On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

It figures the summer I get a super cool guy gaming PC would be the one that Steam decided to implement refunds and thus Steam sales got worse and I ended up buying games off the PSN/at an actual loving GameStop cheaper than what Steam sales were offering.

Re-railing this. The best part of Novel Kai and Char, is after the groups do form their alliance (and ally with Kycillia to kill Gihren) Char just twists the hand of his suit and kills Kycillia by dropping her into the flaming wreckage of Gihren's car. And Kai just looks at him and just thinks "I really loving hate you Char Aznable." It's just this moment of perfect clarity for him when he just realizes... gently caress this guy. Everyone except Kai and Sayla stay in Zeon, Kai returns to being a pilot and Sayla returns to earth to swim in the ocean after Ghost Amuro.

The best part is that it's clear Char is a complete loving poo poo. The last thing you see of him is him going back into Zeon and forgetting what he saw in Lalah Sune in the first place, making it clear he was falling right back into shitlord town alongside the victorious Zeon who promptly started oppressing Earthnoids.

Have they confirmed the Switch will be region free, because if they haven't then lower expectations on playing an SRW on a Nintendo platform any time soon.

Brunom1 posted:

Same here... I only know those that appeared in SRW.

And that's a new VA for the Purus, isn't it? She sounds quite a lot like Chieko Honda.

I'm hoping she'll be there for V, to add some lines for a potential combo attack with Marida.

I read somwhere that its a new lady called Yoko Honda. They gotta do Marida/Puru stuff, they gotta!

Also re: cockpit cut ins, 2ndOG and MD have different cutins for reals for some pilots, Gespensts and the Rathgriths have Kai and co. in a seat but in a Grungust they have a Lamia/Irm style free body cut in. I doubt G Gen is gong to go to the effort of making them all different, but there should at least be different ones between the old seats and the panoramic orb stuff. Making your own dudes also confirmed, though they don't have faces? Skills based on birthday and bloodtype apparently.

I don't think that's what "hot blood" means in English outside weebland. Although if I had my way, it'd have been Fury and 直撃 would have been something more appropriate, like Target or Critical.

I actually have been wondering what slice of people playing MD have never played another SRW in English. I assume the patches used Atlus' spirits; I know I did in Z2.

Because SRW fans aren't deep in weebland anyway.

I think the patches have so far mostly used the Atlus names, but it's been forever since I looked at J or @G.

I tend to go with "Pierce" for 直撃. One word, to the point.

Regarding patch stuff - J and AG try to stick with Atlus terms, though AG did accidentally use Hope twice.

Fury is just my pet peeve. It must have gotten switched with something in editing because it's so undescriptive and so inappropriate in almost every context it appears in, even the original OG. If you look at the user list, outside of maybe Shinn, it's mostly representative of refined skill and discipline rather than overwhelming force. (Okay, Sanger, but Sanger got introduced as the Major that Kyosuke and Excellen reported to and has always been an extremely cool head at his core. His memetic yelling is more about form than rage.)

They use Quicken because everyone gets really excited for personal finance. They go faster so they can do some trading before the markets close.

They use Quicken because that's the closest we'll ever get to having Rebuild 4.0 Q (Quickening) in SRW, deep down we all know the movie is never coming out.

They go faster cause their loans are dealt with and thus they don't need to do that while piloting anymore

Based on the most prominent users its definitely a bypass rather than overwhelm to me. A skilled dude knowing exactly where and when to strike to bypass all defences (except bunshin). In OG land its the Bransteins + extended family, skilled fighters like Sanger and Axel and then Akemi, who is definitely the one that's studying weak points and all that jazz out of the pair. Dispenes is another super analytic one that has it. I think Pierce is probably the most succinct option.

Quicken sounds like it should be the two actions in one turn spell, not extra move spaces.

Edit: You know what? I'm thinking of Final Fantasy's Quick spell. So make Accel 'Haste' if you really need to change it.

It was "Ace Pilot", but yeah, I chalked that one up to Atlus not wanting to confuse the BGM name with the name of the pilot skill Attacker or something along those lines.

Yep, you have to have gone through the game on both Normal mode and EX-Hard mode in order to unlock Special mode.
