>>149207852
So is this all a joke or is actually harboring a crush on Ragna as of Chronophantasma? I hear she even started a race between her, Rachel and Lambda to see who could get to Ragna first. Why do this now when Ragna has Celica? Is it just imouto power growing thanks to her hanging around Ragna more? At this rate she's gonna turn into that girl from WCW by the end of Central Fiction.

>>149211514
>Hey at least we don't need to read a side VN and a side LN to understand it this time right?

Naoto and Es are from bloodedge experience and xblaze light novels and visual novels. To get the whole story on them and their motivations you'd need to have read/watched through both volumes of the light novels and both visual novels of the games. Mai Natsume at least got a extend gaiden to introduce her to game players so westerners will know her but if she gets in the roster sporting her new spear and that new get up we won't know what's up with that because we didn't get those 4 volumes of Remix Heart and 2 volumes of Variable Heart. I can't be too angry about Es, mori did release the two xblaze games over here but how the fuck is the average player supoose to know her,Naoto and Mai? It's just like how Celica showed up in Chronophantasma and we didn't know who the fuck she was. Mori should of stopped with the side material at Phase Shift, no brought Celica into the games and just left her as a relic of the past like the six heroes. It's gotten out of control. He's becoming Nasu

>>149211245
I wanna fill Izzy's doll body with my semen

>>149212152
I was being sarcastic, I'm as mad as you about that. At least I can read the shit Es is from officially and there are fan translations of the other things

>>149210567
What are you, a Kagura fag?
If so Fuck off

We don't take kindly to people trying to hit on other people's imoutos.

>>149212152
Why should Mori even care about westerners having that shit available?
The average player is japanese, and they have all that shit available to them

>>149212152
The day mai is added is the day i stop playing BB.

>>149212435
Because that's not a good business decision and a dick move to the fans that are not japanese, even if the average player is japanese, the game is still sold on other parts of the world and there are fans outside japan. That's a poor argument but that's probably how the nips think anyway

>>149212757
Why?
you could beat mai up.

>>149207852
>and has a slight want to murder him so that she could go look for Ragna
I don't remember this.

>>149211441
What's Hazama doing to Ragna there?

It's not like him to just attack someone who's imprisoned like that. Terumi, sure, but Hazama tends to be more hands-off with his trolling.

>>149212765
He doesn't care about you

>>149211441
It doesn't look like it'll happen with every character. Like it's probably not gonna go too far into, say, Litchi or Azrael's arcade modes. Also, a lot of these event CGs seem to have Ragna in them. Out of all the story CGs we've seen, three had Ragna. So even though we're seeing things from the point of view of other characters, it looks like it's primarily gonna be mostly characters with strong involvement with Ragna.

>>149212765
They make all of their money from japan
Why should they care

>>149213638
Hell, you should glad they even took the time to bring over SOME of the shit

>>149212765
That's a retarded way of thinking. By that logic, you should also remove any references, concepts or ideas tied to a particular country as well. By your logic, every story should be fully compatible with every part of the world.

Anon, I hate to break it to you, but this is not a tactic that's unique to Japan. Do you have any idea how many supplementary materials for American games aren't available to the rest of the world?

When it comes to things involving stories, the best practice is to basically just disregard anything but your primary audience. Because you can't please everyone. You can't. You can't ensure that everyone will be satisfied by your work, so you should generally pick a group and work hard to satisfy them in particular. These are Japanese games, soaked to the brim in Japanese pop culture and concepts, designed for a Japanese audience, and you apparently seem to believe that they should work to make it just as accessible to a western audience as the Japanese one? You're being incredibly self-centered when you say this.

Tell me, what if you were a story writer and someone told you "Dude, this doesn't work for people in the Philippines, you should cut it out."? Would you go out of your way to alter your work in such a way in order to appease a group of people that were never in your mind to begin with?

I'm just saying. Noel became very fond of Ragna very quickly and I don't know how much of it is because of her Saya genes or because of what her interactions with Ragna did. She doesn't know that he's the one who saved her from Arakune,right?

>>149215498
She probably knows instinctively.

