Blazblue

It's funny because Mori explicitly said in an interview that they wouldn't be selling characters as DLC this time. Suppose he got overruled though. Keep in mind Terumi is paid-DLC too if you don't pre-order, so be careful about that if you want him.

Since they sold Platinum for full price even when she was over a year late to the game, I'd expect what pie posted to be the baseline price, yeah.

I'm more curious as to what happens to Terumi when he gets hit by Amane's Astral.
I swear to God this time we better get a sprite of his ghost form.

From the BB wiki:

A sort of cuter version of his ghost form.

So there's that. I haven't seen footage/picture of it yet.

Here's some colour palettes for Terumi, Kokonoe, and Kagura.
 
I'm kind of hoping for one of Kokonoe's pallets to be based off of Crow from Guilty Gear and a Jubei based palette.
 
eventually someone has to create a "dlc fiscalisation board". there's no reason other than money grabbing to make kokonoe a DLC char. she's already done dammit!

that's almost as bad as the SFxT fiasco
 
This is bullshit! Terumi is available as pre-order DLC and isn't Kagura unlockable by getting the True Ending or something? Isn't Kokonoe already finished? I won't be preordering the game. I'll just wait and check out reviews from people who have preordered it. People are already making jokes like "I'll wait for Blazblue Chrono Phantasma II Extend". I'm just hoping Kokonoe and other DLC characters aren't on disc like in SFxT.
 
I'll probably be using that black and blue Kokonoe color all the time.

I can already see Kagura being on the store too for anyone too lazy to unlock him. They did that for Mu on Continuum Shift (and also sold the unlimited version of characters for 0.99 when you could buy them with the money you earned in game for doing things like beating arcade more.)

As for Kokonoe, they probably made her DLC because she's probably the most demanded character to add to the roster that I've seen. Lots of people want her so they will make a lot of money to have her as DLC.

Ether that or the franchise has gone stale like Valkenhayn said in his Help Me Professor Kokonoe segment.
 
Hey, no bad feelings to people who do give Arcsys their money for it, lol. If it's worth it to you, go for it, she does look pretty awesome.

I just lost a lot of faith in supporting their DLC practices after they burned me on Platinum so bad. She was the one I wanted to main day one and they withheld her for over a year after she was done just to milk arcade/Vita exclusivity money. No one I knew was even still playing at that point when Arcsys had the nerve to charge full price for her. :P

So to this day I've never actually gotten to play as her. CP is going to be my first. I ended up maining Makoto and Mu instead, which was fun, but just not the same. But I promised myself Arcsys DLC was never getting a dime from me again. ^^;

It's a principle thing for me, no matter how much I like the character they finished and still sell separately.

Just like how I'm never buying a Capcom game 100% new ever again.
 
I'd say if you actively play the title and have plenty of buds who do as well as long as it doesn't hurt you to get the character AND you want them it may be shit business practice but you don't get to make arcs decisions. The masses do. You'd be far better off not worrying about it on a home which will likely shop for 40 USD and the 2-5 dollar dlc bumps it to a full price thing.

Arcs way of getting full price from fans and less from the casual crowd?
 
i'd totally get the next BB if, y'know, it was gonna be out on x360.

maybe it'll get released on my only console when it gets turned into BB Chronophantasma Extend Accent Slash #Reload +R Super Turbo: Overture Love Max

It's because Japan has nothing but contempt for the Xbox 360
One of the main reasons I like Skullgirls so much.

Or Arc could make some PC ports on Steam. I think it worked out for SNK pretty well, didn't it?

Didn't they port Calamity Trigger to PC when Continuum Shift was released on consoles?

Arc has ported GGX, #R and BBCT to PC

nothing recent as far as I know
 
guess what time it is!

Today's episode was . . . interesting. They basically tried to wrap up CT and we're gonna start CS next episode.

Also Hakumen has SICK WALL STICK COMBOS.

Mori used up the whole animation budget on Bolverk.
 
Yeah that scene with Bolverk was hype but.... uh the fight.

Also damn, CT finished in like 40 minutes.... CT reconstruction took me like 3 hours. Maybe they will go going over the other characters in the next episodes (hopefully without making it look like filler).
 
