How does SRW usually do Sentai teams? One Super Robot with 5 pilots? 5 individual units that combine? Something like the Getter mode change forms?

Zore posted:How does SRW usually do Sentai teams? One Super Robot with 5 pilots? 5 individual units that combine? Something like the Getter mode change forms? The one time they actually used Super Sentai was in Super Tokusatsu Taisen 2001. Can't really use that as any basis of comparison though, because it was the very first Himitsu Sentai Goranger, which did not have a combiner robot but just regular vehicles instead. That game was a bomb so the line was never continued though But in theory, if this was a "normal" SRW game and not Mobage, it'll probably be how Combattler / Voltes / Golion works - 1 unit with 5 pilots. They used to make the component units playable by letting you split the main robot apart in battle, but nobody really ever used that feature so now that they're tight on animation money, it's usually cut from games.

While it's not quite as important as in the West, it's still pretty popular and important in Japan, after all it was the first Sentai with a Sixth member, the first with a Dinosaur theme, and was more or less the series where they started making the main mecha a lot more unique in design from each other(a lot of the older ones are pretty hard to distinguish from each other), as well as having the mecha actually be important to the show's story and not just exist to show up once an episode to blow up the monster

Just beat stage 49, and its on to the true end route. I do like that the last few stages have been throwing 1000 TacP Haros in the factory. It means I'll probably carry over like 2 prana converters for maximum gains and like 3 Haros. Pretty sure I've got like 8 Haros at this point. Send help, stop Artrun from turning the Yamato into Lacus's ball pit away from home.

Well, that was Chitose's ending done. A very nice way of wrapping up. I managed to take out the final bosses all in one turn, mostly by making judicious use of the Wave Motion Cannon. A few MAP attacks softened up around 6 or 7 of them enough that Frontal was able to wipe them out, triggering plot, at which point it was the Yamato doing nearly double their health in damage each attack. I think the final kill count ended up with Kouji, Ange and Chitose each getting one, Frontal getting 6, and Okita getting literally everyone else. Now, on to Souji's story, and the route splits I didn't take.

A thought: one thing I think I missed in V was Super enemies (goofy monsters and stuff) feeling like they were part of the setting. In Z1, the Oni were a serious army and I think nearly took over Japan, while Gravion and Daitarn and kind of Aquarion were tied into the Federation stuff. In V Might Gaine is its own self-contained thing, as is Mazinger, and Getter, and even Cross Ange took place on its own little island. There were some odd nods to papering over the fact that Cross Ange's weird setting politics didn't play well with the part where they were part of an otherwise normal Earth. Thinking about it, what it really feels like is that in Z the lines between the big cosmic plot and the setting politics were blurred since the big plot was The Edel manipulating the Federation and ZAFT almost to the end of the game. Even in Z3.1, a huge amount of the game's conflict's lifetime was Char attacking the apocalypse in a way that was at odds with Z-BLUE. In retrospect I feel like a lot of V was just bluntly fighting enemies of the world (occasionally winning some of them over), so what happens on Earth was really secondary, even for a game about sailing into deep space. V certainly had good character work and was a good and enjoyable SRW, but you guys, I miss Z.

Samurai Sanders posted:The main reason for that was the Cross Ange plotline being center stage, right? If it isn't in the future maybe it won't be like that. I'd say it is Yamato, not Cross Ange, that caused it. Yamato basically requires a complete shitpile of an Earth.

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess that's a practical consideration, but (and I didn't see Ange) doesn't the plot require that there be another world for Embryo to have hosed with and the dragons to have come from? That's about all I can remember from the colossal infodump around stage 30. It could still work with a single world setup, just have it be a hidden continent sealed off by *insert Super Robot magic here* for X years.

That's about all I can remember from the colossal infodump around stage 30. As long as they were doing two worlds though making the second one EVA and separating them both from Yamato was a decent move. It seems like they learned from Z where you had Gurren-Lagann, Aquarion, MacF, EVA, and Big O all from their own weird dimensionally-isolated islands - literally jammed into the setting (with Big O, at least, that was a plot point). V may have had three Earths but they were all three relatively clean, self-consistent Earths. Caphi fucked around with this message at 03:50 on May 3, 2017 |

I thought the point of Z was that most of the shows had been on their own isolated worlds and the plot merged them all together.

Ethiser posted:I thought the point of Z was that most of the shows had been on their own isolated worlds and the plot merged them all together. Kinda but in Z1 they had settled into one nice integrated setting that just sort of ran itself with a minimum of Convenient Plot Bullshit during the game. The main standout in terms of weird crossover fuckery is Big O, and there was an actual point to that which tied in with Z's two major plot arcs (the Orguss/Eureka Seven ending and the Turn A/Aquarion/King Gainer setting mashup). In Z2 you start getting stuff like two Japans (because they couldn't figure out how to write Mazinger and Getter to even be adjacent to Code Geass), all the VOTOMs people futzing around in Area 11, Gurren-Lagann and Macross Frontier falling into the game ten chapters in, and all the main units of Z1 wandering into the plot Just Because. It gets worse in Z3 where Aquarion EVOL and Eva also spring out of nowhere, the plot does increasingly absurd backflips to justify half the cast being around, there is an entire second Earth that exists (as far as I can remember) solely for the sake of Gargantia, and one of the villains makes a long speech explaining that she's responsible for basically every time someone "randomly" fell out of a wormhole and went "doesn't this seem a little too... convenient to you?"
