BlazBlue: Difference between revisions

A spin-off [[Visual Novel]] named ''[[XBlaze Code: Embryo]]'' was released in 2014, telling a story set 150 years before ''Calamity Trigger''. The game was followed by ''[[XBlaze Lost: Memories]]'' in 2015.

 

 

A sequel, entitled ''BlazBlue Phase Shift'', was released in April 2011. This time the focus shifts to Yuuki Terumi, while also elaborating more on Nine and Trinity before she became Platinum.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Go read the [[Black and Gray Morality]] entry, come back and see if you want to say otherwise...

* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: If you came here from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'', pressing all four face buttons sets up an Instant Kill. Try that here and you get the defense-lowering (at least in ''Calamity Trigger'') Barrier Burst instead.

* [[Devil but No God]]: Terumi is the closest you can get for a [[Satan]] [[Expy]] who's pretty active in ruining everyone's lives. A benevolent God? Don't even think about it (Takamagahara is quite the [[Jerkass God]]).

* [[Divine Chessboard]]: Everyone seems controlled by Jubei, and Rachel on the protagonists' side. Just about everything else in the story is being controlled by {{spoiler|Hazama and Relius}}.

* [[Dramatic Irony]]: Goes a lot, especially in Continuum Shift. For instance, {{spoiler|Carl gets calmed down and regained his trust on adults thanks to Litchi... not knowing that Litchi is on NOL's side and sided with Relius... WITHOUT knowing the reasons of her doing so. And on the other hand, Litchi didn't know there's a certain Boundary-rending Nox Nyctores called "Phoenix Rettenjou" which may be the key to her problems... and it's in Bang's possession, and he wasn't even aware at first. Bang was at least told about its function by Platinum eventually... and then he doesn't even know Litchi's problems.}} All these information were known by the audience, leading to things from speculations, assumptions, etc.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: Easily one of the most screwed up casts of fighters ever.

{{quote|'''Ragna:''' Dear god, why me? Why do I always seem to attract the who's who of mental illness...?}}

* [[Engrish]]: For whatever reason, none of the announcers, default or DLC, were dubbed into English. This gives us gems such as "LOOK AT TIME",<ref>When the timer reaches 10 seconds</ref> "Caruru Crowbar",<ref>Carl Clover</ref> "Air-a-koo-nay",<ref>Arakune</ref> "REEBOO"<ref>Rebel</ref> and many, many more.

** Relius' puppet Detonator: Ignis. Same deal with Carl, except ''he'' isn't screwed up by it.

* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: The game has quite a stellar voice cast which includes [[Tomokazu Sugita]] ([[Haruhi Suzumiya|Kyon]]), [[Tetsuya Kakihara]] ([[Gurren Lagann|Simon]]), Kenji Nomura ([[Bleach|Yammy]]), [[Kana Ueda]] ([[Fate/stay night|Rin Tohsaka]]) and many more.

* [[Never the Selves Shall Meet]]: Whether it's the truth or just Hazama messing with her head, it's implied that {{spoiler|[[Temporal Paradox|Noel does not, and is not suppose to exist in the world.]]}} In Lamda-11's story, V-11 briefly makes physical contact with her, who starts remembering everything that has happened to her in the past. That's a very bad thing.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: SCORE ATTACK MODE. To elaborate, you must face 10 opponents on a single continue, with the last 4 being [[Deadly Upgrade|"Unlimited"]] characters. Oh, and did I mention that the [[Up to Eleven|difficulty is even higher than the hardest selectable difficulty in the game?]] Even if you have a 2P controller to buzz in when you're low on health and save you from certain death, you might not survive this without having an aneurysm.
