Well to be honest, it happened pretty quickly than I expected. But Central Fiction as a Title is horrible for me.

I'm glad that Hibiki and the guy from Bloodedge Experience are playables. Now I want Jubei and the "JoanyActuallyaGuy" spoiler[Mai Natsume.

Well, Terumi is alive again as it seems... Need a perfect excuse aside of popularity.

Nine playable as Phantom?!]

What is Bloodedge Experience? some sort of alternate timeline in the Blazblue universe?

Also, Terumi being alive is a big issue so I'm guessing this combined with the presence of another Azure means that we get more timeline warping.

Really disappointed that Arcsys didn't go with the Unreal Engine for Blazblue: Central Fiction. They HAD to do something new with Blazblue in order to keep it fresh like Guilty Gear. I'll still be getting Central Fiction but it's still a shame that they're not progressing the series in any way besides adding "new" characters.

This seems like a really quick release and an unusually short life for CPE. I haven't even picked up CPE yet; suppose I'll just wait for this.

We don't know how long it will be before Central Friction comes out

it's only getting Jp location tests now so it could be a year or two before it comes stateside

It was almost a year between the original arcade release and the console release. Heck, they revealed CP a year before its arcade release

This is it! The final 20%. Unfortunately., this is the most unappealing BB title in the series, especially after the epic title "CP."

"Central Friction" sounds like an even worse name than "Central Fiction."

Meh, I never truly believed that spoiler[Terumi died]. He's the main villain, and it's an anime convention that 1. spoiler[characters died but never really died (especially major characters)] and 2. spoiler[a character can't be counted as dead unless they actually show him/her being ripped apart or explicitly being killed (and even then)].

At the end of CP, spoiler[Hakumen slays Terumi but we never actually get any visual confirmation of his death by way of a graphic for the event or anything like that. In fact, the death scene felt pretty anti-climactic, almost clearly announcing that Terumi would appear again]. It's also very unlikely for such an anime-style game that spoiler[Terumi would be truly finished by anyone ] other than the lead hero (here, Ragna the Bloodedge).

So no hype for Naoto? lol I mean I know he's a Bloodedge wanna be, but we already have one Bloodedge that is OP so we can kinda see that Naoto is going to be one badass character with his Bloodedge abilities. Of course he's got nothing on Ragna but yeah lol
