I know about it. Still found it funny with how similar the name sounded.

Hopefully everyone's in and they add more characters. Please no more CP bullshit DLC rip offs.
I've come to expect this from fighting games. I just hope Arcsys doesn't go overboard on the GG revisions like before. The number of X2 revisions are ridiculous.
Th final BB game staring Ragna? I can believe that. The final BB fighting game? I don't think ArcSys can walk away from all that potential revision money they can rake in. Unless I'm wrong and they truly intend to dead the series after a revision to this game.
Perhaps one day we'll get that GG vs BB crossover dream match game be all craved since BB first released :3 (doubtful).
You have a point. Also, it is interesting for that the last names have opposite colors in them.
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma
BlazBlue: Central Fiction
Everything else was either updated versions of the same games (the Extend versions) or spinoffs (Xblaze visual novels etc)

wait
Do we even have CP Extend stateside yet?
Edit: Wow, somehow Extend flew right under my radar. Oh well, this is the usual for ASW so whatevs.

I wouldn't be surprised if by the time this comes out they're actually pretty close with the PC releases.
They only just announced this, it's not like it's out tomorrow.
Cool. Where's her guitar though?

Even more funny considering Shirogane and Kurogane are (/could be, depending on kanji) the same name just with "white" instead of "black".
The kane is the same..
Was this in the Extend version only??
If i didnt play CP Extend, did i miss anything?? I only play these for the story, honestly
A new standard for guilty gear, yes as the visuals for that game were built around what a dreamcast could do on a 480p display. Dosen't mean they're just going to throw away all the work they put into BlazBlue, which is still a series they're actively working on and doesn't look dated since its designed for HD displays.
Not so glorious now that Celica's in it.
The bit about Ragna is in the original CP version, not just extend. It's literally the end of the game's story where he saves Nu.
The abridged story of CT/CS was in extend only. Also there is some added story stuff with new gag endings in CP Extend. Nothing important in the grand scheme of things but I found them fun.
I bought the first Continuum Shift and barely played it. Honestly by now I almost feel I can skip the franchise entirely, or keep waiting forever for the "Complete edition".

I'm liking the new look for the meters and general HUD. Also is it just my imagination or did the sprites seem bigger than in previous iterations?
Anyway CP was a great game and a major jump from the previous iterations. It was the only game in the series to feel like a full-fledged sequel to me. So hopefully when Central Fiction drops for NA consoles in 2+ years it's a similar improvement.

Cool. I've never been big on fighting games, but BB has always been a neat looking one.

Oh hey, Nine is finally playable. Still waiting for Jubei though.

What? No, his whereabouts are unknown after he fights you know who.

I find it incredibly hard to believe they'd write off a popular character like that permanently. Besides, Terumi gets legit offed and he's playable in this. I don't see why they couldn't do something with Jubei similar to what they did with Kliff in GG.

Not sure about it, but I hope they can do something with the scaling for PS4, the sprites look a little off in my opinion when you play in PS4.
He was MIA at the end of CP, but obviously he is not dead.

Honestly I think the Extend releases are bigger rip offs than the originals are. CP I think was $50 on launch with 7 new characters and an all new story, and CPEX came out a year later for 10 bucks less with 1 new character (chopping Nu in half does not count as a new character), new gag endings and a much smaller community. CSEX wasn't any better in terms of content either.
Now that I think about it, has a Blazblue game been sold for full-price since CT? I remember CS being $40 on release.
need cross-over now Arc-sys.
I really hoped that "Naoto" written in different kanji.

I've played every Blazblue and I still dont know shit about the story. They throw all these made up terms and concepts and don't bother explaining half of them. Fighting system and music are nice at least.

Immediately what I thought of lol
Maybe I'll jump back in to BB with this.
They are. But you're better off waiting for them to explore all the new character+DLC+New character than buying the original and then having to buy Extended for the balance changes and new character.

Yeah, that's fair. I didn't take DLC into account. All of those song packs, stages and color palettes can add up fast.
Voice, colors, and music pack DLC still has to be brought for Extended version if they were not brought for the original.
