～SUMMARY OF PAST GG～ *SPOILERS!
PROLOGUE
-The end of the 21st century-
Humanity succeeded in creating what became known as magic essentially a source of limitless power. But though mankind had discovered the path leading to true wisdom, it was unable to renounce its foolish and destructive ways. What was intended to help, nurture, and promote world peace was instead corrupted and used for war.
It was during these trying times that a scientist known only as That Man conducted forbidden experiments on someone known as Frederick, who would later be known as Sol Badguy, turning him into the first of the living weapons known as Gears. Those in power, seeing that these new weapons could be used to ensure their continued hold on that power, created Gears in great numberstheir goal was nothing less than world domination.
Although GEARs were originally human, after their transformation they possessed no free will of their own except for one. This Gear, Justice, took control of her fellow weapons and declared war on all of humanity. It was this action that began what was soon called the Crusades, a century-long war pitting mankind against the weapons they had created.
-The end of the Crusades-
In a last, desperate attempt to prevent complete annihilation, the forces of humanity formed the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, an army that specialized in the extermination of Gears. It was due to their efforts that the tide of war turned, and the Gears were slowly pushed back. In the year 2175, Justicethe one responsible for the worlds descent into chaos and horrorwas finally defeated and sealed away. Then, at last, the Crusades came to an end with humanity emerging victorious, though only just barely.
GUILTY GEAR
It was only five years later that Justices prison proved much less permanent than the world had hoped, when she was released and resurrected by an unknown party. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the U.N. began recruiting for a 2nd Sacred Order of Holy Knights. Among those who came to participate in the tournament being held to screen potential volunteers was Sol. Sensing an ulterior motive behind the tournament, Sol took it upon himself to not only to defeat Justice once and for all, but to unravel the true intentions behind the U.N.s tournament and become its champion as well.
GUILTY GEAR X
-One year after the destruction of Justice-
The world was informed that a Gear had appeared who claimed to be an ally of humankind. Ky, now a member of the International Police Force, was dispatched to investigate those responsible for the announcement. Upon entering the forest of demons, an area believed to be the home of the last remaining Gears, Ky found Dizzy, a young half-Gear woman.
Despite his best efforts, Ky was defeated by Dizzy and her overwhelming strength. As a result, a huge reward was offered for her capture, making her a prime target for bounty hunters everywhere. She was eventually defeated by Sol, who for some reason chose to let her live.
GUILTY GEAR 2
-2186 A.D-
Ky ascended to the throne of the United Kingdoms of Illyria, a powerful federation of nations that dominated the European continent. Not long after claiming the throne, a mysterious force led by a young woman known only as Valentine attacked the capital city of Illyria. Around the same time, parts of her army also attacked Sol. After fighting them off, Sol made his way to Illyria to reinforce Kys army, at Kys request. Together, they were able to repel Valentines army, but the capital was virtually annihilated in the process. Afterwards, Sol pursued Valentine into another dimension known as the Backyard, where he eventually defeated her.
GUILTY GEAR Vastedge
To prepare for the second coming of Valentines forces, Sol embarked upon a journey to collect the sacred treasures known collectively as the Outrageeight powerful weapons he had created.
Sol soon discovered that one of them, the Flashing Fang, was being held under tight security inside a UN facility known as Harden Fort. With the help of Sin, the child Sol was charged with rearing, Sol managed to fight his way into the facility. Once there, however, he ran into Baldias, a member of the Conclave. Sol learned that the governments of the world were actually under the control of the rather small Conclave.
After a tremendous battle, Sol was able to defeat Baldias and regain possession of the Flashing Fang.
GUILTY GEAR Xrd -SIGN-
Sol was in the process of chasing down the other sacred treasures when here received a message from Ky. In it, Ky told him that someone by the name of Ramlethal Valentine had declared war on all of humanity.
Sol reluctantly put his quest on hold and headed off to face this new Valentine. However, Ramlethals declaration of war was a diversion. A flying object known as the Cradle suddenly appeared, to wipe out the people from the city of Babylon. Ky took measures against the collapse of Babylon which had become a major global incident.
On top of resisting many times, he was successful in destroying the Cradle, however, what emerged from within the Cradle was none other than Justice, the Gear which had once waged the Crusades which brought humanity to the brink of extinction. The Conclave was confirmed to be the mastermind. Because Sin was able to open Ramlethals heart through repeated communication, Justices destination was established.
At the final destination, Illyria Castle, the decisive battle with Justice occurred and Sol emerged victorious. Elphelt then awakens, and begins to carry out her original mission, now devoid of emotions. In response to Sols desperate cries, Elphelt regained her emotions, but was taken away by the true mastermind.

6 New Characters
Johnny - a returning character from the GGXX series. He is the leader of the Jellyfish Pirates and uses Iaido for fast strikes at mid-range. Johnny also has a limited number of coins that he throws at the opponent that serves two purposes: to cancel the recovery of his attacks into continued offense, and to power up his Mist Finer specials for extended combos.
Jack-O' - a new character who wears a pumpkin shaped mask and a jumpsuit with leg flares and is one of That Man's associates. She places ghosts on the ground to summon servants to attack the opponent. The opponent can hit the ghosts and servants, but Jack-O' can pick up and move the ghosts. Her play style was inspired by the Real Time Strategy game GG2 OVERTURE.
Jam Kuradoberi - return from the GGXX series. She is a master chef and probably spends more time in the kitchen than in the battlefield. However, when she does fight, she possesses extraordinary power by channeling her Ki into devastating special attacks. Jam is a very offensive oriented character that wants to be up close and personal whenever possible.
*Console Exclusive for Now
*Kum Haehyun (DLC) - a new character who is a martial arts master. Appearing as a large, strong old man, the real Haehyun is in fact a young woman. Her outward appearance is an artificial body, Jeonryeok Kum, piloted by Haehyun from within. Kum's special attacks have multiple follow-up attacks that the player can pick depending on the situation.
*Raven (DLC, also unlockable in-game) - a returning character from GG2 OVERTURE, making his fighting game debut in GGXrd -REVELATOR-. An immortal and That Man's right-hand man, Raven is a masochist who has grown tired of his immortal life. In battle, Raven has long reaching attacks and a unique special that fills a gauge if he takes damage during it, increasing the power of his other attacks.
*Dizzy (DLC) - a returning character from the GGXX series. She is the half-Gear daughter of Justice, and is now wife to Ky Kiske and mother of Sin Kiske. In past games, Dizzy was a highly mobile character who employed her wings, Necro and Undine, in combat, along with various projectiles used to control space and allow Dizzy to get up close.
