Blazblue: Chrono Phantasm

[Korten12]

A new game with only 3 new characters? That seems not very much for a sequel... Or am I reading this wrong?

Yep, you're reading this wrong, this is a new BLAZBLUE game and the chars are BLAZBLUE chars. Their depth is tantamount to that of about 5 chars in other games, each.

That doesn't make much sense. This is a sequel, there has been two other games. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift.

It said that there was 3 new characters. In Calamity Trigger there was 12 characters, in Shift there was 19 if you added the characters from Shift 2 that was released and DLC. Now this one says it will have 20 as some characters are removed...

That seems kind of a rip off considering it's being sold as the next game in the series with a total of 1 more character then the game before, but with some removed. :/

This is a transition like the one from CT to CS1, only three chars were added there too. The rest were DLC or in subsequent versions, not in the very first one. This will keep with that tradition.


As for removing chars, no char is confirmed for removal, there's most likely gonna be a Mu and Lambda/Nu equivalent in the game, they just can't be the exact same persons cause of story reasons which if you have played the story you should be aware of. They haven't been confirmed yet cause their existence itself would constitute spoilers. You can, however, see Nu's crest in the end of the trailer, in the very last image that flashes on for a second.

I don't really like the designs of the 3 new characters. Noel's art doesn't look that great either, though the ingame model seems much better. Shame that she doesnt have her Beret anymore though.

Looking forward much more to Saya or Nine and Jubei if they plan to release them as dlc sometime. Since Nine is technically dead i suppose they could tie her in with a flashback or something.

I can't for this, it looks awesome. I had not played Xbox for anything other than Skyrim but that may soon change now as I need to play BB again, even if I did suck at it. . Still, this looks awesome!

Nine is basically Phantom so we could have her in some form.
