I just now got my hands on Mega Man ZX: Advent. I haven't really started it yet, but from what I can see, the game is fully voiced, even for minor characters, such as the two hunters that bite it at the beginning of Grey's story.

Also, there are some name changes, listed here:

Wise Men > The Legion Sage Trinity
Helios > Aeolus
Tethys > Thetis
Kaiizimine > Queenbee the Hymenopteroid
Tesrat > Hedgeshock the Erinaceroid
Condorrock > Vulturon the Condoroid

So yeah... what's your opinion on the latest Mega Man release?

Do you think there will be more biometals?

This game is forcing me to revert to the odd ZX control scheme - but I like it. I'd give myself an A or S-Rank for level one, although they don't do that anymore.

Oh yeah, I'm going with Grey first.

And is it me, or is the explosion effect really cool now? I mean, I loved it. But whatever.

I did. Turns out the game goes through the story-style of Zero and Zero 2, unlike the last game. So no major mission choosing, but you can do the various quests while on the missions.

I will hate save points forever. Stupid first Game Over at the Ice Floe puts me before the TRAIN. Grr....

The voice acting is superb IMO, Model A bugs me a little bit, but it matches the Japanese version.

Model A perfectly matches Axl... unfortunately the X7 one. D:

I'm in the Towwer of Verdure, obviously Rospark's area of dominance. The spider sub-boss perplexes me with its unavoidable claw-spinning. @_@

Okay, figured out spider-thing. Time for Rospark,yet another MegaMan 20th Transformer character.

I don't know, the voice acting is getting on my nerves pretty fast. Although, I pretty much skip it whenever it's there. Anyway, played it a bit tonight and I'm liking it so far. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I'll most likely play more tomorrow or something.

Rospark is officially "the easy one" for now.

Scratch that, he-she-it pulled out the self-healing murder beam.

The voicing for Rospark's dying words (or groans, take your pick) is... *hurls* But the rest of it is pretty good.

ACCEPT MY THORNY EMBRACE!

Oh,. your a handsome boy, I like you.

Come and cry in my bosom!



....UGH.

Well, killing him felt good. If it was a he. This game has so many "Lumines" - Atlas has a man-voice, Rospark - God only knows, etc. etc.

I just got past the elemental doors, to be killed by the fire Giga Aspis. I'm guessing the snake is now this series' golem - the one that was game one, stage one'sboss and now is reproduced into elemental sub-bosses for game two.

UPDATE: I'm at Sianaq in the Legion HQ. I've beaten him (the cipher break is a nice read albeit an easy giveaway) but died to the following sub-boss - the fly-thing from ZX1. *slaps face*

How in the world can you lose to that thing? Geez.

Well.

I just beat Model ZX. Hah!

Trust me, it's not a fight you can take lightly, ZX will kick your ass given half a chance.

Question. Do models Z and X have the same VA's from the X games?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

And in the way of cameos, I found the remains of a midboss in Mega Man X1. And a picture of the original Mega Man box art for the first Mega Man game on the NES. Scary.

Model ZX was easy...got hit like, once on my first try. <.<


Models X and Z don't have their X series voices, putting Axl back in as a contender.

Argoyle and Ugoyle are tough. >_O

Is it me, or does Albert look like Sigma with hair and a gray metal piece shoved up the butt-chin? Just wondering - I just got to the anime cutscene - curse you, school! :[

Those HEATHENS! *shakes fist at translators* Aeolus has to do with WIND, not FIRE! </mythgeek>

Hunh? Aeolus is the Model H Mega Man... the wind guy.


Argoyle and Ugoyle... such a simple pattern, if only I played it right and picked my attacks. Ah, I have a subtank now anyway.

Okay, final level would normally be easy, but Im having trouble with the bosses. <.<


I think I'm gonna go retrieve my last life up, get some energy ups, and maybe another subtanke for this.


....AFTER Phoenix Wright.

Your opinion will change once you get past the bosses. The second half is spike hell.

Oh, goody. I'm real good at "spike hell" levels, for some reason. I'm grabbing another Subtank so that I can beat Argoyle and Urgoyle - the only ones that give me trouble.

I think Serpent wears the pink hair look better than Albert. I was dumbfounded at how odd the "real" Master Albert looked.

This is just an observation - if it means anything, sorry.
The Villain Sage is Albert - Albert Wily
The general Good-Guy one is Thomas - Thomas Light
And I'm drawing a blank on Mikhail.

I thought the three wise men represented Cossack, Wily and Light?


Watching the secret ending on Youtube however...I have mixed feelings on Thomas. >.>

I'm upgrade-searching...

I'm also looking for Legion HQ4, but that can wait. Time to find some more stuff.

Just in general, which of Argoyle and Urgoyle do you guys kill first? I go with Urgoyle because he's easier to hit in the weak-spot, but Argoyle's death would really put a sinker on him.

EDIT: How could I forget the first rule of MegaMan-ology? The water level always has a Sub-Tank!

Edited by HighMaxOmega on October 27, 2007 at 17:13:35.

I used homing shots, so both at the same time. >.>


AND OMGWTF IS THIS CRAP. The final area of the stage is like, uber mega hyper omg NUUUUUUUU cheap.

Oh boy, can't wait...

Spikes everywhere. Destroyable blocks. You stand where they respawn, you die. You stand on one for too long it goes away and odds are you land on a bunch of spikes. Easy to destroy blocks on accident. Enemy fire pushing you off blocks and into spikes....



WTF.

Yea somethings up with the stages this time around they're just so wierd & does cause alot of problems but overall I'm still glad that it's out. The voice overs are somewhat good (some annoy me) one of the other bad things is that when you lose to one of those pseudoroid bosses now you can actually hear them laugh at you & not just read it like before. >_>

Told you it was spike hell. Even Sigma's moon palace wasn't that bad.

I'm hating that level with my soul forever.
You'd think that out of all the technological advances the MM have gone through at least one of them would have full protection against spikes.

- With the exception of Shadow Armor & MM.EXE (He is yet to be tested for it) >_>
