Yo, what are people’s opinions of Build Divers? Last proper Gundam I watched was IBO, loved season one but kind of fizzled out on the second one. I Ioved Build Fighters, but Build Divers looks very different- a bit too SAO at first glance - and although I’ve heard very good things about ReRise I don’t hear much about the original Build Divers. Is ReRise worth muddling through the first series? I absolutely love all the 00 Gundam variations on the wiki, for what it’s worth.

Build Divers has some fun characters and some good stand-alone episodes but the main plot is is absolutely awful. ReRise is cool though and I don't think you like, need to watch Divers for context, though you will ofc. miss some of the references.

The cannibalism is only mentioned in passing in the show too.

As the OP of the current one I demand we follow the naming scheme established in the threads thus far and good luck to the clown that has to make a pun on F91.

Watch a good show imo. Either S1 of 00 or something else entirely.

I also appreciate that Lockon 2 is like, an okay sniper but as the stakes increase he’s more likely to just pull out his pistols and go to town.

I like the idea of Lockon 2 looking the same as his twin (obviously) but being a completely different person from his fighting style to his reletionships to his values, but I think they kind of undercut themselves by having him go "hey Haro, did my brother have a catchphrase I can copy?" during his first fight.

So I've been playing Gundam Breaker 3 a lot lately, I've just been in a gundam mood since watching IBO I guess and I've never really watched Gundam X before and between some idle curiosity in that, and the fact that the Virsago looks a lot like wing's Epyon I've come around to really wanting to see it just to know what's going on in that series. So what's the consensus on it? I never really hear about it; is it just boring and no one talks about it? Or is it bad so people try not to bring it up?

I'm mixed on X cause it has some really fun episodes and one of the best romances in the franchise (funny how actually making it a focus of the show will do that) but as mentioned the ending is very abrupt and also I have some issues with its themes.

Will it have an english dub or anything?

Have the existing srw games got any non-Japanese voices, or is it always japanese voices with other options for text?

No SRW has ever had a dub.

i wonder if the weird roster is due to the devs coming up with some gameplay idea then trying to match it to an existing suit

I don't really see how the GM fits into that though, since it's just "the Gundam, but worse"

I think it would really benefit from a trilogy remake similar to Hathaway's Flash to make the story less of a mess

How can you say that when by your own admission you haven't seen it?

I mean, I know about it via SRW. I just heard that the story is rushed mess because of the production issues, and that sentiment seems to be shared by a lot of people.

I was just making a suggestion

So you don't have any idea what you're talking about, got it.

I doubt it, if only because if that was the case you'd expect them to stylize the titles similarly.

Crossposting this from the Gihren's greed thread cause that thread seems, hella dead:

Droyer posted:

Started playing this game now that the revil campaign is complete. It turns out I am insanely poo poo at it. I've never really played grand strategy games before and I find it all a bit overwhelming. Managed to lose as Revil on Easy on turn like, 12. Also sometimes my advisor at the beginning says that we've managed to capture enemy data (or something like that) and I assumed that was enemy blueprints being stolen but I can't find where I'm supposed to find them so I can develop them.

Also further question: according to this https://girensgreed.fandom.com/wiki/EFSF_Event_Tree The only way to keep Ryu alive is to let the White base get defeated and thereby turning of White Base mode, but later White Base omde events says that Ryu gets exp if he's still alive. Is there a way to keep him alive while still being in White Base mode?

I can’t either. If it’s not some original creation it’s too hard to tell what part is the original design and what has been added, while the other two have obvious GP02 and F91 parts.

The second one is clearly victory 2 though

Nah. F91. There's also the torso's... rib thingies there, and the back are clearly the VSBRs (albeit upside-down) and not the Wings of Light.

First ep of G-witch was pretty cool. The plot is almost beat for beat the same as the first ep of Revolutionary Girl Utena which is not a comparison i was expecting to make abot Gundam.

edit: lol oops missed it had its own thread
