Granblue Fantasy: Relink Review | Kakuchopurei

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a beautiful burst of fantasy anime colours with a good amount of substance to keep your action RPG tendencies sated. The wait for its release was a long one, but in gameplay, character selection, and music, it delivers to its fans and any action RPG fan looking for a Monster Hunter-like clone without the control “nuances”.

" think it’s pretty common for JRPGs to have heavy dialogue and story-telling but what needs to happen is that JRPG developers need to show more than tell the story. It feels a little like you’re being spoonfed instead of experiencing the magic itself. "

I completly disagree. With this. Would any reviewer say the same about ff7 remake, tales of arise.

CrimsonWing69134d ago

I'll be honest, I was really pumped for this from the trailers, but when I played the demo... it just was missing that punch I was expecting. I sort of felt it was B-Tier for a game kind of on the level of a Gust developed game. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad from what I played, but it definitely felt like 7/10 game to me from the demo.

Eonjay134d ago

I actually was not sure if this was for me but then WHEN I played the demo, I really enjoyed it and made it a day one for me. So everyones different as ever lol.

phoenixwing134d ago

Gust games aren't really b tier to me imo

VincentVanBro134d ago

Same, I canceled my collector's edition pre-order after playing the demo. The gameplay and storytelling seemed fairly shallow. Lots of expositional bloat in the dialog scenes.

FinalFantasyFanatic133d ago

@Phoenixwing,
Really? They always feel like AA tier to me, and I'm okay with that, I still enjoy most of them.

FF7 Remake and Tales of Arise both showed the story instead of telling it. No idea what you are on about. Haven't you played any JRPGs that had "filler" dialog that went on and on without really adding to the plot?

Angyobangyo133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Not every reviewer has played those games.

VincentVanBro134d ago

Seems like a shallower version of Monster Hunter with an added story that is barely worth telling.

GoodGuy09133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Hmm I'll wait for other reviews. The game was in quite the development hell. It unfortunately has looked generic to me with every new trailer and gameplay.

May have to wait for a sale and just enjoy persona 3 reload for now.

jznrpg133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Never heard of this site before. I am not worried about opinions from other people it’s day one for me.
It is strange to have a unknown site be first before everyone else. I am not saying their opinion isn’t valid but it does make me skeptical of their review.

I know the general story of this game having watched the anime. I don’t now if it’s a retelling of the anime or a side story but either way I’ll be playing with friends on Friday.

notachance133d ago

Where are everyone else’ review? It’s already past the embargo date isn’t it?

jznrpg133d ago

It is today Jan 31st this site broke embargo to be first. The rest of the scores seem to be 8-10

Yep Xbox absolutely knocked it out of the park with that stunning show, it was everything a gaming showcase should be, games games and games, well done team Xbox.

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago

It really did. Like I came out of that with the hype for new games I haven’t felt since… well the better years of E3.

monkey6021d 8h ago

It was without a doubt one of the better showcases in years. There was plenty there that excited me. Something has been lacking in years on all platforms

EasilyTheBest1d 6h ago

It was an amazing showcase I loved everything about it. Can't wait to play some of those games.
What's going on. 4 comments & no negatives yet. Wow, what's going on with N4G.

ThinkThink1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Show was so good, it made me forget about that blue dragon rumor until the next day. Too many games to process.

10AM PT/1PM ET/6PM london time.
on June 9th.

this is so odd. we had ps before the summer fest and now xbox after.

lelo2play3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Summer Fest and the Sony show were both crap, let's hope Microsoft and Ubisoft shows are decent.

(the way this is going, I'm not asking for good/great shows, simply asking for decent shows...)

I miss E3.

RupeeHoarder3d ago

State of Play is a 30 minute sizzle reel. It is not meant to compete with the yearly Xbox showcase.

gold_drake3d ago

best e3 was when they showcased breath of the wild with the nintendo tree people i watched that quite a few times ha.

Daver3d ago

Diablo 4 expansion? Even if the game is bad.

Crows903d ago

I'm definitely of the mind that d4 was complete crap at release...but the state of it right this moment is not complete crap. They've simplified a lot which actually helped their overtly stupid itemization.

