Ya got anything to say?
playing other gacha makes me appreciate granblue more. fully voiced event is actually rare in this genre.
it does help me get more into the story yes :)
A fully voiced event? Lol that’s it? There’s fully voiced gacha out there like entirely voiced not an event
@@user-kj7ls9os7falso, some Gacha games are actually good games if you ignore the gacha, not games that are only good if you engage in gacha. We all know the main one of course, but people hate that a Chinese developer rubbed Japanese storied developers ( Squeenix, Namco Bandai, Nintendo ) faces in the feces that is Japanese gacha games these days. Genshin Impact is absurdly good, same with Honkai StarRail if Turn Based is more your jam. The only game that attempted to be as good was Tower of Fantasy which sucks ass.
@@user-kj7ls9os7fthe whole thing is voiced. everything
@@IMRavnossaying that any hoyo game is a good game is funny
I have been playing GBF for almost 5 years and It is the only gacha I have consistently stuck with every day. If you are a fan of turn based RPG's , it is a masterclass to me. The grind is definitely... a lot xD
And the amount of resources is overwhelming as a beginner
I'm a big fan of the world of Granblue, the anime and all of the side content, I listen some boss music tracks daily. I love Granblue fantasy versus. But i don't feel like i have a single reason to play the mobile game. Grind, characters are locked with gacha, reading a visual novel on my small screen doesn't sound fun and i'm not sure about the turn based combat but I'm assuming there are limits how deep it can be for a mobile gacha game. The way i see it this world would be wasted on a mobile game, but because of how insanely profitable gacha is they can keep funding a lot of cool stuff based on the brand, really looking forward to the action RPG that is in development which in my mind is what this game should have originally been. (if only it would be an open world where you can pilot your airship and crew, freely exploring and having adventures in the skydoms with no limit)
The grind is out of this world. But it is weirdly addicting. If i feel the burn out i just rest and come back
@@illliiiiillliii6265 if you play long enough, even without paying a single shekel in game, you can almost get all the characters. specially when it's christmas and anniversary(this march 2024) they gave tons of free shit. if i were you i would start now.
there's a lot of players who only open their game during that events just to roll lol
D help on ps4
7 years play GBF
maybe not the best for some,
especially the tedious amount stuff to grind,
but i still enjoy it to this day,
the community also nice and helpful
happy 9th year anniversary for anyone plays it ^^
7 years, holy sh---, are you still grinding a lot to this days?
@@hakimhomecent1619 yup, still got stuffs to do like,
if you familiar with the term:
- 10 eternals TC (9/10, 5/10 max lv150)
- 10 splendor (not yet)
- 10 evoker weapon (4/10)
- 10 evoker flb (not yet available)
@@degamishiro123 are in those 7 years there is a time where you not playing the game at all for sometime?
or always play the game every day until now and yet still have not finish yet?
@@hakimhomecent1619 It's a live service game, there is no finishing it lol.
I’d say the community is the biggest problem within GBF.
The Facebook group assembled a bunch of socially distanced people and some outright creepy ones that will just take the lolly memes too far.
And don’t get me started on the comments you receive when asking for grid improvments…holy hell. Answers will mostly look like this:
Oh you only have 9/10 weapons for optimal Hades grid…don’t build it! oR what is this shit?
Additionally, you can’t even find most of good propositions for grids unless you wanna see whats the best primal premium grid is.
I hate this so much. The fact that most people playing this are just creepy ones that don’t really have sth besides this game.
Started during the SFV Collab way back then. To those interested on exploring this game, please approach this game more as a traditional MMORPG in mobile form. If you don't know where to start and feeling overwhelmed as general rule proceed with MSQ until you hit a softwall because most of your account progression is tied to MSQ. There is also a MSQ jump skip function for those who want to go as fast as possible to the "endgame" content but I HIGHLY don't recommend you to do that because it's more about the journey rather than the destination. In this video Guild War PVP is mentioned, if you don't want to participate in that but still want the grindable Character "the Eternals" you can participate in Dread Barrage instead, a PVE version of Guild Wars so you can join a PVE focused guild and have no problem on obtaining the material
I haven't played for 4~ years so take this with a massive grain of salt, but I totally agree with your take that GBF is closer to an MMO in how you are expected to approach it. There's just a colossal laundry list of daily things you can do and there are always far too many things you should be grinding. There's essentially no limiting factor to your progression other than your time/willingness. Always something you can be doing. Not that it's inherently a con! It's nice to always have dozens of big long term goals to be working towards, and for some people this will be exactly the type of title they keep as their main game.
