Those aren't even the worst of the bunch, sadly. But on the plus side they are nowhere near the majority.

As far as the translation goes, it's pretty passable, but the quality can vary between story segments I viewed. On the technical side one had untranslated choice buttons (Lamretta Rare) and there are places that the text can run off in both store prices and in story segments. Some of the skill text is localized using unclear language, but those same skills were not that clear in Japanese either, so I guess that's not too bad.

Being able to go through a bunch of the story again in English has been fun, though.

It's not quite that blatant when you're looking at the combat sprites that have a rather simplified art style. Or the framed portraits that crop off alotta stuff.

But yeah there's that race that sorta leans in that exaggerated direction:v:. And humans being the general favored race.

I believe what's common is that you want to start during an event that has access to a lot of character, because when/if you decide to pony up some funds for the Start Dash, when you started determines the pool of characters that are available.

Also, starting during an event where SSR characters are more likely means you will have to do less rerolling if you want to start with one.

Yup, starting during a legendfest is most ideal to lock exclusives to your start dash pool if you wish to spend about $25 usd for a 10 roll + cherry pick whatever characters where in the pool when you started. Like if you made an account when the zodiac character was available then you could pick up the character for $25 where some poor smuck whaled $6000.

Waiting till the zodiac character shows up again is a real pain , and you'll be missing out on events/collabs . They're fun to have and collect but certainly not the end of things if you can't get'em for whatever elemental teams you're running.

After setting it on my tablet, it showed up in English on both the browser version, chrome app version, and on my phone via the mobile web version. (All on the same account) The only exception was that sometimes the News page that starts you off would be in Japanese, but clicking on the big blue My Page button then everything would be in English.

It doesn't seem like SSR characters, even the rare Zodiac ones, are really worth it. I mean, rerolling yourself to death or waiting for an ultra rare fest instead of just playing the game. I'm only just over rank 40 and with only three SSR characters so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but the SR characters I do have seem to be doing quite well. My two best teams don't have any SSRs because I have more SSR weapons in those elements and that seems to be a bigger factor than characters at the moment. Of course, getting SSR weapons has mostly been running events and leeching Extreme and Extreme+ Raids. Events seem to be really good for dropping angel/archangel weapons and summons for levelling stuff up, too. I have one storage just filled after L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G. of exp fodder just waiting for me to get more weapons to fill up.

You're following the reroll guide, right? But unless theres a special promo going on then you'll only have 2 rolls per account.

And let me tell you about 2 weeks ago, those 70 free rolls :suspense:.

There was 2 tickets, and there was the first premium roll 10 for free. Also another 2 tickets from the codes.

The roll 10 always seemed to be one SR weapon, one R weapon & hero, and the rest R weapons though.

One question I've had about Granblue is that I cannot figure out even now is what Mythril weapons are for. They don't seem to give extra money, xp, or give skillups, but you can trade for them in the shop and they drop all over so I figure they have to have some special use.

The first "premium roll" is rigged, it never does anything except give the one SR and the one hero. The only real premium rolls with a chance for anything good you get with a fresh account are the two tickets, barring a special event.

I use my Google login to play the same account on all my devices, but you can use facebook, twitter, or at least one other type of account that I can't recall at the moment. When you push the button to start on a fresh device there should be these various obvious buttons below the text entry field on the second page to log in with one of these.

I went through this same nightmare, assuming you originally made an account on chrome and have an email login and password. First uninstall the app, then you can try going to https://ssl.sp.mbga.jp/_logout in chrome (on the phone) and clicking the second (I think? try translating) button to log out. Then go back to chrome and try going to https://ssl.sp.mbga.jp and see if it will take you to the login screen (same one as on pc with device mode), if it does then just login with your account you made. If it just starts the game without login in then you will need to delete chrome cookies (I had to do this and there doesn't seem to be anyway to delete specific site cookies on android chrome).

Essentially you want to have logged into the account you intend to play with on chrome on the phone, then reinstall Granblue through qooapp. When you first launch it there are two options from memory, one just starts the game and creates an account itself (what you would have done the first time), the other option is to link an existing account which will then open chrome to mobage site where you are already logged in from before asking for confirmation you want to link the account. I think the button you're looking for when you first launch the app is the second button and it's grey (i also think it has ID mixed between the japanese on the button).

Yeah, this is correct, it's the second button and will log you in if you log in on a browser first.

For Granblue, does the game cache data locally? And if so, does it do this in both the browser and "real" app version, or is one version better than the other in this regard? I'm wary about using my cell phone plan to play a grindy browser game if it's re-downloading art and sound assets all the time. I know the settings menu has options to turn down the sound/graphics quality, and my data plan is pretty good, but I don't want to burn a bunch of data for this silly game.

There are options for how much space you want to use on your phone to cache assets, how long it should keep stuff in the cache, and a manual option to clear the cache.

The apk itself for sure, in the settigns menu. I just checked the browser version and didn't see the same options in there. I cannot check the chrome app version at the moment.

The game has a lot of options (available in all three) to use lower resolution assets, not load sounds or voices, and do other data-friendly tweaks by reducing the amount of calls done to update raid chat at similar functions.
