The battle system here is much akin to classic turn-based RPGs. And Granblue Fantasy definitely stands out. The aesthetic charm, over-arching story featuring elemental Primals (a common theme), focus on character relationships, and class and party system all call back to a more simple and adventurous time in RPG gaming when developers were always trying something different to stand out.
Granblue Fantasy is one of many mobile RPGs that are the modern equivalent of the RPGs seen on the Super Nintendo and PlayStation in the '90s. In today's industry with budgets high enough to feed an entire country, there's no way for these developers to continue to compete on the console market. The genre was never known for its big budgets.

What matters here is that all these series have migrated to mobile, for better or for worse, and in time mobile platforms will be the sole go-to for classic-style Japanese RPGs. When the Mana, SaGa, Valkyrie, and other reputable series are getting new Japan-only mobile titles, it really makes non-Japanese RPG gamers tilt their heads. Granblue Fantasy is one of many RPGs to hit the Japanese mobile market in the past few years to pique the interest of international JRPG fans but has been kept in its native region. But clasped in the other hand is the acceptance that the Japanese RPG industry has moved to mobile, and that these games aren't necessarily bad or not worth it because they're on what most hardcore gamers consider the most casual of platforms.
On one hand, it feels like a fall from grace that these amazing creators who were once so well-known in console RPG gaming have ended up working on mobile games.
