Although Rockman X DiVE's one-year anniversary festivities started a week ago (and will continue until the end of the month) the development team chose this week to bring the big guns ahead of March 24th, the game's actual anniversary date.
You can find all the details after the break!
Your eyes are not deceiving you: RiCO is going to be a playable "Hunter Program" this week!
RiCO's first active skill is Data Recreation, which allows her to deploy an information window to pull a random skill from either Ultimate Armor X (Plasma Charge Shot), Awakened Zero (Genmu Zero) or Iris (Peaceful Wish).
Her second active skill is Data Analysis, which deploys a force-field that inflicts damage and absorbs energy from an enemy. What's more, one of her passive skills will "randomly remove a buff when hitting a target with your weapon attack"
RiCO will be available from the DiVE Festival gacha starting this Thursday until April 1st. She is an S rank character.
If RiCO wasn't exciting enough or you don't have the EM necessary to attempt getting her, well, fear not. Know that you will not leave the one-year anniversary festivities empty handed!
The development team is giving players the new A rank character, X -Rising Fire-, for free. The only thing you have to do is participate in the ViA's Deep Log Training event and gets the point necessary to claim him.
You can see X -Rising Fire- in motion here and the event's boss fight against ViA (which appears to be using Zero's best moves) here.
Finally, RiCO will receive a skin that players can get by competing against each other in the event online ranking.
Is this fitting for the game's one-year anniversary? Let us know in the comments!
Wait-wait-wait. RiCO is a playable character, now? That's super! I teased her design a little, saying she was basically Iris with short-shorts, but she really is a cutie. That pink skin looks especially nice on her, too – especially with those frosted tips and bangs!
ReplyDeleteOf course… the down-side of this is that now that she's playable… she'll probably be getting some… "interesting" costumes… for certain events, in the future… As others have said, girls in this game just can't get a break. The curvy ones, anyway. Dr. Ceil, Roll, and Aile don't seem subjected to the whims that Iris, Cinnamon, and Marino are, for example~
I would'nt mind as much if they did that with Rico since it's their characters, but i'd rather they stick with stuffs that looks more Mega Man-Like for the rest (Though i have nothing against alts costumes or fanservice per se).
DeleteI can't help but laugh that they put RiCO behind the Gacha wall for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why. Really thoses wanting Rico are probably thoses fine with Gacha.
DeleteMeanwhile thoses (such as myself) who wants the iconics Mega man characters are going to be more interested in Rising fire X anyway.
Is this game having an ending game like regular Rockman/Megaman games or it is endless games like 8 balls pool ?
ReplyDeletethere seems to be a story, but as of right now, there is no ending, and I'd wager that there will never be an ending, as the game will just be cancelled when it stops being profitable, and as long as it's profitable, they'll keep milking it
DeleteThank you. I figure that. I am going to stop playing it and stick with Megaman games on PS4 and other consoles for ending stories. I dont need it as it is a waste time. And thank you again.
DeleteI don't have RiCO yet, but I just got Iris for the first time and I am SO HAPPY!! :)
ReplyDeleteYES! And her animation is so damn cute. Also my favorite weapon for X, Rising Fire has to be one of my favorite weapons in the whole franchise, though nostalgia has a lot to do here.
ReplyDeleteCan I legit ask this question, and don't take this the wrong way...
DeleteWhy Rising Fire? With this and the Koto kits, one can infer it's popular.
Hello Can you answer my quesiton ? Is this game like Megaman having an ending game or it is endless online only like forever ? Sorry about my English.
ReplyDeleteMobile and online games usually never have an ending.
DeleteThank you
DeleteI forgot to added it. I will stop playing it. The games with no ending arent worth efforts for me. I can't playing it forever. Its annoying and no life. No thanks. I will stick with Consoles of Megaman games to play the ending games. Thank yo for replying my question. Cheers.
Deletestill waiting for that global release....
