I also would like to see no more continuity-crossovers than we already have come to be. If you ask me, having MegaMan fight against "CentaurMan Trigger" would be unbelievably LAME, and the same goes for all the other -Men as well.
If I saw Zero show up, I'd have to take the disc out of my system and burn it. Since discs don't burn that well, I would be very angry and have no choice but to fanatically destroy the producers' cars or whatever also.
The only reason Wily worked was because it was a big joke and he was only peripherally involved in the game. Just like having the Mega Man TV series be a minuscule part of the plot as well.
I would like to see the game be centered around one or two big islands, leaving a feel for exploration, but letting an island have more than one or two Ruins. Cause I thought that was kind of dull.

It'll HOPEFULLY be longer and show some more of the bonnes but still have other pirates in it, maybe making it like each island is like a smaller version of kattelox.(as in getting to spend more time on each island instead of the "one dungeon and let it rot." thing that legends2 did.)

Wow. Talk about reviving an old topic. A month and a day from now and it'd be like a year old... Anyway, yeah, I agree. Things should be more like Kattleox where you can get really used to the area, instead of travelling ALL frickin over Terra, only exploring ONE ruin... although, technically, on Kattleox you only explore one ruin... I believe I made a prediction here, did I not? Let me check.... No? No prediction huh? Well alright then. My idea: Well first the graphics will be more today's style. Just because. I mean, I've made this point at least twice before - I have no problem with Legends's graphics, but better never hurt nothing. Imagine, if you can, Elysium in stunning beautiful graphics. Exploring ruins that look blindingly realistic. Etc, etc. "Pitch, it'll never happen. They didn't even so much as bother to keep up with the times when Legends was released, I doubt they'll do it for a sequel to a half dead series." Ah-hah. It can happen and it may happen. The thing is, Capcom thinks in terms of money. The battle network series for instance. Those games brought in a big chunk of money, and so they kept making new ones - and eventually improved the graphics(yes, the tiny graphics are an improvement). When Capcom initially made DASH, it was because of Sony's stupid three dee only policy. Now Capcom is re-releasing DASH. Should that go well, I think Capcom may see it in their best interests to make some improvements to DASH. Alright, now in terms of storyline, I see it as this: - Tron and Roll will FINALLY build a rocket that gets to Elysium
- The Rocket will get to wherever the heck Yuna/Matilda, Sera/Yuna, and Trigger are.
- On the return trip, the Rocket will stop functioning and crash land on a "mysterious" island.
- That Island will turn out to be none other than Kattleox.
- Something or someone will be attacking somewhere.
- Enter the intro mission.
- From there, maybe we'll start to hear about what the elder System is, and why it was replaced by the Master's System - though personally I think the elder System really just consisted of thoughtless emotionless Betas, the ones the Master hadn't "modified". But knowing Capcom, they'll find some way to turn this into a cross-over. Perhaps the ever popular "The Elder System will bring back X and ZELO" idea.
- Somewhere in the midst of all this Roll, Tron, and company will find Trigger.
- Lotsa action, perhaps some battles against the Bonnes and Glyde..s
- After all that, in the end of the game, Yuna and Sera, Yuna still being in Matilda's body, and Sera still in Yuna's, will go into the Main Gate to contact Eden. From there they will aquire back up shells, so that Sera can be Sera, Yuna can be Yuna, and Matilda can go back to being Matilda. I say this because Juno contacted Eden to have a back up of himself made, I assume Units as proficient as Yuna and Sera could do the same.
- And then the game will end something like my signature.
I should write that as a fanfic or something...

Yeah, I too would like to see Yuna as Yuna, Sera as Sera, and Matilda as Matilda once more. And if they get re-configured into their own respective shells, couldn't they re-create Trigger's as well?
Also, I'd like for Joseph/Banner to get his memory back and dump that random lady in Yosyonke. That way the Casketts can once again be one big happy family.

I dunno about Trigger's shell. I always assumed he was more unique than the other System units. If they could've made a back up of his shell, why didn't Yuna do it after Trigger and Sera were at a standstill?
And I think Joe pretty much recovered his memory. Doesn't he say something like "He's the one, Roll." during some scene in the hopsicle? Finding him might be a nice touch for a third game; though I'm not sure where else a person could go in Legends after pretty much travelling all over Terra in MML2...

Go ahead. It's what I made the thread for. We've got all the time in the world Maybe Yuna did make a backup of Trigger's shell, and they have to search the far depths of the area to find it... Maybe Joe was delerious. He'd just hit his head. Perhaps once he passed out again, he forgot he'd said anything. Who knows? And that map made Terra appear round...and it appeared as though Trigger only did get to cover about 1/4 of its total surface area. Terra is round, right? There is probably another side to it, which explains why we never saw Kattelox Island mixed in with all the others.

