Well damn I wouldn't be excited about any of these DLCs lol

Great video bud! 👏👏 Love the GBF universe, I would really enjoy playing Meg, hope she found her way to the game soon.

Huh surprised I missed this upload when it released. Coming from Dragalia Lost, I was quite surprised with how the game prioritised it’s new characters. I loved Dragalia but the main story by the end of the game was how it advertised its Gala Characters and Dragons, basically the GBF equivalent of Grand characters and top level Summons. Comparing it to Granblue where I think the last non alt MSQ character we got was an unrelated alt for the Golden Knight in 2022? In Dragalia I could’ve expected at least 2 Cleo alts in that time. Sucks too since the MSQ gets really good in Nahlegrande and beyond, but a side effect of the writers focusing on end of the month events instead of the main story is that post 63, we don’t tend to see any of the MSQ characters released afterwards with a few exceptions like the writers remembering that Cain’s group and the Golden Knight exist. Also it means that 95% of all events will be taking place in Phantagrande. I believe the only exception to this since I’ve been playing has been Full Metal Man VII, which since Yngwie’s motivation was his kid in another Skydom it had to be done. I do wonder what’s going to happen next with the MSQ? I am hoping that eventually the writers will start to add long time characters sprinkled into more events after all of the current storyline is wrapped up, but I do wonder how it’s going to be done. They could pull a Dragalia and just reset the universe and have it so they can have fan favourite characters like Seofon and Sandalphon in the main story, as well as retcon some things like certain characters deaths like the True King and Violet Knight, as well as bringing back that one Skydom destroyed by the otherworld? One thing to mention is that Relink does touch on each of the previous Skydom’s visited very briefly but of course doesn’t go into detail what happened in Oarlygrande at all, but since the MSQ are alive that does mean that it’s either a separate timeline or could even tie into the writers basically resetting the MSQ universe to have the fan favourite event characters. It sucks that it’s a long time between chapters but I do have hope that we’ll see a continuation at some point maybe next year.

Main Story Quest is one of my favorite parts of Granblue but it's so sad how little attention it gets in comparison to most other things. It's the primary storyline of the entire franchise, shouldn't it get more attention? Even in things like Granblue VS it gets little attention, with only about 4-5 characters from the MSQ being playable.

While I do think early chapters were definitely suffered bigly from filler fights. I thought the 2nd arc was amazing and 3rd arc had some moments but it's definitely rushed as hell. And I disagree with your take about stories in gacha games. Like sure GBF and FGO definitely had rough start story wise. But I do think FGO Camelot and Babylonia being so good is where gacha games generally try to have a good story in them

Hi ducky

In the Early chapters, I found it funny that they kept using Monsters as a segway to transition from one scene to another. Eventually that all changes. Though, personally i'm not worrying all that much about the Main Story as i've been thinking about the continuations of other stories. But at the same time, we're nearing pretty crucial parts of the story regarding the MSQ. So if they need more time to cook, then by all means, i'll let them cook. I don't see much hearsay about the MSQ from my POV, let alone anything regarding lore, and that is mostly due to how people don't have that much knowledge about lore in the game. Even people on subreddit, let alone the cesspool that is Twitter. There isn't very many lore channels in Granblue (EN), because the EN side is small compared to the JP side which is probably the size of a single hoyoverse playerbase in NA or something. _This is also why, I end up finding and befriending people who have a similar interest to the stuff I like from JP more than in EN._ (Also atm my GW grind is going fine, im going to nab the new skin next round.)

As someone who played Dragalia Lost, I don't mind the wait. At least the game is in no rush to finish, due to END OF SERVICE or anything like that. If it were the opposite I'd be a lil worried. Also I'm ready for this GW to be over I HATE WIND. I ain't spending a stone for Katze's S4 for 250. Also I don't care much for the story? I sped read thru it when I 1st started and thought it was pretty whatever. Some of it felt pretty cliche even, with the main cast going thru their power arcs.The story now is pretty cool (although it feels like it's rushing to the end anyways with how the MC got the final piece through the multi timeline method). I'm def eager to see how the end game place will look like (I forgot the name).... if we ever get to it.

