Anyone play this game? I'm probably going to roll for Setsuna once they've finished giving us free rolls.

setsuna has good sprite work going on but man rolling for collabs feels dirty.

I don't mind that much because of other games. The 1% rate is very good by Granblue standards too.
I wish the rest of the banner was better and their kits were a bit better but it's still a big improvement over Slime.

Where do you start with Granblue

>>1670456
Watch the first season of the anime then play Relink. You can play Relink without watching it but you'll miss out on some context, it's not a huge deal though.
Then if you want more you can move on to the gacha, but it is very old and outdated in 2025.

>>1670456
Read some Vira doujins back in mid 2016

as much as I am annoyed with a collab draw, at least they look to have given Evageline for free... please don't be a fucking summon

>>1671273
The summon is Asuna. I have no clue how they decide who to make summons because both Rakan and Eva would be more fitting than her based on Slime and JJK and MHA.

>>1671337
oh lame... I sorta assumed asuna was shoein to be playable. I sorta wanted both asuna and eva as playables and rakan as the summon.

>>1670456
Join your local community.

I don't remember much about Negima, don't think I stuck with it very long.
But I still probably would've been tempted to roll collab gacha if they put Eva in it.

>>1670270 (OP)
See: >>1661198

>>1671498
>Granblue not searchable on catalog

>>1670303
>it's still a big improvement over Slime
no??? it's still ass, they bumped it up to 4% and they didn't even have the common courtesy to put some extra, actually good units on rate up, this shit is so ass, and it'd be even worse if the units were actually good (they're not, and that's a good thing because of this format)
don't roll on this banner, or we'll be seeing this for the rest of grub's lifespan because they were shown it works, these people are too stupid to learn if they're not losing money

>1% rate up isn't significantly better than .5%
Yeah you're a dumbass

>>1671992
>1% more rate up is supposed to be significant
>meanwhile a 6% rate up (the only rate up players have always been encouraged to pull on) is running right next to it
just because other games have their own worse methods does not make this format good

See the thing is I'm talking about the odds of getting the thing you want while you're talking about the odds of getting some random bullshit. It's the same retarded ass logic that gets people to claim Grub is generous when that has never been the case.

>>1672000
>he odds of getting the thing you want
IT'S STILL LOWER
YOU'RE ROLLING WORSE ODDS FOR WORSE CHARACTERS
4 IS LOWER THAN 6
and you're right, grub has never been generous, but the collab banner is genuinely the least generous grub has been in a while

>>1670456
the anime adapts the worst, most generic part of the main story (the first arc). just skip it.

>>1672032
The current arc is the worst by far
The first arc is generic as hell but watching it is better than going into Relink blind

>>1672032
It adapts the worst arc, sure, but it makes it actually enjoyable.

>>1672032
>the anime adapts the worst, most generic part of the main story (the first arc)
You have no idea how much worse it's going to get.
I take it you must be someone who quitted the game at around nalhegrande.

>>1672063
I've played the whole thing. Bullshit asspulls that at least have some original ideas are still far more interesting than the completely generic basic-mobile-jrpg monster-of-the-week plot hunting down the first 4 islands' primals

even somewhere as slow as /vgm/ I can't post in the correct thread, I'm a fucking failure.

I don't wanna play the collab but a ten roll ticket is a ten roll ticket

doesn't take much to hit skip

that being said. I am really tired of overlapping events. really fucking tired of it, its like a fast track to burn out. is this really necessary to retain player engagement?

damn the granblue writers are horny for 10 year old boys i guess

>>1675013
The homoknights didn't clue you in years ago? They were just the first phase.

>>1677275
Can't blame him for skipping homoknight events if he did

oh hey free setsuna from the 10 roll from finishing the story. don't gotta roll at all now.

>>1679611
Same. It's almost like doubling the rate up does in fact make it easier to get the rate up character, despite anon's insistence otherwise.

They should've put Fraux on the valentines banner

anyone gonna roll for bun? she looks nice but I can't spare the crystal right now, typical for valentines really.

>>1682726
I'd say she was being saved for a sexy summer version, but since she has that outfit, I guess that's out of the question.

>>1683226
>No charge bar gain upon normal attacks
lol, it's funny they're still doing this shit. But I hope they're giving Bunny some character development with this release.

>>1683446
yeah I don't even roll based on gameplay anymore, I just want cute girls

>>1683446
guess they could go for yukata fraux

for me it's gwynne

>>1670270 (OP)
Used to, but stopped since many years back when I had dutifully snapped a few gets with certain weapons and characters. Now I just browse their wiki equivalent for character design references, and the highlights for my get were with rolling Tiamat, she cute.

