Mega Man X8 (Video Game)	comment	As the Grand Finale to the Mega Man X series, spoilers for all the previous games preceding this one, including Mega Man X7 may be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Mega Man X8 is the eighth and final game (so far) in the Mega Man X series released in North America for the PlayStation 2 on December 7, 2004. It was later released in Japan, Europe, South Korea in the following year along with a port on Windows PC.It is the year 21XX, long after the Red Alert incident. The humans seek asylum from the Maverick Wars by colonizing the Moon in the "Jakob Project". As part of this project, a new generation of Reploids are put into production. Each contains a DNA Copy Chip that lets them freely change their bodies and nullify viral infections (Axl is revealed to be a prototype of these Reploids), making them immune to the Sigma Virus. These new generation Reploids help construct an orbital elevator to transport workers and materials into space. The director of the project is a Reploid named Lumine.However, Lumine is suddenly kidnapped by the Maverick Hunters' old enemy Vile, and a worldwide Maverick riot breaks out amongst the new generation Reploids. The Jakob Project has been hijacked for reasons unrelated to any virus. Now it's up to X, Zero, and Axl to stop these new Mavericks and rescue Lumine.As you may have guessed by now, the gameplay of X8 is very much like its predecessors as players complete a series of stages and defeat the bosses to earn their special weapon. In addition to gaining special weapons from bosses, players can develop upgrades for the heroes with Metals scattered through the stages and dropped by slain enemies. Just like Mega Man X7, players bring a duo of Maverick Hunters into each stage; however, this time, all three playable characters are available from the get-go, each with their own distinct gameplay style. Despite this game's use of 3D visuals, the developers ditched the 3D free-roaming gameplay of X7 after being harshly criticized by critics and fans alike and went with a 2.5D approach akin to the previous games in the series.The game's eight Maverick bosses are all part of the rioting new generation Reploids: Optic Sunflower, a virtual reality trainer. He gives Shining Ray (X), Tenshouha (Zero), and Ray Gun (Axl). Gravity Antonion, an anti-gravity researcher. He gives Squeeze Bomb (X), Juuhazan (Zero), and Spiral Magnum (Axl). Dark Mantis, a weapons manufacturer. He gives Shadow Runner (X), Rasetsusen (Zero), and Black Arrow (Axl). Bamboo Pandamonium, a rocket science manager. He gives Green Spinner (X), Youdantotsu (Zero), and Blast Launcher (Axl). Gigabolt Man-O-War, an energy maintenance worker. He gives Thunder Dancer (X), Raikousen (Zero), and Plasma Gun (Axl). Earthrock Trilobyte, a metal miner. He gives Crystal Wall (X), Rekkyoudan (Zero), and Bound Blaster (Axl). Burn Rooster, a scrap incinerator. He gives Melt Creeper (X), Enkoujin (Zero), and Flame Burner (Axl). Avalanche Yeti, an environmental researcher. He gives Drift Diamond (X), Hyouryuushou (Zero), and Ice Gatling (Axl).

Mega Man X8 (Video Game) / int_143939c1	comment	Trailers Always Spoil: The game's 2004 TGS trailer uses footage from the FMVs around the end to imply that Lumine is the game's true villain. The E3 2004 trailer in Western territories makes this even more obvious as Lumine (in a modulated voice) thanks the Maverick Hunters for taking Sigma out and assuring them that he isn't coming back.

Mega Man X8 (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Due to confusing writing, the answer to "who's behind who?" in the story is very unclear. Lumine says that Sigma helped his plan all along, and that the entire rebellion was his and the other New-Gen Reploids' doing, which is clearly what The Reveal seems to go for. However, Sigma says that the New-Gen Reploids were his "children", and that Sigma oversaw the Jakob Project which in turn created the New-Gen Reploids including Lumine. This makes it unclear whether the Lumine somehow forced Sigma to bend to his will, Sigma was in charge all along with Lumine simply waiting for the Maverick Hunters to eliminate the former, or the two worked as equals with Lumine simply taking sole control after Sigma's death.

Now Axl's special weapons are completely different from X's and he relies on More Dakka compared to X (akin to a machine gun versus artillery). Axl can also rapid fire in eight directions now (similar to Bass), so he avoids the Denial of Diagonal Attack that continues to plague X.

