What am I in for? Never played the previous one

No

I wish they would've at least given us Axel and Alfimi or something

Yo i heard there was a Project X Zone 2 thread 'round here?

>repetition
>better srpgs exist
Could you name them? I always get so bored I can't play these without abusing the turbo button for turns

>FFT
>Fire Emblem
>Tactics Ogre
>Some SRW games
>Advance Wars

Project X Zone is kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel and right on the border of mediocrity if you're in it for the gameplay

>Fire Emblem
There's like 20 of those games. I can't take you seriously if you consider them all the same game.
What makes those games better?

I actually like this hybrid srpg/"action" game. Wish more games tried stuff like this.

But what's people issue with the gameplay? Is it that it's not 100% pure action, or that the srpg part is not good?

Well, most people gripe with the series as a whole is it gets pretty long. Plus back attacks and SP skills make the game too easy, for most peoples' liking since it allows you to kill bosses in one go.

All of them except for Awakening and maybe the original NES games are better SRPGs than PXZ

PXZ's biggest problem imo is that the balance and pacing are a little fucked and their main method of making later stages harder is giving bosses tons of defense and health so the map drags on for twice as long as it should because you spend 15 minutes beating on the boss before it finally dies

Apparently 2 is better for this but I haven't played it yet

The main draw to these games is the fanservice of seeing all your favorite characters coming together and having wacky banter, if it wasn't for that the game would just be tedious to play

Not a lot of depth to it, desu. Status effects might as well not exist, and then mid-lategame you can just cheese out every stage with Gaius Conflect.

>tfw one-shot the final boss with a massive overkill
It was silly but also fun.

Is it as bad as galeforce + fire emblem awakening?

Since I haven't played Awakening, I wouldn't really know.

SRW characters were busy with moon dwellers.

They still could have put pic related in the game.

Sure Haken and Sanger were busy, but these 2 were not.

Oops, forgot pic

They all suffer from the same problem that PXZ does. Arguably more so.

I played it solely for the dialogue and character interactions. The gameplay, while better than in the first game, is still pretty damn boring.

Memes memes memes and annoying gamer grrl bullshit that retards here excuse because they can't control their dicks and use that precious blood wasted down there to keep their minds sharp.

Same. It takes really long to clear the game because every encounter just feels like a fuckton of padding.

Actually, user-kun. Those only come from Xiaomu, (and a few lines from some misc characters like Natsu) Most of the jokes are video game references.

And yes, it's completly okay for Xiaomu since it's part of her character.

What characters you want for the next game? i want the squid sisters, at first they would speak inkian, but then they reveal they learned japanese from studying the messages sent by the fax machine.

Jack Cayman and Sketch Turner as solo units.
Don't really care about Bamco or Capcom reps tho

I'm surprised they didn't put in Klonoa and Sonic.

>And yes, it's completly okay for Xiaomu since it's part of her character.
Then she is an awful character that should be rejected outright. In addition to being a propaganda laden faux gamer girl, she is also a meme spouting retard.

Can add Langrisser and the 1st 2 front missions to that list too. Disgea though that's a grind fest. The anons right that PxZ is bottom of the barrel SRPG, its a fanservice fest 1st, game 2nd.

Only humanoid characters allowed.

Last PxZ thread made me realize how much I want Axel and Cody to team up.

Wasn´t Klonoa in the PS1 game?
Namco x Something

Klonoa was in Namco X Capcom.
PXZ is a sequel to it.

This nigga, hell, they referenced him in PxZ 1.

Langrisser 2* though 4's alright once you get used to the weird turn system the PS1 version is stuck with.

That doesn't change anything, the humanoid only rule was set starting from PxZ.

The action system when you're attacking an enemy is as deep as a kiddy pool, which becomes repetitive really fucking fast.

Klonoa was in Namco X Capcom once upon a time
youtube.com/watch?v=O1bmjy3qEKs

Keep sonic away, for fuck sake.

>the humanoid only rule
Not that there is a rule like that, especially since they kept Dokugozu and Dokumezu as antagonists.

Those are still humanoid, sonic and Klonoa are "cartoonist"

For playable characters obviously. It's the reason that they didn't put Sonic in despite him being highly requested

That's why I mentioned him and Sonic.
Also Ryu and Teepo

Have to stuff those awkwardly placed bullshit OG characters like Xiamou and Saya in somehow.

>Those are still humanoid
They're less humanoid than those two.

>sonic and Klonoa are "cartoonist"
So are the Space Channel 5 characters.

The actual rule is "not furry PLAYABLE characters".

Can you prove this rule is real?

Well, it is Reiji and Xiaomu's game. It's no surprise that they are in the game and with Saya being their eternal rival, it makes sense that she's in.

Sonic was busy doing another crossover at the time.
It sucked.

To be fair, they weren't exactly the central characters in PXZ1.

Stop justifying stupid bullshit, after all that bitching about Hyrule Warriors I except some fucking consistency and stop thinking with your dick

Fire Emblem and StellaGlow are far better games.

Oh, I thought we were talking about 2. Hmmmm, guess it's because they've been involved in this type of thing numerous times so I'm guessing they'd have to be in there somewhere.

