If youвЂ™re riding solo, your biggest option is вЂњRPG Mode,вЂќ which is this gameвЂ™s take on making a fighting game from a RPG without totally abandoning the style and structure of the original property. The adorable, little online lobby gimmick ArcSys messes with now is on an airship, so thatвЂ™s a nice touch. Granblue Fantasy Versus has the usual fighting game fixinвЂ™s, such as the standard arcade mode and online options. How do you adapt a gacha mobile RPG into a BlazBlue-style fighter and maintain the source materialвЂ™s vibe, as ArcSys loves to do? IвЂ™m not sure the team found вЂњtheвЂќ answer, but we certainly have вЂњanвЂќ answer.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is the latest in that space and is quite an undertaking. Arc System Works, in particular, has also been making strides in creativity, ironically enough through outside IP. From Mortal KombatвЂ™s blockbuster excess to Arc System WorksвЂ™ visual novel flair and everything in-between (shout out to the only bad part of Tekken 7), weвЂ™ve come a long way from arcade opening and ending splashes. Story modes in fighting games have gotten weird.
