Why did Cygames abandon this game?
>>690543067they thought they were slick and could pull another uma
>>690543067>release bunch of free updates/characters that's pretty much meaningless>dipsI genuinely believe the initial success was a huge surprise to everyone in the company and they just didn't know what to do going forward
>>690543067Sucked too much homoangels cock they crashed and burned.
Not every game needs to be a never ending live serviceI got 100 fun hours out of this game and felt fulfilled, I regret nothing, Ill probably revisit in a year or two as a different character
>>690543957I think a lot of people just expect some kind of DLC or expansionBut I guess Cygames care more about the fightan kusoge that played by literally nobody
>no BangBraveBangBravern video game>no Akiba Maid War video gameFuck Cygames what's the point of making kino anime if you're not going to milk my wallet with a shitty game too?
>>690544064>>690543067Development is done. Cygames Osaka is on Project Awakening now.
>>690543067why are you fucking retards paying for an ad?
I wanted to wait for Vira before buying the game. But seems that hope is lost now that the game is dead
>>690543819The game has been out for 10 years, it's only recently that the original directors fucked off and the new ones are trying to kill it for some reason.There's gotta be some massive backstabbing going on inside that company.
grubsister... it's over...
>Solo game dies after everyone finished itWhat's the problem? It was a really fun game and got free content. Had plenty of fun 100%ing it.
>>690544412more like project sleeping
>>690543957Every game doesn't need to have live service, period.
>>690543067Did they?You sure they're not just making some DLC?
I had lots of fun with it and with my friends. I admit I wanted more but it fulfilled its purpose as game.
>>690543067I played for 100+ hours and it felt complete. I don't mind the game not having more updates.
They killed the game just to make me suffer
>>690543067abandon what?... they released the game with the updates they promise. this was not a live service gameand it was pretty good. didn expected that quality on set peices. i like it a lot
Who do you want in Relink 2 bros?
>>690543067Game should have been a live service game
>>690543067>abandonIt was never meant to be a live-service game after the few characters they added. We have known this even before release.
>>690548738You should have been aborted
>>690543067No costumes besides pallet swaps and one for Graan.99% of the post-game is pallet swap as well.Garbage multiplayer.This game was average as fuck.
>>690544762People mind broken by the normalization of live service games and unfinished releases failing to comprehend that sometimes a game can just be finished
>>690543067i hope they go full PSO mode for the 2nd game extended hub etc actually just straight up copy all of PSO
>>690543067I remember when it was first announced and I thought it was gonna be a really cool JRPGAnd then as they started showing stuff off for it years later it's like... a monster hunter boss raid thing? I guess I was just disappointed from what I heard from others about how it plays, haven't picked it up.
>>690544762It was a coop game where you're supposed to hunt bosses together but there was a pitiful amount of bosses in the game and the rune grind was unfulfilling. If it got an expansion it would've actually been a fulfilling experience but now it just feels like missed potential and a half baked game. MHW launched with more things to do and grind for than this game
>>690543067I only bought this to have the gacha codes for the mobile game
>>690550278kek
>>690544082Theres not even any good akiba maid war merch or figs eitherLike goddamn. the most kino anime in recent history and it has nothing. It actually makes me very upset how it gets nothing.
>>690544064It's not getting an expansion. It might get a sequel.>>690550931>MHW launched with more things to do and grind for than this gameMHW is part of a fairly old Capcom series and has sold 20mil units. Relink was the first real Cygames release and barely pushed 1mil. It is insane to compare them as though Relink was ever supposed to be able to compete.
They shat on everything granblue in general
>dude it's finishedAll except for I swear to God I thought "Mr. Fixit" (I forget his real name) was fully playable in the files or something and was supposed to be released in an update or something? What ever happened with that?
Because Cygames is one of the most critically retarded companies in japan. Everything they do is idiotic. Be happy the game released at all.If you really want more relink theres another JP company that is making a gacha clone of it.
