From what I’ve played of it thus far, it handles like a cross between an SRPG and a brawler. You maneuver the battlefield in a grid-based fashion as your character of choice, then select your target of attack. From there, you instigate a battle on a 2D plane that consists primarily of mashing buttons and the D-Pad to form combos. Once you’ve done that enough, you can activate a special attack which plays out in an elaborate and entertaining cutscene."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "These days it seems like every game character just has to crossover into another’s game. Just recently we had a bunch Sub-Zero showing up in Injustice 2, Link in Mario Kart 8 and Shovel Knight popping up… well everywhere. And it’s not like this trend is going to end anytime soon, not with games like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Marvel VS. Capcom: Infinite and Final Fantasy XV getting in on the crossover action. So for this week’s top 10 we’ve decided to countdown the best crossovers in gaming history! The only rule we have is that more that one company has to be involved, so cameo appearances don’t count!"
Koji Ishitani, co-producer of Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2, has left Monolith Soft, the developer announced on Twitter.
“As of the end of last week, on March 31, I resigned from Monolith Soft, which I belonged to for about 16 years,” Ishitani said in a tweet. “I was involved with works from Xenosaga Episode I to Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean to Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED to Project X Zone 2, but to everyone who supported me and worked with me, and above all else to those who played the games, thank you very much!”
Ishitani isn’t the only developer to leave Monolith Soft with the start of the new fiscal year. Project X Zone director Soichiro Morizumi also announced his leave this weekend.
lot of senior Japanese developers leave their companies lately ...what happens?? will they form new ones? will they continue developping for consoles? ...its kind of worrisome
Aoni Production reported on Thursday that voice actress Yuko Mizutani passed away from breast cancer on Tuesday. She was 51.
In video games, Mizutani played Queen Minnie in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Iris in Project X Zone, and Militsa in Tales of Rebirth, among others.
I wish this game was available on the vita as well. This looks fun with all my beloved characters from multiple series.