That and Kattleox is a tiny little island in the middle of nowhere, but conveniently located not too far from a ruin, so that should your airship have any trouble, you can crash it there. lol, I honestly suspected that Kattleox would be some haunted island or something like that the first time I played.
But yeah, they could easily make up more places for you to go, or other areas in places you've already been, if they wanted. I'd personally hope for another ONE-Island game.
About Joe.. that's actually been something I'd been thinking about a while back. I have a speculation I'd been working over a month or so ago, that Yuna went and visited Joe, and let Matilda and him talk(of course that is a stretch, because it assumes Yuna's body can not only hold two people's personalities, but switch between them), and maybe he left after that, because they decided it was best. Of course, I have absolutely no proof of that, but I never did like the idea that he leaves right after the one thing that makes ya really wanna come back and talk to him.
Either way, seein' him again and getting some clarification on that matter would be nice.

Alright.. Theory time~ On Trigger: I remember reading in a Capcom art book that Trigger was a new version of X. It's likely that the Master favored him because of this. It could be that Trigger had X's memories and personality, so this could have contributed as well. He has no memory of this time, because he put his memories into Data. This is only a bit of what I have on Trigger.
On Terra: Terra is likely Earth. In RMZ4, <SPOILER!> Eurasia/Ragnarok fires repeated blasts into the earth(I forget how many), but the destruction was cataclysmic. This could explain the craters on the MML2 world map. It also destroyed Neo Arcadia. I believe Neo Arcadia may have been the Elder System Yuna mentions. This would pose a serious problem if it reactivated because: Neo Arcadia treated non-humans as problems that needed to be removed. Carbons aren't humans, they're artificial copies. The Elder System reactivating would suck badly. <Spoiler>
I've got more, but I'm getting sleepy =<

Well it's been said that DASH falls on the same timeline as X (and as a result, the Classic series and Zero series as well), but never really said anything about him being X, iirc. It's possible, and you'd think it'd almost have to be true, what with the Master's interest in him, but not proven.
Terra is probably earth, and the thing about the flood makes sense. I've never been too keen on the "neo arcadia is the elder system" idea though, because (correct me if I'm wrong) the Zero series started after Legends 2 had come out. A couple years after.

Well, Battle Network began production a little over a DECADE after the original Mega Man series, but that series is obviously set before Mega Man (come on, they've got fighting digital pets instead of robots! It can't be THAT far into the future!)

Actually, contrary to popular belief (and what I thought too @_@), Mega Man Battle Network takes place after the original series. Supposedly, Dr. Light is Lan Hikari's (which means "light" in Japanese) grandfather. Let me pull up the link for you guys who probably don't believe me seeing as I got stuck in the first Mega Man Battle Network game and never went back : Wikipedia Entry Oh, upon rereading it, it says it's an alternate reality @_@. Still, it takes place after Dr. Light, so I'm technically correct, the best kind of correct. ANYWAYS, I'm surprised no one thought of a prequel game where you go to the fight between Sera and Trigger and before that. Maybe not the whole game is focused on that, but part of it would be awesome. I agree with most people, a revisit to Kattelox would be nice. And Megaman and the Bonnes teaming up to take down the tyrannical Mayor Amelia would rule too. But seriously, a team up would be nice. I would like to see that one up-and-coming digger who was in the junk shop in the first one come back. They never really did anything with him. New graphics would be nice as well as cel-shading. More of the system characters would kinda bog it down, though. The thing that's great about the series is that it doesn't have the "Bad Apple" character like Zero or Vegeta that every tween across the country falls in love with and you know that they could do one of those in the system. Corny as it may sound, I'd like to see some robot master guardians or diggers . I guess I'm too obsessed with the classic series..... A PYRAMID RUIN WITH PHARAOH MAN AT THE TOP WOULD RULE AND YOU KNOW IT!!!

Actually Dr. Hikari and Dr. Right are two entirely different people, though they are similar in design, but you have to keep in mind, EXE is really just a big cameo series. And yes, his name is Dr. Right, it's on his logo or something. Someone prooved it a while ago somewhere else. Also BN couldn't be in the same timeline, unless it was some like twilight zone type place, as the EXE series is during 200X, like the classic series. The classic series runs into 20XX, too, before you say BN could come after Classic, despite that. So yeah. I seriously doubt it came before Classic too, because BN takes place during 200X, which leaves very litte time for any of the younger, or even the older characters to grow into the Doctors Right, Wily, and Cossak we all know. </massively off topic, but informative post> has no one said anything about an early System game? Shoot, I swear I've posted that idea like a bazillion times. While I personally feel I'd much rather watch that, than play it, but it would be interesting to say the least. Robot Master styled characters would be a nice touch, but I'd certainly (you have no idea how long it took me to type that word o.o) wouldn't want it to turn into a "typical" MegaMan series. Though some elemental weapons would be phun to play around with.

Mmmm... As confirmed by the book I have, Perfect Memories, Classic->X->Zero->Legends. Battle Network is a spinoff and has -NO- place in the timeline.

Honestly, I don't WANT cel-shaded graphics in MML3. I think they're WAY overused, and would take away from the Legends experience. I'd rather they used graphics like the ones from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, which still look anime-like, yet lack the bold outlines of cel-shading, making the characters appear more three-dimensional.
