BlazBlue: Centralfiction

BlazBlue: Centralfiction is the fourth game in the BlazBlue series.

Act I: Phantom of Labyrinth
Ragna and the others were in the Union of Hierarchical Cities, called "Ikaruga". They were rebelling against the ruler "Imperator" by their own reason.

As an answer for the consequences, mankind all over the world were decomposed into "Seithr". While the power inside Ragna was forcibly provoked to be out of control by the Imperator.

Thereafter, the Imperator has vanished somewhere, leaving the huge black sphere called the "Embryo". And Ragna was lost, after he transformed into his internal existence, the "Black Beast".

However... Ragna was still alive. When he gained consciousness at the 13th Hierarchical City "Kagutsuchi", the power of the Black Beast was sedated. Moreover, he was still himself though, he lost all of his memory.

Act II: Nightmare Memory
And then, they arrived at the "Reality" or otherwise called "another figment".

Same time, same place, but in the different causality chain. It is the realm that their desires come true. Or, it is the conclusion that the way it should be.

The world expedient. The figment.

Though that can be called the "reality", if they don't know what they are standing on.

Unfortunately―or maybe not―they finally found it.

"The phantom", she used be called "Nine the Magus", finally appeared and stood in front of them, the person who touched the edge of truth.

The interplay of lights and sparkle. But they never reached. Nine said, with coldly toned,

"Before the Day of Reckoning, the Imperator..... No― Izanami must be defeated. By your hands."

And then, the figment was ended with the beginning of another figment. The truth is still far beyond.

Act III: The Replacement Blue
Now time to rebel against the end.

General changes

 * When Overdrive is active, its duration is shown under the Burst Gauge in the form of a countdown timer (which counts seconds and split-seconds).
 * When a character takes damage, his/her portrait near the health bar shakes.
 * When the first round (in-game called Rebel) begins, character's emblem appears at each character side when the phrase "The Wheel of Fate is Turning" shows.
 * Arcade Mode stories are now separated into 3 acts.
 * When a character is close to entering Active Flow, there's a purple pink circle that surrounds the Overdrive Gauge.

New game mechanics

 * Exceed Accel: A special type of Distortion Drive, which is executed by pressing A+B+C+D in Overdrive or holding A+B+C+D after Overdrive is activated. It begins with the character performing a specific attack in their moveset, and once it connects the rest of the background shatters away into the Overdrive background effect when the attack is performed. It dishes large damage, but immediately ends Overdrive.
 * Active Flow: A new mechanic, which acts as the opposite of Negative Penalty status. A character that fights aggressively goes into an Active Flow, which boosts damage and recovery of the Burst Gauge. Active Flow also increases damage of Exceed Accel (and may add extra effects and animations for certain characters). When a character enters Active Flow, their emblem on the health bar becomes purple pink.