The Classic Noel is $4 DLC, it is worth mentioning, since the source didn't know the price. Kokonoe and Non-Preordered Terumi are $8 each.

Kagura is the only one unlockable in story mode, unless you drop $2.50 to get him early. "No character DLC" Mori was pretty much a complete liar, lol.

At least the new boss looks pretty neat and explains why CP didn't have one announced for in-game playable, lol.
 
This is fucking stupid. I better hope they didn't lock DLC characters on Disc or is there a way for hackers to check that on a PS3 disc? I only have like 500 yen on my Japanese PSN account. Oh well. If I can't play Kokonoe, then I am still interested in Bullet, Azrael, Hakumen, Litchi, Lambda/Nu and maybe I'll try out Bang.
 
I don't normally get pissed at on disc dlc, but if its like a new costume and they charge like 15bucks for it or something dumb like that cuse then yeah that's annoying honestly unless it's a whole new mode or character I don't normally like to get dlc.
 
Jutsei said:
I must be the only one in the world who doesn't get pissed off at on-disc DLC.
I don't really care. I mean, I'll get them if I want them.

You're not, and I don't blame you, but I find it pretty sleazy and scumbag personally. Especially because it's on-disc because that's already finished content.

It's one thing to use DLC to pad the life of a game, it's another to try and sell you a third of the new content separately. I paid them $40-60 already for their game - I'm not interested in being nickel-and-dimed out of half of the content that they already finished making four months ago.

If you don't mind, you don't mind. :P But you can't speak with your wallet without, well, speaking with your wallet. Or saying that's why you're not paying.

I'm just surprised you don't think it's sleazy to sell actually copy-pasted content for $4. It's not even redrawn Noel with new animations - it's literally selling you her CS sprite. You don't have to buy it, sure, but it takes some serious nerve to even try to sell it.
 
I don't really care, that's the thing. >_>
I mean if I want to see her old Arcade Story and use her old moveset, that's cheaper than a new character at least.
So not like it matters

Then I'd be happy to sell you this used sandwich for $1 instead of a new one for $4. I was finished with it any way and it's optional. :P

I just don't think "you can choose not to buy it" makes them less sleazy for trying to do it. Your mileage varies, obviously, and if you don't care, I'm not going to make you care. You can give them more money for what should be (and probably is) in the game already as much as you like.

Scumbag Aksys to me though.

On a more amusing note:

Alter Memory is the gift that keeps on giving.
 
/Eyeroll

I'm still weirded out by some of these trophies.
Especially the Amane one.
I really don't know if they're taking that Pedo Amane joke and running with it or not or if this was always intended.
 
I meant games in general, not noel's honestly I would get that if I played her, heck I might regardless cuse price wise it's fine and I feel its worth it, but if it cost like 15-20 sorry but thats pushing it for me.
 
I don't care about Noel's old Sprite. The game is only coming out this week and they already showed DLC characters weeks ago. I'm glad Kagura is unlockable, but why buy Kokonoe and Terumi separately? I don't mind DLC that is released months later to pad out the game like how SunnyRei noted, but not when it's released so soon after the game's release.
 
I just found the console opening
 
Still not as good as the CSII opening, but it will do.

And now, to try and figure out which section of the music will be used for Astrals.
 
So Alter Memories.... Damn those are there some good faces that need to get gifs. Also, seems as though the pace is slowing down and I'm liking it.

As for the DLC stuff, I don't really mind if it's on disk or not and they're about the same price and Val, Makoto and Platinum when they were released so I'm just happy that there was no increase. And the DLC stuff was probably ASW's wanting instead of Mori's (or he's just being a troll, the usual).

This next on Alter Memories:

- I didn't expect the Clovers to show up this early.
- Terumi troll faces EVERYWHERE
- Random Makoto!
- Ends with the CT stinger of Tsubaki getting her orders to put on her silly eye hat.
 
Random notes for no important reason.

- Like classic noel a tad more than the new one: the beret reminds me of jill valentine
- Will wait for the first revision (with all the DLCs and probably full saga story mode) to come.
- Don't know if that 900 frames combo limit still exists. if it does, it'll be the first thing to be nuked in the next version
- if it goes out on steam i'll preorder it with no regrets in my heart.
