Samurai Sanders posted:Also, I was wondering, in all of robot anime, is there anyone other than Amuro who becomes an actual adult over the course of a series? I mean, both his appearance and personality changing completely and becoming all calm and settled down. Also, Setsuna is something like 23 during the 00 movie.

Dj Meow Mix posted:Did they add more Queadluun-Rea animations, or keep armor Klan from Z-2? Part of me wants to do an all angry girl gimmick run since there's enough candidates in this version. I ask mainly because the new YF-29 animations are slick as hell. Wow, you weren't kidding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ5YTmlbWBo - is that a secret unit this time around or just an upgrade? Speaking of, is there any talk of secret units/characters? All I've heard is that so far it seems pretty lean.

Kanos posted:It's actually pretty amazing how lame Amata/Mikono are, because the series has some pretty impressive stuff in the supporting cast relationships. Andy coming to terms with loving someone for who they are in spite of anime's tendency to play off male/male relationships for laughs or Yunoha coming to terms with Jin's death are both really good. Yeah she's a terrible character. Honestly Amata was pretty lousy in the series too but I do appreciate that SRW has him just constantly yelling in all his attacks. Samurai Sanders posted:I don't even know if she's worth hating, since she's just...it's like she's not even there. Also yeah you are in for some probably pretty funny surprises if you don't know the EVOL plot. Rascyc fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Apr 14, 2014 |

Did Z3 change EVOL's plot at all? Considering how Z1 used Aquarion, it'd be really awkward if it didn't.

BlitzBlast posted:Did Z3 change EVOL's plot at all? Considering how Z1 used Aquarion, it'd be really awkward if it didn't. From what I can tell: The plot of Z1 Aquarion and its relation to EVOL is quickly shoved into a corner by way of Time Prisons and no one remembering Z1 Aquarion anyway. As for changing EVOL's plot: Kagura and Zessica get more interaction so their hookup at the end doesn't appear to come totally out of left field. Jin survives and is not stuffed into a frog. That's about it.

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess you can add me to the list of people who have no idea what they were trying to do with her, other than make a vastly more boring version of Kaname. What's with her name? I looked at her encyclopedia entry hoping to learn but it didn't have a hint. EVOL spoilers ahead. MIX hates men because of issues stemming from her father basically abandoning their family. Andy is initially attracted to her due to her having enormous anime breasts. She initially rejects him due to her issues, but through a surprisingly decent series of interactions for two side characters in an anime they grow close. MIX gets kidnapped by the bad dudes and taken to their planet, so the Aquarion dudes mount a rescue mission and find out that she's lost her memories and due to whatever the gently caress is wrong with Bad Guy Planet she's also turned into a guy. When Andy finds this out he has a brief moment of Gay Panic about "Oh god if she's a guy now and I'm still crushing what does that make me" before coming to terms with this and deciding that he loves MIX for who they are regardless of their gender. The two of them even combine and help Amata for the final battle with MIX still as a guy. The post-series "one month later" shot shows her having changed back into her female body over time, but it's really rather touching that they would have him decide "I'm going to love you for who you are" rather than "I'm going to find a way to restore your titties so I can go back to loving you". As for her name, Blame Anime. Eternal Volfogg posted:Is the general premise of this games story that all the returning characters lost their memories of the last games? Looks like it, except Kei from Orguss. When people see something that reminds them of the way the world used to be they seem to get headaches.

Unless they toned down Zessica's big crush on Amata that's still totally awful. "I love this person for who he is" does not lead to "I love this person who looks my crush but is explicitly his opposite in every way" in anything but a lovely wrap-up. I'm going to guess nobody cared about making EVOL work, which I can respect because man. EVOL.  Samurai Sanders posted:What's with her name? The joke is chromosomes.

To expand on this: When Kei first runs into the group, everyone at first comments that the Orguss looks familiar before they remember him. Kei, meanwhile, looks at the Aquarion from EVOL and is about to greet Apollo when he gets a headache. After that headache passes he doesn't recognize the Aquarion anymore. Several people, like Char, appear to realize that there is something deeply wrong with the world as is, even if they don't remember specifics.

Samurai Sanders posted:Man, a lot of pointless moeblobs (I think I am using that term right) have come and gone through SRW, but the female lead from Aquarion Evol seems to take the cake. She just looks completely hopeless as far as ever turning into anything at all. Hikaru from Macross sort of has this arc in my opinion. He starts off as a stunt pilot obsessed with a highschool girl, ends up losing lots of people and being in command and eventually sort of settling down with a far more reasonable woman. I'm not sure what his actual physical ages are supposed to be, but it is effectively the same sort of plot in my mind.

Speaking of Kei, I loving love this guy to death, but did they need to add that girl and her shrill voice to the mix to almost every single attack ahhhhhhhh The ultimate kicker was doing his ALL attack and she's in the cut-in for the dynamic kill so I know she's never going away.

The CCA attack plays out in a very specific way. A way involving the explanation for when the Gundam SEED Destiny cast went and an attempt to create the Axis Shock artificially in order to break the ZONE singularity.

This is as good as you'll get for now; it offers a slight summary but it is a bit lacking in detail (though that might change over time). I'm hoping someone will do a more detailed guide eventually (I would give it a try but I'm not insane enough to do it while I'm already working on Z1).

So am I correct that the DLC missions are accessible from the intermission menu? I found a menu that seems to list what DLC I have (guessing, can't really read it) and the stage it's accessible after? For example, the first seems to indicate I can do it after stage 4. Is that automatic or will I be able to choose it when I want?

How does the free DLC interact with a physical copy of the game? It's going to be such a pain to switch my Vita to grab them since I doubt it works without switching to JP.
