Considering how long Relink has been in Development hell this doesn't surprise me that much.
They've probably been sitting on a lot of stuff.

The online has been okay in the EU so far. Lobbies and ranked are populated enough to quickly get matches during prime time and connections have been fine.
Thank you, that's great. I am going to take a plunge. I know almost nothing about GBF but it's ArcSys and the art reminds me of Akihiko Yoshida and a proper fantasy anime setting is always a plus :)
Strongest debut of a traditional* fighting game
I believe Arms, Dissidia, and of course Smash did better.
The art director/character designer for the franchise (Hideo Minaba) worked alongside other FF artists on FFV, VI, IX, and XII previously.
What if told you the chief illustrators on Granblue Fantasy are Hideo Minaba and Akihiko Yoshida...
Happy to hear that! But damn, I even checked his wiki entry to avoid looking like a fool. Didn't work I guess :D
Already made a HK account and bought the game. Excited to play it.
And they are working as CEO and director of CyDesignation, a fully owned art subsidary of Cygames. Also Lost Order RIP
Pretty interesting article, that quite some planning ahead.
Now I'm wondering if they did the same for Re:Link.
Yoshida is indeed involved as well. I hesitated to say so since I only knew that Minaba was for certain.

Having actual consequences for jumping in all the time is nice.
I feel the complete opposite. Katalina is like the one character that gives me trouble with Metera lol
if it helps you at all, the things that give me a lot of trouble are her fireball and lunge attack which lets here get in pretty safely. Press that hell out of 5H because that button is insane and lets you hit confirm into full combos from like half a screen away, beats out a lot of my buttons because it seems to be active for a while, and is just generally a really good button.
Oh dang Ferry mixed me up so much online I even got her name wrong. I meant Ferry, not Metera lol
Ah. Yeah, I don't have as much trouble against Katalina using Ferry, though generally I think Katalina can hang in the fireball game at least. Ferry's whips don't go fullscreen. Just be careful about the ex grab because that's the one thing that does and pretty much her main answer to the fireball.
Aah, so the grab is a Skill! I thought it was her unique. I gotta eye that cooldown meter then. That 2U has a gigantic range but at least I'll feel I'll be able to do something then. Thanks!
Hang out around this range unless you get really close
If she isn't near the corner follow up with the M thrust instead of EX
If you are in that funky spot a little closer to her there than kat is in the vid jump back and use a falling j.H
When you see her twirl her whip and you are close it's safe to roll forward
Once you are pretty close to her use c.M and H to pressure with fireballs.
Take the match slow and steady unless you already got her pinned down
It's definitely a bad time. Some things that might help:
Kat's 214x can help keep Ferry from swinging out of disadvantage (after a blocked normal/236x) at further distances. 214M's startup backstep can force a whiff from the max distance of f.5M/2M/f.5H and lunge in before she can recover from the whiff. 214H can also punish if you react to the whiffed normal fast enough.
Ferry's f.5M/2M/f.5H > 236x blockstring has a gap that can be rolled through. Depending on distance, you might be able to punish with a f.5M/2M starter.
f.5M/2M/f.5H has extended hurtboxes during startup and along the extended whip. At further distances you can try to swing at a whiffed whip normal, and at closer you can try extending a poke before the whip starts up completely to stuff it. If you jumped over the poke, j.U can also hit the extended hurtbox. If you're feeling particularly saucy, you can DP through them too - fullscreen L DP can be hard to punish if the Ferry isn't prepared for it. These options should be experimented in training, and is done more on anticipation than reaction. Note that Ferry 236x does not have an extended hurtbox and you'll get hit for attempting these against it.
At half screen distance or closer, 5U can be an option to armor a poke/236x . Briefly hold 5U to armor a hit and release to counterattack. This will likely stuff all cancel options off the poke except 236H. You'll need to backdash cancel this attack on hit or block to avoid being punished.
Be careful of using f.5M/2M > 236x blockstrings from max range - Ferry can mash during the gap: 2U to trade for a knockdown, or 2M to low profile the fireball and hit you. If you are up against a player that knows this, you can cancel into 214x once in a while instead for a counterhit.
Allegedly Kat's c.5a can meaty while recovering fast enough to block all of Ferry's reversals off a knockdown.
It feels like it generally isn't worth trying to get in and take your turn after blocking Ferry's 214x or 5U. It puts her barely beyond f.5M/2M distance and isn't minus enough to dissuade pressing something as you approach.

Damn, thanks Q! I was really lost at what range to be as it seemed she had the entire screen at her disposition. Gotta fish for those CHs.
Wow! This def makes the matchup seem a lot more doable. What a treasure trove of knowledge. Thanks! I have a lot to lab out now.
Aye, c.5A/c.5L.

“Reversals vs Meaty normals (usually cL unless noted) 7f reversals: Kat, Gran, Ferry (EX), Perc 8f reversal: Charlotta SSBA (lol) Block all: Kat, Gran, Vas, Ladiva Block 8f: Zeta, Charl, Lowain, Perc, Metera (2a) Block everything else: Lancelot, Ferry(cM!)”

I had trouble with that for a minute too when looking at the Ladiva google doc
No problem! It'll still be hell even after knowing these options are available, and not many of them seem very stable in the heat of battle so far. Arguably it might make things worse if the opponent catches on and lets you hang yourself by doing nothing or by changing up their timings. But maybe that's better than letting them press buttons for free all day.
Ah, it's at least something to keep in mind.
My on-the-fly strategy that I created when I was playing was using Kat's U to block the low and usually CH the grab but it was inconsistent and got predictable really fast. Having more options at least will give me more ways to try and mixup the other player.
You keep all the characters/equipment. All the hard mode quest allow co-op as well, when only the raid battles had it in normal mode for some reason.
Thanks! Weird that you aren't allowed to co-op every quest in normal mode once you unlock the second character... good to know though.
I am curious, do you think the dub script and Greg Chun did a good job with the charcter of Lowain?

Extremely. The localization is the same for both languages and done by the localization team for the original game so it's all pretty faithful.
The only dub that sounds off to me is percival and it's not so much the acting but the audio mixing sounds off for his recordings compared to everyone else
You don't have to do HK, you can do Singapore too. I bought my cards on Lazada.sg, its in SGD and the cards there were pretty cheap.
Most of the sites selling HK currency, like offgamers/seagm/play-asia, have marked their pricing up quite a bit.
Thank y'all for the tips QisTopTier Kikirin
I managed to finally win some sets against some pesky, pesky Ferries. I feel like I really leveled up my Kat play too
Man, fighting games are so great
