Oh my God I totally forgot I had Sakura Wars GBC. I should dig it out. What's the other game? It looks like the same character designer as Trauma Center Wii

I've only ever beaten the first GBC game (and I didn't even know that there was a SECOND one until a few weeks ago, but that's a different story completely). Also, the other game's Persona 3. Not only is it one of the few (semi-)dating sims ever brought over to America, but it has a pretty cool game over sequence, to boot.

See guys? If we go with Kohran he'll become MECHA OGAMI and be able to lay waste to Tokyo himself! That is clearly the good ending.

...so who's been bathing Ogami? Or don't I want to know? Shame Kanna's a karateka instead of a judoka, otherwise Ogami might be able to get some pointers for that counterpunch situation. Anyway, Maria is probably up on a rooftop somewhere yelling TAICHOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU at the uncaring heavens or whatever. ...the Koubu don't do that my-robot-is-scraped-therefore-I-feel-pain thing, do they? Because Maria could just punch through some surface armor to land a headshot next time Gutpunch McCoward tries that.

It's just that compared to more gigantic mecha, there isn't a whole lot of armor separating the pilot from the outside world.

 Looks like Kohran's medicine knocked out Ogami just long enough for everyone in the theater to perpetrate some kind of unspeakable horror upon the poor man's slumbering body.  [Ogami]  (There's someone... by my... side...)  It's Maria. [Ogami] (Ah... there's a hand on my head....) (It's a cold hand.... but... it feels comfortable...) (.............)  ... it was Maria. [Ogami] (That.... cold hand.... I wonder who... it... was...) No, dude, seriously, there are only so many platinum blonde Russian women in the theater.  It's--  WAIT, YOU'RE NOT MARIA  Or... anyone who I'm trying to get to be my top pilot, come to think of it. [Ogami]  Iris, huh... yup, I'm mostly feeling better now.  [Iris]  Oniichan... I was worried that you wouldn't ever wake up again... ---- [Ogami]  Awww, isn't that sweet? [Iris]  Because the forbidden fifth rite of Ashnak the Devourer requires that the target sacrifice be fully awake as he feels his spirit being eviscerated by the Masticator of Heavenly Agony, otherwise the interior spirit will not properly bind to my omnipotent will. [Ogami] Hahaha, look at you! You've already starting to learn how to use grown-up words. I'm going to need to find a dictionary if I want to understand [Iris] ... are you not listening to a thing that Iris has been telling you?! [Ogami] BEHOLD, for this is the power of an unhealthy denial of the grim facts of reality. ----  ... alright, you know what? I'm SICK of constantly getting these Iris scenes. I could've had an elucidating, character-development-revealing scene with Sumire! Or Maria! Or, heck, Kohran! But I keep getting Iris. By golly, it might be my destiny to become Iris's mind-crushed love slave, but I am at least choosing my top pilot! WITH THESE OWN TWO HANDS. [Ogami] It was a good vacation. I mean, I got to sleep the entire time. And it all starts by being a gigantic dick to Iris.  [Iris]  Oniichan... you IDIOT!! [Ogami]  I-Iris?!  [Iris]  To say something like THAT.... that's so mean! Oniichan, I HATE you!! ---- [Iris] I HATE YOU!!  [Iris] I HATE YOU SO.... MUCH...!! ---- Y'know... on hindsight, maybe I could've planned this out a little better.  [Ogami]  ....... I suppose everyone was fairly worried about me. .............  (SOME TIME LATER) [Ogami] Ngh..... nnn....  [Ogami] Ah, Maria.... what's wrong?  ---- [Ogami] Passing by? [Maria]  Yes. [Ogami]  ... through my room, which only has one entrance and exi- [Maria]  I AM JUST CHECKING TO SEE THAT YOU'RE ALRIGHT. [Ogami] Well, okay, why didn't you say that in the first-- [Maria] I AM NOT SNEAKING IN HERE TO INSTALL HIDDEN CAMERAS SO THAT I MAY KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON WHATEVER IT IS YOU MAY BE DOING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, NOR AM I ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TIDY PROFIT OFF OF SELLING THE VIDEOS TO SAKURA. [Ogami]  ....... not you too, man. [Maria] Okay, fine, so I have this bet going with Ayame as to which of the pilots in this theater will eventually be the death of you. [Ogami] Oh, okay, that's better- wait, but you're going to be selling these pictures to SAKURA. [Maria] ... let's just say that I've got a shitload of money riding on your getting surprise-sex'd by Sakura, and leave it at that. ---- [Ogami] I see... thanks.  [Ogami] I'm sorry... that I'd let something like this happen to me, as the Captain...  ... ruh-roh, Raggy. [Maria] Why... did you run out like that... [Ogami] ... eh? [Maria]  At that time, why... why did you run out like that! That's what I asking! [Ogami] That's because... that child was... [Maria] ... Ensign. Allow me to say just this one thing!! Your injuries during this last battle... they are entirely your own fault! To let yourself be taken off-guard by just one civilian, and to let the enemy escape... Which could result in the endangerment of even MORE civilians' lives... do you not understand that? ---- [Ogami] Oh, you silly Maria, that's MORE than one thing-- [Maria] THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT, ENSIGN. ----  ----  ----  [Ogami] That's....  [Maria]  If the Captain dies in order to save a single civilian... What will happen to the Imperial Capital?! Exactly WHO will fight against the Hive of Darkness?! ---- [Ogami] ... I was kind of figuring that you guys'd be able to take care of something like that. [Maria] Yes, but YOU are everyone's boy toy, and the focal point for everyone's horrible sadistically anti-social tendencies! If you weren't here, we'd be killing each other within exactly two days and a half! [Ogami] Good god, man, how did you people ever survive without me? [Maria] Just... just don't ever ask the Manager about the fifty-nine former would-be Captains of the Imperial Assault Force. ---- [Ogami] That's....  [Ogami]  ........ ---- [Ogami] I was thinking that I didn't want that child to die. [Maria] Well, okay, but-- [Ogami]  BECAUSE I WANTED TO KILL HIM WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS FOR BEING SUCH A loving MORON. [Maria] ... [Ogami]  I mean, did you SEE him?! He jumped out into the middle of a loving ROBOT BATTLE! He was just ASKING to get turned into a puddle of blood, viscera, and spare body parts, and I didn't want some stupid DEMON to get the honor of removing him from the gene pool before I ever could--  [Ogami] GYAAAAAAAA-- ...  ----  [Maria]  It would be... the same as that time. [Ogami] ... Maria?  ----  ---- [Ogami] .... Maria, what-- [Maria] Look, I'm only going to get ONE CHANCE to speak my mind to you like this, so shut up and let me savor the moment, alright? I want to get this JUST RIGHT. ----  [Ogami] ...... !  ----  ---- [Ogami] ... she JUST NOW figured that out...? ---- [Ogami] Was I.... ... mistaken...?  HOT BLOODED STUBBORNNESS, GOOOOOOOOOO-- [Ogami]  No, that's not the case at all! At that time, if I'd just abandoned the child... I would regret it.... for the rest of my life. For various reasons, as stated above. [Ogami] In any case, I should... go try and talk with Maria one more time.  Good god, I certainly HOPE that they hadn't kept poor Ogami in his ticket-clipping clothes all throughout his recovery period. Or at least while he was confined to his bed.  Granted, I'm pretty sure that Yoneda gave him a pajamas edition of his work uniform. He seems sadistic enough to do something like THAT.  [Kanna]  What in the world is wrong with you? Maria, this isn't like you at all. [Maria] ....... [Kanna] In that kinda situation, wouldn't it only be natural to save that child? Why are you so angry? [Maria] It has nothing to do with you.  , etc.[Kanna] Just what.... what exactly is that supposed to mean! Even though we've known each other for this long.... what're you trying to accomplish by hiding things from me?! Do you not trust me enough?! [Maria] That's not the problem at all. [Kanna]  You're always like that, Maria. No matter what... you never try to rely on others! If you don't just talk to me... I'm gonna tear this room apart! ... And this is why Kanna makes such a lousy negotiator. [Maria] ... I'm sorry, Kanna. It's really nothing... [Kanna] ...... [Maria] ... even though it's been so long since we've last met.... I'm sorry. [Kanna] I hate you when you're like this. [Maria] ...... [Kanna]  If you don't hurry up an' start feelin' better soon, I'm never gonna speak to you again for the rest of your life, okay? There's really something to be said for being as blunt as a steamroller to the head. None of this pussy-footing around with politeness and niceties and veiled meanings: Kanna gives it to you like it is, ESPECIALLY when "like it is" involves wielding words like a sledgehammer. [Maria] Kanna.....  ----  Naturally, there's only one right answer here because I'm fairly certain that we do not want Kanna to catch Ogami eavesdropping while she's in the mood to tear something apart with her bare hands. [Ogami] Ch'... I've got to hurry up and hide!  B-BUTTON DASH  B-BUTTON DASH  [Ogami] Urgh... aw, no... my head's...  ----  ---- [Ogami] ... what the hell DID Kohran put into that medici- [Ogami] HnnnnGgggOOOOoooohhhhGooooDDDDdd IiiiIIIi'MmmmMMMmmm crrRRrraaAAaassSSshhHHhhhInnngggg SO BAAAD-- ---- NEXT TIME (ETA- THE RELATIVELY NEAR FUTURE, AS MEASURED IN UNITS OF TIME ROUGHLY ANALOGOUS TO MUCH LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF DAYS): ... shall keep Ogami from those goddamn nightly rounds.

Too bad Ogami's not feeling up to zinging back. I mean, there was one of the enemy's generals, himself off balance because he threw the entire weight of his mech into the punch, and everybody's focused on Ogami? Especially the people with long-range weapons? Cardinal Rule of Mecha - if you fight like you're not afraid of dying, you're not going to die. Unless you're going to propose after fighting your last battle, then the universe itself will contrive Semtex into your cockpit.

