AradoBalanga posted:What's more, is that unless you take the route split where Bardiel appears, it appears that Mari joins by default and Asuka goes bye bye. And, on top of things, there seems to be an extra choice on the Bardiel stage if you do activate EVA-03: have Shinji defeat Bardiel on his own, or let him wuss out and let the dummy plug do the work. There is but even if you beat it, Shinji gets Dummy Plugged so I'm not clear what the choice does.

TheManSeries posted:So, seeing as I just finished Big O, can someone explain to me what they do to it in this game? I heard it kinda gives it an ending and I'm rather curious. They give it the canonical ending where you talk Big Venus down from resetting things, but mixed with the original plot. A lot of what Big O does in SRWZ is pretty much entirely original.

Ah, no, I was talking about Z3. In Z1 due to the meta-plot stuff, Paradigm City is like this weird dimensional sidehole and pretty much all the plot ties into that.

Pureauthor posted:I wasn't paying much attention but I think they just handwaved it with Shinn not being able to concetrate or something. Shinn is feeling distinctly unmotivated, depressing and without focus since everyone he knows is missing and his peace has been ripped away from him. He gets his groove back when he returns to Orb and defends it against enemy attacks. Rascyc posted:Yeah I use the instrumental version of RX-0 pretty much everywhere Give Amuro the Delta Plus. The Delta Plus is loving amazing. As far as the Nu goes: Amuro's ace bonus and the Nu's HUB are both Newtype Funnel-focused but its strongest attack is a melee attack.

Yeah, PP is a bit too plentiful this game without much to spend it on if you're actually upgrading units. It's a bit more viable for a no-upgrade run but there's no standout like SP Regen/Continuous Movement.

Rascyc posted:These are just tied to evasion IIRC. I haven't touched a terrain upgrade since like SRW-A. Honestly despite the SP system nerfs it's still a very abusable system, especially for pilots who have the seishins that double up on the squad (why do these exist?) so avoiding damage is still trivial. The double-up spells exist to justify using protagonist as squad filler. Pretty much every protagonist has one which makes them viable as a backseat driver. Kouji has Iron Wall +, Trider can heal both members of the squad, most Real pilots has Focus or Invincible plus and so-on. It basically makes them more viable as backseat drivers compared to the dedicated support characters who have more supporty spells. It also makes it easier for them to keep them support characters alive. Like, it's a lot more viable to pair Wing Zero and 00 Rasier together because Heero's Focus + and MAP attack are better backseat material while Setsuna's Morale + and Move Again and ALL attack make him a better frontseat driver.

Rascyc posted:Seriously when the TTGL support units join you, they're 2L sized units if I recall correctly. Their assist attacks hit SO HARD on nearly everything despite having like 3k base damage ranges or something generic. The Evas simiarily are 1Ls and hit hard as well. The TTGL units are crazy loving good for almost the entire game because of their size. Space King Kittan was capable of keeping up damage-wise with Mazinger Z God Scrander.

Prism posted:Doesn't being so big give them a hit penalty? Or are most of the enemies large enough/slow enough that it doesn't matter and the damage scaling is more important? You can upgrade accuracy or just use Attune/Lock-On/whatever to let them hit small things.

Endorph posted:I read something about them dropping hints about Diebuster being in the next game: can you confirm/deny? Is it just a wink wink/nudge nudge reference to it or does it seem like it has an actual chance of happening? I want to set everyone's music to Groovin' Magic. There are no 100% direct references to Diebuster but Gunbuster's 'plot' isn't resolved this game and the place where it is really really invites Diebuster to be a very easy inclusion. There didn't flat-out say Diebuster will be in part 2 but Diebuster has a really really good chance of being in Part 2. Better than any other series I can think of.

Yeah, if I didn't dislike Kira he would have probably been a top ace just on that MAP move alone, let alone his pretty great ALL attack. As it stands he got to be Shinn's backseat buddy instead.

That wouldn't actually happen. SRW doesn't tend to play favorites that way and Z Kira is a different character by this point anyway. Besides, he was already in SRWK with Kira. If they were gonna do it they woulda done it there.

I really have to wonder how Z3.2 is going to handle things with regards to Z3.1. Several Aquarion EVOL characters are living or dead and Asuka can avoid her canonical fate entirely or get eaten by an Angel. Even if Asuka comes back in Rebuild 3.0 they'd have to justify her eyepatch somehow or another. Not to mention that apparently Char can be recruited/not recruited?

Ethiser posted:What? Does Macross 7 have the Dynamite Explosion combo attack? Basara didn't have the song so I assumed the combo attack was gone as well. Basara gets the song and the combo attack later in the game. A good number of combo attacks are likely to return as upgrades in Z3.2. Freedom doesn't have his because Infinite Justice isn't in the game, Shin Dragon/Getter likely don't so they can unlock them in Part 2, ect.
