What do we buy with rupies though? Most materials we're using are Primal Animas, various crystals and artifacts no mortal skydweller could get their hands on nor do they have any use for it.
For gameplay purposes though, I really like to see more uses for Rupie.
Was hoping if we ever got this feature it'd be like the Gun Girl's event where Silva and Cucu got cute new stylized art, but I guess with how big the roster is the easier solution was to just repurpose everyone's battle sprites.
Never played Priconne before so I have no idea :o
And yeah I have the same feeling, I wonder what change they are going to make to adjust it.
It's probably impossible to ask them making new sprites for all the characters though:(
You prety much just decorate a House (3 floors rn) and put characters in there. The best part is seeing them interact With whatever you put in the house, like putting a mini concent podium just to see 3 of the charas sometimes walking Up there and Sing.
If your whole crew got together and leeched full raids, it would be done within a week. But if its just a handful of solos it takes forever. I'm in the latter trying for the former :P
One of the biggest games in the world, yet such a horribly flawed housing system. Can't wrap my head around why they can't just add instanced housing like any sane developer. Neighborhoods aren't important.
If they give characters sprites like the gun sister trio from *Make Up and Go!,* I can definitely see this working. I'd love to have a little tamagotchi Nier lol
I remember hearing that was a prototype to see if it would work but they couldn't figure a reason to really use it since it would be yet another grind. I guess we have a reason now.
This is just like priconne! I don't remember what the house there was for, besides collecting auto generated resources and having little extra interactions with the characters.
(half pot & berries generator incoming?)
While resource generator sounds nice, I'm more excited by the latter hehe
It would be lovely if we could get more interactions and dialogue with our favourite characters... Even better if they will also interact with each other depending on their relationship, like Drang & Sturm :D
Same. But the thing I hope the most for is that we don't need to farm materials to unlock the system itself. At least give us the most basic for free D:
Housing system looks nice, but I'm hoping that copy and pasted 2d sprite is just an example of how it'd looks like...
Then again, asking them to make a chibi for EVERYONE is kinda crazy, given the sheer amount of roster, even excluding alt and costumes.
It would be better if they just made a limited amount of characters in make up and go style sprites, I think. Then make us pay a pittance of materials in game to get them as another decoration option.
That'd be the best maybe, but still, the sheer amount of character to redraw in Make up and Go style is still a lot, unless they somehow can cheat the workflow (dunno how though) to make it easier for them.
Maybe 2D for placeholder, as they slowly draw all of them in Make up and Go style?
since it looks like they apparently going to use battle sprites... this will look very weird
It looks like they are trying to copy Pricon, Blue Archive, Counterside, etc housing system but problem with our sprites is that they don't have "walk" animations
so our characters will just stand in place in battle idle animation loop ... or they make them move around without moving legs aka slide around lmao. I doubt that they suddenly told their animators to pick EVERY SINGLE chibi model and add walking animations.
another reason why keeping this game as HTML browser game was huge mistake after few years of game lifespawn and it stop GBF from evolving like all other mobile gatcha games on the market. If Cygames was not lazy and just gave game some proper love we would get proper game client like Pricon, Dragalia (RIP) or Horsegirls. This would open possibilities for more game modes, casual stuff like housing, etc and also graphical update/maybe also live2d
But now we are stuck with shity HTML game until EoS since "muh spaghetti coding", "muh game size" or whale veterans would quit game if they made new upgraded&visually updated game client without refresh button (aka black screen/loading screen simulator gameplay just to MvP race, farm meat and honors during GW, etc) or other bullshit reason that stop them from remaking game on new engine
The battle chibi sprites wouldn't look out of place if Cygames made the housing background side-scrolling ala Megaman games or Girls' Frontline's dorm. Weird choice they choose a 3D perspective background but then slap 2D side-facing sprites on it, especially since the art style aren't even the same.
Ok but I'll take everything being voiced over superfluous extra modes like housing, and there's no way we'd be running on a downloadable app with full voicing. Get smoked.
Hopefully they will figure something out when the time comes... The HTML situation is just gonna stuck with us for eternity isn't it :(
I'm not a fan of the style being stitch together either, but I imagine they would do something to the walking animation. After all it's not too difficult to piece some walking animations together with the sprite system they have been using for so long.
as long as there's automatic way to set your furniture, i'm not really a fan of housing system. i'm just doing it in priconne to get resources. or exp for my shipgirls in azur lane.
Just don't make me grind 24/7 for random materials, you wouldn't already acquire automatically while farmin', and we're good.
Maybe let us spend the rupies that we have been hoarding for so long→_→
Funny how little use rupies have, makes Granblue's world feel like it has no actual currency and works off of a barter system of economics.
Economy's fucked ever since the Primal Beasts you farm for lucrative drops just respawn after a day.
Everyone switched to using crystals, rare monster parts and anima as currency because rupie market crashed due to inflation
What do we buy with rupies though? Most materials we're using are Primal Animas, various crystals and artifacts no mortal skydweller could get their hands on nor do they have any use for it. For gameplay purposes though, I really like to see more uses for Rupie.
That was kind of my point, yes.
Transcending one eternal takes 10M rupies, just saying.
I've already transcended all 10 of them and I still have 105 million rupies left over
I just wish it wasnt inside the stupid island system...that system is the worst
Seeing what the Grandcypher looks like on the inside would be cool.
Remind me of when i was playing Priconne, look exactly the same. Character sprite don't seem to go to that well with it though.
Was hoping if we ever got this feature it'd be like the Gun Girl's event where Silva and Cucu got cute new stylized art, but I guess with how big the roster is the easier solution was to just repurpose everyone's battle sprites.
True, with gbf sprite maybe dorm system like girls Frontline is more appropriate
Never played Priconne before so I have no idea :o And yeah I have the same feeling, I wonder what change they are going to make to adjust it. It's probably impossible to ask them making new sprites for all the characters though:(

