Johnny vs. Mega Man X: Command Mission

[@dprototype6431]

That "cardboard Zero" comment caught me off guard, it's funny because his voice actor got drunk and did a playthrough of X8 while wearing a cardboard Zero cosplay. I've never played Command Mission, but I love its soundtrack and I spent a lot of time listening to it in the car on my college commute.

Fun fact concept art shows this was originally going to be a crossover between the classic and X games. It’s unknown why this was scrapped but I heard a rumor Infune threatened to quit Capcom over the idea of having the two series meet. However given the lack of source take this with a grain of salt. The cutman boss in X8 by having save data for command mission is a remnant of this early story. Edit: Johnny hearted me!

The marathon has ended for now and games have been reviewed. But those who sacrificed themselves for the victory will never return. At least not until the next game.

He only knows that he'll look at Mega Man games again before he finds his answer. How long will he keep on reviewing? How long will his pain last?

05:15 Well in Megaman ZX, Reploids can opt to be given lifespans but I have no idea about the "growing" process. The "rebuilt" to look older method DOES happen once in Megaman Zero. But the Reploid Andrew did it because the woman he fell in love with was growing old and so he didn't want her to be painfully aware of her age everytime he saw her young looking husband.

[@trueblueryu5713]

Sorry you didn’t end up enjoying this game that much. Gonna be honest, this is actually one of my favorite RPGs just due to the relative simplicity and speed of it. Yeah, it can take a while to get used to it, and there isn’t really much of any world building, but I find that the combat and music are fun, and the combat system is a nice FFX style where the individual characters are more useful. Marino breaks the super bosses and the ultimate forms for X and Zero are wicked cool.

[@redwidow1358]

I'm gonna be honest, I played the GameCube version of the game, and it was the better version. I loved it as a kid, and never really got why people hated on it until I was 12 ish, but over time, as I grew up and learned about game design and everything, I just came to like it more.

[@trueblueryu5713]

I always had the GameCube version, so maybe that helps, but I feel like it’s just one of those games that gets better on subsequent playthroughs since you know a lot of the tricks better.

[@MaxxSkywalker]

I too, enjoyed this game on the Gamecube. Sure it's flawed, but it's still fun.

[@Nightmaresc5]

@@trueblueryu5713 That's exactly it, i played it as a kid and i loved it one of the first rpg's i owned back in the 2000's, i've played it so much times i could probably speedrun it if i wanted too. i esppically liked the optional bosses if you go in blind the ninetail clan can send you home packing.

[@Gebunator]

Oh boy, do the ultimate forms break the game so bad? There was a FME that let characters start a round with full WE, another FME that made them immune to all status effects and FME that had super high erosion but granted godly stat boost NOW, FME hazard manifested as status effects. Yep, broke the game. The full weapon energy with ultimate forms arleady broke the game. Since charges didn't get spend if you finished a battle before next character's next turn. I also like the game, it has odd charm to it

[@Hypershell]

Should have played the GCN version; controller wouldn't have messed with your head as much. I actually liked Command Mission. Yeah, it's basic as an RPG, but there's lots of hidden items and weapons to dig up if you really want to, and I really love Marino and Cinnamon even if they do get completely shafted after their introduction. And it's a shame to skip the optional bosses, because X's and Zero's extra Hyper Modes (Zero's only actual "armor" outside of that old collectible card set) are complete badassery. Fun side note, this is the first time we heard GOOD voices in Mega Man X. Remember, this was before X8, so Mark Gatha, Lucas Gilbertson, and the gang had this one first, then X8, then Maverick Hunter X.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

While, as you said, this game is in its own little continuity, I can still explain the "aging" of reploids as depicted in the main timeline. In the Zero series, there's an old-man Reploid named Andrew, who was originally built as a youthful man, but decided to remodel his appearance in order to match that of his progressively older human wife. So no, reploids don't physically age, but rebuilding them to simulate the human aging process is a thing. Plus, by the time of the ZX series, reploids are actually required by law to have a "death date" installed to make them equal to humans. There's no mention if visually simulating the aging process became mandatory as well though.

