So, it seems the honor of "We blew the budget on this unit" for BX has been won by Knight Gundam.

drat. That's some nice Gundam.


... wait, it just occured to me. Is Age-3 Orbital in the game? Does it have actual attacks?!

Edit:

Oh, it's an attack for AGE-3.

Man, poor Obright. He gets to be a unit and even gets his suicide attack but it is animated like poo poo.

God drat, OO lost the music lottery. Also, I'm really not a fan of the animations in this game. That FA Knight Gundam attack is twice as long as it needs to be, and the "old boxart" style is really painful to the eyes.

Wish he'd get a finisher sometime that isn't just him narrating other people doing things. The K5 attacks have looked kind of janky so far, too, but not much way of getting around that.

Man, I wish somebody told me about the person on nico who took it upon themselves to correct Z3's anemic soundtrack. This youtube channel rehosts them, and for the most part they're pretty great!

A little heavy on the synth maybe, but I guess that's just the SRW Z style.

Oooh, those are nice! Although kind of useless since you can just use the originals with Z3. Or replace them! I replaced a lot of songs I didn't like, such as all of Basara's crappy songs (I replaced them with rock music from the 60s and 70s).

Genion. It's design is somewhat generic but mechanically having a power up mode that lasts all of 1 turn was fun. It pushed you to abuse game mechanics to get as much as you could out of it. It worked well within the story, it just not enough to stretch out over 2 games.

They were awfully chunky for a robot that is doing Bruce Lee moves, but at least that's explained by Edel not intending for it to be used the way it was in the first place.

Also, the stupid rule is that robots have to get progressively chunkier during every upgrade, unless it's Ialdbiot or however you spell it.

To add to this he basically asks her out to dinner and cooks for her because he wanted to get to know her better. Kind of a bizarre pairing to have.

Edit: She then says later that it was fate that they met and she would look after him to the end. Huh...

Turns out it's just x1.2 damage dealt. :geno:

Other than some really pretty animations, AGE really got the short stick in this game. One generation only (despite Macross 30 being right there), Orbital and Fortress are attacks, Asemu and Flit are stuck in Dark Hound and Glansa, and from all accounts the plot is played fairly straight.

Oh well, I'll just watch Flit nuke everything to death another twenty times.

EDIT: And in an odd reversal of fortune, I feel like this time the FA Unicorn's animations look much better than the Awakened Unicorn's.

Like, it stands out as a stark contrast to how poo poo everything else is. Yeah, Aura Slash's animation is like twice as long as it should be, but Hyper Aura Slash is a great length. The outlines aren't as thick and the gradients aren't so obvious, too, making the unit as a whole a lot easier on the eyes.

Compare Hyper Aura Slash there to the FA Knight Gundam finisher, which is longer than loving Ain Soph Aur despite just being him swinging a sword over and over and over and over again. Yeah, Show recycles the same 3 cut-ins a bunch, but considering he has only a single dialogue box portrait (Jesus loving CHRIST) I'll take what I can get.

It's really not worth capturing tons of robots. You can get some good items but it'll slow down the combat even more than it already is and 99% of them are shittier than units you'll get by default.
