Cool! We finally get to see another digger/spotter team in action. I see... So the actual new heroine is a spotter for an unnamed digger. I guess either design that wins will still have the same background story. I thought they may all have different stories but that's fine by me. That would actually be quite a few different stories if it worked that way... What's this about "teams" I wonder? Will the new heroine spotter and new digger be part of a certain team or something? Very interesting.

While I assume they have a rough draft of her role, I believe they said that things such as her personality and the end result of how she's put into the game could have drastic results based on the design chosen.
I guess that's why they want to get a contest like this one out early so they have time to plan ahead.

I rather like Higurashi's design; the clothes, gloves, boots, and hairbands(?) look very Legends-ish; while her gogglehat has more of a Steampunk feel to it - which could fit in quite well with Legends.
Inafune's scares me.

That gives a lot of possibilities with this character.

(Post edited a few times.) I'm thinking this new heroine may be a third love interest for MegaMan, turning this into a love square rather than a triangle. She'd be an alternative to Roll and Tron because if he had to make a choice between the two, a lot of fans would be angry on both sides of the fence. Anyways, @ the above.... Keiji's design looks to me like he tried tossing all of the MML characters into a melting pot and this was the result. Roll's Gloves.... Yuna's Pigtails (as sideburns).... Sera's Boots as an underlayer.... Tron's Shoes as an overlayer.... Teisel's Hair.... Glyde's Hair Color.... Matilda's Shirt.... MegaMan's Undies....Loathe's Shirt as a Belt.... And a color pattern that just screams "CLASH!" --- Also, fill in all the blanks of UGR's link with "MegaMan" and you'll see that his name fit perfectly in all cases (except the quotes where she's referring to someone else).

I dont know... when I read the translation I get the feeling its a totally different group of people. With all the talk about the "team mates" I just can't help but think that its an entirely different Digging group.

With all the talk about the "team mates" I just can't help but think that its an entirely different Digging group. That's the thing though.... With the way MML2 ended where Roll and Tron were somewhat able to cooperate, and with how the Bonnes didn't have any money at the time, I'm thinking that it's likely they'll team up. My prediction is that it's going to take a leaf from MegaMan X8's book where you pick a spotter as you undertake missions against the Elder System. The new girl will be the third spotter which makes a complete mirror-image team of Alia, Layer, and Pallette. Of course, it'll probably be done Legends-style and not X-style, but it's still a similar environment in both games.

Well... I can see how it could end up like that, but really I cannot see it being like that any more than meeting them later on in the game after Trigger gets back. Maybe I'm not reading your post right.
Personally I like keeping it Rock and Roll. Some people think that the heroine should be a tag along digger for Mega Man, but of course we know they will be a spotter. It is plainly stated that the character will not be as good of a spotter as Roll, and everything else listed makes it look like she will not be as good as Roll in any way, and she is younger (14)

IIRC, MegaMan's only 16 in MML2 and 15 in MML1. And we all know it's going to be a Cataclysm if MegaMan ends up with either Tron or Roll because countless fanboys will go to war because the internet rivalry is greater than that of Tron vs Roll itself. Probably why she's here in the first place. I'm guessing the scenario pans out like this: -Shuttle Launches and brings MM/Yuna/Sera back home. -MM has to go on digs immediately to recover lost Zenny. -MM meets *insert new heroine here,* saves her life in the ruins, and she suddenly falls in love with him because of that. Teams up with MM in the aftermath. -Quotes in above link makes sense. Details may be a little sketchy but maybe she ran in after her digger got in trouble or something. It's a generic plot to make things even more complicated. Because we all know MegaMan's quite the playa. Attachments:

I don't know about a war over Megaman's choice. It's all about Roll for him. Always was, always will be. Tron is infinitely better than Roll in every respect, but it was obvious in the first game that Megaman had horrible taste, so it can't be helped.
Has anyone considered that the game might just start off on Terra after Megaman has been rescued from Elysium? They could always do a recap cutscene or something, but I wouldn't be surprised if MM's journey back to Terra is wrapped up quickly. This is a cliffhanger that is over ten years old, and they have to try to appeal to new players who will be playing MML3 as their first Legends game, so I don't think its unreasonable to expect some glossing over and reintroducing of a lot of the characters and ideas of the series.
Just a thought, not a concrete theory of mine. I prefer not to speculate this early in the development of any game. I always come up with expectations that are never met, thus spoiling the game to a certain extent.

I've added a link to the Dev Room on the first post.
But to answer that question, it's more than likely the case. Taken from a news page there (it may just be another marketing ploy):

Excuse me... I... I need a second to catch my breath...
Ok. Now you see... THIS is what I get for not coming here as often as I should!!! Heck, I only heard of Legends 3 from a brief mention in one of LittleKuriboh's videos! I still can't believe it... all these years. The planning, speculating, dreaming... it's finally happening? I'm still trembleing with excitement. I sort of get what Cere is feeling now. Those RPs and fanfics and games we were making... now we're finally going to see them become meaningless~ Though they were still fun, and I don't think of them as a waste of time anymore. Infact, wouldn't it be a kick if some of the things we cooked up ended up being in the game?
Though now it seems I have to get the new 3DS... Looks like I will be saving up again. I'm actually surprised by some old faces showing up (especially Dia) I warms my heart that their love of this glorious series is still so deeply rooted in their hearts.
As for the new character designs... aparently I'm late to the party, as the links go to absolutey nothing for me... but as of the three pictures kobun posted, I'd have to go with the middle one by Hayato Kaji. The reason is because Inafune's looks too similar to Roll, and it always irks me when two characters who aren't related look too similar to each other, unless played for laughs. Sensei Haruki I liked, but I guess the light blue just didn't do it for me... Aparently Shinsuke Komaki had a design but because none of the links go anywhere and Kobun didn't put his up I can't judge on that.
As for Zero being in the game: I'm for it, but not in the way everyone else seems to want him in it for. The usual idea is for him to be of the same rank as Megaman Trigger was, but wouldn't that make him just a carbon copy of Megaman Volnutt? No... I think it would be nice just to have him as a regular digger travelling the world that you meet in various side-quests, possibly with a Spotter that greatly resembles Ciel dressed in clothing similar to Iris or resembling Iris dressed in clothing similar to Ciel. After all, Zero's warrior spirit was put to rest at the end of his series. He's fought hard and now has earned a nice, quiet life digging for refractors.... and also being a floating head accompanying what is possibly a brother/sister duo.
Wow... It's been so long. I... I need to replay the entire series. I'll be on later~

Wow, haven't been here in ages!!! ;D I was at Gamestop the other day and I overheard the employees talking about a Legends 3. I immediately came here to see what was up. Let me tell you. I had one big smile when I saw this section. Can't believe it, after all these years I'm starting to believe in Megaman again. Soooo... Any new details? ?
