Gil, from Babylonian Castle Saga, has joined Namco as the first SOLO UNIT!! Wahoo!1!!!! You may now submit his moveset whenever you like. Please follow the sacred moveset formula of input moves, special moves, and skills. If you need an example check out the Athena Asamiya moveset!

OK TIME TO SUBMIT ANOTHER CHARACTER EXCEPT....

Job 24: Submit a Shopkeeper NPC​

So, in between chapters you get to access the shop. And it's run by special characters sometimes, who will often have some story significance, like Miyuki-chan who gives the party a ride. So, please submit someone to run the shop! There will be three (3) of these jobs, so uhhh yeah! You may submit returning or new shopkeepers, just make sure that they are able to fit in the story in some way and aren't just some nameless rando who sells stuff to you.

Job #24: Shopkeeper


She’d be portrayed here as a Shinra agent who sells weapons to her fellow allies. She’d primarily sell different weapon types to your party…for the right price, that is.

 

[Deleted member]

Nico Goldstein
A major character in DMC5. A talented blacksmith and the driver of the van that takes Nero from place to place. She is seemingly able to get that thing anywhere she needs it. Being a Dante fangirl means she's farily easy to fit into the story, even more so if we add Nero later.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Volo the traveling merchant (Pokemon)

I'm suggesting we make a story here, since he's a traveling merchant who pops up when you least expect it.
wink wink He can act as a merchant in some chapters only to act as an antagonist during the lategame, i'm getting creative.

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Job #24: The Merchant (Resident Evil)

Got a selection of good things for sale, stranger!

The merchant is a mysterious figure from Resident Evil 4. Not much is known about his origins, but he frequently shows up to help Leon by offering to sell his many weapons to him. Honestly the main reason I'm pushing for the merchant is because he's cool and has a funny voice. Also considering he just shows up out of nowhere in RE4, you don't have to come up with any story explanation for why he's there. He's always there for anyone who needs his business.

Job 24

Luchell (Summon Night)

Summon Night is an RPG franchise by Bandai Namco, Luchell is the Merchant Demon.

Job number 24: Kyle Merkulov (Astral Chain)

Kyle Merkulov (though his last name isn't divulged ingame IIRC) is the leader of a group of hackers called the Hermits. This group has pretty much full control over the outcasts of society in District 09. While he isn't an actual shopkeeper in the game, he provides intel for the player in his debut chapter and he has pretty much full control of what goes in and out. There is also a distinct difference in the commercial culture of District 09 (compared to the rest of the game) due to the presence of the Hermits, being focused around LEAN Hermitonic, a suspicious drink. So I think he'd make a great shopkeeper, showing at times and being a chaotic neutral force and chugging his Hermitonic. Kyle would be a natural fit for the shady shopkeeper archetype considering his actions in Astral Chain. He'd be accompanied by his battle theme, Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead) of the Digital Hermit. I also think Astral Chain should get something, but a playable character might be a bit hard to work out considering the naming situation and the fact that avatar characters haven't appeared in either PXZ1 or 2.

Well, mostly yes but Aty was playable in PXZ2 and she can be considered as an avatar character as she has an optional male counterpart named Rexx in Summon Night 3.

well that's embarrassing... lol

 

[osby]

well that's embarrassing... lol

Don't worry about it, there are a ton of characters in those games, you can't keep everyone in mind at all times.

But yeah, I can see why choosing between characters with optional designs can be a problem, especially if one is not clearly more prominent than the other.

The Merchant from Resident Evil is our first shopkeeper!!

Job 25: Who are our Protagonists?
Let's figure out who our leading pair will be. Please refer back to Hadokeyblade 's story proposal for some extra details. These characters will be a pair and will be categorized under the Bandai-Namco characters. If there are any questions please DM me here or on Discord or in the thread!
​

I was thinking a story that would inevitably tie back to our hypothetical protagonists.

Like our two protagonists are siblings descended from an Ex-Ouma europe member and have to defeat the organization their mother was a part of before they can cause their usual brand of chaos around the globe.
I'm not good at filling out the rest of the details. I just know that PXZ2 leaves the plot detail of "Ouma-Europe" in such a way that it feels like a sequel hook of sorts.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I dont really have anything in terms of name or personality, just the concept of them being descended from a person who was in Ouma, and because ouma is made up of people with anyway attributes i picture this sibling duo to have spiky hair with two points resembling animal ears.

