I’m not sure if I’ve actually said it on the site but I’m a fan of Blazblue, despite not really being a fighting game player (weird, I know). The story was the reason I got into the game, and I’ve played through every game except CSII (but I don’t think I missed anything important anyway). Then again, towards the end of Continuum Shift the story started to feel pretty convoluted & confusing with so much info about crap being thrown at me so fast, but maybe that was more because I tried to play through everyone’s story modes in one-go, then finally took a break when I got to Hakumen who I think was 4th from the end. I forget who the other 2 after that was but I know Hazama was last, which was good since I didn’t have to fight him again for the 15th time in a row. Anyway, Chrono Phantasma came out a long while ago in Japan and people have been importing it but not me since I speak English & can’t read half the sh
it on screen, but a lot of tracks have been remixed, so I figured I may as well talk about some of them cause this topic is a blog. Would be great if they weren’t getting taken off Youtube every few hours though.
Ragna – Rebellion 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= sqww7ryEg-o – Maybe I’ve just heard the original too much but it’s hard to notice a big change other than the part before the section towards the end
Jin – Lust Sin 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= xhpCPzIqPD4 – Like it more, the buildup helps too.
Noel – Bullet Dance 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Y8V55Ymi1MA – I liked the first better, the remix seems all over the place.
Rachel – Queen of Rose 2 – Loved it. Already loved the first version but this fits a little more, except the bit towards the end which they changed greatly, it was much better in the first.
Hakumen – Susanoo 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= mDMndrmfyUY – Like the first better. This one feels toned down.
Tsubaki – Condemnation Wings 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= O0uVRyp03Pc - Already liked it more just from the beginning.
Makoto – Alexandrite 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 2mpFzV3q17c – Liked the first better. That’s it.
Carl – Marionette Purple 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= zQvwgFOPyak – Liked the first better, this one’s still good though.
Arakune – Thin Red Line 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= OWFF6hSRy10 – Just seems a little sped up & I don’t know why they removed the beginning section. I like both in their own ways.
Valkenhayn – Howling Moon 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= wQ3wFFPsGBE – Sounds even more like a theme from Castlevania, not that that’s bad.
Platinum the Trinity – Active Angel 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= qAonIgYG5fw – The first already sounded like it wouldn’t seem out of place as the theme for Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure, this one more so. I like the first better though; the remix removed some bits I liked.
Mu-12 - Sword of Doom 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= wb3yUbQ8ccE – Like the first better honestly, don’t like that they took out the beginning build-up too, it was good to have there (and not just because it felt fitting when fighting her at the end of abyss mode)
V-13 – Awakening the Chaos 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= wunwZUftbNI – Like the remix a little better though I already loved the original, that added choir near the end helped too.
Relius Clover – Plastic Night 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= _5sOyuKI4Z0 – The beginning is so different that it doesn’t feel like a remix, like the theme better though.
Hazama – Gluttony Fang 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 1Jtw243bZUU – Love it. Then again, beyond the beginning section & the “chorus”, I didn’t care much for the original theme. Yeah, I said it.
Unlimited Hazama – Endless Despair 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 4xgiFKm-bpk – Love it more than the original, especially the beginning section that seems more 8-bit.
Azrael – The Tyrant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= b-A0GjNlUxs – wuz gud
Amane – God of Dance/BUSHIN/Whatevs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= ZfDuAFFDPGo – I’m surprised I liked this one as much as I did.
Bullet – Spirit of Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 4vooDKFHcH0 – Love it. I must also be one of the only people who doesn’t care for the beginning bit.
Kagura – Black Agression
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 5MygRB6bjrw - #PiratesoftheCaribbean, it’s aight.
Ragna vs Jin – Under Heaven Destruction 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= upDv7UXqs2A – Better. That’s it.
Jin vs Noel – Imperial Code 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= -lbXm1kR5Zk – Better. Also good that they sped up the intro, was pretty long in the original, chorus was better in the first though.
Ragna vs Rachel – White Requiem 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= OP6xBv_xNao – Think the first is better, they removed the organ. Unforgivable.
Relius vs Valkenhayn – I have no idea what it’s called
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= hzc7hJ2MJ7s – Didn’t think too much of it at first but it really grew on me.
Carl vs Relius – X-Matic 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= zQzfeFQ2zAQ – Love the sh
it out of it. It’s really just the original sped up and that’s good enough.
Ragna vs Hazama – Nightmare Fiction 2 (good luck even finding it but just watch this if you want
http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=tD0Nn4Qzg8s) – Original was better. That’s it.
I expect half the links here to be deleted within a day.
