So Godannar has a character who looks like he stepped out of a Go Nagai series, and his name is Kouji Tetsuya?

That sure was a fuckload of Gaiking characters at the start. I'm sure I'll get a handle on it all as we get further in, but this is very much the old SRW early game "WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE  " phase.

If nothing else, he delivered a much needed beatdown to Kouichi. I'd give him a pass long enough to prove himself one way or another.

This Reiji guy has a very similar first impression to Clouseau in SRW W, where he rolls in, saves the day, knocks certain characters down a few pegs and orders them to shape up. Like Clouseau I fully expect him to lighten up in some way, be revealed to be nicer than he seems, and otherwise get dragged down to the rest of the cast's level by wacky antics, though I could be totally off base as I know literally nothing about Linebarrel. Of course, the big difference is that Clouseau was only meant to be the new leader of Uruz Squad, not the entirety of Warter, and Reiji is introduced as the leader of the entirety of LOTUS. It's kind of weird idea based on my limited knowledge of SRW, but I don't remember another situation where the entire squad gets a hardass leader forced upon them. By and large the characters in these games are allowed to do what they want.

So Reiji's mech reminds me of Thanatos from Persona 3, with the weird coffins that encircle him and all that, which is neat. The 40% bonus that he and Iczer join with make me nervous that they're going to get taken out and be unavailable for a while because there's no way the game would be this generous this early, but they don't seem so good that losing them would be the tremendous blow that, say, losing Sanger in early OG1 was. So I dunno  .

You know, they probably could have done more to differentiate Luna and Meyrin's pictures in the game, but too small profile pics seems to be a consistent problem with handheld SRW games. It's way easier to keep things straight in something like Z or the MX with their full head and shoulders profiles than here.

Onmi posted:I like to think this puts to rest the thoughts that Reiji's just a hardass thinking that everyone's poo poo. You can see here that he has a very good reason for wanting Ichitaka to leave and get to safety, but if Ichitaka shows his determination to stay, then Reiji will back down and let him, rather than try to force him to do otherwise or scream about insubordination. It's kind of a problem with SRW format that Reiji whipping the squad into shape has no real tangible effects for the player. In different game, you could have the Support Attack and Support Defend skills be locked until Reiji shows up and starts drilling the characters on teamwork, or hold off on the pair mechanic. I could see SRW diehards getting pissed off at something like that, but I feel that this is early enough in the game that you wouldn't really miss having those mechanics withheld until this point.

Djibril is kind of a lovely villain from a writing standpoint. The type of villain where it's not satisfying when they finally get their comeuppance, it's just a relief that they won't get anymore screentime. Kouichi sure is taking his sweet time in joining, hopefully Emi calling him out so hard has an actual impact.

Sordas Volantyr posted:I dunno why you guys are so surprised about Kouichi taking his sweet time in joining the party; the most obviously busted unit playing hard-to-get is a time honored SRW tradition. It's been mentioned that L is shorter than other SRW's and Linebarrel has gotten quite a bit of plot focus since we started. Kouichi has appeared three times as an opponent despite being the main character of his series, and we're still waiting on Evangelion to actually get its rear end in gear and get started. I'm just hoping they don't drag this out at the expense of everything else.

Montegoraon posted:This may be an unfair comparison, but aren't the OG plot and characters in this game just extremely dull? I mean, when compared to W, Z, A, J, the entire Alpha series, Masou Kishin...... First time I've ever seen J get compared positively to something. The predecessor to L was K right? If there's only two things anyone knows about K, then it's the plagiarism with the music, and how it's protagonist was a MASSIVE prick. Backing off a bit on having a confrontational protag is the safe move after that, but it could also arguably make them more boring. That being said I'm taking a wait-and-see approach since if anything interesting is done with Ichitaka, it's probably gonna involve Kouichi and Shinji, who haven't joined the team yet.

I'm guessing that the Linebarrels manga was still ongoing while the anime was being made yeah? I know a lot of anime adaptations are made to run for one season and have a satisfying conclusion and in those cases they wind up having to make their own endings too, like the original FMA anime. So I'd guess Soubi's story didn't fit into the ending they had in mind. But given how people are talking it seems like the anime changed a lot more than just Soubi and the ending, so I dunno.

Between Kenji being obsessed with titties, Kouichi walking in on Emi, all of the butt jokes in Godannar, and the sheer volume of skintight pilot suits for the girls in various series some of which even have boob windows... This sure is a sexed up SRW game huh?

Good thing Mikhail was able to overcome his issues in a single battle, and Alto was able to put aside all of his resentment so easily. Wouldn't want to focus on compelling human drama when we can have Mishima, Brera, and the G-Man being mysterious.

Brunom1 posted:To be fair, the game is pretty much sticking with how it happened in the series. One episode ends with Michel screwing up, and, by the end of the next, they sort it out. Yeah I figured, according to Akurasu this is Frontier's SRW debut, and there's that unofficial rule that debuting series need to be played straight without a lot of cross-series pollination. That'd probably be why this stage feels like an episode of Macross where occasionally there's also the Voltes.

According to Akurasu it's 55 scenarios, counting the two prologues and all the route splits. I have this idea stuck in my head that Ichitaka is really short, but I have no idea where I got it from beyond that he's in middle school.

Blaze Dragon posted:There's probably official information on the characters' heights but I don't know where to get it from (likely Japanese sites). As it is, I've always imagined Ichitaka as taller than pre-timeskip Kazuma but shorter than the rest of the SRW protagonists Brunom has used (with Rand as the tallest). Of course, that's just how I picture it, I have no way to actually check that out. I want to say that there's no way Kazuma grew that much during a six month timeskip, but then again Ruri aged three years in that time frame so

It might be weird to shift gears after 3 LPs (plus change), but I actually liked how the last mission was split. Missions are pretty long in this game, and a lot of times I'll be reading an intro to a mission and wanting to comment on a particular line or scene, only to forget about it by the time I get to the end. And even if you don't want to do that, then this post is still one more towards a new page

So is Anna the main character of Godannar? Because a harem anime from the perspective of one of the girls sounds kind of neat in concept. Also gotta love how Lou doesn't seem to have any problems working with a guy who almost murders her friends for literally no reason.

On the one hand, Reiji's defection has some of the hallmarks of a fake defection, what with the constantly lecturing the younger pilots on things that he's taught them before, blatantly holding back, playing up the rear end in a top hat role in order to get them to hate him. On the other hand, shooting Ishigami seems like a real "no backsies" move, unless Ishigami is in on it too which I'm not sure is the case. Ishigami doesn't seem particularly perturbed when he's shot, but he also doesn't seem to see it coming either.