Also, his act of saving her even at the cost of his arm made a profound impact on her worldview. He gave her confidence and drive, something no one and nothing else could give her up until that point.

Ragna is very important to Noel. She gives her confidence, motivation and drive. She gives her the strength to stand on her own two feet without wavering.

Noel split herself because of wanting to protect a certain somebody,right? Whatever is inside that gate is a threat to Ragna?

>>149218021
It's not whats in the gate, but what being involved with the gate means.

>>149218532
So Noel freaked out about that just like Rachel freaks out about Naoto erasing Ragna's existence? Boy they really really liked Ragna. Meanwhile his actual girlfriend is paling around with his potential killer.

>>149212152
The Six Heroes storyline was a good introduction of who Celica was, just as Remix Heart Gaiden was of Mai. ArcSys did a good job introducing those spinoff characters for people who haven't read their source material; why are you so convinced this won't happen with Es and Naoto? But you can't expect them have everything from the spinoffs in the game; what would be the point of spinoffs then? And conversely it's nice to see stuff from the spinoffs in the main game as it makes them more relevant.

>>149212757
Why do you say that? If it's because her outfit has fanservice then you should have quit when CT came out. If it's that a boy ended up in a girl's body you should have quit when Platinum was added. And it seems you didn't mind Amane either. I hope she does get added just to see if the whiny drama queens such as yourself will put their money where their mouth is.

>>149233809
Other characters outside of Es confirmed then, I guess?
There's no way they'll have the roster asymmetrical.

>>149233809
Well shit. That's actually really conspicuous as hell. If they had put her under Tager or Amane, then no one would really have any reason to believe that there might be more than one more new character this version. But they put her THERE of all places. That ain't just opening the floodgates; that's practically tearing a hole right into the dam.

>>149232485
Naoto is voiced by Crispin Freeman

>>149233809
So as much of a shit as Mai is, she's probably in. That leaves, at minimum, two more characters, and at most four. I think Jubei and Trinity have good chances of making it in at this point.

Now, if they leave it at that, it'd still be symmetrical. The shape would be a little weird, but that could still very easily be the end of it.

My guess is one of them will be an alternate Ragna at the very end when he obtains some new power or whatever. There's a pretty good chance that he'll obtain the "True" BlazBlue, so he'd probably have to have a new character to accommodate that plot point. The main problem with that idea is that I can't really imagine such an important character being thrown into the way bottom left or right like that. He'd have to be somewhere closer to the upper center, except that's where the timer for the character select is. I dunno, maybe it won't happen, but I still feel like an alternative Ragna is very likely.

Other candidates are Terumen, another Saya because why the fuck not, Raquel (though I hope not) and Ms. Tail because she's too sexy NOT to be playable.

>>149233809
If they want to make this perfectly symmetrical then they're going to need to add 6 more characters.

They chose not to include Taro in Remix Heart Gaiden, which makes it look highly unlikely that they plan to add him to the games. If anything, I consider Kajun to be more likely to become playable.

>>149242150
Yeah, I wouldn't count on that. Mai's probably getting in, and however reluctant I am to admit that, logically, I must concede that this will most likely happen. But I can't, regardless of any real personal interest or disinterest on my part, expect any more representatives from Remix Heart beyond that.

It would also be symmetrical with just one more character.

Really I think the most you could say is that they probably have an odd number of characters to add.

It seems Ragna English VA hasn't been contacted yet going by his twitter response. I have a feeling they trying to pull the same bullshit they did with Revelator in which they announce at the last minute that their is no dub

>>149274069
You're kidding. That's such a bummer. Damn it ASW you jewish fucks.

>>149274069
Fingers crossed. The dub for BB is one of the few I like.

>>149274615
You can check his twitter yourself which is Seitz_Unseen.

>>149274994
I like Blazblue dub as well because it's very good minus the audio issues that was happening in CP and Nine english VA performance.

