TheLastRoboKy posted:Welcome aboard the ship full of jerks Renton. Whether or not people can get past this practically answers whether or not you'll like the show. The Gekkostate crew have already been talked about at lengths elsewhere, but I swear that my own whole motivation for watching the show was to see how Renton grows up in a world where almost everyone abuses him; the answer to that question is easily the highpoint of the series, but thankfully everything after that is still paced well enough to be...watchable? The sad part is that I don't even remember the crew of the Gekkostate actually doing anything useful at any point in the series. I DO remember thinking that its the only show I've watched where the antagonists are more interesting and tragic than the 'protagonists'...except Dewey Novak. I really, really hope this game fixes Dewey. ...and the Gekkostate crew, I guess.

Unified Route Chapter 13 Part 1 Last time on Super Robot Wars Z, we saw a kid join up with a paramillitary anti-government group because he had a crush on a girl. Setsuko got a little upgrade for her Virgola now too. Current Top Aces: 1. Setsuko - 22 Kills 2. Kamille - 19 Kills 3. Shinn - 18 Kills 4. Talia - 16 Kills 5. Quattro - 15 Kills Now that Setsuko has an ALL attack, she's going to start pulling ahead in kills for a while. Speaking of Setsuko, I figure now's a good time to talk about the less then pleasent stuff that happened. Denzel is dead, 100% dead. He's not coming back. The Virgola 3 has similarly been completely destroyed. Fortunately, the game isn't particularly harsh about losing Denzel. All the money I spent upgrading the Virgola 3 is refunded, not only that...  All the Pilot Points Denzel earned are given to Setsuko, with this she receives a head start in getting her skills set up. That's all for now, on to the stage!   In the Trinity City’s control room, we find Marchino talking to Prof. Kazami, asking the professor about the progress of the Trinity Energy research. Progress is slow, though, with only one prototype mech currently outfitted with the Charge System; Marchino doesn’t like to hear that, reminding Kazami that he and several others have invested a lot of money on his research. He has other business to handle, though, but adds that he’s starting to fear that all that investment was wasted; what he needs is to see some results, which should be possible if Kazami just let the Federation be the ones to handle the alien invaders. With that, Marchino leaves.  Julie isn’t very pleased with Marchino, saying that he shouldn’t think of their Trinity Energy research as mere business. Once they can fully control its power, it may alter the course of human history! Still, Kazami says that’s how Marchino sees things and they can’t really afford to get on his bad side. Heizaemon is also present and says that it’s clear that, despite the changes to the world, money is still as powerful as ever but the point remains that the Trinity Energy research owes its continuation to Marchino’s money.  Tsukikage apologizes to Kazami, wishing that Blue Fixer’s budget wasn’t so low that they could send some extra funds his way. Julie tells him not to worry, adding that their help as an international anti-alien invader group is greatly appreciated, especially their help in bringing their newest teammate over; Tsukikage says that wasn’t his handiwork – it’s all thanks to Sandman’s resources and the influence of a supporter inside the Federation Army that allowed them to keep their independence from the army. Rie is, at least, glad to see that there are people in the Federation Army capable of seeing the bigger picture and acting on it; as for Sandman, Quinstein says he has been incommunicado since he returned to his castle and the situation in Japan became what it is now… From what Quinstein's heard, he must be busy using his private channels to study how things are outside of Earth as, thanks to the Rivalry Zones, getting a grasp on the situation in Space has been difficult; however, Heizaemon has heard that alien attacks are still occurring, which points towards them having built some sort of forward base on our planet. Furthermore, in space we have the Plants, Colonies, the Moon Race and the Anaheim Electronics’ various structures but, despite all that opposition, more alien troops are arriving on Earth – their power is certainly terrifying.  Kazami reminds that there’s also the information brought by that young man from Io. Gengoroh has seen that information, detailing an enemy that attacked Io and, if that enemy decides to attack Earth next, the situation could get even worse; that’s why Tsukikage and the others cannot stand around doing nothing – why he wanted us to pool our resources together and figure out a way to stand up against the invaders. Quinstein has run the numbers and the regular army is ill-equipped to fight against this sort of enemy and, currently, we only have the King Beal, Zambot, Kuuraioh, Grand Divas, Kouji and Maria – take all that into consideration and we need to strengthen our power if we’re to keep up with the increasing attacks. Kazami asks if she means to upgrade the Cataranger and Baldiprize; yes, but it can’t be just a simple power-up: to fight the upcoming enemies, they’ll need something that surpasses the level of our current technology – something completely new.  