3	[[WMG:Possible characters for the roster (pre- and post-DownloadableContent)]]
4	The game's logo background features silhouettes or specters of various weapons from ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', hinting of their probable appearance in ''Versus''. Other specific characters may be available given their popularity in the fanbase, their implications in the main lore, or simply for having references to other characters of the FightingGame Genre.
5	* Aliza (A marital artist in a game full of weapon users. Similar to [[BattleCouple Yuel teaming up with Societte]], you can have Aliza team up with Stan for her supers.)
6	* Ange
7	* Belial (Another absurdly popular BreakoutVillain who would pair well with Sandy)
8	** Confirmed. He will be part of the second season of DLC fighters.
9	* Black Knight/Apollonia (The primary antagonist of the first arc with the most exposure and depending on the game's story and placement in the timeline, could potentially serve as one for Versus. Bonus points if Orchis appears as part of her moveset.)
10	* Cagliostro
11	** Confirmed for the second season of DLC fighters.
12	* Cailana (A surfer fighting game character is a very unique idea; there could be some influence from [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear May and her dolphin attacks]].)
13	* Cucouroux (The obligatory Arcsys Gunslinger)
14	* Djeeta (the female counterpart for Gran as TheProtagonist and she is seen as one of the text emotes in the lobby)
15	* Drang (with Sturm as an AssistCharacter, as they are known to be practically inseparable, played a big role as antagonists in the first chapter and have been PromotedToPlayable in the gacha at a relatively late point in time. Furthermore, Drang fills a niche as both comic relief and a mage.)
16	** Confirmed. She was a part of the first wave of DLC characters.
17	* Eugen (a main story character, can be seen in the background of the Grandcypher stage)
18	* Eustace
19	** Confirmed as part of the second season of DLC fighters.
20	* Feather (Considering he's literally just JRPG [[VideoGame/FatalFury Rock Howard]], it's debatable how much they want to use him lest they go overboard with him and infringe on SNK.)
21	* Fenrir
22	* Fraux with The Devil
23	* Ghandagoza (Like Feather, Ghandaghoza is seemingly [[ShoutOut based]] on another fighting game character. In his 5★ Uncap, he shares many visual similarities with Akuma from ''Franchise/StreetFighter. Being playable in ''Re:Link'' doesn't hurt either).
24	* Jack-o'-Lantern
25	* Lobelia with The Tower
26	* Loki
27	* Lunalu as some kind of DittoFighter, given that her SignatureMove in the original game is being able to copy almost any skill.
28	** Confirmed for Wave 3 of DLC.
29	* Lyria (She has become playable in the original game later on, so she could upgrade to become playable in this game as well.)
30	* Metera (her Aetherial Bow can be seen on the ''Versus'' logo)
31	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utAO54XMpv4 Confirmed]].
32	* Narmaya (Front-runner for EnsembleDarkhorse of the franchise)
33	** Confirmed, she was part of the first season of DLC fighters.
34	* Nezahualpilli
35	* Percival (his Lohengrin can be seen on the ''Versus'' logo)
36	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0HPx_gcmO8&feature=youtu.be Confirmed]].
37	* Rackam (a main story character)
38	* Razia (Gunlance can server as both a melee and long-ranged weapon)
39	* Rosetta (a main story character, can be seen in the background of the Grandcypher stage)
40	* Sandalphon (A ''ridiculously'' popular BreakoutCharacter who could have a fairly unique moveset with his floating swords ala [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Ramlethal Valentine]])
41	* Sara (Graphos provides most of her offense, not unlike Celica with Minerva in ''Blazblue''. There's also the novelty of a young, petite girl playing like an absolute tank.)
42	* Shirou/[[DubNameChange Nicholas]] (Who doesn't want a tokusatsu fighter in the game?!)
43	* Vanzza (Unique weapon in the form of his tonfas.)
44	* Vaseraga (his Mistilteinn can be seen on the ''Versus'' logo)
45	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuPW-O4fnEc Confirmed]].
46	* Vane (one of the four Dragon Knights, where Lancelot and Percival are fellow members)
47	** Confirmed for ''Rising''
48	* Vikala (One of the most popular Divine Generals. A unique weapon in the form of her bear trap... chain... thing.
49	* Vira (like Ferry, is essentially treated as an important character from the story, and has an incredibly wide selection for ASW to cherrypick from)
50	** Confirmed as part of the third season of DLC fighters.
51	* Wulf and Renie
52	* Yuel
53	** Confirmed as part of the second season of DLC fighters.
54	* Zeta (her Brionac can be seen on the ''Versus'' logo)
55	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuPW-O4fnEc Confirmed]].
56	* Zooey (Incredibly popular and has a versatile moveset with her various weapons)
57	** Color Variant DLC confirmed Zooey is the last character slot for season 1.
58
59	[[WMG:Possible story developments for future chapters]]
60	* The mere inclusion of Belial as the first entry for character pass 2 makes it rather likely that he will be the final boss of that story arc.
