Romanization isn't an exact science and those are still correct unless official romanizations exist (I have no idea, I know nothing about Dunbine beyond what SRW has shown me).

That said "Noble" is still undeniably wrong but if that's the only mistake in the translation, it's a good translation...but I hope it's fixed.

Now that there's been 3 'battleship' series in a row, plus Cowboy Bebop, the sky is the limit for anything sci-fi.

I, personally, cannot wait for Outlaw Star to show up in SRW I.

I'm pretty sure those are, in fact, the (most recent) official romanizations - the various official releases themselves have been inconsistent over the years.

One of the things that is nice is that we only have a couple "unit only" series this time

Hopefully there won't be too many "no plot" or "post series" shows here as well, especially for G Gundam

It's not like China where there's one state supported romanization system but there are a few similar but different standards used in different aspects of Japanese life...but there are also just mistakes and also SRW's official stuff is just deliberately crazy.

Seeing Devilman makes me feel bittersweet of the many times people tell me my games shouldn't be named SRW because series not containing robots or whatever.

Well, on the actual game itself.

It actually feels like they've listened to criticisms of V / X with this game for as much as reasonably possible (making a new game with zero reused assets was never going to be feasible, for example) - off the top of my head, Gundams have been cut down to around 8 instead of making up a whole bulk of the cast, they brought back long requested series like GGG, G Gundam and GxS, the recycled assets series from Z are the ones people like more except Trider, cutting the ones that made people fall asleep (Daitarn) and they brought in Rayearth, which is a series that's built up the reputation of being unlikely enough that it's a game seller all by itself (though it definitely comes off as being one game late) along with Bebop being 90s nostalgia bait.

And then there's DD, which seems to be a response to the requests of people who are potentially interested in an SRW Gacha Game, but don't want to play the frankly pretty horrid Plants Vs Zombie defense game.

So, maybe this is the game where they're going to right the ship, so to speak.

On the cynical side, I wonder about the execution of the story, since I'm really hoping the series aren't going to pop out of different dimensions again, and then you have like the standard SRW odd segregation of Space-heavy series (Harlock / Bebop) with the atmosphere based ones, especially the fantasies. The core concept seems weaker than the previous game and seems to mostly be trying to stand on its series list being a string of desired entries. Well, as long as they hired a good writer...

What's less likely for me is whether the gameplay will actually be good again, since they're performing ship-righting anyway - I think it would really take the magic out of using Magic Knight Rayearth (oops) if you're still going to spend half of the game moving your strongest unit into the enemy and then hitting End Turn a lot... well, unless they implement the Auto-Battle from DD and turn it into a true Visual Novel experience.

And for the love of god I really hope they don't try to reflavor the Z-Crystals/Shop system again.

Not too confident about it being NEO/Z1/Alpha Gaiden levels of fun again, since I know there really isn't enough of us gameplay-oriented people existing for Bamco to actually care about catering to us, but C'est La Vie.

Super Robot Wars Dimension Driver is quite different from other games in the series. First off, there is an automatic mode. Next, there isn’t an “Ally Phase” and an “Enemy Phase”. Instead, each unit acts according to their speed stats, and you can check who will act next with the timeline at the top left of the screen.

Wait, DD won't have the units be locked behind gacha? What the hell IS this game? I'm genuinely confused now...

I guess the parts are locked behind gacha? It sounds too good to be true if it isn't loving you over with gacha. It's not a phone game without that!

If there's a gacha, I imagine DD will have an ongoing plot and further additions to the roster, much like X-Omega. Since they already started with Devilman, we can hope for really out there stuff.

Bandai Namco usually announces stuff when they're roughly 70-75% complete, so it is most likely that SRW T is one of the last, if not the last, performance of Unshou Ishizuka. That said, I am curious as to how they'll handle Hammerhead. Jet's vehicle only has a grapple hook for a weapon, and its only "attack" in the show was to use its elongated nose like a shovel to scoop up a bounty target. Maybe he'll be like Ray's custom VF-117 (no weapons, only a repair and resupply module) or the Excellence Rescue (dedicated repair/resupply unit with one or two attacks). Or they'll cut Hammerhead and have Jet be on the Bebop full time, with Ed and Ein as his subpilots.


On the other hand, I am looking forward to the most ambitious crossover to date: the ultimate commentator tag team of Punch, Judy and Stalker.

I really wonder how useful the Bebop ships are going to be. They don't really... have a lot going for them, but it could be one of those "It's a S-sized unit with a single powerful-as-poo poo attack so it's actually kinda broken" situations

Spike and Faye at least have weapons (Faye more than Spike, mind) that could lead to some variety in attacks. Faye is almost certainly going to have one of the patented "full volley" attacks where she unloads everything in one attack. Spike's probably going to have less weapons, but more fancy animations since Swordfish gets involved in a lot of dogfights/aerial chase scenes.

I'm more concerned with how Bebop's music is going to turn out, and what'll be used for tracks. "Tank!" is almost a given (even if it'll be without the opening vocals), but I'm hoping we get "Real Folk Blues", "Blue" and "Space Lion", even if the latter is not easy to cut down for SRW due to how long of a track it is.

Noble what it is in the official english dub of G Gundam so its actually correct! Couldn't tell you why they went with that, but they did.

Apparently Beltorchika's Children stuff, Crossbone and Last Red Shoulder are units only Not sure if regular Crossbone is units only or just Steel 7 and Skull Heart. Same as X basically.

He's also Doctor Hell in Infinity, so if he managed to record the lines for both, then he'll have gone out on a high note, really.

Checked the series listing and regular Crossbone is not units only. Then again, neither is Trider, nor was Daitarn in V or X, so take that as you will.

Daitarn 3 getting replaced with Trider G7 seemed kind of odd at first but after seeing this I'm on board.

Unless they're saving it in another trailer so they've still got things to blow our minds with, it's probably gonna be a V situation.
