Some other staff included Kazuhiro Inoue (The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls U149) by Marucho Shouten as art director, Tomohiro Maeda of CygamesPictures (director of Manaria Friends 3DCG) and Fuyuto Muraguchi of Rocket Vision (Arknights “Lone Trail” PV) as color coordinator and finish tester.
Since the release of the game set in a world of islands floating in the clouds, Granblue Fantasy has grown into a multimedia franchise that includes manga, light novels, and a television anime adaptation featuring two parts. It also inspired an action RPG for Playstation 4, 5 and Steam titled Granblue Fantasy Re:Link which was released in February 2024.
The official synopsis of the original mobile RPG is:
There exists a world in which islands of all shapes and sizes float in a sea of clouds. This is a world abandoned by the gods.
A long time ago, beings called Astral tried to gain control of this world with their overwhelming power. However, the citizens of the sky, the Skydwellers, successfully resisted. The world once again entered a period of peace.
Now, our hero prepares to embark on a journey after receiving a letter from his missing father. Accompanying him is Vyrn, a rather special member of the family, who happens to be a winged lizard. Despite Vyrn’s protests, our hero prepares to leave his hometown of Zinkenstill when the mysterious island suddenly engulfs in flames.
The growing fleet of the Erste Empire wreaks havoc in the skies above.
Amid the chaos, a chance encounter with a mysterious girl named Lyria awakens the fallen dragon of the stars, which lets out a roar of resurrection.
