Are you trying to understand how to free version and characters work in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising? Here’s what you must know.
The game has a free-to-play version which includes four free characters. One of those is Gran, while the other three rotate and change every week.
Let’s go through everything you need to know about the free version and characters in GFVR.
Free Version Characters Explained in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising launches with 28 characters, but if you got the free version, you won’t have all of them available. Instead, you will have four free characters: Gran and three random ones that change every week.
For instance, during launch week, the available characters are Gran, DJeeta, Zeta, and Sigfried. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to unlock any characters.
If you want to try a specific one, you’ll just have to wait until they come into rotation. Alternatively, if you’re enjoying the game, you can consider buying the full version.
Other GFVR Free Version Limitations
Other than the limit of available characters, here’s everything you need to know about the free version of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising:
- Can’t create custom rooms & invite friends
- Can only play Act 1 of the main story
- Max character level 80 & account level 40
- Limited features in the training mode
Overall, the Free Version works more like a demo. You can play Ranked and Casual, but the character limitation will make you upgrade to the normal version sooner or later.
Also, in the free version, you can’t play with your friends; and that’s half of the fun in a fighting game!
Wrapping up
To summarize, the Free version of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising only grants you access to four free characters.
One of those is Gran, while the other three will rotate randomly every week. Additionally, it has some other limitations in terms of story progression and game modes available. Overall, I recommend using the demo to see if you enjoy the game and then consider upgrading to the full version.
