Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- marked Arc System Works' return to its flagship fighting franchise seven years after the last entry and ten years after the last Guilty Gear 2D fighter. With all the hype built around how it plays and how visually stunning and stylish the game is, it's easy to forget how much depth is poured into the back story of Guilty Gear.

This list is just a few of the things you may have missed on your way to round one.
