"+++lead-in-text\n\nI wish this photo did a better job of capturing the absolute insane enormity of the Tokyo Game Show booth for *Granblue Fantasy*, a mobile game released in 2013 that I had not heard of until I saw its ridiculous, gigantic airship towering over everything else in the vicinity. It's not just some papier-mache or inflatable; the cosplaying booth attendants can actually walk up and onto this thing, posing for photos on its deck.\n\n+++\n\nIf you're wondering exactly how much money free-to-play games are raking in in Japan, this is the best indicator. User acquisition is expensive, and an ostentatious display of this manner is just what the game needs to draw as many eyeballs as possible at Tokyo Game Show.\n\nReally, I mean, it's really *really* big.\n\n"
