don't laugh, what specific titles am I supposed to play if I want to experience of GG's story?
>Guilty GearStory?
>>728967178yeah, I know, it's sillybut I just want some idea what titles have the story because there's so many fucking spin offs and versions

>>728966201GGGGXGGXXROVERTUREthe end
>>728967258The recent 3D ones is the most effort they put into the story and even those is a mess. The rest are from Japanese only audio dramas or novels and shit.
>>728967503throw in the sound novel where sol cries like a bitch when ky and faust die too
>>728966201they've retconned so much shit that playing the old games for story is no longer worth it imo.not even fucking gg1 justice is cannon, and they acted like sol DIDN'T KNOW justice was aria in rev when its literally been game 1.
>>728966201>>728967258I understand your plea, mostly because i think the Guilty Gear series and lore is COOL AS FUCK!However, it being a fighting game franchise, you won't really get to see much of the meat and juice of it's world and story beyond bite sized interactions in arcade and story modes. You have to skim through arcade mode endings and actual story modes that are just shorter arcade runs to get a grasp. This video >>728967464 right here is a good summary on what the franchise is, actually, that's what made get into it in the first place.That said, i can recommend doing an arcade run of Sol Badguy for each of the mainline games.AFTER THATYou can play Overture, which is basically a weird action rpg rts musou which has the most direct story mode.It's a bit of a kusoge, desu, but i still enjoy it and again, it's the most straight forward of them all without doing the retarded '5 hours of cutscen a match' modern fighting game story modes do.Have fun, friend, it's though liking these franchises.https://youtu.be/ziQPKGEdFHI

>>728966201GG1 -> GGX -> GGXX vanilla -> GGXX#ReloadThat's the original based Daisuke timelineGGXX Accent Core Plus has a story mode but it wasn't made by him. Still fun and worth checking out.GG2 -> GGXrdThis is the mid life crisis Daisuke timeline, he references a bit of XX every now and then but then decided to retcon stuff, especially regarding Justice.Strive story is Tranny Faggot senile Daisuke doing whatever the fuck gets his final game to sell so he can retire cuz he's an old hack who sold his soul.
>>728966201GG PS1: The first storyGGX Plus: The japanese PS2 version has a extended story mode but it's in japanese. For english versions, the arcade mode is already enough.GGXX: Has a semi VN story mode and the first part of the XX storyline.GGXXAC+R: Semi VN story mode and the sequel or the second part of the XX storyline.GG2 Overture: The true sequel.Starting from Xrd the main story only have a anime movie story mode with no gameplayGGXrdSignGGXrdREV2: Sequel to Sign.GGStrive: The latest one.
does anyone play overture multiplayer? i had a dream about it recently
>>728967774>>728967781thanks, guys
>>728966201Is it even possible to consume the story of this series without knowing Japanese? I thought there are a million unstranslated audio dramas.
>>728966201guilty gear on PS1 arcade mode endingsguilty gear x arcade modeone of the guilty gear X2 games that doesn't have accent core in the title (I personally suggest #reload) arcade modedespite being in the same series as the other X2 games and sharing 95% of the same assets accent core and +r have a new storyline, one that's pretty much entirely non-canon based on future games so you can ignore that oneguilty gear 2 overture (the wierd but cool moba one) single player campaignguilty gear xrd sign arcade modes + story modeguilty gear xrd revelator/rev 2 arcade modes + story modes + after story guilty gear strive arcade + story modeseverything else is either aggressively non canon, a book or some shit that you can get a summary of in one of the games, or doesn't have a plot
>>728968363there's unironically a discord for it
>>728968871Why does Isuka have no story? since that introduced ABA and had some cool stages, what is it supposed to be? just a dream match?
>>728967774I played one of the games decades ago, but only fairly recently did I learn about the crazy backstory was the UN banning electricity in 1999 because of THE PROHPENCIES OF NOSTRADAMUS and shit So now I wanna deep dive
>>728969152> just a dream match?p much. someone had a wacky idea for a 2v2 fighting game so they hacked it together and rather then have more story stuff the console release had a custom character thing with robo ky 2, this game had less then a year of development
>>728971697shame they wasted cool characters and stages, it should been a new story to tide people over between the 2D fighters and 2
>>728973129I expect a guilty gear accent core +R to the max edition which ports all the isuka stages and robo ky 2 into the game sometime in the next 20 years if arcsys doesn't go out of business
>>728966201Hahaha
Overture essentially soft-rebooted the story of the series, so basically nothing important happens in GGXX or AC+ in retrospect.
>>728976065but... those were all the most famous and best games...
