    MM ZXA was pretty much the first Mega Man game I've played in a decade on a console and not an emulator since Mega Man X3.

    Advent is the sequel to the game Mega Man ZX, which takes place after the Zero series, which was a continuation of the X series.The ZX in the series title represents Zero and X the original protagonists. The motif is pretty much sentai and a way to bring together or fuse two characters to one.

    As the series takes place centuries after MMZ4, the beloved creations of Wily and Light, Zero and X, have died and now they live on as Biometal, or Livemetal in Japan. With a Chosen One, they allow the user to Megamerge/Rock On and transform into a Mega Man.

    As ZX focused on the gameplay of both X and Zero, ZX Advent plays like the X series. The game's unique Biometal Model A focuses on the gameplay of Axl, who had the ability to shapeshift, which is pretty much expanded in this game as the ability A-Trans. Each time a player defeats a boss (save for the last three), he/she copies their DNA and gives them the ability to transform into that boss. The ability of A-Trans effectively replaces the Megamerge used in ZX

    Previously, ZX had two characters to choose from, Vent (a male) and Aile (female) though neither character changes the overall gameplay at all. Advent allows the player to choose two completely different characters with their own backgrounds and unique gameplay: Grey, an amnesic male Reploid with great rapid fire and Ashe, a female human with slower fire rate but stronger firepower. Mega Man Model A has access to dual Busters. It's Weapon Energy comes in use for its unique Homing Shot which can be used for multiple opponents to hit at once.

    Aside from that, gameplay is pretty much the same, though Model O, which was based after Omega Zero, is replaced by Mega Man Model 'a', a 'Classic' 8-bit style version of Model A. The game is also occasionally told through cutscenes as well as some anime ones as well, though the difference being is that the game has a full dub cast.

    Any thoughts or questions? o:

    It's model Ox (although Omega isn't related to X in any way and should be model O but still...). ZX Advent had some BAD voice acting. The only ones that didn't annoy me were: Grey, Vent, Models X and Z, the user of Model Hx, Albert, Prometheus, and Pandora. The game was okay but it would have been better if you could play as Vent/Aile instead of the new characters and have an Axl model instead of Model Albert (which was just made to look like and have Axl's abilities). I wanted to use Model Z by itself so badly...or better yet play as Giro (so sad that he died in the last game). I like the redisigns for the 4 guardians though because they look awesome (the new megamerges for them also look cool MEGAMERGE!!!!).

    Aww, what's wrong with Siarnaq? XD And, as much as I like Zero, it woulda just made things difficult, so that's why Model H is there. o:

    That guy had too much of a robotic voice...he is supposed to be a ninja! I can't take him seriously with his voice. Still the best character in this game is Vent because of his awesomeness. I wouldn't think using model Z would be hard, it just needs those awesome saber attacks used by Giro in the first game and all the saber moves Vent/Aile used in ZXA. Model H isn't that great for combat, I just use it to move around then switch to form ZX.