End game content is still kind of stupid but at least progression and itemization is better.

Daver3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@crows90

Maybe but it is still boring. It might be a little bit better but it is not a good game.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Xbox had typically kept the old e3 dates alive it seems to always fall on Queens / Kings birthday holiday in Aus only reason I've noticed as it used to be a day off to engross myself in e3 showcases but nowadays it's nothing

Lightning775d ago

The rumor is 30 games with a nearly 2 hour show. I hope so I, been saying they need to go balls to the wall with their showcase. That's according to Grubb again. Yeah a huge pinch of salt he's only been wrong or half right about some stuff.

There's also suppose to be a Wu Tang Clan game that's a kungfu action RPG featuring the legendary hip hop group New Yorks own Wu Tang Clan. You read right Wu Tang Clan kungfu action RPG.

Sounds weird, random and quirky but hey I'm down to see it.

romulus234d ago

Bet the title has Shaolin in it.

purple1013d ago

State of decay 3 info is leaking on twitter!

Looks good. Personally don’t play horror/ zombie games, but I appreciate it’s a good game so that’s a win for Xbox fans.

Lord knows they need a win at the moment

ThinkThink3d ago

Appreciate the concern, but I think we'll be just fine. Hope you all enjoy tomorrow's show.

"The rumor is 30 games with a nearly 2 hour show. I hope so I, been saying they need to go balls to the wall with their showcase."

MS had the best showcases in the last few years.

This year, the bar is so low with those last showcases, that imo, MS and Ubisoft doesn´t even need to make much of an effort to beat them.

"That's according to Grubb again. Yeah a huge pinch of salt he's only been wrong or half right about some stuff."

Grubb was right about the last State of Play. Just a few days for the end of the month, he´d continued and insisted that it was going to happen. And he was right! Sony made a last minute announcement for whatever reason, but the guy was spot on.

Lightning773d ago

Grubb was only half right. He only got the month down, which was late last month for a PS event but wrong on it being a PS showcase.

Half right at best. He's still not that credible these days. He definitely wasn't spot on.

derek3d ago

Grubb has been pretty spot on in his comments regarding showcases. You can tell he's not guessing, he knows in advance.

Sonic18813d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Microsoft has had the best showcases for the last 3-4 years. The problem with Microsoft and the Xbox division is their reputation and trademark around the world. That's what's really affecting them.

This show is going to be painful.

Elda4d ago

Hopefully not knowing most games shown will be multiplats & some eventually multiplats.

The presentation is going to be the painful part. There might be some good games though.

You can always make a drinking game out of it for every time they say the words "Made for a modern audience".

I'd like to be able to watch it through to the end though...

Are you 12 or 13 now? 😂🤣

This is fun. Some back and forth.

No, but those emojis sure seem like you might be.

Crows903d ago

You'd think that every now and then even these dispassionate fools may do a good job...they've disappointed every single year since before release of Xbox one....that's a really long streak of disappointments...lol

anast3d ago

For sure. they have the money to put on a top tier show, but I'm afraid it will look like an event where super rich people are noticeably trying to be cheap. And they have this strange smile like they know they are trying o get over on people. It just makes for an awkward and tasteless showing.

GotGame8182d ago

My emojis? 😂🤣 Funny kid!

I hope it's a good showing knowing most games that will be shown will be multiplats & XB timed exclusives that'll eventually become multi-plats.

Tacoboto3d ago

It is what it is at this point.

At least the good games will have a chance to be bought, take advantage of the superior DualSense, and *maybe* give those studios a better shot at survival.

They'll also have better shadows, and run with higher dynamic res on the PS5 Pro.

Lightning773d ago (Edited 3d ago )

So if they're multiplat would you suddenly like Xbox games?

You never have before you've made that clear several times over.

Elda3d ago

I have an XBSX. I also own a PS5 & a Switch. What's your point??

Lightning773d ago

My point is what I said. You don't like Xbox games, you've said it repeatedly. So would you suddenly like Xbox games if they were available on PS5.
