'''''VideoGame/BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma''''' is the third and reportedly final installment of the series by ArcSystemWorks, fresh off from [[VideoGame/Persona4Arena their fighting game collaboration with Atlus.]]

* SuperMode: The new "Overdrive" that replaces the Gold Burst system seems to take this effect. Rather than serving as an out-of-combat burst attack, it now serves to set the player into an Install-like mode that enhances their unique attacks. Ragna's previous Install Distortion, Blood Kain, now falls into this mode.

This new sequel does away with many of the old systems and adds in new mechanics. The Guard Primer system, originally modified from the Guard Libra system, is nowhere to be found, replaced by a new attack for each character known as a ''Crush Trigger'', which allows the character to instantly break the opponent's non-Barrier Guard at the cost of 25% heat, making them equivalent to the Force Breaks (or EX Attacks) of ''Guilty Gear''.

This new sequel (No, not ''version'', '''sequel'''.) does away with many of the old systems and adds in new mechanics. The Guard Primer system, originally modified from the Guard Libra system, is nowhere to be found, replaced by a new attack for each character known as a ''Crush Trigger'', which allows the character to instantly break the opponent's non-Barrier Guard at the cost of 25% heat, making them equivalent to the Force Breaks (or EX Attacks) of ''Guilty Gear''.

Each character also has new moves and balance changes, and their sprites have been totally redrawn from the ground up. Some characters also wear new outfits, such as Noel, who has discarded her military gear completely, and Tsubaki, [[PaintItBlack who now wears her previously Story-exclusive black uniform after becoming evil]].

* '''[[DudeLooksLikeALady Amane Nishiki]]''', an androgynous man who has CampGay written all over him and fights with a scarf like [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Rose]]
* '''[[ActionGirl Bullet]]''', a female mercenary who might be linked to Makoto, as they share similar fist-oriented fighting styles
* '''[[BloodKnight Azrael]]''', a TallDarkAndHandsome mysterious yet seemingly sinister man who enjoys fighting, using a rushdown style

The game is set for release in Arcades in Winter 2012.

Every character from the previous games return, with the exception of Lambda-11 (who died in the previous game) and Mu-12 (who was a SuperpoweredEvilSide). In their place, however, are 3 brand-new characters:

* HeyItsThatVoice: HirokiYasumoto (aka [[StreetFighterIV Guile]] and [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Asura]]) is back as the burly and bloodthirsty Azrael.

* BreakMeter: While the old Break Meter remains in place, the new Crush Trigger uses 25% of the character's meter in order to shatter the opponent's standard defenses.

The most drastic change, however, is the Burst system. Defensive Bursts remain, but Gold Bursts have been removed and replaced with a brand-new technique for each character: Overdrive, a SuperMode that increases a character's power and enhances their drive, its effectiveness increasing the lower their health is. The effects of each Overdrive are different for each character, and can sometimes give them new moves as well.

The most drastic change, however, is the Burst system. Defensive Bursts remain, but Gold Bursts have been removed and replaced with a brand-new technique for each character - Overdrive, a super-powered form of each character's Drive. Landing a successful Offensive Burst will freeze time and enhance each character's unique attributes or give them new ones for a set amount of time, which increases the lower their health is. The effects of each Overdrive are different for each character, and can sometimes give them new moves as well.
