So I had a long rear end commute today and got to thinking about lots of dumb stuff. Relevant to this thread, does anyone know what the deal was with Winky Soft and Masou Kishin? I can only remember a lot of vague rumors about lawsuits and weird things with the rights to Cybuster, and how they made a Cybuster anime that replaced Masaki and other weird stuff.

Ethiser posted:I was thinking about T today and I realized that not a single one of the series that first appeared in X are in the game. That seems like a weird move. Looking at what those series were it kind of makes since, but it just isn't something I'd expect from Banpresto, especially with all the G-Reco sprites they created. Well, the fact G-Reco isn't terribly popular with the typical SRW audience is probably a factor. It was barely above AGE in the big Gundam poll last year. Once it doesn't have the new show bonus, it's difficult to justify bringing it back. It's also an awkward fit for the world idea they're working with, which isn't a guaranteed no (Rayearth), but it does mean it needs a little more reason to be included than it would otherwise.

Plus, one of the common complaints about X was "too many Gundams". Thus T only offers the usual grip of Z/ZZ/CCA, one more UC work, and fan favorite G Gundam. Edit: That's not too many fewer, actually, but G-Reco just had so many units. HitTheTargets fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jan 19, 2019 |

They’re keeping G-Reco for a post-apoc SRW with Turn-A, X and Xabungle.

When I think Reconguista and Turn-A, I don't think "instant post-apocalyptic" but rather, "stuff happened and now we've rebuilt society more or less hosed than it was". There is mention in the Reguld century canon of a time when people were bred in vats just to be turned to food.

Yeah, I was going to say that if Reco and Turn A were post apoc, IBO would get a look-in too. That one's also got merciless scavenger protagonists, even if the overall setting is pretty well recovered.

I still find it hilarious that there's been at this point 4 Gundam series that are at least somewhat post apocalyptic in nature, and all of them except maybe IBO are less grim and bleak than SEED

The colony drop that started the One Year War killed half of humanity. The entire UC timeline is post-apoc.

Yeah, the colony drop was barely a blip compared to the rest of the OYW, 50% of humanity didn't even live on Earth at that point. The OYW killed half of humanity with indiscriminate gas/nukesin the first week.Inferno-sama posted:From what we've seen, at least six for the heroes. Yeah, we've seen the full five members of the Shuffle Alliance and Allenby and they definitely didn't look like call-ins.

UC doesn't count as post apocalyptic in nature in my opinion because the Federation manages to continue as an operating government after pretty much every crisis it runs into*, if mostly out of sheer stubbornness and inertia rather than anything resembling competence *well unless we count G-Savior or Gaia Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxE5sI9BJ_A Edit: Though the J version is better. Alpha 2 stuck really close to the originals so you get things like Last Impression needing 2 minutes to get to the good part. The portable games were much better as far as speeding up songs. Last Impression in A is rad. Getsuya fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 19, 2019 |

Getsuya posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxE5sI9BJ_A The slow pace and the weird synth that they replace the lyrics with are my biggest problems with the Alpha 2 version, I just can't get into it. On a related note, since I never got the chance to play X I've been listening to some of it's music and Jesus is it good. Step, Flash of G, Fly Dunbine, Unisonia and probably more that I'm forgetting. I'm not sure if they're good covers or if it's just the strength of the original songs but they're really great.

I've been reading SRW J story posts, there are some big differences with moon dwellers. Al Van really killed everyone but Calvina ends up falling for him none the less?

I'm glad they took that approach; right after Genesis, including a few UC units on the scale of those other series would feel weirdly stripped-down, and there isn't enough uncovered early UC to make another Genesis-style game seem worthwhile.

I like how even in SD form, Mikazuki's giving mooks the worst death. Interesting that everyone else was using their upgraded suit while Mika just had Barbatos form four.

Is it a crossover story, or will it just have the four series be four different campaigns that follow their individually canons?

It'd be nice for them to make G-Gen games again that had actual crossover stories. Unless they go with some real deep pulls from lesser known side story manga I feel like SEED is the only one of those four shows that has a real huge variety of suits they could use.

Wing has three Heavyarmses, for example. The hilarious thing is that even if you do go into side stories, you're just gonna get more Heavyarms. I don't think any of these series has the equivalent of, like, a GM.