>>690548460my wife
>>690545935True but ReLink could use a better roster
>>690555385what game
>>690555319>All except for I swear to God I thought "Mr. Fixit" (I forget his real name) was fully playable in the filesWell yeah, he had a full moveset since he was an AI partner at points>was supposed to be released in an update or something?Nobody except schizo theorists ever claimed that
>>690555385What is it called anon-sama?
>>690555118Isn't Granblue supposed to be one of the biggest gacha series ever and rakes in tons of cash?
>instead of going for one of their more popular settings and templates from events in the gacha, they went with the most generic cookie cutter year1 msq-tier story>roster feels like a committee mandated picks like versus instead of anyone actually interesting from their fuckhueg cast of characters to choose from>traditional mission based structure when everyone else is going for a more immersive experience>visual effect overload out the ass and hitting things don't feel like hitting anything despite all the numbers filling up your screen, cooldowns in an action gamegee OP I wonder why
>>690555529>rakes in tons of cashI'm pretty sure horse pussy is CyGames' cash cow
>>690555529that hasn't been true for at least 5 years
>>690544650>it's only recently that the original directors fucked off and the new ones are trying to kill it for some reasonDidn't KMR mention that the new staff has been directing the game in secret for the past couple of years, which just happened to coincide with when the game started to get massive enshittification?

>>690544412That look sfucking dogshit
>>690556258Draph popularity is almost exclusively a US thing, murricans love fat bitches
>>690555740wow when you said a clone you weren't kidding. except they didn't clone the part where it's a good gamebut damn I sure do hate gacha games and what happened to granblue made me completely swear off any and all for all eternityit sucks because it means it's the second time i've had characters i love trapped in garbage>>690555696yes. the game had a noticeable decline for the past couple of years that could've been explained by a temporary moving of staff, focusing on relink/rising and then the summer stream happened and confirmed all my fears that it's just a cash squeeze piloted by a skeleton crew.>>690555568>>roster feels like a committee mandated picks like versus instead of anyone actually interesting from their fuckhueg cast of characters to choose fromsame shit in the gacha itself. the only releases nowadays are alts for characters with half a dozen alts. and even if an interesting character gets new content, everyone is now in a fucking endless flandarized limbo where they'll never actually grow or change in any meaningful way. it's like a fucking saturday morning cartoon keeping the status quo after each episode.
>>690555478But why not release him? You can play him with mods. he's already fucking programmed to be playable.I'm assuming they don't because balancing issues?
>>690556321hmm yes thats why naru, aliza and sheep are so unpopular
>>690543067re:link was always just a excuse to sell preorder bonuses for the gacha
>>690556387>I'm assuming they don't because balancing issues?Nah, it's just CyGames being retarded as usual. They could easily make him balanced
>>690556161japs love draphs, the devs just refuse to give them content
>bitch because playable males>now bitch because a male isn't playableHate.
>>690556605>japs love draphs,They love them so much they fuck up and draw them the same size as normal humans most of the time.
>>690556657all me btw
>Only game that has Harvins so can't drop it>Harvins get no fucking content in the gameForever mad.
>>690555740>character switch buttonSorry, I fucking hate this shit. No idea why gacha fags love it so much.
>>690556657>everyone is one person
>>690548460Andira, Gandalf, Vajra, Yuel, Socie, Grea, Medusa, Satyr, You, and just primals in general.
>>690543067i wish they'd add more characters. i can't believe we waited like 6 years for Re:Link just for support to conclude like 6 months after release.
>>690557942You made me remember the SEA autist who was constantly crying about the game not having a character switch button in the Relink threads during release
>>690543067Why did you post the same question twice?
>>690557942why wouldn't they? they get to use the hundred of dollars they spent for each character all at once
>>690543067it was outdated before it even released>abandonedit's a completed (and bad) game
Relink is getting invisible updates, just like it makes invisible revenue. Please understand.
Yup/gbfg/ is here
>>690543067Cygames only released it to begin with because they had promised they would for 6+ years. Now that it's out they probably never want to deal with it again.
