More like Ryoko and Akito in one squad and Izumi and Hikaru in the other. Still, it'd be neat if it was 3 person squads.

Meanwhile, Akatsuki is duct-taped to the bench.

Unless he's got a semi-decent Tactician Bonus going for him, then he gets put in that slot (until someone else does the job better).

Honestly, I had this problem with especially Z3-2 as well. They switched from a proper SD sprite to basically frame captures from the anime too often. They were way cleaned up and looked awesome, but it still wasn't consistent. Based on this trailer I think BX is going to do that less in this regard, actually.

edit: this however is fantastically wrong



Z3 had a more coherent style mesh I think. It had its SD style and then the 'anime' style for emphasis. BX can't even keep the SD style straight in the animations. It kind of veers between a more UX-ish look, an artstyle clearly designed to mimic the box cover, and then the anime sprites which look poorly integrated. It kind of veers between the three without much thought. (Most noticeable in Unicorn and Gorg.) Some of the units look good. Galient and Knight Gundam looked really solid.

Those 3-person combo in Twin System were rather awkward in UX with Tobikage and Sangokuden as well.

That being said, 2-person combo in that system really aren't worth it because you can't attack with the 2nd Twinned unit as long as a combo is being done.

Hope we get the first two AGE openings, those are my favorites, even if they're not going to be all that relevant.

...oh wait I just realized WE'RE FINALLY FREE FROM GODDAMNED SEED DESTINY AND I GUESS DANCOUGAR NOVA

shame they couldn't let go of frontier but given how 30's here it's a bit more...okay I'll deal with it. With luck we won't have to go through their whole rigamarole, it seems like Alto might just be starting in the yf-29.

Still curious to see how they'll do New Story of Dunbine.

Also what do you mean by having the Laplace Box stuff tie into Nadesico? I think maaaaaybe Unicorn stuff MIGHT be slightly more relevant since with both the Jovians and Vagans running around there's probably...maybe...something, look I never actually watched any of those shows x.x

Full Frontal opens the Laplace Box over live broadcast to the entire Earth Sphere, reaches in...and pulls out a limited edition signed DVD box set of Gekiganger 3.

If Gekiganger is in any way deeply tied to Laplace's Box I will deeply consider buying a Japanese 3DS for importing purposes.

The way the 'box-art' look tends to come up, particularly with Raijin-Oh, makes me wonder if they chose it because of 3DS resolution issues. Ie, they wanted something 'cleaner' for close ups so as not to look weird and fuzzy on a 3DS screen.

I doubt the Jovians are able to beat the Vagans keeping their mobile colony stuck in orbit over the planet that's been slowly killing them for centuries.

Almost certainly. I bet it 'pops' out in 3D. It's just weird looking compared to the lower-quality default sprites.

Actually, how is this plot point even going to work? Why would Mars kill the Vagans but not the Jovians?

Unless it's like Z2, and there's two different Marses.

Well, in theory...

Double checking the lengths of time involved, the Vagans would have been on Mars first. So its possible that when the Jovians fled to Mars, rather than allow them to settle peacefully (and take up resources), the Vagans went to war, which in turn forced the Jovians to keep going all the way to Jupiter.

I can hear you
They open the box and it's the manga version of Gekiganger 3 signed by the original author - Aeolia Schenberg - with an extra foreward dedicated to all spacenoids now they have equal representation and autonomy from the Earth sphere.

Having Nadesico in it means that there are 3 possible characters to be voiced by the guy who does Sanger (even if only one is likely to get any voiced lines) and if he's already in the studio... 3rdOGs confirmed.

I was told the soundtrack of UX had good versions of all the songs and I'm hype for a new You Get to Burning.

Then the ELS absorb the DVDs and Mangas and you're forced to fight an army of GekiGangers...not sure Gai Daigouji and Akito could handle that.

Half/half really.

To kill your ears, listen to something like "Joey and Heroman" and some of the Macross Frontier songs (Obelisk?)(edit: The Eternal Soldiers sound pretty bad too)

On the good side, Love Survivor, Linebarrels theme and Demonbane sound pretty good IMO.

I thought this looked bad, then I looked back at some UX videos. There's a lot of style clashes, but at least everything's not super pixelated anymore.

Also I get what they were going for with Unicorn Destroy, but man the red sheen of the psychoframe just does not work with that sprite. It looks sunburnt.

Just got everybody ack together after the Fifth Luna root split in Z3.1 and Jesus CHRIST there are so many people. I'm trying to do reals/Gundams only this run and even then there's not enough room with 15 teams. Even dropping the 00 guys and the non Sousuke FMP guys is too many! And I'm about to get Gyunei, Marida and Quess and have to use them to get the Kshatriya? Only concessions are Watta and his shuttle friends because 500 Z chips and free PP is nice, but I might have to drop them too.

Playing L and hahaha at how they're just ramming through the SEED Destiny plot with most of it offscreen.

Also man I like PP way more the Skill parts, I don't know who to give what since it's so limited.

Davzz
Jul 31, 2008
For skill parts I basically just favoured 2 units - one melee and one range respectively for stats because I don't really feel there's any motivation to spread them out. They should probably cap how much stats you can gain from those parts so you might actually distribute them somewhat around.

For skills, stuff like giving H&A to snipers etc are kind of obvious, so it's just a matter of prioritizing distribution.

One thing I do like about Skill Parts is that weaker skills do get used because there isn't a "max skill limit" on a character so skills like Counter actually get used, if only because there's no opportunity cost for using them up whereas in a PP system, getting that means you aren't getting more useful things.
