I'm sure there's more than what's on top of my head, but of recent fighting games, Granblue was easily the one that deserved a second chance since it was only ruined thanks to COVID & no rollback. Glad to see a do-over and hope this gets the popularity it deserves
I have my problems with GBVS but it’s still a game I really love. I just hope it doesn’t lose its identity as a grounded game with arcsys mechanics. If the added mechanics make the game play more like Guilty Gear or DNF that would be a disappointment.
I didn't know I wanted online lobby shenanigans in fighting games until now. That Fall Guys thing legit looks like something fun to do when you just wanna wind down after some matches.
Ya I remember he was really enjoying it then his hype tanked online. I was complaining a lot about the online and just couldn't play. I think he would like some of the additions and changes they made to gameplay as well.
Another cool thing about Granblue is that it does one thinbg Max praises about NRS games and SF6: it has good single player content. Again, not SUPER great, but the RPG mode is pretty extensive and fun, and kept me hooked much more than I thought it would when I got it on a sale and wanted to play it to unlock a silly pair of glasses for Belial. It's pretty cool that it is being expanded, too.
Honestly I think that this is definitely ArcSys's biggest games ever, at least content wise. Having literally both the original and new story modes, meaning ever more big rpg almost beat-em up content with new bosses, rollback and crossplay both being available at launch, and you have a whole extra Fall Guys mode with the lobbies, I think this along with SF6 are gonna be easily some of the best values you're going to find with fighting games going forward. Definitely gonna try and finish the story mode in the original game since it was on PS Plus in September and play some online matches so that way I'm primed to dive into Rising
@UCWgpzxiFN-rpdO5rUB9c8JQ i like to think it’s something extra to do while you wait for rounds to finish, like say you are in a long queue of people waiting to face off against the host or if you want a change of pace. As long as they don’t overemphasis it; I don’t see the harm in them adding something like this, even if I don’t see that many people using it.
@@nightwolf9375 It's really the only reason i play the game. Online is always trash but GranBlue Fantasy Versus's RPG mode is like, the *real* game inside the game! It's amazing that this wasn't publicized more, maybe because sure, it has some issues (like getting auto mixed up in fights with like eight guys but who cares? You can have fights with like, EIGHT guys!) xD
@@nightwolf9375 The problem with today's fighting games is that they keep persistently treating single player content like an after thought, cause they assume everyone in the world wants to compete at tournaments and pvp the planet. For a good number of people, single player content IS the game, which is something I believe SF6 is getting EXTREMELY right. Old games like the old Soul Caliburs also did this and this was why we bought those games
After SC6 and that RPG mode in GBVS etc...finally they starting to realizing how its fun to have more contents than only fighting game focus, SFV was the biggest mistake for that reason...
Naah, not really. Mortal Kombat used to have that in the PS2 days and it was not groundbreaking or anything. The step forward is a well elaborate story mode (yet again, MK was the one who introduced the idea). A "avatar" mode like the one in development for SF6 with mini-games and etc... idk, doesn't look too much appealing to me. Also it will not be balanced, people will just pay to win online (like the infamous NBA 2K series)
I'd rather DNF had a more true-to-source beat-'em-up mode like Tekken Force or GG Isuka's Boost Mode with character progression or something, but I'd be plenty fine with a simpler RPG mode like Granblue's.
Please don't call it sequel - it's not... At most it's another 1.x version (as in, new content and story but too many reused assets to call it a proper new entry).
This announcement made me boot up the game and I just labbed out setups for like 3 hours. It‘s insane what dev support can do for existing games and I‘m really excited for this
@@GervasiusMC i thought the same thing, and Vikala is most popular character among all Zodiac characters even all characters from the mobile game itself, so I wouldn't be surprised if Vikala will be the new character in GBVS Rising
Everyone's here. All of the Arcsys fighters finally getting the netcode and the shine they deserve. What an awesome happenstance. I don't think there's anything that invigorates me more than seeing a fighting game continue drawing breath.
I’m really digging the special effects and camera zoom-ins in this game (hit, tactical rush, ex-moves). I wish they could add stage variations just like GG Xrd and Blazblue.
I’m so happy to see this, I’ve always wanted to play gb and even when it came to ps plus I never fully got into it because of the net code and the fact that there wasn’t much of a fanbase left. I really hope this reinvigorates the game and makes it become one of the best.
