Info from today's Granblue Fantasy stream

  • Release date: February 6, 2020
  • RPG mode which turns the game into an Action RPG, has three difficulty modes right now with Easy, Normal, and Hard
    • Can be played single-player or local/online co-op
    • Weapons can be customized (and they will appear as weapon skins) and levelled, there's also a weapon grid similar to the one in GBF
    • Abilities can also be customized, with the options of healing/debuffing/buffing/damage skills
  • There are bosses in RPG mode, demonstrated so far are Colossus Omega, Yggdrasil, Rose Queen, and Proto Bahamut
  • Weapon skins can be used in Versus Mode
  • Choice of 1 gold brick/10 damascus crystals/1 sunlight stone/1 arcarum eviolite with the game's purchase so this is almost certainly going to make as much money as the anime did.
  • Macho Vyrn lobby avatar is a Season Pass exclusive
  • 5 characters planned for DLC pack 1
  • 11 characters for the base roster, so three more characters to be revealed

Three more characters, so Zeta, Vaseraga, and Metera?

Hmm yeah that sounds about right. I can't wait to see how good they look, especially Metera.

Metera is going to be that one character everyone hates fighting against and I'm probably going to embrace her wholeheartedly.

Wait, aren't they supposed to reveal something new for GBVS at EVO? I thought some interviews from the director and producer mentioned something about this...

this character is going to be the most obnoxious character to fight

projectiles, double jumps, controllable super jumps, a slide that goes like half screen, an annoying voice and personality

this is the kind of character that will get all of the salty hate messages

i'm gonna love every second of it when i main her

... I thought Ferry had the Absolute Horny Energy in this game though.

And that's just for the ladies.

Oh god this game is going to cause people to black out.

The thing is Ferry doesn't act flirty like Metera does. Most Erunes show off their backs by default, even the males.

Zeta and Vaseraga to round out the base roster

tbh I am way more hype for the Second Advent remix than either character

So I'm assuming with the base roster being revealed 5 months before actual launch we're going to get DLC and/or bonus characters announced before launch right.

They already announced the 5 Character Season Pass. I think the 11 Character base roster hurt the game in my eyes.

Wait only 11 characters for the base roster? Seriously?

Yeeesh at least when Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid came out with a small base roster they only sold the game for 20 bucks.

Marketing this as "fighting game with an rpg attached" probably hurt this in the long run, I don't think "rpg with fighting game attached" would make the roster seem this egregious.


Five humans, three Erune (arguably five given Lowain's trio), two Draphs, one Harvin, and no Primals in the roster, I wonder if Cygames will care about the imbalance (though to be fair, Harvins are probably the most difficult to implement) or not with the upcoming DLC.

It depends if the bonus mode will be substantial enough to justify the price point. Honestly I'm not that miffed about the base roster size, 11 is kinda lowballing it but it's still a pretty standard size for a 1v1 fighting game that's a completely new IP. I get why people are upset, though. Maybe when the game comes out in America they might pull a Samsho where the first season pass is free for a week or so.

[up] Yeah, that might sate the FGC fans who are disappointed at the low initial roster count... making the first Season Pass free. I heard that it will have 5 more characters.

Western release slated for Q1 2020

The Western version will include the GBF code to exchange for a Gold Bar/Damascus Crystal/Sunlight Stone/Sephira Eviolite.

Amazon has it slated for a simultaneous launch with Japan

GBVS just got announced to be one of the two games featured for this year's ASW World Tour, the other being Blazblue Cross Tag Battle. They said the tour is going to be helped by Cygames, so it makes me wonder if the prize pool might be larger than your average fighting game, ha.

Granblue crossover art with Blazblue and Guilty Gear in the official artbook

This is really cute and also I want to believe in an actual official crossover
