Guilty Gear as a series comes out rather infrequently even with updates and wasn't doing all of the money for Arcsys. Despite how fighting game fans react, BB as a whole is more popular in Guilty Gear and was made as their next gen fighting game and meant to be less frustrating to appeal to newcomers while also having a dedicated story that's meant to appeal to people who try to just play FGs by themselves but don't have enough content to do so with.

yeah but without story modes you don't really get the chance to explore those personalities and motivations

and sometimes you can even have character development

this is probably why it doesn't make sense to you, xrd's plot is directly tied into lots of past stuff, especially gg2: overture

Why are you expecting to understand anything to a sequel then?

That's not untrue, but my point was characters and personality have always sort of been a thing for FG characters, it's true you don't get as indepth with them though

I took DP's question as asking why FGs have stories period, not Story Modes specifically.

while blazblue is convoluted in the sense that i have no loving idea at what point anything is happening where and why, guilty gear is convoluted in the best sense in that if you were to play the first game and skip to xrd you'd go from sol-badguy and ky being rivals fighting in a tournament to ky being the king, with sol-badguy as his gruff traveling friend who's secretly a super ultimate weapon and is now babysitting his son, who ky kiske had with his half super bioweapon wife

Because I remember hearing that the previous games didn't have any plots at all. If that is wrong, I might go back then.

You heard wrong then because even the first Guilty Gear had a plot as bare bones as it was and Xrd's story picks up from Guilty Gear 2 a game with an actual story

the people who told you that were giant liars

the earlier gg games didn't have super in-depth story modes but they had tons of backstory and stuff and there were even a few manga

and guilty gear 2: overture was actually really plot heavy

Also Xrd's story mode picks up from Xrd's Arcade mode which picks up from GG2, so the actual Xrd story begins in the arcade mode

Oh man, but isn't 2 supposed to be a bad moba? I might just read the wiki for that one.

heck guilty gear x and onward actually have story modes with at least some plot, even if it's mostly talking heads every character has multiple endings and even route splits/dialogue options.

2 is kind of dynasty warriors more than anything, just with you summoning troops to fight for you. it isn't really like a MOBA, I'd compare it more to, idk, sacrifice if you ever played that.

It gives context as to what the gently caress is happening at the start of the story mode for literally every character except Elphelt who was added to the console version which is why she doesn't have scenes for her arcade mode

I did figure out that there was plot in the Arcade after trying arcade mode. So all of that is canon? It's not like some other fighting games where the plot changes slightly depending on your character?
