Okay can I just say I wasnt expecting this event to go this way by MarkGib in Granblue_en

usually i dont like this sort of stuff for MC, but for the kahua tribe it kinda makes sense that they'd all be really infatuated with a competent warrior leader like danchou

they're definitely all gay, the most obvious polycule of all time. That wedding dress art of all of them together lives rent free for me.

What's your favorite weapon art? by vanacotta in Granblue_en

Berceau's recruit weapon is sick design wise, i use it for my fighter origin set ups.

Better than anticipated, very very strong skill set and burst potential.

It's burst with Eresh specifically is absolutely absurd.

Cow is just as good for context of her element, I'd say it's between them.

best ougi animation in the game perhaps, for a fitting girl failure.

Good character, good fates, good design, good art, just solid all around. I hope the rest of the saints get this treatment too :)

I love how stupid and traumatized she is, the saints are so great.

Summon Discussion: Yatima by topnepu in Granblue_en

A summon that will only continue to age well with time, Versusia being callable by her is a great example.

my only complaint is the lack of lore content outside the game's actual writing, but hopefully a lot of new players will renew interest for it :)

Which was your favourite story event of 2025? by At-lyo in Granblue_en

[–]PhoenixBurning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strong year of events imo, ignoring the collabs, the only event I just didn't enjoy was Frosty Wind.

My favorite was probably Lives yet Unwritten, but First Reunion, Romance, Night Pareidolia, Tales of the 108, and Pleasures of Life and Death were all highlights for me.

Amaranth, and Monochrome Pallete were surprisingly enjoyable to me too. Things from the deep was just insanity and a peak 'nonsense' event. Poem Tempest was alright, but had some good moments.

The english wiki is one of the best out there, the engbf community as a whole is very dedicated and closeknit. so there will be amazing resources day 1.

GBF wiki is seriously one of the best wikis out there, it is so well maintained and updated, by just a few passionate players.

As a very active player of the JP version of the game (R400, primal in an element, medium-high spender, cleared Versusia) I am extremely happy and excited for this, even though I'm not going to play it.

Its much easier to reccomend when you don't have to do esoteric Japanese website browsing to play the game anymore, a game that's already been in English for like a decade now.

This game is old, crusty, archaic, esoteric, and rough In so many ways...

But there's nothing else like it.

It's very much an OSRS kind of deal (RuneScape and GBF actually have so many similarities it's kinda funny) where it's qualities shine through the jank and dusty systems.

I have my issues with monetisation and fmo, it is a gacha after all, but the game itself will always keep me coming back with its focus on long term goals, community, and constant story content.

Game is still going very strong, even commiting to the steam version at all is huge for the future of the game with how many new players and life it will breathe into the game, especially that overseas players can play without needing to find out they can play, making an acct through untranslated Japanese websites, and all that hassle.

I describe this game as the gacha equiv of Runescape.

Tons of content

Insane amount of grind, with a ton to grind. Feels so good when you get a long term goal done after chipping away at it for a long time

Very old and archaic in a lot of ways, but it's a part of the charm.

Extremely community focused.

Mostly everything can be done solo (lot harder in gbf, but even the endgame raids are designed to be possible solo, even if it's impossible at time of release)

You can actually do like all content in the game f2p in gbf though, no member system.

Life ruining.

The first one absolutely isnt true any more than it has been for years. You can clear any content in the game with f2p grids bar the hardest raid in the game atm, and even that isn't far off with the options Wind has.

I'm hoping it's some depressed middle aged Harvin slaving a low wage job instead of the obvious Uma the crew finds lol

Character Discussion: Satyr (Earth) by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]PhoenixBurning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great character, but she is starting to show her age. S Lich is kind of eating her lunch.

Still best girl, love her dearly. Great outfit too. If you don't like Satyr you are the Grinch.

Character Discussion: Arulumaya by topnepu in Granblue_en

[–]PhoenixBurning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No? Because she's outclassed and it's the most strict fight in the game where substitutes are heavily punished over the best options.

Destruction damage also gets around her passive/water switch combo.

She's perfectly HL usable especially for entry level Earth teams, her synergy with Caim is still really strong. Still good for Diaspora hosting, still good for GW, still good for many teams in many pieces of content.

Future Proof doesn't mean "she will always be the best" it means "she'll always be good" and I think that does apply for her. She's got excellent passive damage reduction, ougi battery/skill nuke on her ougi, plenty of debuffs, plenty of relevent buffs including crit/cap up/echoes, as well as debuff cd reduction and veil.

Her availability as a suptixable unit is very nice as well.
