Neat
is this worth playing
I caught this thread, and my life is better for it
>>736774638I tried it. I prefer Endless Frontier, much better combat. play that if you haven't
>>736774148Brave New World is peak 2000s energy,
>>736775183alright, thanks
>>736774638The time it takes to clear one map is absolutely goddamn fucking slow. It's like SRW, but everything takes forever.
>>736775183>>736775792You could watch a playthrough or read a script. It's lots of fun.Project X Zone 1 and 2 are better takes on the formula.
>>736775183I agree with that. Endless Frontier is a lot more fun.
Xiaomu!
>>736774638You'll enjoy it far more if you know about the characters, but Kos-Mos is so broken that she makes this game trivial. Seriously, as long you keep nailing down the arrows minigame everytime you get attacked, you could pretty much solo the game with her.
I hate Mitsurugi so much.
>>736776627WAVE!!!!
>>736774638Fun for a few hours but gets old fast. The referential humor and writing can only entertain your curiosity for so long.
SMOKE BOMBHOAAA
>>736774638every single fucking map takes 5 frieza minutes to clear but otherwise its okay
>>736774148This artwork is so good.
>>736774638Story for Namco X Capcom and Project Cross Zone 2 are good but PXZ 1 is terribleGameplay for PXZ2 is good but NXC and PXZ1 are terribleAll three are connected story-wise and also canonically tied into Super Robot Wars OG so you have to play those too to get the full story, and most of OG hasn't been released in English
>>736778284>>736776256It's really amazing how they actually listened to what fans said about PXZ1 and fixed every single problem in 2.
>>736776627For me, it's Suzuka-hime
>>736778348PXZ2 is censored piece of shit but OP was amazing. Releasing in west was a mistake.>>736778392Fuck you cutting supers and reducing jiggle isn't good you cancer. Selection was better in 1 too.
>>736779081>schizopostinglol.
>>736779081Cry some more coomer
>>736779081I hope every game you like gets god eater cocoons that don't move and unit-based turn order so you need to skip 90 turns total to get to that one last enemy and clear the stage
>>736776627Wait, was Xiaomu that flat before?
I love X and I love Zero!
>>736774148is this the same guy that draws for Soulcalibur?
>>736774148Thanks for informing us about this. Always loved this track.
>>736779459Yeah, it's Takuji Kawano.
>>736774148>High quality Instrumental/karaoke version that isn't the early versionHoly based. Thank you, OP.
>>736780714The best part about that is I can pester people to cover it now.
My cute Valkyrie wife.
>>736781056She looks like she fucks orcs
>>736781636Too small for her.
>>736774148Is that Stahn Aileron on the top right?!?
>>736782072Yeah, he also appears in the opening.
>>736774148I wish they also released an HD remaster of the opening.
>>736776627When will we see her in 3D, anons...
PXZ1 > PXZ2 >>> NxC.
>>736774148Reiji is so cool bros. Definitely one of my favorite characters. Also PxZ3 soon?
I hope none of you have forgotten about the EF EXCEED translation patch.
>>736784608How much better is Exceed than the original?
>>736781732She's interested in Ninjas anyway.
>>736784601Soon... I really hope so. It's been 10 years since 2.
>>736774638Its kind of a slog cause the enemy turns take forever.Its also braindead easy just like PXZ and PXZ2 unless you give yourself a self-imposed challenge.Its a real shame cause mechanically, this game is way better than both PXZs, if it just cut down on the time enemy turns take instead of making them as long as, if not, longer than player turns, it'd be perfect.>>736778348Gameplay for PXZ1 is best. PXZ2 enemies and bosses all die way to quick, everything can go down in a single attack.
>>736787746>>736779237
>>736774148I’ve loved that song since they played the opening cinematic for NXC on Cinematech Nocturnal Emissions probably 20 years ago. I had no idea Yuzo Koshiro composed it though, that blew my mind.
>>736787746PxZ gameplay is too simple and doesn't give advantages to the player at all.
