Granblue Fantasy: Relink in development with same number of staff as when co-developed by Platinum

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new information on Granblue Fantasy: Relink following news in February that Platinum Games is no longer involved in the development of the action RPG.

Here are the tidbits:
--Granblue Fantasy: Relink is currently in development at Cygames Osaka.
--When Cygames Osaka first took over, development speed temporarily decreased, but now Cygames Osaka alone has secured a development system with the same number of staff that it had when the game was being co-developed by Platinum Games.
--As the number of development staff will continue to increase, development speed is expected to further increase.
--Cygames is confident players will enjoy the game, and asks that everyone please look forward to it.

I wonder if it’ll retain the same level of excitement

I’m still down for the game even with the development change

Not really a development change, they worked in collaboration with Platinum but the main grunt work was always handled by Cygames. My guess is they just hired them to do the combat system and when they were done with it they left.
