Enjoying your content but you might want to consider removing that bright light from your background
As an oled user I can’t watch any of your longer content due to the risk of burn in
Oleds are very popular now so it’s something you might want to consider
Full character Customization is a lie lol ~ I can't change the armor of any character only their sword changes or guns.
I'm enjoying this game few back stories like Percival and Gang are kool but.. Literally no armor like monster hunter world where you almost look like you're wearing best parts of the monster on yourself is incredibly missing here.
The sad thing is that we have to now say "complete game" instead of just calling it a game.
the sad thing is “complete game” means a non complete game that has already announced paid dlc before it comes out.
@@randomzombie5579not sad at all, this game already has around 120 hours of content with more free content on the way, they gave you dinner and said dessert is on the way
The upcoming DLC is free.@@randomzombie5579

@@skyuru Yes, he's my fav art style wise
Yeah their fighting game Rising looks amazing as well
@@boscotheman82 yes
Really hope this becomes popular.
I've heard from people a lot of times how they wish games like Genshin should just be full priced games and allow you to get everything through gameplay.
Obviously the gameplay is not the same, but the character collection aspect and progression sytems are there. Hopefull they give this game a try.
and co-op endgame, glad they delay game to add more content beyond single player campaign, old fashion full game+full multi mode in 1 will bring them enough popularity to sell well and adding new characters in process
Let's try and boost this game more. It's super fun but it isn't getting enough attention.
gameplay is arguably better
@@SandCarpetwhile i wouldnt call genshin impact a jrpg stricly, more of an action/adventure game with jrpg elements, lazy npc with no voice acting and chore missions, comes with the genre, its almost a staple in jrpgs. Its what i expect and wouldnt call it a problem but this one will prob have the same thing. Theres no way the extra 80 hours of content the said after the story are all bosses, maybe it is but thats unrealistic, itl prob be fetch quests and dialogue to said bosses.
Bruh it's just like Genshin Impact.
Not being able to swap characters may sound bad to most players, but imo it's like a role, similar to choosing a weapon in Monster Hunter. And i like that. I imagime ppl running with a full team as rackam or ghandagoza against a wind type element raid boss.
This. They also showcase how they play the endgame with roles like having tank and healer. I'm sure of the most endgame of this game will really need these roles not just attacker.
@@serenity3157 Not when everyone is able to sustain themselves and reviving is a thing and there's no real enmity modifier outside of damage. Some characters do have more supportive skills but you won't be forced into using them. They also mentioned the entire game will be able to be played solo with the AI companions, so unless they have some next generation AI here capable of playing proper support roles, the fights will end up being dps races more often than not, though I assume having actual players playing support roles here and there can make things much easier, but never be a requirement, which is the right approach in my opinion
Welp we still havent see the most endgame of the content, we'll see.
@@serenity3157 idk the demo was concerning to me like the enemies were very very spongy even with 4 attackers but I suppose that MH is the same xD I just dont notice without health bars
hope its great will try to play once Im done with my backlog xD there were a ton of great games lately and not enough time to play them
There's a planning ahead and there's being able to respond there and then. If a new boss arrives, you'll figure out it's strenghts and weaknesses. And although the thought being able to weave yourself through the fights dynamically might sound good, look at Monster Hunter, you want a little planning ahead kind-of-action. I think doing it with a pre-setup sounds way more enticing to me than being able to respond with a flick of a switch.
Also, it has to do with the balance of the combat and overall feel with a mission board system, I think it will be interesting to see how it ends up.
I am keeping my eyes on this, gonna wait until I watch some more gameplay when it releases, but it looks promising. Not entirely convinced yet, I hope it has some depth in the end-game.
Also, very nice to see that there are game developers that don't abuse its playerbase with microtransactions. Genshin Impact is something I never understood why was accepted in the first place. I've grown to love jrpg's since I played the early FF series and the best way to aquire items in games is by unlocking them through gameplay.
When cosmetics came along, I had a strong gut feeling, it is preying on the players. I am against it for the same reason now as I figured out back then so many years ago.
