needs moar characters :\
I know it's a new IP but it would be awesome if a few GG characters made a cameo. Would love to see Millia, Baiken and a few others make a redesigned return.
This looks great, but I'm far too attached to the Guilty Gear series to not hope for a new high def iteration of the franchise in the future as well.
Well, original GG also had 10 characters, 2 sub-bosses and 1 boss.
Back, to GG,"thank" Ishitawari, I think he denied a GG anime which probably would have made good revenue. Well, okay, honestly, what probably accounts for 98% of the change to BB is:

I made an article here but in french :

So I'll translate it briefly.
In arcadia magazine showed, Arcsys saif that they were stopping (and it's official) dev on Naomi and the Guilty Gear Series.
The reason is that now, as sammy and sega fusionned, the licenses of sammy are now for Sega. And is sammy was only a pachinko editor and a modest editor for video games, sega decides what can be done with the license.
So to use Guilty Gear name, musics, properties, ArcSys have to ask, and Sega can say no if they do not want to. And if Sega is Ok, ArcSys have to pay rights for the pre-isuka creations, as only the post-isuka creations are their creations.
So with an editor like sega deciding for you if you can or not, continue your work, it's clear that ArcSys prefered doing another game, and this game is Blazblue.
Guilty Gear is not dead as the license is still in sega's hands, and ishiwatari is working on Ouverture and others games related to Guilty Gear, but Guilty Gear will never be done by Arcsys as they officialy announced they quit the dev.
So if new Guilty Gear comes, it will be developped by Ishiwatari (who have the creative rights) and another studio, for Sega.
It's not bullshit, e guilty player who worked for them for presentations confirmed everything.
Now you understand why almost all characters changed in Ouverture, why almost all characters in the story of AC+ dies or disapear, and why the rest of characters of ouverture is completly redesigned and changed (Valentine being a "copy" of dizzy for exemple), it's a way for ishiwatari to not make the same mistake and not pay too many rights for the previous creations.
So no, Arcsys will not make a revision of Guilty Gear, GG is over for them.

So yeah, it's basically over.
