Talk:Mega Man ZX (series)

Hmmm...
I heard they were discontinuing the ZX series. Is that true?


 * I haven't heard anything about that. I thought that they needed more time to work on the next title, and Star Force was being discontinued. XeroxHunter 23:04, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please source that SF was being discontinued. Like your thoughts on Operate Shooting Star, there is no use causing mess panic. Zalbaag 23:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * sigh* I wish that Star Force hadn't been discontinued... It's one of my favorite games.. I'm not sure if they discontinued ZX or not. I hope they didn't. 222.127.47.202 07:40, May 28, 2010 (UTC)Unregistered user ;D

They are just in indefinite hiatus. Maybe ZX3 will be released some years later, like Mega Man 9 and Mega Man Legends 3. :P --186.213.62.8 16:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Mega Man Zx 3
Im a bit disapointed by Capcom's handling of Mega Man. If Mega Man was owned by another video game company, say Nintendo, Legends would have had two new games, Zx 3 would be out, and the games wouldn't have such a short bugdet. When you look at the Mega Man world, you see a wolrd rich in story and characters, cliffhangers left and right, and plain mysteries. If anyone from Capcom happens to come by this, tell your higher ups to get their heads out of their..., and make some great Mega action. Also I miss the commercials.

I hear you. Commercials were cool for MegaMan, as they were flashy, and could get you hooked on the series. I wonder why nothing has come out about ZX sequels, and especially Legends. Keiji Inafune did say that he wanted to return to Legends, but no progress has been made for new titles on that front. XeroxHunter 23:09, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is merely a possibility..
..but if Vent and Aile both are employed with Giro, but only one of them went on the mission to deliver Model X to the Guardians? Just thought that because of the similarity between Vent and Aile's backstories? And also, in ZX Advent, there's a picture of Vent and Aile together, getting the blood transfusion from Master Albert as they are survivors of the Maverick raid on Area H. Please point out any errors in this, it'd be really helpful~ 222.127.47.202 07:37, May 28, 2010 (UTC)Unregistered user ;D

Care to share that picture? Chaos Knux 20:50, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

That was horrible grammar. The only reason people would be able to understand this is because you chose to ask such an stupid and obvious question thats always asked. They are alternate timelines, they dont exist at the same time. That is why they have identical backstories. Grey and Ashe however, could possibly exist in the same timeline, since Grey's destruction of the bridge at the Mysterious Lab and Ashe's destruction of the Raider airship are present in either story. That could be easily explained as the creators unwantedness to have to revamp whole parts of events to fit each story to make them alternate timelines. That could be debated as moot since the creators purposefully gave each character such outstanding events and character traits that it wouldn't make much sense if they didnt both exist in the same timeline.

Also, both the games didnt say that Albert infused them with his DNA because they were Maverick survivors, it was said that Albert simply picked and chose whoever as they all came in for their transition from Human or Reploid to Humanoid, or in so many words, when the Humans got their robotic enhancements, or when the Reploids were given a lifespan. It also never said anything about the need of blood transfusion for either Vent/Aile or Serpent or even implied the need for it. Albert went well out of his way to plant the DNA, and it doesnt seem likely that Albert chose them because of being Maverick survivors, since it would be assumed that becoming a Humanoid would be manditory very recent to birth, and Vent/Aile were around 4 when the Maverick raids happened, and Serpent had to have been atleast a young man, if not older then as well. However, since Humans grow into their bodies, it can also be assumed that Humans have to have regular updates for the robot parts to their bodies, so there would have been several oppritunities for Albert to take notice of Vent/Aile after the raids. So its not completely unlikely. But it doesnt account for Serpent, and it does seem odd that it wasnt elaborated or emphasised in ZX Advent. "Unregistered Guy", 10:43, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the reason they survived Maverick raids was because they already had his DNA. Maybe Albert wanted his chosen ones to pass by a tough situation? Vent, Aile, Giro and Serpent had the Maverick raids, Atlas was a soldier from a country wasted by Mavericks, and Siarnaq was betrayed by his friends. (not much is known of Thetis and Aeolus.) But anything is possible. Let's put the facts together for reference:

Prairie: The one that gave Giro the order to protect you was the first commander. (...) ''The order was to protect anyone that survived the Maverick raid. At first I didn't understand why she would give such an order. But when I saw Giro transform into the Model Z Mega Man, I finally understood the reason. Survivors of Maverick raids share the ability to transform with the power of the Biometal. People like you and Giro. I'm telling you the truth when I say that's all I know. I have no idea why some are chosen to be Mega Men while others are not. I'm guessing the only one who knows the real truth behind all of this is Serpent.''

