So, who are people going to be beelining when 30 comes out? I'm going to pick up the Magic Knights ASAP, for sure, personally.

Probably GunXSword, the Geass stuff, and hopefully some of the MSV stuff if they have some fun Out There big boys. Oh and totally dumping everything I can into the Phenex if it's an unlockable or secret or something.

I'd sooner expect Noir as an upgrade than playable Arc.

Is Noir entirely OG or does it have a specific license attached to it?

It is a Super Robot Wars original and I don't know what license those might show up as. Mazin Emperor G wasn't listed as a separate license in V and X.

I'm curious if the knights & magic crew will get incremental upgrades throughout the game like in the show or if everyone will just suddenly get a new unit out of nowhere. Either way I can't wait to use everyone from Ernie's laboratory including the twins in their centaur mech.

Gridman first, because it's very important to have Sho around to either call out every plot twist in advance, or to explain why he can't call every plot twist out in advance, because Real Robot shows, Super Robot shows, and Ultra series shows all have different plot dynamics and he can't be expected to watch hundreds of hours of all of them.

How sure are we that the level we're seeing in that TGS video is an actual level from the game and not something whipped up specifically for demo purposes? Getting Shin Getter Dragon so early seems a little unusual.

EDIT: Also, like, they apparently had the Combattler team and Gridman, but they weren't on the list of usable units, and the deploy limit was only nine, which is way too low for a mission that seems to be at least a little ways into the story. My guess is Ryoma will be in Black Getter in the final game.

For X's chinese game show whatever demo thing they did replace... I think it was Masaki(?) with Dunbine as a placeholder, so I suppose you could be right.

I'll probably do the usual and get full weapons upgrade on the OG unit before looking at anything else.

Edit: I started a V draft off-site, but still need one more player. If you're interested in drafting, please respond so I can send you discord deets. I unfortunately don't have PM's.

Edit edit: at this point I'd be happy with someone who drafts but doesn't play, just to get this thing off the ground.

He absolutely can be expected to, I'm pretty sure quite a few if not most people here are proof of that!

Hard to say. It did look weird to me too. He may just have Black Getter or even the original Getter Robo in the proper game, since the lonely Ryoma lines would still work there.

If he's using Black Getter, wouldn't they just...use Black Getter? Unless it got a new model and animations...or it's the Daikessen Black Getter.

Yeah, traditional Super Robot Wars is completely linear with some branching paths that re-merge after a few chapter scattered throughout the game.

30 is going for something pretty different and is going to give you a bunch of chapters to tackle in any order you choose so you can, for instance, beeline for your favorites instead of having them show up in chapter 20/50.

In modern games no, you get like 1 or 2 of any given grunt suit and usually not enough of them to field all your pilots. And pilot swapping is heavily limited and in this game is probably just going to allow you to shuffle the UC Gundam pilots around to other UC Gundam suits. Most other series are going to lock the pilot and mechs together.

I think the only times they ever really let you swap pilots to units from another series have been making Turn-A and G-Reco suits open to Universal Century pilots and vice versa when they show up. Even other Gundam series are usually pilot/suit locked (AGE, G etc) or can only swap between suits from their own series (SEED, Wing etc).

The preview stream was partly to build up hype for the game, and who doesn't love Shin Getter Dragon? But yeah, it could also be because they're planning to surprise us with a different Black Getter variant, or possibly some other out-of-nowhere Getter for Ryoma to pilot solo.

Would be neat to see the Daikessen version of Black Getter since it's both the first Black Getter and distinct looking from the other versions

Gridman (so I can Ultraman beam stuff), Magic Knight Rayearth and which ever unit I put Amuro in. If the RX-78 is viable till end game I'll FUB it. OG unit will of course be a priority and I'm hoping the OG mothership pulls a Battle 7/Frontier and transforms.

It's possible they wanted to show off that the Ichinana now has Mazinger Blade and Breast Fire on top of its other attacks.

That and maybe they wanted to adapt the "Mazinger Z was retired" bit from Infinity this time, so Kouji has to pilot an Ichinana, like he did briefly in the movie.

Didn't Armageddon finish before Daikessen was released?

It's definitely unique and I like the idea behind it, but don't like the end result. Then again, I mainly just like the looks of the orginal Getter Robo, Armageddon Black Getter, animated Shin, and to a lesser degree, manga Shin.

Same, actually. I like how it looks and I also love how it's built as a hobo stand-in Getter because they're absolutely terrified of Getter Rays after Musashi blew up that city.
