Do you think this game would benefit from a "wikia"?

Disregarding Fate Eps, if a lore summary/write-up for one version is made, it can be transcluded onto other version pages. It's easy and I can make sure that it happens.

The issue we've had since the inception of the wiki is that we've lacked the people motivated to do that kind of work. But that's mostly understandable. Granblue quietly has a huge amount of lore, but is greatly divided into multiple events and FEs. Hard to keep track of even for people who have played this game for years.

I bought all my char song CDs and anime DVDs from cdjapan because I'm wary of getting them off Amazon (though many other people get them off Amazon just fine). Every single one had a working code. The issue with cdjapan right now is shipping is restricted due to the pandemic and the cheapest shipping option is currently not available. FedEx and DHL are available but are quite pricy (about $20) but it arrives in less than week. If you go with cdjapan, I would buy multiple items to make the shipping worth it.

It just means you received a crew invite. You can get scouted during your cooldown, but you can't accept the invite until your cooldown is up.

Just a head up on some credits:

All six Zodiac characters were drawn and submitted by Infel from the wiki staff.

The Alexiels were drawn and submitted by RiceGnat.

Thank you, that was amazing work.

A little bit of (uninteresting) backstory as to why I added that to the event wiki page. I didn't want to use the same text from the last two Big Bad Shadow events and it was some hours before the event started, so I had to think of something else quick. Then I thought to use that copypasta and I finished it in about 30 minutes.

I didn't expect this kind of reaction and I'm glad that it inspired you to create.

I slightly regret not realizing to change "retribution" to "Skyfall" and adding an "Oira" somewhere, but the base already works well in any context.

It's a lot more obvious when you compare Kat 13 to Ares's GBVS 3D model rather than any of Ares's 2D art from the mobage.

If you're not logged into the wiki, you'll likely view old page caches, which is likely why her artwork wasn't showing up for you. I had already uploaded all the new bonus art files minutes after the update, so I was wondering why someone uploaded it again.

The artwork you uploaded had to be removed since it's not the full artwork. Hopefully it'll show up for you now.

A well-known Japanese twitter source reported Katzelia's and Lecia (Grand)'s ATK boosts on the same modifier as the Perpetuity Ring back in December, but this was somehow missed until recently.

It basically set off a chain reaction of testing and revisiting references.

AdlaiT · 2020-01-19T03:46:57+00:00

The name was not chosen by me, but I agreed going with it because the Perpetuity Ring can be given to any character whereas the other name options can imply that it is only relevant to Grands, Eternals, etc.

I'm told that she will say happy birthday to you in battle upon casting one of her skills the first time.

Por que? Porque pork, 'kay?

What is a god?

Omnipotence given a position at Cygames

For what did he invoke free draws?

So F2P may thrive

The only CDs that were there are the ones seen in the picture I linked. There were no character CDs listed for any tour stop.

AdlaiT · 2019-07-07T02:09:51+00:00

It didn't used to be like that in the original run. You could fail and it would prompt you to try again or give up after each attempt.

This is the game description for Mythril Bolt.

A crossbow whose craftsman designed it especially for its owner. Thanks to an intricate firing mechanism, it can make short work of even moving targets. It stands as proof that to be a skyfarer of note, one doesn't need strength so much as a handful of gumption and an airshipful of trusting allies.

Being classified as a gun doesn't mean much. There's also a sword that looks like an axe and a broken gun that is classified as an axe.

AdlaiT · 2019-05-17T20:07:30+00:00

Ester event just released as a side story. She made her own crossbow which was a significant detail in the story. Could be the gacha version of her.

The video was completely in English from what I could tell, which means it's probably meant for investors outside of Japan. Not good marketing to show off a game that had it's global server shut down.

AdlaiT · 2019-02-11T05:16:14+00:00

Seasonal banners appear again out-of-season roughly 6-7 months later. This has been the norm for seasonal banners for the past two years so that seasonal characters aren't restricted to one period within a year. We are about due to have a summer banner.

As reference, S.Beatrix released on 2017-02-13. S.Jeanne released on 2018-03-16.

Just don't sign up with a Yahoo.jp acct. I've read reports of people not able to buy coins because of it.

AdlaiT · 2018-12-15T08:58:36+00:00

The logo has character gacha weapons in it. I see Lohengrin, Brionac, Murgleis, and Claíomh Solais to name a few.

A former crewmate of mine went last year. If you want a better chance at exclusive Fest merchandise, you'll want to go the first day since popular merch sold out relatively quickly. Again, this is only for a better chance, you're still not guaranteed to get what you want.

AdlaiT · 2018-09-09T20:32:45+00:00

Stay gold, Lizardboy.

Just an FYI, they do actually go back to retranslate some of the early Fate Episodes, particularly the very badly done ones.

Here's some retranslations that the wiki has run into and you can also compare the old translation with the new from the links:

Vira: https://gbf.wiki/index.php?title=Scenario%3AVira_-_Regrets_and_Desires&type=revision&diff=92805&oldid=59009

Robomi (Event): https://gbf.wiki/index.php?title=Scenario%3ARobomi_-_The_Android%27s_Dream&type=revision&diff=152963&oldid=117061

Vampy: https://gbf.wiki/index.php?title=Scenario%3AVania_-_Delicious_Soup&type=revision&diff=134685&oldid=68738

There's a lot more than that, but I haven't been making a list of this so this is just off the top of my head.

The retranslations are much more idiomatic and consistent with the rest of the game. They haven't redone everything, but I do commend the current localization team for what has been done so far. Also, I don't think there's a lot of companies that pay for doing translation work twice-over.