Setsuko has also arrived in Trinity city and ran into Toshiya who recognizes her from before; she says she’s been searching for Toby and asks what happened since the Break the World. Mizuki says they arrived in this world together with the King Beal – the Vega and Gaizock troops were also warped together – and, eventually, they joined up with the Blue Fixer folks; Runa says they’ve been working together with them ever since and Setsuko understands: rather than be bound by some country’s agenda, they’re working with an international organization. Not all’s good, though, as Maria says both Duke Fleed and Hikaru haven’t been seen since the Dimensional Collapse and Setsuko’s saddened to hear this but Kouji tells them both to keep their chin up: he’s sure Daisuke wouldn’t be done in by something like that and Hikaru should be with him, so they’ll both be fine. Maria also wants to believe that and Kouji also adds that he’s sure Toby will be alright, too; Setsuko thanks him for his words but something seems strange to her: in the other world, the Earth Alliance immediately tried to arrest or use us, so why have they acknowledged their independence now? Kouji figures it’s because this world is made of so many different worlds that their existence isn’t a big deal anymore but Mizuki imagines there’s someone inside the Federation giving us a hand, too; either way, Kappei says that they’ve been fighting the aliens here and there over these past six months and, in exchange for that support, Keiko sends the data collected from our skirmishes to our friend inside the Federation – it seems they’re using it to refine their anti-alien tactical OS. Another thing that surprised Setsuko is to find that the Trinity City has been transported from Suruga Bay to the middle of the Pacific Ocean; Toshiya reminds her that it IS a floating city but, right now, it’s less of a “city” and more like our main base.  Another girl is here, asking who Setsuko is and Toshiya tells her. She introduces herself as Minako Marchino, Toshiya’s “sweetheart”, but he’s quick to tell her not to go introducing him like that; she thinks it’s ok because that’s what she’ll be very soon! Uchuuta still finds it hard to believe that she’s that guy’s daughter.  A man soon approaches, having been looking for Toshiya. It’s Kiraken, who says Kazami is calling him as the test will begin real soon; Toshiya thinks that, despite this being their first reunion in a long while, he’s still so busy but Kiraken’s fine with it. Besides, if Toshiya’s late, Julie will scold them both again (Toshiya does point that Julie’s just a bit intense but he’s a good fella); Kiraken then wonders if Setsuko’s another of Toshiya’s friends-in-arms and she, hesitantly, asks if he’s Raita from the Blue Fixer. Rather, he’s Kira Kensaku, Toshiya’s friend from Io; both of them were born there, in fact, as their families were part of the first wave of colonists to travel to Jupiter’s moon and Toshiya only came to Earth, prior to the Dimensional Collapse, to be Kuuraioh’s test pilot. Setsuko asks if he was warped to Earth during the collapse but, before he answers the question, he wants her to call him Kiraken instead of that “Mr. Kira” business; as for the question, he arrived here two months ago via legit travel and that surprises Setsuko as he would’ve had to go through the Rivalry Zones. He faced the danger head-on, though, as he had an important report to make: the Io colony had been attacked by unknown aliens and completely destroyed.  Details will have to wait, as the alarm sounds, indicating an UFO approaching. It might be an alien attack, so everyone prepares to deploy as Minako cheers everyone on (especially Toshiya, of course). Most of Rand’s talk with the people here is used to detail the events that occurred during Setsuko’s initial missions and to introduce new characters and their plot, which is why I skipped most of it. A few interesting tidbits that can be mentioned: Toshiya shows a lot of interest in the Gunleon, seeing how he was formerly a pilot of Io’s repair mechs and Rand likes anyone who appreciates his mech; Kappei is also impressed with it, wondering if Rand wouldn’t like to join their team as the Gunleon seems much more suited as a fighter than a repair mech – of course, Rand doesn’t care to destroy anything. Kouji also likes the Gunleon, quickly tagging it as a bona-fide Super Robot and Rand actually likes the denomination; as he does his THE HEAT introduction, he actually causes Leele to flinch a bit. He figures the pale girl has anemia or something but Mizuki yells at him to back off a bit as his stifling attitude is suffocating her. Toga is surprised after meeting Rand, though, as he thought all adult men were intellectual and calm people like Sandman, Kazami and Tsukikage but Rand has proven him wrong; of course, Eiji tells Rand not to get frustrated as he’s always this clueless. Finally, upon learning of the Zambot kids’ story and their alien origins, Rand can only contemplate what crazy times they live in for him to meet people like them; Kappei is actually surprised to see that he has no problem with their alien blood but, as Rand puts it: “Those who fuss over small details become small people”. Following that everything proceeds as normal, introducing Minako and Kiraken, and then the UFO approaches.+ Dr Pepper fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Jun 29, 2015 |

