BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger: Difference between revisions

'''''[[Blaz Blue]]: Calamity Trigger''''' is the first game of the ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' series, created by [[Arc System Works]], later followed by ''[[Blaz Blue Continuum Shift (Video Game)|Blaz Blue Continuum Shift]]''.

Long ago, a terrible monster called [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|"The Black Beast"]] appeared and began destroying everything in its path, spreading [[Mana|a toxic substance called "seithr"]] across the planet and threatening to cause [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]. Humanity was on the verge of extinction when a group known as the Six Heroes arose and developed weapons to fight the Black Beast: the "[[Sufficiently Analyzed Magic|Armagus]]", an artificial form of magic powered by seithr that anyone could use. With humanity empowered by the Armagus, the Black Beast was defeated and the Six Heroes disappeared into history. This event became known as the "First War of Magic".

Humanity began reconstruction in low-seithr areas and formed the [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign|Novus Orbis Librarium]] <ref> "New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau"</ref> (otherwise known as the N.O.L. or "The Library") to govern the world and the grimoires that controlled the Armagus. However, the N.O.L. quickly grew into [[The Empire]] and [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|began to abuse their power]], aiming to create a hostile monopoly on the Armagus grimoires. A [[La Résistance|resistance movement]] attempted to rebel against the N.O.L's growing power in an event known as the Ikaruga Civil War, but were defeated. As a result, the N.O.L. imposed even harsher restrictions on the Armagus, making Armagus possession (outside of the N.O.L's own members) punishable by execution without trial.

The Arcade version of ''Calamity Trigger'' was released on November 20, 2008, and console ports for the [[PSPlay Station 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] were released on June 30, 2009. The console version included online play, a new Story Mode that is set up somewhat like a [[Visual Novel]], a new anime opening by J-Pop artist Kotoko as well as several new anime cutscenes, English voice acting, and much, much more. Console releases are sold in retail and premium editions which include a combo DVD, an artbook (several of these are now backordered, unfortunately), and a limited edition soundtrack, which includes every song in the game except for the main theme and the two extra songs for certain characters, and instead replaces them with remixes by rap artist Oh No. The European version was released much, much later. April 2 2010, to be specific. As compensation, [[Regional Bonus|it has all the DLC included for free]].
