On the contrary, that just further proves that the Story Mode is 8 hours long. If you've seen the game's achievements you would note it seems like the characters are unlocked via the storymode. Now i'm not 100% sure of this, but if true, we're in for a long story. And "Some" of the scenes are lacking, doesn't mean all are. I could name some lacking scenes in blazblue or any major franchise myself. We'll see. EDIT: It's worth noting Famitsu rated Blazblue as a 7/7/8/8. That's only 3 points away from Phantom Breaker's review which honestly isn't that much. By the way, this game's xbox page poofed

NEW Info about the game! http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/info.html In addition, there will be Screenshots released tommorow, and a Trailer by the end of the week! Looks like it's time to get the Hype Train rolling on Death Cargo!

Yup, as long as you have a japanese xbox live account.

Site updated today, Infinity has his own character profile now: Also, they're planning 2 launch events, with lotteries so you can get exclusive items one June 2nd and 5th; whatever these "exclusive items" are, they'll probably show up on ebay sooner or later if you really want one. Secondly, they also updated the Limited Edition contents. No idea what the update was, I can't tell the difference. And if you missed it, gameplay videos are posted earlier. So then, time to start thinking DLC? Well, I can confirm the demo is no longer available on Xbox Live marketplace. I don't know why they pulled it, maybe it's because the game changed a lot since the demo, so the demo isn't a good representation of the game anymore? Or they just want you to pay to play it? I dunno. Regardless, new screenshots:

I go to a couple of Japanese gaming news sites. I discovered a bit pertaining to this game http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25E3%2583%2595%25E3%2582%25A1%25E3%2583%25B3%25E3%2583%2588%25E3%2583%25A0%25E3%2583%2596%25E3%2583%25AC%25E3%2582%25A4%25E3%2582%25AB%25E3%2583%25BC%2B5%25E6%259C%258818%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1252%26bih%3D533%26prmd%3Divns&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&twu=1&u=http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/367/367003/&usg=ALkJrhgvE25Y7DQhIVal0wV49Aem4PsabA Apparantly, there are some Gamer Pictures up on japanese xbox live marketplace for this game, and more will be released every week til the game is released.

I'm calm now. And i'm hyped. edit #2: Working on getting this on YouTube.

Some new images from a recent Phantom Breaker Event you guys might be interested in, with -some- hard to see screen shots: Not sure if that red chick is an alternate costume for the agent or what. This wasn't the only event either, they held similar events at a lot of stores across Japan and they're holding the FINAL event on 5/21 (Friday for you people in America), and i'm willing to bet we'll see a final gameplay trailer or something in the coming week. It >looks< like game shops are preparing HARD for this game, perhaps lots of preorders, so it turns out this game might be successful. (I hope!)

Found a beta video of one of the fatalities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDtfFdRhsYc&feature=related

Phantom Breaker Achievements Unveiled! Sorry if i'm late to the show! http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xbox360achievements.org%2Fgame%2Fphantom-breaker%2Fachievements%2FtitleDESC%2F We're almost there. Just 2 more weeks! Phantom Breaker drops on June 2nd in Japan's timezone, (Wednesday if you're in America). My game ships on the 3rd, so I can offer to you my personal opinion on the game sometime that weekend, probably the Monday. Things I will immediately check and post in this thread about: *If the game is region protected (I have jap and reg 360s I can test with) *If the game has improved since the demo *Personal thoughts *Online netcoding, how effective it is, etc. *DLC/Unlockables. I heard if you played the demo you unlocked something in the retail game so i'll be checking that too. ALSO: Sequel confirmed? TO BE CONTINUED ...? 30 Story Mode: saw the ending of the fin ^ one of the achievements. Looks like Fin's story mode will hint at a possible sequel

One of the 3 males will be my main, i'm not a big fan of female mains. (Ren, Infinity, and Tokima I think his name is) Speaking of Ren. Ren's story is that he's participating in the tournament to get a miracle cure for his sister, who is ill. Yet...something about the males in this game elude me: THEY ARE BEATING UP GIRLS. 11 girls compared to 3 guys. Do those guys really enjoy kicking girls' hides that much? P.S. I know I didn't have ANY new info about the game in the post. sorry! Have this battle music ripped from the demo in return: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W80Yp6rq52Y

