I notice that Ple is fighting a SEED Destiny enemy in the trailer, I guess ZZ won't have many enemy units if any.
Did you miss the bit where Athrun kicks a Doven Wolf in the face?

So wait are we actually having selectable protagonists for the first time since Z1?
If the "Use Grungust/Huckebein right out of the gate" DLC is any indication, it seems that the Originals made by the Cross Omega artist are the leads, with the other two Originals joining up later on. That said, the characters didn't have the usual "Main Character/Heroine" designation, so maybe we are getting selectable protagonists once again. Speaking of the originals, their robot is designed by the Linebarrels' art team, right? It looks a hell of a lot like their style.

Well it looks like I'll need to get a Singapore PSN account now for the bonuses. I still want a hard copy of the game though, so I'll have to see where the premium english version goes on sale.

I liked Athrun's Char Kick? F91 is good. Puru had good animations. And maybe this time we won't have any reason to do a bunch of griping about the female lead being relegated to support pilot. :v:

Hey Banpresto, relegate the male lead to the support pilot role, thanks. (this will never happen)

No, there's a Great much earlier, too (1:06, unless I really have my Mazingers confused).

I assume it's just kind of a generically polished Great to go with the original Shin Mazinger before they get bumped into ZERO and Mazin Emperor G.

Yes, that's the one I meant. Great Mazinger's head showed up as a silhouette in the Shin Mazinger anime, so it's hard to tell if they based it on that. I've seen from scans that it also shows up in the Shin Mazinger Zero manga, but only in the parts that haven't been scanlated, and even then only individual pages I glimpsed a while ago, so I couldn't tell for sure.

Honestly I'm not even sure which Tetsuya it's meant to be.

Download version of the AniSong edition has been confirmed for PS4 and Vita which is nice. Just gotta hope licensing allows the english language version to get it too.

Terada has said that he'll shout a lot so maybe a more excitable guy that would fit in Shin but not any version specifically.

I'm pretty certain it's Shin Mazinger Tetsuya, the cut-in for Breast Burn is a dead ringer for the shot of him in the second OP here.

I sure hope so, though if it supports custom BGM, it's not a real problem. I already purchased a lot of these Gundam songs (and stuff like Getter Robo and EVA) and have been using the vocal versions on my Vita and PS3 with SRWZ3.

Also, PS4 doesn't support MP3s on the system itself, right? You need a USB device plugged in, right? Or has this changed? Cause worst case, I just pop in a USB drive with all my imported songs... unless they don't let you use songs from outside the game which would be a real bummer.

Yeah, I'm not sure of the particulars of the thing other than its fiddly. I'm pretty sure like MD was 2ndOG+ V is gonna be Z3.2+ enginewise so I would be surprised if it didn't have a song importer but the ones with the special edition are all set up and loaded to be picked in the list. Just a matter of working with whatever system the ps4 has right now for not letting you do it. The main thing that makes me not sure if the non-Japanese version will get a cool song edition is licensing issues for the proper songs.

Unless there's some surprise (and large) time skip, Judau adopting his Gray Stork identity is very unlikely.

Now, getting the Gump as a secret unit, that's a possibility.

If I could read Japanese it would be a dealmaker/breaker or whatever direction its in for sure too. As it is I'm sure if there's no premium edition with all the stuff then the DLC (including early Huck/Grungust availability) and theme will be available to buy at some point and if I really want I can always just play my own music if I can't add my own tracks. Actually, now that I say it is BGM volume an option? It's gotta be right?

I actually just checked and Beyond the Time is no longer auto-muted on youtube so maybe the license for that has been renegotiated? That was the stand out thing as being super protected that was on there and apparently it's fine and dandy now.

There's apparently a goofy callback in SRW V. According to TV Tropes, of all places, Grungust and Huckebien are products of the Nicola Wilhelm Research Labs instead of the Tesla-Reich Institute. The joke is that they're both named for Nicola Tesla and Wilhelm Reich (inventor of Orgone :flashfact: ).

Ask me about being the best dad ever.
V Famitsu scans say that you'll, indeed, be able to choose between either Souji or Chitose as the protag; both will pilot the Vangray. The one you didn't choose will be a "sub-protagonist" but it says nothing about being a subpilot... I'm thinking something akin to Z1, in which they pilot something else and act separately.