I can't really be optimistic about this because the dub for the story mode mostly was probably done around the time of March or April since I remember Rachel JP VA saying something about recording for the story around that time on her blog. Right now I wouldn't be surprise if they are just quality testing the game right now for any errors before they ship it out on October. Recording sessions for english VA can go for two weeks to a couple of months depending on how much dialogue is tackle throughout the day during the session. So at most for the game to be out very early means that it's either going to have a rushed dub or no dub at all like with Revelator.

>>149276138
The aksys games website says that Central Fiction will be out in the U.S. by Winter 2016, which probably means the date on the english trailer was an error.

>>149276138
Fighting games like BlazBlue should, ideally, be released in foreign territories as quickly as possible in order to lessen the gap between foregin and Japanese releases. The Japanese already have a massive head start since they've had the arcade version all this time.

It's perhaps possible that they wish to release the game sooner rather than later, even at the expense of English voice acting.

>>149279840
In the case of Blazblue which is not only a fighter but also places a lot more emphasis on story it is needed for people that just don't want to read text on the bottom screen all day. This wouldn't be issue if it was JP audio only since the beginning.

But, it's been over six or seven years since they been releasing Blazblue with it's English dub. It's a slap in the face to the dub voice actors who have put a lot of work into the series throughout these many years and the fans who brought the game because of the dub work. To wait until the finale of the series to cut corners is a load of bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated.

>>149280325
This is a good point after all these years for them to leave out the dub is a dick move.

>>149280325
You are right, it would be a major blow to the company without english audio. Still, we shouldn't give up hope, the Aksys games website page on central fiction says that the release date is Winter 2016 so the date in the trailer is probably either an error or a hint towards a demo. They might be almost finished with the english audio right now so stop worrying about it.

>>149280740
>They might be almost finished with the english audio right now so stop worrying about it.
Seitz said he hasn't been contacted about a dub yet.

>>149278092
No. It means they are disorganized haven't bothered to update their site. You don't make an "error" like that. They even rectified the "Winter" error in the video description of the trailer to "Fall." It will be here Fall.

>>149280325
There's also the issue of time and costs. BBCF's story is said to be 1.3 times larger than BBCP's. The arcade mode on its own is over three times larger. There are other factors to consider too, such as the recent video game voice actors strike and related controversies.

>>149280852
Plus, with the limited amount time that's left for CF release in Japan they should of had started sooner getting the dub since they have to at least have the English battle clips for the JP release done so that people who play the english audio can be pick up on the JP side. If at least that isn't done then you might as well kiss the dub goodbye.

>>149281338
>If at least that isn't done then you might as well kiss the dub goodbye.
Already done. Guess I better enjoy CP while it lasts.

Just buy the game used if you want to play it badly or import the game from Japan. Since the US branch wants to act shady on the matter and possibly be cheap in regards to removing the dub. Then, I too can act cheap by my wallet until they do what is right.

Come to think of it, it's kind of annoying how even after all this time, there still aren't proper English arcade machines for Centralfiction in the west. All the machines we have are just imported Japanese ones, aren't they?

>>149282059
>Importing from Japan

You do realize you'd be paying more if you did that, right?

>>149282240
It's cheaper if you're a yuropoor. You also get the free dlc they typically release.

Nice, she shaves her pubes in a way to make a cool symbol

I think they can translate it fast enough for the dub to be done. They might have started making english audio a little while after bbcf was released in JP arcades. There is no point in cutting out the dub to save money.

Honestly, we should have expected this when they failed to include the glossary for Chronophantasma. I mean, to be fair, Aksys is a small company, so if they deem BBCF's story mode too long to justify dubbing, I'm not sure if I can blame them. 1.3x doesn't seem like much, but if you consider the sheer volume of BBCP, it's a lot. And that's just the story mode alone. It's bullshit, but in the end, that's just how the world works. Money makes the world go round, and companies, especially small companies, have to be a lot more careful with their money.

>>149283713
Yes. You don't necessarily need it to understand the general gist of the story, since Continuum Shift Extend has an abridged adaptation of the story, Chronophantasma Extend has digest version of CT and CS' story and Centralfiction is gonna have a digest of all three previous games.

That being said, it's only gonna help you understand Ragna, Noel and Jin's stories. It's not gonna help you understand why Tao, Tager, Carl or the other bit players are there.

