Yeesh. Remembering how I titled this one back in the day was the biggest issue here, even more than with having zero idea how this game plays. Well, I guess we're all going to find out together... unless you already knew.
This is by far the weirdest gacha premise I've ever seen. You're some nerd who does nothing but play Megaman X games all day until you get isekai'd into the game to stop X1 and X3 from merging... Okay.
Kinda wish this was just a one-shot, since I can't imagine the game getting much more interesting than this, but oh well, here we go.
I used to worry that after the success of Mega Mans 9 and 10, the future of Mega Man X was "doomed" to be nothing but 16-bit retro cash-in games. Oh, how I long for those halcyon days now!
This game is tragic.

Hi YouTube peeps! Want a cozier, chiller community that actually feels like a discussion instead of shouting into an endless void?
Consider posting on the talkhaus too!
rico is cute (take this to mean the character in this game or the professional wrestler as you desire)
we finally get to see marino and cinnamon appear in a raocow video! (also ferham is there too on the title screen fsr) HAHAHA YOU HAVE BEEN WELL AND TRULY BAMBOOZLED THE REAL MEGAMAN X COMMAND MISSION WAS THE GACHA GIRLS WE PULLED ALONG THE WAY
Okay, thoughts now that I've actually watched the video:
* The reason that RiCO stopped speaking her dialogue and started only speaking short phrases/non-verbal grunts is most likely because financing full voice acting for every line of dialogue in your gacha game is a hell of an endeavour that's only really possible if you're being backed by some uber-rich corporation like, say, PriConne is. Even F/GO doesn't do it. According to the Google Machine, RiCO is voiced by Reina Ueda, who has been around the block quite a bit and thus is going to command a good deal more money than some rando that's just starting out and is still getting their feet wet in the world of voice acting. I imagine there are plenty of other big names in the game as other characters; randomly looking up Sigma reveals he's voiced by Mugihito, which, uh, yeah.
* I appreciate the game using "Player" as the designated term for the, uh, player. It's gacha tradition to come up with some sort of title all of the characters use to refer to the player, and they can get pretty creepy when they want to.
* OTOH I'm getting all sorts of gross vibes from "We'll get to know each other better later on!" being spoken with the enthusiasm it was, as well as RiCO's idle animation and speech patterns in general, so I guess we'll see where this goes. Your patience with creepy stuff might even run out before you hit any of the three stop triggers you mentioned! (I don't actually know how playersexual this game is.)
* That first loading screen was totally an X4 spoiler. Please don't give us a tip about how to target enemies while showing us a picture of Iris, devs.
* Given the game already showed you Ciel, and one of the New Player login bonuses was literally the 8-bit 1Up icon, you can probably guess that this game's roster will not be strictly confined to the X series.
* Alia of all people being the New Player Day 7 Login Bonus character is goddamn hilarious.
* The boss refight capsules being repurposed into the gacha functionality was a stroke of genius.
* X finally got a double jump holy shit
* Why does Cinnamon have boobs and a half-upskirt shot. Someone needs to go to jail.

I'm headcanonning that RiCO is kind of forcing herself to be super chipper and nice to the player because she doesn't usually interact with people and she just wants the player to not hate her.
Like, she's usually a seven or eight on the chipper scale, but she's cranking it to eleven.
I'd believe that. At first listen I thought she was Kana Hanazawa, who is more suited for a "max chipperness all the time" role. Casting Reina Ueda does suggest she'll dial it down sooner rather than later. (Never mind that your description fits Hanazawa's socially anxious PriConne character perfectly.)