Personally I stopped after a year of heavy play because the game was simply asking too much of my time/energy and I had other time sink obligations already, but I do think GBF is genuinely a really fun gacha game. My biggest gripe is that I wish the game had a proper client. I get that it's a pro to be able to play easily in a browser, but it just gives the game this really cheap/clunky Flash feel to it that is not present in a lot of the other heavy hitter gacha titles on the market (although I certainly can't speak for all of them). It's a shame since Cygame's other gacha titles don't have this issue and felt more pleasant to play as a result, even if I might not necessarily enjoy the games themselves as much. Hadn't seen anyone else mention that here so just my two cents. I'd recommend folks check it out if they want a heavy timesink gacha game, but otherwise I'd personally look at a less committal, more modern gacha title. Or, you know, normal games/MMOs.
Cool video. Makes a part of me want to come back and check GBF out again.
This game is easily one of my favorites because of the simplicity on what is needed to play it (just a device with chrome/edge), and the very nostalgic turn based RPG combat style.
And yet despite how simple it is on those aspects the developers clearly pour a lot of love into the game:
Tons of great stories, all fully voiced up to the single time npcs (if someone say something you can bet it will be voiced)
Music that takes inspiration from the classic Final Fantasy games and expands of it, with many amazing singers that are in for the ride.
All sorts of characters that can range from goofy, cute, cool and serious. Almost guaranteed you'll find a favorite among so many of them.
And even the grind, if you are consistent in dedicating 15-30 minutes a day, can take you veery far in the long run.
It won't be the game for everyone, but it's very well worth the try.
Really good game.
Easy to access, browser game advantage.
Top Voice actor/actress, good art, good music, good gacha rate.
Too grindy, but have nice reward.
Voiced story is one of the best aspect here, while other similiar games too limited at battle and really specific circumstance.
Female Draph is the best
Naru and Threo supremacy
Ah, I see you're men of culture as well.
Why did you not say good gameplay
As a guy who played granblue fantasy since the released of english language on 2016, i have to admit it's very worth it. This game is really rich full of story. Tbh i don't grind that much, tho i do when i feel such a weakling in guild wars or want to upgrade your character class.
When i say this game has tons of story, it has A LOT. Fate episodes(story for character that you get when gacha roll),main story and event story/ side story(i assure you'll like this more since it focus on various character rather than the main character).
Although at the beginning of main quest, it kinda gets a bit annoying for early main quest coz there will be monsters interrupting you talk with others most of the time, but i'll get better like around chapter 80 after that. Same with event story, the early ones pretty meh, but it gets better on recent one. I mean who needs to watch anime when you have granblue fantasy with tons of story in it. Jokes aside, the mobile game is really great, really recommend it
This is j
I started playing almost 3 years ago thanks to GBVS hype, and the game is fking gorgeous I love it, is the only gacha I can be grinding for hours (I did the last dirt GW, played 28h in a row lol), The music is the best in the gacha industry and your energy for playing is almost infinite. I love how the grind works, I had even done the blue skin and I'm working on eternal splendor weps, but in the meantime, we have some arcarum weps 2 farm (working on my 2nd ULB).
The only downside I find is that the game has a lot of timelock and you have to work your way to get throught that so fking hard, but I love it.
I found the game recently maybe around one or two years, I just remember the first event I played was the 8th anniversary event. And I must say with the gachapin and all the stuff, the game is quite merciful with the gacha, the grind is not really an annoying thing (maybe to me) but I played genshin impact and quit it after six months of farming artifact so this is still a little bit merciful.
If your your a newbie and planning to play the game now it's a good month to start since free draw with roulette is kicking on march 10, you might get summer Monika and Azusa or Yukata Ilsa. Also get all your freakin free stuffs!
I don't play as much anymore (or rather I'm a seasonal lmao), but I really love Granblue Fantasy. From the character to the music, it's all amazing.
GBF is honestly very enjoyable.
Nothing too flashy and some stories are dull, but then you get other stories like WMTSB that are insanely memorable.
The grind is painful but everything else is so enjoyable that I can't be mad at it most of the time.
Also, that was some whiplash there, your accent was familiar but I couldn't recognize it until you said that one word that is so dear and near to my heart. A nice little "fodase" really warms the portuguese heart.