>>149282803
That don't mean crap compared to the money that they get from their fans who buy their games because of it being dual audio. If they felt that it's too much they shouldn't have been bringing along the dub for so long in the first place.

What makes this situation more worse is that they choose to be huss about the whole damn thing as if pretending that the matter doesn't exist despite still being asked on numerous occasions if the dub is going be there are or not. If they feel so confident about their decision they need to have the balls to stick with it and face the consequences instead of waiting until near release to suddenly drop info on the dub not being there.

>>149284238

They either don't have the right to answer or they do but just choose to ignore people questions because of the fear of the backlash it would bring to them for ditching a series that had a dub for about six or seven years.

Honestly I'd rather they not have the dub than not have the Library.

The English dub is mostly fine (holy shit Celica sounds terrible), but I always prefer to play games in their original language anyways.

If we get a BB with new graphics would you like Aksys to keep the sprites or go full meme nice 3d like GG?
>>149313161
They better not fucking leave library out

>>149313235
I would like to keep sprites because I want to keep the roster. 3D would mean trimming it down tremendously.

>>149313529
I'd guess they're ending Ragna's story now exactly so they can do roster reset for the next game

so even if they keep using sprites, they'd be done from the ground up (higher res) and starting over with like 15 or so characters

I've already gone over this once before.

The name of the weapon is "Crimson Sphere: Outseal". That much is easy. The problem is the 「ガリアスフィラ」, which is NOT Japanese, just a Japanese Katakana transliteration of a foreign word or set of words. I don't know what language the word or words are, so I cannot tell you what 「ガリアスフィラ」 ("Garisasufira") means. This has nothing to do with Moonrunes so there is nothing I can tell you about it.

Can someone please link me to the latest issue of the comic, I can't find it

>>149338670
There's no way that's based on Malaysian. My guess is that "sufira" is an attempt to render "sphere" on katakana. The first part gets translated as Gaul, which is rather odd though.

>>149338945
Is there no official answer to this?

>>149339446
Not at the moment. Another guess is that the name might be Latin. Maybe "Garisasufira" is actually "Gallia sphaera". The second part again fits with the Japanese word for sphere.

>>149342712
The dub been with the series for over six years. For those who only care about JP voices and gameplay of course you wouldn't care.

But, for those who got into it because of the english voice actors and been supporting ArcSys because of that all these years it's load of crap. Plus, letting them off on this make it seem like it's ok for them to screw over fans whatever they feel like. It's pure laziness to not have the dub at this point despite having it for every game release so far.

>>149343114
The dub is the most expensive part of a localization. It's not laziness; it's an attempt to limit expenses.

>>149343114
>It's pure laziness to not have the dub at this point
Or they just think that they gain more from releasing the game without it. A further delayed western release for the sake of dubbing all the content in BB does not help the game at all, so it probably came down to getting the game out quick or having a dub.

You see, after CS I was really let down by not having multi-5 translations anymore. But after a while I thought "It doesn't make the game worse". There are probably good reasons for not including a dub. And the guys who manage twitter&co accounts are probably not to blame for them. Live goes on, dubfriend.

>>149343305
Saving expenses when you got people supporting your product for many years because of a standard that they have set up themselves since they first promoted the product until now just to take it away at the end is a load of crap. If they feel proud about that decision then they shouldn't playing the coward games they are doing now by dodging the issue that has been brought up for months.

>>149343331
Blazblue never had an issue of the games being release close to the JP release with the english dub until CSE. That's when Arc System Works began to have more control over the process of the localization and things started to get messy. So it not being release in a timely matter is more due to how Arc System Works handles the process of the localization.

I honestly doubt that most of the fandom got into BB because of the English VAs. Like, are you saying that you generally choose what jap fighting games to play based on their dub cast?

This was never a problem before and there is no reason whatsoever to assume there is now. Especially since BBCT and BBCS released 5 days and 25 days respectively from their JPN counterparts. It can be done. And if they need a few more months, BBCP shows they will take it. Plus, Blazblue is no Street Fighter. It has an extremely niche following in the West and the majority of the players who "can't wait" just import. And that is an even smaller minority. Most people I know who aren't "hardcore" gamers or fucking weebs have no idea what it is. They wouldn't lose any money at all by delaying 2 or 3 months to get the job done. The people who are going to buy it will still do so.