Why wouldn't you have the experts on dimensional rifts in the game?

Wait, what does Hyrule Warriors have to do with any of this?

>All these anons asking for sonic
You realized that would attract the furry fags, right?

I hope Haseo sticks around for the next game as well. Hopefully in his Xth form like how they timeskipped Alisa for PxZ2.

To be more specific I think they aim it more so that a series has to have more of a focus on human enough characters to be eligible, which is why some stuff like Darkstalkers and Sakura Wars is still allowed. If it primarily focuses on furries like Klonoa and Sonic, then it's just not going to mesh well with a largely human cast. This isn't some dumb fighting game crossover where there's no rules for context, they gotta try and write everybody together even if there is a lot of asspull to make it work as it is.

just a shitload and i mean shitload of dialogue with very barebones albeit flashy gameplay. i dropped the first one faster than the second, so idk maybe you'll get a bigger kick out of it

>even if there is a lot of asspull to make it work as it is.
The series is about traversing universes.
They have already encountered Klonoa in the first game.

I don't think there's an actual problem especially given characters like Ciseaux are in.
Personally I don't want Sonic in as much as Eggman.

I rather attract furfags than waifufags with shitty lowest common denominator desighs with barely any effort in them.

>StellaGlow
good taste confirmed

also in Pxz2 demo i had problems doing cross combos did the changed the way you do them ?

Cross combos did get changed a bit to be harder to pull off, but they're no longer the most optimal to do at all times now since they don't build any extra XP anymore.

How PxZ 2 sold in the west?

not good it seems. it was $20 on amazon only a couple months after release.

18,000 units at retail, did pretty decent in japan tho 60% sold. japan sales determine sequel, not west.

Nope, PxZ 2 was made specifically for the west.

Bring back Valkyria Chronicles

We have enough waifushit, thank you.

>made specifically for the west
>no dub
you're thinking of ZTD, m8

>complaining about fanservice in a game that relies on fanservice

Fuck you, furryfag, although there i admit i am sick of the sakura wars characters, put them in a bus.

>i am sick of the sakura wars characters, put them in a bus.
I'll put you in a fucking bus

Well, at least can we get DIFFERENT characters? how about that guy cowgirl is always talking about, shinjiro i think?

oh that's a shame i remember recovering some crazy XP whit megaman/zero and the girl whit the var weapon? forgot her name, i suppose they did that to balance things out ? also made some fucking huge damage

But user we did, its a shitty musou-esque "spin off" now. Aint that great?

Fuck

Because theyre not the staple girls of that series, as much as i agree with you since all the SW main girls were meh to me, specially 1's cast. Sakuras so damn boring.

user, shinjiro is a guy.

Shinjiro was the protagonist of Sakura Wars 5, the only one released in the west, so that would be ideal if they want to appeal to western fans.

>Sakuras so damn boring.
no u

Well, to be fair, they do hog a fair number of spots in the game with 2 main units and 4 villains.

That would be Imca from VC3 and they did balance it out (sorta) in exchange for making them hard to pull off, they fill out the meter super fast.

I think he meant "how about that guy that cowgirl is always talking about".

Oh come on. It doesn't look that bad.

Srw characters returned to the srw world. Yes, PxZ is canon for them.

It's going to fail and we wont see VC4 for a while. VC will go back to mobile for the foreseeable future.

I asked Sega to bring over VC3 in some form when they put out the survey for the remaster. They had a special answer box for it, so they know that people want it. I expect nothing from them though.

user, everything is canon to SRW OG, KH is kids game compared to it

Would a 3D Project X Zone 3 really trigger you?

I want this personally, but realize it will need 1 million sales to even cover the costs

THere's a right kind of fanservice and there's a wrong kind of fanservice
Valkeria is too recent and too deprived of history to be alongiside the greats.

Unless they go for a GGXrd style, yes.

>no u
Sorry user, liked all of 1/2's cast but Sakura was always my 2nd least liked next to Iris who i still cant ever see as any sort of romance option.

Read that wrong, wouldnt be a terrible idea then though hes almost as much a who to everyone else as Ogami is to western players.

>Reila shows her power to the crossover army, scared of their reactions
>gets a big "meh"

>musou-esque
My interest has been activate, for what console?

Except Shin. Because fuck Shin.

I loved that scene and the one before it. It was real goofy.

Ryu and Heihachi being impressed with her spirit power just killed me.

PS4 and PC i think, theres trailers up of the demo, donno bout you but it looks like shit to me, trying to combine VC combat with musou style shit.

Vita, as well.

>japan sales determine sequel
PxZ was more successful in the west and is the entire reason they made a sequel.

nintendoeverything.com/bandai-namco-declined-attack-on-titan-3ds-for-north-america-project-x-zone-sales-much-better-than-expected/

I love musou

Well give the demo a look, the initial release was terrible but they "took reviews of it into consideration" so maybe they made it less of a mess. It's still as much a slap to the face to VC fans as VC1 -> 2 was. Maybe moreso after steam showed yet again, people liked what VC1 was.

