Nazuka Kaori notes that the Charlotta voice is a bit brutal on her, but the blessing of Charlotta being a game character and not an anime character is that she doesn’t have to make those sounds once a week. She does have to record for Charlotta before anything else though

After introducing Yodarha and Narmaya, FKHR jokingly noted that the game sure has a lot of swordmasters/kengos

When FKHR shows what happens when you change weapons, Ichiki laughs that he hasn’t seen a Balmung in years.
— Granblue EN (Unofficial) (@granblue_en) January 21, 2023
Narmaya has two different stances, and works similarly to Siegfried. If your timing is perfect, you can swap between her two stances and keep up your offense.

Aaaand there’s Full Assist mode, which Touyama Nao compares to GBF’s Full Auto mode.
