I played it, it was alright I guess. I cant read Japanese so it might mean more to you. Its not very difficult and you only get about 8 units at the most and the final boss has stupidly high HP and a ridiculous MAP attack when the rest didn't really post a challenge.

Didn't Hokuto post her thoughts on it at some point in this thread? I'm 70% sure that somebody must have gone in on it, Dark Prison came out a while ago.

Actually, I bought it and then never played it because I burned myself out on Z3.  Now that I'm over that, maybe I'll start on it today. Edit: Impressions one stage in: The interface feels a little bit clunky to go back to after Z3, but maybe that's because I'm not as used to this control scheme. Plot is okay so far. Animations are nice. First skill point was hard to get until I figured out to put everybody in twin units. I'm sensing a distinctive unit imbalance so far where it's Granzon >>>> Selena's thing >>>>>>>>>>> Everything else. Hokuto fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jun 17, 2014 |

I'm still surprised Calvina didn't make an appearance anywhere in there. J's coming up next and she has a reputation as an ace pilot what with being the White Lynx, so I'd have figured she'd pop up as a cameo in the federation and maybe be a guest unit who kicks all kind of rear end despite being in a grunt mech.

They'll probably have that happen for a couple chapters in the early game, then her backstory happens and you don't see her again until chapter 20 or 25.

I love that they haven't updated the older character designs at all, but all the new ones have modern designs sensibilities running rampant.

Lune's design is so deep in its era that if you tried to change it the universe would explode. Masaki just gets lost on his way to the redesigner. The last time they tried to redesign him we got Asakim.

So, I did some checking on the VAs for the two new characters (character names are run through Google Translate, btw): Phyllis "Huge Tracts of Land" Jaravu: Megumi Toyoguchi Adinam, aka "The Bleach Reject": Mutsumi Tamura

I know the VA is female but she seems to play higher-pitched boys a lot. I guessed a girl but now I'm double-guessing myself because of how open that top is.

That reminds me, Z2 and 3 had basically no boob bounce cutins, right? And there's no indication that there are here either. Is that totally in the past for Banpresto now?

GaoGaiGar.  Though I still need to finish Z3-1, been slow gong since I only just beat the 6th Angel. Didn't help that I had to do the stage three times to kill it by turn 4, and not have any plot units die.

They pretty much missed the bus for ZZ by not having it in Z3-1. Unless they make it post-series it's just not going to work. Though I have to admit, it would be pretty great if the ZZ crew suddenly popped up during the final parts of Unicorn. Can you even imagine?

Actually now that I'm watching Ideon, I realize it'd slot in nicely with all the interplanetary shenanigans going on in Z3 what with EVOL and Gemini. Plus, you know, we had Tengen Toppa happen in the first half, it takes some serious poo poo going down to make the plot feel like it still escalates from that point. ...I still kind of question the decision to finish TTGL off in the first half of the game, that kind of thing seems like it'd be a no-brainer for the penultimate climax of the Z series as a whole.

I saw "speculation" (aka a completely random idea) that with the multiversal war stuff and each sphere user being from a different universe/planet/whatever that it was actually all foreshadowing the debut of Bokurano in Z3-2. Which, I'm not entirely sure how that would work, but I would sure love to see them try.
