That Majima image is just the best thing.


Sadly haven't played the first installment due to money problems, only played the demos. Loved what I played, despite me not much of a fan of (J)PRGs much. Yes, I became interested in the first originally because of SEGA being part of it. But now it's not the case....to an extent.

This has to get a Western release. SCRATCH THAT CONFIRMED IT'S COMING WEST THIS FALL/AUTUMN. We don't have to wait months for the localization!

I bought the first out of pure interest, as I'm not a massive fan of SRPGs and just wanted to see how the three companies had managed to come together. It's actually a great game, and as such I'm really looking forward to this one.

It's rare that SPRGs interest me and Project X Zone 2 (and the original) is one of those games I would like to play from the genre.

I don't like SRPGs so I haven't bothered with the first one, and I won't bother with this one, but goddamn Chris Redfield and RE6 Leon? Those are by far the worst characters Capcom have and have basically tainted the entire roster by association. No amount of Majimas could save this.

I really wanted to play the first one, can't seem to find it though.

Edit: That trailer was shit.

Hotsuma x Strider Hiryu
Akira x Kage
Kiryu x Majima
Axel (Assist)......The best that I expected for this game :)

I brought this game on launch day. I rarely ever do that.

In short; an improvement to the original in nearly every way. The combat mechanics are more easier to chain now, the tactical RPG elements aren't as repetitive as before in trying to shake things up from time to time, the music is of course solid, but the writing for the localization....oh my GOD it is sooooo damn clever, witty and all around great. They really let a few things pass by like Ryu/Bison shipping, the various fourth wall leans, references to video games outside the games own cast and more. And Segata Sanshiro. For those looking for an alternative to Fire Emblem Fates I cannot stress enough to pick this one up.

From my brother's Tweets, Segata Sanshiro is a darling in the game. He has the screenshots to prove it.

Did anyone else pick up the game? Favorite units? Since I'm bias towards SEGA I made Akira/Kage Maru and Kiryu/Majima my two strongest units, aside from the main protagonists of course.