IM HOT

I was surprised at the length of the event but I personally chocked it up to its plot being on a smaller scale than a Dragon Knights event. Of course we will most definitely be getting a sequel but with Cygames I dunno if it’ll be that soon? My original prediction for this event series was maybe it was a buildup for the next Anniversary event and we’d be getting multiple of these events in a row leading up to it, but honestly that sounds really lame since I appreciate the diversity of events and not knowing what you’re going to get. To have the next 3 or 4 events be the same plot line is a bit tiring. The eye thing is interesting but I’m curious to see how that comes in since SR Dante has a different eye on his chair. Mimlemel also exists and the eye on her second pose on her first version looks very similar to the Agarthan symbol. Will we be seeing her? Originally I did think that the eye had something to do with the Enforcers due to R Dante’s pose but with the Agarthan’s all using it I’m personally thinking that Dante’s inclusion was actually just a lucky guess l, that Monster has no wider relevance outside of sharing the symbol and that Mimlemel will continue having no plot relevance and just be used for jokes. I know you said we had an empty month but haha. We’re getting Alchemist’s Desire in Side stories so we might be finally getting the third Cagliostro event as you predicted with Clarisse’s Uncap. There’s even a precedent for it this year with the second Lumiel Knights event coming out in the same month that the first event was added to Side stories. So my personal hope is actually that we get a separate event with a Monscian sequel coming out in a year or so provided it isn’t the setup to an Anniversary event.

2 things I don't like about Monscian event 1. Heine's drip at the ending of this event. 2. That new Bob's art is actually Julian in disguise. And here I thought we got the Cooler Bob as helmsman's art. But overall a very satisfied event for me. I nearly read all of them in one go except it's late night so I only finished chapter 1 and then comeback next morning and read it all in one go. Not every event can hook me like this.

@4:58 To think Siegfried could've been well down this path. Because when he was on the run after King Josef's passing, he was eating ate Monster Flesh _once_ to stave off hunger. @4:23 Additionally, that NPC is Julian. He infiltrated the Ship right when the Agarthans sent a ship full of severed heads. Monika is under the impression that the "Helmsman" was the one chosen as a survivor to transport the heads as an instigative message of War. Throughout the parts of the event, it kept mentioning about the "Helmsman" who really just looks identical to Julian as he keeps speaking on things that just give him away that he's Agarthan. But the strange part is that, the "Helmsman" Julian, saw a spark go off despite the flare being destroyed. This could be Kartha keeping herself quiet, or the missing Agarthan "Datura" that wasn't spoken of yet. _(Or it could be just a fabricated story to trick the reader, but eh.)_

Yeah it def felt like an act I. Unusually short for a story and mostly set up in this new story. I really hope act II comes rather soon, cuz I feel this new arc could be really interesting to read. This felt like an appetizer before the main course.

hi ducky!!! i've been watching your videos for a while now, and they're always so enjoyable!!! it's so rare to find people on youtube who talk about the things you do irt gbf. i think i discovered your channel from the 4 characters you want a playable version of video, and i've been enjoying your content ever since!! <3 this video inspired me to put myself out there and say hello, as i run a tiny gbf resource myself. :D it's not as grand in scope as any of these... but it's a text archive of the entirety of gbf's msq! my curiosity has gotten the best of me, and i'm wondering if you've ever seen or heard of it... and if you haven't, maybe it will help you out in a future video!! ^o^

no tifa?

Hi ducky

Arriet happens to mention a person named "McCoy" who [Spoilers] who ends up being revealed in the new event story "Monscian". Given Arriet is a covert operative of the Enforcers just like McCoy, perhaps she may be revealed to be in that story series down the line. But I dont got much to say there and I happened to see some of the Fate Episode on KZbin. Initially I never had much interest in it until I saw that you mentioned the Blue Knight was involved. _Conveniently_ the current story event that's out is related to the Enforcers. (and its about time there's an event with the Enforcers in it, i've waited years for that. lol)

The purpose of this Uncap was probably Cygames wanted an old Wind character to Uncap before Wind GW and some guy at Cygames hates Carmelina so they went with Arriet instead but didn’t feel the need to expand on her character since she’s undercover. I find it really funny that they basically just retold Arriet’s original Fates but with better writing. Maybe one day we’ll see a Sword Arriet. One thing not mentioned here is actually that Arriet name dropped McCoy, an Enforcer who actually shows up in the new event going on now. With this new event having a pretty big Enforcer focus and it basically just being a setup for the next event in it’s series, I do wonder if Arriet would show up? Issue is she’s still undercover so I dunno, but anything is possible. Alternatively the second part could just replace the Crew characters of this event, Dante and Will, with some other characters. One thing that does interest me about Arriet’s Fates is her title, Harpist of the Gods. While this doesn’t seem too related to the new event Monscian. It does make me think that she could be important in an event that’s related to something like Bahamut? But that’s the issue with her. Until the writers reveal what her whole deal is, the most she’ll get is the occasional story with other musicians in the crew like the Holiday 2021 story or one Sidequest worth 50 Crystals.

where are u from bro i love ur accent

Okay but have you considered that Tikoh is *REALLY HOT*.