Cosmetics is one thing I can live with though, if there are good looking stuff already in place, but p2w tactics is something I boycott games for, with ease.
So here's to hoping this will be nothing of the sort, and that the game will be great. Here's to a healthy game!
as a fan of the original mobile game its already feel unreal that the game is finally coming out(its becoming inside joke in the gbf community that the game would keep delayed and will never came out) let alone seeing so many people who didnt know the franchise existence say they cant wait to play the game when its released
that's me, man. It feels like the game was tailor made for me specifically with everything I enjoy in a game all mashed together lol, been counting the days up to its release since I first learned about it 3 months ago
I'll definitely be checking out other gbf content, at the very least by watching the anime
I love it as well, been playing gbf on and off for so long and also started playing granblue fantasy versus, my first ever fighting game.
What cygames is doing is just amazing, they are certainly the japanese blizzard.. I hope they don't end up like them tho..
A lot of people don't know cygames outside the gacha sphere even tho their games are always top of the line.,Rage of Bahamut is amazing, Shadowverse being one of the best card games ever made, Granblue Fanatsy being one of the only gachas that put gameplay first and now Granblue fantasy that is on a similar fotting to Guilty Gear Strive now and now we get Relink which will end up on thr same fotting like Monster Hunter.. And all in their style, they don't just copy.. And they don't stop there, they also publish amazing gachas like princess connect.
I really love cygames and it's still one of the only game companies I believe they do it because they like games and gamers, I don't feel like a cashcow. ❤❤
Amen, brother!
God, if this game is everything it is hyped up to be, this is going to be even more amazing then Genshin Impact. Having to unlock everything through game play instead of micro-transaction would be a breath of fresh air.
We know that color schemes are available in game but there's also paid for color schemes. Characters we do know will be earn in game only and they will release 2 more in I think March or April.
@@lapisgaming6093 Paying for color schemes is better than gambling for characters.
@@Seoul_Soldier ooh I agree no doubt. I personally do not play gacha for that reasoning. If I buy/pay for something i want the thing i pay for not all the useless shit I won't use🤣
@@Seoul_Soldier I don't mind buying characters for like fighting games as they are guaranteed. But I hate the fact you get no control over items you get from slot machines mechanics in games like gachas.
Don't forget that Genshin is designed so that you can play it forever, for years and with regular new content.
But I can't say the same about Granblue - will they release new content and support the game for years?
Or will this be a one-time adventure? Because if it’s a one-time thing, then maybe it’s not worth spending time on it, because the game will end in a couple of weeks anyway.
I tried the demo for 5 min and immediately delete the game. Not because i didn't like it but because i was already sold😅. Cant wait for the release.
you got me on the first half
should have at least done the quest mode so you can get the freebies for the main game.
@@evilsock12 XD
The only thing that saddens me a bit is how little publicity there is for it. This game could be massive.
I think the reason it has little publicity is because granblue as a whole doesnt have a very huge community or following compared to other games like GG, DBZ, MK, SF plus GB doesn't do a lot of promotion for their games either.
You should NOT FORGET that CyGames doesnt have an all great name in japan because of very scummy business moves they have thrown at players in their gacha game Granblue fantasy. I like that the IP is getting more spotlight through ReLink. But CyGames IS NOT the great company people are making them be so close before this release. @@DarkKindaru
Granblue as a Franchise is really big in Non-American countries and of course Japan.
It's like the Dragon Quest games. Sure it's a big series with the DragonBall Artstyle but it's still niche in terms of the wider gaming/anime community.
I'm soooo excited for this game. I played the demo for 5 hours, getting hooked on max ranking the Quakadile fight while stubbornly keeping Katalina as my character.
You mentioned going back to Baldur's Gate. Have you taken a look at Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? You strike me as someone who would enjoy a good action-based metroidvania. It's really, REALLY good
I love how it has a bit of white knight chronicles features where most the game is offline but you can jump online with friends if you choose to ! Plus you don't have to worry about being forced to stay online so you'll always be able to play your game even if servers shut down ! Thats how it should be with any game you pay good money for ! It's a game you should always play the way you want to play the game . This is definitely an awesome game ! Still looking forward to ff7 and dragons dogma 2 also though!!