So there seems to be a running gag of people calling Rand stuffy, what's up with that? It's generally something I've heard used to describe uptight, upper class people, not a muscle dude in a tank top and jump suit who's a huge goofball most of the time.

I think I can maybe answer this. I'm reading stuffy, as someone whose presence is really suffocating. In that sense, it's sorta like someone who butts into the conversation, who's impossible to ignore and gets right in your face talking to you, and you go and say "woah, back off man you're in my personal bubble!". Or he smells funny. Sorry if that wasn't a good answer, I'm not very good with words.

I've been using stuffy as a synonym to what they're calling him: "sweltering" (暑苦しい). The running gag is that Rand is so passionate and gets so much in their face with that passion that he comes across as oppressive/suffocating.

Ardeem posted:Well, sweltering makes sense, he is THE HEAT after all. Truth be told, I wasn't familiar with the "sweltering" word when people first started calling Rand that, so I went with stuffy. I figured out what it meant, eventually, but I had already used stuffy and didn't care to change it as I thought it didn't affect the meaning on the phrase.

You're not a real man if you can't handle THE HEAT!  A real man would challenge THE HEAT with his own blazing soul!!  ...Although that would kinda suffocate everyone. Whoops. GodofDiscord fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Mar 18, 2014 |

 Chapter 13 - Rise, Space Warrior!  The UFO is approaching and Quinstein wonders what it could be as, whatever it is, didn’t descend from Space – it simply materialized inside their radar. Kazami wonders if it could be something that was jumped over by a small Space-Time Quake but we’ll find out real soon.  A flying machine enters the area and, while Rie tries to search in various databases for an ID, she doesn’t find anything corresponding to it and the pilot’s not answering our call. However, from the way the machine’s moving, Kazami quickly figures it seems to be on auto-pilot, so Tsukikage sends Oliver and Raita over to tow it into Trinity City; Quinstein isn’t able to confirm whether the pilot’s alive or not, so she tells them to be careful. Raita figures there’s no problem since it’s only one unit and Oliver says Toshiya and the others don’t need to deploy for this; as they approach, Raita confirms the thing really is adrift but, as soon as they start towing it, the alarm sounds and, this time, there are many objects incoming. Tsukikage quickly tells Oliver and Raita to return and they do, bringing the derelict unit along.  A bevy of alien units appear and Kiraken recognizes them as the same group that attacked Io. Julie is baffled that they easily broke through the Rivalry Zones when descending into Earth and, worst yet, they’re a completely new kind of enemy; Kazami realizes they’re here to attack but the rest of our team is already deploying.  Gengoroh tells everyone to be careful since these aliens were able to destroy an entire colony. Toga confirms and, like before, Eiji doesn’t understand why he gets to drat serious whenever he gets on the Gran Kaiser; either way, Mizuki tells the Gran Divas to follow Toga’s lead until Sandman gives the order to combine. Eiji tells Toga that they’ll let him lead the charge but he says he’s aware of their duties while telling Eiji not to worry so much. As for Kouji, he tells Maria that they need to fight extra-hard for Daisuke and Hikaru and she’s ready to protect her brother’s beloved planet with her own hands  Setsuko deploys right then and Kappei asks if they’re also going to fight. She couldn’t just stand still while her friends are fighting and Rand was pumped to fight after hearing their story; as for Toshiya, he’s either eager to fight by Setsuko’s side again or to see what the Gunleon can do. Kiraken tells him that these were the aliens that destroyed Io and Toshiya’s goal is now clear: he’ll defeat these guys and put the souls of his friends and his father to rest!  : Come on, aliens! Feel my wrath!! OK we're ready with the stage itself. We have to beat all the enemies, and with four turns to do it.  This mission isn't particularly complex. The most annoying part is that the Virgola does terribly in the water, so Setsuko's going to be confined on the corner of land. The rest of the units can fly so it's not a major problem for anyone else.  The King Beal and Zambot 3 move over this way.  Since this stage is so short, I'm going to try and get the Gravion ready to go as soon as possible.  Look at that crippled movement. You want Setsuko to be in the water as little as possible, it also kills her hit rate and evasion as well.   : Earth will never be able to find peace if we ignore these alien invaders!: I’ll also fight…! Not for anyone else, but for myself...and for everything I lost!   So is it just me or do these grunts look like MSG era Char recolors?  Toga can handle this one here.   : All Grand Divas: we’ll begin with the Gran Kaiser. : Roger that! We’ll let you decide the time to combine into God Gravion! : Still, I gotta give it to Sandman... Japan's blocked off but he still manages to give the order to combine. : Such is Master Sandman’s greatness.  : That’s enough idle chatter. Beginning the attack. : Yeesh, this guy... It's like he's a totally different person when he gets on the Gran Kaiser.   The extra 10 Will helps out in handling these guys. Not that they're that big a threat.  Next, Toshiya!  : I’ve no idea who the hell you are but if you killed the people of Io like Kiraken said… : Then, I’ll never forgive any of you bastards!!      Team Spazer (Missing Hikaru though) will target this guy.   : (Daisuke…no, Duke Fleed…a new group of Space Invaders has shown up…): (We’ll wait, Duke Fleed…for you to return to us…): (Until then, I’ll keep Maria safe…! So, hurry up and come back!)    Oh come on. I targeted it because it had a high hit rate. Why do I want to actually get it you may ask?  SECRET ALERT: The Double Spazer needs to get hit at least once on this stage. On the plus side Kouji learns Strike, and so comes the Enemy Phase.  Mission accomplished in this case. Yeah this isn't a very hard secret, though the second step is a bit tricky.  Blowing up that guy got Maria a level as well, giving her another level of ESP and getting her to learn Attune.  Toshiya dodging a 80% hit chances.   Setsuko blowing up this one triggers the next wave of enemies.  As the battle proceeds, a group of transparent UFOs appears out of nowhere and didn’t even show up on our radar’s until they were already here. Kazami and Quinstein realize that their sudden appearance is just the same as the derelict UFO we rescued just now, which would mean our “guest” is connected to these transparent UFOs.  