    Summary:


    • Cygames held an hour long presentation at E3 covering two of their upcoming console games: Granblue Fantasy Re:Link (IIRC ~50%/50% co-developed with Platinum) and Project Awakening (entirely made by Cygames to our knowledge)
    • This presentation was helmed by Cygames' Director of Western Marketing, David McCarthy, who explicitly approved the information in the Destructoid article for release
    • Destructoid was not allowed to report on everything they saw, but to repeat, did get explicit approval to talk about everything listed below, and did not fabricate or lie about their article, the interview, or the existence of the presentation
    • Cygames has had a major mobile success almost every year since they were founded, causing them to have huge amounts of cash
    • Cygames' CEO is a big fan of doing all sorts of things, so they've since expanded into music, plays, anime, sponsorships, manga, and of course, console games
    • Cygames is hoping to expand more heavily into the West with "big, beautiful console games" including Granblue Fantasy Re:Link and Project Awakening
    • For Granblue Fantasy Re:Link, Cygames feels the quality of their art, characters, and storyline, combined with Platinum's action game experience, will make for a product that appeals to audiences worldwide
    • Granblue Fantasy will be released in Japanese, English, French, and a few additional languages. This information comes directly from Cygames' Director of Western Marketing and was directly approved for release by him twice. This is an official statement from Cygames for all intents and purposes. This is not a statement fabricated by Destructoid.
    • This was all that Destructoid was allowed to report on for Granblue, but they were very impressed by the demo they saw. The game will be shown again publicly in December.
    • The other game they showed was Project Awakening, which is a "1% complete" game that they showed a clearly next-gen tech demo for. The game is being built on an engine led up by the technical director of Fox Engine. The game is photorealistic instead of anime styled, and stars relatively normal looking people. The general idea is to mix WRPG game design ideas with Japanese action combat. It's a fantasy title where knights fight dragons and the like. We've had a few threads on this so I'm not rewriting too much here.
    • They have several other console games in development that they imply are also slated for Western release, but either they didn't show them here, or they aren't allowing anyone to talk about the games. We know from one of the producers they hired recently that they intend to unveil a new console game this year that's targeting 1+ million sales, and is presumably part of this initiative.

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink director discusses playable character count, multiplayer, potential PC version, more

    - The setting of the story is Zega Grand, which appeared a bit in the main story as well. From the planning stages, we decided to set it in a place where prior knowledge would not be required, so even those who havent played Granblue could jump into the story. So as long as you know that “Granblues story is set in the skies,” enjoying the game wont be a problem.
    - Although the story connects with the main quest of the original game, its a little bit further than the main quest has gotten as of December 2018.
    - The item hanging around Vyrns neck is the same class of voice transmitters used by Eustace, who is in an “organization” in the main story. Through this, Vyrn can communicate with faraway characters outside the party.
    - The primal beasts that appear in this game are all completely new, and show up in various circumstances both as enemies and as allies. Also, a large number of new characters will appear. There are a lot of characters with strong personalities.
    - Were also considering bringing the characters and story of this game into the smartphone version.
    - The flow of the game is basically moving through stages to get to the boss, advancing to specific areas alongside the story. Various locations like vast grasslands and snowy mountains will appear, and there also sub-quests with elements like exploration.
    - I cant say a specific number when it comes to playable characters. But Bayonetta for example had unique motions for each weapon, which allows you to enjoy different ways of fighting for each one. If you counted each of those weapons as playable characters, [the playable character count] should be quite large for one of these types of games.
    - You will unlock playable characters by meeting specific requirements as you progress through the game.
    - For multiplayer, you can choose from the playable characters that you have unlocked. Since each players rate of progression is different, players are allowed to choose the same character.
    - What were trying to go for with multiplayer is high-difficulty quests that are unlocked after you clear the main story once, but you can also play low-difficulty quests before clearing the main story.
    - The game is just as far along as Granblue Fantasy Versus. However, since Granblue Fantasy: Relink is so much bigger, we will likely release Granblue Fantasy Versus first.
    - (This applies to both Granblue Fantasy: Relink and Granblue Fantasy Versus.) We would also like to release for Steam (PC). We already have some titles for PlayStation 4 that are being developed in-house such as the tentatively titled Project Awakening, and as a company we will certainly continue to put our strength into console.