Yup. It remind me of white knight. Look like this game will replace that game for me till dragon dogma 2
i've been waiting for this game for almost 6 yrs since i first saw the gameplay, and now it's finally coming, it's like a fever dream, and i can't wait to play it on Feb 1
Same here man. I remember seeing their initial gameplay showing siegfried, percival, vance (?) and I forget the third one. Fighting the ancient dragon at the end. I was so goddamn hyped to have a stylized co-op game. Gods I cant wait to sink so many hours into this game.

The demo is definitely great! So many different characters. I think I put around 8 hours already into the demo. I've been waiting for Granblue Fantasy Relink for years! I can't wait to play this on January 28th 👊🏿
just found your channel, thanks for your videos mate. i never heard of this grandblue game but i will try it.
I also played the demo and the combat reminded me of the Ys games. If you are fan of fast paced action combat on a full fledged complete title i can only recommend at least Ys 8 and 9 and even the older titles.
Especially since Narmaya and Dana are voiced by the same actor :)
ys 8 was the one with the island ?? got my save corrupted with the shitty pc port on launch and the awfull translation made me refund it did they fixed it or just ran with it?
never touched 9 cause of that it was just terrible so Im curious if something changed
@Sm0ke821 I played it on ps5 (comes with premium, so does ys 9). One of my favourite games I plated last year. Dana is an exceptional character.
@@KanoSuntale after writing this I checked and apparently they did a retranslation and fixed everything wrong with the port ,that also explains why I got a refund with 10 hours played xD will check it again cause it went from 30% or so on steam when I left and now its at 94% and that is a big fkng difference
@@Sm0ke821 that's insane value :D definitely go for it man, could be a good prep for Granblue as well as the action combat in Ys 8 is hella fun and somewhat similar (4 abilities per character, dodges, parries, breaks, etc.). I definitely recommend you play on Hard if you like action games. It was my first Ys and I managed fine!
If you are on PS plus you can play both 8 and 9 for "free" as well.
Free ad over :P have fun
I knew nothing about this game or the granblue fantasy universe like a week ago and after trying the demo I’m very hyped and it shot up to one of my most anticipated games of the year so far. What’s crazy is I just started playing tales of arise for $20 and then this drops and they’re very similar accept this game is more my style with the multiplayer deep customization aspect. I agree with everything you said in this video!
I'm so glad you talked about the difference between Relink and Genshin, your opening statement had me worried that you thought the two were much alike!
well yeah... the games aren't anything like one another.
Yet for some reason I can't understand people keep comparing the 2... as if they're anything alike @lenajohnson6179
We will see what the pc launch looks like. No demo makes me wonder if it's going to be optimized poorly. Fingers crossed cause I want this one
Thank you for that summary brah. That was really in depth. I was lazy to play the game because I actually thought you do have to switch characters like Genshin. I thought I’d have to learn each character to play them all optimally at least. To me that’s actually a positive as I would prefer to have a frontline tank and fight while I bombard enemies from the back line. So that seems quite appealing to me where I can stick to my comfort character and see how the AI play them and then choose if I wish to learn the others.
I've been following this game development since BEFORE Genshin was announced, if i were to pick any of the 2 then this one takes the cake. I'm so excited, i just hope it works well on PC because, it seems every game developer hates PC and their games come with performance issues all over the place.. One can only hope this time, just this time, it's going to play well on PC.
The delay really did this game a service it looks like. I don't think if they had released on the original given date, it would have nearly as much polish or characters.
I love mission based games: Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, MGSV, Toukiden, and even Wild Hearts. WH just was way too hard so the Platinum dragged out.
In the demo I played Narmaya and I surprisingly picked up on her pretty easily. Now I just need to learn how to weave in the skills.
First, let me just say that intro to your video is the motivational speech anyone should hear to play this game lol I had the demo downloaded but didn’t rush to play it until after I saw your video.
