Why am I being cucked for a new BlazBlue? We've waited long enough. You've given the Guilty Gear lettuces everything they want, and we get a roguelite. Ok.

[Unlucky Genius]

With Mori gone from Arcsys, I think Blazblue should be left alone unless he's able to acquire the IP from Arcsys. However, this is a spin-off from a different studio that I believe was in development before well Mori left. I think releasing this is fine because of those factors, and since it looks fun and I love Blazblue, I'll probably still get it.

No thanks!

Agreed, I tried pretty hard to enjoy Strive, but I can't. I really don't want Blazblue Strive to become a reality in the future. Hopefully with Mori gone Arcsys will leave Blazblue alone after this, or better yet sell the IP to Mori at a reasonable price.

Modern ArcSys could not make a good new BlazBlue game if their live depended on it. Mori has left the company and these sell-outs generally went into the direction of dumbing down their fighting games. If they make a new BlazBlue, it's going to be like Strive, so no. Eff that.

LOL. If anything, Strive is exactly the OPPOSITE we GG fans want.

It's still much better than the 'Strive' treatment.

At least the gameplay of said roguelite still has the fast pace combat and *adds* some fancy movements instead of butchering returning characters like 'Strive' does.

Based. In terms of the *new* persona fighting game that got leaked in July, P4U was my favorite game and I hate to see that another gorgeous 2D air-dasher series getting castrated like guilty gear.

Kamone is the GOAT. He really knows what he's doing and loves his own game. You know the new Uni is in good hand when you see him beating everyone with solid combos and gameplan, using random selected character on the showcase stream.

I, for one, am interested in Arc Sys going back to a Guilty Gear Judgement-esque concept for Blazblue. I just like the idea of translating of a fighting game into an action game/beat em up setting.

Judgement and Izuka did a pretty decent job being Beat 'em Ups under the GG brand.
Izuka was... tough to play outside of that though.

BlazBlue is cringe, GuiltyGear is based.

Simple as.

Because the CEO of Arc System Works on April 2023 said in an Interview with IGN that they don't want BlazBlue to clash with Guilty Gear (both their IPs) in the fighting game market. Therefore, they're focusing all their efforts on one franchise at a time, so there is a possibility that BlazBlue may get a new fighting game after Strive ends its content support or near its end, but we would have to wait and see. We don't know when that will come, but definitely not until 2025 at the minimum since they just launched a 3rd Season Pass [2023 & 2024] for Strive starting August 24th with Johnny.

Entropy Effect has nothing to do with Arc System Works other than granting a license to the IP for 91Act so they can experiment with the franchise more and bring new BlazBlue games like this one (they also made BlazBlue RR for smartphones) while Arc System Works continues to put its focus on Guilty Gear Strive and any other fighters they have been commissioned for.

BlazBlue proper ended with the best game in the series (Centralfiction), Guilty Gear will end with the worst game in the series (Strive).

Imagine how bad it is for all 1 of us Chaos Code fans...

Keep it 2d and sprite based or just don't touch it at all. I'd rather them give the IP to a company like French Bread to make something close to what Mori's team did

So much this.

Hey, at least the next game was actually revived and it's very likely that will eventually arrive on Steam... I a loooooooot of years, but at least it will happen

Ah yes a game where your DP can be thrown is based while a game where your execution is rewarded is cringe

Literally the reason you all got called lettuces.

Why are we arguing over whether BB or GG is better, they're both good but VERY DIFFERENT games from one another. Comparing them directly is like comparing DBFZ to Street Fighter. There's no point.

As for what the thread was actually about: I think we're probably not gonna get a new BlazBlue anytime soon. If we do, then idk if it'll be 2D. I really hope it is but ArcSys hasn't made a 2D game in a while. Personally I think it's kinda cool that they've found some new uses for their sprites in spin-off games in other genres. Maybe in the future we'll see some other games like this.

Mori left ArcSys, though he seems to be plotting his own legally distinct BlazBlue to be released in the future. Y'all seem to think that ArcSys making a new BlazBlue would be a problem because you want it to stay all hardcore, and you think ArcSys would go against Mori's vision, making the game appeal to a wider audience.

While I don't think ArcSys will make a new BlazBlue in the near future. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Mori has always been about appealing to a wider audience. Every single BlazBlue game has had controversy over it's lenient input system being made more and more lenient. If BlazBlue continued with Mori, he would've absolutely gone down a similar path to Guilty Gear -Stive-
