Quick question - I found myself on Akurasu looking for a reference for something unrelated, and it lists "Enhanced Human" as a pilot skill in V. Is that the actual English skill name?

Actually, they ran it as Artificial Newtype... even though 人工ニュータイプ is an actual denomination on its own, commonly found in the GX world.

Mind you, both wiki pages have 強化人間 and 人工ニュータイプ listed as Cyber Newtype, so...

It had a dubious honor of introducing Macross Frontier and Dancougar Nova though at that time no one would know those would basically become series mainstays up til V.

The cast list doesn't quite stand out otherwise outside of the "currently 1 time only" Iczer series. I guess it's the last time Combattler and Voltes shown up but those two are almost Daitarn/Zambot tier in building feelings of "What, again?"

It doesn't help that they're all high on the "just throw them in, plot, whatever" tier. Zambot in V had a decent intro, at least, but I just completely lost track of them afterwards.

Was Zambot even in Z3? I only remember Daitarn was because of that baffling "hey Banjou congrats on finishing Daitarn 3 between chapters" bit.

Banjou was relevant in Z, but I don't remember one thing he did in Z3.

There was an entire thing about how the final phase of ascension was the Sun and, like Gunleon during the Fire reveal, I don't think anybody even acknowledged Daitarn was there.

Augh, Z3.

I can hear you
Zambot was in Z3.2 and had the start of a single stage dedicated to it where the Gaizock go "humans are bad and apotheosis is bad" and Kappei went "no, you are the ones who are bad actually" and thats pretty much it. You did get to fight a Gaizock fella though. And yeah, Lord Genome does his "aaa the sun!" thing and then two games later Banjou is apparently completely unrelated to the Sun as far as the stupid prophecy goes.

While it's not much I do feel they did a nice job tying together Daitarn and Zambot with Nadesico and Might Gaine(and to a lesser extent the other series on the AD world)

We're talking about V, right? Since birthday lists changes in every game.

11/11 B is good but it's also a very Support-oriented set and if you want to try to pull double duty as both a Support Caster and Combat, it might be rather tough. If you don't mind relegating your MC to the role of Support, it's certainly a good set, but this time around, it isn't the all-round superior choice that it usually is.

Souji's default (12/13 A) is actually pretty good. It's one of the three Birthdays that has access to Accel, which I know is a really popular command so that's kind of shockingly low.

Some other suggestions:
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Type B: Has both Intuition and Persist, which makes you very hard to kill against bosses.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) Type AB: Learns Iron Wall pretty early at level 20.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Type A: The Birthday that learns Drive the earliest, relatively speaking. If you like those skills that kick in at 130 Will, you might like it.

EthanSteele
Nov 18, 2007

I can hear you
I really like 11/11B because then you always have Attune, Foresee and Bless and eventually Prospect unless you decide to not deploy the MC for some reason. You still get Focus and afaik every birthday has Soul. Give your MC the free Concentrates you get and suddenly you have suepr cheap Strike and Flash on anyone at any time.

Instead of doing the clone-suit-with-alt-pilot DLC like they did in FB/Maxi, suits will now be able to unlock different canonical pilots and you can use which one you want with the suit retaining the same cost/moveset. The Guncannon can be piloted by Amuro or Ryu Jose instead of Kai, for example, and the Throne Zwei can be piloted by Ali instead of Mikhail if you want.

IIRC Chan and Amuro are both ReGZ pilot choices if you want.