Second, I just finished the tutorial and the combat is so simplified and fun that I can’t believe this game exists. It might be a terrible comparison, but I got the same feeling when I played Ni No Kuni II and how addicting that gameplay was for me, that’s the vibes I’m getting so far. Can’t wait to sink time into the main game!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting. I liked Ni No Kuni II as well, but the sprite war battles turned me off. I've been familiar with GBF ever since 2017 when I played their mobile game for a few months and I think that I will try this game out over the weekend. Cheers!
Currently at chapter 9, LOVING this game.
What i really appreciate is the pacing AND the boss fights, my god... they are fun, addictive and epic.
I've been excited for this game for a while now. Were there any options to customize AI for your party?
What's the background music in this video? I recognise but can't place it
I've been hype for this game for literal years now. I plan to master all the characters and be well rounded, but I feel that i may main Lancelot, Yodarha, Gran, and Siegfried the most.
This video has made me even more excited for Relink. Thank you so much!
Hi guys is standard edition (steam) bought comes with additional character together too? Seofon and Tweyen i mean
Im extremely excited for this game also, that BG3 music in the background. "Down down down by the river!"
I LOVE THIS GAME its amazing, its the perfect mix of final fantasy and monster hunter. This is what I've been waiting on for years. I'm a ffxiv main and having my custom character is a big deal but for Granblue... its my Genshin, a universe of cool characters to dive into plus after playing granblue versus I already have characters I'm vibin with and to use them in relink feels awesome. I'm looking forward to new characters and bosses. I hope this game gets the love it deserves because a lot of us have been waiting on something like this Granblue did way better then blue protocol
Played the demo last night and am even more excited than I already was! One of my most anticipated games this year! It's gorgeous!
question. when navigating, why is there no minimap?
New to your channel, I really like the way you make your videos.. the eye contact, the pace of your speech, the structure of your videos.. dude you are killing it! :)
Thanks for your uploads. You really do your community a service. Even if it's something peripheral to your interest.
My pleasure!
I played the story demo .. fighting the troll boss and man .. it feels INCREDIBLE , its a NEW GAME but it feels like home for some reason
I was super distracted by the shirt, spiritbox is dope as hell dude! Great video as always friend.
Hope the game's ending isn't to geared towards multiplayer. I prefer to play solo and generally am unable to play online for multiplayer, plus none of my friends do online either
I played Genshin close to launch for a bit, I just wanted to nitpick that it also has important party mechanics with elemental interactions, healing, buffing, alternating ability cooldowns etc.
Genshin is also an open-world game that heavily emphasizes exploration and stuff. This isn't. I don't really understand the comparison, other than they're both anime-style.
@@kevadu Don't forget that Genshin is designed so that you can play it forever, for years and with regular new content.
But I can't say the same about Granblue - will they release new content and support the game for years?
Or will this be a one-time adventure? Because if it’s a one-time thing, then maybe it’s not worth spending time on it, because the game will end in a couple of weeks anyway.
@@angmar87 they already have future updates planned, but how many future updates depends on how popular the game becomes.
@@Goujiki Hmm... do you think Granblue can become the first live service game, but without gacha elements and without timegates like energy and stamina?
This would be great, besides the DLC with a price of 10 bucks per character is much cheaper than the 150 bucks per character price tag in Genshin.
@@kevadu it's a longshot comparison, but people in the west aren't really used to seeing actual good action rpg games so they naturally compare it to the first even remotely similar thing that comes to mind. Others are comparing it to Monster Hunter, which is probably a bit closer to what we have here, but still different enough for the comparison to seem silly
Now remember people, i knoe yall kids are used to live service games with years of post launch support, but this is not one of those games, this is a stand alone complete package, do not expect a ton of post launch support, because this is not a live service title, im expecting maybe a year of updates, QoL and a few dlcs, the JRPG community is fine but im expecting the more casual AAA community to cry about a lack of post launch support, and believe me, this game not being a live service title is definitely a good thing, things like live service, microtransactions, cosmetic dlc and battle passes have collectively ruined the AAA industry, thats why we traditional gamers have had to rely on Eastern titles, AA and indie games to get our fix, this game is a breath of fresh air
I expected it to be sort of a tales of arise like. Not a monster hunter game that stripped down the things I didn't enjoy in MH and double down on what I actually enjoyed about it, great game that now I'm looking forward to.
