Wasn't very interested in the new SD Gundam game but the cut-ins are very pretty and detailed. My gundam is getting weak though, I don't recognize quite a few of the early stuff in the trailer.

Same here... I only know those that appeared in SRW.

And that's a new VA for the Purus, isn't it? She sounds quite a lot like Chieko Honda.

I'm hoping she'll be there for V, to add some lines for a potential combo attack with Marida.

Ooooh, baby. If I wasn't too hyped before, I am now!

The Mazingers and Crossbone Gundams (F91!) looked the best to me, though I really liked Yamato's attack. The other attacks looked fine, albeit rather basic - I'll withhold judgment until I see more.

This BGM list, though...



Anime ja nai, Silent Voice, Tomorrow, Southern Wind, Mizu no Hoshi (!), You get to Burning, Beyond the Time... I love so many of these!

The absence of Unicorn Gundam in the BGM list worries me but I reckon, like in MD, they simply didn't include it the bonus disk. I can't see that song and the Trans-Am theme not being in.

If the Crossbone Theme isn't here, however, there'll be hell to pay!


Edit: I'm really feeling the protagonist dude's design. People have been comparing him to Z.O.E.'s Dingo and I can definitely see it.

Not too sure about the OG bot but I'll wait until I see more.

I notice that Ple is fighting a SEED Destiny enemy in the trailer, I guess ZZ won't have many enemy units if any.

I'm really hoping ZZ has plot. Having Marida and the other Purus around but not Glemy seems like a wasted opportunity...

V Famitsu scans say that you'll, indeed, be able to choose between either Souji or Chitose as the protag; both will pilot the Vangray. The one you didn't choose will be a "sub-protagonist" but it says nothing about being a subpilot... I'm thinking something akin to Z1, in which they pilot something else and act separately.

Confession time: I just now beat MD. The final stage was annoying even by SRW standards and the epilogue didn't seem like it would be so thrilling. Turns out it wasn't. Anyway, that's over with and now I'm ready for G-Gen in ten days. I've still never beaten one of those though...

I beat MD, like, three weeks ago. And I'll agree that the finale was irksome, what with you needing to trickle down those big Lamaris... but I wasn't all too bothered because of how much the XO finale traumatized me.

Not since the Dark Brain mission did SRW manage to actively aggravate me like that. And at least in the Dark Brain mission our guys had SP Regen so we could be more liberal with SP! :tizzy:

I didn't even attack half of the Lamaris though. In fact, if you leave any of them alive the boss won't use its map attack and that's the only way I could play without throwing my PS4 out the loving window.

I also did not like having to pause attacking and wait out Faith three times .

Oh, yeah, I did leave some of the little guys to stop that. But don't you at least need to take out the big guys for the plot to kick in and the boss to show up? I thought you did.

And I guess you didn't see that the game gave you a Mind Blast equipable weapon at some point? :v:

Stick it on someone with Fury like Leona and she can dispel spirit commands - you can end the fight in one round with liberal usage of that and Enable.

Eeeh, I don't really see a point in going all up in arms because Cross Ange or whatever series got in. Yes, I know that it's notorious for some of the stuff it did but to outright dismiss the game before even seeing how events will play out? Nah.

As for me, I'm still excited for V with Mazinger ZERO, Might Gaine (though I would've loved some Exkaiser...) and Crossbone.

I'm curious, has there ever been any official RahXephon merch that confirmed what the hell the Vermillion's バウスガザル gun is supposed to mean?

After combing through several 2ch threads, it seems not even the Japanese know what it means... some speculate it's Indonesian since that's where Elvy's from (her callsign is Indonesian, too).

And I probably should have realized what was coming when Google auto-filled in 意味 the second I wrote the weapon's name...

I can't really comb through all the localized episodes to see if it's mentioned but the wiki doesn't say anything.

Additionally, the english pages Google handed me only referenced the Vermillion's weapon as a wave-motion gun, rail gun or stuff like that.

Yeah, I think basically past a certain point in time, the Magical Girl genre ended up having men be a pretty significant portion of the fanbase, if not THE biggest portion.

Like if you do Symphogear / Nanoha / Precure / Cutie Honey / Madoka, I think that's probably not quite 4 year old non-strategy RPG player demographic any more.

I actually can't quite think of any "this is clearly meant for little girls only" examples of modern MG series any more - it's not exactly the Sazae-san / Sally the Witch era any more.

And you can't even chalk that up as otaku/japanese weirdness, considering things such as My Little Pony's fandom.

And let us at least have the Sidereal Reactors help us against the Envoys. The ending shows that the Reactors' spirits are still around and ES Terran Chaos Cosmos is not-Anti-Spiral-Space, in which will = reality.

So why not make up some bullshit with Shikuu, what with his "guide souls of the dead" shtick, being able to bring their souls into Es Terran and their wills give their bodies form again or whatever?

Bonus points if we can bring in Uther and Ime as well.

Edit: And, gently caress, why can't Asakim send the Shurouga out to slap Advent some? I know he needs to be in there to weaken the guy but the mech is said to be sentient, so you can make something up.

vvv: Ah, right - I wasn't remembering the Chaos Cosmos name.

Don't forget that Granteed is also worse than her main unit in every possible way! Everything is pretty strong in MD, but Granteed is a standout at the bottom end of the power scale for 90% of the game.


Fingers crossed they manage to fulfill any of the potential when they get to OGverse in 6 million years, though if the "nah we just made Masaki have the prana inversion thing as an excuse for him to be able to come back" holds any weight I'm not holding my breath. I'm looking forward to V being as stand alone as Z1

From what I've HEARD, Masaki was slated to come back anyway (don't want Midorikawa to torch Banpresto's office) but using a Duraxyll. Problem is, they couldn't redo the thing's attacks to make them look less villainous, so they just went and made up a bullshit excuse to have the Cybuster still working.

Same story also said the Raveraid (what that its name?) was also supposed to have been part of the team that came back to the surface in MD.

do people really come to the SRW series for crappy synth remixes of nana mizuki songs?

Honestly, the BGMs are something I consider to be nearly as important as the visuals in SRW.

Music is a key component in creating memorable moments in both life and entertainment and SRW thrives on having the player take command and carry out those moments. One can argue that that's assuming the player is familiar with the source material but, considering the niche nature of this, I'm comfortable assuming so.

Would you say the Axis Drop would feel exactly the same without Beyond the Time playing in the background? What about GGG doing Hell & Heaven without the theme? Hell, what about Basara without his songs?

The BGMs matter quite a bit, I think.
