Maybe some more updates on GranBlue Fantasy Versus?.... OR maybe an update on Relink? Which they stated on December to be targeted for 2022. 👀
CyGames, still no official way to play Granblue in the west, but the game is fully translated in english and playable, has been for 7 years lol
We got Relink comin' though. It'll be nice to have something hopefully less predatory than gacha.
Not sure what that account is about since the GBVS and Relink accounts do tweet in english but why not. For the people worrying about yet another Relink delay, it seems CyberAgent/Cygames are confident with the 2022 target. From their latest FY Q2 results :
Cygames is probably the biggest gaming company in Japan without a western branch.
I mean...Dragalia is many things but I dunno about predatory.
I know little to nothing about ReLink so I'll check it out online.

Yeah which I why I thought this was particularly interesting since they're finally doing this after Dragalia, GBVS, the ZOE port, and Shadowverse.
Those 3 games there are going to be the highest profile international releases they'll have going forward, so I think it's possibly in preparation for that. Otherwise we would've been seeing Relink in the August summer stream anyway, if they're still on track for 2022.
Or it's for an Uma localisation, who knows lol.
I wonder if naming rights with the horse's owners would be an impediment to getting Uma Musume brought over. Having said that, didn't seem to be a big issue with getting the anime on Crunchyroll so maybe not.
Hmm interesting. Makes sense since they have a few console projects in development that are also releasing internationally. I hope they handle those releases better than GBVS.
They already dropped the price of that permanently.
The base version is 20 bucks and the version with all the (current) DLC characters is 50.

yabai desu ne
That account follows GBF, GBVS, GBF:Relink, Shadowverse, CygamesPictures but not Priconne, World Flipper or Uma Musume.
Also in before Akiba Maid War, Project GAMM or Lost Order haha... ha. ha. Sigh.

There is an official way to play Granblue Fantasy - Their official browser app that is also localized in English by CyGames. You still have to pay in Yen if you go down the gacha hole, but it's not region locked to anything.
It's honestly the best way to handle it than having to update two versions that would be almost 9 years apart in content.

Vs dropped to 20 bucks and a legendary edition with all dlc for 50 as a permanent price drop.
They recent get Montjeu(real one this time) and The Arc(race)'s right so maybe there is chance.
I've seen a lot of people suggest that the account might not be legitimate. Zero acknowledgement by any of the other official accounts.
God, I just realised: imagine if they branched out to the international racing scene and ended up making a Red Rum horsegirl complete with a Grand National event.
Britain would explode.
The game is getting localized in Korea very soon, so I don't think it leaving Japan is impossible.

For what it's worth, the Granblue director is following it (and plenty of Cygames twitter accounts don't have checkmarks). But yes, it does look weird/fake. We're getting Relink news early August in the worst case anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
They announced Taiwan release too.
Putting aside if the account is real or not, I hope Cygames can step up their marketing a bit.
GBVS's marketing and release was pretty weak/confusing and it would be a shame if that carried on over to Cygames upcoming projects because they look promising.
Re:link looks super high quality but it's pretty much only ever shown off during streams for the original mobile game. Not surprised that people don't know it's set to release this year for now, or they just don't know about it at all.

I think it was announced, or at least shown, in past Sony TGS events so it'd be nice if Sony had the game again on one of their big showcases.
At first, I assumed that this was about then finally making a Granblue English account.
Like their parent (CyberAgent, which started as an internet advertising agency), they're really good on the marketing front in Japan and to a much smaller extent in East Asia, but have left the field so wide open everywhere else that almost everyone else worth their salt (ex. China, Korea, Aniplex, to an extent bushiroad) have overtaken them in marketing mindshare overseas as they haven't put much effort ever since bursting out and crash and burning with Rage of Bahamut (with DeNA).
Almost ironically given the replies to the initial tweet, they're most known statewide for a game that's announced end of service (Dragalia Lost, co-developed and published with Nintendo)
CyGames/Nintendo’s Dragalia Lost will be shut down
Everyone who still played this probably saw the writing on the wall months ago, but it’s still really sad to see. I’ve only ever missed *one* daily login bonus since day 1. I truly, truly love the Dragalia Lost world and characters, and it’s really sad that games like it don’t even get the...

EDIT: Talking about not great (overseas) marketing, the Relink twitter hasn't had an update since Feb 4 after putting out daily tweets since the re-announcement of a 2022 date back in GBFest on Dec 12. Has been three months plus of absolute silence.
Starting from one of their co-founders and now senior producer Yuito Kimura https://twitter.com/KimuraYuito the dev team (particularly GBF's) are big FFXI fans. They did a big collab / 20th anni stream of them fooling around in FFXI not that long back:
EDIT 2: KMR's primarily a producer, he doesn't really direct stuff - I meant to say 'senior managing director' as part of their board.