>>690555529It used to be but even then, it's still a shitty browser game. None of their experience making it carried over to Relink. Well, at least not in a positive way. Character quests being shitty fate episodes instead of an actual part of the world/story, the focus on homos as though their fujo fans play real games, etc. all come from being gacha devs and drag the game down.
>>690555568>instead of going for one of their more popular settings and templates from events in the gacha, they went with the most generic cookie cutter year1 msq-tier storyThis is the most praiseworthy part of the game though?
>>690559290>the focus on homosNone of the guys are gay, they are for yumes.
>>690556794read koregura bro, harvinchads are eating good in october
>>690556387They accidentally made Box the strongest braindead character and their solution to that is just to make Sandals even stronger than Box.
>>690559527Lanvane are not for yumes. Perci, sure. Sandal is simultaneously for everyone and nobody.
>>690559689>Lanvane are not for yumesThey sure aren't for each other. Not with Vane actually wanting a wife and kids.
>>690543067Too much porn
>>690559874Doesn't really matter how Cygames writes them in one event appearance when they make entire fucking units like this.
>>690543067Not enough fujos
>>690561184>friendship>but let's let fujos taint it
So when are they making a game where you romance qts in between killing giant monstersI need intense draph handholding
>>690550931It was different. Some grind was fun to coop (Proto) and some grind could be done AFK.Wether you play coop or not doesn't matter for difficult raids.Also the gameplay is nothing like MH.
>>690555568>traditional mission based structure when everyone else is going for a more immersive experienceThat's a plus, not a con>visual effect overload out the assTrue for brainlet and 30fps cucks>hitting things don't feel like hitting anything despite all the numbers filling up your screenBig lie>cooldowns in an action gameNothing wrong with that. The game handles fights very well.
>>690543067The game is very poorly designed for the long run
>>690543067>live service games have given you fucking retards such massive brain rot you can't fathom that a developer wants to just release a finished product instead of milking you infinitelyThey have the gacha for that
>>690543819I didn't even bother picking it back up again for the new characters and the update after that. I already played the game enough and it didn't seem worth getting back into for.
>>690543067fujos didnt buy it and they only care about fujos, that's why the only content it ever got was gay angel shit
>>690556794she was ROBBED
>>690543067I put like 200 hours into it at release. That's pretty good for a non live service game and would like a sequel more than just updates. Too much live service garbage polluting the market now.
So what are the chances for a sequel?Maybe one with an actual plot. Relink just had a short intro into what felt like the last 2/5ths of a normal RPG.
>>690557942Gacha games don't want to leave phones behind even though they should have done it a long time ago so some characters have to be relegated to being one button buffsluts
>>690569116in the 8 years it would take them nobody would remember what Granblue is
Play Princess Connect insteadGranblue girls are added one after another now that the GBF ship is sinking
>>690569116It feels like that because you are supposed to have played through the gacha story already
>>690569116no sequel, at best you're getting a "rising" super edition like granblue versus.
>>690569257they said its not necessary but it absolutely is, not that it makes it anyway better since the setting is in dire need of a hard reset and multiple retcons>>690569226>djeeta, rat, vampi*yawn* wake me up when it gets draphs and erunes
Seems like everyone is hankering for a new ORPG like PSO and GW1. Wonder why nobody has jumped into fill the empty space yet.
>>690569226make an actual game instead of gacha and I'll probably give it a try
>>690569460as if gbf has done anything with draphs and erunes in the last few years besides actively contradict their own lore and say humans cant produce offspring with them
>>690543067none of gbfs great coomer characters ever got in, disappointment.
>>690569832All the Dragon knights are in though?
>>690569789that's beside the point retardyour argument was that people should play priconne cause it gets gbf characters, but it doesn't get the characters I and probably a lot of other people play gbf for
>>690569832>implying cog and charlotta aren't peak coomer characters
Reminder that 2 out of 5 rarest trophies involved Ghanda. That's how little that piece of turd was used.
>>690570760Good thing they dropped Metera to include him.
