YMMV / XBlaze

• Awesome Music: The two Anime Theme Songs for each game; Be Oneself and End Gazer, respectively. Even better in the former's case as the game gives us the full version.
  • And BlazBlue: Central Fiction has the latter opening as a background OST option to boot.
• Broken Base: The fact that the games have no narration or description with all the text being dialogue. Word of God is that they wanted the games to feel like an anime so all of the action is done with the sprites and CGs. Some people like this, feeling that it is more natural and reads better. Others would have preferred narration more like a traditional Visual Novel, saying that even the fairly dynamic sprites aren’t enough detail for the action and citing that BlazBlue does have narration that doesn’t take away from the pacing.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: WHAT! Me and Little Sister are younger versions of Nine and Celica? That’s a real shocker, what with them looking exactly the same, having the same voice actresses, having the same personalities, Me and Nine having the same preference for fire magic, Little Sister and Celica having the same ability to nullify seithr, and Me and Little Sister appearing when Nine and Celica are Amane-fied.
• Complete Monster: The twisted SS-class criminal only known by the moniker Ripper is a sadistic Serial Killer who, by his own admission, stirs chaos solely to alleviate his boredom. Infamous for dozens of grisly murders in the past, Ripper was eventually apprehended for his carelessness but awakened to his Drive during transport. Massacring all but one of his captors, Ripper fled the scene and attempted to take shelter from his pursuer, consequently orphaning and traumatizing Yuki Himezuru after murdering her parents. Continuing his killings for over a decade, Ripper develops a personal interest in Touya Kagari's latent Grimoire powers and attempts to break him into unleashing his potential so he can have a good fight; this includes torturing his friend Hinata and cruelly relaying the story of what he did to his guardian, Yuki. Although Ripper is slain when he pushes Touya too far, death was not the end for him. Returning in Lost: Memories under the new designation Freaks, a moniker he proudly embraces, Ripper was accidentally resurrected when the Magic Guild researched his Seithr-laden corpse and split his consciousness between himself and an amnesiac, Kiri. Subtly manipulating Kiri to regain full control of his body, Freaks is driven by nothing but his suppressed bloodlust and all-consuming desire for revenge against Touya and his friends.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • You know Sech's a bastard when you find out that he murdered his father, and that he tried to murder his sister, Kuon.
  • While Unomaru was evil beforehand, Lost Memories revealed that in order to awaken Hinata as the Embryo he savagely beat her as revenge for her sabotaging the creation of the T-system 10 years ago, which makes it really hard to believe there is any good in him being a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The ninth Es-N Unit. Despite surviving the events of Code Embryo and being taken in by Mei to work alongside her and Touya, she only gets a single mention in Lost Memories. She easily could have been inserted into the final battle at the very least, just to do something with her.
• Woolseyism: While Little Sister is a direct translation of Imouto, Me and Watashi is a little different. Watashi is a polite first-person pronoun that most directly translates to “I” since Japanese does not have a distinction between a subject pronoun like I and an object pronoun like me. The translators went with Me because, while not a direct translation, an object pronoun makes more sense for a proper name and sounds more natural.
