Don't Sleep on Granblue Fantasy: Relink!!

[@Juice8767]

I’m glad to see someone talking about this. I looked it up just to see if anybody has recently lol. It’s my game of the year easy and I feel like it got brushed over pretty quick by the gamer crowd. It’s been a peeve of mine for a while but when it came out people were talking down on it because the campaign was “only 10-12 hours” but those hours are jammed with nonstop magic, adventure and visual candy. No padding or played out drama, just a fun as hell game.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

My thoughts exactly! It’s just such a joy to play. I easily have 70 hours in from doing the postgame quests, replaying the main story, or just trying to grind some quests for the rewards to level up weapons.

[@joshukethehokage8333]

Yeah I agree I feel like this game got over looked this year I never heard of Granblue Fantasy until this year but I loved this game

[@ITS-A-ME-xx8tq]

I love Granblue fantasy games alot, i’m a huge fan of Granblue fantasy And playing this game was A HUGE BLAST DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE RPG GAME EVER, Only 2 problems thats very annoying to deal with which can make u hate the game alot, The bosses are OP ASF, Its takes so long to beat them and they always take u out with one hit, Its very frustrating dealing with that, Its still my favorite rpg game and i think dealing with all that makes this game one of the hardest rpg game out there.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

There were a couple that had me stuck for sure!!

[@ITS-A-ME-xx8tq]

@@Cognitive-ClipsWell for me i’m still stuck at PYET-A that boss fight is very annoying to deal with, i try to do online but online is dead

[@UgyBoogie]

The game was incredibly breathtaking for me. I'm 31 and have been gaming all my life. I wasn't familiar with the Granblue franchise at all before playing this. I've NEVER had a feeling like entering the first town for the first time. I've legit been walking around for 20 or so minutes just in awe of the atmosphere, details, and quality. The game is oozing with love from the creators.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@UgyBoogie This is also my first Granblue franchise entry! It truly is a stunner!

[@dspellcaster1027]

800 hours. My first Platinum on playstation. I love this game, the fact this didnt get a nomination is so sad.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@dspellcaster1027 oh wow! Congrats on the platinum! Definitely wish it had been nominated

[@joshukethehokage8333]

For real

[@TaniKamen]

Cool video 🖤 glad it came up on my recommended. Ive definitely wanted to try this game but never really had the chance to. Gonna pick this up and play with a friend, hopefully soon.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Appreciate the kind words! If memory serves there’s still a free demo as well that I thought gave a very good snapshot of what to expect

[@letmetellyouabouttheconsti139]

I cant believe you dont have more subs man.. this video is pretty good 👍

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Well thank you!! I appreciate it!

[@LucasAugustodaSilva-t6g]

Over one thousand hours. It takes a while to 100% the game (aside from the Platinum Trophy). Definitely my GOTY.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@LucasAugustodaSilva-t6g That’s some true dedication, Skyfarer 🫡

[@carlintaylor2996]

Just ordered from Amazon 2 days ago and showed up literally yesterday the day after I ordered it did the prologue and the first 2 chapters yesterday herad all the good quest are unlocked after you beat the main story the versus game was great hoping this one will be just as fun 😊❤❤

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@carlintaylor2996 Hope you enjoy!!

[@carlintaylor2996]

@@Cognitive-Clips yes I'm enjoying so far most likely about to wrap up 2024 with this one next to fate samurai remnant and sparking zero this is one of my favorites so far without a doubt

[@ZFCaio]

I picked up at launch, great game

[@vvolfflovv]

After almost platting Visions of Mana, I'm craving more. I kind of forgot about this game but it looks like it might be just what i need to fill my visions of mana void.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@vvolfflovv I’m only basing this off the Visions demo, but when I played it, one of my first thoughts was “This combat doesn’t feel as good as Granblue” 😅 even if you don’t agree on that point, I do hope it can fill that void for ya!

[@rjproduction486]

Narmaya is the BEST GIRL/WAIFU! I can't stop playing the endgame of this game! originally my plan is to only play 60 hours and I will play next. Metaphor Re Fantazio. But the eng game loop for grinding weapons and sigil to max out your favorite character is so addicting!

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@rjproduction486 I think I’m level 98 now with the Captain?? It definitely is a grind but like you said, it’s such a fun loop!