New Characters splash + Belial's weird reaction: I guess it's a character strongly related to him so either Lucilius, Lucifer or Sandalphon? I mean, going by the Chapter 0 in RPG Mode, EVERYTHING that happened in this game was because Belial just wanted to bang with Lucilius once more. Seofon or Aliza would also make me happy (one is a chill sword-maniac with typical "many many sword attack" and other is your standard martial artist shortie - think Jam but built like Narmaya).
@Choco rroles This. Its surely Lucillius. He serves him after all and it looked like he was smiling. He wouldn't have that grin on his face if it was Sandy or Lucifer.
Can we acknowledge the fact that they have been keeping this underwraps from us and there was not a rumor or speculation. We all had zero expectation this was gonna happen. They totally were listening to us.
I played this game like crazy when it came out. Really loved playing and watching Max. Play it the game just lacked the right amount of oomfh and came out at a bad time. Excited to get back into it
Really wish Blazblue Cross Tag battle got something like this. Always felt the support for that game died too early. Oh well, happy for Granblue fans. Haven’t played the game myself but hopefully the game will be reinvigorated by this update.
So given the new stage, a new character will most likely be one of the Zodiac characters. Fun fact, they all have numerouse references to SNK characters, my favorite being one of them straight up doing Terry Bogard's Buster Wolf.
GBVS is getting the second chance it DESERVES! This game faced unsavory odds... Covid and bad netcode, but it's lit for fighting games in 2023! Rollback Netcode! And new characters, stages, music, mechanics, moves and more. I'm happy because this game is TRULY a gem. Arc System Works put a lot of love into this game. Also, Gran has turned Super Saiyan Blue, lol.
@@MetaGamingDojo This game had to be built from ground up so implementation of rollback and crossplay would have been possible. I think all that work deserves payoff and In my eyes, since it also gets new stages, characters, story, actions and visual update, it's a whole new game imo (literally too because of the first point)
Yeah just to reiterate (no one will probably read this), the snowy map teaser is the shrines of the Divine Generals, each of which represents an animal from the Chinese Zodiac. In game, the dog chick is named Vajra, who has a dog pet Garjana that she tag teams with her trusty katana to strike multiple times a turn The monkey girl Andira is a young and spry girl version of Sun Goku: Elongating staff, Aura/Ki Powers, Nimbus Cloud, you name it. Very versatile character There's 6 other Divine Generals currently in Granblue Fantasy but the two above are the ones he mentioned in the stream
yes! another W for Arc System and FGC, keep the producing good quality product with FUN as its core selling point. Hoping this does well and get the spotlight it deserves.
Oh nice! I hope it’s successful this time! I got the first game on discount, and although it had its problems, it was fun! And yeah, NO Rollback Netcode was 50% of its main problems!
GBVS is definitely my fave fighter in ages. As someone who doesn't tryhard them anymore it's so good to pick-up and play for quick arcade and has MEATY single player content. Also it made me excited for Relink!
All fighting games need to be on all systems and have cross play because their so niche, and finally, every fighting game needs roll back net code that's just a given in this day and age. So I'm glad we're finally seeing that happen to all of our favorite games. I hope we get to see more new features added to fighting games that we haven't seen yet. I think there is still a lot of room for innovation for fighting games, and I'm very excited to see what's next for the genre.
I'm suuuuuppppperr down, never thought I'd see the day. the only reason I stopped playing is because waiting 10 minutes in ranked queue just to get the same guy as 20 minutes ago with a 2 bar delay based connection was too much. still put 100 hours in when it came out, hype to put another 100 if I can actually play and it lives up to what they've said
Also dont miss everyone "Granblue Fantasy Relink" new trailer and info at official "Granblue Fantasy Festival Day 1" live streaming. hideo Minaba (art director of FF9, FF12, FF Tactics, Lost Odyssey etc...) Music Composer: Nobuo Uematsu & Narita (FFX)
I never would have expected Grand blue to basically get a sequel especially before fighterz, I hope Max tries to come back to this after the rollback gets added. I can't wait to get some new characters finally Edit: so the new Lobby, one thing I hate about fighting games these days is there's close to nothing to do, they gave you a story mode, maybe an arcade mode with no endings, and then online. Yeah you still need online to do it obviously but this looks crazy fun and silly
Imma be honest, at no point did I ever have "Fighting Game with Fall Guys sub-mode" on my Bingo Card. It's cool, don't get me wrong, it's just one of those hilariously out of left field things that you would never even consider being a real thing. It'd be like if they shoved Mario into an XCOM style turn based SRPG with some obnoxious mascot characters that nobody actually likes.
