Hello everyone, nice to meet you. Good afternoon, good evening. I’m Takahiro Sakurai, acting as Mega Man X. Phew, it’s been such a long time! I missed this role. When I was recording I gathered up a history of X’s lines.He hesitates and agonizes, but always keeps fighting. I still recall those feelings when acting as X. He is always fighting, not just against Mavericks but also something inside himself that he can’t avoid. I think he’s a really serious character.
And this game, wow, it really blows my mind. It crosses so many borders it might get a little controversial… maybe it already is?
Anyway, as a gamer going all the way back to the NES, it’ll be a bit like a dream world having this great variety of characters joining in. I can’t wait to play it, so I hope it’s out sooner than later!
You can play it as a straight action game, or take time to enjoy the characters and drama, but either way it’ll be awesome! Please look forward to this one! Take care.
