  The sequel to Code: Embryo, XBlaze Lost: Memories is as wonderful and well crafted as its predecessor. Although, I lean towards Embryo (I like the way it is categorized in chapters, the feel and the character profiles), Lost Memories has its own uniqueness. PROS: - At this point I'm still playing, but the story so far is really engaging; - Music is perfect; - Mechanics are easy to learn (attention: the buttons now do different things); - Extras with stills, memories and Gag scenario; - Love you, Nobody! - In addition to being a visual novel, the player can now choose a path (Embryo didn't had this option of choice); CONS: - Dialogue playing without player clicking Enter; - Greyish character profiles (Embryo had vivid colors); - No chapters, just an episodic continuum (pretty hard for me to understand); - That's it for now. I cannot conclude my review yet, because I'm still playing the game. Even so, I recommend fellow players to try this game out. They will not be disappointed.

  I'll admit I've only played up to level 4, but I can't play any more. Half of this game is watching cutscenes from the first game, so you're paying for a game that is half just watching the first game that you probably already played. And the actual gameplay is just walking around a basic island collecting gems, and I know Visual Novels rarely have any actual gameplay in them, but if you're going to put it in there don't make it so insultingly bland. And every time you collect a gem you have to sit through a dialogue exchange that is ear grading. I found myself looking at gem and I just couldn't bring myself to pick it up, I couldn't listen to this anymore.

  If you are super into Blazblue's story you should absolutely give the XBlaze series a try! It's definitely a niche within a niche which is why I think it gets a bad rep but if you are in this particular niche don't let that bad rep scare you away. Lost Memories can get a bit repetitive due to it being mostly a recap of Code Embryo but it is absolutely a necessary sequel and you will get a deeper understanding of the XBlaze cast.

  "Lost...Memories!" In another world, where things look seemingly normal, where 2 young girls by the name of "Me"/"Watashi" and "Little Sister"/"Imoto" just having a normal day where things couldn't go wrong, but in actuality, it does happen. For some reason the little sister goes missing, "Me" is trying to look for her, but ends up in some place called the Phantom Field and surprisingly meets "Nobody" who is of unknown origin, and both of them are ready for an adventure to find "Me"'s sister and collect "Memories" along the way for someone's distant past. XBlaze Lost: Memories is the sequel to Code: Embryo in which more of the "BlazBlue" lore is explored, more or less depending. And for those complaining about the Toi system from the first game will find out that its been done away, so that the game plays on its own way. The "TIPS" makes a return here as well (though most entries will require you to talk to the "Brain Cat" character in all areas of every Phantom Stage). The game plays in 2 ways, the first half being with "Me" and Nobody finding "Memories" in the Phantom Field with the story being an abridged version of Code: Embryo from Es's point of view, right to the point where they find "Little Sister". The second half continues from after the first XBlaze were Es returns back to Earth and tries to stop a returning villain, the second half plays like an actual Visual Novels where in each chapter, you're given a choice, one part continues the story, the other is either the bad/gag ending depending on chapter. (Don't worry, you can continue from these and not load progress again. But can save from the choice segments if you wish to 100% the unlockables and such.) As it was from the previous console ports (PS3/Vita), the port, like how it was in Code: Embryo, runs real great and also loads scenes fast. You can also unlock extra scenarios and other bonuses by completing the game, and Sechs scenario, which was originally DLC from the Console versions is now unlockable too, so don't worry. Unfortunately, the Steam version doesn't let you name your protagonist as it was in the Console versions and leaves it as "***" as the game (Nobody) gives it to you. Either way, the story continues.

  I like how Xblaze looks as a visual novel as the sprites and backgrounds blend in and have a lot of angles, the constant moving during action scenes and eye movement. As for the story you can play this without the first game since they practically recap the story from a different perspective for the first half of the game. As a sequel I feel like the new characters were simply a plot device that even the creators were too lazy to give them a name, not that they were bad but simply out shined by the previous game's characters and under developed. The mechanic where we collect memory fragments is better than reading certain articles on Toi in the first game to get on someones route but getting a bad end in the second half of the game was as ridiculous as the curry side story lol.

  I think this game is an excellent Addition to its Predecessor. The new characters tell an interesting story on their own but i mainly came to this to hear more about what happend after the End of XBlaze Code : Embryo. In this regard i must say you should rather look to the former before you begin this novel cause otherwise you would miss out on some events mainly the other possible endings, since the game retells only one ending from its Predecessor. I found it very interesting to hear the events from XBlaze Code : Embryo with the focus from different characters, even if it were only the ones belonging to the main cast. I'll definetly replay this game at some point.