There’s no time to discuss, though, as the UFOs start attacking Trinity City. Seems their reinforcements of the enemies we were fighting but Kouji thinks that’s not quite what’s going on as both groups look so different from each other; Kazami tells Rie to try opening a comm line to the new UFOs to try and determine what they want but they’re not answering back. Seems they’re not interested in talking, so Heizaemon says we’ve no choice but to defend ourselves – we have to protect Trinity City; Kappei, meanwhile, is very annoyed at bumping into two new alien forces during this awful day.  Incidentally, the new enemies are placed right next to where I moved Zambot 3 and the King Beal. Gee what luck!  Of course, they're considered a third side in this little fight, so the first wave of guys move up to get beaten.  These new guys are actually in squads, which is kind of a pain.   : Don't matter if we're dealing with the Gaizock or whatever! Anyone that attacks Earth's gonna have to deal with the amazing Kappei! : Think before you attack, Kappei! We still have no idea of what they're capable of! : She's right! You're not piloting the Zambot alone, you know!: Shaddup! I'm gonna make them pay!: Because of freaks like them, our town got wrecked and Aki, Michi, Kouzuki and others lost their homes and families!: Kappei…: And to make things worse, they now think we're the same as them just 'cause our ancestors are from Beal! : How can I not get angry at all this?! drat IT!!     However, they're also very weak.   : After the Gaizock destroyed our home planet, Beal, our ancestors fled to Earth…: And, fearing this very situation, they left behind the King Beal and Zambot 3! : To honor our ancestors, we, the Jin Family, will persevere and fight on. : Bah, what a troublesome heirloom…! : However, without this power, Earth would be overwhelmed by the invaders! Ichitaro, return fire! : Yes, father! King Beal, initiating attack!     This continues on until I get the Will to use the Ion Cannon.      In all honesty it was probably a waste of energy, they're weak enough to get oneshotted with other attacks but the squadmates can take ALL attacks due to being in Wide Formation.  On my turn I send Team Spazer, the only "squad" I have, to help out.     That's two more gone.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. Setsuko is using the Virgola Custom now, a modified Virgola 1. The main difference is that it can use the Virgola 3's Jack Carver attack.  Still, I think this hydra thing could use a taste of Ray Straight Turret.    Darn it. If she had crit it'd be down.  Oh well, I give Toga the kill.   Toshiya's a bit injured so I use Invincible for some padding before finishing off the last Blue Char   Rie soon detects another wave incoming and, this time, it seems to be of the first group of aliens: they’re led by Leets, who’s detecting the signal of Trinity Energy coming from this area. He notices that we’ve destroyed so much of his advanced party and figures Earthlings are, indeed, terrifying; Kouji figures that battleship is the commander and Toshiya notices that they’ve brought another one of those fiendish-looking mechs. Leets tags the Kuuraioh as the source of that Trinity Energy signal and sics his Jerogiras Cosmosaurus on him.  Toshiya is taken by surprise and isn’t able to run in time to avoid it. Kazami tells Toshiya to retreat back to the City but he’s unable to shake off the Cosmosaurus.  It’s then that Raita and Oliver deploy, telling him to leave it to them. They start attacking but Kouji yells that it’s crazy as their mechs were still being upgraded; even so, Oliver says they can still hold it at bay and Raita adds that, while they may not be strong enough, they are still Blue Fixer members and will fight with all they have. Toshiya says he owes them one and runs into Trinity City.  Kazami then turns to Julie and Kiraken, saying they also need to get ready. He says they have no choice but to do it – we’ll need the power of their science if we’re to turn this around – and both Julie and Kiraken are ready.  Inside Trinity City’s hangar…  : Julie, Kiraken! Those suits…! : Did you forget, Toshiya? Kuuraioh’s only the first robot!  : And, when all three robots are together, the true power of the Trinity Energy can be unleashed. : So you finished the Kaimeioh and Rikushin'oh?: Yup! The real fight begins right now!: Let’s go, Toshiya! We’ll give these aliens a show of what the Trinity Energy can do!: Yeah!  : UWAAARGH! : Afro bro! Crew-cut bro! : drat it! Toshiya got away just fine but now we’re the ones in trouble!:: Ichitaro! Shield those two with the King Beal! : Hold on, father! There’s movement in Trinity City!:: At last, it’s here…!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0FMqZ10RbM  : They did it! They really did it, Professor! : Success! Very well done, you three! : The Space Emperor?!: Oliver, Raita! We’re coming!   : Whoa! That's some awesome power you got there, God Sigma!: Naturally. Professor Kazami and I put our heart and soul into creating this Super Robot.: With it, the full force of the Trinity Energy can be manifested. : Julie and Prof. Kazami's dream is finally real! : Alright! Now that’s a reassuring reinforcement!: Oliver, Raita! You go and get some rest – we’ll take care of things from here! : Heh...sounds good. : We’ll take you on your offer! The rest is up to you, God Sigma!  Leets is getting a big Trinity Energy reading from it and he realizes that God Sigma is what they need to destroy. Julie quickly gives Toshiya the rundown on how God Sigma can use Trinity Charge to restore God Sigma’s energy once during combat; to Toshiya, that only mean he can go all-out during battle without any repercussions and Kiraken’s right behind him. Julie can only mumble, wondering if these two actually understand the value of something like Trinity Energy but Toshiya’s not listening: he’ll be using God Sigma to get revenge for Io!  All right! We have a new big Super Robot!  Space Emperor God Sigma Toshiya Dan - God Sigma Voiced by Kei Tomiyama(Original show), Tomokazu Seki(In this game) Julie Noguchi - God Sigma Subpilot Voiced by Yoshito Yasuhara Kira Kensaku - God Sigma Subpilot Voiced by Genda Tesshouo Skills: * Prevail(Level 2) - As the character takes damage, hit rate, evasion, defense, and critical rate will increase. * Blocking - If the mech is equipped with a shield and/or sword, can use Sword Block and Shield Block. Sword Block will neutralize melee and missile attacks, while Shield Block will reduce damage taken. Activation rate is based off the skill stat. * Will +(Damaged) - Pilot gains 2 Will every time they are hit by an attack. Spirit Commands(Toshiya): * Invincible(10) - The next attack that hits the caster will do 10 damage. * Strike(20) - The caster will have 100% Hit rate for that turn. Sprit Commands(Julie): * Scan(1) - Reveals an enemy squad's stats without having to fight them Spirit Commands(Kiraken) * Guts(35): The caster regains all HP. Squad Leader Bonus *+40% to Blocking activation rate. So here we are, God Sigma. It can best be compared to Zambot 3, they're both three pilot Super Robot. However, God Sigma is much more survivable. Toshiya's Squad Leader Bonus means it'll be Sword and Shield blocking a ton. And of course, God Sigma has the Trinity Charge trick. Once a stage it can fully restore it's EN bar, as such you can blast away early on with good EN draining attacks, while still having enough for the boss. Overall it's a strong, reliable unit that will come in handy simply due to being able to use its stronger attacks more freely.  