What is BF2?
BF2 is set 20 years after the first game. In this game, there are two main characters, and stories are drawn from each viewpoint.

In terms of mechanics, Xross Brave Burst (XBB) can be activated by having certain characters on the field. Also, new attack styles are available such as Row attacks.

There's also story quests which have fixed characters to use, being able to evolve Summoner, having enchantments for weapons & unique alternative attacks to certain characters.

Sample pic.

XBB
As mentioned during the Dec burenama, XBB can be triggered once the XBB gauge in the middle is full. Once there, you can select which XBB to use. Afterwards, a minigame starts to fire off the XBB. Win the minigame to fire the XBB.

BF1 Characters
Some characters from the previous game also appear. Also the BGM used for BF2 is in full orchestra so the BGM should be in better quality.

Confirm Summon
As previously mentioned, there is no gacha for premium units in this game. They will be bought directly similar to what JP has atm. The only gacha in the game is in Honor Summon.

Characters
When the game starts, you can pick one of the Four Saints which serve as your starters.



Six Heroes
The original starters are present in BF2 as well. There may possibly be an XBB if they're all assembled.
