 * God Eater 2 : Gun Mechanics Changes


 * Guns do not necessarily specialize in the same bullet type anymore; for example Sniper Guns do not use lasers in the demo.
 * OP cost reduction has been abolished. Restriction of Bullet types able to use for each gun has been implemented instead.
 * Trajectory length changes appear to have been abolished as well.
 * All Aragami bullets now have corresponding bullets for each gun type. e.g Blast Gun type, Shotgun type.
 * All Aragami bullets that are obtained, through devouring and otherwise will now correspond to the gun type. This is even regardless of whether it was passed from another God Eater.
 * Condensed Aragami Bullets can now be fired freely; firing them off will not use up the Burst bar.

Blades
Blades that specialise in Sunder and Pierce. Fastest attack rate, allows cancels into Advanced Steps or Advanced Jumps anytime during a ground combo. Ground combos can reach a maximum of 5 hits (any combination of Square/Triangle); the last hit can be replaced with a Combo Devour. The ground combo can be ended off at any point with a R+X gun-form change. Air combos can reach a maximum of 3 hits (Square) per jump+diving attack (Triangle). The diving attack can chain into the second ground combo. Step cancelling can be used to traverse terrain quickly.
 * Short

! scope="col"|GE2 Changes ! scope="col"|New Abilities ! scope="col"|New Commands
 * Aerial Step - limited to one per jump, it is now possible. It can be used as an Advanced Step.
 * Five Combo - the last triangle hit is no longer an overhead attack and is now a piercing stab.
 * Five Combo - the last triangle hit is no longer an overhead attack and is now a piercing stab.
 * Five Combo - the last triangle hit is no longer an overhead attack and is now a piercing stab.
 * Rising Edge (R+Square) - do a somersault attack that can be chained into air combo. Does not consume stamina, but stamina recovery is halted while it is performed.

Blades that specialise in Sunder. Average attack rate, allows Impulse Edge, which fires a specific bullet for every cast during Blade Mode (R+Square). The bullet is fixed depending on the weapon, although it is of a single element (Blaze/Freeze/Spark/Divine/Recovery), and is either Bomb, Radial, or Shot. Using the Impulse Edge consumes OP and stamina per cast. Ground combos can reach a maximum of 4 hits (any combination of Square/Triangle); the last hit can be replaced with a Combo Devour. The ground combo can be ended off at any point with an Impulse Edge or R+X gun-form change. Air combos can reach a maximum of 2 hits (Square)+vertical spin attack (Triangle) per jump. The vertical spin attack can chain into the second ground combo. The Impulse Edge can extend one's combo extensively and can help with staggering (this is dependant upon one's OP and Stamina gauge and consumption rate). An effective combo chain would be described somewhat like this: 3 hits+Impulse Edge+3 Hits+Impulse Edge+3 Hits (you notice you're almost out of stamina)+(finisher) Impulse Edge/Devour/Gun-Form.
 * Long
 * {| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="WIDTH: %"

! scope="col"|GE2 Changes ! scope="col"|New Abilities ! scope="col"|New Commands Zero Stance (R+Square) - an offensive stance that cancels the combo, much like guard cancelling, allowing infinite combosa, except that stamina is recovered when it is performed. Pressing R+Square while in this stance fires Impulse Edge as per normal. It can be used as a makeshift travel by canceling dashes.
 * Impulse Edge - No longer consumes stamina, is restricted to Radials (Blood Arts may change this) and does much higher damage. The damage type seems to be locked to the weapon and is no longer a seperate attribute.

