I assume he means Wonderful World.

Gonna love punching the crap out of well-trained warriors with schoolgirls. Too bad that the only person that I know and may care about this game only cares about Utawarerumono.

...But Sin is still Sin. And I can't see how Flower, Plant or Halo can be offensive.

I can't see how renaming the Arcana is connected with political correctness. It's more like they tried to "fix" some weird word choices when they got a chance. For example, "Blossom" makes more sense than "Flower" because it deals with not only flowers, but with growth, fruits and more. Halo was already called Light in kanji, and Retribution makes more sense when paired with Sin (unless youn rename Sin to Crime, but that makes no sense in this context). The only one that I have my doubts about is Plant-Nature, but it's not something I can rage about.

Gene is not enough for me, I want my Elvis. Capcom side needs more villains, after all. And Gene needs to finally work in a team with BEST BOSS EVER. Any Basara representatives would be nice, too. Masamune seems like the most obvious choice, but Mitsunari or Ieyasu are fine, too. Especially if they manage to represent their fighting styles. The Marvel side is a bit harder to decide for me, even though I was a fan of their comics before. Gambit and Nightcrawler are my old-time favorites, but Ghost Rider, Emma Frost and Anti-Venom might be more interesting as fighting game characters.

Aww, look, Eko can write! Yeah, I guess it does confirm AH3 for US. Good for you, guys.

I wish I had skills to determine that from screenshots alone, without even knowing the gameplay mechanics

Well, the 3D looks nice, at least on screenshots. Who knows how will it look like in motion. And I assume that the assist system is going to be similar to Vanguard Princess.

Well, they were working for the evil guys in their original games for some time, so it's no wonder they've decided to reference it here. Not to mention that we already know they were working for Chaos from the first Dissidia. They're "Guest characters", like Shantotto and Gabranth were before. They don't play any important part in the story, yet get enough spotlight to talk with WoL or Bartz.

Yeah, but why would they need American market for that? I mean, Nesica doesn't even support non-Japanese arcades, which basically means that they don't care about, say, BB outside of Japan. They're pretty xenophobic about that in visual novel industry, so it's logical to assume that it's also true here.

Why? Don't they get most of the income from the local arcades, anyway?

Like I said, it doesn't have the arcana sprites (like, for Arcana Blazes and stuff) and story mode CGs.

Reposting the question: This may be a wrong place to ask, but do sprite rips for arcanas and story mode CGs exist? I'm aware of justnopoint.com, but it still lacks some stuff.

Well, the only post that specify the characters' genders doesn't specify it for Carmine. So yeah.

@SolxBaiken: you might want to check out the character concept arts in the trailer (if you haven't done that already). They have more hype than Waldstein could ever grasp. I know I'm probably the only one who cares about it, but are there any translations of all the text in the trailer? A script would be fine, too - at least I'll be able to translate it by myself.

I can't shake off the feeling that Linne will go SURPRISE PARTY on her enemies. And Waldstein looks more like Tao than like Tager (). You can also see some concept art in the trailer, including an eye-patch Testament, Hakumen lookalike and nice female chars. And still nothing is known about that mysterious bar at the bottom.

I like how Carmine's gender is not specified anywhere. The amounts of Engrish make me feel like it's TM-related. I hope it will be worth the hype as a successor of MB. At least it already has a Tager with a beard and German name in Chinese clothes.

Had a nice idea for a Cathy avvy. Here, you can have it. Maybe we should make a separate thread for these requests or something. Or hijack the BB avatar one. Wait, it seems that they've deleted it. Hmmkay.

Well, it has pretty art and designs, so, uh, yeah... But I agree that it's nothing to be surprised or sad about. My PC hates Youtube for some reason, so does anyone have a mirror for that video?

Happy troll family needs more Beato. Just sayan'.

Oh, cool, Wesker beats people in one X-Factor combo. And doesn't Chris say "Big lad"?

I didn't, but I am quite hyped for Prish, as brawler characters play great in Dissidia. She's also voiced by Hirano Aya. While I don't think I can be considered her fan, I am pleased by the fact that FFXI is represented by her and Megumi Hayashibara.

Well, my favorite Arcanas as of now are Thunder, Flower and Water. Flower helps with my eternal problem of mashing buttons whenever I'm getting combo'd while also giving tons of meter even without setting any flowers. Water is for when I want to turtle and then rush to my opponent with a cover of bubbles. And Thunder simply catches my opponents off guard often enough to land a 360 or two. Basically, Flower is my defensive Arcana, Thunder is the offensive one, while Water can go either way. Overall, I love that each and every arcana has its uses, and you can always spice things up for both you and your opponent. Except Sacred. I still have no idea why would anyone pick it.

That actually sounds good, and the bubbles may help me in approaching her.
