I'm pretty sure Granblue Fantasy will be remembered over half the JRPGs on PS4 right now.
They're like fast food.
For every Granblue Fantasy, there's thousands of throwaway, mobile JRPG by Kemco. Think about it, if Cygames have the ability to make Granblue Fantasy a good that it is, think about what happens when they actually had the budget and resource to make a console, turn-based RPG. Now it can turn out underwhelming, but it's a chance i will take all day.

Granblue Fantasy is two years old, currently the fourth top-grossing app on the Japanese app store.
Takes a while to digest that fast food, apparently.

MC Donald is decades old. Still fastfood.

They're actually doing that though. Minus the turn-based part.

You need to figure out how you want your analogy to work lmao
You don't have to take it as some kind of personal attack on your taste or something.
Square Enix had no problems with him working on the Tactics Ogre remake.
Anything that serves the point: I want matsuno yoshida and sakimoto back at square 😂

The Granblue Fantasy spin-off, yeah. Combat looks fun, but c'mon, why not turn-based! I hope the other one is. :\
Seriously, no one is asking to like it. What form of entertainment you enjoy or don't enjoy really is up to you.
But just because you don't like something doesn't automatically mean it's not popular, or automatically popular for the wrong reasons.

In that case, the stakes aren't going to be high enough for them to worry that much about his involvement. Wasn't he not the director for the remake, either?
You have to admit that Squenix wouldn't be looking to get him back for a mainline FF anytime soon, even if he wanted to have another go at it.
To be honest I said in reply to someone saying these staff members were wasted that I agree with him. Great artists such them are better honored and remembered with their names sticked to ambitious project for their times like fft and vagrant.
And you're still not getting it. Granblue was/is far more ambitious than half the JRPGs on PS4 right now. Exactly what I said in reply to you right at the start.
Yeah I was about to say. Nothing about Granblue was proven at the time, and now it's lighting the world(or japan idk) on fire. Wanting to be apart of that is like the definition of the word ambitious lol.
What about Shadowverse though?
To be a little more accurate Granblue when it launched WAS ambitious, because it was coming off the success of Rage of Bahamut. It definitely grew a couple orders of magnitude in the intervening two years, but despite being a web-based piece of software it did a lot of things design-wise right off the bat that were pretty ballsy.
I think history is somewhat being repeated here with Lost Order being announced/developed off the success of Granblue, just as Granblue rode on the success of RoB.

edit: world vs japan, I'd say right now it's still pretty much majorly Japan-based in its success. Sure, it has a very dedicated (yet niche) international following, but the barrier to entry, while a lot lower with an integrated English localization, is still there in terms of monetization, storefront exposure, etc.
Is Granblue available outside of Japan? Can't find anything on App Store or Wikipedia.

Why can't they make this for real consoles? sigh

I think this is the ps4 game. Sorry i can't make a tread yet.
Can you further clarify here friend? I'm very interested to see an ambitious reply!~

I think the feeling is largely mutual. Matsuno doesn't want to work on large scale productions anymore, and Square Enix would never want him in charge of a large scale production again!
I'm not familiar with the specific history. I just think a lot of the mobage cynicism is in a reaction to its success in hindsight, rather than coming from a more objective assessment of its game design and the circumstances it was developed and released in.

Edit:
Thanks Merun.But i placed it here because i can't make thread for it. And i just read the thread of salarno. Sorry
Matsuno + Yoshida, what could go wrong?
Not happy about the platform of course, but what matter most is the monetisation approach.
I gave up on Valkyrie Anatomia because of the shitty balancing, so I'm pretty sure I could give up on this one too.
Full teams are not dedicated to each project. A producer here, other staff there.This is getting ridiculous. How can platinum have so many active projects at the same time?
What about it?
Another game by Cygames is Knights of Glory (Mobage, 2013), that has exactly the same art direction style as Final Fantasy Tactics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euU9e0VZTdc
It's a browser game. It makes me sad to see Yoshida's art wasted on these cash grabs, but at least it helps to keep expectations low.
It almost certaily never will. Even with this pseudo-english release they still had trouble getting the latest tales crossover in english. If it was to come to the west officially it'd most likely be a stripped down versiom with next to no collabs on its own server where it won't self-sustain and shut down in a year. Once tou get past registration the game is practically no different than an official english release so there's no reason to hold back trying it out.Granblue still not having a traditional English release is puzzling. I might have to check it out though...
