During an interview with Joshua “Jyosua” Moore at SoCal Regionals 2014 earlier today, Arc System Works’ Toshimichi Mori answered a few questions about BlazBlue: Chronophantasma and the future of the series. When asked about the possibility of Chronophantasma appearing on one of the new eighth-generation consoles, like Sony’s PlayStation 4, Mori mentioned that plans are in the works before correcting himself and saying that he personally would like to see the title on a next-gen platform.

Following up on that thought, he mentioned that if they were to do such a thing, he would want it to be special in an effort to keep it from being an ordinary, boring port. When asked he if meant an update or something of that nature, Mori said it would be something along those lines.

Mori also stated that, given the chance, he would like to see BlazBlue given the same graphical update that ArcSys used in Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-.

Towards the end of the interview, Mori mentioned being aware of the fanbase that exists outside of Japan, and hopes to visit more events in the future. He even said we may see him make an appearance at Evo this year, so be on the look out if you plan to make the trip to Las Vegas in July.

The full interview is already available as an archive, so be sure to check it out below for more information on the development team’s balancing process, Mori’s thoughts on other characters from the BlazBlue universe becoming playable, and more.
