I can hear you
The 2800 yen or however much it is pack on the PSN store for Tengoku is all the DLC right, so if I buy that I get all the stuff and all the bonus items?

Looks like we're getting both the Clanche Custom and Clanche. Considering the pilots for the latter that probably means we can save Shabadoobie or whatever her name is.

AGE-3 Orbital confirmed as well.

EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason I thought the Orbital had a unique head, turns out they're all the same.

Every species can smell its own extinction.
I finally restarted my game of Tengoku, this time making sure to have multiple saves so I don't screw it all up again.

I got the Multi-Crush trophy on Stage 7. The Double-X is amazing.

Yeah they finally made the Double X really usable.

I think Confuse might be the single most broken Spirit Command in the series.

Especially when you have five or six squadmate pilots that can cast it.

The sheer number of Confuse ready characters in Z2/3 basically means that by endgame, enemies will always be under a 50% penalty unless they have Strike or something. It's beautiful.

That also applies to Z1.

Katz, Mizuki, Gauli, Birin, a Gekko Go subpilot whos name I can't remember but not like he's using his SP for anything better.

In a game where the average stage is five turns at most.

By the end of the game you have a whole squad of wizards who can chaincast confuse and exhaust. It's wonderful

I went into Space on the second route split in Saisei-hen and now Reika from Aquarion is my top ace at over 100 kills (this is an all-female run). I wonder if I'm the first person that's ever actually happened to.

There's also going to be an event on the 19th, starring Gai (Shishioh)'s VA and Cham's VA.

Also, have a Project X Zone 2 trailer:

I was really looking forward to X Zone 1 too, but reading about what a slog it turned out to be discouraged me from buying it. What a shame.

Which is kind of hilarious, because the PxZ2 staff said the battle system would be reworked so it wouldn't be like NxC or PxZ1's slogfests.

I highly doubt even in the Alpha days of getting everything that they'd be playable. IIRC don't they only appear in the episode with the 100 rocket punches and their pilots show up that once? And each of them only has the one weapon they use on them anyways.

I'd certainly not want three mediocre never-used units over one of the main characters having a really strong finisher move that helps them not just be the weak medic all the time.

They should do them like that one unit in NEO and the Squad system in OE if they were going to do these kind of units IMO.

No they appeared a fair few times.

They didn't ever really accomplish much, but they were there.

The special event I mentioned earlier, which runs about an hour long. Notable times (approximate):

--35:40 Noboyuki Hiyama screaming
--36:11 PV 1 gets reshown
--41:35 Additional new content (not PV 2, though)
--49:45 The website special 170 Morale promotion item is revealed: SRW 2 released on the Virtual Console as a download

Some of the other content shown:
--Gekiryujin, Dividing Driver
--FA Unicorn (still looks clunky, even on the 3DS)
--Dark Hound
--Marida (as an opponent)
--Goraon
--Yuji Ueda letting everyone know his Akito voice has....not aged all that well. Or at least his "Akito screaming loudly" voice.
--Gorg has boulders
--No originals shown; however, there will be new stuff released on the 26th

Whoever is behind the 3DS games REALLY REALLY likes SD Gundams. Seriously, look at the Knight Gundam's animations, even in these short PVs, and tell me they don't have a lot more love put into them than basically everything else.

Go to OGG. 2.5 is the first half of it but is also much harder.

The fact that Mazinkaiser SKL and AGE-2 Dark Hound are in the same game just makes me imagine Asemu desperately trying to convince the Age System that he needs to copy that ridiculous badass Mazinger while everyone just stares at him.

To be honest I was kind of hoping they'd use Macross 30's plot (wormholes to various periods of time) to get all three generations of AGE going at once. That would have been really neat, if only to see Flit and Asemu's reactions to their future selves.

Hm.

On one hand, that sounds annoying as hell. On the other, extra cash and I feel like if I don't do this now, I'll never bother. Back on the first hand, does it really matter if I never bother? (not really) But the completionist in me is bugged by it.

Who's the priority for upgrading in OGG, anyway?

You get so many crazy powerful units that mainstay combo attacks like Alt/Weiss and Falken/Burger are a bit out classed.

The extra cash for 2.5 -> Gaiden is really tiny.

On the other hand, at least you can use the Mironga before they nerfed it to poo poo.

Double Bullet would kick the poo poo out of Dark Hound in SRW mechanics. It has giant beam-wing things and tons of weapons that Dark Hound doesn't have. Dark Hound mostly relies on having the best pilot in the setting to carry it through since it actually has a fairly crap weapon lineup. Asemu just does a lot with wire hooks and a flash bulb.

Fair point, I was more just thinking pirate Gundam>Double Bullet. I love the Double Bullet so much but Dark Hound has an eyepatch and that still makes me giggle.

It does make me wonder how ridiculous Asemu's stats are going to be. I mean within the setting he is in he really should have like Max Jenius/Amuro level combat stats, especially since he doesn't actually have a Newtype level to carry him. (Though I bet he gets a unique Super Pilot character skill.)

NERD LICENSE IMMUNITY
It's just been revoked!
Hey guys, got a question about DLC for Z3.1 and Z3.2. I can't recall if this was covered in the thread.

I (finally) made a Japanese PSN account to redeem my Rengoku-hen code, but only on PS3 since I use a NA account as my main one. And I redeemed the SRW HD one that game with Z3.1, but that also gave me that First Print Suzune DLC.

I got both Z3.1 and Z3.2 on both PS3 and PS Vita (physical), so say if I get the DLC on PS3 and play the DLC on the PS3, will the save still work on the PS Vita? I understand that you just get bonus items at the end of the scenarios, but it doesn't flag anything like this save requires DLC now or something like that?

Not the strongest, but the cutest.
Hello everyone, I would like to ask a question regarding the Aquarion unit in Z3.1. I am on my third playthrough, trying to finish the scenario chart, and I finally managed to get all of the aquarion pilots to Ace at the end of my second playthrough. I have just acquired Aquarion again, and I wish to know what is the optimal way to use the mech? I'm not very familiar with the Element System and as such I have no idea what skills to get for the pilots, or whether I should just use EVOL only? In any case, how do I spec it? Any advice you guys can give?
