While waiting for SRWV to arrive, decided to work on my 4th playthrough of SRWZ3.1 and finally got platinum in the game. Woo.

I was expecting Black Mightgaine's Ace bonus to be identical to Gaine's, and I couldn't have been more wrong. He casts a free Bravery once he reaches 150 Focus. That's pretty good.

I'm curious. Don't tell me any other details. I'm in the UCW plotline right now. Does Souji(/I guess Chitose if you're Souji) ever come onscreen again or is he just going to spend the entire rest of the game fishing?

Wow my game actually showed up today. Considering Amazon's two day shipping usually takes an extra day to reach me, Play-Asia's free shipping getting here in a week is crazy. I still can't believe I'm about to play an English SRW that isn't OG or a fan translation. Perfect time for a 2-week vacation too.

I'm really excited for a new female protagonist that doesn't get the story pulled out from under her halfway through the game. Hopefully.

No concerns there. She is a more on-the-side protagonist than most recent games because the original villains are not 100% dominating the plot but her story is entirely hers if you pick her route.

She is also pretty awesome.

I didn't see that question, but that's a big relief. Z2 and 3 were disappointing after Z1 in that regard. I don't play the OG series anymore either so it's been quite a while since a real female MC. Chitose already seems likable enough a couple missions in.

Yeah, V kind of goes too far in the opposite direction in that the original villain faction is pretty thin and basic but that is a huge relief after Z2 and Z3 so I don't mind.

I feel like several games' worth of good quality originals got dumped into Insalum in Z2-2 because nothing since has come even remotely close.

if you're on ps4, just make a junk email account and register a new psn account and set the region as singapore. look up a random pizza hut in singapore or something for the address. that's about it.

It's not like it's any different to make the account on Vita.

Definitely feel like Supers come out ahead since a lot of enemy units are pretty accurate and dodgy, so a lot of the time you have to use spirits; in that case why not save a defensive spirit and just facetank with armor + prevail.

I think there are more powerful Supers in this one than Reals, but the usual suspects like the Strike Freedom are still busted beyond belief. Judau also gets Soul before some people get Valor, so he and the ZZ Gundam are good as hell too!

The Cross Ange world is explicitly the shittiest place in the world populated by the shittiest people and its villain is considered the shittiest person by literally every single person in the world. It's pretty impressive how all-in they are for "no, really, these people suck"

It's exhausting because the betrayals and counter-betrayals and counter-counter-counter betrayals all take place at such a breakneck pace, but I did like Hilda and Ange bonding over everything being garbage. Also Vivian is a good girl.

Uuuugh. I appear to have gotten the normal ending. Despite having somewhere in the ballpark of 50 Aces. And around 20 Great Aces, for that matter.

gently caress unknown ending requirements. Just tell us what you want, game! :argh:

You get to use it.

For exactly one mission.

Unless you get the true ending, apparently, you get to use it whenever you want there.

That's the thing-- they say it can destroy continents, but I was expecting it to show up around the time as Shin Getter Scythe or insert planet destroying attack here.

Well, the mission you can use it during is the final Invader mission. So it is actually around that time!

Not that the attack you're referring to is in this game. It's substituted with Shin Shine Spark.

I kinda want to try to beat SD Gundam G Generation Genesis' campaigns without using mobile suits. Just planes and tanks(I think the attack helicopter might be an optimal pick on some missions though due to the anti-ground weapon).

To be fair, it took a FUB to bring her to four inventory slots and a bunch of bought items to pump the base number that high, but nothing is too much for the bravest and best member of that god-forsaken island.
