MMOCW/MMXOCW may be primarilly art books, but there's still a *LOT* of behind-the-scenes info regarding developer intentions and design inspiration. Also some character descriptions that clarify previously ambiguous/unclear points, including specifying that Iris had the hots for Zero during Erasure (previous translations stated that in the context of saving her life, thus implying their relationship as new to the Repliforce War; this is not actually the case).
Rock points the 'gun', regardless.
I really need to stick to X/Zero/ZX/Legends (or at the very least, post-MM8). It's what I'm good at.
Even though, you know, Timeman and Oilman suddenly exist.
No offense, but nobody should *NEED* to tell you why that point is moot. The same criticism applies to all regions, thus it does not excuse Gauntlet neglecting PU for the sake of the U.S.
Quality isn't the issue here. It's for ease of reference.
We've established, when you previously granted genuine translation errors, that Xtreme2 does not take place in a bathroom, correct? In what way is the Reploid Research Lavatory more difficult to reference than any legitimate setting?
-Inconsistent names everywhere. They can't even stick to their own stuff.
-The existence of Monsteropolis; that multi faceted land of robot-like humanoids.
-Roll going completely unmentioned and unnamed until MM3/MM4, and even then there are those sources considering her either a new character, or not a robot at all.
-Exclusion of a LOT of facts that were originally written in the manuals.
-Plasma Cannon versus a Rock Buster with Solar Bullets, in fact, MM4 made it sound like the Mega Buster was introduced in 4; it was only upgraded in 4.
-Time Skimmer, Chronos Institute, 37 something years into the future.
-Altered the game instead of properly translating them (X2, X3, X5, MM7, PU, ZERO, Legends, EXE4+.). Resulting in Serges' character being butchered, Vile being killed years ago while it wasn't nearly that long and Vile haunting X in his dreams while he should actually be reviving again and again, Wily being a comrade of X's, Rock being more than a robot when he isn't, ProtoMan outright exclaiming Light is his father when he wants nothing to do with Light, Rock being called "Blue Bomber" instead of "Original" by his copy, everybody making too many puns in an already overly cutesy game. A hand held gun being the Z-buster; rectified in Z-collection. Confusing what a Decoy is by naming them Carbons and somehow introducing yet another name; Betas. Confusing the mankind playback plan with what Juno was doing. Changing the origin of Rock Voulnutt's name. "What a fine young man she is.", abbreviating terms like crazy and cutting out a lot of content.
-The Reploid War lasting centuries while we're still in the same century (21XX)
-Zero acting weird to an anti-virus while he only acts weird to the virus itself.
-Exclusion of X's in-depth schematics and Right's deeper warning about worrying.
-Nearly all dates in Cain's Journal being off, two journal dates being unified as one, and there being stuff about Zero in the Sigma rebellion date.
-Lab accident before the unveiling of the first six robots in which one robots goes array and sets the lab on fire. An enraged Wily accusing Light of jealousy and intentionally sabotaging the experiment; which leads to Wily stealing the plans of the industrial robots and disappearing for several months.
-Rock being a courageous male human wearing a robot shell so that Wily cannot reprogram MegaMan.
-Rush transformations having impossible specs. No way Rush Marine can move that fast!
-Zero being X's trusted robocanine that died in X1. Aaarf, he wants one!
And I probably forgot a LOT of things.
Well, by simply listing "inconsistent names everywhere", you rule out most of the easy stuff. It might be worth noting that it's not even just character names. Force Armor and Great Legacy come to mind.
Items from earlier in the discussion not in that list are the missing 5th Command Mission newbie and the infamous Laguz Island bathroom of evil.
-I know that Marshmallow Man has contested the notion of Zero's "awakening" being incomplete in X5. This is presumably not in the original script.
-Alia's last line in the Zeroless X6 ending was tweaked a bit to be more suggestive as to her having an attachment to X.
-"Mega Man" starring in X-series games has been going on as recently as X8.
-Pretty much all mentions of Cain in the X4 manual. His creating Double, and the Cain Labs directive about restructuring the 17th and 0th Hunter Units (another manual point which is contradictory to the game storyline, I might add).

***MISSING RED LANTERN TURIAN QUOTE***
Too slow, Red. But I'll clarify further.
He said that only of MMOCW/MMXOCW, not MMZOCW, which is both. And really, all are both. It's a matter of what the primary role is. MMZOCW is the sole sourcebook of the Zero series. MMOCW/MMXOCW add to existing Japanese books and thus primarily focus on art/development, but even so, there are a few nifty tidbits. Ever wonder if Berkana ever had a legitimate occupation? That's in there.
