Excellent Remake! or would it be a demake? not sure, i saw a lot of other people having aspects with certain issues such as no playable Zero or Axl or no shop, but i personally don't mind,
I think the two armor system here works way better than in X5 or X6 and i think all of the upgrades are really good. I mostly prefer the Icarus Legs and Head and the Hermes Arms and Body (not that the other upgrades are bad, i just prefer being able to speedily dash while firing off quick and powerful shots, regaining health as i do so and hurting enemies as i jump).
The Weapons are all pretty good too. Some are more useful than others (I've barely used the S.Bomb, T.Dancer or D.Arrow) but some of them like the B.Launcher and F.Dash are Really fun to use. Even some others i don't use much like C.Bouncer or O.Sheild can be useful in certain situations.
As for the item collecting itself, i love it, i have a habit for going for the Leg parts first in most mega man x games since i like the increased mobility most of those provide, and since i prefer the icarus legs over the hermes legs i usually go for Bamboo Pandamonium's stage first, and i love the method of obtaining them with the ride armor, obviously there are other methods but I'm glad there is a way to do it without any upgrades or weapons, and all the other armors (and the Heart and Sub Tanks) have pretty good placements too.
I have experienced a few minor bugs, such as the game occasionally crashing or some weird camera issues, but overall nothing too bad,
The only thing that isn't gonna be included that I'm slightly sad about is the Ultimate Armor. I think it would be neat if it was in the game as an unlockable, maybe like in x5 where you need to go into one of the fortress stages as Armorless X, and i think it would be cool if it was reworked so that it instead worked as a combination of the two main armors instead of the weird stuff it was in X8. Like if the ultimate legs gave you both the invisible dash and multi air-dash and double jump, or the buster was both a laser and a split projectile (or maybe even the X4 plasma buster) and having all shots not consume ammo, and maybe having the nova strike as it's Giga attack thing. I'm not too bothered by it but it could be cool.
