[Knight Dude]

Glad Arc Sys is getting more work. Though I can't say I particularly care about Gran Blue and it's characters.

 

[Double K]

Eh, I think I prefer Final Fantasy Bahamut...

Just as a note, Proto Bahamut is the sealed form

This is the unsealed form

 

[Idon]

It's weird.


Also Vyrn, the little red dragon?


He's also Bahamut.


And when Bahamut is unbound(His chains are broken), he more or less will destroy and rebuild the world in an endless cycle of rebirth and destruction, it's why he's bound in the first place.

So their traveling companion is essentially a tiny amount of the apocalypse.
Aight.

Any other references in the trailer?

 

[RyuhoFox]

Saw the trailer. Looks cool. Hope it makes it over along with that Platinum Games one. What console is it supposed to be for? PS4 I imagine?

 

[Shroob]

Eh, I think I prefer Final Fantasy Bahamut...

Funnily enough, FF's Bahamut is incredibly similar in design to Ultimate Bahamut.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

@Luigi The President
Where are you?
Hitagi's Granblue Fighting game leak just came true.

Aren't you happy for Katalina?

Support your waifu, dammit.

Don't remind me of what they caused that one day.

Eh, I think I prefer Final Fantasy Bahamut...

Now I wonder why...

 

[praline]

bout to be 76 because this baby is about to go to bed

You’re definitely not one of the 77 people I was referring to.

Charlotta's boxes are a reference to her ougi (limit break) in which to extend the reach of her sword beam, she stands on a box. She also did the Obari pose, a common pose done with swords in mecha anime, coined by the mecha designer, Masami Obari

 

[NineS]

I'm sorry, I do not know what it is you are referring to.

Not one bit.

Aka:


She stands on boxes in game because she's super height conscious due to being part of the game's ****** race.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

****. C'mon man. I'm relying on y'all to be fast typers here! Damn it. Sorry, mods. Wish I knew how to delete my own posts

Im not one of em am I?

 

[Knight Dude]

Glad most of my favorite CV tracks made it in. Simon's theme from CV4 being my favorite, and I'm glad multiple versions of that song were added. The original is a goat. I think one of the few I can think of that I'd mod in is Marble Gallery. And Cornell's theme from Judgement was another sick one(makes sense since he's one of the few to get a redesign that isn't trash.)

EDIT: Crystal Drops is another good one. It's like Castlevania and Street Fighter 3 had a love child. And that child kept back-dashing.

 

[Idon]

He's calling whoever voted negatively on Joker a baby.

Also, wow. It's almost like Bahamut is an established character in fiction.

Not to mention those colors are typcial villain colors

 

[Shroob]

Seriously this would be a lot funnier with Prez on.

 

[Zinith]

Also, wow. It's almost like Bahamut is an established character in fiction.

That one is kinda overdesigned.

You know how I am with simplicity

 

[Knight Dude]

And for those who don't know which song is Marble Gallery, it's from SoTN.

 

[Idon]

So, coming from a place of knowledge, who would be the "obvious picks" for this fighting game? Like who are the Future Trunks to Dragonball?

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Hm... What's your favorite Pokémon? Digimon? If you have any.

I'm curious to see if my first guesses are right.

If anyone is curious about the Platinum Games footage for ReLink


Granblue's art director is Minaba Hideo, who worked on a few FF games

(Also Bahamut isn't a villain in most Fantasy games)

Oh, that's cool. But from what I remember, it kinda nuked a planet and you do fight it at some point.

Edit: Ohhh, that was Bahamut Fury, I think

How should I know?

Vira, Narmaya, Percival, Vane, the rest of the main story characters, Djeeta as a Gran clone.

 

[Double K]

Narmaya for Katana
Cagliostro is a super popular pick
the rest of the Dragon Knights (Vane/Percival/Siegfried)
Djeeta as either an alternate skin or a different character
The rest of the main crew (Rackam, Io, Eugen, Rosetta)
Possibly one of the recruitable Primals, like Yggdrasil
Black Knight is one of the first antagonists and is cool
Someone from the Society, being Eustace/Vaserage/Zeta/Beatrix/Ilsa
Any of the Eternals

Anyone with boobs.

My favorite Pokemon is a toss-up between Sceptile and Kecleon (yes, Gen 3 was the one I had most exposure to)

As for Digimon, it's been a long time since I seen the show so I can't remember all the characters, but it would probably be ExVeemon or Guilmon...

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

By that logic, the same goes for anyone with a penis or a butt.

Damn. Would've thought Agumon, although admittedly, he kinda looks like Guilmon so ehh... Partial points.

As for Pokémon, I was way off. But now that you say them, they make sense.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Nevermind, found the traier:

As always, pretty phenomenal work by arcsys.

Jesus ****ing Christ. I give no ****s about Granblue, but I love this and am maining the Lalafell.

You talking to me? If so, then I hope you know it was a jest .

 

[Shroob]

You'd be surprised how large and vocal this game's female fanbase is. I'd wager there's equal merchandise featuring the 4 Male Dragon Knights compared to the entire female cast due to how popular they are.

 

[NineS]

No, no jests.
This is serious business 100% of the time.
Joking is prohibited.

By female fanbase, do you mean the fanbase of the female characters or the part of the fanbase that is female?

 

[Idon]

One of the things my granblue friend showed me was this video where 4 really buff n gruff macho men in speedos singing.

I believe things like that are the female fanservice?

 

[Double K]

Fans that are girls.

Granblue has a large amount of fans who are staright/bi girls, and gay/bi dudes

Oh, the SOIYA squad

it's a bit of a meme of getting the old badass dudes. Came from one of teh summer events where you get on a boat to hunt to eat a giant fish calld Bonito

SOIYA

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

I mean, the girl gamers are getting up there. This means more attempts to appeal to both sides, more naturally.

Also more sexually fluid people arising, so that statement still stands.

 

[Shroob]

Fanbase that's female.

Nah, that's MANNService.

If you want the female fanservice, you go for:

 

[perfectchaos83]

Fujoshi's are just as big a market in Japan as the Otaku's

 

[Idon]

Alright after some rudimentary googling I can say now that I am DEFINITELY a Narmaya main.
Huge fan of the katana and the horns. This extremely appeals to me on a basic degenerate level.

I will say though, I find sandwiching your sword between your breasts/crotch very unsafe.

Huh? Wassat you talking about there?

Fanservice, my boi

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

I can't imagine why these attractive characters are appealing to a certain demographic. I mean, we all like our girly/pretty boys and beautiful ladies, but the real way to please people is to have a blob of writhing mass with gross blemishes and fluids oozing out of them included.
