Arcarum stories was introduced before, in event when we fought the black za warudo with 50+ people, the event was similar like GW when we need to fill each region poin. But the event was a lot bug then they force to stop the event

I def needed a refresher on the arcarum storyline. Heck I accidentally skipped the introduction of it cuz I was rushing to unlock arcarum on the last day of anni magfest. It was also nice to have to whole story told like this. Taking months to unlock each evoker and waiting for updates def made me forget part of is, even forgetting what happened to Hyest... I'd def be cool with hearing more stories told like this.

Fraux my beloved. My favorite character of the Evoker group.

make video about how cygames forgot to release flb for the seasonal characters pls

Thanks for a short reminder of the actual storyline of Arcarum, just in time for me to 5 star Caim in a few days, I’ve decided to do the 5 Stars on each of the Tales of Arcarum rerun events, looking forward to his power boost since I find 4 Star Caim to just be a stat up backline character. I really like this idea for a series, summarisations on Granblue events or storylines don’t tend to be uploaded on RUclips and a new player having the option to watch a video on the game instead of wasting literal months to unlock a cutscene in a mode like Arcarum is pretty cool since they at least can understand the plot line I really appreciate the Arcarum mode, yeah it’s extremely grindy but it means daily content, you can either just focus on one character and get them after two or three months or do what I did and just grind till you get the materials for all of them, I’m personally coming to the end of my grind so part of me does hope for Cygames to add something else either to Arcarum or to make a new mode but I suppose I can always grind Flawed Prisms for the Blue skin and eventual Transcendence on my Eternals so it’s not like I won’t have anything to grind. While the Arcarum story itself does sound pretty basic I feel like it’s mainly elevated by the Evokers, they all have such tragic backstories compared to the usual amount of tragedy this game likes to have, well minus Fraux, not read her 5 Star Fates yet but her backstory seems pretty on par with some way older other crew members like Lennah or Drusilla. One thing I hope they do is give the Evokers some kind of event or at least some more interactions, outside of the Harvin siblings and I believe Maria Theresa hanging out with Nier one time they don’t really seem like a group, a lot like how I saw the Eternals before their 5 Star Fates. Not that they have to be a group like the Eternals but having an event where even a few of them interact and have more of a dynamic would be cool since Cygames usually just writes one into an event to be a side character. I really appreciated Lobelia in the MHA collab and would love to see more of him interacting with others for example.

I really loved Estarriola's FLB Fate Episode. Or well, the prologue part especially that happens after the defeat of The World. (spoiler below). I liked the development he had in moving on from his wife and getting with the Primal Beast he had a pact with that looks like his Wife, Temperance. Crazy enough, he becomes Young again. Although I don't know what this means for Marquiares. I'd imagine he'd be in shock. lol

I never pay attention to glossaries, but I love how in Relink they expanded on Sandalphon lore. The fate episodes there go over wmtsb but from the perspective of Sandalphon and what went on in his head, which is exactly what I wanted to know. Though my favourite is that his sword is called Apprentice, given to him by Lucifer. As for gw, I don't care about some imaginary numbers, I'm just focusing on getting enough fragments to uncap Six to 130 and flb the celestial claw, but I haven't had a lot of time (I sleep and work for 90% of gw... downtime is when I DO have time fml big European L) and it looks like I won't flb the claw just yet. I hope water is the next element because I just got Haase flb and I'm powertripping

i have abit of an idea how to salvage this. andras was laid to be spirit that split itself/ make copies of itself and spread it throughout the world. what if even the original andras were dead but the copies that were spreaded out still able to be independent to lesser degree, and are trying to incorporate themselves into singular entity in attempt to revive the original, or trying to promote lesser spirit into become vessel or something for the next event. we still really don't know how the celestial spirit actually work, so i think something like "can spirit actually be dead?" or "can other lesser spirits replace/succeed them?" still can be inserted. i feel this won't lessen the feel of the flb episode or the event if handled correctly, it's just "there's still work to be done" kinda insert.

With GW going on I gotta keep this short sadly. That 1st entry on the 6 dragons is really interesting.... with the part about there being wedges for the astrals and moon. Would be pretty cool if that could be explored further, or see what those wedges are like (Unless they are known in the game and I just missed that part?) Also I really wish they'd rerun some of those old events. I reeeeaally wanna do Cerberus and Fenrir showdown at least once...! Also also the goal of GW atm isn't to rank the highest possible, but complete those dang celestial weapons released every GW!!!

good stuff, the plan for this gw its top 90k on my end im rigth now at top 20k so i guess im safe, keep it up ducky

Huh, I mean I am caught up with all of the Fate Episodes I can do right now so it might be worth taking a look at this part of the Journal while grinding Nightmare 150, I occasionally do look at it but I didn’t know much of the info in this video. Lucky you having Hal Mal by the way, I’ve been having to experiment with a bunch of different Dispel options, for NM150 my best bet seems to be Black Knight as her Dispel procs twice after a CA. I was definitely worried about Dark GW since it’s been my most neglected element, and being in a solo crew doesn’t help with needing to unlock higher difficulties. I think you can unlock Santa Claus’ Journal page by reading the first Winter event story that’s in the other events tab, the one with the Main Story Quest gang and Loki and Fenrir. I appreciate the Journal a lot in Granblue since it’s a good way of adding extra details to characters that aren’t mentioned in events, I like reading about little tidbits that aren’t mentioned in the event itself. I think the gacha medium is a good example of an in game datalog done right, one of my favourite games is Final Fantasy 13 and one of the complaints about that game is that it keeps a lot of the information about the games world locked behind data entries which some people might not want to read, while I can kinda see the complaints there, in a game like Granblue that has a new 2-3 hour story event every month, I think it is good game design in this case.

