![]() ![]() You can’t input commands directly to these characters, but instead, you can call them in for an extra combo of attacks while your characters are attacking. These characters can only be teamed up with a Pair Unit outside of battle, so there’s no switching within battles. While this lack of customization may feel annoying, the game does give you the option of switching around the remaining 20 characters, termed Solo Units. Using them causes massive and is extremely helpful in a boss fight. These fill up in a gauge at the bottom of the top screen and these are what are used to cast spells, heal, and use the special finishing moves. When you couple this with support character attacks and solo character attacks, timing becomes very important if you want to earn XP. ![]() Attacking right before they hit the ground brings critical hits.Īlso, every attack sequence of a character contains a different set of motions that bounce the enemies different ways. ![]() More combos mean you gain more EXP and XP bonus after battles. That said, it differs from a fighting game in that here, your goal is to beat down one-sidedly upon your opponent while juggling them in the air for higher combos. However, once you encounter an enemy, the battle changes to what looks like a fighting game screen, with an announcer shouting “Ready, fight!” as the battle starts. On the outset, it looks like a standard strategy RPG, complete with grid system and breakable obstacles. The gameplay itself is a crossover between different genres. It seems like later, chapters are dedicated to certain characters periodically, too, so characters are always drawn back into a spotlight now and then. While a line or two isn’t a particularly deep contribution, it still reminds the players that the characters aren’t forgotten. The game also makes a special effort to try to leave no one out of story events-an astounding feat when there are 60 characters in total to account for. The music also changes when a particular character’s turn comes around. In Project X Zone, though, the characters are drawn fairly consistently, with everything treated with the same amount of humor, similar type of art (I suppose it is impossible to completely standardize Mega Man and Resident Evil to one style), and same vivid expressions and poses that bring the game to life. Furthermore, their original art varies from anime-esque to cartoon-ish to realistic. No - just no Koei Tecmo: if we get a true fourth publishers reps its gotta be these peeps.One thing I will say the game does well is seamlessly draw all these series together-not an easy thing to do, as some of these games were from the NES era, and others from the modern generation of consoles. Valkyria Chronicles 1/2/4 - Whichever one or a mixture of 'em. We need some actual villians from the series this time? And an ally or two as well. Shenmue - Honestly while its inclusion in PXZ2 was nice it felt more like an afterthought. Sakura Wars - new games cast or no Sakura Wars at all. Resonance of Fate - as much as I like 'em an their battle tunes, drop 'em. Phantasy Star Universe - seriously where the heck is this at? House of the Dead - considering all the zombie love PXZ games have thanks to RE lets get this in here! Xenosaga - either kick it out or have more than boring old Kos-mos/T-elos and their generic fodder Gnosis baddies. Urban Reign - gotta have one of them lowkey "remember this?" "no" games! Lets get some other Tales of people in here! Tales of Not-Vesperia - That crews well played out by now. SRW OG - Bring back Sanger Zonvolt! Dude was wild! ![]() God Eater 3 - This ones pretty obvious right? A shadowy organization that wants to digitize humanity would sit well next to the various other crazy evil organizations the PXZ games have included. hack// - Time ta give some love/closure to this series. Okami - Amatersu was already in one crossover game so why not bring her here as well?! Seeing as how often bosses in PXZ games keep coming back Orochi is a no-brainer. Give them the boots an bring in some more cyber world reps. Mega Man Battle Network - I feel like after PXZ2 X/Zero are played out at this point. God Hand - characters from this would fit in absurdly well with this universe! Devil May Cry - bring on Nero! Boot out that lamo Vergil while you're at it. ![]()
