Infinity Gaia posted:L and technically Z2.1 were the only games where the original mech does not get upgraded to a fully new form. Maybe one of the really old ones? I haven't really played a lot of the pre-Alpha stuff. But those new attacks involved it switching to a new form. It just didn't stay that way for the map sprite.

Are we really counting Z3.1's one turn of Genion GAI as an entire form?

I will be a bit disappointed if Zelguard doesn't get an upgrade. Turning GranVang into an absolutely ridiculous super robot was my favorite part of V.

Honestly I don't give a crap if Zelguard gets a new physical form or not if it gets stat upgrades, multiple new attacks, and a rad new song at about the halfway point. It worked for Gunleon.

You know, I've realized something watching that video. It certainly has a lot of fancy visual effects but the actual attack choreography is rather bland. Like, compare it to Sirbine in BX. They have the same three attacks, but the BX attacks are CONSIDERABLY flashier despite the much lower graphical quality. Perhaps because of it? Plus that DK is just super rad and the hyper aura sword itself is much cooler. In X it's basically a long flashy buildup to a single 'projectile slash'. It all looks very pretty, but seems rather unstylish. And man let's not even talk about X's aura sword which is just two really basic sword slashes which lack any sort of real impact to them. While the BX version, while it probably relies too much on SPINS (a common trend in BX is that they add a frankly unnecessary amount of spinning to every unit they can get away with) still has that really cool cut in slash finishing things off. I don't know if I'm explaining too well here, it's just something I've noticed I dislike about the newer 'mainline' SRW games. Due to the whole thing with REALLY FANCY HD GRAPHICS it feels like they spend a long time on making each frame look really fancy and not enough on making the overall animation look cool, certain special units aside (No one can complain about Nu Gundam's treatment in the PS3 generation). Edit: Maaaaan the Emperor + Kaiser combo attack is really... Underwhelming... Infinity Gaia fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Mar 29, 2018 |

If Zelguard is as good as Gunleon then I'll be happy. I mostly just prefer supers, but if not having to split work between two alternate upgrades means the main thing gets to be really good looking then that's fine too! Does make repeat playthroughs a tiny but less enticing though.Infinity Gaia posted:I don't know if I'm explaining too well here, it's just something I've noticed I dislike about the newer 'mainline' SRW games.

MX's ZZ Hyper Beam Saber has so much more weight and power to it than V's version too. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes they don't.

Anyone far enough into it to know how they're handling the Geass and Cross Ange units yet? Mostly curious about whether or not the c-listers like Todoh's sidekicks or Chris/Rosalie have been reduced to call-in attacks, if they've given any of the cross ange squaddies a new finisher besides the freeze bullets, etc.

X seems to be taking a whooooole lot of liberties, which is great because that's what makes SRW fun. It's super boring and lovely when all the plots are played straight instead of being shaken up.

These are always a nice read and I'm glad to learn you didn't get as much vitriol as other translators for this series sometimes get. I hope the same goes for Gideon, outside of the eternal jokes about delays, and that people don't tweet him with how angry they are that the game is ruined because Ankoku Daishogun is General Dark or whatever.

I'm surprised by how much X isn't introducing its new inclusions. Wataru is the main plot but both Nadia and G-Reco have popped in quite a ways into their runs. You'd think Buddy Complex would start at the top, being an isekai already, but I honestly expect it to show up with the main dudes through a couple major battles at this point.
