Project X Zone 2 is still a way off but Bandai Namco, Capcom and Sega want you to get really excited for it based solely on its cast… and they are right, as recent screenshots courtesy of Famitsu reveal a bunch of old and new faces that will be appearing, including Streets of Rage star Axel Stone and Capcom’s own shouty lawyer, Phoenix Wright.

Project X Zone 2 is a turn-based strategy RPG for the 3DS that features a ton of famous and not so famous videogame characters from Capcom, Sega and Bandai Namco’s vast library, and its so far confirmed cast is already looking awesome. Most recently, Street Fighter’s Ryu and Ken were confirmed to be returning from the previous game as a Pair Unit (a playable unit composed of two characters) as well as Sakura Shinguji and Gemini Sunrise from Sakura Wars. A new Pair Unit was also confirmed; Ciel Alencon and Nana Kazuki from God Eater 2.

The aforementioned Axel Stone (who hasn’t been in a game since 1994) will appear as a Solo Unit (a unit that acts as an assist character and isn’t directly played as) in Project X Zone 2. The same applies to Phoenix, who will be joined by assistant Maya Fey. Together, they can defeat enemies with the power of pointing (don’t underestimate the power of pointing). Another Solo Unit that will appear is Aty, the star of Japan-only game Summon Knight 3 (a lot of games represented in this were Japan-only).

So far, the cast is as follows:

  • Chris Redfield (Resident Evil Revelations)
  • Jill Valentine (Resident Evil Revelations)
  • Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 6)
  • Dante (Devil May Cry series)
  • Vergil (Devil May Cry series)
  • Mega Man X (Mega Man X series)
  • Zero (Mega Man X series)
  • Strider Hiryu (Strider)
  • Ryu (Street Fighter)
  • Ken Masters (Street Fighter)
  • Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
  • Maya Fey (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
  • Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza: Dead Souls)
  • Majima Goro (Yakuza: Dead Souls)
  • Erica Fontaine (Sakura Wars series)
  • Ichiro Ogami (Sakura Wars series)
  • Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter series)
  • Kage-Maru (Virtua Fighter series)
  • Hotsuma (Shinobi)
  • Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Wars)
  • Gemini Sunrise (Sakura Wars)
  • Axel Stone (Streets of Rage)
  • Yuri Lowell (Tales of Vesperia)
  • Flynn Schifo (Tales of Vesperia)
  • Jin Kazama (Tekken series)
  • Kazuya Mishima (Tekken series)
  • Kite (.hack series)
  • Haseo (.hack//GU series)
  • Natsu (Soulcalibur V)
  • Aty (Summon Night 3)
  • Nana Kazuki (God Eater 2)
  • Ciel Alencon (God Eater 2)

Among the screenshots were some of the locations that players will travel through, including the Tall Oaks Church from Resident Evil 6, the Kamurocho theater plaza from Yakuza: Dead Souls and Blue Ice Valley from God Eater 2. Project X Zone 2 is scheduled to be released worldwide this fall for the 3DS. You can check out  the screenshots below.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