I don't have PS4, vita or a gamer PC...

Well, you probably wont be missing much then. It really did not look too good even by musou standards as far as gameplay went.

Fuck you waifufaggot, don't you have a cum encrusted pillow to hump?

Main thing is do you ever have plans on playing xenoblade chronicles?

If no you are in for a great fanservice game.
If yes a walking spoiler

banner when

bump for PxZ 3.

>Sheath porn never ever
just fucking kill me already

Good, suffer, you filthy waifufag.

The fact that Gene has not appeared in any crossover games is a fucking tragedy. I would have plopped him on my team in MvC3 somehow, and I would look for every possibly interaction he has in PxZ.

Devil Survivor

>It's a Newfag tries his hardest to fit in episode

There is literally nothing more adorable. God bless you, newfriend.

>This is a badass mercenary and his 700 year old fox spirit(wife)

You have been on my shit list after destroying several of my favorite franchises by appealing to mouth breathing retards.
You mean this is a complete eyesore of a original characcter do not steal and fapbait.

At least they finally gave Xiaomu tits after a half-dozen games of being FLAT.

She has been cheating with magic, she admits it in the game itself.

I don't ever remember her being flat user. Pretty sure she never flat.

Just because someone isn't a titty monster doesn't mean they are flat.

I want my Pit/Valkyrie teamup already

We're so close since we've gotten Chrom and Lucina in

She was more flat before, she has been cheating with magic.

Obviously Endless Frontier Exceed was the last straw.
youtube.com/watch?v=S6g3ulSTzKY

She had tits in the beginning.

You guys like memes?

Gas all memes

disgaea has terrible balance, grinding at the first level is the most effecient thing to do

I love meme lady

No, I hate memes, and I hate it when I see a fucking meme spouting retard who is better off posting on facebook constantly wastes me goddamn time with her stupid bullshit

Would you fug a meme fox?

Aye, still a decent to lengthy grindfest depending on what all you want to do. In hindsight i probably should have listed soul nomad instead

I would not, could not, fug a fox.

No because I have fucking standards. A foreign concept to you I know.

meme fox is the best fox

So a robot then?

Fuck off waifufag.

no u

Holy shit how have I not seen that one before.

Beats me. Check out all the pre-battle stuff, it's pretty good.
youtube.com/watch?v=_mhpf0WHSLM

>Vashyron

I know his type is the typical ladies man we see in anime but not really used majorly in games. I actually liked his character in Resonance of Fate, but then again their wasn't much for anybody to beat Vashyron in personality in that game.

Don't you have more historical franchises to defile?

Here's one for all the dfc lovers out there.

...

...

I think I wouldn't mind Morrigan's tits if I didn't see a small portion of her shoulder on the right side. It's all fucked up and my brain can't process it correctly, It's fucked

Hayato and Jun team confirmed for PxZ3, right?

Vergil was alot more boring most of the time than I thought he would be. Demitri had more chemistry with Dante than he did, hopefully he'll get replaced with Bayonetta for the next one. Vashyron also worked better as a solo unit, it's a waste to only have his dialogue only against solo unites. Ingrid would make a nice team with Lili from Tekken, since Xiaoyu has been extremely dull in both the games.

Also bring back Frank ;_;

It was cute watching her try to angst it up with everyone being completely disinterested

Anyone have the QR code for the Valkyrie game that came with the japanese version?

What does the QR code do for you?

>alongside the greats
I think the Valkyria series is at a fine place. Certainly could throw them a bone.
But does this game have any megami tensei?

So, PxZ2 definitely improved on 1's formula by a hell of a lot from character interaction, character building, and combat in general.

If they made a 3, what changes/additions would you like to see made?

Some additional improvements to Solo units. They're better in 2 but they are still very weak and limited compared to the Pairs. This is really obvious in NG+ since they hog all CPs yet they barely have things to spend them

Higher difficulty or an unlockable "Ex-Hard" mode like in SRW. The game is a cakewalk but Challenge stages in 2 show that the series can be challenging and gives the player a reason to actually "strategize" and use skills, or be careful about positioning.

Make Mirage Cancels cheaper. Even if you can get 50% back from Red Mirage Cancel, not being able to use it while at lower XP makes it ridiculously terrible. 50XP to cancel one of your moves into an additiona lone would be fine.

Make Solo Units that Guard Break less random. Like holy shit, Phoenix can Guard Break anything immediately, and then you have characters like Ryo who are never worth using, because their full Guard Break isn't until the Grab at the end. Made some of the units stupidly unbalanced in that regard.

Make Poison able to kill. There is no reason for it to have the same low powerlevel as Stun when it's not even a 10th as useful.

Make Down do something else. I don't know what, but I never saw a single reason to use it throughout my entire playthrough of the game.

Cross Break felt like a waste honestly. I might just be using it wrong, but when switching around units every mission to get different dialogues, you don't really have any solid way of setting up how their combo will work. Getting a Cross Break in the middle of an attack and wasting several of the moves as they go on while the opponent is flying around is silly as shit.

>Implying PXZ is better than Awakening
