Cygames will probably be a big player, probably even bigger than a lot of the trafition Japanese companies next gen. I'm actually quite excited as most Japanese companies have been operating with lower budgets.

Granblue Fantasy Versus by Arc System Works Announced (PS4/2019/Fighting Game)
- Thread starter Slaythe
- Start date
Really excited for this. I never even considered this game as a possibility cause my mind always just goes to Guilty Gear or Persona Arena when thinking of what I want from ArcSys but I really liked the anime for Granblue last year and love ArcSys so I'm sure I'll enjoy this a lot.
Just from the same company but there's a lot of cross-pollination between all of Cygames' properties. Characters from Rage of Bahamut, Shadowverse, etc. regularly show up in Granblue for example.
ArcSys pretty much outsource everything except critical staff, Xrd had about 20 ASW developers, when about 100 devs worked on the game overall through outsourcing.
A little distressing to hear after how thin DBFZ ended up feeling in the longrun.
I cannot get over how awesome the character art is, and how it'll be the second Granblue Fantasy game where we can fully appreciate the character designs.
Is there a Hideo Minaba art book? Or even just a Granblue Fantasy one. I'd really love to get my hands on one.

There are a TON of GBF Artbooks, ranging from in-game completed art to conceptual art. The "problem" is that they all come with codes for in-game content, which kinda makes them expensive to import (expect to pay $40-50 bucks a piece)I cannot get over how awesome the character art is, and how it'll be the second Granblue Fantasy game where we can fully appreciate the character designs.

I would not want to be responsible for making the roster decisions for this game. There are so many characters that would be a good fit for this game... at least they'll have DLC options for days.
And Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls
And Dragalia Lost
And Princess Connect
The number of successful mobile games they have -- and the amount of money they make from them -- is staggering.

With CyGames being involved, maybe they're handling all of the online infrastructure... although after playing Dragalia Lost, I'm not sure if that would help. :x
CyGames likes to get directly involved in their partnerships, so I suspect that a lot of the additional staff needed would be coming from them directly (see how they have more people working on Relink than Platinum does).

I think there's like 3 Granblue Fantasy artbooks, could be more. Been out of the loop on them for a bit.
I bought all 4 Graphic Archives + the Extra works (they made the concept art available in a separate book this year to leave more room for the illustrations) and they're some of the best art books that I own. If you like Minaba/GBF's art I highly recommend them.I cannot get over how awesome the character art is, and how it'll be the second Granblue Fantasy game where we can fully appreciate the character designs.

Oh shit, seriously? Damn. Probably gonna be a pain to import though... Tsk. Still, cool to know they exist. Hopefully there's going to be an art book (yeah, I know those are small but I'll take whatever I can, lol) bundled with the release of this and/or Relink.
Just saw the news, that definitely looks good
Hopefully this doesn't delay ggx3rd progress though
Only played beta of jp gbf long time ago, not familiar with any of the characters except that rapier knight girl and the blue haired girl
Sword soldier is player character if I'm not mistaken
Dual sword ice ninja seems the most interesting to me from the 4 revealed cast

I haven't paid attention to the main game but if Arc makes a fantasy styled fighter, I'm all in. And even with the boobplate, that knight has a seriously cool design. And hey, fully armoured up.
It would be a SHAME if Feather isn't in this either as DLC or main roster- HE IS GENKI ROCK HOWARD
Personally, I'll be maining Ayer
Man, I wish ASW would share their graphical skills to SNK...
I would love to see King of Fighters game with these kind of graphics.

Oh this is one of them, right? http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1789781The price ain't bad... Never bought anything from CDJapan before, though. Hmm. Seriously considering it now, haha.
If you are in the US, Tokyo Otaku Mode carries them and they are about $50 https://otakumode.com/shop/5b07793434e2320d291d3cc5/Granblue-Fantasy-Graphic-Archive-IV
But will this really sell? The best of PS4 games barely cross 1M in Japan, and the IP is near nonexistent in the west. Persona 5 definitely has more potential to sell worldwide.
If they add a code for gold brick, wedding ring, ssr chara ticket, easy sales.
*looks up Granblue Fantasy* I don't really care for this kind of anime aesthetic, and Arc's jerky/framey animation seems to get lower quality with each release instead of improving. Hmm. Good for them though, getting these licenses.

Incredibly disappointed that no one has made a gif of the part where the girl is revealed to be standing on a box yet.
Internet's slacking these days.

Cygames is the company that sponsors Daigo Umehara right? I wonder if he was involved at all with this project.
The art style will sell itself and its Arc Systems. It's basically a love letter to Final Fantasy, which is not surprising considering Minaba Hideo is doing the art.
On another note give me Zooey, and I'll be set.
