Looks like Saya is returning as a villain.

I doubt she's going to be a solo unit this time. I think if Reiji and Xiaomu are gonna come back as the main characters, Saya would be a good fit to be the main villain.

Here we go:
Shops are back from Namco X Capcom, as is Sylphie from Capcom's Forgotten Worlds. Not shown if she's playable, but she acted as both a shopkeep and ally in NXC so maybe...
Skill Upgrades
You can upgrade individual skills with the "CP" (Customization Points) you get after a battle.
Auto Skills
These have to be obtained and equipped into slots. Probably similar to Final Fantasy IX.
There is also a new villain that's a bunny and ablue haired girl I cannot identify:
Wait, the blur haired girl is Miyuki from the old Namco game Ordyne. She's also a shop keeper.

Well at least we got a bit of info on the villains and some features. I guess all we can do is wait until Tokyo Game Show for more new info which is next month.
EDIT: So the new villain is called Sheath:

Sheath has been revealed to be from the North American branch of Ouma, the organisation that Saya works for. I would say that it's likely that Ouma will play a bigger role in this game, and the details of why they do what they do will be revealed (Hell, we might even see the organisation's true leader as the main antagonist). It could be that this will conclude the Namco crossover saga, and then Ouma's universe-screwing shenanigans that have been occurring over the course of the series will be undone.

Well, we are getting new information within this month since Namco will be present at the TGS event. Hoping we get at least a new trailer and some new character pairings and solo units there.

Maybe. The Japanese collector's edition says "10 YEARS OF NAMCO X CAPCOM" on it so they sure do want to celebrate.

Also, there's the game's subtitle; Brave New World. I think that was the name of the theme from Namco X Capcom.
When you think about it, Ouma and Saya have probably been the real villains all along, but just haven't played big roles in the games as baddies post Namco X Capcom. The only reason why Saya teamed up with the heroes is because Due, Drei and Ein were using her soldiers without permission, wasn't it (and because she's pretty popular and stuff)? I think it would be cool if they were doing more villainous plans off screen and behind the scenes.
Zink Imp
Smash Ace
Yeah, it is. Seems they dropped the subtitle outside of Japan, though. Plus with Reiji and Xiaomu taking the spotlight again, chances are Shinra and Ouma are gonna take some big roles again.

Segata Sanshiro, whoa what the heck. That came out of nowhere. Sounds like he'll be a fun character though. xD

Probably. Would like to see Devillote come back as well.

There's no confirmation or any real information, but I'm assuming everyone announced today is a solo assist. Everyone is saying that the blog says Sanshiro is a solo, but I haven't read anything about everyone else.

I wonder if we will get further info at TGS?
I guess the Famitsu pages will be just enough to know when they surface in a few days.

If we can have Segata Sanshrio, surely we can have Pac-Man.

This thread is pretty much the only reason I continue to go on this site, unless there's big news relating to the actual games. The Smash Bros discussions all bore me to tears.

Segata makes to an official videogame once again before Reggie. I'm amazed.
Still, kinda lame they all Solo but again, I presume this is due fanservice over making up for the lack of moves. Ah well, at least I can see why Ogami and Sakura ain't in the same team.

This confuses me.
True. I just want more Jin love considering his series hasn't been referenced since Marvel vs Capcom

From what I read, the second page lists the solos that has been announced and the villains on top which has yet to be seen.

That first pic in the second page's top looks a lot like Baby Bonnie Hood, honestly.

I thought one of them looked like Sigma.
Anyways, about my earlier post on Time Crisis reps, I think one view had changed a bit based on what I saw from Time Crisis 5.
It turned out that the guy who took the briefcase was indeed Keith Martin (an agent from Time Crisis 2), he was tracking and hunting down the traitor, who surprisingly turned out to be Robert Baxter.
So, based on this, this is how it would look like if they were in Project X Zone 2:
Pair Units: Luke O'Neil & Marc Goddart
Solo Unit: Keith Martin
Villain Unit: Robert Baxter

It is pretty ironic, but there aren't many forums that cover this game imparticular. I still like the Smash Bros news topics of course and some of the cool stuff on the home page, but as for all of the 'This character should get in over that character because otherwise it would be a waste of a slot' stuff which basically covers around 70% of this website, I can't be bothered with that.

New screens. Also, Zephyr is now paired with Vashyron and Leanne is now a solo unit.

BIG BAD HOODIE IS IN THE HOUSE. I CALLED IT. 
Also big hoorays for Resonance of Fate-crew popping back in!
I find it really weird how Bonnie Hood seems to be having the robot dudes from Side Arms, BTW. She gonna be a Rival Unit?
EDIT:
Woah, they went there.
They actually went there.
Poor Ichiro.

I find the extreme art-style clash to be one of the best elements of the game. Seeing a character with a realistically proportioned design like Segata or Bruce Wi- *ahem*, I mean, 'Bruno Dellinger' standing next to a character with an anime-esque design like Sakura or Gemini is so surreal.
'Segata Sanshiro' will make an appearance on the Bandai Namco stage at TGS when they get to talk about PxZ2, according to Gematsu's schedules.
Fire Emblem-like support conversations confirmed?EDIT:

Duuude.
I'd love 'em to be a thing since it lets us see interaction between certain characters more deeper and outside of the story. Would mean plenty overhauling the actual system though.

More character interactions can only be a good thing.
Speaking of, I know that the last two games have been entirely story based, but could Namco put in a few minigames so that I can have something to do if I get too angry over a certain level or get bored of scrolling through the character encyclopedia?... I'm just kidding, the encyclopedia never got boring. ^_^

It's part of every crossover's charm, Smash Bros. included.
I'd say Smash has an even bigger art style clash than Project X Zone.
Anyway, having played the first game, I'm really looking forward to this one. Interesting how some of the solo units are now part of pairs (Vashyron, Flynn) while some previously paired characters are now solo (Leanne, Pai Chan, Alisa).
It appears this roster is also bigger than the previous game and overall, the game seems more ambitious, perhaps with higher budget. The fact it was announced internationally helps as well. They're also including more characters popular outside of Japan rather than catering entirely to the Japanese.
I wonder if the game will be dubbed in English. As long as it has the option for Japanese voices, I won't mind. Not against English dubs, but I'd rather have consistency since I played the first game that only had Japanese voices.
