Well, sure, it's geared towards MB players. But an arcade release is geared towards those arcade MB players who value the competitive aspects of the game, first and foremost. What content of that sort which may be present in arcade release will likely just be recorded and put on Youtube/Nico soon enough for people to enjoy, relish for a little while and then go back to playing Vs.
I am not so quick to push that off... for two reasons. First off, the competitive nature of the game pretty much comes with the genre. If you even dare call any game a fighter, then that is something that you have to take into account. And given how long MB has lasted in that environment, I don't think that FB would be shy about having that in the game. So it bought that it would be so much of a worry.
Second, again... The MB fanbase is a little larger than the hardcore players. With another game from the same makers, you have to assume that they are some expectations with the release. Being somewhat "VN-like" would be one thing that MB had from way back. That said, what is in the Arcade release of it and the Console port are two different matters. It's a fighting game, so FB will only relay get away with so much before it detracts from the action... In the Arcade that line is much finer than for consoles. At best, it's simply going to be a strict "story" for the Arcades since the action itself has be to in people's eyes and upfront.
If the Persona fighter can have a breakdown like that, surely UNIB can do the same.
But anyway, I like scythe dude. Can't wait to see him in motion.
We'll see what P4U does when it get out here, but I would somewhat expect that a bit.
Orie does look curious, I would like to see more of her in action.
They've already mentioned their heavy interest in ps3 port multiple times, I dunno why this is even being questioned.
They want to do doesn't mean that they will, and honestly.... After the "NESiCAlive speculation"....
I would question it.

Just a summary of the official website's updates and some character profiles. Still in Japanese but text form so you can google translate that if you want. Bad summary of what I got of the story,
In the year 20XX it's widley accepted that science can disprove any strange phenomena in the world. However in later years rumors begin to emerge about 'Cannibal Shadows' aka UNREAL BLACK THINGS. If a human has his own shadow eaten by the Shadow, they become Night Hollows that forever wander the earth as dead zombie things.
Hyde's your typical sword-wielding Japanese highschooler. No real interest in trivial things and doesn't give a crap about some silly rumors of cannibal shadows, yet somewhere in his heart he yearns for excitement and adventure in his life. As luck would have it, one day while walking home from school Hyde encounters an UNREAL BLACK THING quickly approaching him. Linne, a girl on a mission, encounters Hyde by chance and saves him and they form a companionship to fight off the remainder UNREAL BLACK THINGS.
Are we sure that Nasu has nothing to do with this project?