Hmm......... new character at the reveal might be Vikala. Or Anla, the defacto leader of the Zodiacs. Or could just be a coincidence of two things lining up. 1) Usually, we get Zodiac uncaps near the end of this month, and this year, we were supposed to get it for Vikala, but they've pushed it back to next month. Could just be a coincidence because we were already planned on getting uncaps for some collab characters this month. 2) The 2/25 date for the tournament reveal is pretty is close to what we would have gotten if it was a January release, like last week of the month.
@@nrolling7192 even before there was a lot of games that was missing minigames especially SFV and the only few games that was still having more contents like SC6 was still ignored because people are obsessed with "trendy games". SNK returned after many years and they obviously still lack of budget for now but they are doing the best and they was showing more passion than other developers. KOF lack of minigames but still give that nostalgic "i make what i want for me and fans", i feel that other devs got some influence from them instead to focus on trendy modern direction. SNK deserve more support UwU
@@skyuru I agree, I'm just glad is finally becoming Standard even tho the Indy games won't be able to afford to put in that much content but as long as their gameplay is great it should be fine
The shrine seems the hint for divine general(Zodiac characters) for zodiac popularity I think it's Vicky the Rat Zodiac. In case of over all popularity that would be Sandalphon.
I feel like they weren’t ABLE to get Crossplay until Strive because Sony/PlayStation had requirements they didn’t meet until Strive became a booming success. So now that the relationship has been established, they’re able to implement this into every new game they put out. Same goes for Microsoft/Xbox and Nintendo, they needed to establish the relationship first and they didn’t get to until last year or year before that.
Well I guess I'm glad that I waited before making a purchase on this! This was in my Steam Wishlist for a while but I took it off because of all the DLC and the lack of rollback. Glad they're upping the game! It was a decent story, in my view, from the little that I saw! I'll be picking this up! 😊
@@nyarancia If there are demands, they will deliver a Xbox version. Cygames do be like that There are many times the fans voiced their opinion about somethingand Cygames immediately put it in the motion within a hour
@@nyarancia Thats because they know that majority of anime enjoyers are on Playstation and not Xbox Again, priority and profits Heck, I saw a comment here that shitting on Granblue for being anime and claiming to be an Xbox elitist
the new characters are a Zodiac General (likely Vikala) and Lucilius. Those are who were being hinted at in the trailer but yeah you only notice if you play the original Gbf
From the stage, there will be a Zodiac on the roster, most probably Kumbhira, however Vikala is the one with the most popularity on the surveys. The Fall Guys thing represents the 4-panel comedy manga full of jokes and silly things, do not take them seriously. They often appear on April Fools jokes, Chibi related things and joke gimmicks like this one.
It's dog or monkey but the sheep actually was the one who got the highest score but they could pull an upset and go for the Viera crowd and give us rabbit.
The stage is 100% for a zodiac character, but that could be eight (technically nine since "one" of them is a pair) different characters. My money is on Vikala due to how popular she is, though.
If the add Feather from GBF Max will have his character For those who don't know he's literally GBF Rock Howard and It's not even an exaggeration, he's literally just Rock
it definitely looks like they upgraded the effects animations and camera angles to make it way more cooler or maybe that's just trailer magic ((as far as camera is concerned). Cool upgrade. Also fuck yeah the cabinets are back !!
Granblue is what got me back into fighters since I stopped playing Street Fighter 5 season 1. I was really disappointed that this game didn't have rollback but still had a dedicated community. Glad it's coming back and I'm definitely going to jump back into it. Plus titboxes!!
