Today Cygames shared when you will hear more about the upcoming action JRPG Granblue Fantasy Relink for PlayStation 4 and showcased some interesting art.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "In a time where microtransactions mean pay-to-win and replace any free updates, Granblue Fantasy: Relink presents the best of both worlds."
WTMG's Fernando da Costa: "Granblue Fantasy Relink was not only well worth the wait, but it blew my expectations clear out of the water. If I’m honest, I anticipated a JRPG that was a bit above average but wouldn’t really be a blip in a Game of the Year discussion. Well, shut my mouth because, while it does tell the traditional tale of preventing the apocalypse, it handles it exceptionally. It isn’t flawless, but the missteps that it does have are far from catastrophic. In fact, two minor tweaks could easily propel this title into the company of an elite bunch. What has me really ecstatic, though, is by the end, the room is left for a sequel. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have beasts to kill."
“ The story is best described as a warm cup of hot chocolate that Mother made on a frigid, cold night. It’s a classic take on the fantastical, bathing in tropes and cliches. A little-known tidbit about me is that my favorite childhood JRPGs are both Lunar: Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue. I adore them, so when a game reminds me of the majesty and feeling I had when playing those, it’s a wrap”
Nuff said.
The Atlus RPG is the first PlayStation 5 title in eight months to take the top of the sales charts.
damn that's a long wait
After the gameplay reveal I was really REALLY excited for this game until I looked into a bit more. Sounds like there are far too many characters to have any real overarching plots for the characters or any real character development in the game ala old FF games (FFVII/ VIII/ IX, god they were so good and I crave a game made with as much care again....)
I just have a fear it will be a bit soulless instead of full of heart and passion. Kind of like one of those designed by committee games instead of being created by a small group of artists. Really hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling I’m right.
Also the last update in regards to platinum did NOT sound promising...