Update's not happening tonight. I've been somewhat busy; I don't foresee it coming up any earlier than Sunday evening, though a Monday update's a lot more likely to happen.Sindai posted:You may remember him as the evil mad scientist captain who was into face paint and body modification. Also has a sword that turns into a GIANT POISON BABY. ... oh god, HIM I have yet to slog through the anime, but the manga version of that sunnovabitch freaked the living daylights out of me. And if you combined HIS bioterrormodification powers with Kohran's technomancy... I dunno, you'd probably end up with the Shogeimaru turning into some kind of organic mecha or something like that. Glazius posted:Too bad Ogami's not feeling up to zinging back. In their defense, I don't think they've ever been in a situation where the midboss completely wusses out of the usually-requisite boss battle. I mean... Satan stayed and got his rear end kicked, and Tenkai at least left behind the Kage-Samurai duo. If you were in their position and the tough, badass boss suddenly disappeared after landing just one blow, wouldn't YOU be waiting for the other shoe to drop, too? :p Glazius posted:Cardinal Rule of Mecha - if you fight like you're not afraid of dying, you're not going to die.

I'd be a bit more at ease if Ogami's prior actions hadn't shown his potential to be something of a creep, and if Iris's attitude towards Ogami didn't send off warning klaxons in my mind.

Without really thinking about it, I was kind of assuming throughout the thread that based on how they look, Ogami, Maria, Kanna and Sumire were somewhere from 20-23 years old, and Sakura and Kohran about 18. Looking at Wikipedia today, I found I'd been overestimating a little: Ogami is 20, Maria and Kanna 19 and a half, Sakura and Kohran 17 and a half. Sumire is 16. Sixteen. Maybe I just suck at judging ages, but something really, really does not compute there. (Oh, and does this mean that a vote for Sumire is a vote for  ?)Also, Maria and Kanna are 186cm and 197cm tall, respectively. Now, I know that no-one is likely to see them inside the cockpits, but maybe the most uber-top-secret unit of the armed forces shouldn't be giving its uber-top-secret pilots such a high public profile when you consider that among their number are the two most distinctive women in the whole goddamn country.

Sindai posted:The apparent age and listed age of an anime character diverge wildly? What a shocking development! It gets even better when you consider that the apparent age, the actual birthdate, and the MENTAL age of characters can all have drastically different values. So Character X can look 10, be listed as 14, and act like they're 22 (yes, I'm thinking of someone specific here) and then you just have no clue what the gently caress. Or a more relevant example, I have no clue how old Iris is supposed to be, but I'm betting it's somewhere around ~14 so that she's legal-ish. Despite this she looks like she should be in early elementary school, and her mental age is arguably lower than that, demonic possession aside. In her case it's just attempts to sidestep the law but still, this really gets tiresome after the zero-th time.

It's like the people in charge of character design and the people in charge of calculating character ages worked in complete isolation from each other.

Wyvernil posted:Surprising. I thought she'd be at least older than I know- given the way they ACT (and, you know, Sumire's demeanor in general), you'd think that Sakura would be the younger one, but... Well, age ranges in Sakura Wars are messed up, anyway. BlondRobin posted:Actually it says she's 12. This is not an improvement, or anything, but I wanted you to have a factually correct and well-founded Oh, how I wish I could do that.

And if you think he's NOW, just... just try and imagine how creepy it would be if Ogami went down Iris's route. BlondRobin posted:Edit: It also says Sumire is 18. Is this site accurate? The site's accurate. It's probably just taking its timeline from the OVAs or the sequels (which take place a few years later). Yes, this still means that Iris is nine, though she's closing in pretty quickly on ten. As you can imagine, this helps not at all. Bobfly posted:Well, this is anime (sorta). Everyone is around that age. I've never seen a 'young' character in anime over the age of 20. I bet Ôgami is like 17 too. Truth. It's a creepy thought, but truth all the same. polsy posted:Depends on whether it's 1925. Not that I looked terribly hard, but I didn't see anything about exactly when this game is set other than 'the 1920s' (though I assume the thread title must have come from somewhere). Yup, the game's set in 1923, as it says on the title. Spirit Armor fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Nov 5, 2007 |

Just a quick note: I've tallied up the "Who Should Ogami's Top Pilot Be?" votes that we've got thus far. ONCE AGAIN TIED FOR FIRST PLACE, DAMMIT:   Maria and Sumire, at 16 votes apiece. SECOND PLACE:  Kohran, at 7 votes. THIRD PLACE: Kanna, at 5 votes. Aaaand Iris has four votes. That's just about how it's lined up right now, it seems! Morgenthau posted:I look forward to the fun we will be having with the other token pedo girls in 2, 3, 4, and V. Hahahahaha oh god don't remind me. On the plus side, 3 and V's token pedo girls aren't nearly as frightening as Iris... as long as you don't count how the story can have Ogami/Shinjiro acting towards them. Morgenthau posted:And despite me feeling happy for Tomizawa Michie's new phase in her life, screw her for leaving before doing a remake of Sakura Wars 2. It's not like she hasn't been coming back to Sakura Wars every now and then, and I THINK they're making a Monogatari game for the Imperial Capital folks just like they did with the Paris team, so there's still a chance that we'll see SOMETHING!