Found this game out by people talking about the "guild wars" feature, but not saying the name of the game. Glad I found this video
voice actors are the best you can ask for
story is amazing
music is metal gear rising revengeance tier
unique battle mechanics
the only downside I think if you don't have much time to play, the grind is very heavy, you need to invest time in this game
if not, you can still be a "story player" or a "seasonal player"
story player is someone who plays just to enjoy the story
and seasonal is well, you log in for freebies when there are seasonal events such as the current anniversary, summer, halloween, holiday, new year, valentine/white day, etc
I feel like I do fit the seasonal category at times 😅 but that's me with a lot of games because there's just too much I want to play and experience.
Granblue Fantasy uses the Sparks system which is slightly different from the Pity system
Pity = character rate ups will guarantee after a certain pull and will reset if the player gets a character rate up
Sparks = after a certain pull, you can exchange currency for rate ups or other characters on the banner, and it does not reset if the player gets a rate up character
Should you play Granblue Fantasy? If you still love your life then don't play this game, if you don't love your life then it doesn't hurt to try it.
this game is a grinding hell.
third time hiatus from this game I still keep coming back to play this game again, and I can't stop it.
Grinblue Fantasy where the Grind never ever ends
i have been playing since 2016 and i-ve played a lot of other gachas games, I can tell you that gbf is the best by far. it has new content very often that dont make it feels like an old game.
one thing u didnt says in the video is the amazing work of the best seiyuus in the industry.
the grind is infinty, yes. But you dont need to have all the top tier thing to enjoy the game or even being competitive. Its more like a coop game if you like to be more casual, and if i like to be try hard you can try to defeat the HL raids by yourself.
Thank you for pointing the voice acting thing out! I really should have touched on it more because after all other games in the space don't have near as much voice acting as GBF does (again looking at fgo here lmao)
I will say the exception to the not needing top tier stuff is diaspora tier raid since they tend to put importance in seasonals or grands to get by at least in pubbed raids
Relink was announced like 4 or 5 months after I started playing and I was so excited for it
I just want a release date please I beg
Been playing since the Attack on Titan's collaboration event and still going strong despite changing accounts here and there (this is a bad habit of mine in online games, first account is always bad cuz of experimentation).
My latest account started just at the start of 2022, two months before "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" anniversary event and been going really strong with it. Just yesterday I finally cleared Lucilius HL solo with my Earth party! The grind and gacha definitely helps. Especially the gacha cuz Galleon 😂
Nicely explained, great videos!
Played Granblue since 2017 to kill my boredom and back then i didnt even know about the grindy part yet. I absolutely love the fully voiced story, beautiful arts, heartcrashing yet stunning story, and the music that so FREAKING GOOD that makes me feel bad havent put any money on this game yet
Now that i understand the grindy part, metagame, etc that optimize everything in this game, i kinda used to the grind part of the game, but it can be overwhelming for newer players. Put aside the grindy and metagame part and try to enioy the game on your own pace, then you will love this game
One of the most generous gacha games I ever played in my life
That was fun.
I hope Granblue Fantasy continues to expand with more games.
I have been playing it on mobile for some months now and I doubt I will stop anytime soon.
As someone who's played Granblue for years, no- don't go back and play it. Just enjoy the content they're putting out. Its a cool gacha but its neither f2p friend or fair even if you pay. If you're ok with that however you might end up getting hooked for a very long time cause its got some of the most beautiful visuals out of any gacha out there.
GBF is the most generous gacha and I love playing it casually just to enjoy my favorite characters. I've got like 100 SSR's by literally never playing the game lmao. Fun as hell whenever I do actually play as it's a beautiful turn based game.
I actually just logged into my old gb account brought back so many memories
Two of my Favorite Anime like Gintama and Bo-bobo-Bobobo collab in this game but at that time i didn't know that you can play it in Google App which made me really frustrated.... I just wonder if GBF ever Considers doing Re Runs of those two Collaboration...
Positive side i did manage to get the One Piece Characters... Its just that i want them Gintama and Bo-bobo-Bobobo.....
For me, GBF is much alike building machine learning models and neural networks, you spend most time watching it train, and you are proud to see that your end result achieves a good result.
Ignoring the games inexplicable betweenness state of f2p or p2w. I think it's a well designed game where you can leave in the background during school and work. It strikes the right balance between auto-ing through content (the 'gameplay' repeated infinite times) and manually controlling progress (planning how you will improve/unlock the 'gameplay').