>>736774148thank u Koshiro, very cool! ^-^
>>736784842It's not an expansion like Final Mix, if that's what you're asking.
>>736789919PXZ2 is the same gameplay but now every enemy and boss insta dies to back attacks. Its way too easy, even if you don't use items at all.
>>736791917>PXZ2 is the same gameplay but now every enemy and boss insta dies to back attacks.That's better in a game like this, you could dump everything in 1 and do a super and still barely do damage.And you could always go harder if you think this was too easy.
>Kamiya was a total faggot who didn't allow Bayonetta to be in PxZ2At least the asshole regretted it later.
>>736793010>That's better in a game like thisNo it isn't, it makes no sense for these enemies to be treated like big threats in the dialogue and then get folded in one hit.>you could dump everything in 1 and do a super and still barely do damage.Gee, its almost like you've got a full squad of 15-20 people to deal damage with or something...>And you could always go harder if you think this was too easy.What like playing a different game? That's about the only thing I could agree with you on, 2 isn't really worth playing, the shit's been turned so easy that you might as well skip the gameplay entirely and watch a cutscene compilation on YouTube.
>>736793808>No it isn't, it makes no sense for these enemies to be treated like big threats in the dialogue and then get folded in one hit.And it makes no sense for you to take several turns to beat a fucking regular zombie.>Gee, its almost like you've got a full squad of 15-20 people to deal damage with or something...It's a strategy game dude. You're supposed to use 15-20 people across the map, not on one guy.>What like playing a different game? That's about the only thing I could agree with you on, 2 isn't really worth playing, the shit's been turned so easy that you might as well skip the gameplay entirely and watch a cutscene compilation on YouTube.Wow, you are dumb. Project X Zone 2 has difficulty select as new game plus.
>>736794526>And it makes no sense for you to take several turns to beat a fucking regular zombie.The standard fodder enemies die with two people attacking them, or if you land your crits/have a pair specced for atk, it takes one person.>It's a strategy game dude. You're supposed to use 15-20 people across the map, not on one guy.You're not supposed to have everyone be capable of soloing everything either. Bosses should require 5 units at least.>Wow, you are dumb. Project X Zone 2 has difficulty select as new game plus.So does PXZ1, guess what, it doesn't make the game much harder.
>>736795582>The standard fodder enemies die with two people attacking them, or if you land your crits/have a pair specced for atk, it takes one personSo again, you have to dump resources. And let's not forget that you have to do this for Every. Single. Enemy. And most enemies in the endgame aren't fodder either.>You're not supposed to have everyone be capable of soloing everything either. Bosses should require 5 units at least.But you can't solo with everyone. Because that requires resources you wouldn't have.>So does PXZ1, guess what, it doesn't make the game much harder.PxZ1 doesn't have a difficulty select to make the game easier.And yes, it does. Have you even played through it?
>>736793539I understand his reasoning, he wanted them to be in an action game together first. It was big of him to admit he fucked up though.
>>736774148Huh I've only heard of Project X Zone before.
>>736796481>So again, you have to dump resources.No you don't. Having someone equipped as a damage dealer or landing your crits doesn't take resources at all.>But you can't solo with everyone.You absolutely can, they only put like 20 enemies on each map at most with like 2 bosses, the game was so casualized to comply with people who didn't like the series in the first place its not even funny.>PxZ1 doesn't have a difficulty select to make the game easier.It doesn't need to be easier, all these games are already easy, like if the series is Kirby, PXZ2 is Kirby's Epic Yarn, they made it so easy its not even fun to play.>And yes, it does. Have you even played through it?I dropped PXZ2 20 some chapters in, in favor of playing NXC instead and never cared to go back.
>>736780425Was SonSon in these games? What's with the random SonSon post? You don't mind if I save this do you friend?
