Granblue Fantasy: Relink Q&A with Game Director Yasuyuki Kaji

wccftech.com:

Just over six years after the original announcement, Cygames is finally about to release Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This action RPG was originally meant to be a collaboration with PlatinumGames, but Cygames decided to split off around early 2019 and finish the game on their own, which led to a long delay.

At long last, fans of the popular franchise will get the first RPG game on PC and consoles (after the fighting game Granblue Fantasy: Versus) in less than two months from now. Wccftech was recently invited to a press event featuring a near-final build of Granblue Fantasy: Relink; you can check out our impressions here. We also joined a roundtable interview with Game Director Yasuyuki Kaji. The full conversation can be found below, edited and tidied up.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink will be available from February 1, 2024 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

WCCFTECH: In multiplayer, can multiple players take the same character at once?

Yes.

WCCFTECH: Okay. Similarly, if you're playing offline, can you have three AI-led Charlottas all working with you?

That's not possible.

WCCFTECH: In the demo we played, we had the weapon level cap at 10. Is there going to be a level cap that goes up based on the chapter you're on, or is it the difficulty tier of quests?

There are also other upgrade systems for characters besides levels, like side episodes. Completing those will buff your characters a bit, either with stats or other things. There's also mastery points that allow you to increase your character stats or