Despite how majority of the 'playtime' doesn't require much (if any) attention to complete, you actively get the sensation of being part of its progression. This reason was, and still is, a significant factor in my decision to continuing the game despite how tiring it may be.
If you managed to stay in the game for a month or two (with some planning), you are probably not leaving anytime soon.
P.S. It also releases updates constantly, good updates.
and the music FODASSE
I mean try listening to it it's so good 😭
Is it possible to play the entire available story with no/minimal grind?
I have to make a case for gbf.
As a huge 2D RPG fan, i played gbf for a long time.
I love the characters and I also love the lore. The world is beautiful designed. And especially the first 100 sth chapters are a blast to play through.
But I feel like there has been a change in business strategies and community-wise over the last 2 years.
It’s shocking how fast and aggressive Cygames is progressing powercreep with new units. Unless you cash in a lot, you can’t possible keep your elements all uptodate. And the grind is frigging annoying when most of the content is dead because it seems like there aren’t many new players following. The endgame players are chilling in some specific raids and the rest can try to get along.
The other PROBLEM: you can’t possibly find normal grids anymore. People keep their info hidden behind discord groups and if you find sth on the wiki, it’s usally an expensive primal grid that will be outdated soon. Remember Ixaba? I wanna know if I can use my ixabas f.ex. Yes no longer best in slot, but how good are they really for clearing content?!
That’s the thing you can’t find anymore.
And the new gacha weapons like crimson scale now have a strong case to be run in magna as well, making the best version of f2p grids gacha reliable.
I am really worried about this all…
There is a page called "advanced grids" on the wiki which has a writeup for every relevant weapon in each element, one for magna and one for primal, plus one main page with a general overview of everything. It also includes some builds to copy and base grids to expand upon as you see fit. Theres specific setups listed, usually multiple, for most of the raids people spam, general racing, and even a unf section. Some setups will feature very expensive weapons and/or limited characters, but it always offers more accessible alternatives if there are any, that will still get the job done just maybe not quite as fast.
Also, generally, there are a bunch of youtube channels which will upload videos showing off setups, both theoretical and finalized, with the latter giving a decent idea of how to actually play it. They can be tricky to find but certainly not impossible. One channel i love checking out is randomystery, they like to cater to f2p players a lot with a pretty large variety of 100% f2p builds (0 gacha weapons, summons, or characters) that can be used in soloing even the high-end raids
Been playing GBF for 7 years now. New players will be welcomed really well since there are many freebies now right from the start with access to a few SSR for free unlike the time when I started. Although be warned that the grind on the game is really heavy once you reach around mid game. This is the longest time I played this game and the fact I still play it until now is because it's easily accessible due to it being a browser game and not take much space on my device
i remember i created an account back in 2014 when it launched then stop that account because from 2014 to 2015, there's no English text option yet, it's in full Japanese until it reached its 1st anniversary in 2015 then English text option was released.
Came back 2016 to create an account again, and still playing that account up to this day.
this game changed my gaming life in a way that i don't play games with English voices now lol it's always English text in a Japanese voice nowadays in all games for me lol no Japanese voice, no purchase lol
This game is the God of the gacha/waifu collector genre 💯
I've tried so many gachas that I lost count, but GBF really managed to stay my number 1 gacha, the one I play litterally everydays. This game is good, I love it so much, I started 5 years agos and I'm still not bored of it.
Tho I wish to correct one thing: Granblue is a gacha game. Grinding is needed but has it's limits, the meta keep changing, and overall gacha(primal) grids have more potential than grind ones. The eternals arent that good anymore until you transcend them (RIP) and if the evokers are still broken they need to start backline and there is max 2/element. It's playable without putting money on it but it's still gacha especially for Guild wars. (But Guild War is bad, people are insane)
this game put me in sunk cost fallacy, i would never recommend this game to everyone, one day maybe this year, i will quit forever after breaking all of my weapons.
been playing since 2018 just because of the free rolls, i just got invested this year. idk why i couldnt care for the main story quest "story". but i like individual character lore and and you event was cool
I love how GF brings the FF aesthetics
Hmmm... I never play gachas for very long, but I might pick this one up and try it.
Tried Rising.
Started playing Charlotta.
Now I am checking the original one.
It did pulled me in a bit
Is the game grindy if all you want to enjoy is the story?
