So where's the best place to get Japanese PSN credit without ludicrous markup? I'm wanting to get this digital to game share with someone.

General consensus seems to be Nippon-Yasan or Play-Asia.


Other people have said it and I was the same - I was not expecting much coming in, but the game absolutely blew me away. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you give it a shot.

Also Ing loves Kusuha's drinks. :v:

Much appreciated. Is there a price for the download PS3 version yet?

Is the sales tax for foreigners too or just locals?

How were you planning to avoid it as a foreigner? Email Sony and ask for it to be refunded to you?

Didn't know if it was just included. I didn't remember paying it on Extreme Vs when I got it digitally, so I just wasn't aware. I'm guessing it's just included in the price that you see on the store page?

If it shows up in Stage 14 it proooobably isn't the final upgrade even for this game.

I'm just writing it off more as an special attack moreso then upgrade. Similar to how the Brasta got the VFX things.

While it's certainly in poor taste, it's not really much different from a Godannar cockpit. Suzune's pilot suit isn't much different from a Godannar one either, come to think of it.

It's stupid as hell but so are cut-ins of gigantic swaying breasts and poo poo so :shrug:

Listen, I liked Godannar. It wasn't like MuvLuv where all the dumb fanservice was there, yet you were expected to take it super serious. Godannar was dumb and fun as hell, but the cockpits and pilot suits it had need to stay in Godannar.

I actually agree with you wholeheartedly, but it's hard to feel legitimately outraged over a super robot wars female lead having stupid fanservice attached to her at this point. We crossed over that line around Alpha 3 with Kusuha and Selena's pendulum boobs and Selena's BDSM ninja outfit.

It's the sad fact that the venn diagram of "people who like mecha games" and "people who are likely to buy anime girl hug pillows" has a non-zero overlap.

Yeah, at this point the breast bounce cut it in pretty well tied with SRW at this point and people would complain about it being toned down. It's just a darn shame is all.

I just want it known that the fact this game uses Pride for SEED Destiny is probably one of my favorite details.

Y'know with the fact Macross Frontier's movies have been in a few games, I'm really disappointed we haven't gotten secret unit Isamu, especially since in story despite being just a cameo in the movie, directors have confirmed that he's pretty much the best Valkyrie pilot.

Isamu showed up in UX but only as part of an attack.

Also not unless Max Jenius died offscreen he ain't.

Welp, If you'll excuse me I'll be looking for that footage.

Edit: Found it, but now I'm sad. Also drat, UX has decent cut ins.

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.

SethSeries
Sep 10, 2013



ImpAtom posted:

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.

Was that just original Z? I read there was something else that happened in Z3, and due to being in week two of learning Japanese, I can understand a thing.

The only reason I'd be ok with Godannar showing up in Z3.2 would just be Rand and Goh being bros and having a beer while swapping stories of how insane both Mel and Anna are.

Please let this return in Z3.2.....

Final Obari special with it, God Sigma Gravion and both Dancougars.

I'd also really like vanilla Aquarion back. I know that EVOL makes that impossible, but Apollo and crew are infinitely more tolerable than Amata's gang.

The thing about SRW is that usually despite me thinking something is a dumb idea, how it's used is probably going to surprise and probably impress me. Yes, we're probably going to get 3.0 next game. It's going to most likely play out one of two ways, the first being 3rd Impact being stopped by one of the various super robots there. The second is that it may occur, but when they get Shinji back, one of the many reasonable minds will have the conversation that would have stopped 3.0 from going downhill as fast as it did. Chances are that when Misato is being loving insane, Bright Noa or any sane calm pilot is going to remind her that she did egg him on and we didn't know the circumstances of exactly what would happen. This is the series where Wufei of all loving people called everyone on their poo poo for the Zero Requiem. Honestly I'm hoping for some insane bullshit where they use Spiral Energy as to why Eva one now has a God Hand and he and Simon team up to control it and later on Shinji gets the Quad arms Eva as upgrade.

Newtypes and Gundam leads not named Kou Uraki are some of the better reals you can field.

The exception is Kou from 0083 but no one likes him anyway so whatever.

Thems fighting words. The GP-03 is pretty rad as a unit and the Dendrobium is great. Besides it's not Kou's fault his series hates him.

His statement was about Kou, not the Dendrobium.

If you use it, there is no reason not to put a better pilot in it. Throw a Puru in it or something.

Yeah, that was supposed to be more in a joking tone there but point taken. I'm kinda awestruck at the idea of slapping a Puru in the Dendrobium though. That's pretty awesome.

Kira is an okay guy in the Zverse.

Honestly I'm generally okay with shows I don't like showing up in SRW because sometimes I like the SRW versions.

I can get behind that. Part of my affection for Z has a lot to do with how they fixed Shinn.

Not sure how to make damedaler ok though.

I didn't go too crazy with z3 soundtrack changes. I know I gave all the macross units triangular and Alto got Lion. The Geass crew got 02. Evol got cruel angels bike horn and all the evas had Komm Susser Todd. Hibiki got Yume Iro Chaser as well.

SethSeries

For the final stage I just set the Gurren Lagann theme to the movie version of Sora Iro Days. I think I also wound up using Red Stroke as the Maximum Break theme. I really wish Lowe and crew were in.

I pulled some more up. Before Red Stroke, I used Overpowering from Fist of the North Star: Kens Rage. That soundtrack is so good and gets a lot of use in games with changeable soundtracks. I know me and the roommate used to replace the Seed themes in extreme versus with North Star tracks.
