Is Granblue Fantasy: Relink a gacha game?

No, unlike the original game, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is not a gacha title.

Every character in Relink can be unlocked through in-game progression by playing through the main story and completing quests. With a fairly sizeable roster at launch, it’s understandable that some may have been worried about certain fighters being locked behind microtransactions but thankfully no gacha elements are featured in the game.

More characters could be made available in future DLC expansions (especially considering how many there are in the original Granblue Fantasy) but given that Relink is a full-price release, it seems highly unlikely that a gacha system will be implemented down the line.
