After playing Z2 and having no clue what happened in Z1 (not that I have much clue outside the LP for Z2-1) this is amazing to see. I still want to get a copy of this game too.

BlitzBlast posted:You can get it for pretty cheap. The harder part is getting a japanese PS2. I actually already have one for OG and Alpha 3, the hard part is justifying the cost. And I can confirm that it won't work on a PS3 that can play PS2 games, I used to have one, and the region coding seemed to be intact there when I tried it with OG. Imported PS3 games work fine of course.

Onmi posted:So Z3 just got announced. Or rather Z3-1 HELL CHAPTER. This is going to be the 2-part conclusion to the Z series, and it's being released on PS3/Vita. I have both consoles. I...don't know which version to get.

Man, all I got when I was a kid was Robotech on Toonami. Granted, I loved every minute of it. At some point I actualy got home too late to watch it and had to program our VCR to tape every episode. Then I eventually discovered Macross and it being better. I never really got the chance to see much else, though I remember hating Gundam Wing for having 'too much politics, not enough awesome robot battles' when I was in middle school.

AradoBalanga posted:And all of this was done because Harmony Gold wanted to run Macross as a daily series, unlike a weekly series like it was originally broadcast as. However, US television broadcast rules at the time stated that a daily cartoon series had to have a minimum of 50 episodes, which the 36-episode Macross didn't meet. So, Harmony Gold took Southern Cross and Mospeada (which they had the licenses to) to fill in for the requirements. Though that is only half the story. Apparently it would cost more to license the Fire Bomber songs of Macross 7 than the series itself, or so I hear. Granted, with Harmony Gold in the way it's a less than zero chance, but still. I also haven't heard of anything, well, GOOD being done with Robotech since the original.

AradoBalanga posted:No, the thing with Fire Bomber songs was an Alpha 3 story, not a Robotech one. Banpresto wanted Fire Bomber songs to be played live in-game (vocals and everything). And then they saw the license fees to do that, so Banpresto dropped the idea. Ah, I was mostly referring to the idea of even bringing macross 7 to the US, even if Harmony Gold wasn't in the way. But like an above poster said, it was SRW that got me really into a lot more mecha anime. I played OG1 and 2, then the translated Alpha Gaiden and the rest is history.

Dr Pepper posted:All info on the game says the afterimage has a 25% activation rate, and in my experience that seems about right. It's a nice bonus because Baldios is already pretty tanky due to its 2L size. I could swear I've read that it's affected by the pilot's Skill stat like Sword Cut of Shield Block, but I might be misremembering.

Genaro posted:Remove (or lower) the restrictions on it, and just it's a powerful attack that sits in the background, no crazy leaps of writing required Z3-2 got it pretty much right with regard to the restrictions and power of the TSC.

WrightOfWay posted:The non-MAP version not being an ALL attack is kind of weird, though. I feel like they want ALL attacks to be more spammable, given how rough some of the SR Points are.

God, seeing the Turn X gives me flashbacks to the final battle against it in Alpha Gaiden. One of the most brutal yet awesome fights in the game. Gym truly is the Master of Ham.

Brunom1 posted:Yo, the thing looks positively sleek when compared to the clunky Rick Dom that was its prototype. I think it's the shoulders and the tail that really get me. It looks even sillier in Dynasty Warriors Gundam.

Caphi posted:It's a very short thing that goes between Hell and Heaven and mostly introduces the new villains by way of the first three Reactors. I don't think it's strictly necessary but when all those characters show up again in Heaven they'll be referring to the events in it. You also get a bonus for having a save from it when you start Tengoku, as well the one for the save from Jigoku.

Onmi posted:I love Special Mode, I've done an Ex-Hard mode playthrough once, on SRW OG2. Pretty sure you had to beat EX-Hard on OG2 to unlock Special anyway. And man, if they gave you a random number of parts like that on every game that would be amazing. But SRW always has really fun NG+ stuff. I rather like J where you got to completely customize your spirit pool. Having Break or whatever it was that let you bypass enemy barriers early in the game was so satisfying, given how many enemies had them.

Onmi posted:The other Problem is it's J. And you know how we've been praising Z for how well it's tied together everything from its various plots? Okay now imagine if an SRW did none of that, and each series felt completely divorced from the others. That's J. Yeah that is combined with the worst part of J, the reinforcements. "Oh, you just spent a whole battle fighting FMP mooks? Now here are some ZAFT mooks for an entirely different reason on the other side of the map. But that's what Zeorymer is for.

BlitzBlast posted:That page is for the most part a lot of exaggeration. SRW bosses are by and large a total joke, with the major exceptions being the ones earlier on since by endgame the player's damage output skyrockets to such an insane degree it literally does not matter how much health or whatever barrier the boss is packing. Yeah it really is that easy. I took him out entirely in a single turn, thanks to saving all my maximum Breaks for him, even with him healing up after I did about 1/3 of his health. It was not difficult. The games were a bit harder back when you didn't have so many customization options. Like Alpha Gaiden, for example.

thetruegentleman posted:Others find ways to make things a bit more interesting, though: Fire Emblem has its weapon triangles to prevent any one unit from becoming too powerful (with a few exceptions) and supports, and Spectral Force has its side quests and slightly better character optimization. SRW J had Puzzle Robo, which was a between stage thing where you had to literally puzzle out how to beat the stage with a pre-defined set of resources. it was interesting. I would love to see some move in the direction of base customization or something. You could say the Z Crystal in Z3.2 is a tiny minuscule step that way. But at the same time it would be hard to do a base. battleship customization beyond existing upgrades maybe.

I'm too lazy to try for a cheesy Shining Finger quote, but G Gundam is the way to go.
