When work on Mega Man ZX first started, Inti Creates didn't know if they'd be making ZX or Zero 5

Zero clue

GN Version 5.0

Inti Creates created 4 different Mega Man Zero games, and then they transitioned over to the Mega Man ZX series. What caused the design change going forward? In an interview with Mega Man ZX character designer and scenario writer Makoto Yabe, we find out that Inti Creates wasn't even sure which direction Capcom would want to go in, so they tried to split the difference.

Actually, at first it wasn’t decided whether we would make Mega Man Zero 5 or the brand-new Mega Man ZX. And so, the project discussion period between Capcom and Inti Creates took a long time. ...Inti Creates’ president [Takuya] Aizu’s opinion was to ask me to “make it so that it could go either way.”
