Honestly I really like this one just for the fact that it's eye-catching. Anyone who recognizes the two characters but not the game will check out of curiosity, and then be interested when they realize it's totally legit.
Nice, but it would make sense to keep Sakura's face as is - the earliest promotional efforts for the game when Segata was revealed heavily acknowledged that one commercial where they're together.
Just got through the demo a second time. I'm way behind x.x; Gonna super catch up today an be prepared when I come home with the game tomorrow!
Is it just the demo which has 8 save slots or the full game as well? I remember the original having like 12 or 15 was it? Oh an does difficulty keep rising through each Clear+ ?

It keeps getting harder with each clear (I just finished my 6th today), but on the other hand that means you get more EXP from the fights and get more moves and skills over time due to the level ups.
I find myself trying to finish fights with a single move from my pair units, using assists to try and continue the attack as the 1st move ends, and only resorting to further attacks after the assists are done, so that maybe I'll get a stronger attack later due to not using it - it's a bit at odd with how in PXZ1 I'd just have everyone attacking at once to maximize damage/hits, but the way I'm doing it right now gets me practically no cross hits.
I've also been reluctant to use supers since at these early stages they're certain killers that are probably, well, overkill for the demo's opponents.
I gotta find a way to balance the issues above to come up with something of a strategy from when the playthrough for the actual game begins...
Speaking of actual game, hadn't someone committed to create an |OT|?

For the umpteenth time, yes. We're working on it. BlackJace is working on banners, and I'm not going to rush him.
We're aspiring to have it up tonight, tomorrow at latest.

Project X Zone 2 |OT| Where is the OT?
Fair enough - I just figure people would understand if the only images are a logo from the official site and a screenshot of the Segata Sanshiro Sakura Taisen 2 ad, and the remaining banners are edited in later.

Only get one chance to make a first impression. And I really don't like slapdash OTs.

Got the last of the banners(props to BlackJace), OT should be up this evening.

Got my codes from amazon! The game will be delivered tomorrow. Just enough time to glance at it and redeem my codes before it gets shelved while I play Digimon and Fire Emblem.

so, is anything missable in the game?
I think nothing is missable. Characters all join you while progressing the game, and items in treasure chests can be bought from the shop later.

perfect! thanks, this'll make for an excellent commute game then
Just amazing.
Hahahahhaha. This is too good.
I read the previous game's sales outside Asia really helped with ensuring there'd be a sequel that would be localized in English, but I wonder to which extent those magnificent fanboy devs know how good this localization work is, holy damn!
The promotional efforts for the game could just consist of screenshots like these and some combat animations, in an ideal world that would be enough.
Finished Prologue 1 in the real game. Already I'm noticing several minor differences from the demo. For one, the target indicator for facing the front of someone has changed from green to blue. For another, Reiji and Xioumu's Super has had its music "fixed" for lack of a better word. Before when doing it in the demo, it'd just be Arisu in Wonderland played from the beginning again, but NOW they seem to have properly replaced it with the Path of Certain Victory arrange.
Gonna keep going.
(Also the original PXZ1's greatest strength was the dialogue between characters being localized pretty damn well, in my opinion. Nice to see nothing's changed in that regard.)

Bleh my gamestops randomly closed today so no game for me ;.; All that rushin' ta finish the demo 10 times for nothin!
Sounds like the first game then but there has ta be a limit on high the baddie stats can go?
Thats one ugly theme! Would be loads better without the paragraph of copyright text on the top but theres no saving the bottom.
For those of you who speak French and don't have the game (yet), I took a bunch of screenshots showcasing some of the funny dialogue in the game: http://www.gameblog.fr/news/56888-project-x-zone-2-les-improbables-dialogues-sega-namco-capcom
I'm really having a blast with this game (the French translator mistranslated the Shenmue forklift joke though, he probably didn't know Shenmue).

Well, good thing i can make my own project X zone 2 theme using homebrew
Yeah, that copyright text is horrific. Do they TRULY need all that crap there? Meh.

78 on Metacritic right now
Original had a 70.
Obviously time will tell since X Zone 1 has far more reviews.
At any rate the English localisation is hilarious.

Eh, this is one of those games where metacritic is worthless. It's a niche title for fans, and will never meet mainstream standards of what a game should be. Like Earth Defense Force 4.1 -- a game that is FUN as hell, but most people will not even try because metacritic says it's a 63.

so, can anyone explain mirage cancels to me?
Since we're posting screengrabs:
Lol. Welp, i'm impulse buying the shit out of this game tonight.
Enemy stats stop increasing past the 10th clear. I tried to gun for completion 11 and noticed absolutely no difference in the levels of enemies in Chapter 2, so its safe to say the cutoff is there.
Also the music and sound effects are what make the theme for me. My bottom screen's covered with apps anyways, so it doesn't matter to me that much. What IS of note is that with every scroll left and right, the portraits that are there change. Seems to rotate between portraits for Xioumu, Reiji, and Chizuru.
Finally, a small update on my end: Finished the last prologue chapter. I'm not rushing through the game at all, by the way: I take the time to read new Crosspedia entries and the like. I'm just constantly cracking a smile on my face like, all the time...
