The one you didn't choose will be a "sub-protagonist" but it says nothing about being a subpilot... I'm thinking something akin to Z1, in which they pilot something else and act separately. Since the Vangray looks like a mass production real, I bet they'll also pilot a Vangray.

That's pretty neat. Not too sure about the look of the Vangray yet, we'll see if it grows on me.

I'm assuming it's going to be like the Brasta and have a slightly more super/melee version and a slightly more real/shooty version for upgrades. I hope the lady isn't stuck with real/shooty. Apparently custom soundtracks was confirmed on the livestream and that the special sound edition will use the songs during certain events over the instrumental versions, which I'm pretty sure means Tsubasa wo Kudasai for the Eva2.22 finale.

By the way, I heard that there was a patch available for Fantasy Maiden Wars P? Is it still available? Edit: Nevermind, I found it. In any case, here's hoping for a translation to SRW V. GodofDiscord fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Nov 3, 2016 |

I'm FINALLY coming up on the end of my SRW3 playthrough. Getter G is absurdly powerful, holy poo poo (Bit surprised the game actually went through with killing Musashi though, since you can save most of the other "doomed" characters). The Granzon is also absurdly good, especially since killing a boss leveled up Shu enough to get Double Act.

Was Toki wo Koete listed under the anime song version? I saw Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete for sure (and Uchuu o Kakeru ~ Zeta no Kodou), but I was meaning that I was happy there is confirmation of custom soundtracks as that's the simplest way to get around the double licensing issue, of having to license Neil Sedaka's song first, by letting me just use my own copy of it.

Omfg the second to last stage of SRW3 is such bullshit. I'm pretty sure that Wendolo and his Dikastis have literally infinite HP, as if being able to one-shot most of my guys wasn't enough. But hey that makes the game too easy apparently, might as well give him like 15 units of reinforcements on turn 5, including several bosses like Paptimus and Sara.  This game is evil. It lured me into a false sense of security before beating me back the gently caress down right at the very end. Luckily I know that if I somehow can kill Wendolo before Paptimus and his crew arrives I can skip them outright to clear the stage...the problem with that though is that I'm not sure I can clear everything before Wendolo without abusing spirits. EDIT: After some more failed attempts, I'm not sure this is even mathematically possible for me to clear. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Nov 6, 2016 |

I appreciate it.  I'm getting pretty stumped here though. Maybe if I had more than two usages of Supply I could get through with Map Attack spamming, but that would require redoing the entire game again to properly set up for. That way I might be able clear this first wave of enemies more easily...though right now, I'm a bit stumped on how to deal with these assholes that wait on the other side of the map, never move, and just hit me with ranged funnel attacks and the like. It takes me like two turns just to get over to them. The bosses in this initial wave are still posing a problem, but to kill them without draining my SP takes too much time until Wendolo appears. And if I spend too much getting him with his bullshit powers to spawn, then Scirocco and his goons strolls in anyways and will pick off whatever forces I still have around. Maybe I should just forego the whole "clear in 5 turns" idea altogether, wait it out until Scirocco spawns and (Slowly) try taking him and the initial wave of enemies out, and then going after Wendolo. It would be a pain in the rear end but I'm running out of things to try. That strategy still might be a big drain on resources, but I might be able to recover from that with some clever usage of parking units in the Ra Cailum and running around the map.

I apologize for the second double post in a row, but I've done it. I've finished SRW3! For the second to last stage, I ended up being right about having to take things slowly, wasting turns on recharging, and I had to fight off Scirocco and his forces before spawning Wendolo. I actually a slightly easier time here than I expected, since Mekiboz, Sikalog, and Agirha didn't even move from their spot until I intentionally aggro'd them with Ryune's Rage. Once Wendolo himself spawned, it was just a matter of spamming all of my strongest attacks with Valor or whatever the hell it is called in this patch. Finally, I Double Tomahawk'd that little fucker to death (I had just barely run out of enough Will to not be able to use Shine Spark  ). Took me 23 turns on this map (Compared to the 5 turns that was my initial, foolish plan) but I did it. Afterwards I had a low enough turn count to get to the special bonus stage where you fight the Neo Granzon (Plus two Valsions. I guess Shu had some friends he just didn't think to invite to battle before now?). Didn't take any special strategy- again just spamming my best attacks since only three enemies were on-screen. Lot of HP on that guy though, and he hits pretty hard, particularly when he used two Map attacks in a row. Final turn count was 309. I'm glad I played SRW3, though I don't think I'll ever play through the entire thing again. I think I'll play SRWJ next- anything I should know about it?

When you think you're done with a chapter, you're not done with it. There'll be reinforcements, and then reinforcements. Also I don't remember if this is true in J, but at least in Moon Dwellers, Calvina is better than Touya.

Technically Touya has better Will gains and spirits but Calvina is totally fine. Just make sure you pick Granteed or Vorlent because the Reals are bad for the reason ImpAtom brought up.

The biggest mistake you can make in SRWJ is maxing Mobility on a dodgy unit. Never give a unit so much mobility that enemies can't actually hit it. One late game tip is to send one or two of your strongest units (probably the OG unit) to any conspicuously empty corners of the map, to get a one-up on the inevitable reinforcements. Aside from that, there isn't much. Most units are viable through out the game, aside from maybe Venus Ace and Diana Ace. WrightOfWay posted:Technically Touya has better Will gains and spirits but Calvina is totally fine. Just make sure you pick Granteed or Vorlent because the Reals are bad for the reason ImpAtom brought up. The Coustwell is excellent in J. It has about the perfect amount of mobility where it can avoid hits, but enemies will still target it. I've never played with the Bellzelute, though.

Having SRWJ be my first SRW game was a poor choice because I thought it was just common practice to throw your battleship into a horde of enemies and the refuel it at the the start of the next turn. >_>

Yeah it easily gets to the point where you just have Layzner sitting somewhere completely surrounded by enemies that want to move up next to him but never attack. Go all supers in J with no mobility upgrades and have a wild time. Go all reals and max mobility and every stage is even longer than normal for J (which is really long) as you have to kill each enemy on your own turn because you never get to counterattack anything.

I'm 99% certain it's gonna be the Z3 engine and system again, but we might get lucky and get a cheeky Z. Tri formation as Centre but inverted would be a good way of getting that to fit the V shape.
