Is this good Platinum or rush job Platinum?
-sigh- Terra Battle
Looks generic and plastic. This should stay away from the west.
But seriously, who are Cygames.
A Japanese mobile company that struck gold with Rage of Bahamut, ended up with way more money than they could spend. Bought out Hideo Hinaba's art studio and made them a subsidiary. Made Granblue Fantasy and struck more gold. Stole Akihiko Yoshida from Square Enix. Started an anime business studio. Started a high end dev studio in Osaka working on unannounced PS4 stuff. Still had too much money. So here we are today.
Platforms?
So out of all the games they announced is only one of them being made consoles and the rest mobile games?
Will we even get it?

Why can't this happen to Mistwalker?
They announced two console looking projects, two mobile titles, and a year long tv anime for Granblue starting in Jan.

You forgot the airship at TGS

Wonder if this will be a good Platinum Game or a bad one, which has already been mentioned several times.
Is it too late to get into Granblue Fantasia? How whale centric is it? (How much does real money play into the game).
Because Sakaguchi is a bad businessman?

Whoa, I only noticed now this has music from Nobuo Uematsu, this is awesome
As a Granblue fan since English update this is the best news to me.
I'll take bad Platinum Games anytime over any studio that isn't known for making action games
My only concern is the cast aside from the main characters
In the famitsu news. They said that they will try to put as many characters as possible
No Lady Grey, Clarisse, Narmaya and Vampy, no buy
Which brings me to the first post I made in this thread:
They should do a swap. Mistwalker can loan them some programmers while Cygames shares their business talent.
I still don't understand how GBF can run so terribly despite not being a graphics intensive game whatsoever. It chugs on my phone where games like VA or MFF don't.
looks like a platinum game with waifu art. not excited for the license. hopefully the game is hard and fun.
The graphics look amazing but this game looks pretty braindead. Those monsters barely even reacted.
I'm a sucker for full armored thin-sword Knights so I really like the MC there. Assuming that she is the main character.

Oh, so good Platinum, niiiiiiiceKenji Saito is working on this! Sweet!
Sounds like a good situation to be in.A Japanese mobile company that struck gold with Rage of Bahamut, ended up with way more money than they could spend.

I can see this game being developed for PC, but I hope they consider PS4 too.
They honestly shouldn't even bother with this without a Steam sku.A Japanese game develope only for PC? It will be on console, either PS4 or NX or both.

It's... different. Up till the beginning of this year I'd imagine the spending model was similar to many other gacha games, with the real whales making up the majority of profit.
Due to a controversy, they added a system where if you roll 300 times on a banner ($900 more or less) you could pick whatever you want off it, essentially capping the upper limit of spending per banner. Mind you, $900 is still a ridiculous figure, but we're talking relatives anyway and whales in f2p often drop far more than that on a casual friday night.
To answer the question you didn't ask, though, a lot of the game's power level progression comes from your weapon pool, which comes from a lot of grinding. Your character lineup can still make or break, but it's (believe it or not) secondary to your weapon pool. Add that to regular deals where you can essentially pay $30 for a 10-pull and choose a character of your choice (with many top ones listed) it's very possible to get a tricked out endgame team with nothing more than $90 across a few months.
Completely F2P? Really depends on your luck with rolls, albeit like I said, your weapon pool matters more and 95% of that comes from grinding. It's not called Grindblue Fantasy for nothing.
It's... an interesting business model subset out of the typical gacha, but I don't think it's quite practical unless you were already pulling in Granblue's numbers to begin with.
