Granblue Fantasy: Versus has an RPG Mode

XSEED Games, Cygames, and Arc System Works have revealed that Granblue Fantasy: Versus will include an "RPG Mode".

XSEED states that while Versus is a fighting game, this mode will let players experience an action RPG with an original storyline including cutscenes and boss battles. This mode will also implement a training system that XSEED states will feel quite familiar to those acquainted with Granblue Fantasy.

The “RPG Mode” allows players to experience the game as an action RPG, with an original Granblue Fantasy: Versusstoryline replete with beautiful cutscenes and boss battles against giant Primal Beasts. Additionally, a fully developed training system which will be very familiar to Granblue Fantasy fans will be implemented.

In Granblue Fantasy: Versus, power, skill, and spirit collide in a quest to find the true champion of the ring. Players can take on AI opponents or fight against human opponents in local or online two-player matches. Five characters will be available in the playable demo, starting with Gran, the protagonist of Granblue Fantasy, who travels the skies with his winged companion Vyrn and a mysterious girl, Lyria, who saved his life. Other characters include Katalina, an ex-imperial knight sworn to protect those she holds dear; Charlotta, the virtuous captain of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights; Lancelot, a dual-wielding master swordsman; Ferry, a ghost with a whip and spectral pets; and Percival, the ‘Lord of Flames’ who wields a blazing longsword.
