For those who are asking, there are no plans to do a LE this time around for #BBCPEX. As for the JP version bonuses; no idea.

Well this sucks, I really wanted a LE; since I missed out on the last one for Chrono Phantasma ._.

Hopefully the Pre-order bonuses are good, but who knows if it'll be just like the JP first shipment Bonuses.

Awesome!! I'll try to pick this up as well.

[Viscera1900]

Excellent! I might have to import this again though. Planning to get this on PS4 or Vita...

[Satoshi Ookami]

Well, nothing really surprising here.

BB is almost as Persona, almost anything will eventually be localized =)

[AuzzieWingman]

That's nice.

 

 

When's Xrd?

So from this Article published today, Extend will also have:

1. Replay saving enabled for offline matches
2. By the looks of it, we'll finally get to see how Roy becomes Arakune through Kokonoe's experiment, within her story mode(Might even get a more detailed dialogue as to how Litchi Faye Ling decided to defect from Sector 7 too).
3. Tager confrontation with Azrael.

I don't know why but I've been very interested in seeing how Roy becomes Arakune(since I first heard about his background), I feel like he might end up playing a big role just like bang surprisingly did carrying the Rettenjo needed for the Kushinada's Lynchpin.

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasm Extend has additional playable characters from the arcade game plus new storylines to see. One follows the brilliant and foul-mouthed scientist Kokonoe.

 

This story takes place during the Second War of Ars Magus and players will see how Roy becomes Arakune. Kokonoe’s scenario will also have details about the battle between Tager and Azrael who was sent to capture the two after they were deemed to be traitors.

 

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasm Extend also has an upgraded replay saving feature. Players will be able to save replays of offline matches, so if you invite a friend over and have an intense fight you can save that match too.

 

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasm Extend comes out in Japan on April 23 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita (the Vita version has some differences). Aksys will bring BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasm Extend to North America this summer.