But enough about that, Zambot needs to move down here to meet the reinforcements.        Cosmosaurus aren't really that hard hitting, though they have a fair amount of HP.  Toshiya gets to finish off this one     With that the second turn is over.  Yeah these guys fight to.   Basically a whole lot of them suicide on this Cosmosaur.  The enemies seem more interested in fighting each other then me. My EXP and Money.   At last a single enemy targets one of my units. Wonderful.      Of course, it fails to actually hurt Toshiya in any way. But it's the thought that counts.  Leets snipes at God Sigma out of its range.  : Here you are at last, Trinity Energy Robot! I'll be ending you here and now! : He's coming straight after the God Sigma...? : Doesn't matter! Time to get payback for everyone in Io!: Here we go, Julie, Kiraken! His ship doesn't have anything on the God Sigma's raw power!    Oh yeah, Toshiya still had that Invincible on him.  This is the last turn to take care of the basic enemies, next round I'll need to handle Leets.     Toga's really frail before being able to combine into the Gravion. It makes using him pretty hard.  A cast of Trust helps out a ton in that regard.-  Team Spazer moves to attack this Cosmosaur with King Beal assisting       Bam! From full HP to blown up.  Kappei, meanwhile, handles this one.       Wow, he's been on a roll with unlikely dodges.  Another Cosmosaur falls, to the King Beal this time.  Darn it Sandman, can't you be a little earlier?  Toshiya casts Invincible and gets ready to deliver the smack down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQliqFurEy0  On the enemy phase the little blue guy dies an ignoble death by attacking the Cosmosaur.  Which then gets its own ignoble death by attacking Kouji.   Spamming the Musoken is not a problem, I'll just Trinity Charge next turn.  As shown here. The Trinity Charge option appears here once God Sigma has spent any energy.  Selecting it instantly fills up God Sigma's energy meter, and it doesn't count as a turn so Toshiya can still attack!  Now to finish off the remaining Cosmosaur, which was foolish enough to get into Ion Cannon range.     That problem is solved.  Now it's time to bring on the Super Robot Pain. With Alert cast Gravion is in no danger.   : Do it, Toga! Take these mooks out with God Gravion!: You needn’t tell me. However, I will not fight emotionally like you.: Wh-what?!: He means that he calmly analyzes the enemy’s tricks and, then, he fights. : That makes sense.: Fine, fine…too much talking is bad... : Not quite, Eiji. Your words of encouragement did get through to Toga.: Then, Master Toga…if you would.: We’ll end this battle before the Graviton Limit is reached! Let’s go!    Toga; still hits like a truck.  Team Spazer does their part, Alert makes sure they aren't scratched, leaving Leets ready for Toshiya to smack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_nI97ZTHno  Once defeated, Leets confirms that the Earthlings’ power is as dangerous as expected. He quickly retreats to report his findings to Lord Teral, while Kiraken and Toshiya taunt that he and his buddies better give up on their attack on Earth; of course, Julie thinks that’d be too easy. Julie also figures this is only the first wave of the attack but it seems their target wasn’t, so to speak, Trinity City – rather, it seemed to be Trinity Energy itself.  Battle Mastery Acquired.  Regardless, victory is ours and Minako couldn’t be happier for Toshiya and the others. Tsukikage is also impressed and Kazami says that, whatever enemy may come, God Sigma and the Trinity Energy will not be defeated – that’s how confident he is in his creation; Tsukikage certainly admits that its power is very reliable. Rie comes over, saying that they intercepted a transmission from the fleeing battleships and, among those, they found the world “Eldar” repeated several times – perhaps the name of their organization or their planet, Quinstein thinks; the transparent UFOs were unmanned, though, so Rie couldn’t find anything useful from them. But, maybe, we can find something once we talk to the pilot of the derelict UFO as, according to what Oliver and Raita said, they found an unconscious man inside it. Kouji thinks about this new Eldar enemy we’ve found but Kiraken tells him to relax since, as long as they have God Sigma, they won’t lose; Toshiya thinks to his father, telling him the attackers from Io have set their sights on Earth. He promises him to defeat them and to keep Earth safe from whatever they throw at us, so he asks him to watch over us…  In a dream, we find Marin being faced with a hidden woman, asking who is she. Furthermore, he sees her staring at a lifeless ocean and he asks what she’s looking at…  Marin wakes up in the hospital, with Jamie telling Quinstein about it. Raita quickly gets in his face for being an ally of those transparent invaders and Oliver is quite surprised, as Marin looks exactly like any other Earthling; Marin seems surprised when he hears “Earth” and Quinstein says it’s our planet, asking if he’s not aware of that. He’s never heard of the planet, so she asks if he knows who he is or where he came from and that he does: he’s Marin Raygun, from the planet S-1; Oliver assumes the transparent UFOs were from there and, when he hears about them, Marin panics at the idea that the Aldebaron Army came to this planet as well. The fact that he knows them is all the proof Raita and Oliver need to accuse him of being one of the invaders and Raita says he’s a P.O.W. now and shouldn’t expect any mercy; Quinstein is particularly interested in his machine and, unless he answers her questions, he might not be released.  Aboard the Eldar command ship, Jeela is passing Leets’ report to Teral, stating he’s found both the Trinity Energy and the robot that uses it, however he was defeated by the Earthlings’ resistance. Teral is suitably impressed that we were able to defeat them, taking it as proof of how dangerous we are; when Jeela asks, Teral says he doesn’t want to send reinforcements, considering how many unknowns are in the area (the transparent UFOs, too). Instead, he wants to solidify their footing and figure out what to do with the prisoner they captured aboard "that" satellite; he orders his ship to head to the moon to rendezvous with the Gaizock - a force that could, potentially, prove even more dangerous than the Earthlings, Jeela thinks. Teral tells Jeela that if they're to have any future at all, they'll have to fight fire with fire, or poison with poison; he commands all the Eldar forces to join the flagship in the bid to either obtain or neutralize all Trinity Energy in the area.  Inwardly, Teral thinks to his “beloved Teral” (a different one), saying the terrified Lira died together with him on that day. Now he's a proud warrior, bequeathed of the pride of the motherland, and implores the other Teral to watch over him.  