>go on the /vg/ thread for the first time in almost 6 months to see if its gotten any better
>its gotten even worse.
I think I prefer this entirely dead thread desu.

>>1690583
The only reason to use /vg/ is for the guides in the header. You will unironically get better discussion in the occasional /v/ thread than over there.

the arcanum grind is insane it feels like im doing something wrong. is this supposed to take months just to uncap one evoker?

>>1692610
Yep, enjoy the ride.
Or you can wait till they rerun those arcanum tales for that specific evoker but in all honestly it only improve the grind by a little bit.

>>1692619
thats fucking ridiculous but at least i know im "on the right track"

>>1692628
Arcanum is literally everything wrong with grabble being packed into a packet. Annoying mechanics, confusing multilayered upgrade steps, insane amount of grind, badly balanced characters, and on top of that the total lack of simple QoL like skipping or batch clear since the devs are a bunch of assholes who enjoy torturing their players with their dino age game design philosophy.

What is this "arcanum" you are talking about?

>>1692645
yep been playing for years end only got two completely uncapped myself, its downright retarded and annoying.

>>1692521
it used to be better, with lots of worthless ritualposts but fewer schizos and at least some actual discussion. you could ask for advice on grids and teams and shit.
>>1692610
you are meant to get a 0 button setup for the zone mundus fights and then spend dozens of hours hitting start->back->back repeat while watching anime

>>1693066
they should just let people have a skip feature at that point, where's the logic?

>>1693212
Knowing the retards behind this game, even if they add skip feature it will be limited to 10 times per day.

>>1693212
that's the kind of autistic grind gbf players eat up. that's the core essence of guild war too

>>1693233
>>1693230
and they wonder why the game is just dying a slow death really.

>>1693267
It has been going on for 11 years anon, in their eyes, the game has done its job and probably paid back more than ten fold of the investment money they spent on it, not counting how much they wasted on relink. Anything else is just an extra bonus for them at this point. That's why the dynamic duo fucked off last year since they had nothing left to do in this game.

Horse?

>Super Cidala is a style change and not a new character
Surprising desu

>>1693271
no reason to make the game miserable to play though. infact if that was true the game should be the most pleasant thing to play ever, getting more and more QoL, instead its acting like a jaded cop that doesn't feel like its being paid enough.

>>1693490
Unfortunately, that's how the "core" players of this game want. They enjoy flaunting their status as no life autists who love grinding this game 24/7 and would throw a fit if the game becomes too easy for the newcomers.
They literally made a fuss on twitter not long ago when the devs extended the deadline for the weapon exchange ticket since some people forgot about it and complained that they were too soft on players who didn't treat this game as their second life.

>>1693496
a shame cause I still do like the world and its characters, but the game is an utterly miserable experience almost the full way through. and playing the game longer doesn't make it really any easier. you just realize you have even more compounding tasks to accomplish. I'll continue to pick away at the game at my own leisure I guess, but my try harding days are long over. I have better things to do. infact I probably might just quit next year after rolling the final zodiac.

Weird that they're introducing another 13 set of individuals when most don't think this game has two more years in it.

>>1696413
I find their treatment for horse is weirder.
What the fuck they are thinking?

>>1696466
It does make for a interesting development that apparently horse hasn't existed for the past 100 years. It makes me think
>We're not getting a horse Zodiac next year, we're getting Cat. Completely replaced.
>Bhaisa loses her Buddha shit somehow and has to replace Horse. However it wouldn't make sense to essentially design her twice.
>New Horse shows up at the end of the event safe and sound, shows up at the end of the year again, business as usual.
>We don't get a Horse or Cat, shift to Buddhas immediately
Too bad these kinds of events take a month, I want to know what happens next.
On a slightly unrelated note, do we know stream dates yet?

did they spruce up some of the art of the zodiacs? Andira and Mahira specifically look updated

>>1696680
They have some new art, you can see them in the main event page sometimes.

>need to get a weapon drop for this stamp shit since getting it from the helping raids missions doesn't count
Hate this shit

>lol I am 30, I am le old!
I am so tired of seeing this trope, I expected her to say 100s of years or something.

Worth spending pages on the final Ultima uncap set if I have no crew? No fucking way I'm clearing Subaha with randoms.

