The North American release of Project X Zone has finally come. Yesterday, that is. I'm running a little late on this heads up (thank you TMMN for the reminder), but now you know in case you didn't know! Meanwhile, our friends in Europe will have the game on July 5th. Won't be too long now!
Speaking of Europe, tomorrow's June 27th Nintendo 3DS eShop update adds a second demo called "Dark Hours." This one features X and Zero. Word has it North America will also get the demo, but there's been no information as to when, though it could be tomorrow too. We'll keep an ear out.
Kinda find it funny that in my city, I'm literally the only person to have pre-ordered this game, so my EB Games let me pick up my copy back on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAkira Yuki is so broken in this game, and I love it. :)
I'm going to wait on this one until I hear exactly how Iris's scene plays out.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten that far, but from what I read on TVTropes, Zero does a 'Heroic BSOD'... And makes the other members of the team save him in 8 turns after he sees Iris and basically mentally flops out.
DeleteI haven't gotten that far myself. I JUST got access to X and Zero. (as others have said, they come in at Chapter 20, titled 'The Maverick Hunters'. Since of people we know, we seem to be the farthest along, I'll record some video of them coming in so people can see and get it up. :3
And, OMG, X is full of comedic gold, with some of his replies to the other 'single' units you can add as a third support unit.... If you get a chance, pair Arthur up with X and Zero and see what I mean. Oh. My. God....
Then again, you also have some mind-numbing 'wtf' stuff.. like Zero and X both saying they're more partners than friends, Zero even going as far as to say he sees X more or less as a rival than a friend. .... (This comes up if you pair Neneko with them.)
Tell that to the yaoi fangirls, boys. All I gotta say.
Yep you read right.
DeleteAlso the scene with Iris may or may not have a reference to a certain scene near the end of it ;)
Just letting everyone know that Amazon sold out of the game... Both Limited Edition and Regular Edition... They even took too many pre orders and can't fill them all... There's already a few people that have gotten refunds because of what happened... Everyone decided to order from Amazon because Namco, and Gamestop only allowed one copy per customer. And people wanted to make a profit off of it, by selling it for $105.00... The price fluxed within 24 hours for the other sellers through Amazon... Prices from $105.00 to $80.00 then to around $40.00, now it's around $60.00... Take my advice, and get the game now while you still can...
ReplyDeleteThere's already been a few stories of people getting their copy from their local Gamestop and they didn't get the Limited Edition. The employees have been known to take the games out of the box, and keep the extra stuff, and just give the game to the customers... It's already happened to my husband when he had pre ordered a game in the past...
Just so you know, I'm already at chapter 19 in the game... I have not seen X and Zero. Literally, they and Chris and Jill are the last 2 pairs to be obtained in the story from the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteWeird. I'm on Chapter 5 and Jill and Chris were in one of the prologues. Or are you excluding the prologue?
DeleteAlso, I'm super impressed you are already on chapter 19.
I excluded prologues. And I've been playing non-stop.
DeleteAnd I can confirm X and Zero appear in chapter 20 with Vile, and that Chris and Jill return permanently in 21 with Tyrant-002s and Nemesis(along with a Jill sandwich reference). However, I have not seen Ulala nor Dynamite Cop(again).
Gamestop doing something like that? No way. I don't know why anyone even goes there. Biggest piece of crap there is in gaming.
ReplyDeleteNewegg is sending out the regular edition from what I've heard. I believe X and Zero comes in at Ch 27ish?
ReplyDeleteActually Chapter 20. I've played it.