>>690570116>cogthat’s a man
>>690570036Hey man I played GBF for them too, I'm just realistic about what gay boys fantasy is now.I figure I'm about as likely to get new Heles content in Priconne as in GBF, ie 0%
>>690571208And?
>>690571213Sure, just saying I couldnt give two shits about Priconne with just Djeeta, Vampy and Rat
I wanna go on another adventure!
>>690550196hell yeahfantasy pso pick your race and make your own granblue dude
>>690550196>2nd gameBro...
>>690555927>as opposed to anniversary angel slop?They put that in too.
Today I will remind them

No Magisa. No buy
>>690573348granblue is already dead anon, no matter how much you spend on it or defend its honor online
Extreme draph breedingDrinking draph milk every day
>>690543067Is this supposed to be a single player action RPG?
>>690574695
I still await
>>690576214Yes but also kind of no, you can do everything with the bots but they arent that great and you need to grind a lot to have the full 4 party (playable + 3 bots) strong enough to do the endgame raids. I dont think its really worth it to try and do those single player. But there is still tons of content to go through solo with the story and most raids before Proto Bahamut at least
Every single time these devs release something they put their mascot character in sandals instead of bare feet and i decide not to look at it.
>>690577474Lyria's newest fest art is bare foot again, I wonder why its just the spinoffs where this happens
>>690543067Relink... lost...
>>690543067when will it go on sale so I can pick it up
>>690577273you'll be waiting until doomsday
>>690544064It hasn't even been a year yet. It can still get an expansion.
>>690543067>censored slopshouldve never succeeded in the first place
https://www.nexusmods.com/granbluefantasyrelink/mods/335?tab=postsThe region lock severely hampered the online experience. Thankfully someone made this mod, but it shouldn't have required it.
>>690578028nope, enjoy your granblue versus updates!
>>690543067cute Io
>>690578028If they dont announce one on Grubfest this December then I think hope for one is lost. Maybe anniversary stream is a chance still too. They didnt expect the popularity it got so might have only started working on some more stuff after the launch and it takes time, likely wouldnt want to make promises too early again like with the base game
>>690578172I'd rather they make a sequel. Relink was a great game, but it has a lot of stuff I'd like worked out or improved in a sequel instead of it just getting more content.Here's what I want for a sequel:>longer campaign>Id as the main character (console games follow Id's adventure and the gacha follow Gran's adventure so the console games aren't just the equivalent of event quests with no stakes)>more complex basic combos, the game is too reliant on skills>better/stronger basic enemies, past a certain point regular enemies that aren't bosses can't do anything to you>better online system, no region lockThere's probably more I'd like, but that's all I can think of for now.
What is with Japan and games that become really bad after they hit their 10 year anniversary?Granblue Fantasy, FFXIV, Fate/Grand Order, etc. It's like they planned to slowly make them shit around the 10 year mark.
>>690578854Developers get tired after spending so much time on the same shit. Then they either fuck off and move to other projects and only ones left are new guys who dont actually understand the game or have no similar passion for it, or the guys stay but they simply burn out. In grub case its the second one, we have had the same writers writing events since the first year of the game. The newest writer was hired in 2019 and no new ones since then. Artists are seemingly exact same too when you look at and compare the artist contributions to GrubFest done yearly.

>>690582395Granblue was always for fujos you loon
>>690582395Nothing was actually contricted. They had just been completely silent about if it could be done or not until then. They refused to answer to the question in streams or in emails and talked around it, there are few mentions of "Well we are different races so we cant be siblings obviously" among other hints for it just no hard confirmation until now. Its a retarded decision but it is in line with everything said before in the game
>>690543067>no Andira, Lily, Cidala, Sara, Aster, Yaia, Medusa, etc as playablethey literally asked the game to flop lmao
>>690582789No they very specifically answered that there are no half breeds and children between different races are just randomly one of the parents races and there are MULTIPLE ongoing plotlines about marriage and kids with women of other races. sadly we live in the age of faggot propaganda
>>690583950>Aliza and Stan are a couple>Aliza needs to procure a heir, but after the reveal that only humans and dragons can crossbreed, that means Aliza can’t have a child with StanLel. 0 thought went when they wrote that in.

