Project X Zone 2: New World for 3DS
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
The best thing they could do to fix that is cap the number of units you can bring into battle (like Fire Emblem does) and have smaller, less grindy maps.
NO! Improve the gameplay and make the strategic elements more important and the battles more faster.
Basically this... or taking some cues from Devil Survivor
As mentioned in the bannam countdown site, this does now make sense if its PxZ2. Since the other previous 2 games also had the Shibuya area in part of the story.
yo what is this anime
It's Reyn Time? I hope so
Yes, make it a fighting game.

Considering the platform is only 3DS how about no.

I'd like them to get a bit more creative with the pair-ups, too. I don't think anyone should be with characters from their same series.

They should just make it a visual novel this time. Focusing entirely on Bruce Willis.
It's someone you enjoy more for the writing and how it tries to unify the settings - Namco X Capcom did this better, but PXZ still has a bunch of charm and uses all sort of elements from the source games.
It could work as a visual novel for the writing and music alone, but when you wouldn't have things like Erica's "ohayo bonjour" dance being used both as an attack and map buff.
I'm optimistic they'll optimize the battle flow - they've been tweaking the formula across several games:
NxC -> Endless Frontier -> Endless Frontier Exceed -> PXZ
I didn't get to play or see much of the EF games, but for project zone they cut out time spent on regular attacks from non-boss enemies to help make combat faster - maybe for PXZ2 they'll do something like allowing the automation of juggle combo timing or something, letting you skip the whole animation if you've already suceeded with it on an enemy with the same weight class.

Can I Bayonetta, Hatsune Miku and Beat this time pls?
I don't think we need any more Sakura Wars characters.

So who do you tap to do it?
Harada's busy. Dimps needs to release The Rumble Fish 2 on somebody's console & they're on SFV duty.
That leaves either Arc System Works or French-Bread.
It would in a sensible situation fall to French-Bread because they could just take what's already there in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax and work with that.
But I'm down for more PXZ however it comes.
Ah cheers, I think I got passed that? It's been so long since I've played it to be honest haha, I do remember Jin though I think. Would defo still buy a second though if this is true.

I still need to finish the first one. I hope this one gets localized too.

All of Bandai Namco's SRPG crossover games seem to have shit strategy/tactics gameplay, so I won't be surprised if the gameplay is shit.

Going to flip a table if Sonic & Pac Man & Mega Man (Keep X) arent in the game... Specially after this.......
And...
Also bring Klonoa Back!!! He was in Namco x Capcom (STRIDER HIRYU TOO)

What I'd really like is the ability to have custom pairs, with special team attacks for specific pairs.
It was nice having a mixed company team in NxC too (King and Felicia), something PXZ lacked.
Or at least the return of Multiple Assaults from NxC.
It still amazes me to this day that NxC got to use Rival Schools but only used teacher characters, and then included Hideo in a team attack with Ryu and Ken for Triple Shoryuken.
I hope the original characters are better this time though - I grew to like the Reiji/Xiaomu/Saya dynamic, but the PXZ originals never quite clicked with me.

I'd say it's worth a go. The gameplay can get repetitive after playing it for an extensive amount of time but it's good fun in short spurts. Also it's relatively cheap now, you can buy it for $20 on Amazon USA.
I'm actually surprised there may be a sequel for Project X Zone. Didn't it bomb in Japan?

You speak the truth!
My main hopes, and Bayonetta.
Include SNK in the cast and have them handle the battle system.
Man, I'd so love a classic Athena/Valkyrie team.
Ready for another round of:
Warp in -> Characters talk about how confused they are about where they warped to -> Enemies warp in -> Beat up trash enemies -> Boss warps in -> Banter b/t party and boss -> A ridiculous amount of reinforcement enemies warp in -> Chapter title introduction/jingle -> Kill everything -> End Chapter (x45)

Day one
I dunno. Some pairings just make the most sense together, like X and Zero.
And as comedic as it might be to, say, have Bayonetta team up with Trish so that Atsuko Tanaka could be talking to herself? Maybe it would just be best to have her roll with Jeanne, instead.

This is 100% every level. I joked with my friends about how literally every stage they acted surprised when more people appeared a few rounds in. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Strangely love it though...

At least they used Regina from Dingo Crisis as a main. Would be cool if they brought her back.
This was the weak point for PXZ for me - NxC systematized things a bit more, defining 5 major groups of words, and establishing connections within and between them. I'd never expect them to tie something like Bravoman into as much of the Namco world, for example.
If Sega's in this time too, I hope their most ancient character in the cast has een around long enough to debut in a 2D game - it was pretty weird how Virtua Fighter was the veteran series there, while Namco and Capcom could pull out the likes of Arthur and Valkyrie.

No Xiaomu no purchase
What are you going on about? Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle for PS3 is a great musou-like game.
