This is just ridiculous. I want no part of BlazBlue if this is the direction its going.

It's not that surprising considering the number of updates they did to Guilty Gear X2

I'm sorry...how is this different to SSFIV? They're getting a new version with Rolento and R. Mika or whoever. 
It's just the way of fighting games..lets just hope we don't get the GGX2 phenomenon without the storyline being updated. I'd happily buy every version if there were new characters and a continued storyline.

They're just updating the arcade version to match the home version. DLC characters, Mu, balance fix and stuff like that. Everything will be on the console first anyway.

I have to think that this is just for arcades, because arcades can't throw in DLC characters or balance fixes.
 
Also, Arc has seemed more likely to just release a full on new version every year with big balance changes, a couple new characters and progression of the story.  This is much better than a Street Fighter, where the story is Goddamn worthless.  I'm no anime fan, but the gameplay and the focus on characterization has got me interested in the story of BlazBlue.

Somehow I think it's just an arcade update.
