Just praying it still gets a PS3 version.

New Characters

From the novels, I think? Seems to work for Rachel.

Hibiki Kohaku
(Kagura's assistant from CP, WTF.)

Can't wait. Story looks like it's getting ramped up to 11, too.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

    I was literally just gonna post this.

    That said, I'm still hoping for Jubei, especially with Nine finally being playable.

    And honestly, I expect Mai Natsume to be playable in the console release wither through DLC or a revision.

    Isn't naoto Kurogane from Persona 4?

    Edit: no it's Shirogane. How humorous!

    Hoping for Mai as a Console (or DLC) character still.

    Wonder if Nine will be playable in Arcades or if she's a boss character being saved for the Console versions as playable?

    Notice it says 'Act 1'. I have a feeling this will be last/cross gen, and the finale will be PS4.

    Huh. Elemental combinations for different spells. That's a huge list of moves, but looks like tons of them require setup. I wonder how she'll compare to Rachel and Mu.

    I'm still holding out hope for Jubei for the Console release with Mai as DLC.

    He better be, considering that his wife is playable and he actually returned to active combat in the last game's story mode but wasn't playable. Damn you ASW for the teasing in your story modes.

    I always wanted Izanami in a fighting game, but this wasn't quite what I had in mind.
    (P4's is still the best Izanami.)

    Lambda, Mu, Nu, Saya/Izanami, Noel, I guess if you count Mu and Noel separately.


    Also, supposedly Hibiki is a tier beast now? Nine is reportedly low tier. Yay, more fun for me when I bury the haters.

    Yeah, it adds up if you count Mu and Noel separately, but... that's silly. Especially after it's basically a change of... er... clothes for her to pull out Murakumo.

    Found CF at AX.

    Looks like the PS4 JP version. The radio silence about the presence of a dub is worrisome.

    BlazBlue: Central Fiction has received a new character trailer for Es from Arc System Works.

    Es made her first appearance in XBlaze Code: Embryo. She new joins the cast of the five new fighters heading to BlazeBlue: Central Fiction. Including, Natoto Kurogane, Nine the Phantom, Hibiki Kohaku, and Hades Izanami.

    The trailer shows off Es’s fighting style, as well as, her special attacks.

    You can watch the trailer below:

    My firs thought on seeing that picture was that they'd put Saber in.

    I think it's pretty deliberate, even her fighting style reminds me of Saber. Her voice, too.

    Sector Seven's story in Extend is really good, though it kind of feels like an excuse to tie Azrael into everything. Also, I love that voice unlocks are tied to clearing arcade mode, not DLC.

    Got the best narrator back, Jin's. Prease. serectaa you caractaa.

    From conversations within and without, it's safe to say the dub is gone. I'm 99.99% positive.

    That's extremely sad for story mode. They did some pretty incredible work in the previous games.

    That said, everyone I played with switched to japanese voices for VS mode in CP. We could only take Ragna telling us we're stupid every single time he blocks a thing for so long.

    And don't even get me started on Hazama's Super Snake Kick.

    I've heard that CP was super rushed, which explains some things. They probably didn't have the time or patience to do a massive script like CF justice with a dub, so they're just throwing it out there without one.

    I'm gonna miss the gag reels.
