やはり現存している資料の中にそれらしき記述はないか フェードラッヘの罪 カムランで出会ったあの声が言っていた この国に隠された後ろ暗い過去 この国には一体どれだけの秘密が隠されているんだろう 次回、グランブルーファンタジー 『彼者誰に竜は哭く』 どんな真実が待ち受け受けていたとしても 俺はもう迷ったりはしない

Trailer Teaser Text

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

Glory, prosperity, advancement.
Secrecy, betrayal, sacrifice.

There are two sides to every story.
However much the truth is denied,
it remains, unchanging.

None must be permitted to turn away
from the transgressions of the past.

Next up in Granblue Fantasy,
The Dragon Weeps before Daybreak

The time has come to expose
the sins of Feendrache.
