Ready Up interview Arc System Works' Toshimichi Mori about the BlazBlue series and the communities supporting them. Includes a chance to win an amazing BlazBlue prize pack including a copy of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift for the Xbox 360, concept art, manga comic and more.
"Getting into a long-standing fighting game series is always a challenge for new players. There are so many characters and different versions to go over for many of them and going up against seasoned players who’ve been with the series for years is one of the biggest barriers. BlazBlue, however, has something a lot of other games don’t have; a ton of story. The series is known for having a lot of story content, which can make that initial barrier even harder for new players because if they jump into a new game and play the story mode, they aren’t going to be able to follow it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
BlazBlue: Continuum would be a good game to sell online as a full game on PSN or XBL