Huh. Didn't know _GranBlue Fantasy_ was getting/had a Fighting game. I only knew of _GranBlue Fantasy_ as a Fantasy JRPG on Mobile that had a bunch of crazy crossovers ( _Final Fantasy_ _Street Fighter_ _Attack on Titan_ & even _Code Geass_ )
I played the game when it was a psplus subscription monthly reward. I scored the dragon Ball fighterz at 4/5 and the Granblue versus at 3/5. I played only the campaign but for a player to complete the campaign needs to buy the dlcs so unlock the ability to unlock the level cup at weapons.
i really hope that will revive the game, the serie GB mean a lot for me and i would like to see more people on this game , so excited for the news character and the cross-play, we finally enter an era were all fighting game brcome cross play !
They adding new story after the main story but also they remove the level up and farming items stuff since it was too difficulty (but i prefer a switchable mode honestly for old and new) And save data could be transfer.
Siegfried did do really well in the Character request poll last year, so the chance of him getting in are extremely high. He's also been featured heavily in the ReLink marketing. I just hope that if he does get in we won't forget about Vane...
the char reveal is probably sandalphon tbh. i think rising will launch with like 4 more chars or smth. so im assuming sandalphon, 1 zodiac because of the stage, maybe a six dragon or an evoker and vane or siegfried.
@@zakki9491 I'm trying to not get my hopes up for Sandalphon(he's my favorite GB Character), I can't handle the blow to my heart if it's not him tho. Since the story is WMTSB3 I would hope Sandy could make an appearance.
I love how Max knows that the Chat is the "Granblue Scientists" granted it will be specific members who will remember the details that will make Granblue a smash hit possibility!
I believe the new character will be showcased or at least announced at the February CyGames Cup. They like to use those to show different things like that usually.
Damn it looks so good, Arcsystem is on another level regarding this "fake" cell shading, 3D models looking like this is just crazy. If you think about other examples in the industry, you can say Rockstar is on a higher level regarding physiques in general, but it's not a huge difference if compared to others... now Arcystem is far beyond anyone else and they achieved this quality with a double A budget, it's really impressive
Charlotta has this... Leo Whitefang vibe but she *Smol* , with all these shortie arquetypes while being unga bunga, not a 100% Dood character but works while that one character he's maining shows up (Unless yeah, Narumeya being a smol Baiken-ish character)
I wasn't 100 percent sold on the base game but it did have some charm. Hearing that there will be crossplay, lower chance of slowdown online, AND a new story with the filled roster, I'm interested. I might just redownload the original Granblue just to get used to playing again.
This return is going to be GLORIOUS. They know how to do it, guys. We've been telling them what we want or what it should be the first one. So hopes are high right now and thankfully we just have to wait for late 2023
crossplay and rollback was expected. I feel the want for crossplay in GG Strive and the eventual successful implementation of it made the arksys devs pretty adept at adapting that backend work to other games. For newer games, I expect they should be standard now. which tbh is such an awesome thing
A friend brought that to my attention and honestly, I might pick up this newer version if only to further keep my hype of Relink and to fight my friend in it that will more then likely get updates.
So glad i bought GBVS on november 2022. Been trying it out and the game is awesome. Its a shame i coulndt play with anyone online, but now the game will be populated again. Hope the upgrade is not that expensive!
i have been waiting...day 1 i got a Metera keychain and styled my fightstick with her colors...only for covid to hit and locals became nonexistent.... I am ready to play again. gran/djeeta and metera were so fun to play with
I'm glad for how niche this game seems. It keeps getting updates, characters, mechanics. Like I'm always surprised by the amount of support it gets. Absolutely love it
i think the base game is Free? It sure was on PS Plus awhile ago and i'm not sure if it's only Premium and Extra subscribers but i can download it (it's not streamed thank god) for free. (i have the free one already, i'm just sayin' you SHOULD be able to pick it up no sweat!) :D
Wait for Rising. It's a new game with everything in the old one in it. Pretty sure there won't be an upgrade DLC for it too, since it's that different.
2023 for fighting games is gonna rock, and I'm not into fighting games I haven't been since the PS2 era. But survival horror is also coming back with hopefully Dead Space Remake, I can't say the Collisto Protocol because that really disappointed me
I'm sure there's more than what's on top of my head, but of recent fighting games, Granblue was easily the one that deserved a second chance since it was only ruined thanks to COVID & no rollback. Glad to see a do-over and hope this gets the popularity it deserves
Samsho tho.