From San German Castle, Sandman congratulates Kazami on his success in completing God Sigma. Kazami thanks him in kind, saying it’s all thanks to his assistance; still, Sandman is also concerned with the news that two new groups of aliens have decided to invade Earth and he supposes that the Feds will leave cleaning up the mess to Blue Fixer. Regardless, Kazami is pushing their strategy to the next phase, with the King Beal going on the offensive, and Sandman approves; still, he regrets not being able to do much with Japan being, essentially, cut-off from the outside world. All he can do, for now, is to keep forwarding whatever useful data he finds on the aliens but Kazami appreciates the info he provides – we’ve got a good handle on the combat front; and, before he leaves, Sandman tells Kazami that he’s taken care of paying the God Sigma investment money back to Marchino. Kazami is blown away but Sandman confirms that he won’t need to worry about keeping the investors happy – Kazami is certainly happy to have someone like Sandman as an ally; he ends the call, wishing the professor good luck. Nearby, Tuile and Marinia are both impressed at how cool Sandman is for taking care of that huge debt out of admiration for Kazami’s enthusiasm; Tesera, however, says the things may be a little different from now on now…  The reason is something that has Raven a bit miffed but Sandman is well aware that the castle’s finances are, essentially, ruined after all that. It seems Marchino demanded twice the return of investment to keep quiet about the research and, to top it off, there’s the promised financial aid to “The Storm”; regardless, Sandman doesn’t like loans between friends – all he wanted was to see God Sigma gracefully run through space. Raven can’t really say anything against this and Tuile now understands what Tesera meant; she wonders if they’ll be eating rice on top of rice now that they’re broke… Marinia does say that it's not like there's much in Japan for them to buy, anyway; still, the girls have to wonder what Sandman will do now that they’re completely alone inside Japan and with no means of contact…  Setsuko’s going to be taking her leave, though; she understands that this battle needs to be fought but she needs to look for Toby and Kouji understands that that should be her first priority. Eiji understands the feeling, having been searching for his sister all this time; Maria would like to ask her to keep an eye out for her brother or Hikaru, though, and, should she meet them, to say that they’re all fine and want to hear from them. As for Rand, he self-proclaims himself to be a drifter, never staying in one place for too long; this disappoints Toshiya, who had hoped to invite someone of his skills to join the King Beal team. Rand, however, is a repairman through and through – fighting isn’t his preferred life-style; Kappei thinks he’s lying, considering the gusto he showed during battle but Rand says that he just got too much into the mood of battle – he is THE HEAT, after all. Julie figures that’s not the whole thing but they don’t press the subject, instead asking if he’ll be looking for that Mel he mentioned earlier and he is; sadly, he didn’t find any clues in here and he does apologize but, unlike them who fight for the world, he’ll fight for that one girl. Maria makes the same request of him (not a farewell kiss, as Rand hoped) and also promises to tell him if they find Mel.  All this talk about mission people has gotten Julie thinking and Minako asks what’s up. Julie doesn’t think she’d understand if he told her, though, and thinks to his sister, Jane, hoping she’s safe in whatever world she’s in. Regardless, Kappei tells Setsuko that the King Beal can give her a ride to wherever she wants to go; the Gran Knights have been told to leave Trinity City and expand their activities to the rest of the world, so they’ll also be going. Runa is a bit worried if they’ll do this on their own if Heizaemon’s not OK with it but Eiji figures the old man also cares about doing justice, so it should be fine; plus, Kappei says Setsuko’s an old friend so he should have no problems taking her aboard. Setsuko figures she’ll be going to North America and, with that decided, King Beal will be departing immediately – the new fight of this team is also beginning.  : (Chief…until now, I was angry at being warped to such a strange world…): (But, I’m glad I got to know and fight beside people like them…): (Which is why I’ll find 1st Lt. Toby…I’ll find my comrade for sure.): (And, no matter where I am, I will carry out Glory Star’s mission…)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  : (Boss…am I getting old…? The kindness of these people seems to mean more and more to me…): (I hope that, someday, Mel can smile from the bottom of her heart like them…): (Maybe that’s what I really have to repair…) Thought we were done? Nope!   At the Bazaar, Maria is calling out to Kouji as the King Beal will be departing shortly. He, however, tells her to hold on as he was to stop by the Junkmen for a sec; it seems these people scour through big battle sites and look for any parts and debris that are interesting enough to be sold. Maria sees that Kouji seems to be very interested in tinkering with machines and whatnot but, of course, he’s the third generation of a line of big scientists and, before this mess started, he was busy studying at the space academy. Kappei calls him over, saying the Junkmen have found something.  : We’ve a Fragment of SuperAlloy New-Z for sale today! : It’s yours for only 10 Blue Stones. What do ya say? SECRET ALERT: If you managed to get the Double Spazer hit, once the stage is over select the Bazaar option and buy the Fragment of SuperAlloy New-Z before heading to the next stage. Julie recognizes the excavated part as a piece of Kouji’s own Double Spazer, which broke off from the battle damage. Toshiya asks what he’ll do with it, seeing how the repairs to his Spazer are already close to being finished; Julie also recognizes the part as being made of SuperAlloy New-Z which would mean it could be sold at quite the profit. Kiraken thinks Julie’s way too greedy, judging so many things by just their value but he’d rather be called a realist: despite the “Break the World”, the way our society revolves around money has changed. Regardless, Eiji asks what he’ll use that part for and, while it can’t be used as an armor plate, Kouji can still use it as a component for something else; he tells them to wait as Kabuto Kouji, scientist extraordinaire, will show them his true skills! ------------------------ Extra Dialogue Rand vs Any Enemy  : I was pretty surprised when I found out that there were people living out in Space and on the Moon, but these things are from a planet even farther away… : I appreciate you coming all the way out here but I can’t stand people who visit someone’s home and make a mess out of the place! : It's been a long time since I could get pissed without holding anything back, so you're gonna get a small taste of the old me! You better be ready!!

