Go to https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-sg/home/games Create an account. Use a McDonalds from Singapore for the address. (Google it.) Otherwise it's entirely in English. Buy a PSN Card for the Singapore region. The easiest way is from Play-Asia if you don't mind supporting them. Otherwise a lot of import retailers sell the cards. You need $90 SNG to buy it. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-sg/games/super-robot-wars-og-the-moon-dwellers/cid=HP0700-CUSA04713_00-SPRBWA25OGMD2016 Boom.

Silvergun1000 posted:I can't speak for others, but this is going to be my first SRW since OG2, anything worth knowing before I jump is as far as mechanics? I'm especially curious as to how you determine what units are good to pair up and what I should be aiming for as far as upgrades. General tips: Accuracy should be the very first thing you upgrade on any unit. You'll want to give accuracy boosts as soon as you hit Hard mode or else you're going to be in for a very bad time. From there you'll want to upgrade Armor (for Supers) and Mobility (for anything dodgy), EN and weapons. Weapons are super-expensive to upgrade so consider only upgrading a boss killer or two until you get later into the game. When picking what to upgrade consider if it is something you're going to use. The MP Gespensts for example are genuinely not worth upgrading as you CAN find a better unit for those pilots. Anything that is pilot-locked is usually a safe bet to upgrade without worrying about it getting replaced by a new unit. When pairing up, making sure to keep the following in mind: A) Both units need to be able to fly for the combined pair to fly. B) Accelerate ("Quicken" in the English translation) is a very useful ability and you should try to spread it out. C) Don't pair up units with combo attack. Combo attacks take up both actions and this also can hurt Maximum Breaks. Try to spread them out if you can.

The ExEx is locked to TK still though.

Silvergun1000 posted:What should I be saving my PP for? Looks like they got rid of SP regen so there goes my easy answer! Generally: Continuous Action (extra action on enemy kill) which makes several SR points much easier and is overall a good skill. The Maximum Break skill on whoever you want to use as your boss killer assuming they are not someone who has it already. Break Morale Limit. Attack Again if someone has a high skill. Just pump it into their relevant damage stat for hilarious gains. Support Attack on anyone who doesn't have it.

Luceid posted:agreed that attack stats are a good and cool PP dump, once you get someone completely absurd like Calvina to ~300 ranged you even get two for the price of one by dumping someone like Sally in her squad and casting union. Yeah, it is worth mentioning actually: If you know you're going to either be using someone as a second pilot exclusively or a subpilot (i.e: One of the Akatsuki siblings, Glacias or Rim, Aya and Rai, ect) get them anything that increases SP or reduces your SP cost because that is the bulk of what they're going to be doing and it hilariously boosts their effectiveness.

I decided since I picked the "super" route at the start I should just go whole hog with Super Robots everywhere, so devoting yet more deployment slots to feed the SRX isn't too much of an issue for me quite yet. The SRX has a combo attack with the R-Gun, the strongest combo attack in the game. It has no interactions with the ART-1, only the R-1 does there.

You know, people say Calvina comes out worse in MD but I honestly don't think so, unless it changes at the very very end. I'm like a stage or two away from the finish and she basically carries the entire early-game plot (whereas Touya is "Granteed can't be captur... oh poo poo they captured Granteed again!") and once she gets over her revenge she becomes hyper-competent and honestly super reasonable. I particularly like how her response to Ju-Mu fighting for his family is "Yeah, a lot of people are fighting for their families, why does that excuse what he did?"

Caphi posted:My problem is just that the Granteed is supposed to be the big important powerful doom machine but it's actually really bad. It's very slow and its weapons are unwieldy. If it was actually impressive I'd be a little more inclined to get invested in Touya, like with Ing. Is the upgrade any better about this? The upgrade is way better, yeah. It's unkillable and hits like a tank, has actual range for post-movement abilities and eventually gets 3 pilots. However Calvina's robot is still better.

MarsDragon posted:No one liked Calvina for being super reasonable. "Calvina is super angry, chills out" is her plot in the original too though. Like yeah she's super angry and revenge focused but she gets over it enough to get focused. She also doesn't like... get less angry? She's still being righteously angry all the way to the end of the game, she just stops screaming and charging at people. Like I said when she encounters Ju-Mu her response is "Yeah, it sucks for you, but you're actually a crazy murderer trying to justify your actions and I'm going to put you down like a dog." Like when I say "super-reasonable" I mean "she focuses her anger on shitheads" instead of refusing to listen when someone is talking to her. If people preferred the Calvina who snapped at people on a whim that's fine I guess but also seems like a fairly unsustainable character.

The Lamalice are unfortunately also kind of boring as hell for being such a big part of MD. They're not particularly fun to fight and the last stage in particular is tedious as hell due to their three-tier nature. In case anyone was wondering, localization company:  Also Calvina? Kind of broken as poo poo:

Rascyc posted:How'd the localization hold for the rest of the game, ImpAtom? By and large it's about what you saw at the start. It averages as dry-but-understandable (with a lot of poor punctuation) but occasionally delves into straight incoherent or obviously mistranslated. (There's a scene where Calvina yells about being trained by Ja-Mu for example though they correctly translate it the rest of the time as her training him.) There's a lot of little nagging annoyances that annoyed the hell out of me but I imagine that for most people it will be good enough. It's basically in the level of "for something you're importing, it's reasonably coherent, if it was given an official US release I'd REALLY expect another editing run."

Maybe I just took the wrong splits but Hugo and Aqua might as well have not been in the game I read. Nah. Hugo and Aqua are basically Sir And Madam Not Appearing In This Game. They get a small handful of lines and that's about it. Of the recent characters they easily got the shortest end of the stick. Even Ing does more.

