The Player

The Player refers to the real world individual currently controlling the video game. In the Mega Man franchise, the player plays a role in certain games, and is sometimes directly referred to or addressed to by the characters within the game.

Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation
In 4.5, the Game Boy Advance virtually becomes a PET which the player controls. The player NetNavi acts like the player's NetNavi and will address them directly, asking them various questions about themselves to become familiar with them.

Rockman X DiVE
The Player encounters RiCO in the Deep Log and assists her to fix Irregular Data by using Hunter Programs.

Shironeko Project
The Player from Rockman X DiVE has a small role in the Rockman X DiVE event, being portraited as a hardcore Rockman series player. When a Sigma Virus escaped from the Rockman X cyberworld and went to the Shironeko cyberworld, RiCO asks the Player which Hunter Programs should go after the virus, as players can't operate Hunter Programs in that cyberworld. The Player selected X, Zero and Iris for the mission, the three gaining autonomy via experimental chips.

Trivia
In Rockman X DiVE, the Player is referred as プレーヤ (purēya) in Japanese. However, the common transcription is プレイヤー (pureiyā) and sometimes プレーヤー (purēyā).
