I will admit, I don't want to see Final Fantasy Granblue Fantasy turn into FGO. The series' largely cribbed-from-FF "here's a demon we gave a name from Celtic mythology" thing actually works better in this setting, I would argue, and bringing in people like Hercules and Lu Bu in ways such that they're recognizable as themselves would not help the world, I think.

It's been fun.

[up] Well yeah, I'm not saying I want recognizable portrayals of those characters, just that I want to see Granblue's take on them.

Speaking of fgo, I wonder what collabs we're going to have this year. Since nothing stops fate from collabing with other media even if FGO refuses to that would be nice. A collab with an anime like demon slayer would also be good sincebit had a JP in popularity (I'm absolutely not saying that cause I want a Zenitsu unit. Definitely not)

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

[up] I've had a couple of ideas.

As for a Collaboration with the Fate Series, I've thought a little bit about a Fate/Grand Order Event and would love a Fate Requiem Collab just to give it some representation, but really, I think we're most likely to get a Fate/stay night Collab.

Cygames does seem to be trending towards collabing with whatever's a popular anime of the season but like only two seasons after, so KNY does have a pretty good shot.

We're actually due for a crossover in about a month since the last one was like five months ago.

Also my dream crossover is FFXIV even though that would require Squeenix and Cygames to like actually acknowledge the elephant in the room

We're also supposed to get that previous Love Live event added to the side stories at some point in the future. Here's hoping that they reveal more info about that during the anniversary stream.

I do lots of stuff. The real question is am I any good at that stuff.

If it's alright with you guys, I'd like to talk about the three ideas I've had for Granblue games for a bit (One of them I'm saving for the "Granblue Fantasy Versus - developed by Arc Systems Works" thread since its more related to that game).

One of them is a Racing Spin-Off Game, based off of the "Platinum Sky" and "Platinum Sky II" Events. Just a game where you can races through the skies in speedships as Meteon, Maddie, Gran, Djeeta, Zeta, Beatrix, Catherine, Dorothy, Nicholas, Sturm, Drang, Claudia, Vaseraga, Eustace, Io, Fehr, Rosetta, Cain, Eugen, Katalina, Vira, Lowain, Rackam, Lyria, Lecia, Reinhardtzar, and more! Now who could be hired as the Developer for that game, I wonder...?

And finally, the last Granblue Fantasy idea that I have that I want to share is a Console JRPG Spin-Off series; Granblue Fantasy Hardcover!

Using the same engine as Relink, the Hardcover series would be more traditional JRPGs available for all or most Consoles that adaptates the Story Arcs of the main game, made for those who want to enjoy the story without having to worry about the Gacha elements. They would also incorporate the Side-Stories and Events as best as they can, with the exception of Collaboration Events (Which would be left out) and Side-Stories so popular among the fanbase and so important to the lore that they get made into their own games instead (Like for example the "What Makes the Sky Blue" trilogy).

Of course, there would be differences, like Aaron being made into a Main Story Party Member, previously Generic Background and Side-Characters being given unique designs and names, incorporation of Events, Characters, and Music from other Side-Materials (Like the Manga, Drama CDs, Anime, and other Games), tidying up of plot-holes and inconsistencies to make for a tighter narrative, creative liberties taken with adaptating certain Events so that they don't feel contrived (Like for example the Holiday Events, since the Harcover games would not use a real-time clock nor specific which date the story is taking place in other than not a holiday), and new Characters, Enemies, Bosses, and Summons, a lot of them being either transferred or reissued from Rage of Bahamut, but overall would still try to be a true and/or close to the original story as possible even with these differences.

The list of Volumes I have thought of for this series is as follows;

  • Granblue Fantasy Hardcover Volume 1: Girl in Blue
  • Granblue Fantasy Hardcover Volume 2: Dawning Sky
  • Granblue Fantasy Hardcover Supplemental Volume: What Makes The Sky Blue

Volume 3: Wayfaring Astral and other future Volumes based on the other Story Arcs would not be planned until after the main game is done with them first.

So, what do you guys think?

Aaron should indeed be playable I agree

I have to respect Yuel's dedication to her brand to the point where even the rest of her family dressing up for the occasion won't get her to budge.

[up][up] Some details I forgot to add;

Both Gran and Djeeta would be Co-Protagonists of the series like what was originally planned for the Anime, with fleshed out and individualized personalities.

Alts for characters would be in the games, but as different playstyles for them that you can freely switch around rather than their own characters.

Image links, please?

Would it also be alright to ask for links for those songs besides the Versus soundtrack? I'd like to listen to them.

Now that I think about it, how many playable characters are there in the game? Including upcoming ones like Mugen but excluding Alts?

This might be off but according to the Journal, there are 352 unique playable characters.

353 if including Mugen, 354 including Gran/Djeeta, 355 including the Trial Battle-exclusive Sierokarte

EDIT: I was wrong by about a margin of ten, have replaced it with the correct numbers.

The anniversary celebrations have started now that it's past midnight in Japan.

The scratcher cards are downright insane, you get 3 coins every day to use on a lottery card and the prizes range from a Siero Ticket (!!!!!) to any 140% elemental booster or Primarch summon (!!!!) to a gold bar (!!!) to any Grand Weapon (!!) to mats like 3 Ultima Units or 5 Centrums (!)

I also got 300 Soul Berries on my first scratch, and four Bahamut Horns on the second. Quite nice, if a tiny bit underwhelming compared to the grandest possibilities.

It's been fun.