Blades that specialise in Crush and Sunder. Slowest attack rate, allows Charge Crush, which does extreme damage, as well as cancels into guards at anytime. Charge Crush takes a few seconds to charge up, during which you are immobile and vulnerable (hold Square). If you release the charge early, you will do a normal attack, otherwise, you will do a powerful attack which has double the range of your normal attacks. Charging and holding the charge consumes stamina. Ground combos can reach a maximum of 3 hits (any combination of Square/Triangle); the last hit can be replaced with a Combo Devour. The ground combo can be ended off at any point with a R+X gun-form change. Air combos can reach a maximum of 1 hit (Square)+downward smash attack (Triangle) per jump. The downward smash attack can chain into the second ground combo. The afterdelay of Charge Crush can be reduced significantly by Guard Cancelling.
 * Buster
 * {| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="collapsible collapsed wikitable" style="WIDTH: %"

! scope="col"|GE2 Changes ! scope="col"|New Commands
 * Parring Upper (R+Square) - a defense stance that allows you to cancel combos, and thus continue combos infinitely. Stamina is consumed when it is performed. You will guard followed by an attack. Releasing the charge of a Charge Crush early while holding R will result in this attack.

Blades that specialise in Crush. Slow attack rate, allows Boost Ignition (R+ Square), which opens up the rocket vent for boosted combos at the expense of stamina. Whilst in this state, Boost Rush (Square), a high speed infinite combo can be used. Interchangeably, Boost Drive (Triangle), a move that rocket propels the user forward can be used. The Boost Ignition can be ended through Boost Impact (R+Square), a powerful rocket propelled downward smash. Ground combos can reach a maximum of 3 hits (any combination of Square/Triangle); any hit after the first can be replaced with a Combo Devour ending the combo. The ground combo can be ended off at any point with a R+X gun-form change. Air combos can reach a maximum of of 1 hit (Square) + downward smash attack (Triangle) per jump. The downward smash attack can chain into the second ground combo. Boost Ignition can be activated at any time, including while in Mid-Combo. Blades that specialise in Pierce. Fast attack rate, allows Charge Glide, which sends one through distance, and an evasive Back Flip (R+Square) which cancels guards. Charge Glide takes a few seconds to charge up, however you are able to move while charging (Hold Square). If you release the charge early, you will do a normal attack, otherwise, you will do a glide attack to an enemy, which can be chained into the second step of a combo. If done so, the target will incur increased damage as the spear retains its charged sharpened. Charging consumes stamina, but unlike the Buster Blade holding the charge does not. The Charge can be released in midair. Ground combos can reach a maximum of 4 hits (any combination of Square/Triangle); any hit can be replaced with a Combo Devour or R+X gun-form change ending the combo. Air combos can reach a maximum of 2 hits (Square) per jump + diving attack (Triangle). The diving attack can chain into the second ground combo. The usage of an Back Flip, diving attack and recombo combo can be used to extend the charged duration. The evolution of blade attacks, which add additional effects to all manner of blade attacks Most are gained through natural usage of equipment and evolved by using the Blood Art multiple times, while some require specific missions to unlock them. NPCs have their own missions separate from the storyline which when completed, grant them improved Blood Arts. There will be over 200 Blood Arts available in the game. Damage calculation of blades.

 * '''Misc Note: Combo Cancel/Trick Combo


 * The ground combo count can be fooled by pressing the step button (circle) the number of combos you want to skip during the animation of a combo. For example, by pressing with a Short Blade; Square, Circle x2 (or in excess) during the backswing, Square, you can immediately do the end combo/Combo Devour. This trick is known to work with the Short, Long and Buster Blade, and not only enables you to do the Combo Devour much earlier; but also interestingly allows you to chain a Charge Crush into the second combo of an attack. You can also chain a normal devour into the second combo of an attack, however, this can only be done on corpses and not living Aragami.


 * God Eater 2 : Blade Mechanics Changes


 * Ground Combos can now be canceled into devours at any point in the combo, as compared to before where you could only do so as the end of a combo. Combo Cancel is no longer possible with all old blades, Charge Crush and devour. However, Combo Cancel can be done on the Charge Spear to delay the mid-air execution and use it on a press of square on the ground. It is much more difficult to perform however.
 * Quick Form Change is no longer an attack; when you input R+X you perform your current gun's ability rather than the original upward slash.
