I have a feeling IBO will probably mostly be Season 1 only in it's SRW usage*, as Season 2 is just kinda awkward in how it would be able to fit *well at least in games that would actually use it's plot instead of just being post series

If they do bring in S2, it would be interesting to see if and how Gaelio and Julietta are recruitable.

Season 2 seems pretty easy to do. The antagonists aren't really heinous individuals and represent the government. You just have them resolve their conflict and team up with the main cast to take down the truly evil enemies at the end of the game, like how the Titans and Neo Zeon characters joined in V. There are plenty of SRW games that have you fighting against the world government for large parts of the game. IBO would actually mesh really well with 00 if they wanted to put them in the same game.

Unless Mika, Orga and Akihiro were only mostly dead, and got rushed to one of IBO's healing pods off-screen by Rustal's subordinates for some plan of his. (more Ein-style brains?) There are also other options that require shifting the plot just a little. For example, have Orga initiate plan 'screw this, I quit' just a bit earlier, and don't have the whole gang stand around in the street with their trademark jackets.

There’s always the good old got saved by people from other series card too. Like yeah, sure, Banjo Haran came in and fought off Rustal’s people and saved Mika and co., why not.

Only real challenge is what they do with the walking disaster area that is McGillis.

Somehow, I think people who'd be excited for IBO in SRW would want more pilots than just Julieta and Eugene (Possibly with Quattro shades.) But yeah. IBO isn't set up for a post-plot inclusion. Maybe between seasons 1 and 2, but not post series. Also, traditionally if someone's going to save characters from their set fates, we don't deserve to know his name.

Hence why I figure they'll mostly stick with Season 1, it will be a lot easier to work with than using Season 2 or going post series Also just realized IBO would sync up pretty well with G Gundam in a SRW context

There is an active one and a new game is coming out in two months. They make them in English now so all you have to do is order a copy or make a Singapore PSN account. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3875338

I've got pretty limited experience with the older ones, but there's definitely better and worse in regards to jank. Someone else would be more useful than I am, but I'm pretty sure at least some of them hold up okay.

Alpha Gaiden didn't strike me as janky at all by PS1 RPG standards when I played it, but then, my standard for PS1 RPG jank is Final Fantasy Tactics, a game that is charitably speaking totally loving borked. e: Also, regarding post-series IBO, there's... really no reason they couldn't redo the ending and make it an everybody-lives ending? Like, that's not really outside SRW's wheelhouse, they gently caress with plots all the time.

I mean, even hard-left-turning away from the entire second season and having some kind of alternate S2 happen wouldn't be that weird for SRW.

They can have IBO in the center of the plot and have the good ending/bad ending plot branch depend on Tekkadan not following their stupidity, like Z2 with Code Geass. And then next game is post-plot but everyone's fine. Until the writers forget which plot branch they were following. Again.

Just have Orga not fall for the obvious King of Mars ploy, and have Iok quietly murdered off screen between seasons one and two.

Julieta just happened to be involved with the game's main plot at the time, and while she was away, Iok drowned in a goldfish bowl.

I'm finally watching through Season 2 of IBO rather than just reading about it, and it's amazing how utterly, completely, and consistently he fucks up the Hamshael thing. Every Time Tekkadan and McGillis almost have it in hand he ploinks the thing with his railgun and runs away screaming about the spirit of his men.

I felt like Vidar wasn't contributing the first time I watched through, but on a rewatch, I saw that his job for when McGillis and Julieta were attacking was "Watch Iok". The fact he actually managed to keep Iok from further screwing things up is the best argument I've seen that he's the true hero of season 2.

Well, Truthfully if Mikazuki was having a tough time with his AV system and the Hamshael. I imagine Vidar wouldn't have faired much better.

Iok's death rules because his stupid habit of running in finally bites him in the rear end. He could have just had his men just gang up and waste Akhiro, but he decides, yet again, to charge in solo while ignoring his men's objections. If he had gone with reinforcements he would have lived, but his idiotic pride finally does him in.

Tbh I feel like it would have been more interesting for Iok, dumbass that he was, to live. The catharsis his death is meant to give just seems at odds with the what should probably be a much more bitter story.

Not really; Iok's literally run out of people who would've been willing to sacrifice themselves for him, and finally gets what's coming to him.