I thought the game was b4 covid?
@@SpikeTheWolf released like the month before covid hit :((
This and Samsho getting rollback is like the biggest redemption arc ever. Those two games deserved much more than what they got.

I'm suuuuuppppperr down, never thought I'd see the day. the only reason I stopped playing is because waiting 10 minutes in ranked queue just to get the same guy as 20 minutes ago with a 2 bar delay based connection was too much. still put 100 hours in when it came out, hype to put another 100 if I can actually play and it lives up to what they've said
Super happy to see more games getting cross play! :D
Also dont miss everyone "Granblue Fantasy Relink" new trailer and info at official "Granblue Fantasy Festival Day 1" live streaming.

I never would have expected Grand blue to basically get a sequel especially before fighterz, I hope Max tries to come back to this after the rollback gets added. I can't wait to get some new characters finally
Edit: so the new Lobby, one thing I hate about fighting games these days is there's close to nothing to do, they gave you a story mode, maybe an arcade mode with no endings, and then online.
Yeah you still need online to do it obviously but this looks crazy fun and silly
Imma be honest, at no point did I ever have "Fighting Game with Fall Guys sub-mode" on my Bingo Card.
It's cool, don't get me wrong, it's just one of those hilariously out of left field things that you would never even consider being a real thing. It'd be like if they shoved Mario into an XCOM style turn based SRPG with some obnoxious mascot characters that nobody actually likes.
Isn't it just an update
@@Piccolololmao it's like what rev is to ggxrd.
Hmm......... new character at the reveal might be Vikala. Or Anla, the defacto leader of the Zodiacs. Or could just be a coincidence of two things lining up.
1) Usually, we get Zodiac uncaps near the end of this month, and this year, we were supposed to get it for Vikala, but they've pushed it back to next month. Could just be a coincidence because we were already planned on getting uncaps for some collab characters this month.
2) The 2/25 date for the tournament reveal is pretty is close to what we would have gotten if it was a January release, like last week of the month.
The best thing is that Granblue and SF6 are helping make Rollback and Crossplay Standard along with Mini games and features 🌊
Dont forget KOF15 w
@@skyuru yeah but the only thing KOF is lacking is mini games
@@nrolling7192 even before there was a lot of games that was missing minigames especially SFV and the only few games that was still having more contents like SC6 was still ignored because people are obsessed with "trendy games".
SNK returned after many years and they obviously still lack of budget for now but they are doing the best and they was showing more passion than other developers.
KOF lack of minigames but still give that nostalgic "i make what i want for me and fans", i feel that other devs got some influence from them instead to focus on trendy modern direction.
SNK deserve more support UwU
@@skyuru I agree, I'm just glad is finally becoming Standard even tho the Indy games won't be able to afford to put in that much content but as long as their gameplay is great it should be fine
I’m honestly glad it’s getting a second chance at life. I’ve staved off vanilla because of of its issues, chief among them was lack of rollback
The shrine seems the hint for divine general(Zodiac characters) for zodiac popularity I think it's Vicky the Rat Zodiac.
In case of over all popularity that would be Sandalphon.
I feel like they weren’t ABLE to get Crossplay until Strive because Sony/PlayStation had requirements they didn’t meet until Strive became a booming success. So now that the relationship has been established, they’re able to implement this into every new game they put out. Same goes for Microsoft/Xbox and Nintendo, they needed to establish the relationship first and they didn’t get to until last year or year before that.
I'm hoping we'll get Shadowverse characters too. I want to piece people up as vampire Akuma.
Well I guess I'm glad that I waited before making a purchase on this! This was in my Steam Wishlist for a while but I took it off because of all the DLC and the lack of rollback. Glad they're upping the game! It was a decent story, in my view, from the little that I saw! I'll be picking this up! 😊
It’s unfortunate that Xbox is still being left in the cold, but at least we got literally everything else we asked for (rollback & cross-play).
@@nyarancia Japanese don't really care about Xbox.
@@nyarancia GVS probably didn't sell well on xbox.
