Kuraudo_V6 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 To throw my two-cents in as far as the Mu-12 thing goes, while I wait to see how they go about it in the game? I'd say the best way to look at this is the whole Gaara thing in Naruto. He lost his tailed beast, but was still really strong and could do sand-based jutsu and his absolute defense was still as good as before. Until we get an in-story reasoning behind Noel's ability to use her Murakumo side? I'll just say that she's not as powerful as she was before after being untempered by Ragna, but can transform the same way Nu went into her battle armor. Thanks to Rachel of course. Why think so hard about why and just think about her being able to get it back to use for good?
ED_Cantu Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 It's definitely Caelica. Same hair and eye colors. Tsubaki's beads are trying to throw us off. Hmm not really in my opinion, the girl from the trailer has different eyes and the hair is different too. And Tsubaki's beads are part of her character, so why put something similar for other character if not to show a connection or resemblance? why put that in a character that we already know that never used them? Finally here's a comparison image of Caelica, Tsubaki and the girl from the trailer:

Finally here's a comparison image of Caelica, Tsubaki and the girl from the trailer: Not in your comparison image is "Dark" Tsubaki's artwork where she actually has the red eyes now from Phantom's influence. You don't really need to change it, but people who don't know might comment about the different eye color. I personally think it is just Tsubaki in a different outfit. Not even going to bother speculating about story implications at this point for her.
Takoto Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 It's definitely Caelica. Same hair and eye colors. Tsubaki's beads are trying to throw us off. It's been said before but, they eyes are the same as dark!Tsubaki. Why would Caelica be wearing Tsubaki's beads, or any like that? She never wore any outfit like that in any of the novels. The outfit looks black lined with gold, like dark!Tsubaki's outfit. Noel got a new outfit, so many Tsubaki will in story (just not in sprites). The image is probably from her- or someones, arcade ending... :U
Vordoxen Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 So... We have Noel/Mu We have Nu/Lambda And now.... We have Tsubaki/Nr 14. :P
Chipp12 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Sorry for offtop but can you say me where I can read the summaries of Blazblue Novels (Phase 0 and Phase Shift 1-4). Also is 4th Phase Shift the last one?
Vulcan422 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Phase Shift 4 is the last one, yes. The Short Stories thread should have some info/summaries of what happens.
SolarMisae Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Yo so did anyone notice this? http://i.imgur.com/wEe83.png So the hair pieces clearly scream "Tsubaki" but the outfit (what we can see of it) is a top which shows off her shoulders and has a red gem on the chest piece. Not her black NOL uniform. How much you wanna bet Tsu is gonna reveal her final form and be the Story Mode boss? After all she did become imperator's bitch at the end of the last game there.

Chipp12 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Well, I'm asking this because I don't want to search throughout this whole thread ^^' Edited October 18, 2012 by Chipp12
WolfCrimson Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Or maybe she was ordered by Haz to be his date, and got her a pretty dress? On a more serious note: come on, from her hair and eyes, you can tell this is Tsubaki. So what if it appears she has different clothes? What if it was her astral clothes?
Agni Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 We've been talking about that for a day. There were even a few pseudo-arguments on it.

Dude I'm saying it IS Tsubaki, and that she's possibly the secret unrevealed boss. Was it ever said that Tsubaki got a new astral anyways? Because unless she did thats not her astral outfit. =/ I'm saying she's possibly the final boss in arcade/story mode because of that particular shot of her, the way it was presented as a quick flash and sorta "ominous" or whatever..,and the fact that she's working directly for the Imperator now so it would make sense.
Narroo Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 So, if you freeze frame at 1:23, during the rapidly flashing images, you see an image of a hand reaching out to a group of people. There's a guy in the middle who looks kinda like young Bang from the back, and there's a dude with glasses beckoning to the point-of-view character. If Amane is really Lord Tenjo's son, then I'd reckon that that's him reaching out to his former comrades and the dude with glasses is Lord Tenjo. Could've sworn one of them looked like a human Tager. I'm disappointed that people were counting music tracks to figure out if Nu and Mu were in, but haven't noticed this.
Tokkan Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Could've sworn one of them looked like a human Tager. I'm disappointed that people were counting music tracks to figure out if Nu and Mu were in, but haven't noticed this. This is a valid point, but it should probably go in the story thread in Zepp.
Calamitus Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Could've sworn one of them looked like a human Tager. I'm disappointed that people were counting music tracks to figure out if Nu and Mu were in, but haven't noticed this. Some of this people watched this trailer just 5 minutes ago :\ Good guess about Tager though. Its obliviously Bullet's mercenaries picture. Guess we'll have Bul vs Tag theme.
Takoto Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I really hope that Tsubaki's possible outfit change isn't permanent. And if it is I sure hope it ain't revealing or stays in story-mode only. Otherwise then every playable character bar Rachel is going to be in revealing clothing. And that's... kinda... bleh.
zero34 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Well, they didn't specify the, uhh, "depth" of it. She might be inside, but still not be able to control it. Cue the obligatory Phoenix jokes. Sorry but "I can't, control it". Also for Mu's joke ending they could have Ranga finding Mu and saying "Noel how could you, i gave my up my arm for you".
Narroo Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 If they have an artbook included, I'll definitely preorder the game whenever it becomes available. The included soundtrack rarely includes all the tracks in the game and it's too easy to "acquire" imo. I guess you could say that the artbook can be scanned, but I've personally never regretted getting an artbook when I've been disappointed many times by the soundtracks you get with the game. Also, where is this pic of human Tager people are talking about? I thought it was Bullet's pals? Or am I just confused about something? Look closely at one of the people. One of them looks a bit like a non-giantic tager, doesn't he? Considering Tager's story has to go *somewhere,* and Bullet's backstory, I'm betting Tager is one of Bullet's old friends.
Chaoschao222 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I really hope that Tsubaki's possible outfit change isn't permanent. And if it is I sure hope it ain't revealing or stays in story-mode only. Otherwise then every playable character bar Rachel is going to be in revealing clothing. And that's... kinda... bleh. Disregarding males as I'm sure you just mean females, Tao doesn't wear anything particularly revealing. Nu doesn't either in regards to how clothed she is (though the fact that she wears a bodysuit is another matter). Personally I don't care if Tsubaki's prude or lewd, I just want something more aesthetically pleasing than Hammer pants and uguu hat.
.:TM:. Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Taokaka's clothes = panty shots 90% of the time she's onscreen :U
Chaoschao222 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 They've always been shorts to me, due to the overalls-ish stuff on 'em.
SolarMisae Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 In the loketests, it was reported Tsubaki's astral is the same except for visual changes, the changes being the statue in the astral is black instead of white and her wings being black instead of white too. I thought so. That said I'm pretty darn sure that girl is Tsubaki, and I really do have a hunch that she'll be the final boss...NoelMu vs. Final Form Tsu.
