  1. I really appreciate the authenticity to the original designs. No exaggerated overblown new details added or anything, just what feels like a natural progression of the hand drawn look the original artworks of the characters were given. If they ever made any sort of Zero 5 such as taking place between 1 and 2 or something I wouldn't mind them using this art style for the artwork.

    1. You mean, MMZR, a fan-made great game that took place after the events of Mega man Zero 4.

      Delete
    2. No I mean if something official ever got made. Why would I be talking about not minding if this art style was used for something that already exists? It's not like it's going to suddenly get changed to use this art style.

      Delete
    3. Yes, yes. I mentioned the Non-profit MMZR fan game. Since it’s demo was in early alpha stage, they completely reworked on it.