 

[Perkilator]

Job #25: The Protags
Well, since my mind is still fresh on the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet reveal, I decided that our protags, in turn, should be from Spain. Their names are Javier Cielo and Valeria Cielo, whose now-missing mother was a former Ouma-Europe member from Spain

• Javier Cielo
  • A bright and positive youth with a jacket in the colors of a house sparrow. He has been practicing fencing for self-defense in the event that Ouma-EU eventually finds him and Valeria
• Valeria Cielo
  • The gruff but loving older sister to Javier, who wears clothes with the coloring of the Iberian imperial eagle. She lives a double life as the luchador Águila in order to raise money for their travels.

 

[airConditioner]

ok gonna close this job but let's say we're always open for further development of these kids

Our protagonists are descendants of Ouma's Europe branch in Spain. The Cielo siblings Javier and Valeria on the run make a fated union with legendary characters from Nintendo, SNK, Sega, Capcom, and Bandai-Namco!

Job 26: Let's Partner up some more Characetrs!​

Yeah we're gonna do this job again. Gonna be the same as last time! Again, we're partnering characters up from the same company. As long as their partner is within the same company, they should be fine to be partnered with. Mixed pairs will come later, and if you feel like a character in this list absolutely needs to be a mixed pair, save them for that job. As always, include who you're pairing together, what game their partner is from, origin, company, etc.

Introducing Fractured Bloodline's HOTTEST bachelors!!

• Sakura Shinguji, from Sakura Wars
• Akira Yuki, from Virtua Fighter
• Ulala, from Space Channel 5
• Morrigan Aensland, from Darkstalkers
• Dante, from the Devil May Cry
• Phoenix and Maya, from Ace Attorney

Resubmitting Nero as Dante’s partner

Job #9 - Nero (Dante’s Partner)
View attachment 344910
For Project x Zone 3, Dante will be partnering with none other than his nephew and fellow co-protagonist, Nero. Nero is the son of Vergil and a former member of the Order of the Swords. As of Devil May Cry V, he’s grown into a more seasoned demon hunter and has joined DMC. Compared to the more laid-back wacky wahoo pizza man, Nero is much more stern and short-tempered, making him the perfect foil for Dante. Nero’s weapons of choice are the Red Queen, a sword that can ignite on fire, and the Blue Rose, Nero’s custom made gun that can fire two shots simultaneously. He also has a cybernetic right arm called the Devil Breaker, which allows him to channel his demonic powers. With Nero becoming even more prominent in the series thanks to his role in DMCV, I can’t think of a better character to pair Dante with than him.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Wouldnt that be the fifth? Since we already have nintendo in this fan roster?

Anyway:

Sakura Shinguji's Partner, is Sakura Amamiya, from Sakura Wars.
View attachment 344884

She first appeared in the newest Sakura Wars game for PS4, and as such hasn't shown up alongside the other girls in crossover appearances, while Shinguji has appeared in both Project X Zone's as well as Super Robot Wars 30 Amamiya hasnt showed up alongside her.

Her backstory is that in her childhood Shinguji saved her life, thus sparking a lifelong adoration. To the point where in the present day Amamiya took Shinguji's old mech now that Shinguji is presumed dead after not being seen for over a decade.

I can totally see Shinguji appearing in the future and meeting Amamiya and the two of them teaming up in PXZ, fighting a certain Sakura wars villain from the PS4 game similar to Kite and Haseo's story in PXZ2.

Reposting this pitch.

Morrigan's Partner - Lilith

Lilith is Morrigan's sister. But it is not a usual family relationship, as Lilith was actually created by Morrigan's father out of part of her soul, in order to contain her power.

Lilith appeared in Namco X Capcom but not the PXZ games. Morrgian got a different partner in each game, Chun-Li in 1 and Demtiri in 2, so we could continue that trend, and we could reunite the pair. Lilith's story could lead to a lot of interesting interactions.

Job #9: Phoenix Wright & Maya

Resubmitting Kage-Maru

Job 9: Akira's Partner - Kage-Maru (Virtua Fighter)

View attachment 344882

Kage-Maru is one of the playable fighters in Virtua Fighter (1993) and just like Akira, appeared in every installment after it. Just like in previous PXZ games, his playstyle is mainly based on his earlier movesets while his design is taken from the latest entry in the series: Virtua Fighter 5.

Kage-Maru was Akira's partner before and for a good reason. Not only does he and Akira have a deep and respectful rivalry for each other's skills, but Kage-Maru is also canonically the fighter with the single most amount of wins in the Virtua Fighter Tournaments, being one of the 3 characters who ever achieved this honor, with Akira being the other.

On top of being a highly popular character and having personal connections to the game's final boss Dural, Kage-Maru also has fun importance to SEGA as a whole. His voice actor Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is the composer for several Sega titles such as Shenmue, and Daytona USA and also sang some of the most iconic theme songs of the company.

Also, ninjas are cool. Enough said.
