Most of the upgrades were one-ofs. They can just story-gate the upgraded forms for both G-Reco and Barbatos, it's not like there's a fundamental difference between Barbatos and how the Wing Gundams eventually become upgraded and then Endless Watlzed.

Nah, it's Sentai. You get ranges for both the zords and Kame Riders power suits like the Tekkaman guys.

I don't think I've ever done that, usually I don't have enough trouble getting people to a place in time and ironically the few missions I can think of where it's an issue are ones where the carrier isn't available because they tend to gimmick harder because of that.

There's a few missions in Z1 where the time limit was extremely tight (kill all enemies which some were battleships) by turn 5 when most of the units were ground units among a forest map. Every little single turn counts when you're doing a no-upgrade run.

I mean, it seems kinda silly that developers are surprised that if you open your game to expand from the population of Japan to...the world, you pick up a few more sales that it's worth even a haphazard translation effort.

I want the games to go back to squad systems or even just partner systems permanently. A giant roster is kinda wasted if it's just single units.

Cybuster was good in OG2 in that he was not a poo poo unit for the first half of the game when it was basically pre-deployed central. Also he had an AoE which were pretty much needed.

Alpha 3 has a bit of a scale issue where it's a galactic-level conflict culminating in a giant battle against the living personification of entropy, so that's sort of hard to top. It feels like a natural conclusion so that's probably why they've been putting it off for so long.

Alpha 3's problem is randomly going back to Earth in the final 10 stages because Gundam SEED

Focus seems terrible in late game mission considering they're always a billion turns long, and you can't freely abuse stuff like Loran casting +30 will at the beginning and then using a Soul+Butterly every other turn.

Partly why I never liked putting Amuro in the Turn A back in Z1.

ImpAtom posted:

If you're abusing mechanics you can often end up making very very late game missions take only 1-2 turns through various mechanics. This is where Focus shines because the saved SP that comes with restoring SP with items/spells pays off a lot more in a single turn.

Not in Z1. A ton of those missions are just like 2-3 hour fests, like the one mission that basically requires you to pre-aim an AoE at a spawn point of Titans. Or that one map where you have to kill like 7 series bosses across a huge map.

Also, Bandai is already putting games on the switch.

Wii U was just a weird time in which the ps3, Vita, and 3ds were at their height of power so a 4th console was probably stretching it too thin for them.

No Macross, not even the new one. So it seems like that franchise is just gone forever in the future as long as they keep doing these SEA translations.
