It’s clear that this game is aiming for a Japanese market, meaning you’ll have a lot of text and a lot of references to the source material you won’t always understand. This means you’ll encounter a lot of characters and not all of those are that well-known to the Western public. It’s not much of an innovating story but it’s a perfect way to connect a lot of different worlds and gaming franchises. Not long after their first discovery, they’ll find out those golden chains appeared in several places in space and time. It all starts in Japan where they discover mysterious golden chains.
The game focuses around Shinra, a mysterious group that deals with paranormal threats. It’s the perfect marriage of old and new and the perfect way to start a new adventure, don’t expect it to be an easy to follow or light story however. If you have played the first Project X Zone, you’ll be pleased with these subtle little nods while newcomers can enjoy the story even without understanding those nods. That doesn’t mean that this game doesn’t offer subtle references to the events that happened before. So let’s start with the story, you don’t need to know the events of Project X Zone to understand the story of this sequel. Since it includes characters from popular manga and popular games, the game is destined to have a lot of fans but is it actually any good? The story isn’t really that good but the presentation and gameplay transform the game to a very accessible SRPG. It’s a miracle a game like this makes it outside of Japan but thank Bandai Namco for the effort. Project X Zone 2 is a unique game since it combines a dozen of characters of several different franchises, owned by five different companies.
