They never fully fixed it, though they got a little closer each time. The first one is an absolute clusterfuck of contrasting concepts, the cyber elves working against the ranking systems and the hub exploration/level grinding working against the otherwise smooth platforming. It felt schizophrenic, and the games never completely got away from that feeling. 4 did come close to solving it, I'll give it that.

I don't know what people mean by that. You could argue it looks like he's wearing a diaper in both his original and updated design.

Trade the vest for his classic samurai armored torso so he doesn't look so thin and unprotected, and give more groin protection by expanding the lower armor. You don't even have to drastically rework the colors, it's not a big leap and romhackers did it before, I just can't find a good example due to the terrible names of all those unreleased sprite hacks. X style Zero in the Zero series HAS worked, it's just the artist didn't want to try.

Zero has always been contentious. Compared to Classic and early X, it tries to complicate the tried and true formula too much. It's kind of like they used the Playstation X games as a reference point when making these. X4 is fine because it's fast and straightforward like MMZ's base gameplay, but cyber elves and stage rankings are just reworks of shitty X5 ideas.
>>
>>740742228
The only bad thing here is the weapon levels, and you can grind them out right after the intro and back up the save these days so you never have to deal with it again.

>>740784564
It's always someone upset that Zero bruised their ego.

The game is still fast and straightforward, it just calls you a cuck if you suck.
>>
>>740784831
It's not an ego thing, it's that Zero creates problems that earlier subseries didn't have. Classic and X don't give a shit if you use e-tanks and will just give you your goddamn weapons for beating a stage. Zero has to get varying shades of obtuse with all of that and for no real payoff in what it changes. It's weirder, and arguably harder, but not really better.
>>
>>740785095
>It's weird and not necessarily better
By the same logic it's not a problem. Just strange.
>>
>>740785281
It's worse than the simple solutions that predate it. Stuff like the shops in later Classic games and permanent tanks in the X games just make more sense than Zero's reinterpretations of X5's parts and ranking systems.
>>

>No, see, it's okay for me to just say easier = better with no real argument because uhhhh it just heckin is
Bitch.

Z1 and Z2 are a bit harder than average, but they're also balanced differently. "You need to spend cash on an e tank and you get called a sissy for using it" is not good or bad design on its own, it's a matter of how the game is framed. Z1 and Z2 especially aren't the same kinds of accumulative power creep games X1-4 are. Your character is not Mega Man, does not copy abilities, and is a scrapper in a resistance movement who's taking each advantage he can get and getting prestige based on just how good he is. The skill based feedback plays into the mood of the game and the game is beatable by anyone who could handle X1-4.

Just going "ugh, less convenient" isn't an actual discussion. Yeah, you have to put in more work for a sub tank, but the game rewards you way more for it. The bosses are far easier to beat without falling back on it than they are in the X games.

I just don't understand why something like cyber elves and stage rankings are in the same game when they directly contradict each other's existence, or why this even needs to be the case when previous games simply didn't care, never mind the weirdness of EX skills later on. I do think Z4 did the best job of making all of these mechanics properly coexist, but it feels like Zero generally wants to be two different games at the same time.

>>740787126
nta but theyre clearly theyre to cater to different playstyles. cyber elves are for first-timers who may be struggling with the difficulty of the game while the ranking system is for people familiar with megaman or doing repeat playthroughs. the game wants to encourage you to try the latter playstyle which is why it puts up the barrier of grinding over cyber elves so they can nudge people toward improving their skills instead without outright removing cyber elves and the option to make the games easier with them. megaman games are always short so the devs wanted to add more replay value to the game by including a ranking system.
>>
>>740787126
>why cyber elves and stage rankings are in the game when they contradict each other
I think it's the same mindset that you get in arcade games where using bombs or something hurts your score. It's meant to make the game more approachable for a first time through, but when it comes down to trying to master the game there's a specific way they intended you to play it, and they reward you for "getting good" with ranks.
You see almost the exact same mechanic in other rank-based games like devil may cry, but no one makes the same complaints as with mmz in those games.
>>
>>740787126
>I just don't understand why something like cyber elves and stage rankings are in the same game when they directly contradict each other's existence
Because they create friction and player goals without ruining game balance. The ranks (and EX skills) are bragging rights. The ranks are an objective measure of game mastery for players to shoot for on replays. The EX Skills are bonus moves to both give you a cool toy to fuck with and *very slightly* help you in continuing to master the game. The counterbalance of rank vs tools is to still let players who struggle finish the adventure while encouraging players to improve. That's why it's only crutches that hurt your rank while the toys that add to your capabilities and ability to interact don't.