One thing that you must known about it
Gbf is game about dedication. Due to its extreme repetition its does give you discouraged to compared to other player.
Ive been playing since the second zodiac andira (maybe 7 years ago?) The fact that its a browser make it harder to quit since its easily accessible just by opening browser and at some point you only need a few minutes for your daily quota.
5:26 you havent witnessed it, the endless grind in the sandbox, it will never be finished, countless veritas, ideans, astras, the list goes on, its never ends
Ye granblue fantasy is fun if u dont mind grind (AFK).
I kinda learned to live with it. I mostly put the party battling on Auto while doing something else.
@@OotakaKubo ye same but if ur busy with something intensive where u need focus its not very possible to do that. And for beginners the FA grind team isnt always attainable (unless lucksack a lich or something).
Counterpoint: AFK grind is only really possible once you have the characters and the grid to do so. Until then, early-to-mid game players forever stuck in manual land.
@@reso7675 ye I said so as well in my previous comment. If ur a beginner manual will be the way until rank 120ish
8 years player here and GBF is my favorite game since Mobius, Million chain, Rodora :3
Final Fantasy Mobius …❤️ I miss this game dearly.
Game is cool until you have to get some specific " strong in meta " characters in order to deal damage fast enough in raid for loots to drop. Because boss dies so fast and normal characters are slow af
I’ve been playing casually since the original English language translation release - have all M2 grids for my teams, but wondering if I’ll ever go balls deep and spend my four sparks and 40 Damascus bars to finally build a real primal grid lol
How do you download it
I see the game on a discount and dont know If its worth buying or just wait for the New game to release. Does the people worth the First game get a discount on te relink?
I'm sorry. Did you mean grindblue fantasy?
Jokes aside, voice acting at this genre is really rare, and every character have a good writing and deep background.
We also need to learn boss moves
You mean Grindblue Farmtasy?
Is it worth playing?
Most gbf players: No
I say... don't, just don't... if you're playing this game. you're basically signed a contract to surrender your life. the hell grind is real.
joking aside, yes, play it. especially for the cultured art xD
Did anyone else came here after seeing that twitter video of some anime guy defeating a dinosaur with giant shrimp and doing the akira slide on the shrimp he's riding while doing so?
someone using the premium friday costume and doing the Tyra's Bizarre Misadventure event i guess
my friend used to play this and one day I asked him how to st it up because I was bored never had boredom since because I know there is always something else to grind in this game
also didnt sandalphon win the whole popularity ranking for versus why they adding the sheep wtf
they might be waiting for the right time to announce him 😅
maybe closer to release?
Coz sheep is on top 10 also same with Uno, dont think they releasing the top 1 soon yet.
Yes, Granblue is not a gacha game but a grinding game.
I'm a casual player and it took me more than 8 months just to unlock a my first Evoker.
what💀 bro what were you doing it should take like 3 months max that's insane 😭
You should probly start grinding sandbox and evokers weapons too 😂
If you think that's bad it took me 2,5 years to even unlock Caim because I don't give a crap about old Arcarum back then
@@yakumosgr nawww not evokers 😦😧 4 years in I only just got caim bc of the event LOL arcarum is so boring
Be cause is awsome ❤😍
Wait, the original game started out as a gatcha????
I am inviting my friends to play this game.
But they're stuck to a another gacha game.😅😅😅
how many people play Granblue Fantasy?
Good ol GrindBlue Fantasy
This has to be one of the nicer videos on gbf, well here is the thing folks (player from 2017-) the game is grindy as shit, you can literally play all day all time since there is basically free stamina, and you could if you really wanted, gacha rates are kinda ok, as he mentioned with Anniversary, x-mas, and summer you don't need to roll that much and can save those 300 rolls..if you can withstand the fancy new units coming every month, a good thing about gbf is that if you are casual and you are just in for the story you can just be casual, you wont be able to endgame stuff but no biggie, Ive been playing with my friends from all over the world this crap for like 4 years, we grind when we need and don't do nothing just log in when we need to, gbf respects your time as much as you want it to.
my first rpg gacha hell that get me stuck for 6 year and still cannot auto wwww...... wtf i am doing lmao
I speak as a 7 year Stockholm Syndrome GBF player with Rank 202.
I trashed GBF every single day, ever since Monkeygate... but Good Lord, I just want games to respect QoL faster than Granblue Fantasy updating QoL twice per year - but many games doesn't even do QoL. While I say this game's grind is inhuman, at least now we got unlimited permanent access to solo raids that grants endgame-level weapon copies which I respect.
