BlazBlue:Central Fiction REVIEW:BlazBlue: Central Fiction isthe seventh installment of the series. Ever since BlazBlue's 2008 debut in arcades (2009 on consoles), ArcSystem Works certainly tried their darndest to keep the series fresh byreleasing both minor and major updates over the course of its lifespan. Perhaps thefinal 'major'update to the series, Central Fiction was officially announced 12 daysafter the North American release of the prequel, BlazBlue: ChronoPhantasma Extend. (Which came as a surprise to overseas fans who possibly shelled out theirhard-earned money for a full price 'new' game, only to find out thatthey will soon be playing an outdated version... yet again.) In any case, there'sanother new iteration of Blazblue out, and you should know by now whether or not you'reexcited about that. The console version of Central Fiction does introduce the most newcharacters to ever appear in a sequel. A total of 7 newcomers join the fray: Hibiki Kohaku,Naoto Kurogane, 'Nine' (AKA Konoe A. Mercury), Hades Izanami, Es,Mai Natsume, and Susanoo (unlockable through completing story mode).Hibiki and Naoto are brand new characters to the franchise, while Nineand Hades Izanami are characters who appeared previously in the BlazBluestoryline but are playable for the first time in Central Fiction.Newcomer 'Es' is a crossover character from XBlaze and now has a role inthe BlazBlue storyline.
