Project X Zone 2: Brave New World

[Rie Sonomura]

I think Juri may become a Solo again. Seth was the "true" SF villain in PXZ, so he may be succeeded by M. Bison in PXZ2.

 

[Twewy]

Yeah that was weird the 3 new characters are on the thumbnail but not in the trailer itself.
But trust me, looking at the screenshots they posted to facebook shows they're solos.

I hate to ask, but could you post the screenshots in the thread? On their Facebook I only found their character artwork for Valkyrie.

Thanks. Felicia talking to Erica in her cat suit is actually pretty funny.

is alex kidd playable?

 

[Zink Imp]

is alex kidd playable?

He's in one of the screenshots I posted. But judging the screenshot, he'll probably only make a cameo during Ulala's attack. In the first game when Ulala attacked many old school Sega characters came out to support her. Seems like the same will happen again and they added Alex to the mix.

I am kinda disappointed because I don't see any reason why a console mascot isn't playable but just a cameo

New Famitsu screens today. Reiji and Xiaomu were officially revealed along with a new OC female. Or I think. I honestly don't recognize her.

Japan confirmed to get a special release. And I honestly can't tell but there's some kind of mini game or something in the 4th page? Very mysterious. It looks like Legend of Valkyrie type of game. All for it. I love Valkyrie games.

I swear to god I will get 98 hit combo w/ Solo and Pair Assists on Banpresto if we don't get that. Especially since we're a main target audience now.

I'm hoping. We did get a special edition of the first game so maybe! Bandai Namco has been on a roll with bringing over a lot of Japanese exclusives lately like JoJo ASB and that Jump Ultimate game.

I used to play the original Legend of Valkyrie on my modded PSP during my subway commutes. I'm so hyped for it. Some say that the article says that the mini game is a download code, so even importing the game wouldn't help.

 

[Zink Imp]

Double posting for new trailer. Lots of references to Namco x Capcom here.
Unfortunately it says "early 2016" at the end of the trailer. This is a Europe trailer, but the same will probably go to Americas as well.

 

[_Sheik]

So the game is officially named Namco x Capcom 2 now heh? :v

I am glad Reiji and Xiaomu are the protagonists again. I preferred their NxC appearance over their PxZ one.

My only concern is that the full roster is already revealed. I hope it's not. :T

I'm heading to Japan Expo right now, hoping the game is playable there like it was at E3.

 

[Twewy]

My only concern is that the full roster is already revealed. I hope it's not. :T

I don't know why people are worried about this being the full roster. They keep revealing characters and they start thinking "Okay, is THIS the final roster?"

Don't worry, it isn't the final roster. I doubt Px2 would have half the roster of its prequel.

 

[Zink Imp]

I think it's cool too see Reiji and Xiaomu in the spotlight again.

I honestly think it's better to see them instead of new protagonists. Kogoro and Mii were boring.


Hmm...I wonder if we will see them as well?

 

[_Sheik]

I tried the game out. Same build as E3's. Better sprites, enhanced music, and the dialogues don't make that much more sense in French than they did in the English version (blame it on the demo I guess). A good experience, didn't get to try out Mirage Cancel and it was sorta weird to not get one extra attack once you did each of the attacks available for a combo. Got confused as well by the PC bars and the xp bars.

 

[LucarioDude]

I'm really excited for Project x Zone 2. It is a real shame that the game won't be coming outside Japan until 2016 but that 7+ minutes Japan Expo trailer got me so pumped for it. I'm so glad Phoenix Wright and Maya are a solo unit in the game. Mega Man X using Hadouken, oh my goodness. <3 A real shame Alisa and Soma are gone but Ciel and Nana are cool GE2 replacements. I'm SO glad that Strider Hiryu is finally in it alongside Shinobi's Hotsuma; so perfect. :D

 

[Zink Imp]

Hmph. I just noticed in the Japan Expo trailer that Reiji and Xiaomu have new character art. Every other returning character is keeping their PXZ1 artwork.

