BONUS: Japanese Hitler is also angry about Tengoku-Hen

Didn't even realize that meme actually existed in Japan.

I think it's a pretty good sum-off of people's grievances towards the announcement, "justified" or not.

You know, its kind of weird but I don't think I've ever been linked one of those videos without getting at least a slight snicker out of it. Maybe its just because of hitler throwing a temper tantrum, but its always funny.

No.

The cash bonus for being an Ace doesn't stack with Luck/bless either (though it does with Very Lucky)

You know what would be cool? I've been listening to a podcast called Nightvale lately that uses the podcast format to basically tell an episodic story (I'm sure there's plenty more podcasts that do this, this is just the first one I've heard that is done this way). It got me thinking about all those original SRW game ideas people post in this thread with their ideal mashups. Wouldn't it be cool or at least interesting if someone made a podcast that was the audio-log of a SRW OC? I mean an original one, from a fan-conceived SRW story. So they'd keep an audio-journal of all the political maneuverings and battles and all their meetings with the casts of the different anime involved. Personally I think it'd be awesome to listen to something like that as long as the person making the podcast didn't have an annoying voice and had some idea how to structure their 'entries' to make them sound both believable (as in someone would actually say something into an audio-log in that way) and interesting.

Something to consider, if you're sitting on a fully fleshed-out SRW storyline idea.

Edit: My first entry would be the OC meeting Shippon and Arisu on their way up to Stellvia because there's a secret mech being developed there for the OC to pilot to counter a mysterious threat that may be coming with the 2nd Impact (the Stellvia impact, not the Eva one). See in the 1st Impact (which destroyed the Moon, turning it into kompeito so I can set up Xenoglossia) there was a message hidden among the supernova blast believed to be sent by extra-dimensional beings freed by the supernova of Hydrus Beta.

Man I wish I had a good voice for podcasts. Or the time and attention necessary to set up an entire SRW plot and all the relevant anime references and stuff.

Yeah that was pretty much my logic when thinking about it. I mean for any other fandom it'd be kind of lame, just having a person talking about big happenings and how they met all the characters. But SRW glorifies the whole 'and then this character you all know and love did that thing from that one episode that was so awesome!' mentality, so I think it would lend itself pretty well to the self-insert audio fanfiction format.

By the way, I feel like I need to laugh at the irony of having the original Evangelion series do its almost complete plot in every game that it shows up in...

and then fast-forward to the future and Rebuild has never completed its plot once... though of course, that's because the ACTUAL movies aren't done yet and they put it in for popularity anyway.

While I am aware of the irony I think there's a world of difference between a company getting all those licenses to do a thing and a podcast that reads fanfiction.

In my SRW fanfic I am Toei and I interpret every series in a '70s super robot style. Get ready for 90+ stages and monster-of-the-week plots for at least 85 of those stages.

Sounds like it'll come down to just what grotesquely overpowered squad he'll end up using. There's just so many possibilities.

Yeah, the hard part is coming up with a squad with good sustainability. Even weak ALL attacks are either ammo based with 6-8 ammo or cost 30+ EN and that adds up when you only have 3 units to kill everything.

Figure out who has free PLA attacks and roll with it that way? They tend to be weak but he does have 15 upgrade slots.

You can't use PLA attacks on enemy phase and if they plan to get all possible skill points and sub 300 turns they need enemy phase offense.

They're going for all reasonable skill points. Some will be more feasible than others. The point stands regardless!

I don't think anyone was expecting AGE, not even the 2 fans of it. The only way they could even think to get AGE to work is to either have it take place across an entire new series (Which they wouldn't put the effort into because AGE) or just doing Memories of Eden, because gently caress Kio.