Fistleo: ''The Mavericks were not causing all of that trouble just for fun you know. They were trying to locate the perfect vessel for Model W. It is all tied into the holders of the Biometal. The chosen ones. The Mega Men. You. After all, you survived the Maverick raid those many years ago.''

Serpent: ''Ten years ago, people fell victim to a Maverick raid. My company's security force dealt with the Maverick threat and were welcomed back as heroes. Since then, this country has been plagued by raid after raid and my company has always come to the rescue. I was able to earn the trust of the people, while at the same time harvest the spirits I needed! This country's history is merely one facet of a greater plan - Project Haven. (...) Survival of the fittest! The strong survive while the weak fade away! It's the classic struggle for life! The spirits of the people have given me what I need to obtain the power of Model W! Look at you! You're only able to stand before me today thanks to the power of Model Z absorbed from that red Mega Man! Everything has been leading up to this moment.''

Biometal Report Classification #555913 *Chosen One* This message is intended for the chosen one who will someday find the Biometal I (the 1st commander)'' have created. In order to fight against Model W, which has been causing the Maverick outbreaks, I have constructed Model X and Model Z with the data I have obtained on ancient heroes. There is still so much I don't understand... And I was forced to use the research on Model W as a basis for constructing the other two models. In other words, the ones with the potential to use Model X and Z, are the same ones with the potential to unleash Model W. As a chosen one, you have the power to save or destroy the world. I can only hope you use the power for good and that you will decide to guide the people to a bright future.''

Serpent: ''The Mega Men are all designed with one purpose, to destroy each other and survive to control Model W. It's all just a game, his game. We are all pieces on the board, and the winner becomes the ruler of the world! (...) His blood flows in your veins too! The man who made Model W!''

''The power of Biometal isn't something to be had by just anyone. It's a power which should only be obtained by a Chosen One, one with the ability to change the world. I devised this cipher to lock away the power of the Biometal. A cipher that would allow only the Chosen One to unleash its power. In other words, it's locked to its Biomatch. '''All Humans who get a bionic body have to come to Legion for inspection. I made sure that every bionic body part I inspected was infused with my DNA.''' That is the key to the cipher, the proof of being the Chosen One. Yes, by viewing this data, you now have within you my DNA.''

By the way, Vent and Aile could very well exist either at the same time, having different families living in the same place attacked by Mavericks (With both or only one working for Giro, probably not knowing the existence of each other, or being friends?), or each being unique to different timelines. (Same person born with different gender?) --186.213.62.8 16:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

I dont think that they are both alive at the same time. It would definitely have to be alternate realities, because otherwise the one not picked with the biometal is still a Chosen One, but doesnt do anything. I think the fact that they can both be placed at the Maverick Raids, lose the same parent, and work for Giro proves that they are in place of each other, or one and the same person. Much like the character you pick when you play Pokemon, picking gender simply for preference. But Capcom went a confusing route by having different dialogues and therefore slightly different plot for each character, but I definitely dont think that justifies them as individual characters. It seems more like flexible gaming mechanic instead of concrete canon.

However, you did bring up a good point about Albert picking them because of the Maverick Raids. I had thought about the same thing. But when was Serpents Maverick Raid? Could he have been chosen after the fact? Its all pretty unclear, and to be frank, the articles on this wikia are slightly impressionistic and somewhat shallow takes on things, especially pertaining to Albert. It makes it more confusing than the already vague canon of the game. (Limited to only the ZX Series so far, every other series has had extensive research and very well written and accurate information.)

Also, I dont think Atlas and Siarnaq backgrounds apply in the same way as Vent/Aile, or at least not Atlas, as it has not been implied in the canon that it was particularly damaging to her emotionally. Siarnaqs was, but I think that was more for reference of his attitude, and maybe not quite for him to be chosen as a Mega Man, which also explains why Aeolus and Thetis backgrounds hadnt been revealed or that the game never expressed any traumatic experience, because the creators seem to not have wanted to imply that. I think it was all for reference of their personalities. "Unregistered Guy", 11:53, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not unlikely that Albert would have some extra Chosen Ones. Actually, did he planned to have Ciel create the other Biometals, or originally he only expected to have Model W Mega Men like Serpent? (He does have 4 Model Ws like Serpent's with him when he reveals his intentions in Legion HQ.) Ashe/Grey having Model A (which are special cases from the others) was unexpected for him, and because of it he hasted his plans in ZXA, and as shown, haste makes waste. :P There may even exist other Chosen Ones that didn't appeared in the games, but not in a very large amount.
 * Vent and Aile also appear together in promotional videos, even transforming at the same time, but I doubt it counts as canon. In some Pokemon games like Ruby/Sapphire and Diamond/Pearl, the two characters exist at the same time, even interacting and battling between themselves. But the ZX story really isn't clear with some details... --186.213.62.8 01:14, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