>>1696767
Relative to the zodiacs she is
Though it makes way less sense due to the last three zodiacs all being in their 20s

>>1696737
>got the SR weapon as drop and somehow it cleared the mission
Weird bug

>>1697477
Probably makes her feel even more self conscious
>Was already filling in for Horse when Payila was born

I know I shouldn't have rolled, but I did. and to punish my stupidity I didn't get who I wanted.

Stream is on the 8th, Saturday after the next.

I know this sounds odd but I actually love month long events and wish it was the norm. if only cause it gives me more time to slack ass 20 box.

>>1698394
I have mixed feelings. For instance I don't mind this one since I like the cast but some others like Homo Knights would feel like a chore. I just hope they add more stuff to do next week and the week after since I already got all the pages.

gibs soon?

>>1699169
Probably after the stream

Basara shows up surprising absolutely no one.

>>1700172
>is a spirit inside dog's sword
Why would he not show up?

>>1700809
He is also playable for 1 battle so there's our flash unit I guess?

Also free character confirmed. Maybe Cat?

>>1700873
did they confirm a character? cause silhouette alone looks like the style a summon would have.

>>1701085
Basara is playable on the event battle but that silhouette is different than the pic used for him in the battle

>>1701085
Almost the same wording they used for Raziel so there's no reason to assume it's a summon. Can't post WEBP files in this goddamned site for some reason, here's the link.
>https://gbf.wiki/images/6/66/Description_Heart_of_the_Sun_3_3.png

>>1700873
Could be anyone, with that.
I think I see some sword hilts off to the left side, maybe.
So I'm picturing them being against some battlefield background with piles of discarded swords.

>>1700873
>hears the wishes of all
Cat getting her wish and becoming a playable zodiac seems most likely. Basara I imagine will be an Another grand since him getting his wish and straight up coming back to life is dumb.

i have to fight dark rapture zero for mats but this looks impossible for me. i can never really tell when im supposed to be "ready" for some fights

>>1701411
I think Cat is the unit too since she is friends with the beast that grants desires but really, it's written so ambiguously that we won't know for real until it hits.

did I somehow miss the point where super cidala happens? I swear I read every chapter but both the story now and the DGA side bit mentioned it happening but I never saw it occur in the actual story. I feel like my game might have glitched out and it somehow just didn't play me that chapter.

>>1701704
Didn't it happen during their 100 fate? I thought it did

>>1701704
End of their dirt version's lv80 uncap fates, I think.
>Some dudes try to murder tigers
>Tigers are too sturdy to take any damage
>Tigers are also too dumb to realize they're being targeted
>Then the guys try poison, and it works
>Until Tigers merge as a kind of defensive reflex against it

>>1701717
Don't think it's 100, because I just noticed I still need to do their 100.

>>1701731
>>1701717
oh its not in the event itself... that makes a lot more sense then. I am really behind doing everyone's fates.

dang sankara isn't real and has likely long been dead. sad I liked her design.

Are there a lot of fat guys in GBF?

>>1702725
They're probably gonna make her playable at some point anyway because Basara sets up Dharma reviving or at least giving ghosts physical form

Basara is the grand so the free character is either Cat or one of the Buddhas. Also MSQ update in June, fucking finally

stupid sexy harvins...

Yeah, its anni time.

Event character is Joy. How disappointing.
Overall 7/10 event. The supporting cast is fun and the villains aren't bad. It just doesn't feel like a anni event though, also Joy taking the free character spot when it should've been Cat's kid is almost criminal.
Release Bhaisa you fucks

6/10 from me. the event itself is overall fun. but the choices with its content are beyond messed up.

>>1706268
I only rate it 7/10 because I like the zodiacs more than I should and the idea of the Buddhas seems pretty interesting desu
I don't think this game has it in it to produce great things anymore, telltale of maint mode games but at least I got to see them in action one last time before the game ends

>>1706272
yeah I rate it even 6/10 myself cause like you I enjoy the zodiacs. I just feel the choices for what we got as playables and such is just weird and well as you said. a sign of a game entering maint mode. in fact a lot of signs are there. the fact they don't even wanna bother finishing the zodiacs with the horse bloodline being dead. the free character being a char thats already been free before and certainly nobody new. and this being their big anniversary event yet having these issues... yeah not looking great.

I just skipped through the story. I haven't felt interested in gbf event stories in years, the only reason I read the rakugo event is Makura.

Summer banner next, thank god I saved my rolls

>>1706291
>don't even wanna bother finishing the zodiacs with the horse bloodline
But we are going to go find the horse bloodline, that was a big part of the end of the event.
>>1705839
I think an upgraded Joy is a fitting character to get though, since Joy and Joya are a big part of the whole zodiac thing.

