The English is good enough that it enhances the enjoyment of the game for me, someone who speaks zero Japanese. Yeah a super professional translation would be better but that was never going to happen for an Asian release of a game with this much text.

An Umasugi Wave original character called Moimoi I guess.

X Omega sure has turned into a dumping ground for all kinds of weird stuff. I heard Godzilla is going to be in it too.

It has Godzilla and a Mechagodzilla painted in Eva 01 colors.

It breaks my heart to hear that Granteed sucks in MD, he was literally invincible in J. Same with hearing about the weak secret list, now I remember why I don't like OG games nearly as much as the mainstream SRW.

The only games that have had good secrets recently are the 3DS ones. All the Z games after the first one had pretty anemic secret lists.

:ssh: OGMD has a secret character

Unless there is one I don't know about I'm not sure if a character you can use for only part of one stage counts as a real secret character in the way most people mean it.

The problem with the D mechs seems pretty fixable since they have a knock off Cytron system. The Fury should be able to help them somehow.

I'm legitimately a little bummed out when there's yet another game where Arado and Seolla, child prodigy super-soldier types, are pretty much forgettable and a chore to use. I like those two, why you gotta make me work so hard to make them feel good, game?

I never understood why they are such bad pilots. Is it supposed to be their punishment for having a combo attack?

I'm near the end of Moon Dwellers and I love that every stage seems to have Shu's bird asking him if he just wants to use Neo Granzon and kill everything himself.

The only way the Z characters should show up is just warping in from a crossgate post Z3.

The only real complaint I have about Moon Dwellers story wise is that the GameCube villains got unceremoniously genocided.

Z3 has some really cool ideas. I like the idea of your protagonists basically ACTUALLY ascending to godhood and fighting on an entirely new scale but the execution ended up being wanting and it is way, way, way too up its Original rear end and neglects the anime canon series way too loving hard.

The problem to me was that it seemed like they didn't have enough anime stories left to tell so they had to add way too many stages fighting the original enemies or just a combination of generic space monsters.

And the fact that we didn't get to see mechs for the rest of the zodiac is a travesty.

SEED and 0079 are actually really easy to use. They are just big wars. Macross is about a trip through space so it can be awkward to include large parts of its story unless you used other shows about space travel.

What a weird game. I'm excited for Great Mazinkaiser's cloak to turn into a giant sword blade.

I like the new original unit. It's got sort of a modern military look to it.

Also good to see my man Seabook back rocking the F91.

It only when you have multiple characters piloting the same grunt suits that that it really feels like a waste. If every extra pilot has something unique for them to use it's not that big of a deal. Like if they try to fit the stories of Zeta Gundam and ZZ in it will feel dumb because they'll either have multiples of suits or some pilots won't have anything for them to use.

The way they described which characters you can use reads like a weird translation.

The fact that the line in that first screenshot is easily recognizable as a known English phrase and not something like "If it's kill or was kill..." gives me hope.

Honestly, Aldnoah and IBO would be kind of hard to integrate because their roles are pretty much entirely reversed. In Aldnoah Mars is super advanced and powerful and Earth is treated as a massive underdog. In IBO, mars is a massive shithole that's only good for warm bodies and mining.

Just do what Z2 did with Japan and have two Mars. Problem solved.

I think of it as a Warriors game. Sometimes I want a game that's grindy as poo poo because I'm listening to a podcast or whatever but I want to do something with my hands.

I'd probably sit up and pay attention if they did a G Gen Origin that takes all the disparate OYW side stories and tried to directly interweave them into Amuro's story. Like, instead of going to Doan's Island they run across Master P. Layer.

Throughout the story Amuro would constantly make comments about how how the Gundam can't keep up with him anymore while making awkward glances at the increasing number of Gundams on the White Base that were originally supposed to be his upgrade.

I just started Z2 and immediately missed the first SR point because the AI didn't suicide on me like I thought it would. Am I going to miss the true ending or whatever if I don't get these? Or should I just not worry about them if this is my first time playing?

I'm pretty sure the story doesn't change in Z2 based on SR points. I think they just give you an option to fight a stronger version of the final boss if you want to.

Isn't there something in there about the Yamato 2199 plot being set a century after Char's Rebellion?

I wonder how that's supposed to work out.

I'm not sure if it is going to be an Alpha Gaiden or R type thing where they spend most of the time in the future and then go back in time and stop the bad future from happening or the early UC guys end up in some sort of stasis for 100 years. Looking at the series list none of them really stand out to me as having a time travel element though that hasn't stopped them from using that plot before. I guess they could use the end of Eva 2.0 as the explanation.
