Policenaut posted:The English version of SD Gundam G Generation Genesis will be launching on the same day as the Japanese version: November 22nd. Do I hold out and hope for a Western release or just get the Asian English release and then buy a Western release if it happens? I'm going to have a PS4 in November so it will be time to start importing Gundam Breaker 3 and SRWOG: MD... and SD Gundam G Generation Genesis? What an exciting time.

Hell yeah looking forward to G Gen!Senerio posted:Tips for MD Learn how to use the Maximum Break mechanic. You basically force a squad to support attack you but with no penalty to their attack and with a bonus bit of damage before you start kicking butt. By default Kai, Katina, Irm, Viletta, Aya and Kyosuke have the skill to start it (another one with it shows up near the end of the game). You need two sets of twins next to each other and everybody needs a weapon that has the F quality. Most units have one by default, but you might have to equip a couple with something. Everybody you wish to do the Maximum Break with needs 140 will or higher. When you attack with one of the above mentioned characters and these criteria are met it'll pop up with the option to Maximum Break and then you just choose your attacks and go from there and reduce your will by 10 as a price for having a good time. Otherwise my only big tip is to not twin people that do combo attacks together. Eg: don't put Kyosuke and Excellen together, not only are they not very good together in the same squad, it means you can't do their combo attack as often. This goes for every combo attack in the game, Kyosuke/Excellen, Sanger/Ratsel, Arado/Seolla, SRX/R Gun, Formation R and Latooni/Shine in the Fairlions.

MD is one of the games where you can hold an Awakened turn by not using it, right? Because that got nerfed real hard with Aoi between Z2 and Z3 and it's going to be even worse for Raul if it isn't.

Is the Angelg worth upgrading? It's pretty and I don't think I got far enough in OG2 to use it. If so what should I upgrade?

Do you want to experience the story? Maybe play one of the fully translated ones first, see if you like SRW stories, then decide if you want to deal with having a translation on hand. Assuming you have a translation, of course.

Lamia and Haken are the only ones who can use it, I believe, and Haken is much better in the Vysaga from what I've heard. But if you like Lamia, she'd do fine in any number of other machines too.

Lamia is weird because she's actually an evasive pilot with Focus but both her default machines are very heavy and survive on Double Image and Prevail (she also has Guard, I guess). I put her in the Wildraubtier for a bit and she seems to have gone all the way to untouchable.

I can think of uses for the Schwert: it flies well out of the box, has good movement and is S-sized. That's decent enough that you CAN put a support in there just to tag along. I see no such caveats for the MP Hucky. The thing sucked in OG2, it sucks even more now.

The Wildraubtier Schnabel alone is a pretty good argument, but they also still have the R-Blade Custom, which... I mean, it's not the Huckebein III, but honestly. Plus they've now reissued the Grungust Type 2 even though I'm pretty sure its codex just admits that its not as good as the original Grungust, which is itself now the Grungust Custom. So with two spare R-prototypes, two to three bonus Grungusts, and four Halloween Gespensts all still kicking around, why don't we have a Wildschwein [German word]?

The Gunstrikers are cool and strong units but their primary function is spamming ALLs and those run on ammo instead of Energy, which is what they regen. Banpresto!  Deathpenis is an amazing support pilot and Raji/Mizuho have good spirits too. I'm glad the R cast got to be cool again.

In non-mechanical news, is the Federation and/or United Strategic Council being total dickbags feeling sudden to anyone else? Because MD is all about secrets but also we've gone from being allowed to beat up aliens and terrorists the old-fashioned way to being ordered to gas a colony of noncombatants (and by the way, I'm surprised neither Ratsel nor Rai had anything particular to say about that). I know we kind of shot the President of Earth but jeez. What happened to those two nice old guys from Gaia Savers that I didn't pay any attention to?

Earlier people were talking about not liking SRW stories that feel like a military campaign, but I do miss the way you could look at the PTX series and see technology being developed. The Wildschwein is clearly the midway point between Gespenst and Huckebein. Then the Twin Birds got built as a midway between Alt Eisen/Weissritter and Huckebein Mk2. The in-fiction explanation for why there's no new Wildschwein is that it already did what it needed to do. That said, The Inspectors anime replaced the MP Hucky with an MP Wildschwein; so if they wanted to, the game devs could do that. I suspect nobody feels the need, though.

But at this point, I think the matter is more that the OG universe hasn't really done much to upgrade the mass-produced side of robot development. Sure, Isurugi rolled out some new Lion models last game, but that was part of the Gaia Sabers' rise to power and what is seen in Moon Dwellers was probably leftover stock from Euzeth's rollout plan. Everywhere else seems to have gone all-in on the one-of-a-kind units or the limited production units, and the need for MP units for the playable roster has kind of stagnated. Hell, Mao Industries has slowly been shoved to the side so other things can take the spotlight. Even if part of the GC plot was to try and market a MP Soulsaber idea to the top brass, the end result seen in the next game is most likely going to be Soulsaber stays and their attempts to get a MP version fall apart for whatever reason.

I can't even imagine what the MP Soul Saber will be like if the Grey Hucks is the results of them mass-producing the regular ones. Probably something that even Dai-Guard would wedgie and dunk into a toilet. I think Lamia works well in a lot of units mostly due to very solid cheap Spirit Commands (Especially Guard) - she's just usually going to grab the Angelg most of the time because IIRC it's locked to Shadow Mirror characters and we assume Axel is going to want to stay in Soulgain and maybe Haken will grab the Vysaga if you're really OCD about fielding all the non-mass produced units. Which is funny because Angelg is terrible in its source material.

The interesting thing about the GS is that, discounting Euzeth's secret motives, they're an attempt to "mass produce" the effectiveness of the Steel Dragons with more hybrid army strike-forces. That's a cool concept, and a nice nod to the heroes who have stopped so many alien invasions at this point. But I doubt if the next game will even bother keeping us up-to-date on the Earth government forces, seeing as we'll be heading to space for Alpha 3 and W. Maybe something will come of Team FDX's involvement, but as I recall they use those ridiculous super-custom Gespensts.

I just got to the route merge and oh god I just got like 20 new units. Beyond Touya and Calvina, are there any basically required characters? What are the best mechs for Kushua and Katina (because they were up there on my favorites list in OG)? I'm in Beginner mode, so I'm getting that one Grungust secret on my first run, who's really good for that one?

Senerio posted:I just got to the route merge and oh god I just got like 20 new units. Beyond Touya and Calvina, are there any basically required characters? You'll have to use the Soulsaber and the Compatible Kaiser for stages. Kusuha will get the Ryukooh before too long and that is best for her. The absolute best mecha for Katina is the Grungust Type-3. Stick Russell in the co-pilot seat so he can spam guard to make up for her weaknesses. However basically the answer is "give her something red" so if not the Type-3 then the Giganduro or the red Grungust.

The big advantage to FF is that it has more post-movement attack capability and is better at piercing barriers. (The latter is significant considering how many Fury enemies are in the game.)

Between that and the defeat of the Gaia Sabers, there shouldn't be anyone left to be the Titans.