BlitzBlast posted:Contrast the Brigandi, which while incredibly overpowered is also sorta lackluster looking. ... What? Brigandi has some of my favorite animations in the game and I can't really imagine why it would be lackluster unless you're just comparing melee attack animations to ranged attack animations. Like most of what you said doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Calvina has pretty much the entire first half of the game (and is only prevented from having the entire first half of the game by the Touya path split where he doesn't even get his robot until just before they join together.) It swaps over to being more about Touya in the second half for certain but that is in comparison to Touya's first half being entirely sidelined or getting kidnapped multiple times. Even then Calvina has a lot more antagonism with Ja-Mu than Touya does (up to and including him having an exclusive Ace bonus just for her). Basically the only thing I can think them significantly changing is Al Van being most instantly not a bad guy and that's kinda necessary considering how poorly it was handled in J. Edit: MD's plot is fairly thin overall but if I had to say someone got screwed by it it would be the GC guys who just kind of meander around despite it being their debut game. The GC plot wasn't exactly big in the first place but they turned out any chance to really flesh it out and hilariously murder all the Gardisword so they don't even get the big reconciliation scene like the J guys do.

ShiunTouya posted:You need to think out of the box. Axel has drive as his twin spirit command, that turns on Touya's post movement attack along with Orgone barrier and Axel's Attacker. If you aren't using accelerate every turn then I'm not sure how you're getting those SR points. You also need to slot an accuracy modifier item in Touya's slots because that 0 and -5 aren't going to do him any favors when enemies are as dodgy as they are. Even with all those things Granteed lags behind other units. Having to blow Drive just to make him competent looks a lot worse when he's hanging out with a lot of other units that are just plain better. Dracodeus is amazing of course but the regular Granteed is probably the single worst of the new units in the game and honestly probably one of the worst units available to you outside of like the lovely jet or MP Hucke. (Which is partially due to MD having an amazing unit lineup but still.) Rascyc posted:In both of those Calvina screenshots I'm more happy to see Shu well represented Shu would basically be the most broken if Calvina wasn't there. Post-move insane-range MAP attack, incredibly high damage, effectively unkillable AND Neo Granzon who does all those things but better? I didn't even go out of my way to use Shu, he just happened. Especially in the late game you can effectively end stages by sending Calvina one direction and Shu the other and just having people follow in to clean up after they're done.

ShiunTouya posted:You are supposed to use Drive at the beginning of the stage to get any mileage out of it. It's also there for a reason, which is to use it during the early game to turn on Attacker when there's not enough enemies and you don't have better things to use Axel SP's on. Drive is absolutely a "at the start of a stage" spell but also of limited use because of that. It's also Axel's twin spell which means it is draining SP from both him and Touya and with the dodge boost enemies get once you hit hard mode having SP available for Focus/Strike makes things a lot less tedious. Accuracy upgrades can help the latter but it also goes back to the problem of "Almost anyone else in the game will benefit more from this than Granteed." Like I said, once he gets Dracodeus almost every problem he has is solved and he becomes a fantastic unit because he doesn't need a bunch of babysitting and investment to hit 'competent.' Panic! at Nabisco posted:Geant Chevalier what did they do to you Geant Chevalier gets helped a lot once you ace Josh because he gets a low-cost version of the "break barriers + move faster + attack after move" spell, which makes him actually an incredibly good Armor Breaker. But until then Fortegigas is the way to go. Cheavlier is basically a goddamn waste of time until that point.

ShiunTouya posted:I've never had issues with using drive because there's Alfimi for any of the few times Axel actually misses or needs sure hit. So at this point, I just want to be clear, you're going "Touya is good as long as you pair him with Axel and Axel is good as long as you Alfimi to cover his lack of accuracy!" So you're now three people in the hole in order to make Granteed a unit which even you admit isn't one of your top aces. It's basically the same problem as the Chevalier actually. You CAN invest a bunch of stuff in getting it going or just use something else that requires less to get going and which probably is overall better to boot. The only reason I'd put Geant Chevalier above Granteed is because it is one of your few early-game sources of Armor Breaker which makes killing certain bosses before they run a lot more viable. Caphi posted:And then a bunch of Lamalice stages lock in the Chevalier and Neige. At least you have the ability to revert back to the Aile Chevalier which, while not optimal, is more usable if you're not looking to kill a boss. (Pretty much every Lamilice stage)

ShiunTouya posted:You COULD do the same with Chevalier, but then you'd need to make a bunch of concessions to make that twin decent due to the bad matchup of ranges between Soulgain and Geant and the fact Geant Chevalier can only fly (And gets a ridiculous unusable FUB too). Attacker is also a way to killing bosses and simply using that along with Sure hit when you need it (not often) is not an issue. You're simply using Alfimi for her intended purpose. Granteed being usable is a byproduct of being decent matchup to Axel, but you could replace Granteed with anyone you want. Attacker is infinitely inferior to Maximum Break though. Like the only thing you could really be doing (which admittedly is what I did) is make Axel part of the Maximum Break but if you do that there are a BUNCH of better partners for him than Touya. Most of what you're saying is "Axel is a really good unit" which is true. It has nothing to do with Touya and you can pair Axel with, say, Touma and get a better result.

I have to say that MD's secret list is honestly kinda crap. Aside from the weapon and the bonus parts none of them are remotely worth the trouble. Coustwell would be fine if you got it earlier in the game but coming AFTER the upgrades means that at best you'll stuck Touya in there for all of like 3 stages since he's either plot-locked or the Dracodeus has other advantages and unless you go out of your way to gimp Calvina for the first 2/3rds of the game she'll have no use for a melee-oriented mecha that is in every way inferior to her main one.