We're just alternating the main characters so both of them get their share of screentime - I've pointed out differences between their dialogue, mind, but this one hasn't much going on for Rand as it focuses mostly on setting the plot for all series that Setsuko already met.

Seeing Marin's arrival made me fanboy just a little bit because of his series' insinuation of how he (and the Aldebaron Army) got past the Rivalry Zones, but I'm now curious as to how the Eldar managed to do the same thing.

I never saw more than the first Episode of Gravion, but the answer to Toga's change in mindset seems obvious. "I'm in a giant robot now!   "You just don't notice with most pilots, because they are constantly THE HEAT like Rand or something even in their offtime.

There's a plot reason for his personality change, but Toga's not so much as he goes from "cheery, naive, soft-spoken boy" to "commanding, serious, tactical, brutal professional" when he gets into the Gran Kaiser. Kind of like Dangaioh.

Godsigma is a fantastic tank, but his Trinity Charge makes him an excellent attacker as well. Upgrade that Energy and you'll spend entire stages spamming the best attacks you've got.  It is one of those classic super robots I didn't care much for early on but won me over through a combination of high performance and not being as cliched as it might seem at first glance.Everyone gets through the Rivalry Zones pretty easily even if they're supposed to be an important plot point so I'm feeling less weird about having completely forgotten they ever existed.

It's interesting that you can knock poo poo off the enemies and have it show up in the bazaar. Is that just for secret unlocks or does it happen with most enemies?

Bazaar scenes are only related to secrets and that fragment came from Kouji's Spazer (only if he took damage, too); unfortunately, we can never chip away an enemy's tech and buy it as junk. It'd be pretty interesting to do so, though!

OE is the definition of wasted potential. Isn't there a SRW where you can beat up enemies and take their units? I seem to remember reading something about one, though I can't really say which. I know it wasn't any of the ones I played (the OG and Z series, W, OE), and it probably wasn't as good as Z (because what is, really?), but it sounds like an interesting mechanic.

GC/XO let you capture enemy units and then keep them (if they were ones you can use) or trade them in for items and cash. Wearing units down to capture was a pain, and most of the usable units were UC Gundam grunts and MAs that were almost all worse than just using the units you were given, unfortunately, but it was an interesting idea.

You can capture enemies in GC/XO, but it's kind of lame because most of the units you can capture are Super Robot enemies which can't be piloted. On the plus side, though, you can totally nab yourself a Kaempfer and put Michel in it.

Mostly notably, enemies had several health bars (Legs, Arms, Body, Head) and to capture the unit you had to take out everything but the Body. What was actually kind of cool about this was that if you were 2? sizes larger than the opponent, you couldn't target individual parts (you hit all parts simultaneously for the same amount of HP), and if you were the same number of sizes smaller than the opponent you could only target individual parts.

Weapons were also tied to individual parts so it was theoretically possible to focus down an enemy's arms/legs/whatever to disable their deadliest weapons. In practice it was far more effective to just kill them.

