Starting Granblue Fantasy

	This page is intended to explain the account creation process for brand new users. Please see the Rerolling page if you want to reroll for different gacha SSR Characters.

Granblue Fantasy is an RPG with traditional turn-based based party combat, visual novel-style story cutscenes, and gacha-based character and weapon acquisition.

Accessing Granblue Fantasy

Granblue is played through a web browser and does not need any special app or program to access. On a PC or Mac, a Chromium-based browser should be used to access Granblue, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Official game login page: https://game.granbluefantasy.jp/

iOS users should use Safari. There is a Granblue Fantasy app available in the Japanese App Store, but it is simply a themed skin over the Safari engine. It also performs worse than the native browser.

Android users may use a Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, to access Granblue, but should consider using the SkyLeap browser. Playing the game through the SkyLeap browser earns points for the SkyLeap Point Shop for various items and resources, including the valuable SSR Character Weapon Ticket.

Is there an app I can download to play the game?

An app is not required to access and play Granblue Fantasy.

Although there is an official Granblue Fantasy app available on the Japanese App Store and Google Play storefronts, they cannot be downloaded from non-Japanese storefronts. This is because the Granblue Fantasy mobile game app has not officially released in regions outside of Japan. However, the game has an official English language localization and can be accessed from any region outside of Japan.

The app can still be downloaded with Japanese-region accounts, but it's much easier to play the game in Safari or a Chromium-based browser.

How do I get the SkyLeap app?

Similar to the official Granblue Fantasy app, SkyLeap can only be downloaded from Japanese app storefronts. However, SkyLeap can still be installed on non-Japanese devices if the IPA (iOS) or APK (Android) is obtained from other third-party sites, such as QooApp

gbf.wiki is not responsible for how you obtain and install IPA/APK files. Download and install files from third parties at your own risk!

The official GBF website has a link to the Chrome App for Granblue Fantasy, but it doesn't work. Help!

Google discontinued support for Chrome Apps in March 2020. This includes Granblue Fantasy's Chrome App.

Even though the offical Granblue Fantasy English website (https://granbluefantasy.jp/en/index.php ) advertises playing on the Chrome App, the website has not been updated in many years. Do not use the Chrome App!

How to access the game and create an account

	Granblue requires the use of third-party cookies. If your browser is set to block third-party cookies, you will be repeatedly logged out of Granblue as you browse the game. Ensure you allow third-party cookies as a whole (or just for Granblue) before proceeding.

Go to the main website at https://game.granbluefantasy.jp/
Scroll down to the section labelled "言語設定 / Set Language". Change the dropdown below from "日本語" (i.e. Japanese) to "English".
The page should refresh. Now press the New Game button.
You will be prompted to view and agree to the Terms of Service. (This is only in Japanese, however.)
View the Terms of Service page, scroll down to the bottom, and agree to the terms.
You will then be prompted to pick your Main Character's (MC) gender. This will affect your MC's appearance. Your MC's gender can be changed at any time later.

Starting the tutorial and first story segment

A brief introduction will play and the tutorial segment will start. This will alternate between visual novel story segments and tutorial battles. The battles also contain dialogue, so don't skip the explanations if it is your first time.

Note: The tutorial is known to be buggy. Sometimes things won't load correctly, or will randomly revert to Japanese. If that happens, try refreshing the page, or in the worst case, start from the beginning again.

The tutorial has the following path:

Tutorial Fight
- Elements, Charge Attacks, and target selection. Note that tutorial fights do not allow you to click on elements of the UI that would normally be clickable.
Visual Novel Segment
- The following story segment will prompt for your MC's name. "Gran" is default male name and "Djeeta" is the default female name. If you skip this scene, the prompt will be skipped and will be automatically assigned the default name for your gender. It is highly recommended not to skip your name prompt as your name can only be changed every few months.
Tutorial Fight
- Summons.
Visual Novel Segment
Tutorial Fight
- Character skills, chain bursts, multi-wave battles, and controlling multiple characters.
Visual Novel Segment
Map and Quest Selection Tutorial
- This will show you selection of map points, quests that appear at those points, and how to borrow Friend Summons from other players.
Visual Novel Segment
Side-Scrolling Scenes Tutorial
Visual Novel Segment
Tutorial Fight
- Potions, loot drops, and multiattacks.
The main game screen will show up at this point, but the tutorial is still taking place and you will not have full control. You must still follow the instructions and click on the buttons they tell you. Clicking the Draw button will initiate a special story sequence.
You will be shown the Rupie Draw. This draw is rigged, and will always draw Main Gauche, resulting in you recruiting Walder.
Party Creation and Equip Tutorial
- You will be instructed to use Auto Select, but this is usually not a good option in regular game play. You should always try to select your characters, weapons, and summons yourself, as the Auto Select often makes inefficient, unhelpful choices.

