Three new characters revealed for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle

“Roster Keeps Growing”

Arc System Works just had their livestream talking about their upcoming game BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. Now it was in Japanese so you couldn’t understand them unless you speak that language. The biggest thing to take away from that trailer were the three new characters.

As to no surprise we get Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4. We got the news that a Persona character would be relieved and it was pretty easy to guess it would be Yukiko since she was the last person from the investigation team to be revealed I wrote that in my latest article and I also said expect to see more characters announced and we got two more.

The Man Eater Badass Ass Azrael from BlazBlue was revealed. I’m not surprised to see Azrael. I actually predicted that he would be in the game in my video. He’s become popular and it's cool to see another villain in the game because we only have him and Hazama.

Gordeau from Under Night In-Birth makes an appearance. Now I haven't played Under Night In-Birth but I had a feeling he would be in Tag Battle. Gordeau looks like a cool laid back character and I’m excited to play as him.

Now we didn’t get anything else but at the end of the trailer it said next character reveal is ? So we don’t know when the next reveal is but we can take a guess that we’ll see something from the Playstation Experience next month and also at the end of the trailer a character said “Eh? You guys are… also into this?” We can only make guesses as to who are the next characters but one thing for sure is that the next character will be a RWBY character. We didn’t get that in this reveal. We always get three characters per reveal trailer. I’m 90% sure that Blake from RWBY will be next character revealed unless Arc System throws a curveball but I doubt they will.

We also got small gameplay from Noel, Chie, Waldstein and Weiss. Now Noel and Chie look like they play the same from their games. It was cool seeing them combo with their assist partner. Now I can’t say anything about Waldstein mainly due to the fact I haven’t played Under Night yet. Now Weiss is an interesting one. It seems like the biggest tool to use are her glyphs. Some of her glyphs are used to summon ice crystals from different positions but she can also use her glyphs to bounce off and attack directly. Glyphs will definitely be used for a lot of mix-ups. It’s no surprise that I’m excited to use the RWBY characters the most because they are brand new coming into the fighting game world. I have faith that Arc System will have RWBY characters fight similar to how they are in the show.

Be sure to see what characters will be revealed next month. BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle comes in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Persona 4 Character Reveal Coming Fri. Nov. 17th

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Persona Character Reveal Coming Fri. Nov. 17th

“Easy Guess”

Well we’re towards the end of Nov. and Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we have plenty of things to be thankful for and that's a new character reveal for the Arc System’s upcoming game BlazBlue Cross Battle. Arc System just recently announced that they will be streaming this Friday Nov. 17th and they will be revealing a Persona character and I think it's easy to predict that it will be Yukiko Amagi.

I think it's no question that we all knew that the investigation team will be in this game. We already have Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi would be the next character to be revealed. Now Arc System could throw a curveball and might reveal a different character like Teddy or Naoto or Kanji but the biggest curveball would be Rise Kujikawa. The reason why is that Rise was in Persona 4 Ultimax as a playable character and Cross Tag Battle features Blazblue, Persona 4 Arena, Under-Night and RWBY.

Now Arc System only said a Persona character would be revealed but definitely be on the lookout for more characters to be revealed this Friday. I really can’t see them just revealing one character for a big game. It's hard to guess which Under-Night character is going to be revealed. For BlazBlue you can make a guess that characters such as Makoto, Hakumen or Litchi Faye Ling will make an appearance in this game since they are popular characters in the series. Now for Under-Night characters it's hard to guess which character will be revealed next due to the fact that Under-Night isn’t as popular here in the United States so it can be any anybody and I believe one version of the game came out and the next games were updates.

I’m hoping to also see a RWBY character revealed as well and I think the next character will be Blake. It would be no surprise due to the fact of how they were revealed before the RWBY show was aired with Ruby being the first, Weiss being the second, Blake being the third and Yang being the fourth and plus you look at the RWBY title each letter represents the girls names. R for Ruby, W for Weiss, B for Blake and Y for Yang. Now outside those four main characters it's hard to guess what other characters will be revealed just like Under-Night.

We might get more than just a character reveal we might get some new modes talking about a story or some online modes and we might also get a release date. We all know that it's coming out 2018 but I don’t think it will come out around the same time Dragon Ball Fighterz  because I believe Arc System wants Dragon Ball Fighterz to have its moment then maybe a few months later we’ll get BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.

Be sure to check out Arc System Works character reveal stream this Friday Nov. 17th at 6 am.

Will Dragonball Fighterz DLC Ruin the Game’s Sales?

Will Dragonball Fighterz DLC Ruin the Game’s Sales?

Worth Buying Anymore?

At this year’s E3 anime fans and fighting game fans were very excited for Dragon Ball Fighterz. It bought the swag of Guilty Gear and Marvel vs Capcom 2 but the recent news of their season pass has gotten a mix reaction and it brings the question will the season pass ruin the game’s sales or maybe even the hype?

For those who don’t know Dragonball Fighterz is the latest fighting made by Atlus. Dragonball Fighterz has many different versions. There’s the standard edition that's $59.99. You have Ultimate Edition that's around $109 and you have the most expensive edition and that's the Collector's Edition that’s $139.99. The Collector's Edition comes with the game, a Goku statue, a steelbook and a collectible box.

Just last week it was announced that Dragon Ball Fighterz will have a season pass that cost $34.99. This comes with eight DLC characters that are coming out post launch. Now we’ve a huge mix reaction. One of the reason why gamers are mad is that the Collectors Edition which is the most expensive version doesn’t come with the season. Now it never said in the Collector's Edition description that it will contain the season pass but normally when you buy the most expensive version of a game contains all DLC characters but this one doesn’t. It makes buying the Collector's Edition kind of useless to buy but the Ultimate Edition does include the game, an anime music pack and the season pass.

Another reason why gamers are mixed is because Bandi already announced DLC characters before the game was even released. Gamers feel as though they are getting ripped off because they are paying more buying the game then the season pass when possibly the DLC characters can already be in the game at release.

I’m not going to lie when I heard about the season pass it actually pulled me back from buying this game. I mean $34.99 for eight DLC might be expensive for some people and we also don’t know who the DLC characters are. For all you know you pay for the season pass and you might not even like all DLC characters.

This latest news might hurt the sales for this game. I mean sure Dragonball Fighterz will be at tournaments and it will be supported but game developers really care about their sales. Let’s not pretend they don’t. It’s also good to see gamers standing up and not allowing this. They want to put their money into good use. Now I’m sure Dragonball Fighterz will be a fun game but all this different versions and the season pass has really put gamers on hold from buying this game. We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the future. Dragonball Fighterz comes out Jan. 26th 2017.
