Granblue Fantasy is a successor to FF6? Why am I just finding this out? And why is it full of waifus if that is the case?

Are any of the Granblue games worth playing?

I've talked about it a bit over the years. Often complained about how it's half Squaresoft's fault for never doing a follow up to FF6's aesthetics that I was addicted to the stupid thing for a while. (Early 2016 began an extremely depressing phase for me; got my hopes up like an idiot that maybe humanity's doom could be avoided or reduced in intensity but lolnope.)

The original game has a similar artstyle and Nobuo Uematsu contributed heavily to the soundtrack. The game itself has a high fantasy/steampunk thing going on (yes, the characters ride around on airships). The main character has a job class system that kind of seems like FF's thing at first glance. The boss fights are chuuni and over the top, always against one kind of god or giant monster or another. There's a reason it blew up into a franchise.

(I am deeply saddened the youtube video with the image of an angry splashing tuna while the Defend Order music plays was taken down. What's the point of anything anymore. Why live.)

The game itself I can't recommend - it's a browser game from ten years ago. That stupidly needs a freaking GPU to run at full speed for some ungodly reason. (The reason is Google Chrome sucks.) But if you need a mindless incremental game that doesn't require installing anything and doesn't have huge load times....

Granblue Vs seems to have an active scene that likes it. It was popular enough to get a sequel, after all. Arc System Works did the core gameplay design, so it's probably not any worse or better than their other fighting games.

Relink seems to be have been received well by the people who played it. By god it should have been, being in development for half a decade and involving PlatinumGames. If there's anywhere for jumping into the franchise for a normie, it's that.

... seems more like generic action RPG fare to me. It lacks tuna and probably doesn't have the same edgy chuuni music, so I wouldn't know personally.

And why is it full of waifus if that is the case?

Compensation for all those classic FF games that were 79 to 100% male?

There must be balance in all things.

(Or you can say it's homage to the harem game FF5. It's always important to have at least one old man in your harem, tbf.)
