Vandal Hearts (for all six people who have played it) :colbert:

It's a goodun yeah.

The best SRPG though are the 2 Pathway to Glory games. But they are on the N Gage so barely anyone played them. And then the devs took the core gameplay, dumbed it down, and made a PSP Warhammer 40k game out of it that wasn't remotely as good. (Though it's a fair game in its own right. Took out the RPG elements sadly.)

They aren't much about the story and more about futilely trying to keep your group of WW2 operatives from dying. Hint: it doesn't matter how experienced your characters are because a sub machine gun ripping off a clip at point blank range will still the gently caress out of them. Works the other way too however. Closer to X Com but you shoot Nazis and Imperial Japanese. And steal their vehicles and gun emplacements and drop mortars on buildings you think they are hiding in so the structure collapses on them and they die. Also lots of sneaking around because bullets don't care about hp so it's kind of necessary.

And it's got hot seat versus play modes.

Yet because LOL TACOPHONE LOL SIDETALKIN few people played it and it had like very little impact on Srpgs at all. :smith:

I've seen more people like Frontier over Delta, the latter seems to be considered very bland.

I liked Frontier but made it 5 episodes into Delta and decided I wasn't wasting any more time on it. But I didn't get much further in Iron Blooded Orphans and quit Q Reconguista around the 17 episode mark. I dunno if I'm finally growing up, anime isn't for me any more, or the internet has killed my attention span.

I thought it was more like Harmony Gold claims they do and nobody in Japan feels it's worth the money to take them to court to prove them wrong.

Harmony Gold's deal is with Tatsunoko. And is weird as gently caress. Like they basically did the same thing they hosed over FASA with the Battletech designs only on a larger scale and with a much bigger company subletting rights they apparently didn't have.

Also Zone of the Enders:Fist of Mars on the GBA is pretty much an SRW game already. With optional Easy mode combat resolution in the form of action sequences.

I almost always listen to podcasts when gaming so legit music isn't that big a concern for me. I could understand people wanting the legit music though. (I always turn subtitles on in games as well. So I can read whatever is being babbled on about.)

And in SRW's case only like a third of the music I am familiar with even as a robot dork anyhow so even the HEY ITS THING I REMEMBER deal only helps so much. poo poo, when some stuff has the back half theme change I get cranky because it ain't familiar anymore.

I suppose someone could put Battlestar Galactica music over Yamato and it would fit pretty well.

gently caress that even if it's a good choice. I'll probably just go with podcasts but if I do music it's gonna be GWAR, Bolt Thrower, Sabaton, and Austrian Death Machine. With the Wu Tang for Yamato stuffs. Dirt McGirt with the dirtiest Wave Motion Gun! Shame on a Gamelon who puts blame on a Gamelon.

Sabaton's Night Witches kicks rear end as does Bolt Thrower's World Eater. Austrian Death Machines Get to the Choppa works pretty much for any escape mission.

GWAR has DEATH POD which owns and also Sick of You for any recurring Jerid type who keeps coming back no matter how many times you kill him. Their Onion cover / tribute to the fallen would work pretty great for any heroic death stuff. Not sure where SADDAM A GOGO would fit in though.... Aren't the Full Metal Panic people in this?

Can we just take a moment to talk about how loving awesome everything Might Gaine is in this game? I wish we would see Brave series more often.

I'd be up for more of that mecha subgroup of shows. I'm not quite sure some of the more kid friendly ones would fit but I do love the non combined form of Gosaurer I think? The one that's original form is comprised of 3 kickass looking robot dinosaurs piloted by small kids that forms a kind of lovely super robot but hot drat do the individual dinosaurs rock.

Basically give us all the robots. Machine Robo, Transformers, Dougram.... ALL OF THEM GODDAMNIT. Maybe not all in one game mind you but.. If the show isn't creepy poo poo (or Banpresto can decreepy for the games) :getin: .

Course TakaraTomy and Bandai are probably too competitory to make it a common occurrence even if Kobo seems to make all the SRW Originals kits... Japan IP laws and crossover products are one heck of a weird situation...

Crossover with Hasbro IPs so Jem and the Wondercolts can also use magic song attacks. Except one of them is basically the Steve Miller Band emblem and thus it's the best one.

Also because I want the final boss to be Nightmare Tiacron. A mixture of DnD Tiamat, Nightmare Moon, and Unicron. Bonus points if Serpent OR is it's herald. With Raistlin Majere as his Head/Powermaster.

Basically I want a Hasbro IP crossover SRW type game. The current IDW comics are merely a logical half IPs version of it. But no Inhumanoids, Visionaries, MLP, DnD, Magic, and god knows what else Hasbro has bought up over the years that they probably don't even know they own.

