Granblue Fantasy |OT| English Translation available as of 2016/04/11!

Personally I'm like being able to read what I'm playing, but I guess the English patch hasn't been released yet. So it's a no go.
Yeah but most likely the English patch is being implemented on the 22nd. Most of us have just been doing the rerollong to get it out of the way in anticipation for the English. You can also go back and redo story missions. Take me for instance, I got my SSR, have been doing mainly coop battles and just barely touching the story, and when English hits I'm going back tontje archive to find out what I missed and catch up with the story. I just wanted to get the rerolling out of the way.

Can't stop wondering about when we'll see Cygames console game. I mean, after reading this interview http://gematsu.com/2015/12/cygames-boss-no-comment-granblue-fantasy-ps4 and watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOAA063m40 it all seems certain that their game will be a console game of Granblue Fantasy.


The thing I'm worried about now? Will it be VR only or not. I sure hope not... not for a game as amazing as what Granblue Fantasy has to offer.

I saw you tweet this. Holy shit. I really hope this is what their PS4 game looks like. :3

Largely the same here; I've been grinding the heck out of the collaboration event rather than doing the main story content. I reached Rank 26, am well on my way to unlocking the dark fencer class, and have ground out enough materials to get an SSR summon (Brunhilde) and an SSR staff from the event (in addition to the SSR weapon / character I pulled during my reroll.)

I mean... the character design and outfits are on point. I hope it looks like that too but the VR part has me a little worried. I feel it could hold back on a truly amazing PS4 game. Also, if they didn't do VR, they could probably touch on the visuals more but for what we saw through the VR lens, I think that looks pretty darn good.
 
Is anyone playing the actual CG app game?

I've gotten to rank 25 without actually doing anything, basically using my stamina and refills whenever I have them and feeding my Rin other girls but I had a few other questions on how tobdo stuff.

How do I choose what girls FL go in my party? I guess early on it auto selected and I haven't been able to find out tondobit again, much less boe to level these girls up. I can only find how to level up my main girl (which is Rin) and swap her out for another girl to make them main.

What's my currency? I'm guessing it's the money used for leveling up the girls, is there any shop in the store I can spend the money on to buy stamina drinks? I've only found the store to spend mobacoins on.

Just trying to get to level 40 for the GB prize.

Damn, never managed to get that fourth axe to drop, could grind for another hour or so but bed feels more appealing ;)

Edit: Clearly complaining online works, got one on my last go, happy to get one MLB'ed

Edit 2: This issue of Famitsu comes with a code for a fully limit broken carbuncle of each colour (theyre a bit worse than regular carbuncles but might be useful if you dont have one of that colour), not bad for about three quid - http://bookwalker.jp/de2c47492b-a702-42cc-9e68-8d691c4c5720/%E9%80%B1%E5%88%8A%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%9F%E9%80%9A-2016%E5%B9%B43%E6%9C%8824%E6%97%A5%E5%8F%B7/ once purchased you can see the code on your "amenity logs" page - https://member.bookwalker.jp/app/03/my/amenity_logs. To enter the code, go to My Page, hit Top, scroll down until you see a banner which reads シリアルコード入力, click on it and enter your code there.

^^ Grats :p

So GBF should have 6h maintenance today? If Iam not mistaken it starts at 17:00 CET, which is 7h 45mins from this post.
If someone has exact / other info about maintenance please tell so I can change the countdown time to right.

6 hours maintenance starts in:

Ended up getting Sachiko and one fire axe. Considering I only started playing when the event started I'm pretty happy ^^
 
Shit I forgot it was on JP time, which makes it today. Was expecting it to be down tomorrow in the US. So quite possibly English later on in the day :x

Somehow Iam thinking that they do maintenance before Guild Wars, but will release English stuff _after_ GW. Buy your daily stuff from Casino store before maintenace.

Started rerolling for this game, got jeanne d'arc on fifth try. Is she good? I know next to nothing about this, she has quite a bit of stars in the tier list...

Fine unit. The only 'problem' is light. Light and dark take 3x as long to build up a weapon pool as the other main elements. So, knowing that, if you're cool with what I just said, you're good to go.
 
How rare is it for the actual SSR version of a summon, not an orb, to drop on the very first time fighting it? Are there requirements or is it pure luck?

The weapons are rarer. You'll be complaining about getting too many summons soon enough while farming your weapon pool.

So it's based on luck then? Does getting MVP or 1st, 2nd or 3rd have any effect? Just wondering because I just hit rank 30 and all the multi battles have been giving gold chests. I've only done 3 fights, I forget what I got from the first bit it was nothing special, second was the dark SSR I mentioned, and third was just mats. All different enemies, didn't get top 3 in any, and all 3 showed gold chests.

Just luck. You can get extra red chests to increase your chances. One for MVP, one for hosting the raid.

Hosting and getting MVP both give a red chest, while the rates are different for each magna. You can count on the chances of an SSR being a lot higher than an usual gold chest. There's a picture with the rates somewhere.

Outside of that, the more points you gain, the more exp you'll get, which is also rather nice.

I'm not sure if it's just a rumour, but getting the second place in a magna also gives you an extra gold chest, it has happened in the few times where I got Nr2. But take this with a huge grain of salt. Hope someone else can confirm.

Ah okay. I guess if I were building a dark team this drop would have been better.

Back to bingo LOL

I wish Id known this earlier today. I mean I joined to Celeste and it had about 5% left and one person doing it. So I did some damage to it before it died (got Valors) and was "Wow 5th chest". Then I got the stuff "Wtf" 5th chest had Dark Jean. What a letdown.

Yup, only 2 person did that Magna, I contributed about 1% (or less) damage to that, got 5 gold chests.

2nd place is more likely to get a 5th chest and usually only if TH is at max stacks. or it might just be 4 chest. Typically, if there's no TH stacks even, youd only get 3 chest normally if you didn't place in the top 2.

So how does the guild wars work? Assuming no English, I think I'm going to need to read up on what to do with that to start getting some rewards.
 
4 more hours until thread implodes into utter disappointment.

This doesn't include the inevitable delay!

So how does the guild wars work? Assuming no English, I think I'm going to need to read up on what to do with that to start getting some rewards.

It's literaly nothing special for a pleb guild like ours, just grind bosses and share the multibattles with the guild. It's just your normal "kill bosses ---> Get tickets ---> Roll gacha"

The grand prize of the gacha this time around is a Guild War weapon (you can choose the weapon type for yourself).

Outside of being a strong weapon, they're a step for unlocking GW characters, but you don't have to worry about that, it's pretty end-game.

Aaa, I've been lurking in this thread but completely lost track of time and didn't realize the Guild Wars event is already coming up. Is there any chance to get an invite to the GAF guild before the event starts?

It was quite recent and we've been seeing little changes already here and there.

The most recent news I am seeing is Sept 2015 which I guess depending on how you look at things could be recent. To me that is a decent amount of time without any new fanfare to promote the English release.

I'll be real happy if it does happen today (or in March at all), and I've been lurking enough to see the small updates they have been doing. I'll just be real surprised if it actually happens today.
 
Is that digging through data or updated on the actual site? Because I'm still going off of memory and Google translate still. App and browser.

Digging through data, you can even do it yourself on Dev mode.

Btw, people should keep in mind that the fact that we found these files in March doesn't mean that all the translations were done in March. I wouldn't be suprised if the old event screens (and others) were localized already a few months back.

I've been waiting for the presumed English patch to hit before I start.

Same. I've had the app installed for a little while now but I haven't jumped in yet. If today is not the day, I'll be a little bummed because I'm off tonight, so there's plenty of time to play away. But I'll be happy when I can get it... just happier if it's sooner, heh.

I really hope we get that English patch today, but something tells me we won't. Just a feeling. :(

I've been playing the last week or so, just doing simple dailies, the Idolm@ster collaboration, and building up my units as well as unlocking jobs. I haven't focused on the story content yet, since I want that English patch first (even though I can re-read everything later, I want to experience it all "in the now" if possible.

Please, English patch!