[@AnotherCamilo]

I'm 90 hours into this game and I still have a lot more time left. It's fun, challenging, the bosses are insane, the art direction is wonderful and it has a kick ass soundtrack. It would be a total waste if Cygames didn't update this game anymore, because I would gladly pay for some DLC. What makes me sad is that it had a very bad release date, because it was overshadowed by other games, even by the Suicide Squad game that people and the media prefered to spend their time trashing on it instead of playing something war better, like THIS GAME: Granblue Fantasy Relink. Do people really enjoy video games?

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@AnotherCamilo Definitely got overshadowed by other releases 😩

[@DaveTheeMan-wj2nk]

Story is extremely short and basically has no story at all. Honestly you're literally just playing a mobile game. For people who like to grind endlessly you'll love this game. If anyone is trying to convince you that you'll be going into an excellent narrative with an epic tale and great character development with an amazing story you will be horrendously disappointed. Ain't no way I would spend $60 on this. Maybe 15. It's literally a game for people who like to grind endlessly and continue to build their characters endlessly. That's really the truth

[@paledrake]

My only and biggest issue with relink is that it's basically an instanced story in a much grander adventure and you'll just be a big ? dragged along unless you've played the gacha game that started it all. It's basically a gameplay-first game with random characters.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@paledrake Totally fair. I personally thought the Fate Episodes did a good job catching me up to speed on who everyone was and all that, but anyone who didn’t wanna go down all those rabbit holes could definitely be a bit confused by things haha

[@samuelcarlson1012]

Love this game, but grinding the terminus weapons was a nightmare

[@Cognitive-Clips]

I haven’t unlocked a single Ascension weapon’s abilities 😭haha it is quite the grind. BUT, any time i do decide to jump back in, it’s still a blast even after 75+ hours

[@Mxssiah.]

I really hope they keep updating this game. They have their show coming up in december so there may be news.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Ooh I hadn’t heard about that - I’ll keep an eye out for sure!

[@Mxssiah.]

@@Cognitive-Clips Yea, there is gonna be a granblue fantasy fest on december 21st and 22nd

[@ancova1183]

Definitely on my list, but I'm not a fan of subscribing in order to play multiplayer. I can't really imagine what the endgame would be like without it.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@ancova1183 I personally have like 65 hours under my belt but I only did enough multiplayer stuff to unlock the last crewmate! So at least for me, there was tons of fun to be had even without diving too much into multiplayer

[@ReadyPlayerPoet]

Nice

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Pshh, YOU’RE nice

[@ExtraHecticana]

I have tried a few times to get into it... but the gameplay loop just isn't for me. It's kinda weird

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Hey, nothing wrong with moving on to something else if a game isn’t up your alley!

[@unskillfullymasterful]

i think they let people sleep on the game themselves by refusing to release it global . in that sense i think the IP is quite niche

[@Cognitive-Clips]

Can't argue that it's niche! I only recognized the IP because I'd heard of the fighting games. I think it was smart of them to release a demo before launch for new people like me, as well as people who may have only been familiar with the Versus games.

[@alexanderpushkin9160]

This game is amazing but endgame is way too grindy.

[@Mustar1989]

The game was amazing to play but endgame build diversity was completely ruined by game mechanics :(

[@DGS13th]

I mean you can say that to a sub par Monster Hunter clone. As someone who played this, Rising and still playing the original this game is one where it was put too long in the oven. Especially when the gameplay ended up the way it is after them wasting time and money having contracted Platinum to make a build only for the Relink team to throw it away. Story for one ends up feeling like it doesn't amount to anything or will lead to something significant compared to the actual main story or events in original. Gameplay feels lackluster and without depth only having to relying on sigils end game to actually grind or clear the content of it. I'm not saying I hate the game but I do feel very disappoInted that it ended up the way it did after years waiting for it to come out. At this point if you or anyone wanted to invest more into the series and know about the world, lore and characters of the game further you're better off playing the original since evrrything about it along with the characters you can see easily in the main story or the side stories right off the bat without the need to grind anything out. Plus you can play on your PC browser without the need of using your phone in the first place.

[@owenjurk3]

not really sure how you can say that when the mobage is just as reliant on stats from grinding sphere grids and weaponskills, not to mention the gacha element. i love rising and the mobage but characters like io play nothing like vane which plays nothing like siegfried or zeta. The sigil system isnt great but if they tweak a few things a sequel would be perfect. and ik people play things for the story but the story was short and sweet and didnt overstay its welcome, which i appreciate when the devs know where most of the fun lies.

[@PuchimonExtreme]

Too late. I think the game is dead now.

[@Cognitive-Clips]

@@PuchimonExtreme Idk about the multiplayer situation but there’s still a dedicated single player story, which is more than worth it in my book!