 

[_Sheik]

Well, Flynn's and Valkyrie's were non-existent in PXZ1 at all. This time it would seem every Solo Unit is getting their own piece of artwork.

 

[Zink Imp]

Oh yeah that too. Loving Valkyrie's.

 

[CrossoverMan]

So, this new character... How do you know she's an NPC? It would make sense if she is, as her ship could act as a transporter for the playable characters so that they can visit all of the different worlds. I think that Ruby Heart from Marvel vs Capcom 2 filled in basically the same role in her game, though she was a playable fighter too.

I just hope that the story ends up being better than the first game, and it seems that was their first action when designing it, since the devs are always talking about how they want to make the story less repetitive in various interviews.

 

[dezeray112]

I wonder when can we expect further news on PxZ2?

EDIT: More new information:

Returning:

• Chun-Li from Street Fighter
• Ling Xiaoyu from Tekken
• Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers
• Demetri Maximoff from Darkstalkers
• Pai Chan from Virtua Fighter
• Hibana from Nightshade
• Alisa from God Eater

Source: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201508/06084852.html

Notes:

• Chun Li is now paired with Ling Xiaoyu
• Morrigan is paired with Demetri
• Pai Chan, Hibana and Alisa are solo units.

 

[Twewy]

GUYS NEW PX2 INFO: http://nintendoeverything.com/bandai-namco-confirms-several-returning-characters-....oh. He beat me to it.

I'm surprised that returning characters are becoming assists. I'm still hoping Frank comes back though.

 

[_Sheik]

I just wish they had dropped Xiaoyu and Pai. I liked them in the first game, but their return defeats the purpose of the new original pairings that represent their series. Good for Alisa. Still hoping for Frank to come back, too.

I thought they were gonna get the axe too. I have a suspicion that Frank will be paired with Chuck Greene...maybe?
I wonder if the other Alisa will come back as well...Heihachi for sure should be.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

With Pai Chan being solo, I'm kinda expecting Estelle to be solo now too should she return cause I can't imagine the Vesperia trio being incomplete. Maybe they'll introduce Rita and pair Estelle with her.

I'm also hoping that Toma and Cyrille return too.

 

[Zink Imp]

I'm still scared Haken and Kaguya are going to be replaced with the characters from Endless Frontier Exceed.

They might be cool characters but I ding know anything about them since it wasn't localized...

 

[dezeray112]

Also according to the latest blog, we can expect further new info on 20th August and within TGS next month.

I've also came up with some possible pairings, assists and enemies with the Time Crisis series (which I hope they do at least get a part within the sequel:

Pair Unit 1: Keith Martin from Time Crisis 2 & Robert Baxter from Time Crisis 2 & 5

Assist: Richard Miller from Time Crisis 1

Pair Unit 2: Alan Dunaway & Wesley Lambert from Time Crisis 3
Assist: Alicia Watson from Time Crisis 3

Pair Unit 3: Giorgio Bruno & Evan Bernard from Time Crisis 4
Assist: William Rush from Time Crisis 4

Pair Unit 4: Luke O’Neil & Marc Godart from Time Crisis 5
Assist: Robert Baxter from Time Crisis 2 & 5

Enemies: Wild Dog from the Time Crisis series and Wild Fang from Time Crisis 3

What would be your ideal pairings (assists and enemies) for some of the Capcom, Namco or Sega franchises?

 

[CrossoverMan]

Some dream pairings:
Rufus & Bob (Street Fighter & Tekken) - The two fat brawlers from two of the greatest fighting game franchises. Rufus, in this game, could finally realise that Bob is not Ken, and I think the two would team up afterwards. I think Rufus could appear earlier in the game as an enemy boss character and challenge the actual Ken, before reappearing later as a playable character alongside Bob.

Ein & Drei (Project X Zone) - It would be quite interesting if these two returned. Similar to how Saya switched to the side of good to combat a greater evil, I think that Ein and Drei could team up with the heroes to fight the main villain of this game. It helps that the two of them never really seemed that evil in the first place.

