Grossing over $500M USD on mobile, as a Final Fantasy fan, I’ve always been curious about Granblue Fantasy, but never got to properly giving the universe a shot until now.
With a snappy 15-20 hour main campaign, a pretty standard JRPG world but beautifully realised with high production values, and a crew of pretty stereotypical anime / JRPG characters but earnestly written that they come across on the right side of charmingly - the game serves as a nice introduction to the Granblue universe. The equivalent to JRPG comfort food that doesn’t overstay its welcome and serves as a good respite between the other JRPG heavy-hitters this quarter.
For players that want a little more there is a multiplayer mode reminiscent of Monster Hunter - but arguably with less deep and challenging combat.
The Deluxe edition comes with a nice art book and soundtrack to round off the package. Apparently, the game has already sold 1M copies in 11 days.
