I’M GOING IN! SERIOUSLY FUCKING HYPE!

Ap0llo · August 31, 2011, 7:37am

that was a good game

Hecatom · August 31, 2011, 7:38am

lets hope that the game ends being very popular (and hopefully not broke at least not like HnK and SBX) and gets some revisions
by the pics we at least know that it has a burst mechanic, wich translates to combos
now, would it have air dashes?

And a bit more details:

Speaking with Famitsu, the game’s producer, Arc’s Toshimichi Mori, said that he was shocked when Atlus came to them with the offer to work on the title. The BlazBlue team includes many fans of the Persona series, so their motivation for the project was very high, he said.

The Persona team didn’t want to just have the BlazBlue team develop the game for them. Instead, they wanted the game to be a joint development project. According to Mori, game’s director Takumi Iguchiya (whom you’ll recognize as the lead programmer on the BlazBlue series) is working closely with the Persona team.

Arcade Mode: Face off against CPU opponents while following the story

Story Mode: Delve deeper into the arcade mode’s story. This will be exclusive to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Score Attack Mode: Face off against CPU opponents to get the high score

VS Mode: Face off against a CPU or human opponent

Online Battle: Face off against players throughout the world in online combat (I imagine that can be taken as confirmation of an international release…)

I wonder if an OST will be part of the package deal for the port. Between Atlus’ own sound team and ASW’s own, this could stand to be a very interesting collab in this area alone!

So they do like Persona? Nice, even less chances of it being bad.

I’m getting the collector’s edition or whatever, this is a must fucking buy

Ichipoo · August 31, 2011, 7:44am

It’s gonna be a looooooong wait guys…

And I’m importing this so badly, a game this hyped up must have a super expensive Limited Edition.

Joe_Yabuki · August 31, 2011, 7:47am

I hope it has a simultanious release around the world, it’s a fighting game for god’s sake, Japan will already have the arcade for a few months.

X_Sword · August 31, 2011, 7:53am

damn…this game is going to be an anticipated the of mines. keep up with the news!Izanagi will look good in a different style

frustratedsquirrel · August 31, 2011, 7:55am

wow, when I saw this I thought it would be a joke. One of my favorite RPG series turned into a fighter by one of my favorite fighter developers? omg omg omg omg.

Syke1 · August 31, 2011, 7:57am

WHAT!?

All I know is that my nigga Akihiko and Kanji better be top-tier.

db · August 31, 2011, 8:00am

I want to play as the Demi-Fiend

Westlo · August 31, 2011, 8:05am

Akihiko is going to be Makoto is she wasn’t a slutty fox.

CyberAkuma · August 31, 2011, 8:09am

It more than likely will. If an even smaller company like SNKP can opt to work on both the console and arcade versions of KOFXIII at the same time, ASW and Atlus don’t really have an excuse. Plus, Atlus will likely want this game available for the home market as soon as possible, since they have no real reason to care about the fighting game arcade market that much at all (certainly made evident by how the last Gouketsuji/Power Instinct quickly got thrown under the bus…).

Syke1 · August 31, 2011, 8:11am

I’m already made up. I’m maining Akihiko, Koromaru, and Kanji son.

Dopples · August 31, 2011, 8:29am

I want this game in me. I want it in me so bad.

Also, please please please add Junpei Atlus, I’d love you forever if you did!

PozerWolf · August 31, 2011, 8:34am

I won’t be excited until it’s stated if this game will be on the Nesica system or not.
If it isn’t, then it’s good news for both out of Japan arcade fans as well as console people. If it is… well… might want to wait a very long time…

Gorehound · August 31, 2011, 8:34am

Just imagine the Atlus fanservice packaging, just like they did with all their games, when the game gets releases for the US which it will.

deadontime101 · August 31, 2011, 8:34am

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Syke1 · August 31, 2011, 8:34am

I didn’t like Junpei as much as everyone else…

A persona selection similar to AH’s would be dope. Maybe a Social link partner/assist?

Jarv · August 31, 2011, 8:36am

Man this game looks tight. I think it’d be cooler to keep the Persona tied to the player character, though. Obviously they’ll change that + add the Social Link Assist in the sequel!

Also how the hell they gonna rename Charles Barkley to Yu? What a boring name.
