I guess they are going completely post-apocalypse this time. That would be a nice change of pace from Z's "the world is literally destroying and remaking itself constantly at random but most people are still living a normal life".

By the way, where is that Hathaway's Flash music from? It's in GGG too.

edit: holy poo poo Nadesico captain Yurika back?

I love how they've done the Mazinger Brothers attacks in the teaser and trailers. Mazin Emperor G and Mazinger Zero are going to be amazing to play as.

I'm a little sad Emperor and Zero don't have their own themes, but I can deal because goddamn they look awesome.

Also, for the love of god, please let Penelope be playable or a secret unit or something. I need this, Banpresto, more than anything.

Everything I find just either says CCA or G-Gen. A remix was used for Maxi boost too, apparently.

Edit: Also, I really like whatever song that is for Cross Ange. I'm surprised, I remember being disappointed by the OST, despite looking forward to it. But I don't remember that one at all.

So I pre-ordered my copy of V. Does it include some DLC or something? The trailer made it look that way. I guess i need to make a Hong Kong PSN if I want to get more DLC too, right?

The full premium sound edition is a pre-order version that lets you have the actual songs as BGM instead of just the instrumentals, so they're pimping that.

I'm confused about the chronology here. It's 110 years after CCA, but all the regular UCs are also in the game (through time travel, presumably), but also Unicorn, Crossbone, and Hathaway are current in the game's time frame?

They will make whatever changes are necessary to the animes' plotlines to make them work in this time frame.

honestly with how Yamato is pretty much top billing in this game, and how Cross Ange is kind of right below it, it was pretty obvious in advance that in some way the world was kinda hosed. probs a spoiler for cross ange sorta but i kind of figure most of you don't care...actually, I wonder how they're handling that, fine i'll put it in spoiler tags

the place the dragons come from is basically supposed to be the real world, which got reamed so bad that people had to like evolve into dragons to survive, and the idyllic magic kingdom place is like a dimension layered on top of that by the main villain loving with spacetime. with the game's setup it sort of would make the most sense for the earlier half of the show to be compressed into a few maps early on, and the bulk of the game happens during the handful of episodes Ange hangs around the dragon world, sort of like how they did Megazone in D. probably for the best since the first half sorta drags on too long and the second half is much better, that specific arc of the show was IMO its strongest. maybe what they're doing with all the UC people hanging around from the past ties into that somehow? Embryo's the kind of guy Banpresto would have a field day with his plotting after all, I can't wait for him and Kaworu to be in a room together

the Might Gaine theme is sounding a little weak, but every other song seems pretty good so there's that. really really hoping for You Get To Burning like as hinted on that OST disc they're doing, Yurika being around gives me hope, and also hope that they're basically doing W's PoD

also did that combo between Daitarn and Zambot seem a bit weird to anyone else? it didn't look quite right but i couldn't pin down why, just sorta...stiff and oddly timed overall.

There's one part where Zambot and Daitarn are flying backwards towards the enemy because Banpresto couldn't be arsed to draw actual back sprites for the two.

I feel like it's the motion. I found it most noticeable when they're doing their weapon combo. Something about the animation direction seems really... punctuated, I guess, like there are short bursts of excessively smooth animation frosted over with camera jumps.

I'll feel less bad about it if it's mostly just Zambot and Daitarn.

The map sprites look gorgeous, though, especially since we haven't had any full body map sprites since... what, the PS2?

were MX's map things sprites or little 3D models? I'm pretty sure Z's were the latter, believe both Alphas were the former

Z definitely used sprites in four directions. OG is the only one that has had map models.

cross ange really goes places in the back half, but there's a lot of weird sexual menace from the antagonist. they're actually kind of doing a thing with him (hilarious scene: him going 'the world will be ruled by strong women,' while he has two brainwashed women in maid outfits feed him grapes) but it's still way above Cross Ange's pay grade in terms of what it can handle tastefully, so be aware of that if you pick it back up.

It's got this weird thing going where a lot of the humor is actually legitimately really funny (an episode where Ange hatches an escape plan involving stealing a mascot costume and interrupts a couple making out by busting into their room and pointing a gun at them and one of the couple is freaking out and the other is just trying to figure out why they're being threatened by a cute mascot) and it actually hits on some kind of good plot and character beats, and then it throws it all away on some dumb fanservice moment or really weird running 'gag' about Tusk falling into sexy women's crotches, so it has to build it all back up again.

I don't even mind fanservice, I enjoyed Godannar perfectly fine, its just that it takes its fanservice in the weirdest directions instead of, you know, just focusing on the fact that the entire cast is hot women in skintight outfits.

Also Souji and Chitose in the same cutscene. We knew they'd both be active in parallel paths and not alternatives, but I wonder how the crossover will actually work. Wasn't there a hint that the upgrade would be a two-seater, or something?