>>690578854after 10 years the product makes them enough money that they keep it up but direct the talent to new products.
>>690584543The only mention with them is Crystalia breeding in Lily fates with the Propagation champer joke since they dont have men in their race
>>690584939So what about the human and erune from rabbit's fates that are very specifically blood related? What about Alliah saying that she can bear your children? What about the countless other examples of this, including humans having children with literal aliens? How do you explain those?
>>690578854theres usually a change in overall employees after 10 years bro. the people who made base pso2 for example are not the same people making pso2 ngs.
>>690578854I can tell you this specifically from PSO2, the original team goes off to make the next game and actual faggot retards take over and ruin the original
>>690544628They bait and switched with this girl so much, it's unreal.

>>690587515not a draph but I will accept her gargantuan tiddy
>>690587765They still keep making these stupid fucking things for her.
>>690543957The thing is, Cygames clearly wanted Relink to be exactly that: a "never-ending live-service game". The only reason why Relink got delayed so much wasn't just because they restarted from scratch after booting Platinum Games. It's because Cygames wanted to add like dozens and dozens of characters from the gacha. The delays were because of how excessively ambitious Cygames was being with Relink.
>>690587953they're great, one of the few pieces of good granblue merch
>>690588098>Cygames wanted to add like dozens and dozens of characters from the gachathen they added like 4
>>690588098>Do you have a source for any of your claims? They stated well before release that it won't be a live service game and they'll only add a couple characters and bosses after release
When are they going to let me use Ultra Robo Grand God Kaiser in Versus?
>>690555423why her back so bent?
>>690588380sorry that is too heterosexual
>>690588098>It's because Cygames wanted to add like dozens and dozens of characters from the gachaThat was just the artist saying he wanted all of the characters added when asked which one he specifically wanted.
>>690543067They should have released this game like 6-7 years ago, back when GBF was at its peak. It would have been far more successful then.
>>690590743the cast might have made slightly more sense then too
>>690589576lol
>>690543067Soulless art style.
>>690584518>Imagine a Yakuza/Hitman kind of game where you expand your territory and fight other cafes.Even if you could pitch them the idea you bet your ass it would end up being Akiba Strip but with guns.
>>690590743They tried doing that but something went wrong on Platinum's side and so Cygames had to develop the game on their own, but then they took way too long to release it, probably because they didn't a lot of experience with action games development.
>>690576079>Draph milkThe monkey paw curls...
>>690587515SHE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>690596302>Something went wrong with platinum Yeah they used the money for other projects while only doing the bare minimum on GBFR to not get ditched
>>690597550lol no, cygames wanted to pretend they were real true gamedevs and 7 years later put out a worse game than what it was in 2016You retards will act like Project Awakening having nothing to show after a decade is Platinum's fault too I'm sure
>>690597128No one can stop her
>>690543067Well, I put like 300 hours into it, no regrets, more stuff to do would have been welcome but I certainly enjoyed my time with it.
>>690599791please post more IoBest girl
>>690600268
>>690555740>comments are full of people shitting on the gameplayare phonefags finally evolving into wanting semi-good gameplay
>>690597550Pretty sure the source for that info was :>trust me broSo we can't say for sure that Platinum was the one to blame here, even though it's obvious that they got big management problems too.
Is the retarded tranny localization still in this game?
>>690603797Yes
>>690543067Isnt it ancient?
>>690604113It came out on january
>>690603596again, if it was a platinum problem why is project awakening faring even worse?
>>690588098>Cygames clearly wanted Relink to be exactly that: a "never-ending live-service game".No they didn't. The devs said themselves they hadn't planned for Relink being as successful as it was

This and Armored core 6 were genuinely the most fun I had in a really long time. I just wish starting to gear other characters didnt take so long. I wanted to master and play every character, but in the end I only ever played 3 and never branched out because of the grind. ah well..

I'm sure I'll pick this up on a steam sale a year from now and have a blast with it on my own time.
