The Singapore PSN is all in English so you can make an account online just like usual. I use Play Asia for funds just because they email them instantly.

Yes, you need the specific region money. Just get the same kind of card as account you make. If you make a Singapore account just search Play Asia for PSN Singapore.

EGSunBro posted:Z1 is the only time I've enjoyed the squad system in a SRW, and since they don't seem to want to use it again I hope V just doesn't have squads. I've only ever played what's available to purchase in English so I don't have a wide range of stuff to go off of, but I liked MD's systems once I learned how to actually use them. But I also use pretty much entirely Reals so

Actually, here's a question. As someone who has never played a G Gen game, what are the major differences I should be aware of from SRW? I suppose the manual will be English too so I can just read it and try but I like to have a vague idea of what I'm getting into.

I think Tag is just them trying to jam the squaddiness of Tri into Twin without understanding how Z designed its cast around enabling what Tri was supposed to encourage. Tri makes the followers very follow-y and demands you preserve the formation in full or else lose a lot, which is what Tag does, but in Twin's "partner" framework, which doesn't really work as well.

Does it let you use wrong-theme characters and robots if the plots are straight adaptations - for instance, can I deploy Domon in the 0079 plot if I've got him? Or, for an even more extreme example, Quattro? Not that I remember if Domon is in this one, it's just an example.

Or, for an even more extreme example, Quattro? G Generation Genesis is entirely Universal Century but yes, you can put almost any character into any unit. There are a very small number of characters who only can deployed as "Support" characters which means they are piloting your Battleship instead of a Gundam but it's a fairly small number. You could, in previous GGens, deploy a team of Relena, Lacus, Diana and a Haro to wipe out your foes if you want. You also have G Generation original characters and also can create your own custom pilot if you want. Units are gotten by either upgrading existing units (units level up and at certain levels they can evolve), combining units together, capturing them on the battlefield or by maxing out the "get" bar for a unit which is given to you during a plot. Most stages will give you the plot characters for that level by default and then you can bring in other characters. The plot characters are weaker than your own characters but you're usually encouraged to use them to unlock hidden bonus objectives.

Your units can include an RX-78 piloted by Haman or an entire team of Chars (you can only get 1 of each pilot but each series has a different usable version of reoccurring characters. So you only get one OYW Char but you also can get a AEUG Quattro and a CCA Char) Genesis is UC only. (pretty much)

The OG team system but more dudes with a special Tri attack and locked platoon attacks would be a super good thing imo. Slap on the Z3 thing of Support Attack levels making your platoon attack more powerful too. I mostly just want counter attacks from platoon members, even if only in certain formations to make stages not take twice as long as they really should because 2/3 of your roster don't exist on the enemy turn.

Honestly you should be able to at least change leaders on being attacked, if not formation. At least then you'd be able to control targeting, among other things like making the difference between a TRI leader, an ALL sweeper, and a defender more meaningful. (As it stands, you're expected to commit to a single shape for the entire enemy turn sight unseen which is 99% of any given unit's lifetime.)

GGen is like Disgaea - a free form SRPG where you're just trying to create the most badass group of pilots and MSs with the highest numbers possible by diving into individual events from the animes to level characters and gank specific enemy MSs, so you can fuse them with yours and create new ones Megami Tensei style. Other than having anime robots and fancy combat cutscenes it is really different than the linear, story driven SRW.

I think my favorite weird G Gen thing is Gineas showing up at the end of Gather Beat/Advance as the final boss with an army of Apsalus IIIs and a mobile armor that looked like a modern art installment.

Been playing more Moon Dwellers. Lower HP to X missions suck. But at least the SR points have been pretty easy at the moment. Though getting HP down on the HP Sponge Boss was down to the last attack. I like how it's been two missions and 0 kills for anyone, too. But I am enjoying it a lot more than 2ndOG since it is in English. Some of the dialog is really goofy. I love it.

Though getting HP down on the HP Sponge Boss was down to the last attack. Thankfully the 'reduce HP to X' missions really taper off after the opening. I've been on my second playthrough, probably about halfway. The absolute worst missions are the 'keept he NPCs who will suicide against bosses alive', but thankfully those are almost always just the SR point.

So SRW V got me to check out Cross Ange since I'd never heard of the series. I walked away with some pretty strong mixed feelings, but I guess it's nice that the folks who made Ar Tonelico got to make an anime.

G Generations Genesis note: Save before you start messing with modifications. I had a softlock while installing one, and now I have to redo the stage before since I thought I'd do the gear meddling first. Edit: I don't really want to do that stage again immediately. Is there any penalty for wandering off and doing one of the other scenarios for a while? I started with the original 0079 stuff, but if I go and do Zeta's scenarios is it going to remove my progress on 0079? Prism fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Nov 23, 2016 |

Isn't Cross Ange's inclusion like Zero and Hathaway's Flash in SRWV, which is to say, unit-only inclusions? Seems like the best thing they could've done. You get the cool magic motorcycle robots where you can hang outside the cockpit and shoot at things while your robot does and the dragons, and don't have to have anything else at all. Get all the good stuff and none of the bad.

About half, I think. My response was, more or less, 'THIS got in?'

I really wonder how the people behind the OVA were able to turn generic "boy gets the world strongest robot story (but with bonus tragicomic schoolgirl rape!)" and turn it into Meio Project. I should really take some time to look up who all was involved with that.