61	* Warped causality can have ''weird'' results, such as Narmaya pitching in to defeat Ares. This may open up the possibility for situations from fate episodes or the main story, which have canonically been resolved in the past, to re-occur.
62
63	[[WMG: Future DLC stages / locations]]
64	* Based on the artwork in the glossary (as Jewel Resort and Lumacie Forest were added soon after release):
65	** Feendrache
66	** Tramont Island (The "Mist-Shrouded Island")
67	** The Erste Empire/Kingdom capital
68	** North Vast
69	** The Dydroit Belt
70	*** Confirmed
71	** Zinkenstill
72	* Based purely on speculation:
73	** Erste Empire Warship
74	** Golonzo
75	** The Otherworld
76
77	[[WMG:Certain Primal Beasts will be tied to characters as part of their moveset]]
78	This conjecture is mostly based on Yggdrasil being tied to Lowain as some kind of special move, and Proto Bahamut was demonstrated to be used in some capacity to Gran.
79	* Following this, if Eugen, Rackam, and Io are playable, they will demonstrate their bonds as unlocked in Nalhegrande with various Primals.
80	* Likewise, if Vira is playable, she'll be used to show off Luminiera.
81	* A long shot considering that they are released in the original game three months after the reveal of ''Versus''. What if the ten Arcarum Evokers would somehow be playable too in this game?
82	* Katalina does have Ares, so that's another character with a Primal.
83
84	[[WMG:Certain characters will be able to transform into their Super Modes]]
85	In a similar vein to how Yggdrasil replaces Lowain temporarily when called, there could be a SuperMode mechanic in this game as well, with characters transforming into their more powerful forms temporarily while operating under a meter.
86	* Vira could merge with Luminiera
87	** Confirmed
88	* If Nicholas would be playable, he can use his Kamen Rider PoweredArmor's full potential.
89	* Amira having her [[YinYangBomb Half-God, Half-Demon]] form.
90	* Sandalphon sporting more pairs of archangel wings
91	* Belial in his Avatar form
92	** While not a direct transformation outside of his SSBA, you can fight Avatar Belial in the RPG mode.
93	* Magisa in Morax Summoned mode by fully summoning Morax to be out in the field at all times
94	* Yngwie with his PoweredArmor activated for Tough Guy Mode
95
96	[[WMG:Playable characters in ''Versus'' who are {{Moveset Clone}}s of multiple FightingGame franchise characters.]]
97	* Lancelot seems to have some moves, mechanics and animation copied from [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Ky Kiske (sword combos), Leo Whitefang (dashing through the opponent)]] and [[Franchise/BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]]. Much more so with the latter, who also fights using [[AnIcePerson ice powers]]. Both Lancelot and Jin can also summon sword-shaped icicles and [[HarmlessFreezing encase their opponents in ice]] using their [[LimitBreak most powerful move]].
98
99	[[WMG:Possible ''Granblue'' characters as clones of other FightingGame titles' (especially [=ArcSystemWorks=]'s) characters]]
100	Since the first 3 trailers showcased moves that are apparently lifted from other titles of Creator/ArcSystemWorks such as ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' and ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', {{Moveset Clone}}s and overlapping character themes are bound to happen. For example, Ladiva has [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief's dropkick]], which was ported into Azrael's movesets in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' as referenced [[https://twitter.com/TRLXSTER/status/1127065877109723136 here]], while Charlotta would easily remind ''[=BlazBlue=]'' fans of Es.
101
102	[[AC:From ''[=BlazBlue=]'']]
103
104	* Orchid and Lloyd could be a clone of Carl Clover and Nirvana, as both are {{Puppet Fighter}}s. All four also have purple as their general color motif.
105	* Sen could be a clone of Taokaka, both are cat-like characters who fight using their weaponized claws.
106	* Cucouroux for Noel Vermillion, due to their similarities of having GunsAkimbo fighting styles.
107	* Magisa for Nine, {{Hot Witch}}es who fight using magic.
108
109	[[AC:From ''Guilty Gear'']]
110
111	* Melissabelle could be a clone of Millia Rage, as both fight using their PrehensileHair. The only difference is that Melissabelle is [[LittlePeople short for her race]].
112	* Aliza could be a clone of Jam Kuradoberi, as both are {{Kick Chick}}s who almost have the same fighting stance.
113	* Vaseraga could be a clone of Testament, who also fights using a two-handed SinisterScythe.
114	** Jossed; their movesets are completely different
115	* Lady Grey could be a clone of Dizzy, since both have two creatures assisting them from behind. Not to mention that Necro looks like an undead, which Lady Grey has.

184	[[WMG:There will be at least one character to represent each weapon type]]
185	Considering how touted the weapon skin feature is as a customizable feature for both RPG and Fighter mode and that weapons like guns and staves have already been confirmed but with no corresponding character to use them as weapon skins, it seems very likely that there'll be at least one gun/staff/harp character in future DLC.
186
187	[[WMG: Depending on the success of this game, Arc System Works will then work on a ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' fighter]]
188	Even if it end up exclusive to Nintendo Switch due to Dragalia Lost being a Nintendo property and Cygames being the developer, it could just as well happen.
