Granblue Fantasy Versus by Arc System Works Announced (PS4/2019/Fighting Game)
- Thread starter Slaythe
- Start date
I know what you mean considering I love JPRGs and I'm definitely picking both of these games up despite not having played Granblue (always wanted to but isn't available in the west on ios) but there's not going to be people like that lining up in droves. The IP is near nonexistent in the west, and Japan doesn't buy a lot of console games to begin with, so even then there seems to be a limit on how much reach this truly will have.
I haven't played Granblue.
But I play Arcsys games, so this has my interest i guess.
About this.
I've seen some concern for one button specials, but we should keep in mind that Blazblue has had exactly that for years with its Drive system.
Though it will likely be a lot more simple than BB still.

Actually, it wasn't, he retweeted that tweet today and added "the year is still young"

It won't be a combo game (fighting games where combos last long)
All specials can be done with 1 button
Game speed to be suppressed, combos to be simple
Aiming for something like street fighter 2
Gran's rage raises attack power, Katalina's light wall gives super armor
Triple attack, hp recovery, elemental attack up also exists
No job system
Development at about 60%

Interesting, explained why there are no air combo in the trailer. So it means to be a footsie game.
Just play it in your browser. Game is translated into English officially and doesn't require an app or anything.
What does this even mean? Is this actually going to feel like a Street Fighter game or do they just mean ArcSys is holding back on their multiple bars and assorted weirdo systems?
Looks great. I don't know a ton about Granblue Fantasy, but I really dig this aesthetic. That being said, the first character I gravitate towards is Katalina, but she is haunted by the dreaded boob-bump armor. Designers have to stop giving their character's armor boobs. It is so silly...
Maybe they're going for more grounded combat compared to the average ArcSys game.
I don't play fighting games really...I said I would get Dragonball Z FIgherZ if Broly was announced...and I lied.
That said
Give me Cagliostro-sama, you mice of men!
P.S. Charlotta is looking adorable as always~

Checked the names of the characters appearing in the trailer.
Hm, that Ferry character with her ghost like monster looks neat.
*googles*
"This self-centered knight journeyed to Knights' Island. There her devotion to one woman turned into a dark obsession. "
OK. :D

Looks like a yandere.
Give me Vira and I'll be set.
And give me some Katalina x Vira banter before their fight. Thankyouverymuch
This game looks insanely pretty, wish I stuck with the gacha.

OK. :D
I just thought of a great hustle, all of these Cygames on Sony console. Sony owns FGO.
GBF x FGO
Make all the money

Oh, thought "hopefully they go back on making guilty gear soon enough" implied there aren't already working on it right now!
i wouldn't be surprised if she ends up as DLC. She's popular so people would buy her, and it'd also give them an excuse to not bother including a Djeeta mode for the story, just Gran, which will save them some work.
I know nothing about the franchise apart from it's a mobile game that makes bank. This and the Platinum game look great though and I'm very interested in playing both of them. I really like some of the designs shown in both games.
I assume the latter, i.e it's one on one with a limited amount of moves/systems. That was the impression i got from the footage already anyway.
Basically something like Dragonball Fighterz if you took out the assists and superdash.
never knew that. thats impressive af considering how tight and cohesive the art style and animations were through all the iterations.
ot. granblue looks cool i'll prolly pick it up. would love some great single player modes, hopefully they have something new up their sleeves for that.
I haven't played Granblue but this looks like an easy pickup for me just for the setting and visuals. Also I imagine hype will grow after actually playing Relink, even though this may come out before that, then vice versa I guess lol.
Yup, though I am frothing at the mouth imagining Persona 5 Arena on PS5 so....take your time ASW....no rush....

This realization has sorta bummed me out...
At least release P4AU on the PS4...
Vira best get in.

Now gimme Zooey and Albert too pls.
Well that's a lot less interesting now.
Yeah sorry, I probably could have worded it better, but seems like they're putting most of the GG team on other projects.
Yup. ASW is basically doubling down on adaptations so no more new IPs and such for the foreseeable future
Ah. I was confused at first. Seems like a mobile game only?
That... Would be annoying. I can definitely see them going that route, though, but it would be especially disappointing since Relink has her.
Rumor has it that Arena was put on hold (or delayed) for this.
It's really cool to see Cygames pushing into the console market so much. While I would've preferred to see a new Persona fighting game I'm still pretty excited for this, especially with it being out so soon.
Tbh, the character model is harder to make than usual 3D model. Even if Djeeta shares the same move as Gran, there will be a lot to be tuned to make it work.
I really like how UNIST works so it's a big plus for me.
Battle Fantasia 2! ;-) You know, I'd love to see a guest from that game make it in. Or just some tribute movesets. I legit enjoyed playing Watson, DeathBringer will always be a favorite, Coyori was pretty fun, and Ashley's way of constantly saying "Liviiii!" still rings in my head every once in a while.
*TEXAS*
ANYWAY, I'm fine with ASW branching out in series. I loved it in the 90s, when fighters could introduce me to series and worlds I hadn't gotten deeply into. That definitely doesn't happen much any more, so it's refreshing to have here.
If the combat in this ends up kinda similar to Studio Saizensen stuff (Blade Arcus, Blade Strangers), then... that'll be fairly interesting. I'm always impressed with how much deeper those games can look, once people focus on them. You hear about the simple specials and controls to start, and you think it'll look incredibly stagnant and simple, but after a while the strategy and depth starts to spawn, and they almost look like entirely different games afterwards. This happens with all fighters, surely, but I think it's just a bit more pronounced here. I think it's because I'm always impressed with how much timing and crazy alt uses of abilities blossom from their gameplay designs. You can tell the developers have history in classic fighting games, basically.
I like the rather strong looking line style, and focus on making awesome armor, in this particular rendering style. It gets rid of a lot of the flat colors that Guilty Gear relies on, and seeing a little bit of low-frame animation on higher detail designs is actually pretty common. It's nice to see some Swords & Sorcery get a focus in a newer fighter. Battle Fantasia and Dark Awake -The King Has No Name- were a long time ago, ha.
