To answer some of your questions about Granblue Fantasy mobile game: 1- Granblue is really generous gacha game. You can get 600 draws (the gacha rolls) every year. This is not counting celebration campaigns that comes with free draws, which happens every other months As the time of this posting, theres going to be a roulette draw in couple of days, where you can get bunch of free draw (average 500+ draw) 2- The game very complex. Just imagine any other MMO raids mechanics, those exist in Granblue. DPS check? Yup. Instant kills? Yup. The boss has a stupid counter to a very specific strat? Yup. The unique thing about Granblue is its a turn based with real time mechanic. You can just sit on a boss's deadly attack and other players just dunk on the boss to pass the said deadly attack
Thank you, this is very interesting to know! My knowledge of the mobile game is, as mentioned, very base level, so mechanical details are very welcome. To someone with not much any gacha game experience, 600 rolls a year sounds quite generous. Do you have any experience on how well those last the year? I assume it still can't get all content released in a year, but for someone not interested in collecting every single piece of content, can one get a decent amount of unique characters/collectibles?
@@yourpalminsk3997 Ok, so, the draw roulette occurs in December and March (the game's anniversary). Which so happens when most of the powerful characters and summons released time frame Also, you misunderstood. Its 600 draws from playing/grinding + ~1000 draws from both roulette While seasonal characters (yukata, summer, christmas, valentine's day, halloween) are also pretty strong, youre not missing much. I would say these are niche / situational characters Once you got like 3 or 4 meta characters from the free draws, they can pretty much carry you in the early game, even when youre fighting non-advantage element boss (the mobile game heavily discourage you from fighting bosses with incorrect element, unlike Relink) After you exit the early game mode, if you managed to get 10 or so meta characters in every elements, they can last you for around 5 years due to their one-man-army playstyle If you really want a character, you have two options: 1- Wait until Cygames release a 'surprise ticket', which allows you to buy a characeter, except for seasonal characters and really recent ones - Cygames also release a special surprise ticket during the said two month. These allow you to get a seasonal character 2- Trade the item you get from getting duplicate characters for 'Sierokarte Special Ticket'. This one allows you to get any character in the current banner, this includes seasonal characters The only thing youre going to miss is the collab characters. Collab characters are useful for people just started playing for the collab, so theyre not going to shoot you in the foot. Collab characters are quickly replaced by fairly powerful characters _PS. sorry for not answering story related questions. Its hard to answer those without going into deep spoiler territory_ _10 years worth of worldbuilding do be like that_
Excellent, good to know. It sounds like for someone looking to open multiple characters for getting story content, the free draw system is very accomodating, so that's pleasant to hear. It does sound like the gameplay loop itself is quite demanding and the systems mastery requirement is fairly high, so I might have to personally put off on the mobile game and enjoy dipping into the world via Relink for now, though. Still, very interesting to hear that the game features such systems in it!
@@yourpalminsk3997 To be honest with you, you can totally just play the game for the story. The game never lock important lore behind bullshit wall or you dont need proper gear. Story battles nowadays are puzzle you have to solve, so at the very least, understanding how character works is somewhat mandatory While there are no concrete player base numbers, but based on some global player effort events, there are at least over 1 million active players So, there are most likely 3x times the seasonal players (people who only play for the story / login during certain time of the year)
