I also had a harder time getting my Skybound/Super Skybound arts to happen with the joystick, but it would activate sometimes. Although you could use the d-pad and left joystick interchangeably for most combos, I could only get the dash to work on the d-pad.

There are a few controls that didn’t seem so smooth. One missed block and your opponent can take a big portion of your health. (I learned later that the RPG mode had more basic tutorials I needed for a beginner player.) For someone who has played a lot of fighting games, especially other Arc System Works titles, the gameplay wouldn’t be such a hard skill to grasp. The tutorials start players off with complex moves and situations, which gave me a hard time at first. When I booted up Granblue Fantasy: Versus for the first time, I immediately went to the tutorials to get a grasp on the gameplay. Gameplayīefore going into the game mechanics, it needs to be stated that I played this game as a fan of the mobile game, not as someone proficient in fighting games. That being said, it is an incredibly diluted version of play than what players will encounter going into online matches. Granblue Fantasy: Versus‘ RPG Mode does give players a good place to get used to the most basic game mechanics and practice with the variety of characters. These mechanics make the story mode feel like it’s trying to be a JRPG and a fighting game at the same time, and doesn’t really work. Because of the shortness of the story, most players won’t feel the need to dive very deep into the weapon grid and character leveling. It unfortunately also brings in the idea of the weapon grid and character leveling, which honestly, isn’t the most fitting thing. This content does not include digital purchase bonuses for the original smartphone/browser game Granblue Fantasy.RPG Mode makes the characters feel bland and non-memorable.