>>736797293>No you don't. Having someone equipped as a damage dealer or landing your crits doesn't take resources at all.Yeah, so boosting 1 character up. What happens to the rest?Landing crits doesn't even boost damage that much, because only a few attacks will even crit for every move.>You absolutely can, they only put like 20 enemies on each map at most with like 2 bosses, the game was so casualized to comply with people who didn't like the series in the first place its not even funny."Casualized". Lol, so you prefer button mashing mindlessly instead of actual strategy? What strategy game with 40+ units on the ground still uses turn orders?>It doesn't need to be easier, all these games are already easy, like if the series is Kirby, PXZ2 is Kirby's Epic Yarn, they made it so easy its not even fun to play.Not even close, holy shit. You clearly don't know how to play it.>I dropped PXZ2 20 some chapters in, in favor of playing NXC instead and never cared to go back.So you're just bad at actual video games then?
>>736782754That's awesome.
>>736797293Project X Zone 2 has actual customization and shops, compared to just Project X Zone 1 where you just tank everything then spam items.
>>736797728>Yeah, so boosting 1 character up. What happens to the rest?They can work together, it does not take more than two units to kill a fodder enemy, regardless of equipment.>so you prefer button mashing mindlessly instead of actual strategy?There is actual strategy when you don't use items, which is my preffered way to play these games after doing my first playthrough of 1. You have to have dedicated units to build XP, think about speed affecting turn order so the XP buildup units get their turns before your healers, its very fun. Final chapter of 1 on NG+ took me 5 hours and I loved it.>So you're just bad at actual video games thenRich coming from the baby whining that all enemies and bosses in 1 can't be oneshot. 2 is an ultra casualized game in an already casual series.
>>736798041>you just tank everything then spam itemsThis applies to all three games. Its why you need to have do a self imposed no item rule to get any difficulty or strategy out of them.
>>736798323>They can work together, it does not take more than two units to kill a fodder enemy, regardless of equipment.Bitch, Project X Zone regularly has 6 enemies for every 1 unit. Making one character temporarily powerful at the expense of everyone else is not good.>There is actual strategy when you don't use items, which is my preffered way to play these games after doing my first playthrough of 1. You have to have dedicated units to build XP, think about speed affecting turn order so the XP buildup units get their turns before your healers, its very fun. Final chapter of 1 on NG+ took me 5 hours and I loved it.So the strategy would be to ignore the only thing keeping the game tolerable, and take 5 hours to beat 45 bosses. You don't see how that's bad gameplay for a handheld game?>Rich coming from the baby whining that all enemies and bosses in 1 can't be oneshot. 2 is an ultra casualized game in an already casual series.The only baby whining here is you, 2 has actual functioning game design that respects time.>This applies to all three games. Its why you need to have do a self imposed no item rule to get any difficulty or strategy out of them.No, it doesn't. Otherwise I would have gotten away with equipping nothing.
>>736798520>This applies to all three games. Its why you need to have do a self imposed no item rule to get any difficulty or strategy out of them.Not really, because NxC and 1 don't have economies. So the game is balanced around using that only.
>>736798606>Making one character temporarily powerful at the expense of everyone else is not good.Its not temporary, and you get enough equipment to build more than one unit for high damage. Its also not at the expense of anyone.>So the strategy would be to ignore the only thing keeping the game tolerableItems are the thing holding the game back, and this goes for all three games. If you used the consumables you genuinely did not play the game because you did not have to engage properly with it's systems>You don't see how that's bad gameplay for a handheld game?The overpowered consumable items are bad design in all three games. The length of chapters is fine, you can quicksave whenever you want for a reason.>The only baby whining here is you, 2 has actual functioning game design that respects time.And now you're whining about respecting time lol. How about respecting money? 2 was the same price as 1 yet its a much shorter game.>No, it doesn't. Otherwise I would have gotten away with equipping nothing.Play these games with no items, its the only time they shine mechanically at all.Oh wait you won't because you hate them and only tolerate 2 cause its the shortest.
>there's people comparing games instead of being happy for this.Look man, be happy for the games. Don't fight.
