Opening needs to be posted again for reasons.

This is getting it's own thread as I feel this game will have more interest right now. BlazBlue Series can be on the side for now.

Being announced during EVO last year, fans of fighting games, BlazBlue, Persona 4: Arena, Under Night In-Birth and RWBY rejoiced over the crossover. I did too. Despite the early controversy of the paid 20 DLC characters, and slight save on dealing with that, CTB has done well so far for reception. There is news I have recently though, that may bring further interest. There has been talks of a Season 2 DLC. On Arc System's Live Event on June 7th, there was a question about any more characters than the 40 we have been promised so far. The president of Arc System Works Minoru Kidooka was there, and answered with a yes, it's a possibility. ALSO, the producer Mori, recently expressed interest in an interview via Forbes in having Nier's 2B and 9S in the roster. 

Quote:“Hey, we should release 2B and 9S on BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. Yeah, that would be good. I would want to play that. Should I ask them? Haha.”

Also, video from Koefficient where I found out about the possibility of more characters, plus more stuff he knows about I haven't mentioned here as they aren't definite.

AS WELL AS: June 19th is the release date for DLC Packs 2 (Carmine, Aegis, Jubei),  3 (Hakumen, Naoto, Vatista), and Yang.

Anyway, who here's interested in the game? Now being available to buy, is the game an option?
I'm more than slightly interested on the game and would likely get it as soon as that becomes an option (either thru upgrading of my system or from getting another one).

It's the RWBY characters that do it for me. I love the series.

(Under Night In-Birth also intrigues me very much indeed).
As Tekken and BlazBlue are my main fighting games, and Tekken has had two (three if you count SFxT) tag team games, I always a BlazBlue team game. I originally thought they would go with a BlazBlue and Guilty Gear game, but when Guilty Gear entered a 3D 2D style, I doubted it. Then came EVO last year, and I was happy seeing Persona and Under Night joining. RWBY was icing on the cake. Was mental seeing all of them come together.

Probably the most likely new video game I desire right now. UK's got until 22nd (30th if I go by Rice Digital...what are you doing RD?!). I haven't pre-ordered yet though.

Hazama will be on my team, or one of the teams I use. Him being my main in the other BlazBlue games, I can't give up on him. Interested in trying the RWBY characters. Ragna, Jin, Noel, Makoto, at least one Persona and one Under Night too but haven't decided. Possibly Gordeau, but he's proved to be a more used character so far. I try not to use them.
