whether or not Vivian will be able to use her dragon form at all (she can turn into a dragon, and hits a mech once, but she never really consistently fights in it that I recall). that last one is mostly relevant because an actual dragon as a unit in a SRW game would be cool.

Best of all possible worlds would probably have it be like the Granzon > Neo Granzon transformation in MD. Just pop it and suddenly you're a wall of HP of a dragon.

I'm not super-hype about any of the shows but I'm interested in it for that reason. I remember SRWZ's announcement and my "eeeh" feeling becoming "Woooo" as I played it.

I'm extremely hyped for Hathaway's Flash, and if nothing else I love the designs of Ange and Zero despite how bad both of the sources for those two things are, so I'm excited to use them.

I still want to see Xenogears (not Saga) in SRW. It'd fit right in with the likes of Xabungle and Turn A Gundam and After War Gundam X.

Xenogars fits in with most of Alpha Gaiden, is what I'm saying.

I'd want Xenogears AND Xenosaga. Having Ziggy and KOS-MOS punch robots waaaay too big for them would be great. And the ESes would own.

I wouldn't really call Hathaway's Flash 'early UC'. Putting stuff like first gen zakus in the same strata as poo poo like MS-sized I-Field generators and Minovsky Crafts, even at different ends, is a little much.

I'd rather think of it more as Early being from the start to the end of Zeta or so, Mid being ZZ-ish through Hathaway's Flash, and Late being anything after that. But that's just dumb semantics.

Question for anyone who's ordered off of play-asia before - do they have the same idiotic restrictions on address changing or order editing that they do for cancellation and stuff? I might be moving in the next month or so and I'd rather not accidentally have a copy of SRWV sent to the wrong address because play-asia is the worst. (Or an alternative site to order from so I don't have to give them money would be cool too.)

Hathaway's Flash is a good point to separate the UC because after it mobile suits start to become smaller in size.

That's actually why I used ZZ to designate Mid UC, since that's when suits start swelling in size. Weapons get bigger and more powerful, requiring bigger reactors, and more fancy poo poo starts getting crammed into suits, plus all the extra armor to hopefully protect the suit more from the new super powerful stuff adds a lot of bulk.

And then VSBRs happen and suddenly no armor matters and making a small, super mobile target to not get instanuked by stuff. So I'm with you on that marking Late UC.

We don't know the exact processes, but whatever it is, it's extremely painful, mentally scarring, and is basically torture. And may or may not include dangerous and invasive surgery.

Nah. He'll have Focus and/Flash at the minimum, he's dodgy as poo poo.

I'll admit, I've only seen through the end of S1. Waiting on S2 to finish before I power through that. But I do remember Mika being very "win through extreme offense and aggression".

Like the snowfield fight or his general dislike for the blade because of it not meshing up with his aggressive barrel-through-and-smash preferences.

I'm a little sad Emperor and Zero don't have their own themes, but I can deal because goddamn they look awesome.

By the way, where is that Hathaway's Flash music from? It's in GGG too.

Everything I find just either says CCA or G-Gen. A remix was used for Maxi boost too, apparently.

Edit: Also, I really like whatever song that is for Cross Ange. I'm surprised, I remember being disappointed by the OST, despite looking forward to it. But I don't remember that one at all.

hathaway's flash is one of those things that is way more interesting as a summary on a gundam wiki than as an actual thing

'zeorymer guy designs gundams' is the best part of it

Yeah, that's pretty much the thrust of it. It's a whatever story but it closes out Bright's military career and has two amazing main suits, and that's enough for me.

I can't wait to never let either suit out of my active dispatch team unless actively forced to. Assuming you get Penelope too, that is.

Though I am with Solune on that I'd totally be down for more side stuff. I don't even know what I'd do with myself if AoZ or Sentinel got in. Deep Striker, FAZZ, Woundwort, Fiver, Hazel :circlefap:

I actually legitimately like the FTB version of Lalah. I never was a fan of the nightgown/hair buns thing, hair down looks so much nicer.

Of course that's glossing over the weird proportions but hey.

So I'm trying to order SRWV off of play-asia, and I went though the whole paypal thing and authorized payment but on my play-asia account, in the My Purchases section, there's a "pay" button under actions that whenever I click it, it sends me to my shopping cart, which it shows as empty. And nothing's been pulled from my paypal yet.

Will it just automatically pay up for me later or is something messed up?
