XBlaze Lost: Memories

I like how Xblaze looks as a visual novel as the sprites and backgrounds blend in and have a lot of angles, the constant moving during action scenes and eye movement. As for the story you can play this without the first game since they practically recap the story from a different perspective for the first half of the game. As a sequel I feel like the new characters were simply a plot device that even the creators were too lazy to give them a name, not that they were bad but simply out shined by the previous game's characters and under developed. The mechanic where we collect memory fragments is better than reading certain articles on Toi in the first game to get on someones route but getting a bad end in the second half of the game was as ridiculous as the curry side story lol.

"Lost...Memories!" In another world, where things look seemingly normal, where 2 young girls by the name of "Me"/"Watashi" and "Little Sister"/"Imoto" just having a normal day where things couldn't go wrong, but in actuality, it does happen. For some reason the little sister goes missing, "Me" is trying to look for her, but ends up in some place called the Phantom Field and surprisingly meets "Nobody" who is of unknown origin, and both of them are ready for an adventure to find "Me"'s sister and collect "Memories" along the way for someone's distant past. XBlaze Lost: Memories is the sequel to Code: Embryo in which more of the "BlazBlue" lore is explored, more or less depending. And for those complaining about the Toi system from the first game will find out that its been done away, so that the game plays on its own way. The "TIPS" makes a return here as well (though most entries will require you to talk to the "Brain Cat" character in all areas of every Phantom Stage). The game pla...

A fun and entertaining sequel to XBlaze Code: Embryo. (Recommended to view all endings (bad ends included) of Code: Embryo to avoid some small confusion throughout the story of Lost: Memories). [b]Pros[/b] [list] [*]Characters, both returning and new, are just as interesting and fun as they were. [*]While some cutscenes from the previous title are reused, the emphasis is more on each characters point of view (depending on which one is being viewed). [*]Story is interresting. [*]Decent amount of comedy. [*]Good length. [*]Enjoyable music. [*]Minimal gameplay elements that works for what the player has to do to progress. [*]Japanese VO. [*]Weekend cartoon feel. [/list] [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*]Title seems to start on 720p resolution althought that 1080p is saved in the settings, changing it back and forth fixes the display resolution (could notice since playing on streaming with info displayed on screen). Not that big of a deal but still. [*]Can't save or open textlog when viewing optiona...

If you want to go through Code: Embryo, no need. They replay the entirety of Code: Embryo here. Taking place over 150 years before BlazBlue, a story that actually makes sense.

TOTALLY MIND-BLOWING. I can't believe it. Seriously I really enjoyed the other Blazblue's I played, but this prequel, I don't know It's so much better on character development, history, and more other things than actually Blazblue Like....Blazblue has like 5 games already and I don't even know that much about Bullet...Litchi..Saya's life and many more characters and I feel sad about it but, here on XBlaze: Lost Memories I felt to many emotions at once.. They, even with different personality, get along pretty nice at the middle of the game....like a family, you don't see this on Blazblue they're just always fighting or worried about someone killing another one...Blazblue need more happiness.. Blazblue main History didn't even make me cry but....this one...I mean....Es's past so sad and difficult... And Nobody just managed somehow to change Nine's attitude like say WHAT? now she's another person.... she even cried many times here...now she would make friends and be happy...seriously I n...

I think this game is an excellent Addition to its Predecessor. The new characters tell an interesting story on their own but i mainly came to this to hear more about what happend after the End of XBlaze Code : Embryo. In this regard i must say you should rather look to the former before you begin this novel cause otherwise you would miss out on some events mainly the other possible endings, since the game retells only one ending from its Predecessor. I found it very interesting to hear the events from XBlaze Code : Embryo with the focus from different characters, even if it were only the ones belonging to the main cast. I'll definetly replay this game at some point.

The sequel to Code: Embryo, XBlaze Lost: Memories is as wonderful and well crafted as its predecessor. Although, I lean towards Embryo (I like the way it is categorized in chapters, the feel and the character profiles), Lost Memories has its own uniqueness. PROS: - At this point I'm still playing, but the story so far is really engaging; - Music is perfect; - Mechanics are easy to learn (attention: the buttons now do different things); - Extras with stills, memories and Gag scenario; - Love you, Nobody! - In addition to being a visual novel, the player can now choose a path (Embryo didn't had this option of choice); CONS: - Dialogue playing without player clicking Enter; - Greyish character profiles (Embryo had vivid colors); - No chapters, just an episodic continuum (pretty hard for me to understand). I recommend fellow players to try this game out. They will not be disappointed.

This has been my favorite Visual Novel so far because what it does is extremely unique to turn what would be an otherwise ordinary story into a magical experience. There are about three layers of interactivity between the characters and the original story of XBlaze Code: Embryo to make you curious about the entire world before the War of the Black Beast. Again, the art is alright, I'm not going to say I suddenly liked it between then and now and honestly think they upped a bit on the fanservice but it's still not as bad as others do with showing cleavage or thighs and miniskirts. I really suggest this over the first game as you'll find out the full, real story and then some without needing to find all the different paths. Yet I think it's better to see if you like that before trying this as it can be daunting with how much is packed into this. Characters have just a tiny bit more depth to them though that's like saying you've stapled an extra page of dialogue to a cardboard cutout. S...

An interesting but sus plot about getting someone see the true. sus. Btw, Some amazing character designs~

I'll admit I've only played up to level 4, but I can't play any more. Half of this game is watching cutscenes from the first game, so you're paying for a game that is half just watching the first game that you probably already played. And the actual gameplay is just walking around a basic island collecting gems, and I know Visual Novels rarely have any actual gameplay in them, but if you're going to put it in there don't make it so insultingly bland. And every time you collect a gem you have to sit through a dialogue exchange that is ear grading. I found myself looking at gem and I just couldn't bring myself to pick it up, I couldn't listen to this anymore.
