A new BlazBlue is on its way!  Arc System Works is keeping themselves busy announcing a new BlazBlue while launching Persona 4 Arena just yesterday for the PS3 and Xbox 360.  Chrono Phantasma will be a new chapter to the BlazBlue series rather than an add-on (much like Continuum Shift 2 and Extend were) with redone sprite work, three new characters, and some new mechanics.  BlazBlue is a 2D Fighter with very unique play styles to each individual character, an incredibly in-depth story, and the genius work of Daisuke Ishiwatari on composing the music.  Fighting games has changed quite a bit throughout the decade, and BlazBlue takes traditional mechanics mixed with new ones to create a game that's easy for anyone to pick up but make it so detailed and in-depth that it's viable for the most competitive players.  For one, it's a lot easier to perform combos and specials compared to other fighting games, and those who want a bit more than just the combat aspect will enjoy the story mode.  The music is what got me interested in BlazBlue as well as its style of art, but it's the characters and story that got me hooked to the game.  The story ranges from humor, to drama, to action, to some of the most emotional scenes in a fighting game.  A lot of the writing is better than what you'll experience in RPGs.  BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma should hit Japanese Arcades this Winter and come out for consoles sometime next year.
