And until they decide to do X9...or I get tech to record Maverick Hunter X, this ends the X series.

all i know is X5 was suppose to be the final X game, the zero series sorta ignores X6,7 & 8. so i can agree that after X5 none of it tecnicly happened. however in X6 zero was put to sleep in a way (i dont remember sorry) so i guess that can connect to the zero series but besides that its all i know. still however X8 is a great game. great job clement & thank you every1 for your great opinions, speculations & theorys about all this. Gamers unite!

The explanation for reploids being "sigmas" is that sigma by going against asimov law of robotic decided to put his well being before the well being if humans, becoming "maverick". By incorporating him to the new generation the new reploids can "go maverick at will".

The explanation for new reploids being "sigmas" is that sigma decided for personal reasons to go against humans. The new ones have that capacity to do the same, putting themselves before humankind.

@Yggdrasi7 the laws of robotics are not a driving factor behind the megaman series. Yes, Light was worried about X breaking the first law, but they are NOT a factor here.

@OmegaX74 Zero series doesnt ignore them at all, Area X is actually an orbital elevator left over from the maverick wars which was damaged and rendered useless, so they outfitted it with traps and such to foil intruders. the shaft itself in the artwork says "ORBITAL ELEVATOR SHAFT" or something similar.

in fact, in Zero 3, in Area X-2, you can see other orbital elevators in the background in the sky.

and ZX Advent directly references the copy ability

Some surprisingly deep and thought-provoking ideas that X8 brings up.

I don't know if it fully does justice to it, but the idea of reploids becoming so advanced that they no longer need humanity, that they can make the decision to rebel against humanity is interesting.

A rather dark idea, really, that by spreading Sigma's data amongst all the new generation of reploids they've reached the state where they want to discard humanity and create a new reploid world.

I think Dr. Wily created not only the first Reploid but also the first Maverick - Zero. In Bass' ending in MM Power Battles 2, Wily is already working on Zero, prior to any mention of reploids. Mavericks came about because Dr. Cain reverse engineered Reploid tech from Dr. Light's lab ruins without the programming hibernation X went through to stop reploids from going Maverick, but Zero had already been built with the Zero virus.

@MarkIV19 lol yeah i read your comment before i heard clement talking about it too

[MarkIV19]

@ArcFreesia if thats the case, then i guess they want to dispose of axl by turning him maverick. sadly i didnt realize clement point out the same statement i made. glad two ppl came up with the same idea ^^ i guess thats what capcom is laking of...."i hid myself while i tried to repair myself"

[ArcFreesia]

@MarkIV19 y'know... that's a really good point

[MarkIV19]

i have a feeling that when lumine attacked axl, he got the sigma virus the same way sigma got it from zero. only time will tell when x9 happens to happen
