Mega Man ZX Advent

Mega Man ZX Advent, also known as Rockman ZX Advent (ロックマンゼクスアドベント) is the sequel of Mega Man ZX (Rockman ZX). It was announced at the World Hobby Fair 2007, and was confirmed on Capcom's Japanese site for the ZX series. The U.S.A english version is now avilable on Oct. 26, 2007.

Background
The theme for this game is said to be four years and eight months after the 'Biometal W (Live Metal Model V)' incident in the previous game, Mega Man ZX. Hunters roam the ruins looking for lost technology, where wild machines live. The government 'Legion' oversees and rules over the majority of the world's actions, with it's controllers being the Masters: Thomas, Albert and Mikhail (likely a reference to Drs. Thomas Light, Albert Wily and Mikhail Cossack, respectively). The story starts you with being as Grey or Ashe.

Grey
Grey, the male hero, 14 years old. Grey has been in cryogenic sleep for an unknown period of time. He wakes up without any memory whatsoever after a battle between the Hunters (he doesn't know it) and the Secruity Force ended in an unknown lab. Suddenly, Pandora appears before him and attacks saying that he is a "defective and must be disposed of". Grabbing a weapon from one of the dead soldiers that were just in the room, he fires at Pandora, and runs from the room. From there, you take control of Grey.

Ashe
Ashe, the female hero, 15 years old. Stroy starts with a Hunter ship containing Ashe and her crew. They were on a mission to collect a Biometal that Legion is after. The Biometal is being held by illegal hunters, the Raiders. Ashe, the hot-head she is, jumps ahead of her team onto the enemy ship and starts her journey to find the Biometal. This is where you take contorl of Ashe. During the mission, Ashe meets up with Prometheus and they are at conficlt since both parties wants the Biometal. In the end, Prometheus attacks and Ashe loses her conscienceness.



Vent and Aile
Still being part of the Guardian secuirty and now part of Legion, Vent and Aile appear in the game. Vent appears in Ashe's story with Biometal X & Z while Aile appears in Grey's story with her Biometal, X & Z. As the protagonist, you'll have to fight them and learn what they are up to.

Voice Acting
Mega Man ZX Advent reason as to being released late is that the game now has voicing-acting accompaning the main characters.

Prometheus and Pandora
Returning from the previous game, Mega Man ZX, Prometheus and Pandora are seemingly the current villains. They are after the Biometal Model A. Aeolus (Helios,ヘリオス, Heriosu), Siarnaq (シャルナク, Sharunaku), Atlas (アトラス, Atorasu), and Thetis (Tethys,テティス, Tetisu) are the new holders of Biometal Models H, P, F, and L, respectively, which were stolen from Vent and Aile prior to the game's start. Like Prometheus and Pandora, they share their names with Saturn's moons. After defeating them in battle, Grey and Ashe can use A Trans to use their abilities (unlike Vent and Aile, who actually acquired the Biometals). All of them were created by Master Albert.

When the Biometals are used by these people, it is noted that they look similar to Vent and Aile's versions, with some differences, presumably because they are using the Biometals on their own, instead of through a Double Megamerge with Model X as Vent and Aile did. •Aeolus, using model H has considerably different shaped wings. Though the original version had them protrude from the shoulder and face back, these face to the side, and do not have boosters under the wing. Helios is also noted for being the only user of the main 4 Biometals to not wear the distinct "Boots" that come with the Biometal armor outside of using it. He is a perfectionist and a neat freak. He believes himself the only one not foolish and thus believes the world must be reset to get rid of those fools. •Atlas, using model F has a differently shaped helmet--While Vent and Aile's version had the 'horns' facing back, Atlas' points forwards, much like Fefnir's in the Mega Man Zero series. She was a soldier of a country laid to waste by Mavericks. She believes that it is only through struggle that people are galvanized to evolve. •Siarnaq, using Model P looks almost demonic compared to the original. His face, which is not readily visible, has Purple-red eyes, unlike a humans. The protrusions that hold the 'scarf' also extend, making a sort of face guard. He was a former Hunter and assassin for hire whose past includes being betrayed by his friends and left for dead. This is the reason for his cold, impassiveness towards others. •Thetis, using Model L, looks much the same as the original version, though one difference is that while Vent and Aile had 2 "Pigtail" Jet propulsion attachments on their heads, Thetis' version only has one long "Ponytail". At first, he was an upstanding, kind, model-citizen. But his nasty side appears when he intends to punish people for polluting the sea with waste.

Pseudoroids

 * Buckfire (Deerburn) the Gazellroid, resembling a Gazelle, and is fire based.
 * Chronoforce the Tridenroid, a horseshoe-crab based reploid and ice based.
 * Rospark the Floweroid, a flower-based character, thunder based. Can switch between flower and bulb forms.
 * Argoyle and Ugoyle the Shisaroids, a pair of shisa-like Reploids that attack together.
 * Queenbee (Kaizemine) the Wasproid, a queen bee Reploid, that controls several drones and is fire based.
 * Hedgeshock (Tesrat) the Hedgeroid, based upon a hedgehog, can use shocks of thunder, and talks hysterically.
 * Vulturon (Condorock) the Condoroid, possibly a vulture Reploid, has a weapon resembling a guitar, which he uses sounds to attack with.
 * Bifrost the Crocoroid, a crocodile reploid who is ice based.

Biometal Model A
A new Biometal has been revealed: Model A. This Biometal was excavated by an illegal hunter. It activates when the hero is cornered by Pandora and Prometheus, transforming him/her into the powerful Mega Man Model A. This Rockman can gain experience from every battle and appears to have a copy ability (A-Trans) similar to Axl's, as well as dual handguns (another similar trait). When in Model A, wall-jumping and dashing abilities become available. A Giga Crush attack is also available.

Even though Model A seems to have extremely similar traits with Axl, it was created by Master Albert as a back-up system for himself, similar to his "dummy body" seen in the game prior to the final levels. This is why it is named Model A(lbert). As such, Model A has no relation to X-series character Axl. 

Gameplay
New features of gameplay when compared to the original ZX game include a homing shot and the ability to carry weapons without a Live Metal. There is 6 Biometal forms in total with addition of the 8 A-Trans forms. The other four biometals are Models H, F, L, P, and ZX.
