Description

An ambitious crossover few saw coming, Project X Zone threw together worlds from Capcom, Sega, and Bandai Namco into one explosive tactical RPG. In this episode, we dive into the chaotic brilliance behind this mashup — from Resident Evil and Street Fighter to Tekken and Xenosaga — and explore how it somehow all worked. We discuss the over-the-top combat animations, deep fan service, and the challenge of managing a story with dozens of franchises colliding at once. Project X Zone wasn’t perfect, but it was a love letter to decades of gaming history — the kind only Japan could deliver with such charm and madness.
