Professor translated the details...

The new release will be titled Blazblue Chrono Phantasma or Phantasm. This should be cleared up during the day
There’s reportedly a lot that’s been changed in the game. The neutral poses have been redrawn for all the characters, and their costumes are even different. Of course they also have new moves.
Noel has a different weapon and she doesn’t wear a cap this time.
Tsubaki is the version that’s fallen to the dark side.
Hazama has a new DD
The BGMs seems to be different as well
Three new characters will be added in: Amane, Barret(Bullet?), Azrael. Amane fights with something like a cloth, Barret looks a bit like Makoto, Azrael is muscular.

Mori confirms it as well...

- Azrael is a mid-aged muscular man who's sort of a meathead, fighting is everything to him. Drive name is "The Terror".
- Amane is a man that looks as beautiful as a goddess, fights with a plumage. Drive name is "Spiral".
- Barret is a close-combat cool female mercenary with cleavage. At a glance her motions looks a bit like Makoto's. Drive name is "Lockon".
- Voices: Barret= Toa Yukinari (Berserk anime series' Casca), Azrael= Hiroki Yasumoto (Bleach's Chad), Amane=Akira Ishida (Namco Tales series' Rid Hershel)
- Jin can do his DD in the air
- Bang has a new DD where he uses his nail
- Ragna has a new move that looks a bit like Gravedigger (probably means Testament's from the GG series.)
- Hazama has a new move where he turns into Terumi and steps on his opponent

OMG, the new characters are BEAUTIFUL! Noel is BEAUTIFUL! This will be the first Blazblue game I will be buying since Calamity Trigger.

[Mai~Crimsonheart]

wow ... not bad.

I have been dying for a character that uses a silk scarf to fight besides rose and i get one ... who's a guy ... in pink ... im sure ill get over all the weirdness. Interesting to see that noel is the only character that got a makeover -_- ...

[Evil_Yagami]

I see interesting stuffs here, a great step from Akysys ! the stages look stunning and completely new, I hope SNK to follow Akysys steps and bring for us a new title !

[Monpochi]

LAWD~! I was waiting for a character like Azrael to be in this franchise. *fans self* HE FINE~!

And Amane, serving some Shion realness here eh? I am seeing that I'm going to love his spritework. 

[Mikel]

About time Arc had the guts to make a new BB game. Pretty hyped for this one and its new characters, though I will still stick to Relius, Ragna, Platinum, Tsubaki, and Noel.

At least I have Persona 4: Arena to hold me over until this one comes out on consoles.

[geomega]

finally the best 2D game gets a true sequel.. love the characters according to other websites KOKONOE & JUBEI might be added too. nice

love a mane... looks really gay and awesome at the same time.

[TheDuskwalker]

Noel looks STUNNING! So glad she wears her hair down now. <3 Can see a bit of her Mu-12 persona reflected in her new design. Speaking of Mu-12 I wander what they're going to do with that moveset? Hope they leave her in as a uncanon what if character.

OMG, the new characters are BEAUTIFUL! Noel is BEAUTIFUL! This will be the first Blazblue game I will be buying since Calamity Trigger.

Still would recommend Extend for the time being, it's got 2 playable Noelies!

Interesting to see that noel is the only character that got a makeover -_- ...

Story wise she had to get a makeover. Bolverk got destroyed, sort of speak, and since Bolverk was a emotion limiter her personalty should have changed/matured a little bit, plus she's no longer part of the library and is now part of Sector 7 I assume. Well and there is the creator biased towards Noel since her and Hakumen is his 2 favorite characters too.

[Running Wild]

I'm glad I skipped CS and Extend.

Azrael looks pretty cool.

General Notes

Gold Bursts have been replaced with the Overdrive system. Press all four buttons at neutral to consume your Burst and activate Overdrive.

By spending 25% of your Drive Gauge, you can perform a Guard Crush attack that breaks through a blocking opponent. This can be Barrier Guarded though.

Character-Specific Overdrive List

Ragna: Blood Kain Idea
Jin: Frost End - All attacks involving Yukinaesa freeze on contact
Noel: Chain Quasar - Increases speed of drive moves
Rachel: Erufreed(?) - Increases speed of Slypheed gauge recovery
Tao: Almost Becoming Two!
Tager: Voltic Field - Forces magnetism on opponent
Litchi: Daisharin - Manual control of staff using joystick + D button
Arakune: Crimson Deeps - Extends curse duration
Bang: Furinkazan
Carl: Syncro High Speed - Improves Nirvana's strength
Hakumen: Kishin - Increases magatama rate, can cancel D counters into special moves, but cannot perform guard crushes
Tsubaki: Second Install - Install gauge automatically charges over time
Hazama: Jormungand - Strengthens drive attacks, gets life steal ring from Unlimited ver.
Makoto: G.Impact - All Impact moves are done at Level 3
Valkenhayn: Andross(?) Wolf - Quickly accelerates wolf gauge recovery
Platinum: Magical Heart Catch - Removes limit on weapon usage summoned with Drive
Relius: Maximum Dance - Increases Ignis gauge recovery
Amane: Cyclone - All drive attacks are at highest level
Bullet: Heat the Beat - Always in Heat Up state
Azrael: Mind Corroseo(?) - All attacks act like they hit weak points(?)

So they replaced bursts so everyone now has a install/power-up, instead of it being a character specific super. Neat!

Forgive my ignorance. Is this a sequel or a version upgrade?
Getting hard to tell these days.

[Running Wild]

It's pretty much a sequel. Gameplay mechanics and subsystems getting a total overhaul.

nice can't wait, its pretty much confirm that SAYA might be the ending boss for this game.
, hopefully phantom{nines} and kokonoe gonna be there according to too much winning about the fans.

also lots of lambda 11 and nu-13 fans are getting mad because according to the story this two characters are dead. i like the fact the arc system its sticking to the story n not listening to whining fans.

what u guys think?
