seipherzero Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Alright, hope this does it. I'll leave the torrent up for now. Probably gonna limit the U/L speed though. Choose your poison: MediaFire Megaupload Edit: Forgot to add pages 18-24 in the torrent. Here's a zip file with the missing pages. MediaFire: BlazBlue Material Collection pages 18-24 MegaUpload: BlazBlue Material Collection pages 18-24
Jourdal Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 WOAH..thanks man..my dad was teasing me cuz the torrent was stuck EDIT- downloaded..looks fine to me..quality is great too...thanks a lot man..i personally say you can kill the torrent. EDIT 2- Jins old concepts looked...ugly..love the final design though..and holy shit they have sketches of some of his normals..perfect for my BlazBlue comic
Irrsinn Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ITS MOTHERFUCKING JEDI MASTER KISARAGI. Also, I'd rather like to have the pictures in glorious high resolution, if its possible. EDIT: Uh, so many unused bugs for Arakune, also, Ragna was supposed to transform into the black beast in his astral, lets hope he does in CS, or in the next game.
Jourdal Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 They also have the perfect pose for Sekkajin..i was struggling with how to handle that.... One of Litchi's concepts is...ughh slutty to say the least. I need to buy this book myself..i can't be a BB fan and not have this.
Irrsinn Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Heh EDIT: Did you guys notice that the thing Hakumen is killing in his picture has a hand?
Suzaku Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 Alright, here comes some more translations, this time from pages 138-139: Teach Me, Ms. Litchi! Setting Episode "Ka-gut-suchi" is too biiig, mew. Tao nyalways gets lost when she goes for a walk. Tao's gonna starve to death before she finds that "Rawrgna," meoooow... You'll never become a vigilante if you don't learn your way around. So, I'll explain the structure of Kagutsuchi and all the places in the setting of BlazBlue. Tao, are you paying attention? The fourteen different stages scattered throughout "Kagatuschi" As a consequence of the Dark War, "seithr" spread across the lands. Seithr was a necessity for mankind, but became toxic in high concentrations. Therefore, man founded cities high in the mountains where the seithr was relatively thin. The setting of this story, "Kagutsuchi," is a Hierarchical City located on a mountain range. The combined size of Kagutsuchi's layers is comparable to the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Even now it's continually expanding, and as such is referred to as the "Incomplete City." Found at Kagutsuchi's peak, the "Novus Orbis Librarium" branch in Kagutsuchi is responsible for protecting the peace. The wealthy live in the highest layers. The lowest layers are home to the poor, and the native inhabitants of the region live in the central layers. Where one lives depends on their social status. Furthermore, these sorts of Hierarchical Cities are scattered all over the world. Refer to page 133 of the glossary for a compiled list of the Hierarchical Cities. Additionally, the names of the Hierarchical Cities originate from the pantheon of Japanese mythology. Check into this if you're interested and I'm sure you'll find it fascinating. ※The 13th Hierarchical City "Kagutsuchi" [ 1] port AM10:30 A place resembling an airport that connects Kagutsuchi and the other Hierarchical Cities. An airship known as an Ark Navimagus [unofficial localization] is seen in the background of the stage, moving around. [ 1] port PM21:00 The port at night. It's also known by the nickname "Fifth Avenue." There are other similar-looking streets, but Fifth Avenue is smaller in scale than most. [ 2] Orient town A town where poor people have congregated. It's extremely lively, but large quantities of seithr seep in due to its proximity to the lower layers. Litchi lives here. [ 3] Cathedral #1 A cathedral. It's the location of the Novus Orbis Librarium branch in Kagutsuchi, and there's a magnificent giant statue of a goddess in the stage's background. [ 3] Cathedral #2 An exclusive stage for the consumer edition, in which the praetorian guards on the stairs to the right are missing. Don't you think this should be the one that Ragna invades? [ 4] Halloween A mysterious place somewhere in the world. It's the Alucard castle where Rachel lives (with Nago, Gii, and Valkenhayn). [ 4] Requiem An exclusive stage for Ragna vs Rachel. Unlike Rachel's normal stage, the roses blooming all over the place are pure white instead of red. [ 5] lost town Taokaka's home, a place also known as the Kaka clan's village. Though it's located in the lowest layer of the city, the Kaka clan's potent vitality isn't affected by the seithr. [ 6] RONIN GAI Built by refugees from Ikaruga, it's a town with Japanese-style taste. The bridge was constructed over a lower layer of Kagutsuchi where nobody lived. [ 7] AREA 28 A gathering place for residual seithr, people illegally dump "trash" here. The NOL apparantly doesn't want to get involved... It's what lies beneath Kagutsuchi's beautiful facade. [ 8] THE GATE The deepest part of Kagutsuchi. It can be reached by descending in a hidden NOL elevator. Hakumen was waiting for Ragna here. [ 8] SHEOL GATE AD2199/12/31 The Gates of Sheol. These are located beneath each Hierarchical city, and when the "tempering" of Nu's shell is completed the whole device activates, opening the gate. [ 9] Train An exclusive stage for the consumer edition. It has a different atmosphere from other areas in Kagutsuchi, and the stage is cluttered with mechanical structures. [10] Circus The circus. An exclusive stage for the consumer edition, there are gizmos in the stage that actually work as time passes. A variety of dolls will start moving around. That's a lotta places Tao hasn't been to... Neow that I learned about all of 'em, I can go home to the village and eat dinner, meow. Everybody be careful so you don't get lost in Ka-gut-suchi too, meooow!
mAc Chaos Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Did anyone notice that weird freakish giant whale fish thing in that Train level? It hovers behind the trains, looking at you with its several eyes. What the heck is that?
Soothesayer Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 ^Agreed. Monorail is my favorite stage. Fighting atop a moving monorail a hundred feet off the ground from day to night while being followed by a giant flying gentically altered whale? Simply epic. Thanks for these, had a blast looking through them. Litchi's concepts were yucky, guess there is a such thing as TOO much cleavage. Was Ragna holding Dante's Rebellion in one of the gag sketches?
kosmos badgirl Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I'm going to get the book the next week but thanks for the scans.
Moy_X7 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Did anyone notice that weird freakish giant whale fish thing in that Train level? It hovers behind the trains, looking at you with its several eyes. What the heck is that? It kinda reminds me of Sin from Final Fantasy X.
Suzaku Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 Updated my BlazBlue Chronology post to a full translation of the Teach Me, Ms. Litchi! History Episode found on pages 132-133. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=466266&postcount=112
Sorael Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 What the heck? I second the notion that Jin's early sketches look weird, light sabres make me lol and the second top middle one says no all over
Hecatom Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 lol, my copy of the book come yesterday:kitty:, i was expecting it until the next week :P
Jourdal Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Isn't Monorail Ragna's new stage in CS? The very first BB console Video i saw was Ragna VS Jin (on IGN) and they fought on Monorail and I'm like..this has gotta be Ragna's stage.
Irrsinn Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I thought Ragna's new stage was the same as before but with the rain.
Jourdal Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 No that stage you just described was Terumi's stage, Ragna now has Monorail...where he was sleeping at the beginning of his story.
