G^3 wasn't perfect but frankly it was better than a lot of 'official' translations. It's not something I'd ever call great but it was perfectly acceptable considering the sheer amount of loving text in that game and MD's own relative quality.

I forgot that the Xi Gundam has funnel missiles. That sounds so incredibly wasteful...just like a real military project! Also, how many times does Anaheim develop a Gundam without the federation or anyone else knowing? In my mind the conversations go like Federation guy: Anaheim are you developing a secret Gundam right now? Anaheim guy: no Federation guy: That's what you said the last five times but you really aren't this time? Anaheim guy: no Federation guy: Well okay....I guess we'll get back to oppressing spacenoids now.

If I recall properly Funnels have never been all that expensive to produce(look at Neo Zeon deploying dozens of Quebleys during ZZ), the main thing that kept the Federation from fully embracing Psycommu weapons was that Newtypes are both rare and incredibly unreliable(and Cyber Newtypes are expensive and even more unreliable) which lead to the Federation all but giving up on using them in their military after Hathaway's Flash

Weirdly, there's a game where the protagonist uses a funnel system designed for oldtypes that seems to work fine, and then it never gets brought up or used anywhere else in the UC setting.

INCOMs? Those are in a lot of places, but I wouldn't really call them funnels for oldtypes. Unless you're talking about something else in which case hell if I know.

INCOMs are wired which has a really significant drawback compared to true funnels. It massively limits their range and flexibility and also since they're computer-guided they're more predictable. Even in the OYW they actually had wire-guided missiles and the original newtype weapons also had wires for recovery and backup.

Did they ever explain why cyber newtypes seemed so comparatively easy to make? No one ever really knows what the hell is up with newtypes but suddenly they can just create that effect in people?

Making cyber newtypes is not the hard part it's keeping them from combusting and killing your own team or go insane or betray you because they found a person that actually cares for them on the enemy's side

Cyber Newtypes are basically vaguely replicating Newtypes's most blunt and obvious features so they're easy to make as long as you don't mind them exploding in upon themselves in a month

We don't know the exact processes, but whatever it is, it's extremely painful, mentally scarring, and is basically torture. And may or may not include dangerous and invasive surgery. So it's not like just anyone can get it slapped on them without a 90% chance of them dying or becoming vegetables before the whole laundry list of normal cyber newtype survivor problems arise.

I'm sure most of you guys are long done with it, but I just finished GB3 today. Well, half of it anyway. I am not happy that they got lazy and/or greedy in this one. Previous games had a long campaign in which you started with HG parts and upgraded to MG about halfway through. In this one, you beat the game with only HG parts and then get the message "NOW YOU CAN REPLAY THE GAME AND EARN MG PARTS THIS TIME." The DLC missions may be the missing half of the campaign, in which case booo to Bamco, kind of, for making me pay twice as much for the same amount of content we had in GB1 and 2.

It's kinda telling when it comes to Cyber Newtypes that the most stable and competent one we see is Iron Mask, and when you're talking about someone who thought using drones to commit global genocide is a good idea, you know a concept needs to be shelved

Honestly the most stable and competent cyber newtype is probably Gyunei Guss. The only thing he had issues with was an inferiority complex against Char.

Gates Capra was pretty stable until the...feedback from Rosamia? Gyunei definitely the most stable, Quess activated an inferiority complex against Char but that got solved by Char just talking to him.

But I do remember Mika being very "win through extreme offense and aggression". Like the snowfield fight or his general dislike for the blade because of it not meshing up with his aggressive barrel-through-and-smash preferences.

Kallen is hilariously OP and Suzaku and Lelouch are both incredibly solid units, if just because Lelouch has all sorts of goofy mechanics and an insane MAPW.

Oh. Depends on how IBO goes. Overloading Barbatos doesn't seem like a thing they'll let you do at will, only for plot reasons, until they pull a "Mika's mastered the Barbatos' system!" out of their rear end like they did to unlock Unicorn Mode early. Also, even if they did, penalizing him as a pilot for it seems dumb since it only affects him outside the machine. If anything his combat should improve since he's sinking more of his identity into Barbatos. But again the long-term consequences aren't clear in the show yet. What I'd realistically expect is more like a "use/don't use Full Barbatos X times by Chapter Y = 1 ending point". Or maybe a thing about voluntarily deploying Barbatos in specific missions like a tweak on J Zeorymer. And on the subject of turn limits I forgot about Genion GAI in Z3.1, but that's not surprising because gently caress Genion GAI.
