I like Crowe a lot. My only real problem with him is the 'misogynist' schtick, and that really only gets brought up like twice so whatever. Well, and the fact that like four women want his Shield Bunker, but whatever, it's anime. The dude in Z3 seems boring as gently caress though.

My main problem with Hibiki, and this might be weird, is just what the gently caress is the point of Boost Up? It doesn't seem to be related to his Sphere. It's not really connected to what bit of personality he has. It isn't even particularly connected to his weird backstory/revenge/throbbing scar eye thing. It's just a superpower he has because anime.

Personality-wise Marguerite seemed generally fine (I say this knowing little to no dialogue and going off her attack line delivery only) but good lord that cheesecake design.

The design was alright to me, she was even fully clothed! It was the dumb "push tits together for final attack" cut-in that was dumb.

drrockso20 posted:Kinda makes me wonder why they even bother putting OG characters in these days An original protagonist with corresponding villain faction and plotline basically serves as a sort of trunk for all the other series to branch out of. It also lets you have a designated Final Boss for everyone to unite against without showing favoritism towards one series or another. It makes me sad that they've gone so blah with it because seeing what the new original would be used to be one of my absolute favorite things about SRW. Now I just expect a brown/black haired dude aged 15-25 piloting something that looks like a Gundam with a head swap and with a designated female co-pilot/support who is his love interest. Genion looked pretty promising at the start of Z3 but they don't do anything meaningful with it until the end of the drat game again and Hibiki is pretty loving boring.

Yeah, Marguerite's design was fine (though pants instead of a skirt would have fit her knight schtick better), it was just her cut-ins that were silly.

You wreck Gadlight a few stages from the end and then take on the Anti-Spiral as the real final boss. You get another original in the Epilogue but he's really clearly not a real final boss considering his stats are lovely.

SRW Compact did fine without an original. Just have Don Zauser be the final boss in every game.

I wish SRW had more freedom to do cross-series stuff than they do. I know they have to treat every series in a specific way but maaan would I love to be able to face completely Holy poo poo stuff like that again.

So playing Z2.2, SR points aren't tied to any story stuff, right? Because SR 16 is making me quit.

It seemed like it was related to his being able to summon Genion, which only started from the beginning of the game I believe. But I could have easily missed it being a thing he's had forever, my Japanese is not so great really.
