Hibiki's seiyuu appears to be someone named Ryu Murakami. It's not pulling up any results though, so this is probably one of his first major roles, like Tomokazu Sugita as Bullet in alpha.

To be fair, SEED mode basically always looks like that. Just look at Lacus's seed-mode cut in.

What reason does the game give for all the SEED characters being somewhere else? Also Shin and Kamille are best bros after Z1.

Did anyone see that new pilot ability called Half Cut? It reduces incoming damage by 50% if the chance to hit was under 30%. I'm gonna give it to some characters with high dodge/low hp robots, maybe it will reduce their deaths by lucky shots. edit: I used the custom soundtrack feature to change the Maximum Break music to Bokura no Hisotensoku.

ImpAtom posted:The thing that is easy to miss about Maximum Break is that it breaks all barriers and defensive bonuses, which makes it absolutely hilarious against, say, a certain early-game shithead who uses a Lambda Driver. The best part is that the game straight up tells you to do that.

I would translate what Kaname said as like "you have to do the MAXIMUMEST BREAK EVER! DO YOU UNDERSTAND??" edit: also the conversation right before there was awkward as hell to listen to, when Kurtz got all happy imagining it. Goddamn, Kurtz.

I think the Gauron "Hey Maximum Break Him Idiot" tutorial is the best of them though because it really hammers in how loving useful they can be with their unique properties, whereas the early tutorials were mostly "I guess I can play fancy music when I blow up this unit".

I like that they finally added cut-ins for a lot of pilots since Z2. Not sure why CC gets a dynamic kill though! Those wacky Code Geass fans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWyROBa0sEY Celestial Being: The Movie sequence and most of stage 5. Oddly enough, the CB members in the movie actually are given proper names: Michael (movie Setsuna), Warren (their Lockon), Jennifer (Allelujah's replacement), and Orson (aka "Black Tieria").

So uh... now that the game is out, there's nothing wrong with the Vita version right? I mean, I've got a PS3, but I don't turn it on as much since the PS4 came out, but I still bring my Vita to work and stuff.

All reports say they're functionally identical with a little bit more load time on the Vita version due to heavy cartridge compression.

I'd rather have the Vita version because it's $10 cheaper and the game did some annoying cost-cutting in putting a portable game on a console, and I'd prefer to not pay more for a version that offers no actual advantages. EDIT: Derp. How's audio on Vita? Lostconfused mentioned voices seemed low earlier, I think.

Oh Snapple! posted:EDIT: Derp. How's audio on Vita? Lostconfused mentioned voices seemed low earlier, I think. Default volume on the vita version is too low. I bumped it up two notches in the menu, which I think brings it closer to the volume in Z2 games. I still think they sound a bit too compressed, but I can't be sure since I don't have PS3 version to directly compare with yet. Edit: By compressed I mean there is a bit of a hiss or distortion during some parts of the voice over in attack animations. Its hard to be sure, but to me the PSP games don't have that and sound better in comparison. Lostconfused fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Apr 13, 2014 |

The rarity of Hot Blood/Soul in this is pretty odd although Maximum Break makes up for a lot of it. Asuka doesn't get either, although she's admittedly Rebuild Asuka and not classic flavor.

Maximum Break at least requires a little bit of forethought to use instead of "press button, numbers go higher", which is a baby step in the right direction.

To be fair Z2-2 is a game where attacks do 17k damage without hot blood or soul. The numbers were way too high to begin with.

It feels like Hot Blood is one of those things in recent SRW where either very few pilots get it, or drat near all of them do. Personally I'm glad for the restraint, because I don't think I can take seeing Trowa Barton of all people carrying it around again.

It's such a massively powerful effect to literally double your damage output that most of the time they're forced to hand it out to everyone just so they can stay competitive. Ask poor Rei how not having hotblood worked out in Alpha 3. Giving it to very few people and having them be balanced around it is a much better approach because it helps create some meaningful differences between individual characters.

Endorph posted:Does Kallen still get both? It was redundant gameplay-wise but it was pitch perfect characterization through gameplay. I don't have her last spell yet so I'm not sure which she gets. So far I've got Kouji and Ryouma with Hot Blood and Shinn Asuka with Soul. (Which is 2.2 instead of 2.5 now.) She doesn't get both at least.

Not to mention the crazy powerful AT Fields once you upgraded the Eva's armor a bit. That basically meant I could bring Katz and a bunch of other not-otherwise-useful Gundam grunts along with me to the end game and use the hell out of their seishin as well.

Yeah, but the fact that she got multiple weapon upgrades(N2 Mine, Lance of Longinus) were completely wasted because she was utterly worthless as an attacking unit due to that lack.

I dunno, I had her leading a platoon of her own at one point, it was pretty badass. So, this time it's Akagi who gets Shinji out of his initial slump. But just in general, no anime changes more than Evangelion from being in SRW, with Shinji being surrounded by friends instead of enemies or the indifferent.
