■ Q&A
- Q1: Is Granblue Fantasy: Relink a side story, or is it related to the main storyline in the original game?
- “Although Granblue Fantasy: Relink fits into the original game’s story, we wanted to make a plotline that even Granblue newcomers could enjoy. Think of it as a stand-alone story in the wider Granblue universe!”
- Q2: Will the game be a complete experience, or will it continue to get content updates like a live service game?
- “We’re working hard to make Granblue Fantasy: Relink the full package—including a story that wraps up nicely. We’ve planned future support for players who want to get the most out of the game, including epic battles and all the surrounding content.”
- Q3: Can you switch characters during battle, or do you change them before missions and certain areas?
- “You can’t change your characters during battle. You’ll need to gear up in town beforehand, but you can change your party at certain times while out in the field. Also, save points allows you to replenish potions and upgrade equipment. These are your available party members at the early stages of the game, and you’ll be able to change between Gran / Djeeta freely. Playing through the story will allow you to unlock new crew members in whatever order you wish!”
