Finally had the chance to clean up.

DO IT!!! I'll post mine up once I clean up my collection. :D

I'm surprised we Ragnerds haven't renamed this thread the "BlazBlue Collectors Thread" or even opened up a new one. Post a pic of your collection kosmos badgirl, I really want to see it.

So in other words...Ragna is so much of a badass that he killed a god.

Well, in any case...

Is Rachel/Raquel ever explained?

Depends on what interests you and how much you like (or "eternally crave") the series. I've been collecting BlazBlue stuff for six years and so far I've got nine light novels, four manga, WONDER-FANG/BLUE SANCTION, PLASMIC FIRE/VERSION KOTOKO, BLAZBLUE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, BLAZBLUE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK CONSUMER EDITION, D-ARTS NOEL VERMILLION, All the limited editions available (including the CS Japanese Limited Box), the two limited edition Nendroids, a Japanese copy of CS, the BlazBlue Starter Deck of the now out of print TCG Unlimited Versus, a CP pre-order wallscroll, a copy of XBLAZE Lost Memories signed by Ayumi Fujimura, and at last, but my favourite, a copy of Calamity Trigger signed by Cristina Vee...(as well as a video request of her saying one of Nu's lines towards Ragna and a picture with her and one of my friends.) And coming soon, a Japanese copy of CT and the Alter Memory FUNIMATION Box. Point is if you love BlazBlue, go for whatever you like. I recommend you find a third-party shipper that allows you to buy stuff off of Yahoo Auctions Japan. Everything there is a pretty good price compared to what you're paying on the import market these days.

Was just at a Cristina Vee panel yesterday. Apparently, she hasn't been called back for CF. Also, got her to say one of Nu's lines towards Ragna...it was awesome.

Found in today's mail!

Hi Tong, could I request Naoto in his Overdrive state please?

Just learned that Nine/Watashi's voice actor is gonna be there also...well time to bring BBCP/XBLM. :D

Out of curiousity, if you guys were to meet Cristina Vee, which of one of your BlazBlue games would you get her to sign? Gonna be meeting her during the summer AniRev and I want to make sure I get the right one signed.

Well, I'm dead from all the exciting news this past week. First BBCF on PS3/PS4, secondly the news about ES, and finally the fact that I was able to find BE 1&2 after searching for months on Yahoo Auctions. Anyways back on topic. It is possible that the Black Beast seen on the stage could be the one that was sealed by the Azure Shrine Maiden centuries prior to XBLAZE. It was never said that particular Black Beast was defeated, only sealed inside the Boundary at the cost of the maiden's life. Of course, Terumi wanting Noel to get back her power once again has the possibility of him opening the Gate and releasing the "Original" Black Beast, allowing it to devour all life on the planet and return all the souls into the Azure... But of course that's just a theory. Well, I'll be checking back from time to time. Mori and I are freaking out about the new Godzilla trailer and believe me, Mori loves his Godzilla.

It's Mori we're talking about. He somehow pulls the most random recalls and implements it into the story. (eg. Izayoi called a Murakumo Prototype in CS, the "sister" who was killed in CT revealed to be Nine's imouto) Like he said, things like this just come along the way as he writes the story.

Anyone notice that "the mark" has returned, but this time on Izanami's dress?

Most people already have it up on Youtube. Here's the subbed version by Ablecru if you want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x91qJYQ43w&feature=youtu.be

Naw. The Acts refer to which part of the Arcade Version they are, since the Arcade story is divided into 3 acts. Since we're only on Act 1 - "Phantom of Labyrinth", I guess it's safe to call the opening "CENTRALFICTION Act 1 - Phantom of Labyrinth". (Unless they just use the same song for all the openings, then it would just be "CENTRALFICTION".)

Everytime I see that music video, I feel like I'm hallucinating...

I just noticed...did anyone see the mark on Naoto's chest? He didn't have that at all during Bloodedge Experience! Not to mention it looks very similar to Ragna's mark, with the only difference being the text is below the mark, not above.

Well, we really don't have much information about XBLAZE's timeline outside the games and the Bloodedge Experience novels. For what we know, they could just be counterparts to BLAZBLUE's versions of the characters. What I'm curious about though is the dialogue of Rachel at the beginning of the trailer: "I sought the Azure yet I did not do so to grant any wish of mine." By this, I'm guessing Raquel Alucard's gonna make an appearance in the game. Well, no matter. After all, it only took like a month or two for Chronophantasma information to get released. We'll be fine.

With CPEX coming out, Arc should really implement Library Mode into the western release.

...I have a feeling that Sol is going to guard break Ragna, then just Instant Kill him...

That looks amazing. Whoever does the illustrations for the Bloodedge Experience has gotta do the covers for the main BB games.

That is bizarre o_O. They always change the astral music when a new expansion comes out. Nothing -> Hekira (CS) Hekira -> Shinsou (CS2/CSEX) Shinsou -> CHRONOPHANTASMA (CP1.0) CHRONOPHANTASMA -> Blue Sanction (CP1.05) Blue Sanction -> CHRONOPHANTASMA?! (CP2.0)

He's a ghost. Case Closed. If you need reference, read Phase Shift 1. Do not, and I MEAN DO NOT ever trust wikipedia when it comes to stuff like this. Just go on BlazBlue Wiki.
