Which cast? The whole team are major supporting characters and the only other one is Dyma's secretary who talks about her in a few scenes.

You get a lot of company characters with names that just show up for one scene. And then there's the enemies recruited by Rudi Pixyzalto for one stage each.

MonsieurChoc posted:Yes, they get names and unique portraits, it's weird. It's to emphasize that Saizo and Sagiri are good bosses who remember everyone's name and appreciate that the pit crew matters just the same as the headliners. The game's whole central thrust for the OG stuff is showing the difference between the good corporate culture that Project T3, Senpuuji, and Watta encourage and the bad corporate cultures the various villains encourage, and giving respect to people who'd normally be write-offs is part of that. After all, the reason the protagonist knows Goldman is an rear end in a top hat is that he didn't remember people's names. Also, just saw the Evangelion finale. That's going to be a trip and a half when it's added to Super Robot Wars if they do it right.

So the Steam preorder lists regular, Digital Deluxe and Ultimate editions, but has no information what's in them. Has it been announced what the difference is?

IIRC, regular is just the game; digital deluxe is the game plus the DLC season pass; and ultimate is the game plus the DLC season pass and a bunch of vocal songs included in the package (the formerly Japanese-only "Premium Sound" version).

And keep in mind the game will allow you to put in your own songs to some extent, so that can be considered a bit of a frill.

I've pre-ordered dozens of games from GMG and their discounts are usually a good compromise for pre-ordering (since the games will usually not get an official discount that big until 6-9 months after release). I've never had any major issues with any of the keys I've bought from them, but they usually don't release them until a little later in the day on release day, so you might find yourself refreshing a web page to get your key if you want to play it as soon as it comes out. There's also been a little controversy around keys from resellers lately (even though GMG doesn't sell shady second hand keys, they're an official Steam reseller like Amazon or Humble Bundle) because a batch of keys from an old bundle were invalidated years after the fact by the dev or publisher. I think that got worked out but it still makes me a little uneasy about buying Steam keys from third party vendors since it seems like the devs have the ability to revoke them without involving Valve.

I'm pretty disappointed that we had 3 games in a row with Crossbone Gundam in it, and yet at no point did we ever have the Mother Vanguard. It's only been in 1 game, @2, and it would have fit in to T so well! And now we don't have Crossbone in 30, so it won't be there either.

I'm more disappointed there was no plot in any of the VTX games for Crossbone outside of Zabine/Dogatie in V, and they didn't even bring Zabine back for T

Saint Freak posted:Having never played one, would T be a good one to get? It looks like it has more series in it that would appeal to me than 30 will have. Or should I just wait for 30? Thanks for the responses to this. T came in over the weekend and I started a little bit. Lol at the tutorial being "press the touchpad to bring up the help screen, and you'll figure out the rest as you play". Strictly speaking it's probably not wrong, but still.

It almost feels like they liked the Crossbone Gundams themselves more than the plot. It's kinda messed up when you claim a stage is adapting the Steel Seven when five of the pilots aren't even from Crossbone Gundam.

Next time they have Evangelion they should do the One Year War at the same time. So teen Shinji can be friend with teen Amuro.

I just have to assume the licensing is weird, and that it's easier to use "Tobia and Kincade alone" than it is to grab everything.

Locking themselves in their rooms, having emotional breakdowns, talking about how bad their dads are... they're going to have a lot in common. At least, until the timeskip. (Also, the reason for so little Crossbone plot might be because Crossbone is bad, but the Crossbone Gundam is cool.)

While I know the Gundam thread loves repeating this, it makes no sense here. One of the reasons why SRW is known and loved is taking bad series and doing good things with them, after all. (also Crossbone is good, but that's another debate entirely)

The scope of Crossbone Skull Heart in V makes sense in context of how they use it around Yamato; getting the Mother Vanguard as a ship in the late game would have been cool, but Earth Fleet Tenku already has so many ships. Past that point it just felt like filler; Tobia's main narrative role in X was a less compelling version of what they did with Bellri and Char while his dynamic with Seabook and Cecily was underused because there wasn't much going on for F91 either, and in T they were let down by being Captain Harlock's pirate buddies but not in a way that tied into what T used Harlock for. There's definitely lots of potential for getting more out of the Crossbone series when it comes back, and at its worst it adds cool extra UC units without pilot-locked or Newtype-only attacks, but I am glad it's getting a break for at least 30.

W covered most of Endless Waltz in the first half, which is famous for the infinitely respawning Wufei boss during the final plot stage. Then, the second half of the game is post-plot (with a still living Mariemaia).

Or they just didn't do the plot at all or did some weird thing that also wasn't really plot. Like most series in A, and a lot of stuff in R. G Gundam was fully post-plot but had Master Asia resurrected as a minion of the OG enemies. Daitarn has basically never had its plot outside of an episode or two being adapted, and maybe having the big bad as an enemy. EDIT: Hell, Wing's debut in Shin was plotless and it was a secret to get Heero and Zechs permanently.

the actual difference is the sereis lists in the gba/ds games were way smaller so they had to do most of the plots or they wouldnt, have a plot. like w has maybe 11 series (not counting separate seasons of the same thing, like fmp and fmp s2, as different series) and t has like 19.

Endorph posted:its strange because they gave astray a ton of focus and plot in w so its not a 'gundam manga' thing Maybe they did it to mix things up? The bog-standard SEED plot had already been featured fairly thoroughly in a couple games by that point, and with Astray entering the series list, it gave them the opportunity to keep SEED as a major part of the storyline but do it from a different perspective rather than just following Kira the whole time again.

Skull Heart was complete, but iirc that was just little mini adventures rather than a full thing like Crossbone or Steel 7. Granted, that'd still be more than Zeta, ZZ, CCA and 0083 had.
