PS2's cover is the same.

For reference:

 

[kiryogi]

Mmm yeah, saw it over at PMM. Basically X7's cover :/

 

[belgurdo]

US cover sucks, but on the other hand the Japanese cover is the same motif they used for Breath of Fire III, only with no background now. Looks like everyone loses

 

[kiryogi]

Whaddaya mean no BG?! There's clouds! Mmm, can't wait for next week.

 

[Hero]

JPN cover is sweet.

GCN/PS2 is meh.

 

[kiryogi]

You really can't expect them to put this on Xbox do you?

 

[Hero]

I like X's new look. I thought in early art he had like a Viewtiful Joe-ish red cape/scarf. What happened to that?

 

[NotMSRP]

Which version is better: PS2 or GC?

 

[kiryogi]

It's still there, they're basically more like thrusters on his back.

edit: NOTMsrp: No clue yet, me and bebpo are going for GC version though. His reasoning is that loading will probably be handled efficently. While for me, it's just that choice for me thats all (Even though I have an import ps2 now) But if the loading thing is a problem, its a nice plus.

 

[SantaC]

what did this game get by famitsu?

 

[kiryogi]

32/40, so its definitely promising

GC packaging is way hotter, too.

 

[kiryogi]

Nah.. PS2's is a more complete image....

 

[Soul4ger]

I meant the PACKAGING, exactly, not the cover. Love the cardboard sleeve with the plastic holder, etc., etc.

 

[Culex]

I hope this game turns out well. What was the last Mega Man RPG on a console?

 

[kiryogi]

Ah yes, gcn jpn cases rock.

edit: none. this is the first of its kind.

 

[Alex]

I'm so sick of Megaman, but Dragon Quarter > all, so bah, mine.

 

[SantaC]

Culex, I know you are a big fan of ToS, and I must say it's an excellent game! I just got it and played 8 hours into it.

I thought this was the only one.

Oh wait! Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 (and 64).

Excellent. More ToS sales makes me happy

Eh, those are adventure titles I think.

 

[Hero]

Eh, those are adventure titles I think.

I would call them bad games, but to each their own.

And how does a cape/scarf = thrusters now?

 

[belgurdo]

I would call them bad games, but to each their own.

no

 

[Hero]

no

How no?

Granted, I haven't played the second MML game, but the first one left a sour taste. It killed the MM franchise for a little while.

Check out videos, and they only seem to show up when he dashes.

I'm on 56K, got any screenshots?

I figured that, but it seemed kind of weird to me. Maybe this game can help tie the X series to the Zero series a bit more.

Edit:

Is there any explanation for X's new look? Like did he get his new outfit after a battle or anything? Axl and Zero are the same..

 

[belgurdo]

How no?

It killed the MM franchise for a little while.

 

[NotMSRP]

Just X6 & X7.

 

[Shouta]

MML1, MML2, and Tron Bonne OWNED.

X5-X7 should have not existed.

On that note, I`m actually looking forward to Command Mission.

 

[Hero]

How long was it from MML to MMX5? I thought it was a long while.

 

[NotMSRP]

What's bad about X5? I haven't played the X series, but I do know Inafune didn't do X6 & X7 and fans want to disregard those two.

 

[Hero]

X5 was pretty solid I thought. X actually kept his armor from X4. Solid gameplay.

X6 and X7 were shit though.

 

[kiryogi]

What's bad about X5? I haven't played the X series, but I do know Inafune didn't do X6 & X7 and fans want to disregard those two.

It had a lot of great ideas, but all horrible execution. In any case it seems I might be wrong about only when X is dashing does the scarf like trails show up. Check out the official site for some pics anyway.

[Soul4ger]

MML1, MML2, and Tron Bonne OWNED.

Seriously. Tron Bonne is one of the best PSone games, period, and MML2 is amazingly good.

 

[Shouta]

We need a Cel-shaded Tron Bonne sequel, stat.

"MISS TRONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

 

[Alex]

"We need a Cel-shaded Tron Bonne sequel, stat."

Argh, very much agreed. Loved that game. MML titles are, eh. But Tron ruled, also one of my favorite PSX games.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

I played a good bit of MML on a rental, and recently picked up MML2 because it was five bucks used. Convince me to play it. The first section I played was heavy on story, but the first dungeon is really no better than in the last game.

 

[B.K.]

Has a release date been announced yet for the English version?

 

[kiryogi]

Sept 21st. Pretty close considering the japan release is next week. Just don't the evil dub that was X7

 

[belgurdo]

Sept 21st. Pretty close considering the japan release is next week.

All Your Base translation and janitors doing the voicework again?

 

[kiryogi]

:shrugs: Getting the japanese version anyway.

 

[nubbe]

Can’t say that either cover is particularly exiting.

But as long the disc inside contains code similar to Dragon Quarter, it should be one of the best games this generation.