Interesting that outside of Zeta and Vaseraga’s Fates and probably Manamel, for the most part Halloween units are just fun romps, though hearing that Satyr’s is an epilogue to a Summer event that happened over 3 years ago now is pretty funny, what’s with that event and being related to random Seasonal characters that didn’t even show up in that event? I really love Halloween units in gacha games, I don’t play the games for fanservice so I personally just see a huge skip during swimsuit season, but I love how creative that the designs can be every year, like this year we got like 10 girls in a bikini and for Halloween we’ve had a maid, a Jiangshi and whatever Wilnas is supposed to be (a ghoul or a generic zombie I think?) Personally I’d love to see another Halloween alt based on a previous Halloween story like Dante’s alt was, with him previously wearing the same face paint in I think 2020’s Daily Login story? Off the top of my head I would like to probably see a Lucius Halloween alt, I feel like it could make for an interesting either conclusion to his arc, if we finally see another Goblin slaying story before next year, or be another setup to raise the stakes before we hopefully finish with this storyline set up by his SSR.

Yeees, I was hoping for this vid. Also my fav halloween unit is H. Cucu. I like witches, so I had to have her. Plus, she's earth, so I had to get her eventually as an earth main. Thru luck throughout my time playing the game, I've also gotten H Zeta/Vase and H Bea, so now I can do a full witch team x 3 Also I'm hopin Illnott can get a halloween ver, cuz she keeps getting alts despite being completely irrelevant. She's gonna be a rainbow unit one day I tell ya!

I never had any favorite Halloween characters, until Satyr got her Halloween version. I'm perhaps the most dedicated and knowledgeable when it comes to her in the community so I nabbed her immediately. Satyr's Halloween Fate Episode was pretty funny and alot of fun during the last part as everything was ramping up to that point and I find myself rewatching that scene alot. I want to see one day see Nezha and Baal hanging out together for once.

I'm glad that new players are coming to this game, and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do. The best thing I like about this game is how quickly you can enter and do a raid-it only takes seconds!

yayyyy tjank u for covering dragon knights. i now understand the haterisms and remarks u make on the event series now and then. and i also agree about vane being a great character. my impressjon as a newbie is that its really funny that he has this whole childhood besties / i want to catch up to you thing with lancelot who is... honestly a very boring and static character? GET VANE OUT OF HERE......... PUT HIS BOOBS SOMEWHERE MORE INTERESTING....

I'd probably pick Anre, since politics always comes up at my family gatherings. What Evoker would you bring to the barbecue, though?

Hi ducky

Big props to all of those who help make this game easier for us. I’m mainly just a wiki user but I also always keep one tab open for the EN Twitter account. One thing I really appreciate on the gameplay side of things is the amount of guides written by players. I’ve learnt so much from these things which have helped immensely. Learning Diaspora for example would’ve been so much harder without all of the resources made by other players. They all deserve nothing but the best rolls and the most frequent Sand and Brick drops. Another place I want to praise is actually the EN Reddit. Yeah it’s still Reddit and that place can be a hellhole up there with twitter, but the people there are genuinely really helpful. Moving back to discussing story, I think it’s the best place to see what people think of the events. I’ve spent several hours just seeing what other people liked, disliked, the jokes that have been made and the occasional shit-stirring and controversy which is sometimes funny to laugh at.

for the next video can you talk about all the anniversary event? maybe you can rank them or give you opinion about it i wanna know what you think about these anniversary event!

wait holdon Ducky-- SIEGFRIED actually is a narratively important event for the stupid saga since the whole thing is kicked off by someone related to the Cabal giving Siegfried's old bestie the dragon shit.

I'm a firm believer that things will eventually converge in a GBF anniversary event (coping that it's going to be next anni) with all of the set up similar to Home Sweet Moon with the Society gang. Hoping I'm wrong tho since I'm not too invested in the Dragon Knights story line.

I'm still upset that Mordred didn't turn out to be Ilsa's little bother.