[@MagnusZero]

And now I can't unsee an alternate victory animation of X breaking into a moonwalk after winning a battle. Thanks, Johnny lol.

[@DimBeau]

Cannot wait for your Zero/ZX marathon!

[@TheHiddenBoss]

This game was fairly good when I played it. For one thing, new characters who actually fight on the frontlines alongside X, Zero, and Axl the Maverick Hunter Intern; as opposed to plenty of characters who mostly sit on the sidelines or help in the background, or are bosses that have gone Maverick (Or purposely kicked off the plot of MMX4 just to fight X or Zero because reasons). An RPG is the most convenient way to have a large group of characters working together at the same time even though in reality, two of those characters would never survive jumping the countless pits and spikes that exist in MMX in general. Cinnamon is just amazing in this game. Her healing ability will completely bring your health back to full and depending on what she has on her, will always have access to it when her turn comes. On top of that, she's the only character in the game to have a weapon that hits 10 times in a row and has a chance to inflict all the status effects in the game; sort of like a miniaturized marlboro bad breath in the palm of her hand.

[@franchopancho9389]

I actually quite enjoyed this game. For what it's worth at least. I disagree on it being slightly above Mystic Quest level depth though. If anything, it reminds me most of games like Final Fantasy 4. It has all the "dramatic" clichés and story beats these old turn based jrpgs have. It's got the on and off party members, the dramatic death of a character, the twist villain, the side bosses, the easter egg secrets, the simple dungeon layouts, the whacky yet stereotypical character designs, the npc fodder in the hub worlds, etc.. I like the fact that they took the concept of turn based combat and gave it an (albeit simplistic) twist to it's base mechanics to accomodate for Megaman X mechanics and such, like button presses accessing attacks directly, the hyper mode 'armors' and action triggers, sub-tank energy and force metals, etc. Is it a hidden gem? A noticeably creative role playing game that takes the Megaman X franchise and not only reinvents it from it's core but also deeply explores and enrichesvthe surrounding world of the franchise (Super Mario RPG)? Lmao, hell no. Is it an enjoyable, competent turn based romp for the series? Well, in my opinion, yes. If anyone reading this still feels curious about it, even after watching Johnny's review, I'd say give it a shot. If you love the shit out of pre 2010s turn based JRPGs and love the franchise, I'd say try the game out. You might be surprised. Or not. I don't know, I can't see the future.

[@okagron]

Except FF4 is actually, you know, fun. Combat is quick and snappy and doesn't take forever and i actually care for the characters.

[@magical571]

rose tinted glasses honestly.

[@ThatTravGuy]

Yeah I'd say that's pretty accurate. Growing up I borrowed this game from a friend, only wanting to play it because it's Mega Man X. I never played any RPGs growing up so this game was a first for me, and I was pretty confused. Young me didn't want to waste time with upgrades, I just wanted to run and shoot. I remember getting up to the boss of Chapter 5 before giving up on the game, since my gear (or limited understanding of RPGs) prevented me from beating the boss. I've dabbled with the game on rare occasion since then, always wanting to play more of it feeling like I missed something, but it seems like your Review put a pretty good dent in what I remember the game to be. It was a drag, it was boring, and it was repetitive. A real shame, though I'm still looking forwards to revisiting it.

[@SyniStar616]

7:21 for future confusion, mainline Shin Megami Tensei games(i.e. NOT Persona) use the square button or its equivalent on the platform for the menu while the triangle equivalent is either used as a preemptive combat measure(SMT IV) or unused, the circle equivalent is the confirmation button(SMT IV).

[@terrancetruth]

Johnny, here is the differences between a resistance and a rebellion. The aim of rebellion is to replace one authority (legitimate or illegitimate) with another (legitimate or illegitimate). The aim of resistance is not necessarily to overthrow, but to actively oppose certain actions or rules of an authority or a community, for example discrimination. That's it and you guys have a wonderful night. Til next time.

