BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

Taken directly from the PS3 board

SO an interview from Famitsu came in I'll only do the hilights

- When asked about GG and BB series as similar he responded that they are both very different games in terms of gameplay.

- He says to him Blazblue is the new GuiltyGear and will be a flagship title to their name for future games to come.

- He wants to deliver things most fighting games do not, such as being unable to really hit a character just because they're down on the ground. (Referencing SSF4?) and with this game you can.

- The main series of the game will ALWAYS be a 2D fighting game. (Possibly refering to what happened with the GG Games)

- They had enough time from the Arcade port to the console port to make a few changes to the characters.

- One of the hard things were the graphics, this is because the animation sheets take up 1.5 the amount the Guilty Gear ones took up.

- The reactions of all the characters to specific characters have expanded a lot as well, in fact even against the same characters their expressions will change! Keep notice of these!

- For him the games have to be fun and competetive, if it's just competetive or it's just fun it doesn't fully make a fighting game purchasable. He also feel's admiration of this from Capcom's Street Fighter 4.

- He see's Capcom as a rival that they strive to overcome, as to him Capcom is currently the King of fighting games.

- The Arcade version for him is the worst impression to give the game because they needed to compress everything for the Arcade, expect full detail in the Console version.

- The story will take 30 hours to beat, 1 1/2 -2 hours per every character.

- Story Mode will progress a bit more like GGXX's series where the gameplay will have more of a tie-in to the story then the 1st game.

- An example is there will be some places where characters will be at full power, toakaka might fight slower from eating too much things like that.

- All characters will also be appearing as unique boss versions in different storylines.

- Out of all the Astral Finishes only 3 have retained their originals from the Arcade

- He highly recommends to see Jin's new Astral Heat!!

- Most voice actors contributed from 500-700 lines worth of voice acting.

- Many mysteries will be solved but more will appear as well.

- Parts in the Arcade mode will be answered as well.

- Opening is done by Gonzo yet again.


New Astrals ftw... oh and that other stuff's pretty cool too

Looking forward to new Astrals, though I think Tsubaki and Hazama's are sure to be the ones that won't change being the first version and all. The last one I think is either Ragna's or Lambda's.

I feel like one should be Bang's since one of the CS achievements is to have him end up in his loincloth a bunch through his astral, which I guess they could just have his new astral have the same effect, but w/e, although I'll miss Noel's, I really liked hers, it was all prettyful and colorlike
