More things I like about V:
It feels like no matter what skills I develop it's always a good investment. I never worry that I'm wasting points.
Gloomy characters aren't so gloomy. I love the whole 'why worry about the pasts we left behind' concept that gets brought up early on and turns the more brooding characters into normal relatable bros.

What's the difference between the Gundam versus games and the battle operations ones?

I'm looking to get versus next week but im not very familiar with all the game modes or specifics of these games.

The Gundam VS. games are fast-paced 2v2 arcade fighting games, where as the Battle Operations games are slower and more strategic.

Gundam Versus is a fighting game franchise, Battle Operation is more traditional action.

I'm finishing my second playthrough of V and I wish Ghuli will be saveable in OG, 20 years from now. He's one-note but fun.

Versus is a 3D fighting game, while Battle Operation is a 3rd Person Shooter

Gundam Versus games look superficially like any old third person shooting/slashing action game but they are the successors to a Virtual-On, with its very specific kind of timing and dodging based PvP gameplay.

If by "unlock" you mean "pay money for DLC" then yeah there is unlocking. Otherwise no.

You have to unlock strikers though. And new pilots, but isn't that just a different voice set?

I really don't like Nine's design in V.

Really really don't like it. Which is sad since the rest of the characters look really nice except the male protagonist. Oh and Ruri who has something weird about her face I can't quite put into words but it bothers me.

You can get some pretty good items by capturing stuff and it's funny to stick someone in an Apsalas but that's about it.

Pretty sure that's just how Ruri has always been

I kinda wish they would have like, explained Nine's design at some point. Like OK she made herself a body somehow but did she dress herself too? Did she get advice from someone with weird tastes?

I like Nine's design but if she got her inspiration from the people she was around she spent the early game with mostly the Yamato crew

Yeah the fact that she is the recipient of a bunch of really stupid anime ideas is absolutely central to her character.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

yeah my main point is that she wasn't around anyone who dressed all weird steampunk goth before she decided that was her look, so it kinda ruins the fun of her shtick in that particular instance. like if aquarion was in the game and shed met the goth girl from that itd make sense.

Didn't Nine only create her physical avatar AFTER they arrived on the AU Gundam/Might Gaine/Zambot/Daitairn/Nadesico/Cross Ange world though?

They probably talked about how much they wanted a goth girl around where she could hear them.

I don't mind Ruri's look for the most part but her pre upgrade cut in for the gravity blast is pretty dire.

Probably explains why the Brave Express have no girl robots. Maito was going to have a goth lady-bot made but then Gaine met Nine and Maito didn't need to.

I also feel that a character wearing a mash-up of two punk/counterculture fashions going around asking pure-hearted questions about justice and whether robots have souls clashes just a little.

I think the gears are just gears, because Nine is fundamentally a manufacturing machine. I guess she's a goth because she's an incomplete entity and the one thing she's missing is love?