I like her character so far but her outfit is god awful. I renamed her and all of course but that outfit is just FF 10 and 12 levels of stupid in all aspects. Fan servicey and ridiculous.

But I mean they have made lots of SRW kits. I even have the big rear end Alteisen which was like 500 goddamned parts or something. I've got it sitting next to THE HEADMASTER PARTY WAGON waiting for a dusting and fixing the head which has led crap in it to annoy me like it's some kind of 1/60 Wing Zero or something..

I can hope a cool black robot with tons of guns n missiles gets a kit can't i? Especially if this one sells well given now more than just one island nation with a low birthrate can actually read and play it effectively. (And why I bought a PS4. Bloodborne and Until Dawn were other must gets. Physical copies of PC games that would otherwise be digital only is another kickass bonus.)

V is incredibly easy even by SRW standards, especially if you upgrade your units. The ability to cast spirits during the enemy phase plus Foresee, which is an Alert that can be cast on allies, basically means that you need to be asleep at the wheel to ever actually lose a unit.

Well it's easy if you ignore SP requirements. I'm in 14-15 and one of the FMP dudes has died in both missions I've had him in. The AI targets him and 20-30% to hits and he still gets rocked.

Since SP reqs are basically PLAY STUPID rules. Units you would otherwise Evade or Defend with now you roll the dice just to make sure poo poo gets DONE or burn Spirit you normally wouldn't. Plus instead of getting into cover and forming defenses or like getting FMP dudes lined up for their Team Up attack or Support links everyone in your squads thinks they are a Khorne Berserker from Warhammer 40k and goes charging out like a maniac. I guess it's not as bad if you only use units you like and let everyone else stay on ship but after FF6(3) on the SNES I have an aversion to ever not letting people earn levels and upgrade their equipment.

And now you can't fail grind and still get the SPs like what was basically a requirement in AG so it ain't entirely babby's first SRW.
To be sure it's not XCom Terror From the Deep though. And V is friendly as gently caress. Need a team assist spirit? It lets you see who has what and cast it without switching dudes and menus. Fast speeding of animations? Compared to 3 and F this game is like WE HAVE FIXED EVERY ISSUE YOU HAVE WITH OUR GAME. (Except the having too many dudes bit. But that's more my personal issues I mentioned.)

I think my slow speed playing the game has had a benefit. I get the early 30s mission where I need to own Jerid and the Black Unicorn. GundamOfficial puts up first 5 episodes of Zeta in hd. I've yet to see Zeta because price and missing one of the cheaper but less liked movies. It was nigh perfect timing.

I'm enjoying the game but the SPs are sometimes a joy drain. I have to play stupid to get them which to be sure is anime but my strategy gamer mind (one who isn't a number cruncher type and can find leet sploits as the kids used to say) haaates not keeping units in cover or taking out enemies with focus fire or always getting big kills with Bless or Fortune or the higher grade versions.

That and too many drat characters. Like they could rip Seed and 00 out of the game and nothing would be lost. Cross Ange as well. Honestly half the Supers too but game wise not so much. (Daitarn and Zambot should always stick together for Max cheese.)

Like the story I can barely follow since I haven't seen most of them and in some cases only the show and not the movie. Or just a couple pages of manga.

It's a fun game and even the SPs are less puzzle than many Advance Wars maps seemed to be. And waaay less brutal than the Slitherine NOT PANZER GENERAL games. 40k Armageddon is downright evil. And all of those titles have multi mission death spirals to a degree that would make Sierra blush.

I think every SRW should have the option to have Simon the Digger from Gurren Lagann, Gai Shishio from GaoGaiGar, and Kamille Bidan from Zeta Gundam pilot the Ideon.

And you just immediately win the game. Nothing could possibly stand up to those three in one of the most stupidly overpowered robots ever. And their skills, talents, and mindsets would pretty much keep the Ideon from resetting reality. (If Kamille was replaced by Koji Kabuto from Mazinger it is iffy what would happen. You lose empathy and get a more heroic and badass type but emphasis on the rear end part. God? Devil? Homeslice is BOTH.)

Like nobody could beat them in that thing unless they did something like turn Haruhi Suzumia into knowing she is God (if she actually is and not the narrator), having her go full douchebag, and like posessing Unicron from Transformers or stealing the Gunbuster (Or having the entire SOS Brigade controlling the SDF Macross..) or something to match it.

(GaoGaiGar is the best because courage and bravery turn a 1 percent chance of victory to 100! No matter how much the other side cheats and hacks reality.)