With all due respect to Johnny, some of the complaints he has aren't as big a deal as he makes them sound. Though most are valid. I loved this game, faults and all, and would recommend it to any Megaman fan with an itch for something a bit less true-to-form. Although I'm sorry to hear that Johnny didn't do the optional bosses. They give Zero and Megaman an extra hyper mode form, each, and the "Absolute Zero" and "Ultimate Armor" hyper modes are fucking cruelly overpowered. The hardest boss in the game has an interesting mechanic where you beat him 9 times with different conditions, getting new rewards each time. The ninth fight is one of the hardest boss fights I've fought in ANY game, and the game knows it. The guy will REVIVE YOUR PARTY FOR YOU if two of your members are dead. That's how OP this guy is. Hopefully Johnny does these boss fights in another video. I would love to see his reaction to the OP forms and cruel uber boss.

OK, I get that this video was meant to be a quick review, but good god did Johhny miss a lot about the story on this one.

Yeah, there's a LOT more to it than "Botos was an ass to her". You see, if you pay attention to the dialogue of both Epsilon AND Redips, you realize that the whole "Rebellion" thing kind of went down something like this: Redips: I hear you just discovered some sort of mcguffin that allows Reploids to become really fucking powerful. I want some. Epsilon: No. This is only meant to be used as a last resort. It's not for Reploids to use haphazardly. Redips. Oh, so that's how it's going to be? Hey everyone, these guys are all Mavericks! Epsilon: Well great, so much for achieving our goals through diplomacy. I didn't want to have to do things the hard way, but if you insist... You also realize through some of Ferham's dialogue that she legitimately sees Epsilon and Scarface as friends- she doesn't so much "turn" on Redips as she does help X defeat the one ultimately responsible for what happened to her friends. And no, Redips didn't form the Rebellion Army. That was indeed Epsilon's doing... but only AFTER Redips declared them all Mavericks when they refused to share the Supra Force Metal with him. Also, Johnny didn't get to play the Gamecube version- the controls are a lot better there.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Yeah, he either forgot about or didn't pay attention to the story very well, which honestly makes this a pretty skewed review, especially when he urges people to avoid it.

[@SuperHamachiBrother1]

Johnny is pretty guilty of ignoring stories he doesn't care for and then calling them lacking in substance when he's not giving a shit about what's going on. instead of just admitting he wasn't paying much attention and calling it a day.

[@Jackfernando4555]

Also in the final strike, you can switch enemies to attack. Something he missed too.

[@RogueOmega]

@@Jackfernando4555 Actually no, he got that right at least. In order to take out multiple enemies in a Final Strike, you have to have reduced multiple enemies to below the FS threshold.

[@usualblokeluke]

I'm glad you finally covered the X series Johnny. I've only played X, X2, X3, X8 and Xtreme 2 but now I'm curious enough to play X4 and even X6

Well Johnny, since this didn't do it for you, hopefully if you ever get to the Battle Network and Star Force games, they will be more your speed as far as Mega Man RPGs. Now as for the Zero games, I can't wait till you get to them, since those are my favorite Mega Man games!

One thing I REALLY always wanted was a Mega Man X rail shooter arcade game with plastic mega busters as the controllers.

[@ShinyGaara65]

Man...I wonder what that says about me when you say Command Mission is boring. :/ Command Mission is legit my favorite Mega Man X game, so...I seriously don't know if I just have bad taste or not.

[@ligtningdog6399]

I love X Command Mission too. But Johnny has a very fair point that, as an RPG, it's very barebones. Especially when compared to Battle Network series.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Considering how goofy Battle Network's story and writing can be, that's a good thing.

[@nicksmith9109]

yeah same here

[@spacethegamer6426]

And another Megaman marathon is over, man does the time flies fast. It felt like yesterday when Johny made the MM1 video and now we're here ending with MM11 and Command Mission of all things!

[@SuperJanitorguy]

While I don't disagree on the plot being bare bones, you missed the point on epsilon. He a lot like magneto in that he wants to set up a safe haven for Mavericks, and he builds what is essentially a nuke as deterrent. Unlike Sigma he is not manipulative of his allies, and genuinely values his comrades. You could argue that he is like General from X4, but a key difference is that Epsilon was not manipulated by the main antagonist.