I’ve finally caught up with this event series after having to wait for a The Strength to Wield rerun for like a year now. I think that the event series read better when you read them all at once since you can then tell when they’re setting things up, for example I was able to read The Strength to Wield and then immediately go and read the next two events before getting to read the new event. Honestly I really enjoy the storyline but I can tell the issues people have with it. I think the major issue people have is for how small of a conflict the Dragon Knights story really is, there’s so much set-up, mysteries and world building added to an originally very basic plot and not enough being concretely answered. Another issue is comparing the scale of the events to another long running and finished storyline in the Society storyline. It wasn’t locked to this one big island and had multiple set-up events before starting to get the plot truly started with Right Behind You, the stakes are also massive with Home Sweet Moon being a potential doomsday scenario for the entire GBF world. The stakes are so massive for this storyline that even the Main Story Quest has to acknowledge the existence of The Society. On the other hand the smaller scale of the Dragon Knights storyline I think can make some people resent the attention the storyline gets. Not helped by not knowing who the true villain is. Ignoring the first 5 events since Isabella is the original antagonist who is pretty handily defeated by the second event and Aglovale is a villain for one event, with the next two events having nothing really important happen. The Cabal seems to originally be set up as the villains but now they’re probably a Red Herring and Morgan might be the new main villain? It’s very flip-floppy and so while that’s great for making marketable reformed villains (I genuinely really like Aglovale’s writing). It isn’t good for keeping some readers invested since they’re just given more questions and not enough payoff. I actually think that the most recent event did plenty good in addressing a lot of questions and was just a good read in general. I really enjoyed it and loved a lot of the scenes with Vane and Arthur. I’m personally of the opinion that there might be another one or two events before they get an Anniversary event, hopefully with some appearances from the other Knight characters like Charlotta and Naoise, as well as maybe involving some Dragon associated characters like Stan and Naoise again. I think it’s way more likely we’re going to be having to wait a full year for another instalment in this series while Percival and Aglovale are MIA. At least this hopefully means that the April Fools event might not be Sanrio again since funnily enough it’s connected to To Each His Ideal. I think being a yearly story is also a bit of a blessing and a curse. On one hand you get yearly content with these super popular characters, on the other hand you’re expected to remember basically everything important that has happened since 2014. Strangely enough though despite there being so many entries in the Dragon Knights series compared to other events, I can remember them all while I can’t with a fan favourite event like 000: if you asked me to list off what happens to you I can only really remember a bunch of fights, some flashbacks, Beelzebub losing to Lucilius and the fight to seal him and like a bit of the ending where Lucifer and Sandalphon talk. I don’t know why that event was so forgettable to me but I’ll probably get around to rereading it one day.

Where is the crazy cabal mommy that tried to raise the dead

@8:57 As for Avalon, considering they said it was before the invasion of the Astrals, that means it was before 2,000 years ago from the plot of the main story, but a good time after the split of the Omnipotent which happened like 8,000 years ago iirc. So within that timezone. The Sky Realm still existed.

The answer: _Everybody hates Morgan._ 🎶 (lol)

I was fine with this event up to the point that Albert was made the new king. Bro really said "I may be literally dying as we speak but Otherworld take me I will make this 10 year old child king of an entire nation (in the middle of a war btw) before I leave it to a poor." Then they said that Chickadee dude was a homunculus the whole time (a decision im sure they 100% made all the way back in the first Chickadee event and isnt an insanely random retcon) and I promptly skipped the rest for my crystals.

Vane's boobs Vane's boobs

Vane my beloved

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'll make the hater video dw

i remember shao because im praying for an ssr version every day haha... nice video :^) im interested in the homoerotic dynamic of barawa and chat noir but was discouraged from reading the older stuff because i didnt know if theyd ever do anything with him again so the 5 star uncap is a nice glimmer of hope hooray

Reading Chat Noir’s Fates I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed them after the last Barawa event took its place as my personal least favourite Granblue event. Granted it makes sense because that event has no Chat Noir and was just a plan by Reinbach to kill off Barawa. The Fates felt cool since it showed a scenario that I always like to see, how the crew deals with the Captain being incapacitated, usually when that happens it’s a smaller event but this time you get the idea that a lot of the crew are involved here and I really like that. Plus the additions to Chat Noir’s characterisation and backstory is nice to see as well. I also liked how Chat Noir explains to Reinbach that this really does screw him over due to how many powerful people the Captain knows. I can’t believe I’m really saying this but I really hope that this is setting up another Detective Barawa event with hopefully a much bigger cast of the crew, I mean Catherine and Jamil make too much sense that not having them in the follow-up event sounds silly. I hear this all the time but didn’t Heinrich die at the end of Full Metal Man VII? I know he shares a title and VA but we’ve never had full on confirmation that it’s the same guy, I can’t recall a single line of dialogue that implies that they’re the same character either, I would love to be proven wrong here however.

God I can't believe Chat Noir is good.

I was def never going to learn more about Chat. I never got him from the gacha, and now he sits in Classic II jail, which I'll likely never pull on cuz I'm only missing 4 from there...
