The Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024 pamphlet had a two-page spread with welcome messages from the 12 featured characters, and also had a selection of questions for them about their experience with either Fes 2024 or festivals in general. They’re fun and fast, so we’ve translated them and put them here on the Grandcypher so that they can be read together, as intended.
Vane
Fest is finally here! I always have trouble sleeping the night before a big day, so how are you doing, Captain? I know you want to have fun, but make sure you get some rest while you can, then you can really go wild at Fest!
Q: What do you recommend at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024?
Check this out – in the food court, there are a bunch of dishes that were created by me, Lancey, Percy, and Siefried! I can’t recommend just one of them to you, just get them all! Let me know what you think after you’re done!
Payila
I bid you welcome, Captain. Within the walls of GBF Fes, there gather many skyfarers of like mind and heart. Join hands with them, tell your tales, and enjoy this Fes to its fullest. The memories will shine like the brightest treasure in your hoard.
Q: What do you recommend at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024?
There are too many wonders to list, but if I had to choose just one… it would likely be Stella Magna’s concert. Their songs have captured my heart and never let go. They truly are a treasure, and I would fly to any end of the sky to listen to them play.
Horus
So, you’ve decided to spend some of your precious mortal time here with us. Thank you. Your daily life may become burdensome at times, so I hope you can spread your wings for just this moment. But don’t forget to be considerate to your fellow seafarers.
Q: If you could enjoy this festival with someone, who would you go with? Where to?
Almost certainly Ra. I don’t know who else would even respond to the invitation. I wouldn’t mind trying any of the games, but I think Ra would be most interested in the ring toss and target games, and seeing her enjoy herself is enough for me.
Magus
Thank you for coming today to the Astaroth Sycophants Society, and welcome. We’re right over here. Fest? Don’t worry about that, sit down and let me tell you all about the wonders of Astaroth’s glory. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Q: If you could enjoy this festival with someone, who would you go with? Where to?
That’s a stupid question. Why would you ask it knowing that the only answer is Astaroth? All I need is for Astaroth to grace us with his presence again. I’d like you trash to stay out of the way and prostrate yourselves before his glory, or forage for a meal from the food stalls or something.
Medusa
You came all this way to see us? Not bad. Have fun, but don’t go too crazy. Don’t you dare go overboard and get yourself hurt! You mortals aren’t as tough as us Primals are.
Q: Tell us a festival memory.
A festival? Or Fest? Well… I watched one of Baal’s concerts before. There were mortals everywhere having a great time, and it’s not like I don’t like big parties. It wasn’t so bad…
Fenie
Yay! It’s been 900 years since I got to be in a festival! I can’t wait for it to start! I’m so glad I met you! What kind of food and games do you think they’ll have? I want to see everything with you!
Q: Tell us a festival memory.
I went to a festival once with Melin and Farhana! There were so many more people than I’d ever seen in one place, and we had so much fun! They gave me lots of candy, the dancers were fun to watch, and I had a big smile on my face all day.
Chichiri
Thanks for coming to Fes today, Captain! There are so many fun attractions here today, go enjoy them! If you get tired, sit down and show me your feet, I’ll give them such a–just kidding! Have a great day!
Q: Tell us a festival memory.
I’ll never forget the festival that all the Saints went to together. Ami hid behind me the whole time and was just the cutest, Shushuku ran out of money instantly and that was cute too, and we all laughed when we lost sight of Uruki for a second and found her working a stall!
Lucilius
How pointless. Stop wasting my time.
Q: If you could enjoy this festival with someone, who would you go with? Where to?
I would go wherever my whims took me, but Belial would try and tag along whether I wanted him to or not. It’s a waste of effort to chase him off when he’s acting like that, so I’d let him take me to an apple stand or something.
Aglovale
You have undoubtedly been looking forward to some of these attractions. I have as well. Festivals are made not just by the staff who apply their creativity to the attractions, but are completed by the play and joy of the festival attendees. It requires both sides working with one another.
Q: If you could enjoy this festival with someone, who would you go with? Where to?
When I was young, I went with my mother to a festival in Wales and tried to catch small fish. However, I was inexperienced with the net and couldn’t catch any. For my revenge match, I’d like my brothers there and no one else as we try and scoop those fish.
Raziel
I’m writing The Book of Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024, but there are so many highlights to cover! I’ll need your help! Investigate all the enigmas here, and then the Archangel of Enigmas will collate all of them!
Q: What do you recommend at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024?
It’s Cafe Millennia for sure. The whole menu is amazing! I haven’t tried it all yet, so The Book of Cafe Millennia remains incomplete. If you get some, let me know what you think! That’s another important enigma to unravel.
Joy
Thanks for coming, everyone! So many happy skyfarers! So many fun things, fun games, so have fun! Gongggg!
Q: What do you recommend at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2024?
They call it a “stage”? Where they sing, dance, and that’s so exciting! Joy would like to be on stage some day! Joy will have to practice! Wow wow wow wow ♪
