Zedar90 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 My impression of that image with Tager is that it's a vision again and that vision is Tager having killed Noel and Kagura, and Tager is denying it saying that it wasn't him. But, too little context for now. Hope act 2 is released at the latest in January.

Based on his response it could very well be that he might have taken Nine's idea to heart and sets out to get Ragna Black Beastified. We don't know yet, but if it's izanami that is giving the piece of azure to everybody than that confirms this theory. 9 hours ago, Luminos564 said: You'll also notice that unlike the other characters who were shown in the Act 2 trailer, he's crushing that Azure shard in his hand as opposed to holding it. That might be important somewhere down the line. You know azrael is special, he's not crushing it, he's taking it in the ruthless style we know. Unless he can absorb the azure that way, he wouldn't destroy it.
Fenris Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 With the silhouette of what's theorized to be Sayanami having been shown in the next act, it sorta makes you wonder who the main antagonist of the endgame is going to be and what role they'll play in closing the "Ragna saga." Something's telling me that the console version is going to have one DOOZY of a story mode.
Balguna Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I've noticed that Carl now calls Nirvana by name instead of 'nee-san/Sis'. Is this a new change or has he ever called it Nirvana in previous games?

In Carl's ilusion Ada is sick in bed and his father gave him Nirvana, now he's in serach for the Azure to heal Ada.
GEKKA Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Something I've noticed from the videos I've watched is that the Six Heroes theme doesn't play in matchups with Platinum in them. Seeing the clip where Trinity's spirit is with Jin makes me wonder. Do you guys think it is possible Trinity will get her own playable character down the line? Personally I don't, but then again Celica found a way so I guess anything is possible.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 That was my first thought when I found out she was just a spirit. I wouldn't be against it, especially if we can have all of the Six Heroes officially. I mean Terumi is technically a spirit too and he's playable.
Moy_X7 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 It doesn't seem too unreasonable, I mean we do have Lambda and Nu in the same game after all. Since we're on the subject, what's Platinum's background again? All I know about her is that Jubei raised her. How old was she when he found her and did she have a name at that time or did Jubei just give her that name?

"Ghost Trinity" possessing Jin's body so they can have a new character while re using assets, you get Jin's sprites but with Aoi Yuki voice. Have fun.

We just know she's from Ikaruga and was trained by Jubei. How Luna and Sena ended up sharing one body is completely unknown. Some people speculate that the body "Platinum" is a materalisation created by Muchourin, and Luna and Sena are two dominate souls in Muchourin's core that drives the body. There's literally nothing on Platinum's history... which sucks.

Moy_X7 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Mmm, hopefully we get more information regarding her background once we get the console version.
Volt Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Tager surrounded by bodies explanation: Kagura commented on Bullet's Hot Pants and she flipped out. On a much more serious note, dat plot. Thanks for translating the summaries of the arcade endings Zedar. So, we know a lot about the arcade act I right now... Dammit Mori, how are you supposed to end this thing if everytime you answer a question you put 3 in its place? Act II looks like we predicted though, Nine sics everyone but Azrael at Nine during act I, but it appears she's handing out shards of the Azure to everyone in the prologue of Act II, or else Azrael' picture will make even less sense. (I mean, fine you can rip a dimensional prison and get back to a world mostly nuked by seithr and get inside of the embryo and still wreck everyone with your bare hands, but crushing that plot device? Really?) Question is: We don't know what snapped Nine out of Mind Eater. For all intents and purposes, if that azure orb of flames is a fragment of the azure and arakune didn't play dumb in the trailer, shouldn't Amaterasu be packing that blue heat? Btw, poor Amane. Dude be like: "I just want to watch" and then Nine fights him and says "Nope, now you're involved. Now go fulfill your duties in the plot, such as making Ragna miserable (like everyone else lol.) and drill the **** out of Izanami. Mori loves you, have fun."
churchblue Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I still think that was Saya Terumi in the act ii trailer. Her speech pattern sounds different than Hades.
Master Of Chaos Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 The speaker in the trailer doesn't sound different from Izanami in any way whatsoever.

Master Of Chaos Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Ada is still Nirvana in reality, it's just that Carl's memories have been altered to make him believe otherwise.
Luminos564 Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Alright since we've not got that much to talk about what with Act 2 not yet released, I've got to ask: what are people's thoughts on Nine pulling this whole Embryo scenario? I mean I can understand it being a space designed to mold Ragna into a more proficient Anti-Izanami countermeasure (main character privileges and all that) but what of the rest? What would be the point in altering Carl's memories on who Nirvana really is? What's the point of making Litchi forget her body is nary a day left to spare before she turns into a Sludge Mamma? I mean OK so you're peeking into and deconstructing all of their wishes/desires and maybe giving out a pep-talk or 2 but isn't messing with their memories detrimental to your cause? Half the time it looks like Nine's doing this for kicks and giggles (like with Amane and Bullet).

Half the time it looks like Nine's doing this for kicks and giggles (like with Amane and Bullet). When we pay attention to this game's plot, no matter why or when there's always a moment when everyone stops, breathes and says: "I have no idea about what's going on." The only (temporary?) answer is to scream while looking skyward: "Moooooorrrrrrriiiiiiii!!!!!!" Ok, seriously, maybe Relius had a bit of an influence on Nine. Some of her actions look like pure "What if? styled Science". Some are somewhat understandable, like sending Azrael to force Ragna to go all out and wind up having to deal with the elephant in the room that we call "Rags' Black Beast". Obviously we can't have an encore of what happened at the end of CP if Ragna is going to body Izanami. Amane knows too much and does too little, so he needed a push. Like Link. Carl somewhat reached his endgoal. Bring Ada to her body, kill Relius. Not really helpful to the plot, especially since Relius is well... Relius. If someone can pull some crazy plot devices like sealing Izanami to a puppy and kicking it, that's either him or Terumi. Nine doesn't exactly dig the second option. Have no idea about Litchi though. Less drama, blobs and I dunno, get her to stick to a side I guess. I don't really know, it doesn't look like she's pulling the strings alone on this one, so maybe she's either following orders that doesn't make much sense now or she's just trying to do a quick patch on people so they can focus on hatin' Izanami.
Stryker115 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 We still haven't even gotten an Izanagi yet... Who knows? Maybe Act.III?
BlackYakuzu94 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Goddamn, so many Arcade modes uploaded at once. So uh...I guess the first thing I noticed, it seems whenever a character fights Jin in their Arcade mode, it seems like the real one and not fabricated by the Embryo and Nine.

Ok that's twice I've seen Lamb-chops duking it out with one of the Six Heroes. The first one was with Haku-men during one of the CF trailers and now she's throwing down with Nine herself. Either she's got a death wish the size of Kagutsuchi or that quote in which she claims she will not allow Ragna to be killed/destroyed means she'd go as far as fighting 2 of the strongest people in all of BB to prevent it (and this of course assumes she doesn't meet up with anyone else that wants him dead). I hope however that (provided it's true) this serves as a means of establishing Lamb-chops as her own separate entity as opposed to merely been a former host for Nu's soul. Clones they all may be but they're all distinct in their own ways.
