Make Sanger Zonvolt playable this time pls. If he comes back that is.
Estelle getting replaced.
I know right! Criminal! The best Tales heroine deserves better. She'll probably just be an assist this time :/
And only ToV characters? Pretty weird, was hoping for another duo or a new assist.

The title should've been updated, that's one thing.
Spanish game company. They might just be helping out with the Spanish release; it says right in the press release that Monolith Soft is developing it, after all.

Nice to see that the West is getting it pretty fast too. Good job on the decision with that. Am curious how did the title sell in the US anyways?

I hope we get Bayonetta/Jeanne here for SEGA!
That'd be crazy sick, now I want that.

I feel like one of the few people that will vouch for this series.
Yeah, it's simplistic, repetitive and the character selection in the first was clearly not designed with western audiences in mind, but just the prospect of all these characters from a load of great series coming together to beat up some random mooks with great animation and over-the-top special attacks is enough to get me through, no matter how dull the storytelling is.
This time around, I'd like to see some sort of animation skip or auto-resolve system in the battle system. Give me a 10% damage reduction and 2 options - meter generation or damage - and just play out the combos in an optimal way and skip the animations. That would still incentivise fighting the bigger battles where you need to do every last bit of damage and would make them throwing dozens of grunts at you per stage more bearable.

Never forget the one inkling of personality Mii had in PXZ beyond her job of "cheerleader gun girl".
EDIT: Forgot to mention, maybe this time around the international releases don't get screwed on multiple songs being cut out of the game like in the first? Even if it's no Brave New World, Wing Wanderer gave some context, however miniscule, to the game, and the entire book ends thing with the game flies completely over the western audience without that song included.
I'm also salt that Rocks didn't make it in the last game...
When Due ate that flan she had left over in the fridge. Literally the first time in the entire game multiple characters got motivated to stop a villain for a reason other than "oh monstars".
This was in chapter 30, I believe.

So I assume Reiji and Xiaomu are the main focus? I'm okay with this. Mii and Kogoro were garbage characters with barely any backstory or personality to them.
The Tatsumaki Zankantou? That would be lmao to see in human form.
Cause Sakura Taisen 3?
Me too, man. Me too. ;__;

Sakura was in that game too, IIRC.

Yeah it seems they're bringing back the focus to them... which should have been in the first place since NxC is their game and PxZ sorta follows that.
And yep, Tatsumaki Zankantou. Maybe Ratsel piggybacks Zanger lol
And I know, but they declared love damnit!

NxC was more of "arcade love". In PxZ it wasn't although Sega did the "arcade love".

wellt he question is if you like fanservice games
Alright, I'm gonna throw out an estimate to see how tolerable length is to certain people.
I'd be ecstatic if PXZ2 was 40 to 42 half-hour missions. PXZ, including Prologues and the final chapter, was 46 missions total, with the second half taking anywhere from 1 and a half hours to 2 and a half hours, which is insane. Basically if you wanted to enjoy the game you stopped saving during intermissions and exclusively used the mid-battle save to stop playing. (which isn't like FE's suspend and is actually a hard save you can resume from at anytime, if anyone's wondering.)
Feel free to throw out your own ideal lengths for how this should work.

I don't really bumrush the game and play it at my own pace, so there's that. Mid-battle save is a blessing though.
With that said, if they made the super bar not universal it'd actually cut a lot of the length. Imagine everyone actually being able to use MAP moves.

That's my point. If you don't mid-battle save you get caught in PXZ's incredibly lethargic rhythm. Taking breaks is paramount to not getting super-burned out.
Also yeah splitting the bar would be a really good idea.

First one looked interesting but I knew basically none of the characters

Or at least, let's you have "stocks" like in KoF. At least let us do multiple MAPs!
It's nice for $15, even if you drop it after 15 hours
whichwasmostpeopole
It's not that "good" it's mostly grinding on the same wheel and the novelty comes from little shout-out type moments. Which can mean a lot, depending on the person.
I'm still hyped because I like the idea of this crossover
I think another issue is that the bar in PXZ not only governed MAP and super attacks, it also governed skill usage, which would normally be handled by stuff like Spirits.
Yeah can these passive skills not have the potentially infinite supply afforded from the X gauge and consumable items and instead rely on something more restricted?
If each controllable unit or group or whatever had their own individual HP, SP, and X gauges I'd be peachy-keen.

I would not recommend this game even for $10.
+ Various characters from different universes
+ Nice animation
+ Soundtrack
- Too linear
- Too long battles
- Almost every unite has same power
- No shops, no towns, can't visit and grind in old levels
It's more like:
Chapter x > Battle > Save > New Chapter > Another Battle > Save > Another New Chapter > Repeat.

A lot of those are standard fare for a fanservice game tbqh
