Volt Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 so likely we'll need some help from people who have the novel. :/ I myself am confused why terumi was in orient town. unless that was orient town back during the first ars magus war/dark war. There are people translating the novel. Unfortunately, I can't help much, but what is translated (A little more than 60%) could help us to understand what happened in Phase 0 I won't post the link since I don't know if I can but someone posted it when the Epilogue of Phase Shift 4 was translated.

I see. I'll try and search for this post myself when I have freetime
harmless kitten Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 There was no Orient Town during the Dark War. All of the Hierarchical Cities came AFTER the Dark War. http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=BlazBlue I'm still gonna miss his old duds. That fedora was just too perfect. I doubt that we're going to lose Hazama entirely, no more than we're losing Noel because Mu exists or Tsubaki because Izayoi exists.
Rishtopher Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 BBCP Terumi is just Hazama with spiked hair and a different coat, and maybe some new powers or something. His inner clothes remain the same, so he just reveals his identity for good and starts strolling around freely in that guise. Nothing to do with flashbacks. (Story) Hype levels down. I was hoping it was Dark War Terumi before Mind Eater got him. I guess that explains my confusion of him wearing the same suit a hundred years in the past :V
spesialo Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Yep. Those screenshots are the same exact stuff from Phase 0. Even the dialogues are the same. And Arc seems a bit too lazy since they're just reusing Jubei's sprite during the scene where he meets Ragna and Celica on the mountain, instead of making some for Mitsuyoshi as opposed to Bloodedge.

Mori be lazy XD but at least it clears up terumi in orient town thanks to what someone else said. :P
raziel12 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) have you guys read Mori interview damn he said it took 3 years for him to complete the BBCP storyline damn but the games came out damn near every year might be becasuse all the remakes lol but he said ( I plan on revealing most of the major mysteries behind everything that has led up to this point in the story.) and having high hopes that XBlaze be localize to the west interview (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/04/blazblue-chronophantasma-brings-us-80-through-the-blazblue-story-and-other-tidbits/) Edited July 7, 2013 by raziel12
HoudiniJr100 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 So he asked to make Nanako playable? I am proud. Not only, but tried getting dojima as a joke character in p4A, ....still say adachi would be a better persona than nanako >.> or at least a hierophant persona.
Tokkan Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) http://www.famitsu.com/news/201308/22038666.html By now you've read that Ragna is searching for Kushinada's Lynchpin because he heard Jubei saying it could be used to defeat the Imperator. (Jubei, WTF ARE YOU SAYING AROUND RAGNA?) He's probably not going to use it for a number of reasons: 1. It stops all flow of seithr, meaning the world which currently revolves around seithr usage would crumble and fall. 2. It is not known if point number 1 is a permanent effect. In Phase 0, Nine was thinking it would only be a temporary solution to the Black Beast problem and the Beast would eventually return. This presents a problem as using the Lynchpin would not only expose the world to one catastrophe but also a second catastrophe: the possible return of poisonous seithr after the world has gotten used to it no longer being there. 3. There's only a very short list of people who could in fact use the Lynchpin as far as we know. Ragna is not among them. 4. Using it would mean Ragna would lose his Azure Grimoire or possibly his own life. In other news, Ragna clearly holds "Sister" in utmost regard. He returned to her grave to report that he had met with Jin and Saya again. Edited August 21, 2013 by Tokkan

The biggest problem is: Only Celica can use it, and when she uses it, the Lynchpin will use her body as a "battery", killing her, slowly.

Actually, in Bang's ending it was implied by Relius that Tenjou could have used it but quite deliberately chose not to. Potentially, Tenjou's kid could also use it. Edited August 22, 2013 by Tokkan
Juno_LK Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/038/666/l_52147ba15b7c1.jpg All things that got me hyped up is the Jubei and Kononoe for six heroes/ sector seven story mode. Is it gonna tell the story through Jubei and what we actually can play as a character here? Terumi? By the way, as I saw in the format, we have to finish one before we can actually unlock the next chapter/story. Maybe this will help the flow better, smart moves this time. http://www.famitsu.com/news/201308/22038666.html In other news, Ragna clearly holds "Sister" in utmost regard. He returned to her grave to report that he had met with Jin and Saya again. She raised them afterall, I can't see any reason why he wouldn't do that. CT and CS happened pretty fast so as things settle down a bit, he finally got time to visit her. On the positive side, Ragna indeed has a goal in here: to search for Lynchpin. Btw, can someone translate this: http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/038/666/52147ba0cb800.html
Lucid_Nightmare Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 If I recall correctly, it was said that Bang would become very important in this game's storyline as opposed to his old joke character-status... Well, that definitely seems to be the case, as everyone wants a piece of him now-Everything now revolves around Bang. lol Can't wait to see what epic stuff they have planned for him.

Wrong, they don't want Bang, they want the Lynchpin, Bang himself is worthless XD.

harmless kitten Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I think Jubei just kind of winged it with Ragna. All things that got me hyped up is the Jubei and Kononoe for six heroes/ sector seven story mode. Is it gonna tell the story through Jubei and what we actually can play as a character here? Terumi? I'm guessing that each episode has a POV character and it shows that character's icon on the story mode screen. I doubt it'll stick to one character. Might be like Calamity Trigger Reconstruction where you have Ragna, Jin, Rachel, and Noel as POV characters, and how Kokonoe was the POV character for S7 sidestory. ...Are they really gonna use Jubei's current sprite for Mitsuyoshi and Dark War Jubei? Ahaha. Edited August 22, 2013 by harmless kitten
Chaoschao222 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm sure they won't, they're more than willing to make minor alterations to the portraits for different 'modes' for the characters.

That's basically the story anyways. Hours of talking > 17 seconds of fighting > hours of talking. And then you get things like the S7 and Academy stories; all talking.
harmless kitten Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm sure they won't, they're more than willing to make minor alterations to the portraits for different 'modes' for the characters. It looks like Jubei's exact portrait from the tiiiny bit that is shown, and IIRC they already released one picture of the Phase 0 section with current Jubei as opposed to Mitsuyoshi. Admittedly, that could've been Ragna superimposing Jubei's image upon Mitsuyoshi but I'll laugh if they keep it the same. Dark War Jubei also looked leaner, although that might be attributed to Katou's art style. @Juno_LK: Sector 7 sidestory and Academy flashbacks had no fights in them. They could just be for show/talk, yeah. Doesn't mean a whole lot that they show up as icons.
Chaoschao222 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 and IIRC they already released one picture of the Phase 0 section with current Jubei as opposed to Mitsuyoshi. Indeed it is, but in that same set of images, Ragna has his Bloodedge portrait... it just seems odd that they'd fuck with Ragna's upper torso, but not remove an eyepatch from a kitty and give it a headband...
harmless kitten Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 The difference is that Ragna is an important character and Jubei is just a cat that no one likes. No one take that seriously.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Well they have been using redits of Terumi & Ragna for their story portraits, wouldn't put it past them to do the same with Jubei. So Ragna was visiting the "Sister's" grave, ya know with all of the shit he tends to be doing, he never really has any downtime does he.
Tokkan Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 From the Famitsu scan Kurushii posted, it looks like Jubei carelessly let slip out of his mouth that "the Lynchpin" could be used to "defeat" "that" and Ragna hearing that assumed "that" was referring to the Imperator... Oops...
