If anything, the relationship they'd been building with the Zuvorg would indicate that the hardliners don't have much sway anymore. It's just really weird.

Oh cool. I legitimately don't remember it so I probably never played OG2. I was trying to figure out where I stopped. I know I had the cartridge because I bought it and OG together.

Thanks for all your help everyone. I'm not trying to be annoying with all these questions, I just know how these games tend to be with regards to secrets.

Questions are good, this isn't the fastest moving thread so it's not like you're interrupting anything.

The absolute best mecha for Katina is the Grungust Type-3. Stick Russell in the co-pilot seat so he can spam guard to make up for her weaknesses. However basically the answer is "give her something red" so if not the Type-3 then the Giganduro or the red Grungust.

I put Katina in Rio's red Hucky and turned it into the Boxer type. It seemed thematically appropriate.

I don't understand why Katina is range-tilted. Even putting aside the issue of all her best robot candidates, her theme is basically called "beat you the gently caress up (with my fists)".

I guess because she can't be the Gespenst C because Kai owns Jet Phantom and for some reason the Type-N's best weapon is the long rifle? But even then she should be a balance type. It looks like the intent with her is to abuse Assail with ALL-W cannon type weapons but that's dumb.

Because she was briefly the pilot for the R-Gun and they don't want to change her to suit what they've consistently given her since, I guess.

Also in OG2.

They can't decide what to do with her for some reason and they probably will keep messing around with what she's supposed to be good at until the end of the OG series.

Wasn't she a sniper-type character with her own custom mech from a card game originally? I think I remember reading that in the mega OGs let's play.

Yep, it was called the GAB-L. Maybe it's gonna be in the game after MD?

Katina should just have really high scores in both her attack stats since both of her defenses are bottom tier.

High Skill instead would also work since it enables her to TACONA-GU-RI things more/harder/faster (Counter, Double Attack).

They also show DLC like 24 minutes into the video. Special stages, MS, characters, etc...

A more proper DLC list is here (instead of a Powerpoint): http://ggg.ggame.jp/special/privilege.php - Free for preorders? First printings? I'm not sure, but I assume it's the first printing as it has a date range which I assume is how much time you have to buy it Digitally to get the DLC free.

Hathaway's Flash DLC though. Happy about that. Seems to be the most sizable of the bunch as it has two scenarios, characters and MS. It will also be out in December which is cool as well. The other DLC seem to be unit only? So no Io or Daryl?

As an aside, I do like it in Full Boost if you have ReGZ go up against Xi Gundam, Chan does her "Hathaway?!" voice line from CCA.

I wonder if Bamco will have streaming disabled on it like they did with Gundam Breaker 3. Also, it seems like only Thunderbolt units? No Thunderbolt scenarios?


Also, did OG Moon Dwellers have any sort of first print bonus?

Bandai Namco seems to really hate built streaming because most of the games I've played from them lately will either block out literally every cutscene no matter how unimportant, or will just not allow you to stream after a certain point.

It's the music licensing nightmare, easier to disable it for the whole game than only when certain tracks are playing.

That's the answer for 90% of why japanese games are blocked streaming. Music or voice acting. Basically what happens if the MRRA was still relevant and powerful.

The Grungust Type-3 is made of two units. The G-Bison and G-Raptor. You put a pilot into each and they become the pilots of the Grungust Type-3

The pilot of G-Raptor is the main pilot. The pilot of the G-Bison only provides a spell pool unless you decombine for some reason. (There's no reason to do this, the G-Bison's attack list is crap.)

Note that even if you don't want to put Katina in there, the best pilots for the G-Bison are probably Russell (for defensive) or Radha (for support capabilities) as neither are good enough pilots to justify a main unit but have amazing spell sets.

I know I'm the wrong person to give advice, but you shouldn't feel too bad about throwing folks in anything you feel suits them. If you like someone and want to throw them in something fancy that's not quite optimal, but fun, go ahead.

Of course, in a dream world, I'd love to see anyone able to pilot anything but that would be a dev nightmare. So dreams of a Latooni-piloted SRX or Masaki Neo Granzon will have to stay dreams.

You want E/B Save if their mechs are reliant in one or the other for their attacks. If you feel like splurging, Mediate is always good, since you can never have too much SP. Break Will Limit also helps push up the damage once stages get longer.

(The real answer is to get Continuous Action on everybody)

For The Akatsuki Siblings you need to decide which one is going to be your main pilot. The one who is gets Continious Action, Break Will Limit, Support Attack, maybe Guard, that sort of thing. The one who isn't gets SP Up and Meditate and nothing else.

For Calvina get her Continuous Action, Break Will Limit, maybe MB Activate if you want, and maybe Attack Again/Support Attack. Otherwise just start pumping her Shooting and Skill stats.

All mechs have a choice between some generic bonuses and a custom one suited just for that mech.

99% of the time you should just take the custom one.

Whoever reduces the enemy to 0 HP gets the kill, including support attackers or MB supports. I find it useful to put whoever needs kills in a sub so I can have the the main unit use an ALL to weaken both enemies while the sub finishes them off.