Perfect thumbnail tbh.

About Santa Claus, there's even more shown after the example you showed that was actually shown in Holiday Shalem's Fate Episode (big spoiler): The guy somehow... existed during the period of the Creation Myth. Because he had a Present assigned to Shalem, but named as the Dusk Speaker. Which is pretty insane, and makes me wonder that if he were to have lived in the North Pole, is that place even still in tact, or did GBF put a spin on things and he just lives in another dimension or something. 🤨

Hey at least we know if you post a video you'll always have at least 1 dedicated viewer watching.

The first time I fought phronesis I brought a team of Manadiver, Y. Vampy, H. Lich, and G. Ewiyar and tried to follow the rules. Unfortunately, Vampy and Lich autocast skill at end of turn and Ewiyar autocasts skill on Ougi which turned the fight from use no more than 3 skills to use no more than 1 skill and don't use any if the cats has Ougi

Damn it has been some time since the last time I studied a raid

and I thought that Beatrix was gonna get love

friendly reminder today's version of avatar was nerfed from the initial version. it used to be 3 out of 4 non-trigger special attacks deal plain damage.

As a relatively new player I found avatar to be really refreshing before for most bosses I couldn't kill I just hosted them did as much damage to reach the blue chest honour boundary and call for backup once my team was dead but now I can feel I could clear it solo cause I learnt the mechanics and built a team around them

Wait people actually pay attention to the Raids and don’t just request backup and full auto them? I kid, but that’s how I tend to do my dailies, with the exception of Diaspora which is so hard that I’ve actually been trying different strategies to beat it, since full autoing that Revans Raid just doesn’t work. Whoever decided to make Revans weapons require other elements materials for the rebuilding process can suck it, still I should be thankful they did make the requirements easier than they originally made them. While I’m more of a fan of your story coverage it’s cool to hear about these Raid mechanics, very interesting about Huanglong and Qilin’s Raids especially, I guess them not requiring a fully built Grid would be pretty useful to players who need the drops for progression purposes.

Cygames prolly going to just scrap his old kit and make a new one. I used him in 2018 for... something I dont remember, even back then, hes hella clunky to use

Bakuretsu, Bakuretsu, La La La~

Marquiares was one of the last characters I learnt about, finding out about him five months after I started the game and was just looking at the wiki for like an hour or two a day. Only recently learning that he knows Estarriola two months ago. I’ve got no idea what they’re gonna do with him story wise but I would love to see other characters that are connected to the Boundary show up in his fates if they decide to retcon this Supernal energy as just being the Boundary. I think connecting it to that would also increase his chances of showing up in important events since characters like Mugen and Shinsha (I think she’s connected to the Boundary? That’s what I got when I played her debut event but it could be something different) tend to do so now, having an old Harvin sort of joke character would be a cool addition. I’m also wondering if they’ll do what they did to Estarriola and de-age him? I don’t know how it worked with Estarriola since I’ve not 5 stared him yet but if it’s just a normal old Harvin thing then they might try to make him more marketable with the de-aging. I think what’s most important though is fixing his kit, it is flat out awful and in Dark he’s gonna need a huge buff, especially with the upcoming Unite and Fight, I’m interested in how they change him, having MP makes me think they might turn him into a playable class like they did with Sato and Toga this year.

I suspect those mysterious Moon Beings have something to do with the Otherworlders given the things said in the main story quest.

I will note that he *was* released after the original Arcarum event - Estarriola wasn't yet added, but they probably were like 'well any second now :)' This is Frosh, by the way.

I'm more curious on how they'll even fix his old kit. It looks so baad... maybe they'll take off that restriction on making him wait a turn on his s1 for starters... But yeah, hoping his fate ep will be fun too. I don't remember his initial fate eps, but he's a funny character himself, with those black kamina glasses. And I remember him... ooh do I. I think I've gotten him enough times in draws to make a full capped copy and more. D:<

Thanks for this video. Never find someone who talk about GBF event like you before. You have my subbed. Also Mirin is very cute in this event.

what if another Force of Nature arise?