That demon was a big W. It left me wanting more honestly
I know it’s not a live service game but would be nice to see them add more characters and bosses down the road
Do the characters change their appearance depending on the gear they're using?
i played the demo and was blown away... just saving up me sheckles for it now.
Great watch and I agree with just about everything you said . I stumbled across the demo and wow was I surprised at how “crisp “ it was . Shocked to hear the 7 year wait time but with all of that I’m not shocked at the great product!
Cannot wait for this release
Criticism to hub based has dropped when the loading for hub became instant. Seeing this in play makes me excited for hub load speed for the next Monster Hunter AAA title
Hope to get that game in the future.
Okay, I'll try the demo. I saw footage of this game and ultimately decided it wasn't for me but you've convinced me to at least try it.
Can’t wait! When does this come out?
feb 1
Sucks that you can't change characters in mid battle like on arise
Two of my favorite games kinda almost switched genres. Yakuza and Grand blue.
I have a question, does this game have story mode co-op? Similar to "god eater" or it's only like join a lobby for specific multiplayer quests/missions?
Story mode is solo
@@UsagiKuruzudammit
your pronunciation for different names is very interestinggg lol BUT i am happy to see you covering this gameee!🤭🤭
It's very telling when I see most people on my PSN friend list putting in 30+Hrs on the demo - myself included. That's bonkers to me. 😂
I wonder is coop like monster hunter when you only slay monster in the objective. or you can play story with your friends?
It’s going to be playable with keyboard and mouse?
tried to find the demo on steam to no avail, is the demo on console only?
Yup, it's console-only sadly
All i needed to see was fast paced combat I'm sold.
I just got Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and started the anime. Once I get through those I'll get Relink.
So how much Platinum DNA is still in this game?
bruh how do you change the character😭, im stuck with gran
I've been following this game for what 8 years now since it was announced by Platinum games yeah you could say I've got some time to vested in it and I can't fucking wait
The only thing I Wish is that they allow to change the lock on button. As a Souls Game player I got very used to use R3 😅 still didn’t take long to get used to the new button mapping.
wtf where did that come out from it looks amazing
Been a fan of granblue fantasy for some years now and man I wouldn't be shocked if they do some collaborations in this game because in the granblue fantasy game they have done some many collabs I'm not joking my current team if luffy from one piece joker persona5 deku from my hero academia and itadori&fushiguro from jjk and seeing them in granblue fantasy artstyle is so 🔥
The clouds ... are astonishing !!!
Just bought this today. Absolutey love it
Must have full game now!
This game has been in development for what feels like forever. I would hope they would be confident with a demo. It was first announced in 2016 meaning it was already in development then.
wait, is this bg3 music in the background in the beginning
I have to agree with you I am blown away as well. It truly is and I look forward to seeing yoour coverage of this game. I appreciate your input and thoughts be blessed king 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Mate I have already spent 20hrs with the demo alone. JUST THE DEMO. What more the full game. I really cant wait for release, its been a very very long time coming!
Has anyone been able go play this on pc and was it stable? I played the ps5 demo but want to play on pc with friends and not seeing a demo on pc makes me concerned about the PC performance.
I knew nothing about this game or even the franchise prior to trying the demo. When I played the story mission I was impressed and had a good time. But then, when I went to the hub for missions, I was giggling with excitement. I haven't been this hyped for a game in a long time.
I only played the three quests available and that was enough to for me to preorder at my local gamestop
Great video as usual!
I played tales of arise while never knowing the franchise & scarlet nexus. Both games surprisingly good. Wished there was more to them especially scarlet nexus.
Never heard of granblue but after the demo, its better than both games ive mentioned.
More!? There's tons of tales games to play. Vesperia is my favorite, then probably Symphonia and Berseria. I liked Arise but the MC kinda rolled of me.
