Cygames reinvested part of the massive profits coming from its mobile games in doing something that many Japanese developers tend to neglect, and that’s achieving bleeding-edge technology that can stand on par with the best western studios. The natural next step is the debut in the console market, which will happen with Granblue Fantasy Relink and Versus. In four years the game has seen massive evolution, with a story that now spans several titles, tens of new characters, a dreamy soundtrack that keeps expanding, and even a great anime series that will soon move into its second season. The only thing that’s missing is the “Final” in the name, but I will go out on a limb and say that it may have surpassed its fairly obvious inspiration.
It plays like classic Final Fantasy, and it even sounds like it. Does this all sound familiar? It’s basically the Final Fantasy game many of us have wanted for years and that Square Enix never actually made in its strange pursuit of less traditional stories.