Account Registration

You will now be prompted to link with an account provider. Granblue does not handle logins itself directly. Instead, it relies on one of several available third party services. You must choose a third party service to handle Granblue logging into the game. All these screens will be in Japanese.

Granblue currently offers support for four account providers:

Mobage (Recommended!)
GREE (Only available on devices detected as mobile phones)
DMM Games (Only available in Japan. Not recommended as they attempt to block users who do not live in Japan. You may be permanently locked out of your account if you sign up with DMM.)
Yahoo! Japan (Not recommended)

Mobage Registration

The following section explains how to register a Mobage account. Mobage is the most used account service for Granblue players outside of Japan and has the least caveats compared to other services.

Select the "Mobage" button
Type in your preferred registration email.
Check your registered e-mail and enter the 4-digit verification code in the following screen.
The next screen is in Japanese which you can use Google Translate to navigate. It asks for the following information (from top to bottom)
- Mobage display name (this will not be your in-game display name)
- Password
- Re-type password
- Gender (Can't be changed after registration. Doesn't affect Main Character's gender in Granblue.)
- Birth date (year, month, day)
- Checkbox 1: Publicly display your birth date (optional)
- Checkbox 2: Receive advertisements from mobage (optional)
Enter in your information, then click the green button. If successful, you'll be taken to another screen with a green button which will let you obtain your first Beginner's Daily Bonus item, Premium Draw Ticket. Linking your account will also let you access New Skyfarer Step Up Special that allows you to do 100 rolls on a 6% SSR banner for free.

- 閉じる will close the popup.

Post-Registration

After any special welcome messages due to running events (such as the occasional special roulettes), you will be logged into the main game screen, and presented with a message prompting you to draw 10 items for free. This draw is semi-rigged, and will always give you an SSR character from a special limited pool. ( Zeta, Carmelina, Melleau, Charlotta, De La Fille or Lady Grey)

You will get another free 10-part draw each day for the next six days as well.

From here, you are officially registered and can play the main game of Granblue Fantasy.

Things to do next

Perform one-time account-level tasks and setting customisation to receive free items and remove annoyances.
Use any free draws you have. This includes the free 10-draw every day in your first week, as well as any free draws you may have received from an ongoing promotion or festival.
Play through the Main Quests to enjoy the story, unlock fights, and gain more characters as you progress.
- Progressing through Chapter 1 will trigger a mini-tutorial about changing Classes. Finishing Chapter 1 will trigger a brief reminder tutorial on map point selection again.
- Once you finish Chapter 1, you can choose to "swiftly sail" past certain chunks of the story and receive a brief summary of that section. If you are playing Granblue after finishing Season 2 of the Anime, using the skip option twice so you end up at Chapter 28 will leave you at approximately the point the anime ended. (The anime had somewhat different events happen than the game version of the story, however, so you may wish to start from the beginning to make sure you didn't miss anything.) You need to have no point in particular selected to see this option. If it's not visible you may need to go to the Home screen and then press the Quest button again.
- Progressing through the main story will also unlock Side Stories. These offer new Summons, Characters, and Weapons.
Check out any currently running Events. Note that as a new player, not all events may be suitable for you:
- New Story Events are likely to be sequels or follow-on events from past events or Side Stories, and may assume story knowledge that you do not have. Check the wiki page for the event for details - events that are part of an ongoing series will list previous events
- Certain battle events may initially be too difficult for your team to beat all associated fights (e.g., Proving Grounds, Rise of the Beasts, Dread Barrage, Unite and Fight, Tower of Babyl.) Make sure to check out the details of the event on the wiki if you are unsure.