>>1709684
>But we are going to go find the horse bloodline, that was a big part of the end of the event.
yes I spoke too soon I suppose on that one, but I still feel the same about joy. I would have liked to see just about anyone else as our free unit. personally I'd liked to have seen Shukra.

>>1709684
Zoi was also connected at one point, she even has a miko alt. Anyone connected to the Zodiac plotline would've been better than Joy as the free unit

>>1710953
I like Joy though and he got shafted by being a free unit in the era of SRs.
This way, he gets his upgrade and the characters like Shukra don't get fucked kits by being free.

of course I get the male... just wanted mahira. of course didn't get her.

>>1711708
I would trade Mahira if I could

>>1711727
I still got one pick ticke worth of moons left but I am feeling like I should probably save those, though not sure what for. I kinda expect some new bullshit with the moons to happen soon.

>>1711708
Same, except Ragazzo instead of either of the rate-up dudes.
Gonna spark chicken butt later, but there's still some more free rolls left.

I have to admit this was probably my luckiest free rolls ever. I got like 15 gold moons.

Next event is Rosamia focused, they finally remembered her

>>1717335
Also her SSR is getting the 5* this month.

I wasn't there for those times but it feels like Rosamia was very popular in the game's early years from what I see in R/SR content.

A lot of people ran her back in the day and she was the first R->SR->SSR promotion. I don't know if I'd say *very* but she was popular enough and had potential for growth.
She was held back by her SSR kit that had no support in light, no event presence other than a minor Lowain event cameo, and no swimsuit in over 11 years despite having big tits.
Just another character abandoned in KMR-era because she didn't come as part of a group.

>>1717434
She was decently popular. I wouldn't compare her to the likes of Vira or Naru, but she wasn't a literal who.
>>1717679
>Just another character abandoned in KMR-era because she didn't come as part of a group.
Birdman and Petra also got hit with this. Fucking Petra got her SSR last year, that's how long she got neglected.

>>1717831
petra ssr was released in 2015 anon
only got the 5* last year though. it also came with a rework that made her kinda relevant.

I haven't played Granblue in years and I feel the game is too old at this point to get back into it considering how much shit I missed, but I'm sad no modern game has managed to recreate its appeal.

I honestly feel the opposite... I want it to end already. I feel like I put in a lot of work into a game that I do not enjoy the mechanics of all for the sake of the occasional story or character that makes me briefly smile. I probably will honestly quit after new year next year, weather we get a horse zodiac or not.

>>1718204
I don't think it's ever too late, if you really want to.
Yeah, you'll have less stuff than if you played, but that's gacha.
I played, but I have less stuff than if I slacked off less.
Though you'd be starting back up right after a bunch of the anni freebies, which is less than ideal.

>>1718282
That's the nice thing about slacker mode.
You're not putting in a whole lot of work, but you still get the events and characters.

>>1718284
except I don't get crystals to roll doing that sadly. and I do like actually having some of these characters. I don't trust my free roll luck one bit.

Cast

so an uma has the other half of the mask.

>>1719225
Didn't think we'd find horse zodiac this fast, we've still got 3/4 of the year left.

>>1719225
Glad I'm not the only one seeing a uma collab hidden in plain sight

game decided to be really nice for once. didn't get mahira but it did basically had me my favorite zodiac, which is good cause this all the rolls I had though I didn't gold moon mahira so I could have had it came to that cause I can't not have vikki

>Vikala and Siete
Goddamn what a boring banner, back to ignoring grub until Summer

>ratragers don't play the game
As we already knew by her topping starred characters among active players.

why is it showing me the story blurbs for beating the arcarum bosses again... I thought they patched this long ago.

yes, i have played the game for about 2 years now, i even have a youtube channel where i post my builds

Ferdinand

sand in the valor badge shop huh

I can't decide if that's worth it or not it probably isn't

>Sparked Shukra 2 weeks ago
>Got 4 of the masked lesbo Uma
>2 of the new summon
I hear the summon is cracked? Also yes I know Shukra isn't limited but I wanted the sidebooba cat miko

Finished the new event. It's okay, the "plot twist" if you can even call it that is mid. The witch is sexo but she barely shows up and potato is pretty cool. The new Fiorito looks pretty damn nice. Guess they're releasing her this flash or something.

