Granblue Fantasy : Relink does a fantastic task of presenting a compelling story in which both series veterans and newcomers will be plunge due to the developer ’s power to seamlessly intertwine returning and new fictional character and lore and provide a continuous flow of emotional fib points . As the game get , the main quality and his or her gang of Skyfarers are bound for adventure . A tortuousness arises in the form of a mysterious girl to whom the independent character partake in a link , named Lyria . This intriguing character reference can both contain and command primaeval beasts ; a ability that is unsurprisingly seek out by many who would utilize it for nefarious purposes , and as such , the plot of the secret plan begins to unfold .
The charming and diverse casting of graphic symbol in Granblue Fantasy : Relink is where the story sputter brightest . With an immediate plaster bandage of nine graphic symbol , 12 extra character , and four enemies , there is someone certain to enrapture every actor , whether they be a returning favorite or an exciting entrant .

They provide worthwhile stat boosts on completion to further barrack one to participate in these emotional and insightful character snip .
A Battle System Where Simplicity or Complexity is Up to You
Granblue Fantasy : Relink differ importantly from the late two entries in the series . Cygames has moved from the fighting genre to an legal action roleplaying game , allowing the world of Granblue Fantasy : Relink to come alive . With two fighting game under their whang , scrap was potential to be fantabulous , and Cygames has surpassed even those expectation . armed combat consists of going from one large - scale leaf genus Bos fight to another , with much more manageable smaller rout in between . Each scrap with a boss is frantic and redoubtable . It almost feels like a four - player foray because each honcho swash a considerable amount of HP , with a wide and varied move consortium that expands as the battle progresses .
Not only are they tough , but each hirer has a manner bar , which depletes with damage taken . When the cake is empty , the boss will enter Overdrive mode , which makes it far more ferocious . Thankfully , the same is true in reverse , as when in Overdrive mode , taking damage will whittle off the streak , result in the boss introduce Break mode . In Break mode , party extremity can dish out importantly more damage . Battles can be foresighted , but they go forward to finger sweet and engaging due to the expand move pool and constant need to be on high alerting .
There is a superfluity of mechanics that one must understand to be able to master the battle system . Each engagement lie in of the main character and three extra characters to make up the four - thespian party . Every character can fit a weapon that has the potential to be upgrade by increasing its degree and uncapping it at the Blacksmith . character can have four skill at any one time , which can be rotated between at will , with the ability to unlock more by spending MSP in the Masteries tab . Each character , skill , and attack has an primary dimension impute to it , and each enemy has an constituent that they are both strong against and imperfect against . Each character can equip Sigils reinforce buffs to round , HP , ingredient boosts , and more . A character ’s mental ability to fit Sigils increases through additional unlocks via the Masteries tab .
“ … a memorable and worthwhile experience , full of traditional and nostalgic roleplaying charm that somehow perfectly blend in traditional Granblue Fantasy serial publication elements with engage new mechanics to land the serial publication to a broader audience . ”
Each character can perform unequalled Skybound Arts , a special flack specific to them . A sinewy chain attack burst is set off when the party touch off them in fast succession . Link clock time is another car-mechanic that can facilitate in conflict and is initiated when the Link stratum is 100 % and each party member has performed a Link flack . This benefits the party by cater more attack power , HP restitution , and quicker cooldowns for their skills while the enemy suffers concentrate movement .
The game itself is rather straightforward . You will notice yourself die from object to object lens with one-dimensional path in between . There are a twosome of towns that you’re able to visit that turn as hub and kick downstairs up some of the one-dimensionality . Otherwise , the address is very clearly identify by the area around you , and in areas slightly wider than usual , there are other guidance methods . Because the game thrusts you from story point to floor point , it can be finished on the inadequate side of what roleplaying biz unremarkably clock in at .

As of this review article , I have put 26 hours into the game , a substantial amount of which consists of post - gamy play . Post - game play includes completing various quest via NPCs in the hub city , and at the Quest Counter . You ’ll frequent this location if you design on unlocking additional characters , undertaking co - op quests , and experiencing every human emotion during Fate Episodes .
Granblue Fantasy : Relink includes a range of handiness options that render an chance to modify the overall trouble point . These options leave anyone , disregarding of skill stratum , to enjoy the secret plan in their own manner . There are three base difficulties – Story , Action , and firmly . The former being story - rivet and the latter armed combat - focused . The developers have also include an Assist Mode for combat . Allowing the player to play freely , have the character utilize all attack compounding and skills by press a single button with Assist Mode or initiate automatic attack by simply walking toward an enemy with Full Assist Mode . None of these options modify the secret plan , so players can choose any trouble or story of help without penalty .
Remarkable Graphics and Memorable Soundtrack Bring Zegagrande to Life
Graphically , the game face gorgeous . It is distinctly manifest that Cygames has worked hard to bring the vivid character designs that the game is get laid for to life as 3D models . Every element of the secret plan , non - playable fictional character , foe , and range of surroundings , have been fondly crafted to pit the game ’s recognisable storybook - esque mellow fantasy style .
The grade for Granblue Fantasy : Relink only lift the beautiful scene thanks to the melodious mastery of Nobuo UematsuandTsutomu Narita . The duad have work together in previous Granblue Fantasy titles , amongst other games , and it is no surprise that Granblue Fantasy : Relink ’s soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment for every moment of the game , from the emotional high and Sir David Low to acute political boss battles , and revelations . Many tracks throughout the biz are bound to find a special place in any playlist which odes to picture game music .
Granblue Fantasy : Relink may have suffer substantial delay , but the end termination is a memorable and worthwhile experience , full of traditional and nostalgic roleplaying charm that somehow utterly immingle traditional Granblue Fantasy series elements with pursue novel mechanism to bring the series to a broader hearing . It is clearly a labour of love that incorporates all of the best elements of a game of its genre and presents them back to the thespian in a beautiful world which one will not require to miss .
