Even if SRW30 outsells all expectations it's probably going to do relatively popular Atelier levels of sales and those gave up the dub ghost a while ago despite have 1/10th as much voiced dialogue as SRW.

Willo567 posted:what is it with idols and robots, not counting macross. I mean "not counting macross" is kind of hard to do because Macross is a major influence on that. Idols and robots go together because Macross made them do so. Even beyond that it's because the basic themes of mecha go well with an idol style group. Large personality types with their own distinctive marketable gimmicks translate easily from pop group to pop group in a robot. (And vice-versa, which is why people drawing the Wing Boys as musicians or whatever goes so naturally.)

Give us a Symphogear game but instead of being based around music idols it is about cowboys and instead of action it is a JRPG. Keep the music.

Psycho Landlord posted:Because it clashes super heavily with aesthetic and mood of the entire rest of the show and the writers didn't have the chops to make that clash in tone work, basically. It just seemed out of place and vindictive rather than a statement about the true horrors of war or whatever. While I'm not fond of SEED's ultragore, I think it can go either way. The shift from clean to horrible deaths can be very effecting to someone and SEED at least pretty much exclusively uses it at points where it is supposed to be uniquely awful. (i.e: deadly weapons of mass destruction or what is emphasized as a particularly tragic death.) I know there are people who like SEED who feel that the unexpected violence made the scenes hit harder and I think the "actually it's just a GURO FETISH" poo poo comes from people's dislike for SEED causing them to reach for the absolute worst interpretation of something. It's possible for a show to not work for you without it secretly being a sexual fetish. It's also possible to just not like extreme gore in a show. You don't need to make it something about the development team's character with no evidence besides "I want to hate them for making the wrong show." As far as it being mean and vindictive, it's not really something that stands out to me in Gundam as particularly mean or vindictive. If I had to point to a Gundam show where pretty much every death felt like someone's barely-contained anger boiling out it would be AGE which may not have goresplosions but sure loves pretty gross deaths none the less.

chiasaur11 posted:Yeah. The original Gundam got bloody too, but it scaled to the rest of the mood, and usually punctuated a major plot beat. Char's legendary headshot was one of the goriest moments in the show, but it came as a climax to his arc, not just at random. I mean I have to be fair and say that Blue Cosmos is an entirely reasonable and plausible villain taken in the context of the past decade. They are a group of rich influential racist assholes who are entirely inept and cruel and yet continue to make things miserable for everyone because it makes them money and lets him kill people they don't like. They literally have a plot about how they blamed a horrifying pandemic on 'those people' and everything.

The one thing I am really holding out hope for is that the DLC isn't primarily Gundam based. I know it's the easiest way to add 'new' units to a game but I really want to see it used for something cool and not just another mobile suit in a game that will already be overwhelmed with quality mobile suits. Give me something fun to put Shiro in goddamn it.

Justin_Brett posted:I don't think the DLC will be too MS-heavy just because it has to be stuff most of the playerbase would drop money to get. Even if they weren't picked with the fact 30 was getting an official release in mind, not every SRW fan is gonna be huge on Gundam. I mean to be fair SRW games often feature plot splits that boil down to "Do you want Gundam" or "Do you want everything else" so there must be at least some folks who are just in it for the Gundam,

biracial bear for uncut posted:Am I loving up in X by basically never fielding Wataru or anybody else from his initial appearance in X as long as other characters/mechs are available? No. Wataru is a good unit but you'll survive without him if you don't want to. SRW is *very* generous about leveling and if you have a low-level unit get the kill (especially with an experience booster) they will gain shittons of levels so if you ever need to level him later just let him kill a few things. The only units you suffer for not using at the Mazingers because they are tied to getting the bonus ending path.

chiasaur11 posted:The first two movies were briefly available on the Gundam youtube channel, so they might pop up again. It's also worth noting that we haven't actually had a new Gundam series in five years. Just a Build Divers thing and movies. There's not a New Shiny Thing to get excited about in the same way there was a while ago. You don't hear people talk about it much because aside from the constant SEED arguments or discussing the 1/3rd of a story that is Hathaway's Flash there's not a lot of fresh meat.

IBO is also not a super easy SRW to work in. In some ways it suffers from the SEED/OYW problem in that the first season is largely a desperate attempt to get from Point A to Point B and you end up having to stretch the plot a lot to compensate for that. (Which is why they love teleporting to other dimensions to force it.) It also doesn't quite slot as easily or smoothly in adventures as some other Gundam series in terms of big setpieces. I would argue it isn't really until Season 2 that it gets to a point where it'd slot more naturally into SRW but Season 2 relies heavily on the Tekkaden making terrible decisions and without that you... don't have much of a plot really. It doesn't even have a real final battle. I'm sure it'll show up in a mainline game before long but it isn't like Narrative or whatever where you can just slap it in with two stages and be done or 00/Wing where you can just use the movie plot. I feel like IBO will end up like AGE or G-Reco where it gets one game and then gets shelved for a while since it can't even do the "Well we're post-series" thing without rewriting the end of the series in a way that removes a lot of the character from the series. Tekkaden being safe, healthy and no longer having to kill themselves to survive is sort of no longer Tekkaden. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Sep 23, 2021 |

Kanos posted:This is a big thing. Even the organizations and people they end up dealing with are mostly forced upon them by being the least-of-all-bad-options in the moment. Tekkadan sailing off and making a blood oath to the Space Mafia makes less sense if they're good friends with the Super Robot Army, as an example. Yeah. Like they'll write around it, they wrote around Evangelion after all, but IBO is a series based so much on Bad Decisions that it'll take a deft hand to not make it one of those series where you get frustrated about the plot events not getting subverted enough. Though I admit I'd enjoy them going full crazy with it and you can just save everyone and the game ends with Biscuit and Fumitan making an amazing dinner for everyone while you attend Akihiro and Lafter's wedding next to Mika and his two wives.

Vizuyos posted:It's not really unusual for SRW to include series themed around a single collection of renegade teenagers fighting their way through a lonely journey with no allies while being hunted by one or more evil armies, and it's not even that rare for one of those evil armies to be a major human government. And there's plenty of mecha shows where Team Main Character makes some extremely poor decisions and ends up having something blow up in their face. I don't think it'd really be that hard to fit it in. The nice thing about SRW is that if part of a series is a little plot-light, they don't have to include all the filler or monster-of-the-weeks, they can just flip over to another series' plot for a while. The thing is that IBO isn't just about bad decisions but desperate helplessness where you have no support or help and joining the space mafia is one of your best options. You can hit some of those beats for sure but the aura of raw desperation and self sacrifice loses a bit if you have GoShogun right next to you. They've done it before of course bit it involves plots built around it.

Nuebot posted:This actually reminds me of one thing I really, really hope they do for 30: give me a proper new game plus. I don't care if units or characters carried over don't have story dialogue or anything. But please stop letting me unlock cool units for the last like three missions and no more. Zero, Neo Zeong and TTGL are really bad about this; but I think the absolute worst goes to Great Zeorymer in J where you have to forgo most of the other upgrades in the game and jump through all kinds of tedious hoops to get it, then you get it for the very end of the game and while it's incredibly powerful on paper; it's not actually that strong because by that point you'll have upgraded other units to be just as overkill if not even better without needing all of the bullshit to get it every playthrough. I am sad they never really went back to the Unit Shop from W. I'd kind of like the opposite where I can stick people in super lovely gimmick units.
