Chrono Phantasma Story Discussion [fun tentatively allowed again]

[Zedar90]

Well it's a fact that before the Dark War, people used magic and such (not everyone though like how everyone is using Ars Magus in the current world) and Ars Magus didn't exist, so you could say they just went back to how the world once was in the past except even magic doesn't exist much anymore.

About that, Izayoi is an Ars armagus and it existed before the Dark War. And even if we don't count that one, the Izayoi in xblaze is an Ars Magus Weapon (術式兵器). So, Ars Magus existed before the Dark War. And Seithr did exist in the air before the dark war.

Oh right forgot about XBlaze. LOL

[PerishEvil]

Thanks for taking the time to clear that up.

[Toxin45]

also can anyone translate the platinum gag reel?

[Shinhwa]

Now that I think about it, was there any connection between XBlaze and Terumi?

[Alpha to Omega]

Was it ever explained what Overdrive and Gain Art are? Not the game mechanics, but in the story. Ragna mentions them in Azrael's arcade ending.

Overdrive is also mentioned in the story mode by Kokonoe.

Nothing(at the moment?). Susanoo was supposed to appear in Xblaze since the trailer had that word in it but it never happened.

Gain Art: Blazblue: nothing other then the kanji for it 増幅陣. Xblaze: An effect when the Union's crystal starts to uncontrollably start to drain seithr in the air leading to the body to break down and kill the Union. Can't happen naturally.

Overdrive(術式強化, Ars Magus Strengthening): It's a Ars Magus used to reduce the burden on ones body when using big abilities.

I still don't get what happens after Six Heroes Route... They face against Phantom and that's it... and what does it even lead to...?

Time rewind? Same thing in Sector Seven story, Bullet meets Azrael for the first time both in Chronphantasma story and Sector Seven story.

What was the point of those routes then.... TwT;;

[BlackYakuzu94]

lol time resets?

Doesn't the same thing occur with Kagura and Azrael?

[Zedar90]

Just because time was rewinded doesn't mean that they didn't happen... One mustn't think of time in Blazblue so linear. The Terumi and Hazam switch happened after all and that was only some short moments before.

Yeah, I think so.

[Shinhwa]

Not sure where I should say this, but happy birthday to Platinum!

[Chaoschao222]

Happy birthday wishes tend to go in the official art thread, as the official happy birthday images end up there.

That said, the birthday wishes usually don't come until after the official images show up.

There is no need to respond to this, just keep it in mind.

[Shinhwa]

Alrighty, it's just that I saw tons of Platinum fanarts with happy birthday today, so I was like Oh it's her b-day!

[Luminos564]

Pretty much this yeah. Blazblue's timeline is pretty damn outta whack. And unfortunately for Ragna, his Azure Grimoire remembers every wound he received, even if time is reset. Actually, has there been an explanation as to why it does this? I don't see Hazama/Terumi suffering the same thing despite having his entire ghost body made up of the stuff.

Shouldn't he just be one giant wound at this point then.

Say I got a question.Did Kokonoe did find out about her mother being alive?

[Shinhwa]

Jubei apparently told her yeah. And she had her own suspicions. Celica also confirmed it herself and told Jubei and the others.

[Toxin45]

Oh good and also did you know that Ragna and the others got some character development on the goodguys.

[Shinhwa]

It was an obvious thing from this entire game lol.

Only development we didn't get was Jin making up with Ragna kind of.

[Toxin45]

Yeah but here's the list because most of them have loss their "shades or Grey"

1.Ragna has become more heroic and is more willing to protect he knows.Plus his attitude and Temper is also gotten better.

2.Jin is less of a jerk towards others even around Noel he has simmered down a bit

3.Noel is more confident last time and that resulted into controlling her murakumo powers.

4.Hakumen has cooled down as he speaks less harshly towards others and he's not so hostile towards Ragna as he was before.

5.Bang gets more into a serious character despite having still some boisterous traits.

6.Litchi is freed from her manipulator and is more of a tragic heroine

7.Carl has become a good boy now and now is controlling his dad.

Also Makoto and Tsubaki to some extent for the former being more heroic and less backstabbing and the latter being freed a knight templar to fighting those she cares about and fines her own sense of justice.Also Arakune and Tao from Cs to a lesser extent.

This was all very obvious to anyone who's played/seen the story mode.

Arakune and Tao don't do anything of any real relavence. Hell, Tao gets dropped from the story midway. I don't get what you're trying to say when you say "they got better." Tao was never a problem to begin with. Arakune didn't change jack shit, he's still just batshit crazy.
