Monolith Soft is going all out in the characters department of Project X Zone. A new blog post on the game’s official site states that over 200 characters will be included. Although allies and enemies represent that number, additional characters will appear only during event scenes.
The same blog post mentions that there will be many enemies taken straight out of the franchises from Namco Bandai, SEGA, and Capcom. Players will encounter these characters as regular foes and bosses.
Finally, the blog made note of a few gameplay-specific details. We’ve posted them below.
– Ally “phase” happens when you can move your ally units
– During this phase, you can freely move the character around his highlighted area similar to RPGs
– Treasure boxes and obstacles will be in the area
– No penalty for making extraneous movements to open treasure boxes and destroy obstacles before attacking the enemy
– This allows you to do a lot in a single phase
– Character’s turn ends after the attack command is selected
