Blade Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Hmm, not sure but, since Kaihou Norimitsu's Novels and Drama CDs are in the GGXrd Library, then there's no reason for the Manga not to be since they were written by him with Daisuke's approval. Just might be an oversight. So far there isn't much "major" that was retconned from The Midnight Carnival... GG2 confirmed that "That Man" did meet with Sol in GGXX... thus anything in GG2 is canon. Raven's story with Axl was "pushed back" because of Anji in Accent Core Plus when he kept Axl from meeting with "That Man"... still, he eventually met with him in GGXrd, just for different reasons instead of trying to get back home (which by the way seems to be a problem I-No could possibly easily solve later on, once Axl's no longer needed). So far, what happened with Eddie dying and Millia tracking him down only for the Conclave to capture him just before he disappeared and Venom inheriting the Assassins Organization all came to pass in XX and stayed that way in later games and stories. Even Zappa seems to be doing well. Only missing thread so far is what Bridget's situation is like, since he went looking for his missing Twin Brother.

Could you please at least source Blade? Even if you didn't take it from what was said a page before...Also I come bearing screenshots of interest, enjoy!https://twitter.com/Mihail_Sergeevi/media
The Badgerine Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Looking at that Tuner screenshot, I could see people looking at the machine from afar and mistaking those two big spikes in his beard for boobs.
Solhunter Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I honestly can't see how anyone could mistake a hulk like that for a woman. O_oAnd looking at Faust's screen shots, I wonder if Chronus having a sprite indicates that he may be playable? Edited August 3, 2015 by Solhunter
Blade Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) We don't know for sure if that's Tuner yet (there should be Kanji that comes with his speech bubbles to confirm it or not, I do not see anything to prove it yet). Also my source wishes to remain anon.For all we know that could be Johnny's Master.For now unless more screens surface, that's all we got.Edit: So as not to rule out possibility, my 'source' says they got the info off Japanese posts and tweets, so what @The Badgerine says is probably highly possible if it was a mistake.

The Badgerine Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Considering the bell on his pants, the boob-beard and the fact that he's in that screenshot with Leo and Johnny (Tuner was previously stated in a tweet to A:be a friend of Johnny's, B:appear in Leo's Episodes scenario), I'd be willing to put a bet on my guess.
Blade Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I'd like to see more screenshots to make any conclusions, however.Suffice to say that the other info (aside from Tuner) seems to be legit.
Solhunter Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 There's also the possibility that "Tuner" might be an alias for Unchou, just to put it out there.
Suzaku Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Raven's dialogue: "Justice remains in the hands of the enemy. As it stands, it is only a matter of time until she is revived."
Sourenga Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 That Man's and Raven's dialogue from Revelator opening movie that was shown today.RAVEN: Can't you escape yet?THATMAN: It's difficult. That boy, "Bedman" is the same type as I am.RAVEN: Then, I'll buy you some time.THATMAN: No, we'll use Jack-O'RAVEN: Jack-O'? Isn't it too early for that?THATMAN: "The Universal Will" is making its moves fast.THATMAN: Everything is over if Elphelt fuses with Justice.RAVEN: Understood. I'll give I-No the order.RAVEN: With this, our future is settled.RAVEN: What about the Flame of Corruption?THATMAN: Seek help from him. Tell that I'll explain everything later...
Blade Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 So guys, I'm liking this new "plot twist" that makes Valentines a little different from Murakumo Units.They're like the "battery" that wakes up Justice or something.
Tokkan Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I only just noticed this now but in Revelator it seems that Ramlethal has added a 4-leaf clover to her hat, matching the 4-leaf clover that Elphelt has.
kylehyde Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I wonder if Elphelt's new appearance means her personality has changed, wether it be by mind control or something else. Hope not since I liked her bubbly sunshine and rainbows personality.
Blade Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 From what I remember, someone said Elphelt's voice sounds more robotic now. so probably her body was modified to be better suited to fusing with Justice, not to mention restrictions put in place on her so she couldn't express her emotions or free will.Yep, that Universal Will thingie is a real mean baddie.
Tokkan Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 From what I remember, someone said Elphelt's voice sounds more robotic now.That turned out to be false.
kylehyde Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I'd be disappointed if that info were true, but if it's false good.
LockedAndClush Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That turned out to be false.While I'm indifferent to whether they changed it or not, I thought it made sense, at least. Why change so much about the character's looks without modifying her voice, winquotes etc. to reflect that change?
Daidouji Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Why change so much about the character's looks without modifying her voice, winquotes etc. to reflect that change? I'm pretty sure the reason for that is because her new design doesn't reflect her personality but the situation she's in, right now she's being held prisoner (hence the chained collar) so they can fuse her with Justice and like @Blade said in the gameplay discussion thread, it's also related to them trying to seal away her emotions.I'm honestly glad they managed to re-design her in a way that makes sense without changing her personality since I really like how upbeat she is. Either way I'm really happy with the re-design, as someone that really loved her original outfit I was worried I wouldn't like the change but she looks even better IMO.

Blade Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That turned out to be false.Gah this drives me nuts! TWO RED HERRINGS in so many weeks!Loketesters need to stop spreading False Rumors (or at least stop assuming things and passing them on)!!
SoWL Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Or maybe people should not assume things when translating Japanese posts. Give me a Japanese post that calls the Tuner female. Since the language has many gender-neutral pronouns, I'm pretty sure it was a mistake on the translator's part.
Tokkan Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 http://www.ggxrd.com/rev/ac/character/jack.htmlHaha, Jack-O' hasn't been born yet.
