Fans of old-school style RPGs have reason to celebrate today, because just a few hours ago Granblue Fantasy was released on Steam. This is the "classic JRPG that first launched in Japan for mobile devices and web browsers in 2014." Apparently today's release on Steam also marks the first time that new players outside of Japan will be able to experience the game.
The only bad news here is that you'll have to start fresh with the Steam version as there is no way to transfer data from an existing account to the Steam release. The good news is that CyDesignation and Cygames at least offer up one PC-specific feature: 16:9 resolutions. This differs greatly from the vertical layout found in the original releases. As far as other PC-centric amenities are concerned, your guess is as good as mine.
Below you'll find some additional details on the game.
What is Granblue Fantasy on Steam
Granblue Fantasy is a classic JRPG that first launched in Japan for mobile devices and web browsers in 2014. Now, for the first time, new players outside of Japan can join the experience through Steam.
Inside, you’ll find a deep, turn-based combat system packed with nuanced mechanics, elemental strategies, and an enormous array of skills to pull from. Cinematic charge attacks, team-based chain bursts, and towering summons elevate your battles with both devastating effectiveness and dazzling visuals. Whether tackling raids solo or joining fellow skyfarers in real-time co-op raids, there’s always a new challenge to conquer. With more than 70 distinctive classes and robust character and weapon progression, there’s a wealth of content to explore and optimize – perfect for dedicated adventurers.
Beyond the main quest lies myriad tales – sometimes lighthearted, but always rich in character. Each encounter is brought to life with full voice acting, and every new crewmate brings their own story, with fate episodes that delve deeper into their lore. Discover your favorites, strengthen your crew, and forge parties to surmount any challenge. In these boundless skies, Granblue Fantasy offers countless ways to play, and countless reasons to fall in love with the journey.
With the Steam release, the game will be playable in a 16:9 interface for the first time.