[@Eviofroblox]

At least out of Command Mission, we got three new characters for the X series! Marino, Cinnamon and Steel Massimo! It would've been cool if they were playable characters other X series games, but alas. Anyways, Cinnamon is a precious Cinnamon Roll.

This game was amazing to me as a child. Megaman X combined with JRPG elements? Sign me up. At that time, I didn't notice all the repetitive chapters or the incredibly formulaic narrative details, but it's certainly clear as day now. Despite all that, one thing about this game I think still absolutely holds up is the soundtrack. Gameplay be damned, Capcom knows how to make a phenomenal Megaman soundtrack, and I think Command Mission's holds up against even the main series. Just your use of the main theme for this game in the opening minutes of this review made me go "Oh, yeaaaaaaaah! I'm excited!" Great video!

[@SabeNo-rh7mb]

Again, making a big story, but trying to keep the actual writing within it to minimum is NOT a good idea.

[@MatchesPeaches]

As soon as the fucking baller theme song kicks in I'm hyped for the episode

[@CarlosCuevasCantautor]

Naaah. This game is not mediocre by any means, it's awesome on his own form. Not the best but very fun overall with good robot design and superb voice acting. The gameplay is more fun than many modern rpg's. In terms of music I loved most of the tracks. For me, a little gem.

[@HumorHabit]

I loved the OST for this game

[@zackschilling4376]

Intro music was way loud

[@ryanbarker3978]

I played the hell out of this one and have fond memories of it. I remember discovering Absolute Zero completely by accident. "Ready to tango with Duck Bill Mole?"

[@misterzygarde6431]

How would you feel about a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, **Persona 3-5,** Family Guy, Sonic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Digimon Tamers, The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Pokemon Sun and Moon anime including Serena from X and Y, Crash Bandicoot and RWBY with Haruko from FLCL, Hat Kid, Popuko and Pipmi from Pop Team Epic, Bomberman, Doom Slayer, Beavis and Butthead also being there? Kirby gets pushed as a second Protagonist to go along with Diddy Kong. Imagine racing against Akko with Izuku, shooting a missile at Gumball, Gumball, Izuku, and Akko smoking pot with their friends, throwing an oil slick at Ren, Ryuji using a bat to knock opponents sideways, Ann using her whip to whip a nearby rival, Yusuke asking Momo if she’d be painted nude, Fregley putting his foot in his mouth to distract the other drivers so they can crash, Futaba showing everyone rule 34, Makoto dodging bombs that Bomberman planted on the race track, etc.

[@octoisgay]

Crossover: The Video Game. In all honesty, that sounds amazing.

[@philatio1744]

Weaboo fantasy meets cartoon odyssey and it sounds really good. A bit jarring, but good. You wond me with LWA and Haruko tbh

[@KamiJoJo]

At least the facial expressions are somehow decent in this, I mean, it's still better than having no face expressions in X7... Could this be the Sonic Adventure 2 of the X series instead of X8 instead? I don't know I leave this to you, I'm confused now. My opinion about the game: It feels slow, maybe because it's an RPG and not the Jump 'n Shooting from the last games, I guess that's why Capcom didn't include this one in the Legacy Collection since it would not fit in.

[@bigathegamer3067]

[@Pastahunter]

Its funny because I got both this megaman game and breath of fire dragon quarter in the same bargain bin when I was like 10 years old at walmart. They were literally right next to one another.

[@metal_gear_rayquaza8914]

I like Command Mission. Not only was it a welcome departure from the Megaman X norm, but consider the fact that rpgs, in general, are usually set in fantasy/medieval environments with magic and stuff. It's not every day we get one in a sci-fi setting. Hell, I'd love to see another rpg of Star Wars. The only one I could think off the top of my head is Knights of the Old Republic. The force meter can the "mana bar" and there are different classes they can take from the source material: Jedi Counselor, Jedi Guardian, Sentinel, Clone Trooper, Bounty Hunter, etc.
