I had not followed any of Guilty Gear's story prior to Xrd, and going through the story mode was much easier to understand compared to Chrono Phantasma, which was my first BlazBlue game.I have to say, after replaying Xrd's story, I really like how they handled it. It was just watching anime cutscenes for about 2 hours, which I think benefited it. They didn't have to make up a stupid reason why these two specific characters had to fight, and there was arcade mode with the usual way things work, which also had important plot points that needed to be seen before it was recommended to start the story. I also really liked the story itself, and can't wait for the sequel. I have to admit, i'm in a weird place with Guilty Gear's story. Xrd is the first Guilty Gear i've played, but i've been keeping up with the story since middle school.
Man, I remember going through BBCP's story and having the wiki open at all times to remind myself of whatever concepts they were talking about. What I get for getting into a series three games, I guess.
