I felt that way about Z3 too. Quite a few units' animations, and mostly the originals, are hard to track visually because they have so few frames for some high speed movement. I figured it was just a memory or something issue because it has to run on the Vita too.

Soon the Vita will be dead and hopefully it will mean the problem is neither here nor there.

Really shouldn't be a hardware problem. That one video upthread is really rough though, I've never seen it that bad. I'll probably pick the other upgrade even if it's simpler in animations, at least they have more animation frames.

Seriously, they were right on the dot at 10:30 exactly. It's like the only time one of those estimates has ever been right for me.

Now to power through seven more hours of work until I get to play it :negative:

My copy won't be here for a while due to economy shipping, but I think I'm already picking out some units to focus on upgrading: Chitose's Vangray, the Mazinger bros, and the non-Gundam Battleships (and possibly like Mother Vanguard if that's there too). Really excited for SRW Battleships.

I don't think the Mother Vanguard is in, but just looking at the series even without it there's like 10 battleships. It's ridiculous.

Given that my previous SRW experience is OG2 and MD which have battleships best used for repair and resupply in my experience, and J which features the Goofus and Gallant of ships, having something like the Yamato which can be like legit the center of your formation and the Nadesico makes me quite happy. The only kinda downer for me is that we probably won't see an unexpected appearance by the Valstork.

Well, I was about to say Offgamers who are running a promo that brings a $50 SGD card down to $37 USD (which is actually pretty close to a direct exchange rate) and is where I got mine.

But then I looked, and they're out of stock. Oh well.

You apparently get some pretty OP parts for getting the full DLC bundle (40 SGD), but eeeeeh.

They put a surprising amount of work into Yamato's integration in the story and setting(especially since in the initial setting Crossbone is the only other show natively around and they bring up fairly often that barely anything is left from that series on a technology aspect due to the Gamilas attacks), makes sense though considering how it's Yamato's debut and how beloved a franchise it is

I'm a tiny bit disappointed in the crossover being a many-worlds thing but the worlds are all right and if the alternative is "everything happening all at once, somehow" I guess I'll take it. And combining Nadesico and Might Gaine into a "corporate mecha" world is actually inspired.

I kind of like Nine but it's another situation where I feel like she'd be kind of dull if you had a regular dude MC? I like how the magazines were all like "who is this mysterious girl and what is her connection to the Vangray?" and actually she just shows up and introduces herself.

I was going to be disappointed if she was not introduced in chapter 9.

Yeah, going with alternate dimension stuff a 2nd time is kinda lame but I get that its just not possible to mash up certain series and have it make any semblance of sense.

It was easier when 95% of shows were just "earth, but with robots and aliens attack i guess"

I don't mind it so much because while you have alternate worlds they're still crazy-rear end crossover mashup worlds instead of kind of self-contained worlds that happened as normal.

You get to corporate world and it's like "yeah poo poo two whole SRW games happened offscreen here."

Am I missing something or just not far enough into it? Nadesico the series has already happened, Might Gaine is just getting started, and there's something about information control and a lost continent that I vaguely assume is Cross Ange-related.

The corporate world also contains Gundam SEED and Gundam 00 as well as Zambot and IIRC Daitarn. You get an infodump on their history which amounts to "SEED/00S1/Nadesico happened at the same time, as did Destiny/00S2/Zambot"

Oh, I forgot about the genetic manipulation part which I thought was SEED and then immediately forgot about, but I didn't remember 00 or Zambot. It doesn't really help that they describe it in vaguer terms than the usual opening scrolls.

Right, that makes six series then, since Daitarn is also post plot.

Edit: Or seven, if you count 00S1 and 00S2 separate.

There was a route split which was stay with the Cross Ange lot or go back to Japan, and I went back to Japan. After the route split, everyone had a meet up and Ange mentioned Tusk in her thoughts, so he was in the route split, though I don't know if he was playable. As for who is, there's Ange, Salia, Hilde, Vivian, Rosalia, Chris and Ersha, at least by the half way point.

Tusk isn't seemingly playable but who knows. You start out with 7 Cross Ange units. (Ange and basically every relatively minor character who doesn't die in the first 3 episodes.)

My money is on the usual "get pilot to X kill amounts, take route C instead of D, and then convince enemy pilot with aforementioned allied pilot" recruitment method.

Although, the fact that the playable version video has come out so quickly makes me think that Rean/Lean/however the game spells his name may just join automatically.

I think that first point has been debunked, everyone was saying Chitose as your OG leads to the Might Gaine world, but I ended up there with Souji as my chosen character
