My reaction is the same as the people in this forum thread : http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=71673.0My thoughts are the same as :QuoteOHMY GOD IM GOING TO IMPORT IT AND JACK OFF BETWEEN EVERY BATTLEthis is just a cashcow whorefest with animu clipped to it because every japfag in the world is going to buy it.
M.U.G.E.N > This It looks cool, i guess.I hope it plays like NxC, so far it looks like a Tales Of game..
Mr. Scruffy Detective said, May 08, 2008, 07:19:46 pm(see Namco X Capcom).How's that supposed to support your point?The game sucked, the story was so-so, but the gameplay was boring as hell...moreso than your average Tactical RPG.
Yeah, I wanted to get far enough to see Mega Man come into the game but just couldn't do it.It got too repetitive...
I still haven't finished the game, but I plan to!You quit before getting Rockman Volnut? Hahaha wow.....that's pretty early (compared where I left....where each stage is almost ONE HOUR LONG)
Well worst case scenario, we can always hope the game is as easy to dump graphics from as NxC was: from the looks in the mini-shots there, the sprites are the same for Capcom chars.

However, the monsters that attack him are real enough, and he hears this from a young girl who, like the protagonists, originally lived in a different world than this one: "We've been waiting for you to arrive." This "world" apparently gathers the souls of people from other worlds, and if it continues to imprison people in this manner, their homeworlds will disappear. In order to break the connection between this "world" and the other worlds and to release all the imprisoned souls, the young man sets off on his journey of adventure.Protagonist: Kannagi YuutoThe main character of the game. Has a straight-forward, quick-to-get-in-a-fight personality. Widely considered a problem child by those around him. Born in a renowned family of ancient martial arts practitoners and therefore skilled at jiu-jitsu, he's tired of boring, old-fashioned martial arts and has recently taken a fancy to shooting. According to him, his (shooting) ability is Olympic-class.Heroine: Aiba MikotoA girl who was taken to Yuuto's home after losing both of her parents at a young age. Though she repeatedly demonstrated a sensitivity to the existence of spirits when she was young, she currently appears to be no different than any ordinary girl.

The goal of the game is to release various souls from imprisonment, and the storyline will advance once a certain number of souls have been freed. Release all the souls and proceed to defeat the source of all evil!(Top left screenshot label)Makai (Demon world)(Bottom left screenshot label)Gensoukai (Illusory world)(Right screenshot caption)Dungeons exist in each of the worlds.

You may assign skills to the Triangle, Circle, Square, and X buttons for each of your characters. An assigned skill will be activated with a single button press in battle... spectacular ecstacy! (I'm not making that up. -- Ed.) Chain attacks will occur when skills are used in consecutive sequence, so be prepared for the deep strategy and plethora of system elements born from this approach.(Left screenshot caption)After you use a skill, a chain attack will be established if you follow up with another skill usage within a certain time limit.(Caption beneath screenshot to the left of the "Battle" section header)Each character is allocated "AP" (Action Points), an ability required in order to use skills. As long as this AP does not dwindle to nothing, you can use skills as much as you want.(Caption at bottom of section)Activate skills consecutively and damage will increase!!(Right screenshot caption)By consecutively attacking an enemy, you decrease its defense value to zero and can then deliver massive damage with a single stroke.
Proof of this game being boob-driven is the fact that Capcom is using Darkstalkers characters instead of the ones from their RPG games like BoF...
...I thought that was due to them being monster characters, makai kingdom crosses into makai and all..
News Flash X (cross) Edge is coming to the US! http://www.rpgamer.com/features/2008/nisainterview.htmlhttp://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/ps3/xedge/xedge.htmlRemember that game with the Disgaea, Mana Khemia, Ar tonelico, Spectral Souls, Darkstalkers and the Atelier series?Ya know Etna, Prinnies, Demitri, Morrigan and Lilith? Yup that RPG's slated for a US release!
