Sparkling stars are everlasting.
They do not die when they retreat from sight.

True terror lies in forgetting our foes.
Fear not the fangless bite of condemnation.

The pain of today will serve
as a battle cry for tomorrow.
The foundation of our future
will spring from grief.
Sacrifice the lives of mortals.
Uphold the eternal.

All is for the sake of the skies.
May the gods who guard the gate
bestow blessings upon the children who follow.

Voiced Trailer

Japanese	EnglishThis is an unofficial, amateur translation.
昔々も今も変わらず、 誰かの正義は誰かの非道。 奪い奪われ廻り廻って、 時は流れてどんぶらこ。 踏み躙られた化け物に 初めて温もりを与えたのは 小さな小さな女の子。 彼女の語る儚い嘘を、 よすがに獣は明日を願う。 ただ寄り添って、歩む明日を。 次回、グランブルーファンタジー 『灯幻連理双紙』 叶わぬ夢と知りながら、 それでも見たい夢もある。

Trailer Teaser Text

This text only appears in the voiced trailer pop-up window.

Since the beginning of rational thought,
one's justice becomes another's injustice—
to take and be taken from, time and time again,
for as long as history has been written.

Only knowing the cruelty of others,
one creature discovers the warmth of comfort
from a small, frail girl.

She spins fanciful daydreams into tales
so that her beastly companions can believe
they will all live to see a better tomorrow.

Next up in Granblue Fantasy,
A Tale of Kindled Bonds

No matter how futile the dream,
hope will never die.
