Blazblue Cross Tag Battle.

"We see now that this DLC model is very unpopular, so instead we'll put lootboxes in the game like all the successful AAAs are doing."
 
All we can do is hope for the best. Devs really are listening in spite of their publisher's wishes more often nowadays. Look at Overwatch, which has kept a buy-to-play-everybody model despite the fact that the other MOBA, out of their own studio no less, is pay-to-get-heroes. This was because of prerelease angst on part of the community. Look at our own forums and the positive outcome of the Vasco backlash. Now i'm not sure what the outcome of the Battlefront 2 backlash ultimately was, but I think the only end result that matters is that only people that hate themselves actually play the game, people despise EA even more, and it personally made me want to boot the real BF2 back up to have more hours of fun with my friend (which I did).

People are getting more cautious, through negative reinforcement they're more keenly aware than ever of the sheer power of the backlash. It's moments like these that I recall the old adage of Wal-Mart's founder, Sam Walton:

"There is only one boss-the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else."

That's kinda the problem though - the devs may be listening, but are the publishers?

If that's the case, then how come we still don't have an English dub for BBCF(Still not letting it go.)?

A dub makes everything better. But in contrast, I think Japanese dubs of western animation are a great idea.

If that really were the case, there wouldn't be an English dub for any of the previous BlazBlue titles. Based on the notions about Arc also wanting this game to appeal to both Western and Japanese audiences, maybe they'll give the other series English voice options since I'm sure P4A has English voices, too. (not sure about UNIEL)

I'm gonna be dead wrong about this, but one can dream.

Good. Glad they decided to put Team RWBY in as default. Still bs with how many are still behind that pay wall.

Guess I'd get my Makoto/Yang team up after all.

You know in the greatest plot twist ever, nobody ever said that Blake and Yang were part of the pay plan for the other DLC fighters. If this was a manga it'd be the plot twist of the season 1 finale.

Or maybe im misremembering. Devs need to be more transparent witht his sort of shit.

Yang wasn't mentioned as DLC, since it was still early on announcements, but Blake was listed as part of the DLC pack.
 
But it was pretty obvious after Blake's announcement that she would be.
 
What a pleseant surprise.

A publisher actually understanding one of their biggest mistakes and fixing it relatively quickly.
 
Or it was planned from the beginning

I doubt they made them free as a damage control, more like we were complaining on it before we knew what was happening
 
They certainly didn't. They would say immidietly that Blake is free if they wanted her to be free.

Told you guys....

But there's still the issue of their being a whopping 18 other paywalled characters which we may or may not have a problem with depending on who they are.


Also Yang's chest in that art.........dayum. That's literally all I have to say. Dayum.

Well since I sucked balls last time I played Centralfiction I might as well get back to it in preparation for this game. Although I might need to learn someone new since none of my "mains" are even going to be in the base roster.

Well they did Sign, but not Revelator/Rev2. Chaos Code is still up in the air... Might have to work on better text quality for that. And Arcana Heart... possibly.

By the way, is there a dub for KOF14?
 
So, there's a chance that BBTAG will have a full English dub.
 
No dub in BBCF
"Man why is there no English, Arc sucks for this"

Dub confirmed for BBX
"yeah but it's just a spinoff"
 
Wasn't Aksys doing a DLC dub? Did that not go through?
 
Kawalorn said:
Yes. Wanting dub not just for dub itself but for story consistency too is such a terrible sin of mine.

Now I'd like to see Hyde, Gord, Linne, and Wald with English voices. Is it possible?

They were wanting to do it, but only if there's enough demand. Ironically, they just ignored it.

It would seem that this dub is supposed to be for everyone, but there is no hard confirmation.
 
Jutsei said:
Hey Arcsys you got like half the cast for BBCF in there, why don't you just get to making that dub DLC Now
If only.

Maybe now that Arc has got those piles of DBFZ cash. Probably not though. :/
 
It'll probably happen when Team Blue makes the next iteration of mainline BB. But that might not be for a while.
 
I'm still shocked people give a shit about the dub for BBCF... it's not like rev 2 has the dub in it either yet I've never seen someone complain about it outside of jokingly.
 
Because the dub for Guilty Gear was subpar, and the decision for it to be gone wasn't entirely out of the question
Blazblue had a dub since the very first game, and even the subgames with the side stories had English dub.
For the last game in Ragna's story to NOT have a dub felt like a slap in the face to the people who used the Dub since Calamity Trigger.

I agree with Jutsei, it was a real bummer for a game that always had a dub have no dub for an important benchmark story. Also, the BB characters are more talky during their fights than GG.

My thoughts exactly. So many people was with the game and gave it soul, only to be denied the curtain call? Dick move really.

So we got orientation plat and kanji-kun coming in first wave. They will also be free if for early buyers, so like the persona characters I believe they are week 1 Free LC. 3 packs of characters are 600 yen, while the everyone pack is 2400 yen. 2400 yen is roughly $22, while the 3 pack is about $6

Yes ARC.

Reinforce the feeling you are selling half a game by advertising ready characters as DLC 4 months before the game comes out.

Even with that pricing this just leaves bad taste in mouth.

Pretty sure EVO is the cause for this, but since the price rounds up to nothing obscene and the fact that We should be able to get everyone in a decent time frame softens the blow.
 
ArcSys should learn what Early Access is, but then, EVO still might not like that.

It is sad that it's likely being released as it is for EVO as marketing.

Tekken 7 got two whole years of Early Access at Evo.
