Also Ange thinks Setsuna's voice is attractive.

Mamoru Miyano is a talented actor who keeps getting some absurdly poo poo roles.

I like how Berah/Cecily actually resembles her F91 self and not whatever the hell happened in the Crossbone manga.

I would say his best role is probably Berg Katz or Ryuji from Persona 5 TBH. Goddamn was he good as Berg Katz.

Katze was amazing. Did they process his voice for Insight or did he just... change it?

They did that for Alpha 2 as well; have Seabook, Cecily and Zabine all resemble their F91 versions, while everyone else was cribbed from Crossbone.

Concerning the protagonist choice:
It's apparently a Z1 situation where both choices have their own cast list and storyline for most of the game.

So yay for replay value I guess.

I think this should be unspoilered since it's gonna be a a major selling point for the game.

Edit: or maybe there are people who don't like it that way? For them too it's important pre-purchase info.

Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
according to the /m/ SRW General the series are divided as such;


New Calendar: Yamato, Crossbone, Main Character

AD: Zambot, Daitarn, SEED Destiny, 00, Might Gain, Nadesico, Cross Ange*

UC: Gundam series (Minus Crossbone), Getter, Mazinger, Full Metal Panic, Evangelion

*technically this makes for 4 worlds since there's also the Dragon Earth from Cross Ange

Male Character initially goes to UC, Female to AD

Deploying Swordbreakers!
College Slice
I got into SRW as a dumb teen. I read fanfics then, and EVA had caught my fancy, so I wanted to know more about it. That lead me to Alpha 3 and MX videos, which lead me to more videos, which lead to wikipedia. Eventually I was able to grab OG2, which was kinda fuckin hard for an idiot like me. Since then I've played the J translation and OGMD, and in like another month my copy of V will get here.

I don't care about EVA as much anymore, but SRW is something I enjoy thinking about a lot.

Ugh, this game sounds so drat good but I never finished Moon Dwellers and with Switch coming so soon, Yakuza 0 unfinished, and Nioh still here I'd feel real dumb dropping even more money on games I haven't finished.

PEPSI FOR TV-GAME
I pre-ordered V which means it'll be the first SRW I've played that wasn't a few years old. I still haven't gotten around to buying Z3.2 yet even. I've been playing SRW since OG2 came out in the states because back then I bought every single SRPG I could get my hands on so I grabbed OG1 by coincidence. I didn't really like robots much outside of a couple Gundam shows until a few years later when I heard about J being translated and figured I'd give it a go, and I've been hooked on the series and mecha anime since.

I'm really not looking forward to missing like every secret, but I got the game with regular shipping so maybe they'll be mostly found out before I get it in a month. How long do the official secret lists usually take to be released?

Maki Izumi from Nadesico is a translator's worst nightmare: a character who speaks primarily in REALLY bad Japanese puns. They pretty much excised this from her dialogue in the ADV Films dub altogether, but it's all over the place in the original Japanese script.

imagine a character who's every line is essentially "Untranslatable Japaneses pun", and then you have an idea.

Official secret lists don't hit until the full guide comes out basically. Anything before that is assumption and guesswork.

Yes!
I finally understand everything there is to know about axes!
Unless they wrote her out of the plot as well she will still be there. Even if she wasn't a pilot and had no combat lines she would still have dialogue. Plus it would be super weird to write her out of the Japanese version because some random translator didn't want to translate her puns.

Ryoko is the only one of the team that you can deploy, Izumi and Hikaru show up for the formation attack that you can select normally from her attack menu.

Oh, I guess that would be a thing that could happen. I'd be sad though.


Still so long, but I am determined to stay up and play it a bit (and Nier), even with a work day tomorrow. I'm not as young as I used to be though.

edit: I guess I could use this time to update the OP to put V front and center, but should I just say screw it and make a simple op just about V, and then ask a mod to make the title reflect that?

I'll probably do the cheap poo poo shipping long as I'll get it. I have enough games to last me until the heat death of the Universe already so I can wait 2-4 weeks. Maybe I can get through Shovel Knight and Vermintide before then?

Is there any reason to think it will have any music or voices? Just licensing the characters' and robots' images seems to be the easiest part.

No corn theme? For shame Sanders.

Any universal SRW tips for a goon's first foray into the series?