@@nyarancia If there are demands, they will deliver a Xbox version. Cygames do be like that
There are many times the fans voiced their opinion about somethingand Cygames immediately put it in the motion within a hour
@@nyarancia Cygames is a company, they gonna focus on profits
@@nyarancia Thats because they know that majority of anime enjoyers are on Playstation and not Xbox
Again, priority and profits
Heck, I saw a comment here that shitting on Granblue for being anime and claiming to be an Xbox elitist
the new characters are a Zodiac General (likely Vikala) and Lucilius. Those are who were being hinted at in the trailer but yeah you only notice if you play the original Gbf
From the stage, there will be a Zodiac on the roster, most probably Kumbhira, however Vikala is the one with the most popularity on the surveys.
The Fall Guys thing represents the 4-panel comedy manga full of jokes and silly things, do not take them seriously. They often appear on April Fools jokes, Chibi related things and joke gimmicks like this one.
It's dog or monkey but the sheep actually was the one who got the highest score but they could pull an upset and go for the Viera crowd and give us rabbit.
The stage is 100% for a zodiac character, but that could be eight (technically nine since "one" of them is a pair) different characters. My money is on Vikala due to how popular she is, though.
for the record, this is a sequel, not an update. every character returns and save data carries over.
I love Granblue one of my covid games, but just cut short for whatever reason, im glad that this one is making an update comeback
If the add Feather from GBF Max will have his character
For those who don't know he's literally GBF Rock Howard and It's not even an exaggeration, he's literally just Rock
it definitely looks like they upgraded the effects animations and camera angles to make it way more cooler or maybe that's just trailer magic ((as far as camera is concerned). Cool upgrade. Also fuck yeah the cabinets are back !!
Granblue is what got me back into fighters since I stopped playing Street Fighter 5 season 1. I was really disappointed that this game didn't have rollback but still had a dedicated community. Glad it's coming back and I'm definitely going to jump back into it. Plus titboxes!!
Huh. Didn't know _GranBlue Fantasy_ was getting/had a Fighting game. I only knew of _GranBlue Fantasy_ as a Fantasy JRPG on Mobile that had a bunch of crazy crossovers ( _Final Fantasy_ _Street Fighter_ _Attack on Titan_ & even _Code Geass_ )
I played the game when it was a psplus subscription monthly reward. I scored the dragon Ball fighterz at 4/5 and the Granblue versus at 3/5.
I played only the campaign but for a player to complete the campaign needs to buy the dlcs so unlock the ability to unlock the level cup at weapons.
i really hope that will revive the game, the serie GB mean a lot for me and i would like to see more people on this game , so excited for the news character and the cross-play, we finally enter an era were all fighting game brcome cross play !
I wonder what they mean by a new story. Will they make actual cutscenes? Or are they adding onto the visual novel type of story mode the original had?
They adding new story after the main story but also they remove the level up and farming items stuff since it was too difficulty (but i prefer a switchable mode honestly for old and new)
And save data could be transfer.
Siegfried did do really well in the Character request poll last year, so the chance of him getting in are extremely high. He's also been featured heavily in the ReLink marketing. I just hope that if he does get in we won't forget about Vane...
the char reveal is probably sandalphon tbh. i think rising will launch with like 4 more chars or smth. so im assuming sandalphon, 1 zodiac because of the stage, maybe a six dragon or an evoker and vane or siegfried.
@@zakki9491 I'm trying to not get my hopes up for Sandalphon(he's my favorite GB Character), I can't handle the blow to my heart if it's not him tho. Since the story is WMTSB3 I would hope Sandy could make an appearance.
I love how Max knows that the Chat is the "Granblue Scientists" granted it will be specific members who will remember the details that will make Granblue a smash hit possibility!
I believe the new character will be showcased or at least announced at the February CyGames Cup. They like to use those to show different things like that usually.
Arcsys has been going ham for a while and I'm here for it
The dash cancel you saw was added in the last big GBVS update, along with a V-Shift-esque backdash.
Damn it looks so good, Arcsystem is on another level regarding this "fake" cell shading, 3D models looking like this is just crazy. If you think about other examples in the industry, you can say Rockstar is on a higher level regarding physiques in general, but it's not a huge difference if compared to others... now Arcystem is far beyond anyone else and they achieved this quality with a double A budget, it's really impressive
Charlotta has this... Leo Whitefang vibe but she *Smol* , with all these shortie arquetypes while being unga bunga, not a 100% Dood character but works while that one character he's maining shows up (Unless yeah, Narumeya being a smol Baiken-ish character)
I wasn't 100 percent sold on the base game but it did have some charm. Hearing that there will be crossplay, lower chance of slowdown online, AND a new story with the filled roster, I'm interested. I might just redownload the original Granblue just to get used to playing again.
