Entropy Effect X has been announced, and with it, a new trailer full of new lore that seems much more rooted in the BlazBlue franchise then the game has been thus far.
A new set of NPCs have been revealed that seem to have interesting similarities to the Sector Seven cast. Below I'll be taking a look at the characters' profiles as listed in a Famitsu article, but note that I'm not translating the text of these profiles. It's too late in the night for me to want to do that.
Instead, I'm just noting any information I find interesting from either the profile or the trailer itself. Thank you for your understanding.
Dr. Mercurius
A strange scientist seen at the beginning of the new trailer, who looks a lot like Jubei or Kokonoe. According to their profile, the cat face is actually a mask. In charge of the lab and these experiments they're running, but the trailer suggests his teammates don't trust all them.
Shares a VA with Kokonoe herself, as well as XBlaze's Ringo and Mother.
Ti [Dr. T]
A researcher with a great amount of trust in Dr. Mercurius. His specialty seems to lie in researching "consciousness." Shares a VA with Tager.
Lime [Dr. L]
The researcher in charge of her teammates health, as well as the game's shop. Shares a VA with Litchi. The shared Chinese aesthetics are notable.
Fox [Dr. F]
A researcher who appears to be straight up wearing the Torifune Military Academy uniform from the BB series. In charge of running the simulations in the game. She mentions having a "best friend" she wants to save. She shares a VA with Kajun Faycott.
Cafe [Dr. C]
A passionate, if initially unimpressive, researcher. Very good at making coffee. Very willing to take risks for his research. Shares a VA with Arakune and Roy. The trailer suggests he might have a similar experience with a Cauldron.
