Ok, this topic is to help us understand MMZ and will mostly see how it would relate to Legends. I'm going to start out with the story in the manual. First, the story in its entirety.
The Reploid War, sparked by the Sigma Virus that drove reploids berserk, lasted for centuries. Finally our hero, MegaMan X, put an end to the everlasting battle. At last, people were able to begin reconstructing the world.
The City of Neo Arcadia, was established as a primary base for building a world where everyone could live happily. People went at the restoration work cheerfully, with smiles on their faces. However, this "people's paradise" soon became a disaster for reploids. The government, fearful of the threat of the reploids going berserk, accused and arrested them for any reason - or no reason at all.
Those fortunate reploids who could escape were forced to seek safety in a devestated city. To stay alive, they mined its limited stores of energy for their own use. Ciel, a human and former reploid researcher, emigrated with the reploids to the ruined city. She could not abandon them while they were falsely accused by the government. She was determined to find a way to help them.
The evil hand of the government is about to extend to the reploid sanctuary. The reploids will all die if something isn't done quickly. Ciel remembers the name of Zero, the legendary reploid rumored to be sleeping in suspended animation at some hidden place near Neo Arcadia.
"If the legend is true ... he might save us ..."

Now, I'm going to highlight some parts and let you know what I think. The Reploid War, sparked by the Sigma Virus that drove reploids berserk, LASTED FOR CENTURIES. That's right, it takes place HUNDREDS of years after X. We're getting closer and closer to MegaMan Legends. The City of Neo Arcadia, was established as a primary base for building A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE COULD LIVE HAPPILY. People went at the restoration work cheerfully, with smiles on their faces. Sounds like Elysium to me.... Those fortunate reploids who could escape were forced to seek safety in a DEVASTATED CITY. To stay alive, they mined its LIMITED STORES OF ENERGY for their own use. Sounds like ruins and refractors..... The evil hand of the government is about to extend to the reploid sanctuary. The reploids will all die if something isn't done quickly. Ciel remembers the name of Zero, the legendary reploid rumored to be sleeping in SUSPENDED ANIMATION at some hidden place near Neo Arcadia. Sound like how MegaMan Volnutt was found by gramps...

that's a good point you have there. maybe they did that on purpose, so that MML3 would have zero in it.

Zero IS possible. He could be locked away in a ruin like Juno or like his is in MMZ.

I'd HATE to see Zero in the Legends series. That's the reason why I like every other MegaMan series over the X and Zero series. Zero turned the MegaMan games into dark, serious games. The Zero Virus, all that stuff made the plot complicated. Don't get me wrong, EVERY MegaMan series has a wonderfully thought up and deeply complicated plot, but none are as serious and dark as the X series's and Zero series's plot. The Legends series, you can get into it's deep complication, and still smile at MegaMan and Roll, working together on digs, and laugh at Tron's silly reactions to her awkward crush on MegaMan. What do you have to smile about in the X series? The friendship of X and Zero... and that's about it. And it gets worse in the Zero series, I think there's NOTHING heart-warming about that dark plot on a destroyed, near-dead planet Earth. Besides... seeing Zero in Legends-style graphics is just... too freaky to think about.

Complicated Plots? Ever play Deus Ex? X is nothing compared to it.

Complicated plots may never get thicker than Legends. Just look at how many times I had to watch those movie scenes to make sense out of the game!

Ah but danny, thats what X and Zero were supposed to be! SOME disaster had to make things to the point that Elysium had to be built! X-Zero series displays those disasters, in a very thourough way. Well, maybe 4&5 didnt, but usually, it does it job c:pD But yeah, Zero in legends grafix would be,.....weird. But knowing capcom, they might do it. They seem to like makin heros fight each other at some point... O BTW, have you noticed that the enemies in the X series look more like reaver bots? Think about it. No pupils, and a solid shiny color, with sometimes odd body parts! I think that legends 3 should be getting some hinting pretty soon.

Wow I like this idea. I hope we do get to see some connection. Even if its only the remains of so old character. Like maybe Sigma's head or somthing like that. A peace of one of X's old Armors. I'll settle for even Rolls vacum lol ;D

Hey so do you think I had a point about X enemies begining to look more and more like reaver bots? Take the one big robot that holds Ciel hostage. No feet, cylindrical parts, and somewhat unproportionate. Kinda like that one in Lake Jynn that dived at you to attack. The spikey yello one.
Yep. Begun the tie in has.

yeah....you got somethin there. The mets are now the ONLY(i think) regular enemy to have white eyes with pupils. And as we all know, revaer bots have no pupils. It will tie in in Number 2 ive heard. I think X mentions the master system at the end. From what ive heard.