Air combos exist. However, from the 4 characters in the demo, you kind of need to be a pro to pull them off. But I have seen people pull off air combos in the demo. Here is a few: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SctEemwU0xc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGWyRt13_JY&feature=related That is also a good peek at how the pros will be playing the game, but from what I hear, they improved the game a lot since the demo, you die quicker and moves are more lethal than in the demo. Additionally, it's a safe bet that there will be at least 1 character that specializes in aerial combos. To the guy asking for Rimi gameplay vids: I could probably find one of I searched Nico Nico Douga, but i'm too lazy to make an account there. Just wait. This is the calm before the storm. When the game launches on June 2nd, 2 weeks from now, Phantom Breaker vids will be all over YouTube.

Website updated today, nothing special, just noting some Microsoft Kinect event on the 15th for the game. For some reason they're showing off Phantom Breaker there. Wait. Phantom Breaker is Kinect-enabled? Nah, probably not. Anywho. Do you WANT to hear the Full Opening Song for Phantom Breaker, The Last Judgement? You can do so here, with this new music video I uploaded. Please listen and enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwCTzpaTsGw&hd=1

I was doing some research, and discovered there may be a 14th playable character in this game (Possibly the boss character) Particularly, I looked at this game's japanese wikipedia page since the japanese know everything, and discovered it lists 14 characters whereas we only know about 13. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%A0%E3%83%96%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC So, I decided to try to find out which of the characters listed there is not one we already know about, and I believe it to be this character: Infiniti Voice: Dawn瀬水 Age: Unknown. Occupation: boss. Date of Birth: Unknown. Blood Type: unknown. Height: 181cm. Weight: 75kg. Measurements: unknown. Armor-FA-: Satoshi Tsutomu. Technology Type: Unknown: Unknown. Sounds like a boss character to me. So, 14 characters total then? If this game is really successful, who knows, we might even see some more DLC. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD LEAKS EVERYWHERE OMG!! http://blog.livedoor.jp/furious2011/archives/2460808.html EDIT: VIDEO OF THE FINAL BUILD, GAMEPLAY WITH KURISU, 14 CHARACTERS CONFIRMED http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfyXNQgkjY0

NEW UPDATE!!! I think!? http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/info/2011042802.html ^WTF is this. Is that story mode...or something? Looks like a fricken RPG....I don't even know...looks awesome whatever it is. http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/info/2011042801.html ^ And whatever that is. >Possible story mode screenshots? EDIT: FALSE ALARM. Looks like this post was just about them adding Phantom Breaker characters to a collaboration game between the creators of Classic Dungeon 2 and Phantom Breaker. Laaaame. Source ALSO: Phantom Breaker - OP/ED Song Previews ED - Fateful Actor - 1 minute preview of this song is on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVKyDuUIauM OP - The Last Judgement by ATRERY Vein - Very small preview of this song is on Famitsu: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201103/09041309.html ALSO: Pre-order bonuses for various stores also contain these Ecchi pictures of Phantom Breaker characters. While we likely won't be getting any of these since most gamestores in japan don't ship internationally, they were kind enough to show us samples from the game's website: http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img05.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img04.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img03.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img02.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img01.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img06.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img07.jpg http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/common/images/spec/img08.jpg ALSO: Limited Edition Contents -Phantom Breaker Soundtrack -Appears to be some sort of jacket, but i'm not sure. It says maybe the jacket was replaced with some illustrations. And that's the result of my latest Phantom Breaker Research. Japan's getting hyped for this it seems, with collaborations and all sorts of new information about the game coming out. Japan's ready. But I wonder--are YOU Ready?

