That being said, your comments lead me to believe that there is a fundamental difference with Granblue. In Granblue, you have you as the main character of the party (all formation, really) personified by Gran or Djeeta (male or female) the core part of any party. There is a class system similar to FFT/FF5 which is tiered, and gated by a combination of classes (or jobs). For example, I'm currently leveling up the Superstar job:

It's on the 3rd tier of jobs:

That means, ideally, Granblue's advantage is that, depending on your party needs, you can change your main character's role that best FIT the party dynamics. This makes it quite advantageous over Kamihime in that you're not left at the mercy of a gacha pull.

The party has you (main), 3 additional "front line" slots and 2 "rear" slots. The rule is pretty much that 4 of the 6 in the party is actively engaged at anytime, and if any member of the front is incapacitated, or removed from battle, then the next from the rear will take its place (ignore Haohmaru, he's only in here because of the current Samurai Shodown collab event)

And then there's the weapon and summon grids. While Kamihime is similar with eidolons to Granblue, it lacks the depths that the weapon grids provide. In addition to piecing your party together by considering abilities, both passive, active and ougis, you also have to consider that the weapons and the summons all bring active and passive abilities to the table. Granblue is deep - really, really deep. Kamihime can only ever hope to scratch 5% of the the content Granblue offers. This is why it irritates me that people compare this to-be-released title from Nutaku with Granblue. It's like comparing a Lark scooter with a Ferrari. Sure, they both have wheels and a motor, but that's where the similarities end.
This game is far more similar to granblue than you believe. It has the stand in for the MC that can swap jobs, though it isn't the actual MC. The jobs have two weapons they can use like granblue. Jobs are in 3 tiers the are unlocked by mastering two lower tier jobs,Has the permanent bonuses for mastering a job, has the currency from leveling and events used to buy new jobs and the sub skill slot for other jobs sub skills. It has the same main weapon and 9 sub weapons that provide their stats to the MC and passives to elements. It has the same main summon that provides stats and passives and sub summons that just provide stats.

The games get compared because they share massive similarities the difference is in the details obviously. Kamihime has 1 extra combat member and 1 extra sub summon. Granblue has more passive and active effects and skills because it has a bigger team and has been around much longer.
