In the Japanese version of Roackman Zero, Weil is actually called Veil (and Vile in Rockman X Series is called VAVA).

You mean Dr. Vile?

EDIT: dammit I was beat to the punch.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Eh, what the hell? That is the first time I have seen artwork from Dr.Weil's first form. Great!

Time to start surfing the internet for a place where I can import it then, heh. Should be a well earned tribute to the ZERO series.

Once you find a good online store that ships it to the EU, tell me. Still only have the Japanese version.

I love the errors that CW has. especially picure errors, where for the small picture mugshot thingies, it shows something tottaly unrelated.

Or you know... just the standard gentleman vampire.

A vampire  IS a mythological creature after all.

Dunno if Adlibris ships to where you live, but I got MMZOCW on release day.

Well, too bad I can't read Swedish and I don't see a button for turning the entire site into English, or German for that matter.

Edit: HOLY [parasitic bomb] NEVERMIND, I just found the book on German Amazon and it's actually deliverable!

... You mention a demi-god like Hercules and an entity such as the Grim-Reaper yet you don't consider Vampires and their relation to other bloodsucking creatures such as the Vampire Bat to be worth mentioning?
Don't you mean Heracles? *geek laugh* >>;

It's merely a choice of which translation you stick to. Whether it's Heracles, Herakles, Hercules or Herkules, it's all the same and all correct.

Volteel Biblio: possibly none

I thought MMZOCW stated it was based on the "tuna" god of...I believe inuit, but my memory fails me.

What also might help, Harpuia is an original japanese word for Harpy.
