Reading through faqs of previous games trying to predict what old story stuff could pop up in MD....

holy hell SRW original story stuff is confusing. It makes the constantly shifting backgrounds of American comics look simple in comparison.

Hell, most originals could be slotted into the DC or Marvel universes pretty easily.

He said, specifically, that the Z originals were not made with OG in mind.

One might notice that this also applies to any originals made before OG was a thing.

Also since we have Excellence Gunstriker is there possibly any hope for Excellence Cosmoflydiver considering Cosmo and Diver didn't even happen in OGS despite being the best ones?

It'd sort of make sense, Gunstriker is the two slow land-based heavy attack ones while the other three are lighter-armed, so Gunstriker would pack a lot of punch but Cosmoflydiver would be more zippy and easier to use.

Cosmodriver was in OGG, you just never had a single reason to use it because there were basically no space stages.

So it looks like Granteed is now the personal unit of the royal family. It can also be used by Touya's family, who serve as dedicated royal guards. It seems like the plot starts with El-Selda foreseeing that Gu-Landon was going to pull some shady poo poo, so he jacks it and the Powerpuff girls and drives them all to Touya.

More interestingly (and less spoilerly), the Dracodeus' description states that it was intended to be the Fury's final weapon against the Ruina!

Also Granteed went from 30 meters tall to 64.5, so I guess we can't make jokes about its size anymore.

EDIT: Oh, and Shana-Mia is confirmed as a sub-pilot. Starts with Trust, Cheer, Faith, Prayer.

I can't believe how hype I am for this game, I didn't realize I liked J's setting so much. Please let the PS3 version be english too. :smith:

Wading through the Shitposters in 4ch is always fun. But found another potential spoiler a lot were waiting for confirmation on:

Screenshot showing 2 folks discussing using the Coustwell Brachium to steal the Throne Robot. Still no sign of the Coustwell in game, but its clearly mentioned. Looks promising, even if we only get the Brachium

The overkaiser sword animation......is just....holy crap....

A screenshot shows Ja Mu piloting both the Coustwell and the Brachium as well.

More surprising, different spoiler: Calico and Spectra show up too.

This is the first time in years I cared enough about a SRW game to browse /m/ again for news.

Sometimes it's midnight JST (in about 20 minutes) but usually it's midday the next day. Occasionally it's before midnight so I'm F5ing the store.

Okay, but I'm not going to stay up much beyond midnight.

Why can't 90% of Japanese publishers be assed to set up their games for preordering and pre-load? Preordering by itself is worthless but preloading is sweet as hell.

edit: not exactly SRW but this weekend I'm gonna watch the Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky on the big screen it's gonna be sweet.

Still waiting to see if we get any of the Masou Kishin back. There is a screenshot showing Masaki back and it claims he comes with Amara Ryune and Shu, and he has the Neo Granzon already. I feel this is too good to be true, no way we can keep that glorious machine only halfway through the game

Calico and Spectra are there, leading the group, and Cobray has also shown up... as Ain. Nothing about him transforming yet (though he did get a bit dazed and mumble "factors").

I assume they skip all dialogue and animations. Just blaze through as fast as possible to find what units and characters show up.
