"The collision is inevitable. The impact will be unavoidable." Welcome to BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, in where 4 franchises (BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, RWBY) fight for the mysterious keystones to find a way back into their own worlds. 3 additional franchises (Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura, Akatsuki Blitzkampf) have since joined the fray.

1. Bundles

Prices will vary by regions. Sales will happen on BBTAG once in a while.

A. Basic Edition ($30), contains just the base game itself, no paid DLC, Blake/Yang included. Base roster of 22 characters.

B. Special Edition ($50), contains the game and all DLC so far (Char Packs 1-7 and colors 14-16) along with the 2.0 content pack (9 additional characters, colors 17-20, and Episode Extra). For a roster of 53 characters.

2. Unlockables

Here are the current set of unlockables from buying in the "Item Shop". All items can be unlocked with the in-game Platinum Dollar currency (you start with 20K, you earn P$ by playing various game modes, also, be on the lookout for Mr.Tartar in the Entrance as he'll give you a random amount of P$).

Music Track: "SYSTEM" is unlocked after clearing the "Ending 4" route in the Blazblue story in Episode mode.

Character Avatars: 25K P$ per character. (You start with Ragna by default.)

Colors 9-13: 10K P$ per character. (Colors 14-16 are DLC, however. Colors 17-20 are included in the 2.0 content pack.)

Icons: 500 P$ each.

Character plates and borders: 5K P$ each. (One for each franchise.)

Titles: Unlocked by satisfying various conditions. (Examples: Win/play with various teams, perform various actions, play certain amount of online matches.)

In order to use said unlockables after buying/earning, head out to "Customize" and assign them any way you wish.

3. Misc

Will there be a demo for the Steam Version?: Shini and ASW-U has said this plenty, but no, due to obvious reasons.

What languages will the game be in the Steam Version?: From mentioned in the store page, English, Japanese, Korean, and both Simplified/Traditional Chinese. Multi-5 (with Spanish/German/Italian/French) has since been added from a later update.

Is the game cross-play compatible?: While the game does have "cross" in its name, however, its not going to be cross-play compatible for all 3 systems. Shini has mentioned before that they would like to achieve this one day sometime in the future.

DLC Roundtable:
REMINDER: Blake and Yang are induced into your purchase of either the Basic/Deluxe/Special edition.

-Blake Belladonna
-Yang Xiao Long
-Character Pack 1 (Platinum, Kanji, Orie)
-Character Pack 2 (Jubei, Aegis, Carmine)
-Character Pack 3 (Hakumen, Naoto Shirogane, Vatista)
-Character Pack 4 (Izayoi, Mitsuru, Merkava)
-Character Pack 5 (Mai, Akihiko, Yuzuriha)
-Character Pack 6 (Nine, Labrys, Mika)
-Character Pack 7 (Naoto Kurogane, Teddie, Seth, Heart)
-Colors 14, 15, and 16. (Individually priced, universal colors for all characters.)
-2.0 Content Pack (Celica/Susanoo, Elizabeth/Adachi, Hilda, Neo Politan, Yumi, Akatsuki/Blitztank + Episode Extra + Colors 17-20)

DLC character packs are $5 each, but the complete DLC bundle of 24 (either getting the Deluxe edition or the DLC bundle) will cost $20 (Savings of $10 buying the packs separately.) Colors 14-16 are $3 individually (but included in Special Edition). Colors 17-20 however are included in the 2.0 content pack. The 2.0 content pack will cost $25.

Wired Vs Wireless (Wi-Fi)?: For best optimal performance and lagless matches in the online modes, use a wired connection, using wireless is somewhat frowned upon the FGC. However, your mileage may vary using Wi-Fi connections to fight.

If I have bought the Deluxe Edition or the DLC character bundle previously before version 2.0/SE, do I get the 2.0 content pack free?: Simply...No! That is sold seperately.

If there's anything that is needed to be added to this FAQ, let me know and I'll update the post, but at the moment, this seems to be mostly complete for now.

That is correct, you have but a month to buy the game with the bonuses.

[mbtk | you are an idiot]

It was said Blake&Yang would be forever free but for some reason not only Blake is not, the DLC is notably more expensive than others https://i.imgur.com/QpsTTbY.png

[Shini]

Blake is already included when you purchase the game.
That price is indicating the All-in-One pack.

Blake is listed as 20$ and 2/3 things suggest its blake other than an all character pass.

FYI, colors were never advertised or included as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition, so you're complaining over nothing. Colors were probably a last minute thing.

How big is the download size?

It says 20GB in store page, however, the initial DL is 11.6 GB.

Also guys, please read the first post before mentioning stuff I already covered above. Some people probably miss it and post a question here I've already answered.

No idea at the moment. Anyways, FAQ updated with more clarity on stuff. Mentioning the inclusion that Blake/Yang will be included if you buy either version of the game on steam. They'll be on the DLC section of your steam client ASAP.
