History FanNickname / GranblueFantasy

** Niyon of the Eternals gets called "Harptato" due to her WeaponOfChoice.

* Kolulu has quickly gained "Gisla-chan" as her fan nickname as well a [[MemeticMutation meme]] from both the Japanese and English-speaking playerbases starting from her release on June 19, 2019, simply due to her WeaponOfChoice being the Gisla spear, one of the most sought-after end-game weapons for Dark Enmity players.

** Or if taken into the extremes, "[[UpToEleven Grindblue Farmasy]]".

As expected for a gacha game with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, both Japanese and English-speaking communities of ''Granblue Fantasy'' have come up with names for the various characters, events, and summons.

** Anre has a unique twist to this trend. Because of her BadassMustache, he get called "Pringles".

** “What Makes The Sky Blue” Sandalphon in the JP fanbase is often called “災厄ちゃん“/“Calamity-Chan” to differentiate him from playable Sandalphon as well as pre-rebellion Sandalphon, who is referred to as “安寧ちゃん”/“Peace-Chan” by those same fans.

* The Zodiacs / Divine Generals are sometimes mentioned using the animals they represent, rather than by name:

* A nickname for Sandalphon from the Fandom is “安寧“ or “ANNEI”, lifted from when Lucifer referred to Sandalphon as his “Eternal peace”. Though in context it was never used as a nickname, being more of a feeling Sandalphon gave to Lucifer when he was with him, the fanbase treats it as such and often depicts Fanwork Lucifer referring to him as though it were a nickname as well.

* "Monkeygate" - The internet controversy that brought the spotlight of the gacha industry to various gaming outlets in 2016, after a Japanese streamer named "Taste" spent [[https://www.destructoid.com/stories/japanese-man-spends-6-065-on-mobile-game-in-one-night-347853.phtml $6065 within 6 hours]] trying to get Andira (a character based on the Monkey Zodiac). While initial reactions state that the streamer was just that unlucky, it was also thought that Andira's rates were lower than advertised.

** "Gacha Jesus" - One of the obscure nicknames given by veteran gacha gamers to ''Granblue'' (or specifically the streamer that caused the Monkeygate incident) after the controversy, since the game basically triggered a variant of the FollowTheLeader trope where every gacha game would be required to transparently display their exact draw rates to the player (as well as an AuthorsSavingThrow of introducing the "safety net / pick-your-own" mechanics which have since been emulated by a lot of newer gacha titles), having a basis for the revival of the genre so to speak. It basically gave the gacha titles the green light to keep operating for as long as they abide to the rule, [[VindicatedByHistory no matter how low or ridiculous their rates may be]].

* "Monkeygate" - The internet controversy that brought the spotlight of the gacha industry to various gaming outlets, after a streamer spent thousands of dollars trying to get Andira (a character based on the Monkey Zodiac) within 6 hours.

* When Illnot was first released, fans quickly noticed her strange modern getup, and {{Meganekko trait}}, which were observations similar to Friday when the latter was initially revealed, thus Illnot gets jokingly called as "Monday" by some.

* Draphs are similarly referred to as "Cows" due to their biological similarities with these real-life animals - Primarily because of the horns, but fans have also pointed out that male cows have large, muscular builds, while female cows have large mammary glands, both traits of which are common to Draphs of respective genders.

** The western fandom also refers to the human character Tyre as "[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]]" due to their physically similar resemblance, helped by the [[ShoutOut English translation naming]] all his skills and his charge attack after lyrics from Gaston's self-titled song.

* The game is also referred to as Grindblue Fantasy, as grinding quests repeatedly, and farming for materials and weapons are the only ways to be stronger and survive high level enemies in the game.
** Or if taken into the extremes, [[UpToEleven Grindblue Farmasy]].

* "Nanomachine" for Lily, because of her "-nano" VerbalTic. English fans quickly associated that with this [[MemeticMutation meme]] from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.
