Project X Zone 3 (TenchiMuyoFan97)

Project X Zone 3 is a tactical crossover RPG between Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Sega, along with Nintendo returning with Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles franchises. It is a sequel to Project X Zone 2.

Gameplay
Like its prequels, players strategically maneuver their characters across a field to battle with the enemy. Characters are paired up into Pair Units, with Solo Units consisting of a single character able to assist them when linked together. In battle, players use well-timed attacks and combos to do as much damage to the opponent as possible before their turn ends. Unlike Project X Zone 1 and 2, some chapters will include a couple of battles with different enemies and bosses to face.

New Gameplay Additions
Example: Fuuka Yamagishi can fully heal a pair unit with Oracle.
 * Navigator Units: A new type of unit that can be equipped to a pair unit alongside a solo unit. Unlike solo units, they can assist a unit they're equipped with once per battle, such as healing the unit, raising the unit's stats, inflicting the status condition on enemies, curing the unit's status condition(s), decreasing enemies' stats, etc.


 * Single Unit: Similar to Namco X Capcom, but unlike it, a solo unit or a pair unit with one of the people from it can temporarily be alone to fight during certain parts of the story, like Labrys against Sheath and the boss battle with Alisa for example, just in cases when a hero is brainwashed, betrays the group, goes off alone, etc. However, they don't get experience as a result.


 * Overworld Animations: Not 100% gameplay, but during the story outside of cutscenes, certain characters do different animations in the overworld to show their reaction to something happening or if they’re doing an action, not just walking, like in the Persona series. And during gameplay, whenever an enemy damages a unit or a boss does a normal attack to a unit, the unit (depending on the character shown from the pair unit) will have an attacked animation to show them being hit.

Fan-made Characters/Forms

 * Mimic - Mimic is a boss unit that debuts in Chapter 37. An anti-shadow weapon created by Ouma with the Kirijo Group's files that Saya stole as a counter-measure to Aigis and Labrys. Despite that, he isn't equipped with a Persona. Being a part of Ouma, he is loyal to Saya & is willing to do whatever she pleases to make sure Ouma's plans succeeds, but cares for nobody that isn't part of Ouma, nor allied with them, and uses his shapeshifting skills to transform into anyone he wants to be to use his victims for the good of Ouma or to rid them of existence. Despite being created by Ouma to take down the Shadow Operatives and Shinra, even though he, Aigis, and Labrys were created by two different groups, he refers to the two as his 'sisters' and decided that it'll be better to convince Labrys to return to Ouma and Aigis to join Ouma.
 * Byaku Shin mk II - Byaku Shin mk II is the final boss. He is Byaku Shin's upgraded form that Ouma gave to her after summoning her once again. Like in Project X Zone 2, her goal is to unify the worlds through Shibuya to rule over the unified world as its god. But this time, after Mimic succeeds on distracting Shinra, the Shadow Operatives, and their allies, she was summoned by Ouma once again and succeeded on unifying all the worlds together, trapping everyone inside the unified world until they defeat her.

Characters

Bosses
Note: Despite Mew bring a protagonist in the Jet Set Radio series, in Project X Zone 3, she gets brainwashed by Purge into becoming his bounty hunter, hence her being a boss unit there.
