When I first played Granblue Fantasy Relink, a spinoff of the browser gacha game Granblue Fantasy, the last thing I expected was to become a fan. I couldn't see how a JRPG franchise born from this 2014 gacha could deliver a great action RPG title 10 years later, but it did. Now, I've played a third GBF game that made me finally realize why the franchise turned into one of my favorites.
It's all Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising's fault. It's a fighting game with a story mode with amazing English VA. The voices of Gran, Katalina, Lancelot, and other human characters perfectly match their spirits and actions as the story develops. Katalina's voice in the early chapter differs when she's influenced by the black crystal's powers and when she's back to normal and having a chat in a safe area with other characters. The voice of Vyrn, a small flying lizard-like companion, is funny, high-pitched, and reminds me of cute anime creatures like Cerberus from Sakura Card Captors.