>>1734229
The only story line worse than the ascendants is the fag knights

>Kou Alt confirmed at Extra Fes
This also confirms a Fox event this month I guess

Should I farm Magna 3 Colo now that Fire GW is around the corner? Raid felt pretty slow but I assume more people are playing it now

>>1740048
What kind of stupid fucking question is this? No, you should farm M3 Chev instead even though its GW just ended.

>>1740068
What if everyone already farmed their m3s though

>>1740048
yes

Haven't played granblue since dragon tits zodiac came out. What I missed? I see Omega summons have a 5th star now. Feels like I missed a ton.

>>1741307
The wiki should have a timeline, you missed a bunch of shit to be honest some of it important, some of it forgettable so you're better off checking that

>linkspick ticket no longer allowing you to ticket summons until a year later

>>1741788
Cygames doing all they can to bury the zombie game

>>1741618
I see, I really did miss a lot. Does /vmg/ have any casual guilds that don't require discord to join? I'm rank 210 and was slowly been creeping into advanced builds(from the wiki) before I left.

zamn, you missed

>m3 raids with magna summon transcendence and all new weapons/grids
Glad they buffed omega summons but fucking hate these enternals style transcendence.

>new classes shieldsworn, onmyoji, boogeyman
How are these new classes? So far I leveled the first 2 to 20 for the support skill and will work on boogi later.

>all eternals got megabuffed, several of them actually meta once more
That's good to hear, I barely touched my enternals. Same for envokers really. My highest for either is maybe lvl110.

>sierokarte's kindergarten /knickknack academy added which gives low rank players a bunch of free shit to help them reach endgame faster (you should check it out)
Yeah once I came back, 6 of each element stage auto cleared and gave me free stuff. Then it was just 1 quest I needed to finish and auto cleared all of stage 7. So now I'm at stage 8.

>new farmable "four saints" (there are six of them) characters added to ROTB, as part of recruiting them you also get a wonder that gives small permanent buffs to that element
Oh so that's who these girls are. I guess it was only a matter of time before they turned the beasts into little girls like with Six Dragons.

All the other QoL is fucking nice though.

>>1742574
I don't think we have any crews, you're unfortunately gonna have to resort to discord if you're planning to tackle high level content.
>>1742759
> I guess it was only a matter of time before they turned the beasts into little girls like with Six Dragons.
The 4 main girls are basically people tasked with slaying their respective elemental beast but they couldn't for reasons. I forgot what the light and dark ones are though (tbf I didn't even read the light dude's fates yet)

Flash is Cog and Clarisse duo unit plus the Kou unit they spoiled at the Fes earlier in the month

>>1742928
And Kou

>>1742928
>lazy duo units with their basic designs.
I thought 2018 was 7 years ago.

So whats the deal with this Cags? Is she from the duo unit's fate episodes or something?

>>1742988
Cagliostro did some fuckery cause the new Goblin girl called him Uncle. I guess he wanted to look more feminine.

>>1742759
>How are these new classes?
Pretty good, all see use. Onmyo is mainly for manual but has a place in FA CA teams, especially in earth with the exo dagger.
Shieldsworn is a defensive FA class with respectable damage considering.
Boogie does a lot of skill damage and spams dispels and self-only dodge all, good for GW and some revans raids.

>>1742988
>Cag becoming a doraf is canon
I feel alive

Dread Barrage is so nice

Forgot how awful it was to grind for master levels, even grinding on slimes on the weekend sucks. I don't know how I did it for 20 something classes.

>>1744846
I just wait for one of those 10x events or similar, and slime then.

Should I return to the game? Anything noteworthy has happened?

>>1746263
Not really, only people with severe sunk cost fallacy are still stuck with this game and ready to go down with it.

>>1746263
The game is pretty dead, even gw numbers are going down so unless you want to see how the boat sinks there's no reason to come back.

I've never played one of these Eternals events. What do we even do? Just clear stages and maybe get crystals and mats?

>>1746557
Beat bosses to get go-points, to progress along a board game style path.
Go along the path to get event currency, random junk, and chances at the bigger bosses.
Go far enough and you get a blue bar, which can unlock some eternal buffs.

>First Lap's Extreme only gives 12 points
Man is this right? Is there any way to increase the yield?

>>1747768
You get some extra steps from the daily and general missions.
There's also a rare spawn that gives more steps.
Other than that, nope.

>Grimnir event
I wonder which RoB imports are we getting this Leg, if any considering they love dragging their heels. These next 2 are gonna be big bait banners, Summer is just around the corner.