>>736799669>Its not temporary, and you get enough equipment to build more than one unit for high damage. Its also not at the expense of anyone.It's temporary and at the expense of everyone because you only have one meter for everyone to use.And most of the best Equipment in the game is found late in the game. So for most of the game you're stuck with +3 Attack.>Items are the thing holding the game back, and this goes for all three games. If you used the consumables you genuinely did not play the game because you did not have to engage properly with it's systems Ok, so don't use any of the health items the game sends you after almost every battle? Forget the XP items to boost the meter for supers and defense? And definitely don't use the status healing items since getting stunned and poisoned doesn't happen often? That's the way the game is meant to be played?Rewlly, you're giving the game even more disservice.>And now you're whining about respecting time lol. How about respecting money? 2 was the same price as 1 yet its a much shorter game. Yes, because before you forget, these are 3DS games. Respecting money is hilarious, because you yourself said you never finished it. So how would you know how long it is?They're both 3DS games, so 40 dollars for 40+ hours is already a bargain.>Play these games with no items, its the only time they shine mechanically at all. >Oh wait you won't because you hate them and only tolerate 2 cause its the shortest.>projecting this badlyI have played both the European Version and Jaoanese version of 1 and 2.You clearly haven't.
>>736799669>Play these games with no items, its the only time they shine mechanically at all. You're not going to get deep gameplay from that, just longer hours.
>>736801052Yeah, if the guy is saying the game is deep by ignoring baked in mechanisms instead of exploring them, then that's bad. Fire Emblem in Lunatic has you understand all the systems to maximize your use of them.
>>736799649>because NxC and 1 don't have economiesNXC has a shop, and no the games are not balanced around the items in any sense.
>>736801401NxC has shops but it doesn't have an economy. Because there are 3 different shops that you can't interact with at the same time. You just have to spend on whoever's selling.
If that guy responds again, the only thing I can say is he can enjoy 1 and NxC's gameplay better all he wants. But saying 2 is easy while not actively finishing it, is embarassing. You do not even know about the extra challenge stages the game offers then.
>>736800925>It's temporary and at the expense of everyone because you only have one meter for everyone to use.You're not spending meter to kill fodder enemies unless you want to do a multiattack.>That's the way the game is meant to be played?It makes for a much more enjoyable experience for sure. These games all load you up on 20 copies (99 in NXC) of several dozen different healing items that you could never run out no matter how badly you play.>because before you forget, these are 3DS games. Respecting money is hilarious, because you yourself said you never finished it. So how would you know how long it is?There's websites to see how long it is, also I said the money thing because its just as retarded of an argument as respecting time, but it appears that was too high IQ for you to grasp.>projecting this badlyYou said yourself you can barely tolerate 1 unless you spam items nonstop, you've made it quite clear you only like 2 cause the game takes less time to beat because you need everythingt o be oneshottable.Now you want me to believe you've played through 1 multiple times? Lmao>>736801052Its deeper than using items. Like holy shot, how can you not understand that having a hundred ways to fullheal your whole squad as a free action during your turn just defeats the purpose of the game?>>736801319If you played these games you'd understand.Imagine if Fire Emblem gave you hundreds of vulneraries and you could use them on any unit any time, all straight from the convoy and it doesn't have to be the lord accessing it.The complete lack of comprehension on how broken the items are just shows that I'm apparently the only fucking guy to have played these games and I'm arguing with a bunch of larpers.
>>736801909Not as embarassing as being an item shitter and then going on to pretend like they're totally balanced.I will probably finish 2 one day, after having finished NXC on my second shot at the game (first time was on an actual PS2 but I stopped using it as much and took a long break until eventually deciding to restart on emulator) I decided I would like to see Reiji & Xiaomu's full story in order, so before I can even go back to 2 (which I'll have to restart anyways cause I have not touched my 3DS in years) I need to replay Endless Frontier, play Exceed for the first time, and replay PXZ.
