Battle Fantasia and Guilty Gear 2 playable at Anime Expo

We know that Battle Fantasia, the 2.5-D fighter by Arc System Works, is coming to the PS3 since it had a demo on the Japanese PS Store a while back. It's the first we've heard of Guilty Gear 2, but looking at the franchise history, it'll probably find its way to the PS3 as well. Why not play the games, though? If you'll be near the Los Angeles Convention Center for the big Anime Expo this weekend, you can get your hands on a playable version of both. Sounds like fun!

PS3 Fanboy hands-on: Battle Fantasia

Battle Fantasia is an upcoming fighting game from Arc System Works -- a name fighting fans will recognize from the Guilty Gear series. The game will be released soon in Japan, hence why there's currently a playable demo up on the Japanese PSN. If you've got a Japanese account go check it out, if not, then read our impressions right here.

On the demo there are two modes you can play: versus CPU and story mode. We headed towards versus CPU first to get a feel for the controls. Sure enough, we engaged in battle, played around with the commands, and ultimately felt that the experience was most akin to Street Fighter Alpha. Everything from combo inputs to that specials bar at the bottom of the screen all mimic the classic set up. The artistic style is unique, though; it's like Guilty Gear meets Disney's version of medieval times.

Arc System Works is breaking away from their high-res 2D sprite model for fighters and are trying something new with Battle Fantasia -- it's still 2D, but with uniquely 3D characters. If we could describe the result, it'd probably be a cross between Guilty Gear and Radiata Stories. The colors and character designs just seem reminiscent of those found in Tri-Ace's under-appreciated RPG, but the fighting is distinctly Guilty Gear in execution. There's another video after the jump, so give it some of your love, too!

Arc System Works unveils another fighter: Battle Fantasia

A while back we showed you some screenshots of another of Arc System Works' upcoming games, BlazeBlue (translation isn't perfect, but it'll do). Now Arc System Works is taking a stab at another 2D fighting game, this one more in the cutesy, Arcana Hearts style -- except you can play as more than little girls. Details are scarce, as this new game, dubbed Battle Fantasia, has just been revealed in Famitsu, but it seems there are some kind of HP and MP gauges. A story mode and online mode will be available for the PS3 and 360 when the game releases in May ... in Japan. Who knows if we'll see it stateside, but remember, PS3 games are region free.