Also Square Enix going downhill crashing Final Fantasy in the NFT process just solidifies GBF's future beyond that of Mukku and Gachapin Roulettes.
started 5 years ago from WMTSB Start then played till 2019 and then got really bored and decided to vacuum for 2 years until last year where there is many content to explore and upgrade
imo, if you don't like hardcore grind stuff then don't do this game, it needs you an insane amount of time to complete a grid
short answer: no
long answer: yes
the answer of someone who's in this gacha hell and can't escape : no... but-
this is not a game, this a slave's job
Gbf in a nutshell
Farming - farming - magna 1
Farming - farming - guild war
Farming - farming - magna 2
So on and so forth
Short version: yeah if you want some casual stuff to kill time. It has a lot of content and progression
Shorter version: no. you want to become KMR slave?
Me with my main team being luffy,joker,deku,yuji
Yes i recommend this game🤣👌🏾
Granblue was a good game, but I didn't like how it was a browser game, it made the game seem incredibly low quality, and slow connection made it hard to play due to all the loading.
btw what is the music playing at 3:33
Hey :) It's called "Armageddon" and it features the beautiful voice of Emi Evans who is known for her singing in the Nier soundtracks.
@@OotakaKubo arigathanks gozaimuch :)
It's a shame because I tried it, but its Vertical landscape and small UI makes it a big turn off for me. I can't wait for Relink.
i literally bought a 2nd monitor put it on portrait mode, bought a stand so i can place it vertically. just to let it afk while i do shit like watching youtube on main monitor lol
Granblu+housamo>>> genshin
Do I need to create an account with mobage or any of those websites to save my data?
Yeah. Tho you can just login to mobage using your existing twitter or google account or something like that if you don't want to remmeber a new login
Thanks! Is there a way to disable the mail spam that mobage tends to do?
I don't think I've ever had that problem so not sure if I can help with that sadly
The origin of it all! Should you play Granblue Fantasy?
No. You dont want to fall in this hell hole.
There is also an Anime.
The game's lore, music, and gameplay are great.
-the subreddit is not-
guild wars is your duty 🥲
4:11 pepega stick grid
pepehands you caught me
...was there any real game play in this entire video??
the answer is yes
I'd probably try Genshin Impact if it was more like Granblue. By that I mean LESS GACHA, MORE GRIND!
but the people I know that play Genshin already complain about grind xd
Then again I can probably see where you're coming from, it seems genshin doesn't give you much in terms of free units and weapons afaik.
Question: should you play Granblue
Answer: fuck no
Short answer: No
Long answer...

No, you should not
More hxh than a one piece don't you think
Have been playing since the time where there's only Japanese language in the game and I'd simply and honestly say "Don't start playing this game, it's a hell hole." Lol.
Do you want a second job? If Yes. Play it, otherwise a big No 💀💀💀
The gacha player's psychology has always been a fascinating topic to me, particularly in the way that from the outside the communities frequently split into two camps of the way they treat the experience.
"The game is bad, I hate it, the grind is horrible, I have sunk months of actual hours for all this shit but now I can't stop, so just give me the damn SSS+ so I won't game end myself"

"Yeah, haha, the grind is bad alright, I've sold my arm and a leg, haha, but it's cool, I like the characters and really it's not *that* bad once you - insert X condition which comes after 120 hours of play here -"
Granblue is no different, but also kind of seems so in the way that there is both the possibilities of other properties set within the universe, as well as the universe itself being interesting and thought-out. Why stick with a meticulous grind that's been mathematically engineered for maximum user retainment only to be rewarded with scraps of narrative and world-building that ultimately are always at risk due to serving a purpose of driving the reward mechanism / advertisement? What would be the purpose of still sticking with the "source material", which in itself seems universally disliked due to its mechanical engagement and metaprogression, when other opportunities to explore the world and characters, that ultimately serve as the drive for the former, exist?
I know I sound pretentious, I'm not denying the fact that I almost feel like a kid watching ants and wandering the "why" of what they're doing, but genuinely, it's such an interesting trick of design to funnel people into an experience *despite* the experience.
Rants aside, I am excited for Rising as well as watching cutscenes from the original game on the main quest and WMTSB. Also feel like expressing some gratitude to the people who allowed all this to happen in the first place, loathe as I may be to validate the practices that are attached to it.