Easy: All characters' Life and Weapon Gauges are maxed out from the start, all Rare Metals are already unlocked and given to each character (the armor parts for X, however, must be found), players have infinite Retry Chips, and bosses won't perform their desperation attacks at all, however, the game ends at the Gateway, no items from the R&D Lab can be carried over into New Game+ (but the Metals collected can be carried over), and the Navigators and the Ultimate Armors cannot be unlocked. Normal: All characters' Life Gauge starts at 18 HP and Weapon Gauge starts at 72 WE, Rare Metals must be found and developed at the R&D Lab, players have five Retry Chips (three can be developed plus two are available for free between stages), bosses will perform their desperation attacks when their HP reaches 25% or below, the game's final stage is accessible, items developed from the R&D Lab can be carried over into New Game+, and the Navigators and the Ultimate Armors can be unlocked. Hard: All characters' Life Gauge starts at 12 HP and Weapon Gauge starts at 24 WE, players only have three Retry Chips, enemies are 50% stronger and some of them have new attacks compared to Easy and Normal modes, bosses are more aggressive and perform their desperation attacks when their HP reaches 50% or below, two Hard mode-exclusive story sequences are added in the final stage to shake things up, items developed from R&D can also be carried over into New Game+, and the unlockables from Normal mode can also be obtained.

For example, Body Parts I is stated to halve damage, which is true. However, its lack of red health depletion (meaning that all damage X incurs is recoverable by tagging out) is phrased as if it was a drawback, possibly due to translation issues, and its recoil elimination is not explicitly pointed out anywhere.

It's suggested that you demolish them with the Cyclops Armor, but a better alternative is to switch to Axl, stick to the uppermost part of the entrance and wail on all the enemies with the Axl Bullets (or Optic Sunflower's Ray Gun for an even quicker combo increase). As long as Axl keeps firing, he will not slide down, and the enemies won't bother to jump up to hit him. Time-consuming, but it would rack up your hit counter to 200+. An alternate strategy is to simply stand at the left side of the screen and spam the Cyclops' stun cannon whenever the enemy Ride Armors get close enough, which freezes them in their tracks and leaves them wide open for a follow-up pummeling.

Examples include a Rare Metal in Burn Rooster's stage that requires Zero's Juuhazan skill and the T Breaker (the latter of which is found in this stage), a Rare Metal in Noah's Park that requires the Icarus head parts to break a crumbling ceiling, and various Rare Metals hidden in certain stages that require at least the Hermes/Icarus arm parts and X's Crystal Wall to unearth them (one of which also happens to be in Earthrock Trilobyte's own stage).

The drawback is that his normal combo no longer breaks guards (but at least the modified Juuhazan, which breaks guards, is faster to perform) and his attack range is very short.

Gateway is the requisite Boss Rush level, with no minor enemies. It only has three rooms, the starting point (where the main Boss is actually fought), an L-corridor and the hub containing the Boss teleporters. Troia's Intermission replays the whole thing except the boss with Sigma at the end.

Mega Man X8 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Mega Man X8 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Instead of normal lives, the player is given "Retry Chips", and how many can be held vary on difficulty. Easy offers infinite Retry Chips, Normal is limited to three but also provides two free Retry Chip that refreshes in between stages, and Hard is limited to only three. Players can also buy Retry Chips back from the R&D Lab, which also refreshes in between stages and the cheapest Retry Chips are available first. The player can spend Metal at the R&D Lab to refill their Sub-Tanks, instead of having to do so within a level. There are a few Intermission levels that exist solely for the player to grind Metals if they need to. There are now two more navigators — Layer and Pallette — who specialize in giving hints as to boss weaknesses and pointing out secrets in levels, respectively. Players who don't like the Navigator system also have the option to turn it off entirely. Axl can now bank copy abilities for later use instead of transforming on the spot. He can also cancel out of a transformation with the Character Switch button to preserve copy energy, and if he ends up in an area that can only be entered or exited with a copied form, he's locked into that form until he leaves, even if he runs out of energy. Unlike X7, Lazy Backup is (mostly) averted, as unless a character is put in an instant death scenario like falling into Spikes of Doom or into Bottomless Pits, they'll simply retreat while the secondary character takes over. Refilling the Double Attack meter will also restore a bit of that character's health, allowing them to return. If you fall into a Bottomless Pit while in a Ride Armor, your character will automatically eject to give you one last chance to save yourself. The Double Attack is one of the game's gimmicks, and defeating a boss with a Double Attack boosts your Hunter Rank for the stage. If hitting the boss with a One-Hit Kill attack—X's Nova Strike, for example—would kill them, they will survive with one hit point, turn invincible, and execute an easily-avoided Desperation Attack. This ensures that the player can't kill the boss by accident and screw themselves out of the Double Attack finish bonus.

If you're playing the PlayStation 2 version, you can must either have a game save of Mega Man X: Command Mission on your memory card or use a cheat code to fight Cut Man; on the PC version and X Legacy Collection 2 version, however, you have to beat all of the hard level simulations in order to fight him.

Now Axl's special weapons are completely different from X's and he relies on More Dakka compared to X (akin to a machine gun versus artillery). Axl can also rapid fire in eight directions now (similar to Bass), so he avoids the Denial of Diagonal Attack that continues to plague X. The Ride Chaser's blasts now operate differently. Axl auto fires small shots, X must fire them manually but he can charge the shot to cover a larger area, and Zero uses a short range blast that covers a wide arc in front of his vehicle.
