New OP “Hakira no Sora e Sasoedo” by KOTOKO
As for me, I’m hyped to finally have BBCS hit the console this summer. However, for it to be fully priced and not DLC is a bit of a shame. Though a DLC would probably be priced about the same as a stand-alone retail game anyway, considering all the content and balancing the game has underwent. Then again, for the developers to only add three new characters feels a bit of a letdown to be honest. Well, we’ll see how it all works out in the end.

I really want to see that Noel Nendoroid.
well, better 3 new characters than none right?
And there aren´t that many more that they can add? Not from what I could see from the first game. Hazama and Tsubaki are two of the ones shown, only one left out was basically the master swordsman and Kokonoe, Tager´s boss.
Otherwise I think we´ve seen them all?
Anyway, it´s good to know that it will finally be starting to ship. I wonder if that Noel Nendroid will follow if/when the US version is released?
I dunno about you guys….but I'm pretty angry that Continuum Shift isn't gonna be dlc. I mean…..what about the players who just shelled out so much for the regular version, let alone the limited edition of calamity trigger.
First Street Fighter IV, and now blazblue…..I'm starting to get angry at all the developers. I mean…..I think I got all 4 versions of Guilty Gear XX on the ps2, and there are about 8 of them, including the psp ports that come with just….the tiniest bit of extra content.
For only 3 characters, it just doesn't justify a full fledged price of 7140 yen (around 86 us!)…..even if they put in a new KOTOKO song, and 3 new modes with a couple of story enhancements. This sounds so convienient for dlc!!! And with the prospect of the online network on psn/360…..you'd think developers would go and take full advantage of it.
**sigh** I'm just ranting here…..srry guys…..I'll probably stick to calamity trigger for years to come until a price drop is made =_=….
……I was really looking forward to seeing Mu-12 too…..
yes… you're being a little b!tch about it >>'
i mean come on its a completely new game with a new title…how is the dlc going to make CT into CS? when taken to a friend who doesnt have lives house itll be like” well it was contuum shift”
when you KNOW how to make a DLC or a game for that matter of your own…thats when you have the right to get all emotional
when i read what you said it just pissed me off
i gotta pay for it too and you dont see me complaining…get a job…im 15 and i can do it

Well, I would have very much liked it if they would have added Makoto, Noel's squirrel-girl friend as a playable character. In the first game, there is even an indication that there is a “weapon” in her tail. Hidden. So I was hoping and expecting to see her, but mostly I'm just happy that there IS a sequel so soon. Maybe Jin will stop being a freak and notice that Noel wants him? Who knows?!
Is she fully trained? If so then she would have been pretty nice to have as well. Then the whole class would be together.
Noel wants Jin? Sure I haven´t played trough all of storymode but where does that stand out?
The easiest “romance” to spot is between Jin and Ragna with Jin wanting Ragna dead over and over again :p
But for some odd reason I just find his maniac laughter so fascinating.