>or why this even needs to be the case when previous games simply didn't care
Because these are different series with different design goals. X was designed as Classic with more open levels, more mobility, and a JRPG structure. Zero is aiming to keep RPG elements while also making the character less powerful and emulating arcade experiences. It wants to reinforce replay value through openly acknowledging your play style and encouraging you to get better.

I don't think it's perfect, or anything, but the idea that it's inherently wrong to antagonize the player or that creating friction is inherently bad is part of why games are so much more boring these days.

Sure, but previous games didn't need to incentivize that way, and the games narrow that gap more and more as they go on until Z4 basically lets you have your cake and eat it too. It's almost like Z1 was a mistake that took them 3 games to "fix".
>>
>>740788043
The ranking system is honestly dumb. Like sure they want you to git gud but then they lock one of the interesting parts (skills) into the latter which offer a more unique game play. But by then they're useless because the player already muscle-memorized a "better" gameplay and don't bother with it.

>>740788549
>previous games didn't need to incentivize that way
Yeah, and we see the results of that in a ton of fans not replaying games. Hence why people hype X4 when it has stages like Slash Beast and Jet Stingray and X himself plays horribly.

A lot of fans treat most of the individual Mega Man games like disposable junk food instead of great games and it's really sad. I think encouraging replay the way Inti's games did (ranking systems, bonuses, little achievements in 9 and 10) is something extremely beneficial to the series. I don't see why "Well this other game didn't do it" is a reasonable argument against it.

>the games narrow that gap more and more as they go on until Z4 basically lets you have your cake and eat it too.
Yeah, because the feedback they kept getting was "WHY DID THE GAME CALL ME A STUPID PUSSY FAGGOT, FUCK YOU >:(" ZX and 9/10 tried different approaches, and I think it ended up making ZX way worse. The Biometal Level system is similar in concept but way too specific to be as engaging and directly punishes players for using their non-crutch tools.

>It's almost like Z1 was a mistake that took them 3 games to "fix".
>"See, it's bad design when new games change things, except when it isn't, because that proves prior changes were mistakes."
You are trying so hard to not acknowledge that getting a C rank nettled you.

I mean that's why Z3 makes getting a good enough rank for EX Skills fairly easy. Z2 is the only game with the problem you're attributing to the system.
>>
>>740788348
MMZ comes off a long history of games that don't care about ranks, so with that series it really is like "how is this better than what MM2 or X1 did"? DMC also isn't so brazen as to dangle a grindy mechanic like cyber elves in your face, it's as if spending enough red orbs just locks you out of an SSS rank for spending red orbs because you wanted to play with the fun things. Well, only Z1 is really like that. Later games aren't THAT awful about it, but the point persists throughout.

>>740788424
I get this friction in games that do it better than Z1 does. It's a little more acceptable in Z2/3 and it's basically a nonissue in Z4, but I never feel like they get it quite right. EX skills especially would be more appreciated by unskilled players, and yet prior to Z4 you have to rank whore to unlock them. That just seems like an ass backwards way of implementing one of the core tenets of Megaman as a franchise - skill acquisition. I can see it working in a pure arcade game, but it's not quite right for Megaman.

Have you actually played DMC1, by any chance?
Because the game absolutely punishes the shit out of you in terms of orbs if you suck and is WAY less forgiving than Z1 with its rankings.

>It's as if spending enough red orbs just locks you out of an SSS rank for spending red orbs because you wanted to play with the fun things.
You realize they literally do that, right?
Green and Purple stars are the subtank equivalents and heavily penalize you. You get charged once for buying the item and charged again for using the item, as you get less currency for lower ranks.

