... Japan is in the Northern Hemisphere. Also, would people stop whining about the apparent lack of Xbox announcement? It's not constructive and is trollbait.

... Mid-winter event? Mid-May is in Winter now? Anyways, going by the previous games, they'd give CP's console version a more official announcment sometime around February and March.

I don't have a full rundown of it, all I know is that Tsubaki came to the realisation that she doesn't want to lose Jin, Noel and Makoto and that she faced the darker part of herself. Izayoi's ending is called "The Awakening" and takes place on 2/3, like most characters except Ragna (2/2), Rachel (2/4) and Bullet (1/31). I've seen an image from the ending, but I don't remember where I found it.

That's basically resolved in Izayoi's arcade mode ending.

They still fight. It's just not for the reason you're thinking.

It's not shown how, she just says to Hakumen that Jin severed the Imperator's curse on her. http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/025/818/50c8091381295.html

None, Jin has already saved her himself as of Izayoi's own arcade mode. Wrong, Bullet is an independent mercenary who hates Sector 7 because she was once a part of a mercenary group that was wiped on a mission that Sector 7 commissioned them to complete. Going by her ending, there is apparently another survivor of this mercenary group whom she calls a traitor. Going by what Tager says when he beats Bullet, it's strongly implied that Tager is this "traitor" survivor, though he has no memory of it so it's not really fair to call him a traitor.

...I thought Hakumen's persona colour was Susano-o, Yosuke's ultimate persona.

There's also Kagura in Aquarion Evol, whom is quite clearly a guy. Though he acts like a dog. But this is getting rather off-topic; we're supposed to be discussing gameplay in this thread, not some as yet unseen character mentioned in the story.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1355712239 - Episode 2 Episode 3 will be on January 31st.

It was said that the Black Beast wiped out half the world. Timeline from CSSMC says it emerged in Japan and went on its rampage in Eurasia before being killed off on January 1st 2110. No mention of the Americas. Assumeably, they were untouched. Of course, they were still kinda "destroyed" in the sense that seithr now covers the entire world, not just the part the Black Beast touched.

Yes, and then it proceeded to ravage Eurasia.

They don't. The countries were just slapped in to the profiles back when the plot wasn't as developed as it is now, and Mori and co are too lazy to change them now.

Then why didn't you list Halloween as well?

Actually, the Requiem in CP is different from the one in previous games. It's at a different angle and is covered in cobwebs.

Nope, Noel's final stage is Altar (Mu's stage from CS).

Don't know. At the very least, it's not available for selection in event mode at the arcades. However, that does not mean it won't be in the console versions.

Sealed Space is a boss stage, though I haven't seen it used anywhere for a final boss other than Hakumen's.

Izayoi only shows up under the control of the Imperator's control in Jin's, Tsubaki's and Makoto's arcade stories. As a playable character (going by her victory comments) and in both Rachel's arcade story and her own, she appears to have already been freed. No context is given as to how, though in Makoto's story for some reason Tsubaki regains control and stops herself from killing Makoto.

It's about Izayoi, recently freed from the influence of the Imperator, searching for some new meaning to fight for or something. Her bosses are Hakumen and Mu. Actually when Tager asks Kokonoe why she calls the Azure Grimoire the weakest, she says it's because it has some huge debilitating weakness but doesn't further elaborate on it.

Some along the lines of: Izayoi: Hakumen-sama, what must I do? Hakumen: ...Draw your sword, Tsubaki Yayoi.

You shouldn't really be going around claiming stuff were only added "just because" with your only reason for thinking that also being "just because". Baseless claims aren't constructive.

So what you're saying is, you think OD is a rushed untested mechanic "just because".

She swings it around like it's a sword, so it's a sword; it just has a big hilt. It's way too short to be a lance anyway.

It isn't stated, however... Neither is this. Also the "First Prime Field" as it was in Phase 0 was an attempt to create Kusanagi (Murakumo), as were all of THEM. The thing is, none of those things that Makoto saw can even be seen as Murakumo, most of them would've had a botched tempering and a few others may not have even been put through the tempering process and were just discarded like trash. Also of note, at the end of the Sector Seven EX story, Roy states they were only able to find the 11th and 12th prime field devices in Relius's old lab, all traces of the 13th had disappeared.