There is Rimi and Chris coverage, you just aren't looking hard enough. For example: http://www.andriasang.com/blog/2011/04/20/phantom_breaker_date/images/2132439166_full.jpg

Kurisu and Rimi are playable, whooo

I am not amused.......... Hopefully it's a short delay and comes out before July

http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/special/2011020102.html This has nothing to do with the actual game, but this appears to be a cosplay contest for the game in Tokyo on April 2nd. Wish I could go, they will probably have an updated version of the game and all sorts of swag at the event T_T We'll probably get some info on the game's story mode then (I hope!)

New character revealed. Character Roster is up to 13. (http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/character/index.html) Meet Tin!

I have the limited edition and an imported 360 preordered from play-asia. I'm not 100% sure what the limited edition has yet. It goes without saying for any limited edition for an anime-esque game to expect an artbook and a different case. The limited edition case has no guys on the cover (the regular one has both guys visible). Other than that, other limited bonuses are anybody's guess. If you would like, I can videotape me unboxing the limited edition if/when I get it. P.S. If anyone has any problems installing the demo, either send me a PM or add me on MSN @ dark-sonic999@hotmail.com and i'll be more than happy in giving you personal assistance in installing this demo.

DEMO DOWNLOAD: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z5T8WVE5 OKAY I'VE UPLOADED THE DEMO. WARNING: YOU WILL NEED TO DO WORK. Things you will need: *A computer *An xbox 360 *A flash drive with at least 1GB free space *Some brains EASY MODE: You can skip all of this if you have a Japanese Xbox Live Account. This demo can be downloaded off Xbox Live even with a japanese silver account starting Tuesday or Wednesday. This tutorial is for lazy people that can't make japanese xbox live accounts.) Step 1.) Make your flashdrive xbox-accessible. To do this, insert the flashdrive in the Xbox 360, go to 'Memory', try to open your flashdrive. It'll ask you to make the flashdrive xbox-accessible. You'll want to give the xbox at least 700MB of your flashdrive space, as the demo is 522mb. Step 2.) You're done with the xbox for now. Put your flashdrive in your CPU. Step 3.) Get and run Xtaf Explorer. I am not going to tell you how. Step 4.) Open your flashdrive using Xtaf Explorer (File--->Device Selector) Step 5.) Create the following folder structure USING XTAF EXPLORER if it doesn't already exist. Data Partition > Content > 0000000000000000 > 465687E6 > 00080000 Step 6.) Select 0008000 using xtaf explorer. Unzip the downloaded demo, and drag the file from the unzipped folder (do not drag the folder, only the file) into xtaf explorer Step 7.) It should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/kgMbA.png Step 8.) You are done. Unplug the flashdrive and insert it in the xbox. You should find Phantom Breaker Demo available in the game library Final+Legal Note.) Please do -NOT- access Xbox Live while using this demo. The demo has no xbox live features. However, this demo is resigned to my profile/system, so if multiple people are using xbox live while playing the demo, xbox live might go "lolwut?". Perhaps i'm being paranoid, but, really, you don't need live access when playing this demo. As I said, this -is- a free demo and absolutely nothing should happen, and this is completely legal, but i'm just taking precautions. It goes without saying you have been warned. Bonus Note.) The demo should work on any system and any profile, but, if, for some reason, it does not work for you, then you may need to resign it using a certain program that is probably illegal, so, you're screwed. P.S: This is not illegal. This is a freely-available demo.

By request, here is video #3, with Mikoto and the 3rd stage available in the demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73XGpuzDMyE I can't combo with Mikoto for crap

New video by me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FroLUPzjQbw&hd=1 NOTES: *I used a custom song for that battle to see the support for custom soundtracks. *The character I am playing has amazing combo potential, as seen at 1:25 *I'll try to upload the demo later

If anyone here has a 360 and a flashdrive, it appears that this demo might not have system verification attached to it, I was able to install the demo on a flashdrive and play it on another 360. So if you guys wanted, I could upload this demo and anyone with a 360 and a flashdrive could play it. However, keep in mind that the full game will require a foreign 360, even if the demo works on any 360.

99th post in this topic: THIS. DEMO. IS FRICKEN AMAZING Here's a video of the epic win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym-dKp2XJgE&hd=1 Recorded the gameplay myself in 1080p
