So, is the announcement next Sunday or Monday in the US? I know it's Monday in Japan, but I don't have a head for time zones.

Depends on the time. If it's Monday morning in Japan, it'll be Sunday afternoon/evening in the US. If it's Monday afternoon/evening in Japan, it'll be way too early Monday morning in US. If it's Monday night, it'll be Monday morning.

It'll be December 11, "from 21:00 to 22:30 JST". If you want to keep track of when that is in your local time, Windows can put a secondary clock in your clock settings, like so. 9 PM JST is edit: 6 AM CST for what that's worth.

6 AM CST, just so there's no confusion. So if you want to watch it live, you need to get up early on Monday.

I don’t know what kind of story I expected Cross Ange to have but I was not expecting this. (Finally sitting down to resume V)

Edit: also holy crap I suddenly have like 3x as many mechs as I have dispatch slots

Going off his post it sounds like about the point where you get most of the Cross Ange units for the first time, so relatively early in the game from my recollection

Okay, well, you won't get that. I think, it's been a while since I played V, but I'm pretty sure they're the only kids who die on screen, I mean apart from all the kids who are probably dying because of the Feddies and Neo Zeeks fighting each other but we don't see them

I think I just realized a part of why I prefered V so much more than any of the OG games I've played. Enemy Variety. With Moon Dwellers its the same 4.5 factions for the entire game, and what felt like the most common one had only 3 unit types. Fighting the exact same enemies over and over, just this time on the generic forest map or the generic island map just sucked the fun out of beating them. Meanwhile V would go from Neo Zeon to the DG alliance to Angels to Dragons to Myceans within stages of each other, which really helped liven things up.

I mean in addition to having a cast who all tended to be interesting and actually pitch in and pipe up for the plot.

It is great when they use Fafner because there are a billion secrets. I'm pretty sure you can end up saving every kid in that.

Generally if you don't see a Famitsu scan, you can probably assume any "Cast List Leak" you see is a fake, but even scans can be faked (really well sometimes) so it should still be taken with a grain of salt.

Nobody on the dev team would leak a real list because they want to enjoy their lives as much as possible before the inevitable crucifiction by angry fanboys whose favorite series got snubbed.

For those interested, the announcement's going to be ~17.5 hours from the time of this post, at 6 AM CST.

Nico link is here.

Youtube link is here.

Bandai-Namco channel link is here.

And there's a LINE link here.

So there's your four official streaming options.

I'm the OC that's a spunky teenager with attitude. She flips out comedically at the slightest provocation and is insecure about her bust size, but you won't find anyone more fiercely loyal to her friends or ready to fight for what's right.

I have three hopes for tomorrow. If it's a mainline game, I hope we get a weird series inclusion that we can't figure out how they could make it work. If it's an OG, I hope they take some risks and redesign some mechs to mimic of those weird series inclusions. Give Masaki a synchro rate % why not. Turn the Fairylions into Aesties for unlimited EN.

Lastly, if I'm an OG I hope I'm the jerkass ace with a heart of gold who's lucky in robots and unlucky in love.

I really hope it's not an OG game, cause that will immediately make me lose all interest

Honestly I'm hoping that now that they have a way to sell the mainline series to the Western market that they'll just phase out the OG series, as I still think it's a massive waste of time and resources that could be spent on the licensed games

If they were making OG games to sell to the Western market, they would have gotten OGG and 2nd OGs at least over here.