Tales of Rebirth has the best combat. That and Graces
This is my first experience in the franchise. Holy Cow!! I didn't know I needed an action rpg until I started playing this. I went in completely. I knew nothing about it. All the quests are so exciting!!
I can’t wait. I just hope I can change how the U.I. looks, cause it bugs me a bit. I don’t like too much stuff on the screen.
10:58 - Cat roll in the lower right corner.
it really looks like monster hunter, but will there be online matchmaking to take on missions together or are you limited to people you know?
There's matchmaking and also invite-only.
I really hope this game would sell really really well.🤞🤞🤞
I am just wondering if co-op be at least like Monster Hunter with a semi open world and we can tackle quests. Not just join, fight a boss monster or a wave.
Still one of the best channels on TH-cam. Every video gets to the point and keeps me interested all the way to the end.
Why is everyone going "cannot switch characters mid combat omg" just STOP!
omg...This game is like an action MMO, think of your characters as classes, because that's what they are, they have skills, roles and mechanics unique to each of them.
There is no game in which you can switch classes mid combat, and it further reinforces the fact that it is a class/role you are playing, plus it gets you use to multiplayer.
In regards to the game, is a main story scenario, then the duty/trials and the rest in the hub. This is great cause I rather have a hub and wait 1 minute for the start of the instance than be in an open world like FF14 and wait 20-40 minutes for a single instance while mindlessly moving around with no purpose. There will be over +100 instances, and more will be added in updates.
We have a total of 20 classes, plus another 2 in April for 22. That's a lot! And each of them with their trees and lv 100.
We don't know what the endgame is? Uhh we do? They will be adding extremely hard boss fights and raids. Have you checked the Lucilius boss fight? Fight looks rough, he can one shot you with like 90% of his attacks and aoe's and in the devs words: "Yeah...you are gonna need max level, max gear, a dedicated party and even then some real, REAL effort to take this guy down. Expect to wipe 20-40 times." Brutal.
People should approach this as an action-RPG and an action-MMO, only that we don't get the social aspect like an MMO does. We can still chat in the hub and emote, plus communicate in battle and use keyboards with pairing.
Nice video, thanks for covering the game!~ Waiting for my Deluxe Edition!
The game is great but I have 1 well maybe 2 ish big criticisms.
1. The effects on screen can be a bit much , it's hard to see your character sometimes with everything going on , especially if you choose a small person .
I hope its options to tone it down in the official release , I miss dodge's and blocks cus of it sometimes.
And
2. During the end of the 1st boss fight sometimes the game would glitch out and slow down until someone leaves the party .
So this is the series that has gifted us all the shortstack doujins
This is the series that paved way to certain (in)famous doujin artist success
@ekosubandie2094 asanagi and obui
Granblue is already on my game of the year list the end game is going to be bosses and raids, its a day one buy for me
Can't wait, thank you
as OG GBF player, I'm glad they keep the MMO like aspect of skill on every character (even tho MC lose their ability to switch classes), it do feels like you doing raid in MMO
Even if the mc losed the class change, the build variety is so vast, that you'll "discover your own classes" (as said by Sierrokarte VA during the Part 2 showcase).
If they add classes to gran, I'll go with KENGOOO ALL THE WAYYY LOL
@@goesfirmns6982 OUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is all good and pretty, but I want to know: What is the progression model? Horizontal or Vertical? If it's vertical, it wont be a game I'll play.
You should like Bobby in your summary if you use his music. I'm not trying to be combative just saying, give Borislav some love. Great videos lately!
Thank you! I will consider buying this
The UI reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Does that mean it's a similar system?
can I play it offline?
Jump and dodge feel weird to me, but the demo was great, only real thing stopping me from preordering is whether to get it on PC or PS5.
i think this will be a good game to introduce ppl to the jrpg genre
There's plenty of games like that already
I'd even say that description in the intro does a disservice to how great the game is
The demo rules! I am looking forward to this release.
i got the Radiata Stories feeling right away.. maybe i have to try this