DUCKRAI

I liked that little naruto reference that they threw in there, with Sato calling herself the #1 knockout ninja. lol

Your point about every Granblue player having a different opinion on what makes a good event is very true, to defend Definitive Dandyism a bit, in the Lowain Bros events they tend to swap focus a ton with many characters only showing up for a scene or two, either for jokes or to push the plot forwards, I like that since it’s a great way to show off a ton of cameos of characters who otherwise are competing for the prize of a solo event so they can have a bit of relevancy. It makes the crew feel more of a cohesive group since most serious events can’t have them show up since they keep their cast small. Personally events like Definitive Dandyism or the 10/10 event No Rain No Rainbow are my choice for peak Granblue writing, I can appreciate high stakes but I love slice of life stuff, I like characters like the Dragon Knights engaging in full scale battles against the events antagonist but I also like watching them in their down time helping to manage a restaurant.

In this event make me thinking if story planner in cygame is forget that MC has Ninja class, since in the story Lyria said she's never know anything about ninja

I thought the story was okay. I like fun and silly stories, but sometimes I feel GBF can lean into that too much. The father being comically villainous and being a reskin of the generic male NPC was a bit too much for me. Also wasn't really a fan of the twist in the 1st half of the story. Also felt like the story was hard asking not to think outside of it. I think the idea of samurai culture being unclear due to them fading out of modern times and records not being recorded, but ignoring existing characters like Jin, Sevilbarra and Octo is a hard ask, unless we accept that this is a timeline where those characters are not in the group or something like that. I agree with your opinions on other stories tho. Some of those were bangers and some really bad. Urgh, that mermaid summer story..! We'll probably get a sequel story this year that could be a much better followup.

I just wonder if this event will lead into demon blade storyline

I like licking wasabi :)

You make a good point as I was wondering what they will do after they just got rid of the current big threat. There's surely a goal in mind, getting all the elemental shamans together....though there's no telling _what for._ lol

wait a sec; a certain char F was in the thumbnail, but never mentioned? And forgot about Orologia? She's the best mom in granblue! Nice video otherwise.

I honestly wouldn't mind them introducing Andras adjacent villains for each element. Andras is kinda wind aligned as "evil mist", so discovering "evil rain/fires/land poison" could still set the stage for the "who made Andras and the others?" set-up while we slowly gather up all the other shamans to build to a big showdown at the end. We could be done the "Wind" arc and then have more events in the future focusing on the other elements.

One thing I did like about this event and follow up was the fact that Petra fumbled at the end of the event and had to be bailed out by Elmott and Gallivan, it’s so rare for the stories of this game to have a character to fail right at the most important point and I did appreciate that writing choice since I figured that would be a plot point for the next part. But the 5 Star Fates kinda sorted that out already. I do think that interesting antagonists are very important to these event plots but I don’t think they need to always be there for multiple events. The Dragon Knights story had that issue of constantly switching antagonists only to retroactively frame the story as having a true big bad manipulator type villain. There’s also a big difference between the quality of Andras’ writing and Belial or Ferdinand’s. Petra’s Fates clearly show that her arc has sort of finished for now and it’s more likely they’ll make a follow up on probably Elmott or the Water Shaman instead, Elmott is pretty popular so it makes sense to focus on him more. I’m hoping they don’t write Petra and her mother out of the storyline though, and also maybe make Karla playable.

I do have to nitpick the idea that the April event is the one they want people to stick around for - history has shown that they routinely run godawful/small focus events in April. Definitive Dandyism, Sweltering Eternal Getaway, Sturm & Drang Mercenary's Life, Walk on the Wild Side - consistently these are events that do not drive conversions. I think they really just do not give a crap about the April event.

Interesting that Granblue has so many alive mothers and yet we only have a few of them playable, granted that makes a bit of sense since it’s a gacha game and it’s easier to sell younger “waifu” type characters. My favourite Granblue mum probably has to be Robomi if she counts, since the event story has had plenty of entries it’s meant that we’ve been able to see her repair her relationship with Kenji after the first event and I like that, not to mention her being one of the few playable characters to actually die in an event even if she comes back in the third event is pretty unique. I like all the other playable mothers too, Lady Grey was one of my first SSR’s and I would love to see the writers use her for more stuff since we don’t have many playable necromancer characters, Nene is a fun enough joke R character but I did like what they did with her during 2023’s White Day Login story, I’m a sucker for a story focusing on family bonds. I also want to count Mishra too even if she’s not Zehek’s mother and instead his teacher but she was another SSR I got early on and I liked her Fates. With Petra’s 5 Star story I’m hoping that Karla can become a part of the “Elemental Shaman’s” storyline they seem to be setting up, I’ve not read all of Petra’s 5 Star Fates yet because I’m still levelling her up to 100 but I’m hoping they don’t kill her off in them, I did actually assume she was already dead after What Reeks and Burns but was happy that she wasn’t. Man the Robomi events are so good, I’d love to see them make the NPC’s of that storyline playable, something a la Meg and Mari where Nicholas is the one fighting with his family cheering him on.

I wish there were more playable mothers. Nene ssr when, Cygames

Shit, I want Maritozzo....

happy mothers day mama ducky!!

My favorite NPCs are Hal, Sariel and Orologia