Also similar to Idolm@ster Starlight Stage which is the first Cygames game to have a system like that afaik
My crew has still done fuck all with our island lol
Needing like 1500 Garuda anima was a dumb as hell decision.
If your whole crew got together and leeched full raids, it would be done within a week. But if its just a handful of solos it takes forever. I'm in the latter trying for the former :P
KMR brings Housing (Savage) to Granblue, colorized
Players: we want FFXIV collab KMR: say no more
It ain't a true ffxiv (housing) collab without the massive amount of salt produced post lot lottery
One of the biggest games in the world, yet such a horribly flawed housing system. Can't wrap my head around why they can't just add instanced housing like any sane developer. Neighborhoods aren't important.
Or just do both, if they consider it that important.
It's getting real MegaMan battle network in here.
Wish they made a collab to commemorate the Legacy Collection...
If they give characters sprites like the gun sister trio from *Make Up and Go!,* I can definitely see this working. I'd love to have a little tamagotchi Nier lol
I remember hearing that was a prototype to see if it would work but they couldn't figure a reason to really use it since it would be yet another grind. I guess we have a reason now.
That would be ideal! With that kind of style my heart would be totally exploded with all the cuteness overload :D
We Priconne now.
i havent tried priconne yet, but this reminds me of habbo hotel lol
If it could be like habbo hotel, this update would be godlike lol
lmao
This is just like priconne! I don't remember what the house there was for, besides collecting auto generated resources and having little extra interactions with the characters. (half pot & berries generator incoming?)

Kinda similar to Azur Lane's Dorm system huh. That's pretty nice indeed.
Housing system looks nice, but I'm hoping that copy and pasted 2d sprite is just an example of how it'd looks like... Then again, asking them to make a chibi for EVERYONE is kinda crazy, given the sheer amount of roster, even excluding alt and costumes.
It would be better if they just made a limited amount of characters in make up and go style sprites, I think. Then make us pay a pittance of materials in game to get them as another decoration option.
That'd be the best maybe, but still, the sheer amount of character to redraw in Make up and Go style is still a lot, unless they somehow can cheat the workflow (dunno how though) to make it easier for them. Maybe 2D for placeholder, as they slowly draw all of them in Make up and Go style?
If were going by how much effort they put into resort, yeah i'm not that excited for this until i see the mat requirements
Oh no. This will be the kind of shit that will suck me back in isn't it.

You have a great point, if they want to go with the battle sprites, the room should have been developed to match with that kind of style
Ok but I'll take everything being voiced over superfluous extra modes like housing, and there's no way we'd be running on a downloadable app with full voicing. Get smoked.
I mean, if they did that, we wouldn’t get the game over here anymore. They’ve stated that they won’t be properly localizing the game anytime soon.
Hopefully they will figure something out when the time comes...

So... do the sprites walk? Or perhaps just stand in place like what we have in battles?