We’ve got access to the posse from the previous mission to upgrade but I’ll leave the more Setsuko-focused series’ to Doc; let’s jump straight into the plot! Location: North Ameria – The Community of Fort Severn  We find ourselves at the Freeden, still intact, with the young Carris asking the landship’s captain, Jamil, about the Moon Race’s movements. He says Witz and Roybea are investigating the matter right now and, speak of the devil, we’ve just received an incoming message from them. It seems they’ve located the Diana Counter’s main camp, around 40 kilometers west of the city and Jamil tells them to come back.  Sara asks if he thinks the Moon Race will try to take Fort Severn by force and, while Jamil knows that Diana is trying to pursue peaceful negotiations with Earth, he knows that the current New Federation policies are forcing the hand of her troops.  Tonya realizes that the Diana Counter wants to avoid an open a conflict with the New Federation, so they’re going after an autonomous region like Fort Severn – quite the rotten thing to do, she thinks. Because of that autonomy, we cannot expect any help from the Feds, which mean the defense of the city will fall entirely on us but Carris is willing to fight anyone that comes to preserve their freedom. A far cry from his cold attitude from when they fought in the past, Tonya thinks. If he’s changed, it’s because of the Freeden’s crew, Garrod and Tifa included. He remembers that, as an Artificial Newtype, he had lost his heart and had been reduced to a tool for other people’s plans and Garrod and the others risked their lives to help him.  Shingo, however, reminds them that Garrod has been missing since before the “Break the World” and, during his absence, the Frost Brothers defeated the Freeden and took Tifa. Still, Tonya thinks it won’t be the same today as Witz and Roybea’s Gundams have been upgraded. Jamil accedes that they don’t have Garrod’s help anymore but they still intend on helping Fort Severn as much as possible. Carris is thankful since, while he did call for added troops, he’ll need to rely on them to face this situation. Jamil was also hoping to make contact with the Moon Race, based on a premonition Tifa told him long before the Breaking of the World: "One day, the Queen of the Moon and I shall touch the truth together, and the butterfly shall fly towards the future." The Queen would be Diana Sorei but the rest is an enigma. Still, Jamil certainly wouldn’t have expected things to turn out like this. Sara wonders if we might find Tifa with Diana and, if so, they might be able to get her back. However, Jamil thinks it’s more likely that Tifa’s in the hands of the New Federation as the Frost Brothers were UNE agents and Sara has to wonder what they plan on doing that they would need Newtypes. Carris, inwardly, asks Garrod where he is as they really need his strength…  Elsewhere, aboard the Soreil, we find Of course, she never gave such orders as she hoped to negotiate with the town’s government and Phil claims it was an on-scene judgment call and apologizes for disobeying her command. Milan thinks it’s only natural that they’ll get angry at this but he thinks it’ll help in the negotiations. Of course, Diana thinks this blatant display of power by the Counter forces will only provoke an unfavorable reaction and, while Milan understands her reasoning, he says that the New Federation sees the Moon Race as any other hostile nation - a result of the contempt felt by the humans that hold the positions of power in th Federation. Coordinators, Spacenoids, Space Revolutionary Army, Moon Race – it makes no difference to the Feds. The nuances behind the Moon Race's return to Earth are impossible to convey with the dialogue in its current state, and with the Feds in firm control of the Sun Belt, the Moon Race has no choice but to look elsewhere. Diana doesn't like "looking" the same way the Federation does, though, but Phil says there’s no other way and Milan agrees: as the negotiations drag along slowly, they’re losing soldiers and resources. If things continue like this, they'll have to mobilize Ghingnham's forces on the moon. Phil says the soldiers of the Diana Counter believed in this homecoming and begs her to allow them to seize the “Promised Land” with their own hands.  Still, Diana doesn’t budge and intends to pursue dialogue to the end. She says anything won by force is destined to be lost to greater force, and she will not see her people mired in a world of endless conflict. Furthermore if the negotiations fail to produce results, she’s ready to consider returning to the moon. Milan gives up and tells Phil to call the troops back and he confirms but, inwardly, Phil fumes that he'll be damned if he pulls back after the trouble it took to secure that garrison. Also, Milan thinks that, if Diana insists in following this unrealistic idealism, he and Phil will need to think things over…  Diana then calls Harry over and asks about the whereabouts of the Inglessa Militia. Sadly, both the militia and Gwen have been missing since the “Break the World” and, so far, Harry hasn’t found anything. It seems that, after opposing the United Nations Earth, the New Federation stepped in and simply took Inglessa. Harry figures Gwen’s a very skilled man and, for that, was branded an outlaw by the government. Diana sighs at the beautiful nation of Inglessa being annexed by the Federation but, either way, she’d like Harry to continue his search. Diana says she’d like to thank those who defended the Promised Land and Harry promises to dedicate all his energy into fulfilling this task. Inwardly, Kihel thinks to the real Diana that it’s been months since they did this little “game” and switched places. She's managed to learn enough from the Soreil's libraries to keep up the ruse, but knows that the truth will come to light sooner or later. She can only pray that Diana returns safe and sound before that day arrives... Meanwhile, Harry is observing her quietly. Location: Diana Counter Camp  Poe is rallying the troops, having just received from Phil the go-ahead to invade Fort Severn. The troops are raring to go and turn this into their new “Promised Land”. Poe warns that the town will have its troops defending it but says their pride cannot falter – the attack begins in three hours.  Nearby we find Corin Nander, who will be leading the local conscripts. Corin complains that it sounds troublesome and Poe, inwardly, remembers being told that he was only recently released from cryogenic imprisonment and sent to Earth. She also heard that he’s dangerous so he should be more than competent enough to fight the Earthlings. In any case, Corin wants to see his underlings and they’re right nearby…  The first one would be Rand and Corin immediately sees that he’s no ordinary man – Rand notices the same thing about Corin. No sooner does Rand strike his THE HEAT pose, Poe flinches and wonders what’s with this waft of hot air she felt. Setsuko politely introduces herself and, regardless of route, Enil shows up as the second recruit. In Rand’s path, Corin wonders the coincidence of having both a brute and a cute girl in the team and, in Setsuko’s path, he thinks Earth isn’t bad at all, if he’s got two babes to accompany him. Regardless, Poe says his unit will be acting on their own, so they’ll leave the tactics to his discretion and Corin already can’t wait. Poe does make it a point for him to remember he’s part of the Diana Counter army and to act accordingly. She leaves on Setsuko’s path but, of course, she remembers Rand from the attack in Nocis. She says she’ll ignore his participation in that battle BUT, if he’s planning any tricks, she won’t hesitate to shoot him in the back. With that, she wishes them good luck and leaves.  When he asks, Corin tells Rand that their job is simple: squash anything that comes near and, looking at Rand, he figures that’s right up his alley. Rand won’t deny it but Corin makes it a point to remind him that, should “it” come out, he’s to keep away – that’s Corin’s prey. That’d be a Gundam and Rand wonders what could his beef be with those. As Corin leaves, Rand asks Enil to hold up as he remembers her going after Garrod in Inglessa and, while she tries to deny it, Rand remembers her voice well. She glares at him but Rand tells her to relax as he doesn’t intend to bother her right now. He figures he shouldn’t meddle in the business between a man and woman, which makes Enil say that he’s a good man but, sadly, Rand says she’s not his type. She asks if he’s together with Garrod and he tells how they all got separated with the Break the World. She asks why he’s doing mercenary work and he says he needed the cash to continue his travels. Enil finds it a curious reason to join the Moon Race but that’s not all – he’s also hoping to take a look at their intel to, hopefully, find someone. When Enil asks, to keep things simple, he says it’s his fiancée…more or less. That doesn’t explain much but Rand also asks what she’s doing here and if there isn’t something that she could be doing. Enil shrugs, saying she just seems to get along with stuff like this but, if that’s the case, why not work for Fort Severn? There are a few things that happened there before and, as such, she can’t really show her face around. Rand apologizes if he opened an old wound but she doesn’t blame him – it WAS her fault that it all happened like that. Either way, Rand tells her to live through this and she might just meet Garrod again. She says the same and he answers with a HEATED “Yup!” which, of course, causes Enil to think how stifling his attitude is. Setsuko’s situation is the same and, when Enil asks, she says she’s not looking for her boyfriend but for someone very important. Enil relates to that, of feeling something different from “love” and more like the need of just being with someone. As for why she’s doing this job, Enil says she’s just trying to survive and, as before, Fort Severn is a no-no. Either way, for Setsuko to continue her search for Toby, she’ll need to survive this and both girls exchange wishes of good luck. Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Jul 10, 2016 |

I'm surprised at how far into the plot of Gundam X this game starts off at. From what knowledge I have of the other series in this game, it seems like most of the other series start off towards the beginning while X starts off a good ways into the plot. Hell, if it weren't for little details like "gameplay balance," Garrod would have gotten the Double X by now. But I get the feeling that it's going to be much more complicated to get that beast in this game.
