Also Alpha 1 is coming and Jin and Tsubaki's kid is gonna be the new protagonist and jin can't fight anymore due to his deal with Trinity. Mori stated that the BlazBlue series isn't over just Ragna's story and that in two years there will be a new saga. Since when did those two have a kid? Besides, nowhere in this series did their relationship ever progress far beyond simply being a "sibling" of sorts that enjoys each other's company. Unless you're going by that clip of where Rachel was being held at swordpoint when she was visiting Ragna's "grave". Here I thought that was Tsubaki since that's her voice and Rachel did request to Tsubaki to kill her at the end of CP (what exactly was the cause for that request anyways, Mori???). I mean, sure she's wielding Hakumen's sword, which is prolly where you got that wild fan theory/head cannon that they had a child who took up Hakumen's sword. But if you cared to remember, that when Hakumen got taken down by Terumi, he just kinda dropped his sword, where Tsubaki was left alone. While Jin and Ragna chased down Susanoo and Jin didn't wield the Okami, but the Hihiirokane. It even states in her profile in this wikia site

Edit: I just went back and played the ending again. Rachel even mentions her name, to which Tsubaki said that the name is pretty nostalgic. And since the wikia states she is in Izayoi mode, either states that she lost herself into becoming fully Izayoi now or the Izayoi gained her own personality and soul much like Mu/Hakumen? If it's the former, then probably the time skip did happen and something happened to Jin. If it's the latter, then it does not necessarily mean a time skip happened.

And if you're just hoping that it would be a long time skip, then forget it man. There's a lot of currently unanswered questions and things that CF did not address. Like the matters of Carl and Arakune. The former is pretty obvious. While the latter was never actually killed by Bang, since he disappeared along with everyone when the Embryo was taking everyone away. So Litchi would still have a reason to search for him, unless Bang lied to her about Arakune's fate. And there's the fact that Nu is in a daze, and could possibly hint that she could break later on? And Relius is still out there. And Amane still exists despite his and Ragna's conversation (unless the translation sucks or I'm misinterpreting it), so that means that he still has to observe things? And they mentioned that the Takamagahara system still exists despite Terumi having taken it down? There's a lot of things they just left open intentionally. So I knew that there had to be more than this. Otherwise, them creating the crossover with Persona and RWBY to promote this series in the West makes no sense, if  they are trying to promote a closed and eventually dying series.

Also, good luck trying to find any romance here. JinxTsubaki are pretty vague at best, since even in Hakumen's timeline, they were just coworkers that respected each other(and that was the closest Tsubaki ever gotten to him). And they don't show them  together at the end. Jin just gets promoted and that's it. And Tsubaki wasn't present. Bang's love for Litchi is still crushingly one-sided. Nobody else has the time or plans for romance. Bullet left her captain to go off on her own. Taokaka is still Taokaka. Noel went into Sisterhood, prolly because she harbors Saya's/Izanami's soul and Saya only cared about her onii-sama. Same with the other PFDs. Makoto never held any infatuation with anybody else, cept maybe younger boys which her encounter with Naoto revealed. But Carl's gone and Hibiki cares about his job with Kagura too much, so... And then Celica went poof, but she only cared about Ragna. So no loss there. Then there's Platinum who only cares about Jubei, and is stuck at an all-girls clinic. So like Noel and PFDs, she's stuck in a tacofest. Same with Linhua. Mai is technically a guy in essence. And it is unknown if she even swings that way or the other, since even in the Spectacles of Eros gag, she didn't really know the concept of romance/love. Although don't quote me on that, because I never read the remix heart series. But then again, whereas the Xblaze is concerned, I dunno how much of these spin-offs affects the main storyline, if at all. Anyways, they also never shown much of Kajun outside of the ending. Es is still the guardian. Kokonoe still only cares about her scientific research. And then finally Rachel is left with her one-sided feelings too.

So honestly good luck. A lot of animes, even romance stories themselves, usually tries to avoid opening can of worms or making statements of pairings, unless it is for lore/plot convenience, much like NinexJubei. Because I'm still pretty confident that they only wrote that in to explain Kokonoe's existence and role as the series resident "catgirl" (Taokaka does not count since you can't even see her face). So nope. No romance whatsoever here. This is first and foremost a fighting game, with a lots of action and drama.
