Megaman Legends is a game ahead of the fifth-generation consoles. Sure, it was limited but it's so sad Capcom abandoned this concept entirely. There was the spin-off Megaman X: Command Mission. However, I feel that Megaman Legends should've had at least one more game before it got canceled. Now, it's time to remember the time when I went on a sidequest.
The sidequests could be tricky. I had to play the game several times before I discovered all of them. Depending on how one goes -- the sidequests can affect the way people will reply before Megaman Volnutt leaves Kattlelox Island. Some sidequests were only known to me either by (1) talking with friends, or (2) getting on the Internet. It reminds me of the good old days when gaming wasn't too expensive and Adobe didn't have that sh*tty subscription.
The game's sidequests can be either fun OR plain irritating. Some of them didn't affect much (such as that annoying Bomb sidequest and the Robbery Mission) while others gave extreme rewards. I had a lot of fun collecting old artifacts -- even if the Curator (who looks like Jill Valentine) didn't give any Zenny. I assume the programmers intended it to be so, but RAN OUT OF SPACE. Collecting items for the museum also meant helping Jim and his clubhouse and going on digs. It was an interesting puzzle that could get the X-Buster (which is probably just a homage to the Megaman X series than the actual weapon), the Prism Crystal (which can only be retrieved when the Museum), and the Weapon Plans. It was all intended to create the magnificent Shining Laser!
There were other sidequests involving people. Some of them can be hard to spot (like the pregnant woman) or the money thrown in the garbage can. That means I got some bittersweet conversations at the end of the game. The pregnant woman wasn't able to give birth. A man who lost his money still couldn't find it. Sure, these didn't affect the overall ending cinematic. I still felt bad for thise NPCs and decided to get as many sidequests as possible.
