Having an SRW in English is so cool. The J fan patch and the GBA OG games were my intro to the series and I've really missed being able to read what's happening. I'll pick up a ps4 sometime down the road Im sure. Do we know if the Vita version of V is getting a Signapore release?

Also trip report on impact, I'm at the final stage but I can't get the will power to play it. Especially with SRWZ3 here now, and I really hate the partner system in it so I don't even like it that much it's just way better. Plus it's very pretty.

I'll beat Char someday though. Maybe.

Just go and rip that band-aid out in one go! You can do it!

And I'm pretty sure V will be like MD, with only the PS4 version get the "translation".

The real problem is that by the time he got twelve Care Bears (are there twelve?) to form a new, awful, pastel Supreme - which would, to be fair, still look less terrible than Z Supreme - you'd never be able to get one of them to cut themself off. Hell, we barely got an Eternity to rebel who'd been angry for the lifetime of a jillion universes.

Ten original bears, a billion others added over the years.

And I'll argue against your point! From what I see in this list here, all Bears embody such positive emotions that they would probably supercharge the Supreme with goodness, love for people, love for the world, etc, that it'd reject Advent's shenanigans and probably turn him good.

I feel dumb that, just about 40 missions in, I have yet to use Maximum Break once. Or even understand it.

The tutorial was... Not particularly articulate on the subject, to be fair.

Here's the summarized version:

1) Get a unit with the MB skill as the lead of a Twin
2) Park said Twin next to another Twin, same plane
3) All four units got an F-weapon equipped? Are they in range?
4) Do they have 140 morale?
5) Have the person with the skill start an attack, using a non-ALL weapon, and MB will be usable

So, another question about PP - for a semi-locked subpilot like Shoko, is there any reason to grab any skills that aren't directly related to just using spirits? Or do the other relevant skills carry over to the combined mech? I assume only the main pilot's skills are applied, but can't hurt to ask.

The G-Thunder Gate DOES have a MAPW so if you grab her Continuous Action, you can have her pop out, MAPW some stuff and kill at least one. Chain that until you're happy and have Kouta bring her back in.

Other than that, I'd just grab SP Ups.

So it's not just me, right. Moon Dwellers is a starting out a bit harder then past games.

I mean, blowing up 14 units with you having 50% hit rates pre-focus, some of whom evade or defend, then you have to be in the ship by turn 5.

Don't remember anything like that in OG2nd.,

The gimmick of the R originals was that they had seven different frames: Striker, Gunner, Diver, Flyer, Cosmo Driver, Lightning, and Eternal. When the Excellences showed up in OG Gaiden, only Striker, Lightning, and Eternal made it over. So in this game, since they brought back the Striker, they also decided to tack on Gunner so R fans could get a little more bang for their buck.

The Flyer and Cosmo Driver forms were also in OGs.

How is the English translation of Moon Dwellers, mechanically speaking? Meaning story stuff aside, do the menus and spirit commands and mission objectives make sense? I'd love to play a SRW game without having to refer to a guide for the first half of the game to learn the seishins and for the rest of the game for the objectives and bonus stuff. And getting some story stuff would be neat too, even knowing that it'll be bad at times.
I've played a fair amount of OG, beat Z2: Hakai-Hen, and am maybe halfway through 2nd OG or whatever it's referred to as though I haven't touched it in years. Grinding in Gundam Breaker 3 is getting a bit boring and I'd really like to dive into a SRW game in a way I never have been able to before. Is Moon Dwellers everything I could wish for?

Mechanical stuff like menus and whatnot are perfectly fine, save for many terms being different from the Atlus names. Character and unit names seem fine, barring a few oddities (Irum, short for Irmgard).

As for actual plot and terminology... "inconsistent" is the word I'd use. Despite the fact that the company who did the translation claims they have twenty five years of experience doing so, there are MANY odd phrases - grammar, conjugation and whatnot are all over the place. Is it understandable? Yes, but it could certainly be better.

Terms are sometimes left in Japanese for apparently no reason (Gyokuza Ki, Shura no ran) while some lines are simply mistranslated - thankfully, this isn't a common occurrence but it IS there.

I bought the english version to support the initiative but I always make sure to have videos of the JP version open to check on anything that strikes me as odd. Hopefully, Bamco will hear the feedback and at least hire a competent team of editors to clean up V's script because MD shows a lot less polish than Gundam Breaker 3's translation.

Seriously Banpresto give us back the Wildschwein. Put it in instead of the MP Hucky III they dig out of storage every game. Or the Schwert, does anyone actually use the Schwert?

I can think of uses for the Schwert: it flies well out of the box, has good movement and is S-sized. That's decent enough that you CAN put a support in there just to tag along.

I see no such caveats for the MP Hucky. The thing sucked in OG2, it sucks even more now.

I... can't really remember the last time SRW actually pushed me to watch something. I'm usually satisfied with reading the stories in the game.

In truth, the only anime mech shows I've fully watched were the ones that played on TV when I was a kid: Gundam Wing and Patlabor.

If we expand into Sentai, I also watched Power Rangers religiously (what with being born on the tail end of the 80s) but I was first brought into the genre via Changeman and Flashman. A VHS rental place had their full series.

Edit:

poo poo, talking about it made me want my dose of nostalgia. This chorus is etched into my head to this day!