I don't mind the JPN cast, I'm in the process of learning moon myself. But I'd be a goddamn liar if I said I care about "m-muh original nip animu voices" as I vastly prefer the dub cast in my mother tongue. Sugita is cool, but Seitz is Ragna for me. Same for Cristina Vee being Noel and Nu; Komdo's delivery annoys the shit out of me. I would even pay for English DLC if need be. I really hope the finale receives a proper dub.

Anyone have a vector of the render of the classic BB styck layout art? I'm working on a new stick and want to make it Noel themed.

I agree completely with you. I don't mind the Jap but the English dub really is how BlazBlue sounds for me. I'll buy it even without dub but I'd be extremely heartbroken if that were the case.

>>149352231
Buy it used if you are getting the US version. Arc System Work US don't deserve a damn dime if they are going to treat there customers like this.

>>149352231
Pretty much this.

Is Tsubaki crying for one of her waifufags tragically shooting himself in Munich?

>>149352231
I would pretty torn as well. If there is no dub, I'm definitely taking the route >>149352556 mentioned. I can't endorse them halfassing the localization of the end of Ragna's story. No way will I support this decision. What grates me most of all is their silence. They are pissing me off.

They were dead silent about the removal of Library Mode in BBCP until the game already released and had to be confronted about it. They didn't say shit about the lack of a Revelator dub until a week prior to release. And now they fucking ignore all questions about the BBCF dub as if we won't find out in the near future. Why can't they just say "We unfortunately cannot dub the release due to schedule constraints among other circumstances" (translation: "Naah, man. 2much wurk. We're cheap and lazy as all holy fuck.") But at least a bullshit PR response would mitigate some of the tension for dub fans instead of willfully leaving us in the dark. When the VAs haven't been contacted yet (let alone voice the battle quotes for the JPN version which releases in just over 2 months for netplay compatibility) - they may as well stop being cowards and spill it. It's only further cementing my decision to buy the game second-hand.

So, who is going to fuck up in CF? Tsubaki, Ragna, Noel or someone new?

I like Tsubaki, but it's not like there's any competition here

this

dubfags should just fuck off desu

>>149355941
Most pairings are pretty clear in Blazblue. You have Ragna/Celica, Jin/Tsubaki, Arakune/Litchi, Taro/Mai and Jubei/Nine.

He looks like a nice guy, I hope there is a dub so that he can get some cash money

>>149356638
Wow. It's almost like you didn't read the thread.

>>149356776
Once again - delusional Westerner, thinking that Japanese "seiyuus" are celebrities and English VAs some nameless losers. Seitz is pretty much a top tier (in terms of fame) English VA, and the entire BlazBlue series means pretty much nothing more than "just another one of those weaboo games".

>>149357107
I never said he is starving m8 I just said that he looks like and alright guy and looking like an alright guy is enough for me to want him to get some more pocket money. Don't go assuming that much

>>149357245
He has been supportive of the series along with the other VA's. Even did the Alter Memory dub script and serve as director for it if I remember correctly that came out last year. Even though Alter Memory sucked in both Japanese and English Seitz still managed to make it entertaining with the dub performance.

>>149357551
>Implying the Jap dub was bad
It's actually not bad
It's just the subbers who were retarded

seriously

the fuck?

>>149358292
ADVANCING ON YOUR POSITION!

>>149358292
I'm not trying to say the dub doesn't have it's flaws. But the VA performance is still is good despite the quality of the translation.

Suddenly I understand why Ragna's and Noel's dialogue with each other sounded more shippy in the dub.

Still did Ragna really hear Noel asking for his help way back before she was dragged into that cocoon? how? It's just like that scene in Chronophantasma. Nobody heard Noel scream out for brother except Ragna and only Ragna was able to break the dimensional barrier around her room. Just how?

Oh it's this forced memer again.