Shadow & Shadow Lady (Marvel vs. Capcom series) - Project X Zone contained plenty of jokes and references to the Marvel vs Capcom franchise, so why not include two fighters who actually debuted in the Marvel vs Capcom games? Shadow and Shadow Lady are alternate universe versions of Charlie Nash and Chun-Li respectively who were experimented on by the criminal organisation known as Shadaloo, turning them into freaks. You may think it would be redundant to have two Chun-Lis in one game, but Shadow Lady has tonnes of crazy abilities; she can shoot drills from her palms, fart heat-seeking missiles, generate electricity like Blanka... You can't make this stuff up. I would imagine that they would join the heroes after an inevitable encounter with a Street Fighter villain.

Mega Man & Proto Man (Mega Man) - Do I really need to say anything?

Sonic & Tails (Sonic) - Again, does anything need to be said?

Dream solo units:

Sean Matsuda (Street Fighter) - Ken's student in Ansatsuken. He could join the party of heroes to assist his master, while begging to replace Ryu as his partner. He uses mangled versions of Ken's moves. For example, he performs Shoryukens with two hands instead of one, he can only do hadoukens with massive concentration, etc.

Ruby Heart (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) - Since the original character's ship is probably going to be the heroes' main mode of transportation across universes, I could imagine it breaking down at some point. All hope would seem lost, but then Ruby Heart could come along with her flying pirate ship to help them on their quest.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Is it bad that I kiiiiiinda want Bayonetta and Jeanne as a playable duo from the Sega side? Their sprites would be pixelled anyway so I don't think censorship would be much of an issue, just don't show off too much in the animated cut-ins. I guess either Rodin, Loki, or Young Balder could be a solo assist and Aesir!Loptr as the villain unit.
[raises flameshield]

Others:

Trish from Devil May Cry (solo)

Estellise Sidos Heurassein from ToV (either solo to complete the Vesperia trio now that she and Flynn traded positions, or she'll be paired up with Rita hypothetically if they choose to include Rita)

Asbel and Sophie from Tales of Graces + Richard solo unit

Black Rose or Balmung as a solo unit (.hack)

Alisa Bosconovich and Heihachi returning as solo units (Tekken)

Toma and Cyrille returning plus Rhemsianne as a solo this time since technically she's not the true antagonist of her game (Shining Force...EX I think? I don't remember)

M. Bison as a villain unit (Street Fighter)

And while this isn't unit related I REALLY hope they don't do another chase the goblins mission. I dunno how I lucked out the first time

 

[Champ Gold]

I really hope we can get Bayonetta and Jeanne in there.


Also will there be Amiibo support for

Don't forget Ryu Amiibo support. Not sure if that may happen tho it would be neat

It'll probably be post release of the game via update since we have no idea when the Amiibo is coming?

Probably the same going for Codename:STEAM and FE Fates for

[Zink Imp]

No new characters or anything but interesting tidbits:

Nice! As I've already stated, we should expect further new info on August 20th.

 

[Tikivoy]

All I need is KOS-MOS back, teamed up with someone or even as a solo unit. Will pre-order in a heartbeat if that happens.

 

[CrossoverMan]

I wasn't too big on Juri teaming up with the heroes in the first game. It didn't really make a lot of sense, what with her being one of the most evil characters in not just her own series, but all of the franchises involved in Project X Zone. It just seemed kind of rushed, since she was a very popular character from the moment she was first revealed to the public. Not to mention the fact that she had an absolutely crap solo attack.

 

[shadenexus18]

Strider Hiryu, Ryu, Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Dante and friggin Vergil, Akira Yuki, and the highly underrated shinobi Kage Maru all in the same RPG game!?

Well I got what I wanted. ^^ I'm good! I love Virtua Fighter, Devil May Cry, Tekken, Street Fighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom.

I'm loving this Sega/Namco/Capcom crossover already! I'm glad that there's a sequel! I'm elated!
