Effect Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I haven't checked out this series yet but I have played both games(still working through ZOE: 2nd Runner) and have watched the Idolo OVA. The orbital frame Dolores in this series, is she piloted by James Links or is the AI in complete control during the entire series? Also does this story stop before the 2nd Runner or does it go past the game or into the games storyline? Does anyone know if there are anymore plans for Zone of the Ender games or anime or manga? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I think it happens after the second game. I have the entire series. James is in control most of the time but the AI is autonomous when he isnt in the cockpit. Its a good fun series that actually has some good plot twists.

Druna Skass Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I think it happens after the second game. No, half takes place before the first game, and the second takes place between ZOE and 2nd Runner. Fist of Mars also takes place before 2nd Runner. You can find all kinds of stuff here http://www.genesoul.net/zoe/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmitty Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Kojima said that if enough interest was shown, that another sequel would be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I heard about that, I certainly hope he does make another one. Gameplay-wise ZOE is the best mech game out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolores was in somewhat control of herself, how else do you think she had those weird semi-delusional dreams, with James Links guidance. Slightly off topic. I really liked how they had James develop as a father, but was still such an idiot that he had to practice his skills on a giant robot AI first. question #2. Druna Skass is right. Because Earth never lost control of Mars and nor did the political climate on Mars change much because of the Dolores story. question #3. Frankly unless they figure out how to reset the whole ZOE universe there really isn't much story-wise left to tell. Oh I suppose they could tell the story from the Earths viewpoint or even pull a Gundam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe follow what Leo's been doing the last two years, or be an UNSF Frame runner. Either way, am I the only one who wants to pilot a Phantoma?

I mean, at the end of ZOE2 Jehuty is so powerful that it's practically invincible. They either have to tone Jehuty down (which would suck continuity wise), or have you run a different Frame (which wouldn't suck as bad as watering down Jehuty, but come on, topping Jehuty's design would be tough). Though, if Shinkawa can make another equally (or perhaps more) awesome looking Frame, there probably won't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 How about a game based off the anubis frame and his pilot. That character seemed to have his own agenda mostly. That and the frame design kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Dolores was actually pretty cool. I like how it tied in with the games(though her personality at times was grating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
