Granblue Fantasy was announced recently at the Roppongi Nico Fare event, where Minaba, Uematsu, and many famous voice actors gathered for the unveiling. According to Cygames director Yuita Kimura, the project started after he expressed his wish to create a game with Minaba, and felt that if he were to make a game with him, he felt it was necessary to also ask for UematsuÔÇÖs help as well.
Nobuo Uematsu, who has composed various music for the Final Fantasy series and has worked extensively with Minaba in the past, says that heÔÇÖs been asked if he could possibly compose something with an Irish-sounding tune. Since heÔÇÖs always been fond of Irish music, he was immediately interested.
ÔÇ£I believe that my fans may feel a sense of nostalgia from this,ÔÇØ shared Uematsu with a smile, adding that he has already finished composing 11 songs for the game.
Kobayashi also shares some of his thoughts upon seeing Minaba and UematsuÔÇÖs works during the early stages of development. ÔÇ£I thought to myself, ÔÇÿCan we really make a mobile RPG with such a large-scale feeling from this?ÔÇÖ but after seeing the game screen, I was truly surprised,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs as if you completely forget that youÔÇÖre playing a mobile game.ÔÇØ