Z1 has no boss weapons of any kind to push the element weaknesses as a replacement and kills Phantom early, thematically appropriate for his character but starves later games of a Guardian and a counterpart to the Shield Boomerang
Z2 I don't like the Dark Elf as a macguffin much and X's body is kind of a shit plot point put in to retroactively explain where X went and keep him from coming back in the future
Z3 has Volteel Biblio's stage which singlehandedly keeps it from standing alongside Z2 and Z4, Weil is the only character asking if Zero is the real Zero, all of Omega's forms are insultingly easy and lead to an X5 callback with a mirror fight that's easier to handle than X5's Zero fight (somehow X2's Zero fight remains ubdefeated because of charge shots canceling each other out). Also Weil is still alive at the end, oops lol thanks Inafune
Z4 is the closest to perfect of all of them, but Weil's equivalent to Pantheon grunts aren't as interesting as Pantheons and the crafting system is tacked on. I will give Z4 though that keeping the weakness triangle, removing chips, and tying elements inherently to EX skills is an elegent way of mildly depowering Zero, making EX Skills desirable, and removing the jank of EX Skills having low power and high power versions depending on whether you have their desired element equipped. Weil as the final boss kicks fucking ass on all fronts, including having a grapple point to make the Z-Knuckle still matter even in the game's last minutes
>>
>>740789774
Yeah, no, DMC1 isn't perfect either, but you see what I mean, right? Z1 and Z2 are the ones where the rankings are kinda tough, and they're still way less brutal than DMC1 and 3, Viewtful Joe 1, etc. I think you could maybe argue DMC4 and confidently argue DMC5, but those came out way later.

Z1 has no ex skills, all the rank does is give bosses a stronger EX attack if youre at rank A or S and unlock some post game bonus elf. this isnt a problem in Z2 or Z3 either. Z3 was fairly easy since satellite elves let your use the system without penalty and Z2 has elves that literally raise your rank to A so youre guaranteed to get some EX skills. Someone thats using elves to raise their health and brute froce everything doesnt really have much use for ex skills anyway.

dont agree with a lot about what people have to say about Z1 but im glad Z4 is getting some respect for what it did with EX skills and the Z-Knuckle actually being cool. Elemental chips are just to strong if the game allows you to charge spam from the get go like Z3

Z4 in general is the most well rounded I think
Its bosses do the most with the Mythos Reploid concept, Kraft as an "old soldier" character and chunky in the body to call back to X style reploids, Weil is the best final boss in the series
>>
>>740791596
Idk. I like the grittier post-apocalypse
And I guess I like the symmetry between Copy X being an insane tyrant labeling innocent Reploids "Mavericks", and the true X and Zero putting him down. That's a neat angle IMO.
Copy X being the actual Maverick, and Zero being labeled one.

Yes, I know this is barely in the game. I still find it cool.

>>740789904
>Weil is still alive at the end, oops lol thanks Inafune
Given that Zero 3 was made as a finale, and Zero 4 was originally just Zero 1.5, I wonder if they intentionally left Weil alive to imply a bunch of offscreen fights between him and Zero, as the era's equivalent to Wily and Sigma. Essentially making the trilogy a prologue to a longer, unseen subseries, sort of like how Castlevania had Julius Belmont fighting Dracula offscreen in 1999.

Describe to me how X is *not* a paragon (and I'll qualify that I'm using the more colloquial sense of something like
"a character who is a prime example of moral goodness"

>>740827568
X questions and worries and doubts because he spent several decades being taught just that. Him suddenly become unflinching in his beliefs doesn't make any sense

>>740827989

>>
>>740827989
Ok. A paragon typically means "a good person" or "a good character"
X doubting and questioning himself to make sure he's really doing the right thing doesn't make him less of a paragon, it makes him more of one.
X being the villain of the Zero series would have been tragic, could have been in the form of classical tragedy, but it's absolutely within the ballpark that he could become convinced of beliefs that Zero ended up opposing.
It's completely possible to write that kind of story.

They didn't because people would have had exactly the same reaction you're having.