They even used Bahamut's Raid Theme here...
I am hyped for the game's revival.
This return is going to be GLORIOUS. They know how to do it, guys. We've been telling them what we want or what it should be the first one. So hopes are high right now and thankfully we just have to wait for late 2023
Been Playing Since Release in 2020 Finally Rollback & Crossplay 🥹
Bought this on day 1 and after 2 month i could not find anyone in eu. Glad rollback is there this time
Grandblue fantasy versus was one of a few titles that I get via ps plus essential. And man I like it.
looking forward to the sequel
crossplay and rollback was expected. I feel the want for crossplay in GG Strive and the eventual successful implementation of it made the arksys devs pretty adept at adapting that backend work to other games. For newer games, I expect they should be standard now. which tbh is such an awesome thing
Brand new game, last update for versus is Jan 26th
A friend brought that to my attention and honestly, I might pick up this newer version if only to further keep my hype of Relink and to fight my friend in it that will more then likely get updates.
Do we get GranBlue Fall Guys at EVO now?
I wish
Max was playing two trailers at the same time, that's why there's a real loud audio behind.
So glad i bought GBVS on november 2022. Been trying it out and the game is awesome. Its a shame i coulndt play with anyone online, but now the game will be populated again. Hope the upgrade is not that expensive!
i have been waiting...day 1 i got a Metera keychain and styled my fightstick with her colors...only for covid to hit and locals became nonexistent.... I am ready to play again. gran/djeeta and metera were so fun to play with
@2:22 This new stage may foreshadow the presence of Jin.
I'm glad for how niche this game seems. It keeps getting updates, characters, mechanics. Like I'm always surprised by the amount of support it gets. Absolutely love it
Meanwhile Fighterz only had a verbal announcement back in August with no update since
I have a feeling Gran’s gonna be having a Dragon Install in this version.
Rollback and Crossplay are essential to these sorts of games for PC anyway. Glad to see it finally become "launch" priority. We made it.
I dropped GBVS when +R got rollback, I just couldn't do it. I now can finally come back home. My Soriz will punch some mountains.
The problem I’m having now is do I wait for Rising or can I buy the OG with DLC now and upgrade later
i think the base game is Free? It sure was on PS Plus awhile ago and i'm not sure if it's only Premium and Extra subscribers but i can download it (it's not streamed thank god) for free. (i have the free one already, i'm just sayin' you SHOULD be able to pick it up no sweat!) :D
Wait for Rising. It's a new game with everything in the old one in it. Pretty sure there won't be an upgrade DLC for it too, since it's that different.
@@AhkoRC yeah that’s the play I’m making
This genuinely excites me. I can’t wait to relearn all my zeta combos and take out my day on all the new players who’ve never played fighting games.
2023 for fighting games is gonna rock, and I'm not into fighting games I haven't been since the PS2 era.
But survival horror is also coming back with hopefully Dead Space Remake, I can't say the Collisto Protocol because that really disappointed me
Granblue Fantasy Versus is my favorite modern Arcsys game because of how easy it is to jump into. I am so happy that it's getting another chance
Now it looks like DnF Duel needs a massive update with like 60+ characters/classes that are in DFO added as playable Fighting Game Characters...
You had my curiosity Granblue, but the rollback and crossplay has my attention.
Very, very happy about this
ArcSys really out here putting rollback in every game 👌
Wait.....does a version of *Blazblue* have it yet? o.o (i mean proper BlazBlue not BBTAG)
@@mikejonesnoreally Oh yeah, Central Fiction got rollback like, last summer bro 👉
@@DragonaxFilms Nice, thanks! :D
Can't wait to play this again!
if been considering granblue for a while. if it has rollback and people are playing i will definitely buy it
@♜𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 Maximilian Dood oh no way! The real and totally not fake max! Bro lemme click on your shady link right away!
"DNF Duel is what I wanted Granblue to be." Spoken like a true MvC fan.
