Who owns the license

I think Satelight and their parent company, since they did the animation, and King's Records, since people contracted under them did the music, are who it would need to be cleared with primarily. But Satelight were behind Aquarion, and King's Records were one of a few companies involved in Cross Ange, so there is precedent there.

Those go up insanely quick. X and T had simultaneous release for their English versions and Akurasu had basic guides up for all the secrets on release with question marks for things still being tested.

I think they sell strategy guides and people mostly figure out the underlying mechanics in the month+ after release. And even then guides aren't totally accurate as we discovered playing our V draft where people definitely got a unit they should not have been able to :v:

I'm curious, who was it?

I'd say either GX or AXZ and XV together. The former's plot would be dead simple to do in a game and isn't terribly intrusive, with bad guys you can easily justify showing up in a stage, while the latter would need some stuff playing nice or a good partner in plot but would end in a grander fashion.

Be aware that while the original characters in T are all good, the lead robot is pretty boring if that might bother you.

So after realizing I remembered literally nothing about Betterman I started rewatching it, and I really forgot everything. Especially how kind of ugly this series is.

The only subs I could find for it were cropped in a truly bizarre way which didn't help matters much.

And keep in mind the game will allow you to put in your own songs to some extent, so that can be considered a bit of a frill.

It almost feels like they liked the Crossbone Gundams themselves more than the plot. It's kinda messed up when you claim a stage is adapting the Steel Seven when five of the pilots aren't even from Crossbone Gundam.

the actual difference is the sereis lists in the gba/ds games were way smaller so they had to do most of the plots or they wouldnt, have a plot. like w has maybe 11 series (not counting separate seasons of the same thing, like fmp and fmp s2, as different series) and t has like 19.

This may be something they shifted to after A, because I've been playing Portable and that game feeling the need to have some plot for every series, if not an outright flaw, does make it flow very oddly. Depending on what route splits you take you can never encounter a Daitarn stage if you don't want to.

If anything it feels like having a popular Gundam with a lot of potential units that could be on its own would be kind of a feature as far as this series goes, especially for the coming future.

I'm hoping Lat is one of the OG people but she's probably some distance down the list past the usual suspects. There's also some returns or debuts I'd be okay with as DLC, but we really have no idea what the standard for them is going to be right now.

That demo gives some insight to how animations might be this game, there's a couple attacks that have odd jump cuts (V-Dash's shoulder cannons for example) which could take some getting used to if it's common.

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.

Yes, but never to do with Battletech and if you haven't it's just a big non-sequitur really.

As I understand it the original setting in X is Wataru, Cross Ange and Gurren Lagaan, so yeah you're gonna see a lot of Embryo (and him being the kind of villain he is also sort of forces him into some importance). T doesn't have a specific core series if that sounds more up your alley.

Even the V upgrades feel a bit overshadowed by how many crazy units that game has. They're both plenty strong, but not Yamato or Mazinger Zero strong.

I noticed they snuck a non-Gablae L-Gaim villain in there at the end so I guess it's either got full plot or Xabungle-style post plot where most of the bad guys from it show up. Emyrs also probably soft-confirms the upperclassmen from Knights & Magic since he's a bit less important, not that anyone really assumed they wouldn't be in.

Also, the datamine suggests that for GGG vs Betterman the brave robots will be substituted by the J-Decker characters, but GaoGaiGo, Katetsujin V2, Final GaoGaiGar and Betterman will be units

My guess is that since GGG vs Betterman isn't animated, it would be hard to animate the new brave robots since there's no animated material, and they didn't want to just bring the old GGG units and not have the new ones as well, so they decided to just substitute them with the J-Decker characters

I hope that last point isn't their logic, since really it would be a massive dick move to not give them to you when getting them back on the team is most of the plot of Hakai-Oh.

Honestly, if it was Might Gaine I could see where they were going with that connection, but J-Decker is a weird one. I guess Gridman is technically sorta kind of a police officer too?

Well, a lot of J-Decker is discussing how human the robots can or can't be, and Gridman kinda does the same thing too by having a bunch of Akane's creations gain singularity. Not as obvious as mixing the two isekai shows, but it definitely works.

At least Resurrection is probably the default Code Geass thing now like Prince of Darkness for Nadesico, so they can add that stuff in a later game. Not that it's too relevant a consolation now, of course.
