Title: Magical Battle Arena NEXT Fantasy Side 1.04
Post by: Koog on December 03, 2013, 11:07:16 PM
AREA-ZERO (Creators of Touhou Sky Arena) decided of making a new 3D Fighting Game, which is gonna be a sequel to Touhou Sky Arena and Magical Battle Arena.  :D
As mentioned in the website this new game will include characters from the 2 games mentioned above, but other characters from Touhou can appear .
Only 2 characters have been confirmed to appear in this new game:
Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame
You can also take a look to their websites:
http://area-zero.net/product/mba-n/
http://area-zero.net/product/mba-n/magen/0.html (this site has songs that will be in the game)
So, which Touhou characters do you think that are going to appear in the game? (Other than Reimu and Marisa)
And which from Magical Battle Arena?

Ah, I expected this after their album release. Though it is not something confirmed, but I guess that the characters appear whose theme are used in the album (Tenshi, Yukari, Youmu, Futo, Reisen).

Same with this. I hope one of the characters from Touhou 14 will make a appearance like Sekibanki.

As long as it has Yukari and Byakuren then I'm good. And if it still has the previous roster, hopefully Okuu will be in too.
Though I would like if the characters from TH13-14 being included in this, about time they show up. Oh, and more last bosses(I want the Old Mai*pichuun'ed*), I'm sick of 5th and Extra bosses appearing all the time.

And I hope they improved the gameplay.

Yeah, I'm kinda sure about that.

I'm hoping for: Nue, Kogasa, Byakuren, Eirin, Flandre, Yuuka and Sekibanki.
From MBA: Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura) and Lina (Slayers).

Post by: LadyScarlet on December 05, 2013, 04:02:43 PM
I hope to see Kokoro, Raiko, Flandre, Youmu and Yuyuko in the game.
On the MBA side, I want the Madoka girls (Madoka, Homura, Mami, Sayaka, Kyoko), though I don't think that will happen.

Pumped for this though!

Post by: OhEmGee on January 22, 2014, 12:30:28 PM
I have played the Demo version of it, but.. For me it's disappointing bcuz, it's much more to the Touhou Sky Arena, and very less Magical Battle Arena.
Because in MBA each character has two specials, while the MBAN have only one.
But what I hoped for the new game is that they have more characters and longer story/plot? in story mode?
I know that is too much ask, since it's only a fan made game. ^^'

Maybe they're planning for a second special for each character.
as for the story is just the same thing I said from above, besides they need more characters to plan a story.
I was also hoping for some things more from MBA.
Sorry for bad English.

looks like it will be an amazing game, and considering the date i dont think that madoka characters would be left out, so as classics like sakura and nanoha. and with the touhou characters i'm expecting to see Yukari, Youmu and characters from IN, MoF or SA. Tenshi' s theme is there; if she's in that would be cool  :3

This looks like a lot of fun, I've always wanted to try out Touhou sky arena but haven't the chance, so maybe this one will work. Also the end of the trailer shows a few characters it seems, I seen Youmu and Miko at the end along with Marisa. (which we already know about)
Title: Re: NEW FAN GAME!! Magical Battle Arena NEXT Magical Girls VS Fantasy World
Post by: monhan on February 05, 2014, 03:26:57 PM
Oh yeah, forgot that tiny bits in the end of the video that showcases some characters.
Touhou side : Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Miko
Magical Girls side : Illya, Miyu, Sakura?

Since I think this is limited only to girls, I doubt the "ladies" will show up.  :derp:
Also, I'm sure I read somewhere that all the cast in the previous MBA(Hayate and Kurenai) are all gonna be playable here. Well, I guess I'll be able to use Okuu, Tenshi and Nue.
Dunno about the Magical Girls side.

If Sakura is in I'M GOING TO PLAY IT! (Sakura was a HUGE part of my childhood), Also it seems that there are two characters from each show of Magical Girls (with the exception of Sakura, which also happened to be alone in MBA and was paired with Kukuri in Story mode (Mahoujin Guru Guru).
I can finally pair Reimu and Miko!! YAY!!!

And my brother loved playing as Kirara and Sarara... (I don't remember the name of the show...)

Here's the promotion image! DAT YUKARI

It seems they're adding characters form the album, so other characters may be: Remilia, Alice, Futo, Tenshi, Reisen, Patchy and Flandre.

Ahem. Well, of course the ETERNALLY YOUNG Yukari will join! Why do I doubt that! Ahahaha...

Then that settles who my main is. You're moving to sub, Okuu.
Also this opens the possibility for the other YOUNG characters to join in. Personally hoping for Byakuren. She'll by my second main if she's in.

Well, my i5 laptop can lag when playing Sky Arena and this demo after a long time.
How old is your computer?

Post by: monhan on August 07, 2014, 10:57:17 PM
So, the highlights are:
- Setsuna F. Youmu
- Yukari's PC 98 Yuuka color palette
- Tenshi's Last Word became just a slash? I miss the humongous beam.

For now the Touhou characters take priorities, the magical girls will be on later version next year.
Hoping for more characters, but oh well, this would make a nice debut game for a playable Yukari and Miko.
Hopefully it won't be long until it appears on Melonbooks DL.

Post by: Koog on August 08, 2014, 01:42:23 AM
Yeah. I wish Tenshi has Scarlet Weather Rapture...
But anyways, it seems Alice (one of my mains) still has The Phantom of the Grand Guignol. And they gave Marisa Blazing Star, so I think she'll be secondary.

It is the "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of All Humankind".
They changed it into a mere backhand sword slash, which is why I'm asking. Though it seems that she's not done, so she might follow it with the beam.

Her Overdrive Spell, "「神霊大宇宙」- Divine Spirits' Universe" .

One thing to remember, even though it's not implemented in the demo, the song boost and climax mechanic is still there.

FATAL K.O.

You done it right. An applause from me, Area ZERO.
Overall, this game seems better than the previous one. Faster fights and AI that knows what they're doing.
Still, it's a bit easy. The addition of support mechanics and synchro drives can be too powerful for the AI to handle. Not to mention the customizeable skills and synchro actions. However, this will prove to be a great addition in matches between human players because of the potential it has.
In short, this is Dissidia Duodecim to the Original Dissidia.

Wow, talk about having to retrain myself...

Also, what are the graphics option here? I'd like to lower them a bit, everything skipping around, hard to keep track.
Open the Config exe file. In the first window, change the meter to 1, then click the bottom left button to apply the changes.

For those who'd like to support, please buy it from Melonbooks http://shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/sp_213001016087_ryoikizero_kusenki.php (Put this in the front page, please.)
Currently it's still not up in Melonbooks DL, so I'll just wait for that one.
I think I'll definitely buy the final version of this game, but I hope it'll be available on Melonbooks DL too.
Shipping is a quite a hassle for me.

That's the quality control? Nice.

Ok, that lowers the resolution but also lowers the screen, still better than lagging a lot.
