XBLAZE: Lost memories announced

[Calamitus]

I'm curious about this person who is speaking with Sechs. So far, only Kuon's father comes to mind.

Looks to be their father. In the young Sechs shot, Sechs says something about his father would be punished is something becomes official.

The second as older is probably Sechs wanting to know what his mission is (hard to tell who the speaker is).

The close up looks to be Sechs going to use Deadly Sign.

And the white screen is Sechs talking with his "friend".

The second PV have been released.

And it sounds like Kiri is voiced by Suzumura Kenichi (Ripper), but that is only based on one line heard in the pv.

Xblaze could be a decent fighting game with at least 14 playable characters. Sadly they don't have resources to make it real.

Part 2 of the Famitsu articles (forgot to put it here last week)

Part 3 (no chibis this time though, should be the last part if I read it correctly)

 

Kiri looks up to heroes that save everyone, and he has come from a far away place to kill the boss of the "bad guys" (why do I get the feeling that the boss is Touya, being the black beast and all)

Brain cat will have very few scenes, but he is a very important character.

If you thought Unomaru was bad in the last game, he is going to be even worse in this. And he is going to be mercilessly towards Hinata and Es.

[Calamitus]

Can you translate information about Acht, Drei and Avenge please?

[Zedar90]

Here is some of it, it wasn't anything too interesting or new info (IMO).

 

Acht.

She wears sexy clothes and talks like she is on a high horse, but on the inside she is more like a young dreaming girl. She believes that she didn't become a 10 sage due to here abilities, and maybe because of this she began to be charmed by Sechs.

 

Drei

An unlucky man that got charmed by Sechs. He was a 10 sage that worked hard and was kind to the weak, but Sechs existence was too shocking for him and change Drei.

Sometimes if Drei wasn't there, Sechs words couldn't be understood, an important character.

In this game, there are a scene to be seen where Drei is talking with Kuon.

His hair is there to make his silhouette look like an ogre.

Also, as a behind the scene theme, all three of the 10 sages have clothes have something taken from their old school uniform.

 

Avenge

He was only working for the Magic Guild in order to hunt down Ripper, but Ripper is already dead in the previous game. He will have scenes with Touya.

The character designer first wanted to make Avenge into a dark hero that transformed, but it ended with the design he now has.

[Calamitus]

Thank you. I thought they will make Avenge irrelevant after killing Ripper, I guess this article proves it.

[FA-ST]

If you thought Unomaru was bad in the last game, he is going to be even worse in this. And he is going to be mercilessly towards Hinata and Es.

Wait, how is he in this game anyway? This makes it sound like he's still active, and not just a flashback character as I was expecting him to be. 

[Zedar90]

It's probably only flash back. The birth of Es, maybe how he kidnapped Hinata or treated her when she was younger.

Or maybe he does comeback, almost nobody who been shown to trip into the boundary have died after all, and it's not like he was shown dead, only wounded and into the gate.

Famitsu review score for Lost:Memories is 8/7/7/7. Code:Embryo was 8/8/8/6.

Edit: It's said it will take 24 hours to clear the game.

[Zedar90]

Only a week left to Japanese release, and today will Radio:Xblaze air the last episode. There seems to be three more episode (what is it with Arc and last episode?), one will come with the preorder of the game, and the other two will be uploaded to Nico douga in April and May.

 

There is going to be a demo of L:M, and it will come out on release date, and on Arc's April fool stream, 30 minutes of gameplay from the demo was shown. The entire demo wasn't streamed, only up to the part where one was going to give Watashi a name since she can't remember her own.

 

Screens from the stream:

Looks like sells on physical are very low, the charts are out, even if they only track 4 days of sales in the case of Xblaze, the game failed to enter the Famitsu top 30 sales chart, so that means that the game sold less than 3.200 copies in 4 days. Not unexpected anyway.

Wow, that´s....shit , i guess we can consider this the last Xblaze game without any doubt

The first one didn't sold that much either, on the first 4 days, both versions (together) sold 10.800 copies, and still we got this game, maybe the development cost is very low and even with low sales, is worth for them. In my opinion they did it backwards, they should have done Xblaze in novels or manga and the phase novels on consoles.

Out of curiosity has anybody else actually played this yet?  I'm dying to discuss the story a bit, particularly after figuring out who Watashi and Imouto are.

[VermilionBird]

Only a handful of people have actually played it here but quite a few know the story

[blackraen]

So about the phantom field, watashi and nobody, and their relation to the blazblue story line ...

 

After going through the story I'm wondering if this implies that Nine effectively created the situation where the Black Beast actually arose in the Blazblue timeline considering how Es said she had created the Tsukuyomi as a barrier to prevent access to the Boundary, but then left at Nine's prompting.

 

I know that she suggested that all Es had to do was separate her memories and leave behind the Embryo as a shell to maintain the Tsukuyomi, but it would seem that didn't work out all that well in the end.

 

Not sure if my interpretation of that exchange is accurate though, but it was fun to see little Nine and Celica at least.

Didn't the tsukuyomi only block the access between the Xblaze's world and the boundary, and not the other worlds and the Boundary?

Wouldn't truly matter if the Blazblue world is separate from Xblaze's world. But then again, when has Nine done anything that haven't ended in a disaster.

 

I myself hope that the next part in Bloodedge LN will shed some more light on the topic, since Kiiro said that Mitsurugi Agency couldn't go after the Azure due to some circumstances, which could be because of the Tsukuyomi.

[Zedar90]

Today came the fourth and (probably) final DLC out, the Sechs Scenario.

Finally I could play it, since it wasn't included with the digital release of the main game.

 

So Sechs was an artificial human made by Sechs' father in grief over losing his wife and son at childbirth.

Well, some similarities between Touya and Sechs have been made.

Both are existence that have been made to be dead people, and both can talk to themselves in a white space...

Hehe, both could be seen as zombies, only Touya was made by a "god" and Sechs' by a human.

Well, Nine was pretty clear that they were different worlds due to the difference in history, but considering the embryo is a key part of the master unit in the Blazblue world too, I wonder if the "alternate worlds" is a phenomenon that is separate from the system/embryo interference or if the interference is what gives rise to the alternate worlds.

 

With that in mind, Nine prompts Es to vacate the tsukuyomi and leave the embryo behind as a shell.  When you cross reference that with Rachael's Tsukuyomi Unit, which Relius revealed was intended to protect time it just feels like there's a connection there.  And the fact that Nine ends up trapped as Phantom, as a story element, feels intentional, so now we see her involved in the possible origin of the "issue", know she was involved in the temporary resolution, and then finally trapped by the aftermath.  That's definitely a deep read by me though, definitely not supported by the xblaze ls stuff.

 

I just felt like that "separate world" play was pretty rude.  'Look all of this stuff looks connected....'   '.. but it's not!'  If they're serious then I call bullshit on them for trying to just make XBlaze completely non-canon with a single dialogue line, you know?

 

I haven't read the bloodedge LNs yet though.  I'm still at a language level were LNs are a tough read.  Should probably get over that though.  

 

Are the other DLC scenarios good?  I got the physical and have the Sechs scene but once I platinumed main game I went on to other stuff.

Good? They are only gag scenarios, nothing special. At least they are free. Have yet to finish Hinata's and to play Kuon's.

 

I think of the whole different worlds more like a larger scale Continuum Shift. And also didn't Izanami tie together all of the phenomenons at the end of Blazblue? It should mean that the Xblaze would at least lead to the end of CS, unless it's yet protected by Tsukuyomi and is yet a stand alone world.

I don't like the whole thing with alternative worlds, especially since that I feared that it was how it was going to be, but at least they aren't unconnected

 

Collapsed: Bloodedge Experience:

I put this as separate in case you don't want to read it.

It's not know much if Tsukuyomi is involved, it's only a small comment made at the end of the second part.

Hikagami Kiiro, who is the Dimensional Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, Es No.07, only mention that she and her sisters was made to explore the boundary and find the azure. But due to some circumstance they had to give up. But after seeing Spinner using the embryo to open a portal to the boundary, Mitsurugi Agency decided to go after the azure again.

 

And some other details, one of the heroines, Raquel Alucard (well, she is supposed to be named Rachel, but since her name is written as Rakeru, is decided to use Raquel due to the different pronunciation) is a daughter that Clavis created from the Embryo, he found while fighting a Soul Eater user, so that he could gain the azure.

As a small detail, Raquel's eyes are always golden, like when Rachel uses Tsukuyomi Unit.

Also the main character of the story, Naoto, uses what seems to be the same drive as Touya. It's called Bloodedge in Bloodedge Experience and he uses it to create for example a sword and a big scythe

[FA-ST]

So, did they explain what Touya really is/was before the Wadatsumi incident(and also the reason why he was there in the first place)?

Also, what/who exactly is Brain Cat?

And one last thing: I think you said, in one of your previous posts(not sure which thread) that Watashi used Nobody's memories and the grimoire in her eye to "recreate" Es, which then somehow finds Touya...or something like that...I should probably go look for that post and reread it 

.

Anyway, I was wondering...how exactly does Es end up back in Touya's time?
