Today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu included an interview about Granblue Fantasy with producer Yuito Kimura and director Tetsuya Fukuhara, who talked about the progress of Granblue Fantasy Relink and more.

Yuito Kimura mentioned that development is moving on quietly. While he can’t provide specific details, the game has progressed to the point that it’s fun to play, and if development keeps proceeding as smoothly as it is now, he feels that the team will be able to deliver a game that will please the fans.

He also confirmed that Cygames has a set goal for a release window internally.

The two developers were also asking if there could be more games in the future using the Granblue IP.

Yuito Kimura mentioned that there are some games that they want to make, so hopefully it’ll happen at some point.

Tetsuya Fukuhara also confirmed that he has some ideas, but despite the fact that Granblue Fantasy Versus has been released, development of updates and DLC will continue for a while. On top of that, there’s the development of Relink, so he would like to focus on those two first.

Yuito Kimura added that Relink isn’t an easy game to develop, so there isn’t much that can be done in parallel with it. That being said, he’d like to work on a casual game for the franchise.

Been interested in this game based on the earlier clips. Versus looks nice but I haven't played a fighting game seriously in quite some time.

 

[sublimit]

I wasn't interested in Versus but i can't wait for Relink. Hopefully it will not take much longer to finish it.

 

[Danjin44]

Very, very much hype for this game, even more than FFVIIRemake.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I just hope it sells well in the west. It still feels like the franchise isn’t talked about a whole lot. The footage from Relink looks like a lot of fun. It reminds me of the vibes Level-5 use to give off.

 

[Saber]

I'm actually more inclined to knowing when this gonna arrive.

Could use more gameplay videos though. I'm slowly losing interest in this game.

So basically we have to wait until December to get another announcement. :/

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Holy fucking shit delayed again. Fuck you.

 

[caffeware]

Gonna look outdated by the time it's released.

 

[Kamina]

Was looking into this game some days ago and couldn’t find anything regarding a release. Now it makes sense.

The game looked promising so lets hope the development really is alright.

I was hoping against hope, we would be playing it by the end of the year. I guess not. Cry Games, you had one job to do this year, and you failed me for the last time. Oh well, I guess Genshin and Cold Steel 4 will be my end of the year jrpg fix.

For me I still have 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim and Bravely 2 to look forward for this year. But god damn, just like Tales of Arise I was looking forward to play this game this year.

It looks better than all the next gen shit they have shown us so far.

Totally forgot about 13 and Bravely 2. Well that's four to look forward to at the end of the year. Legit bummed about Arise as well. Next year is going to destroy for jrpg fans.... It better

 

[Danjin44]

I agree this game’s art direction is absolute fire.

 

[Enjay]

It's taken them 25 years and firing several studios and ive seen 0 hype or discussion about their rpg or their fighting game which im not even sure if it's out yet. Good to hear they can at least have some ideas though.

 

[Haeleos]

The fighting game is excellent and very easy to pick up and play.

 

[Blond]

I really hate Marvel for starting this trend with their trailers of mock announcements for real announcements.

 

[DESTROYA]

*sigh*

 

[Celcius]

I'm ok with it being delayed, I just look forward to it being super fun and having lots to do whenever they finally do release it.

 

[Klayzer]

I love Japanese games, but they are the worst with these serialized announcements of an announcement. Stay tuned to the next announcement. I feel like I'm watching an episode of DBZ or Inyuyasha.

At least Cygames give us gameplay footage, Atlus give us three SMTV trailer with zero gameplay.

Toche, CyGames gave us gameplay very early in the process too. Very unusual, but appreciated nontheless.

And that is out in 2021. They already took out the female mc in favor of "???". Which sucks, would have been the first SMT mainline game ever with a female protagonist. (nine?)

Hype

I think the female character still in the game and my guess is she is going to be either Law or chaos or they go with Nocturne route and give us “reasons”.

Drools at those updated Nocturne pics you posted a few days ago. Can't wait to jump back in.

I hope. Would have been cool to play as a woman and not a "??????" whatever it is.

 

[JORMBO]

Next year it is then (hopefully?).

[mcz117chief]

Next year is guaranteed, if it isn't then they would be slipping into the vaporware territory. It was announced in 2016 for Goodness' sake.
