It just feels like a better use of my gashamonies since I'm F2P to go for things that have multiple SSRs. X-O's draw rates are really bad, though, even for a mobile game.

>>13959480

Even with its size being reduced in the image, Aria's unit at best would be in sword form as large as the hand of the valzacard.

>>13959501
The rate of getting SSRs does not increase the more SSRs there are to get, and I imagine the Pinpoints up the rate in which you get them.

I've never used one myself because there's nothing that I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE RIGHT NOW, but I can see why someone would want to.

>>13959501
As long as they don't go full retard like the Granblue fiasco it's not that bad.

>>13959530
Long story short, Granblue Fantasy is a decently popular RPG-themed mobage.
They recently got caught for releasing a new SSR character in their gacha... but secretely gave it a much lower rate of appearance than any other SSR characters so you had to roll even more to get it. Cue thousands of angry refund requests when it came to light. It actually made the news and clued in the japanese government that mobages need a lot more policing.

If you want it in detail this guy explains it pretty well.

>>13959588
That's interesting. I have to give FF Record Keeper credit for avoiding this. They've said the 3/4/5* rates out loud for quite a while now (62/25/13%, respectively), and by and large that's what's been happening. I think they should reduce the 3* probability and pool, though, because the game's been out for a year and a half and the power creep is WRECKING Level 20 3*++ realm synergy items (as in, "item game is from matches game stages you're playing = stat boost").

>>13959641
I thought the rates were bad but with a 11 Rare Relic Draw I got two Character specific 5* weapons I don't think it's completely terrible

>>13959641
how is Record Keeper?

I was playing another iOS game emulated but it will not load. Shame because it was an okay pokemon clone

You can only save one of these 2 options

Kamina and Kittan
or
Every Fafner Pilot who dies between RoL, Dead Aggressor and Exodus

>>13959702
You imply this is a choice, I'd rather save the Fafner pilots than those two anyday.

>>13959702
I don't give a shit about Fafner, so the first choice I guess.

>>13959692
>Shame because it was an okay pokemon clone
The one where Pokemon are cute girls? Or something else? Anyway, Record Keeper is pretty good and way less hostile to F2P players than other mobile games.

>>13959681
I went 0/16 on Tifa's Master Fist banner so now I'm saving the 200 I had left for the anniversary banners and possibly lucky banners. I think I'm up to..209? My JP account abuses rolling gasha for fabulous prizes. It costs a bit more per banner (70-75), but I walk away with more stuff so I don't need to pull as often.

>>13959702
Kamina and Kittan.

I'd rather save a manly duo than a bunch of kids.

Do you know what I would spend 20,000 USD on? Not a collection of bits, that's for sure! Probably invest it, really.

>>13959702
Probably the first two on the first run and the whole group on the latter, because I like using the people I save on the file I save them on and I wouldn't want my first run to be 70% Fafner units.

Its pretty good, but kinda relies on your FF nostaliga boner. I'm completely F2P and am still having fun with all the content, but I amn't quite at the level to beat Ultimate Bosses, and I haven't gotten through all the Elite dungeons. The main bottleneck for me is grinding for orbs to make the better abilities, the items I've gotten just from rolling on random banners has been enough to equip me for most content so far.

>>13959740
You wish you could pull off the pop'd collar look as well as Kittan could.

>>13959588
>It actually made the news and clued in the japanese government that mobages need a lot more policing.
Sad thing is they should've had the foresight to see this kind of shit coming, it's not the first time it's happened but it's one of the largest instances.

A couple years back there was even a law passed because most MMO's were ripping people off hundreds and thousands through a cash shop gashapon scheme which was banned both in Japan and abroad.

Sure we can always talk about stupid people wasting thousands on cash options that devs fart out in minutes. But the average person doesn't usually have much foresight or experience of better to know otherwise, doesn't matter if they're rich, poor, addicted or mentally ill.

>>13959747
You got Desperado AND Dreamstage? Holy fuckballs, you lucky son of a bitch.

>>13959756
Orb grinding fucking sucks because the dailies are just NOT FUN.

>>13959795
>you lucky son of a bitch.

I wish I had the luck I had in FFRK in Bootleg SRW, I'm in serious need of a Nu Gundam for upgrading and I'm not even getting luck in finding shards.

But if I want to talk FFRK I probably need to bench my Fran due to Laguna taking my auxiliary space.

My FFRK group goes Tyro, Main Melee fighter, White Mage, Black Mage, Auxilary member
Those aren't my members besides Tyro just a general idea of what I work with as a formation.

>>13959792
Yeah, it's easy to deride someone from the position of hearing about it later, but humans are amazingly weak to gambling. It's why casinos get heavily regulated and there are agencies to help people with gambling addictions. I hope stuff like this causes governments to regulate mobile games more like the slot machines they pretty much are.

Actually, in some ways gatcha games are even worse than regular gambling, because with regular gambling at least you have the chance of winning actual money instead of just a picture of a girl or virtual sword or whatever.

>>13959702
What would you even gain from saving Kamina & Kittan. A subpilot who has to share robots who doesn't even get Spiral Power and a mediocre side character in a literal memebot.

At least with the Fafner kids between the Siegfried and Gordian Crystals you'd have an entire army of walking death.

>>13959795

Its not too bad if you've got a proper team which can sweep the + badguys, but its hard getting all the team needed for that. My FF6 and FFX teams are ridiculous, but my FF7 team has to be carried hard by Cloud and Seph, and thursdays are a clusterfuck because noone has FF3 characters or equipment. I do kinda wish they could make them more fun somehow, but apparently they're mixing the Dailies up in a few months to put in ++ Difficulty, so that might help.

>>13959808
Do you have Sentinel/Stormlance Grimoire? 'cause I could understand people using Tyro if they had one of those.

My slot machine luck has been so bad at giving me mage-gear (Magical Mog and Wyrmfang; that is IT) I basically can't use a black mage who's not Lulu, and it's hard finding a slot for her because I really, really need 2 people who can use Breakdowns. If I could get a relic on someone who has 4/5* support, I could make them one of my physical DPS characters. At least I have Squall's SSB, level 80 Lightning, and her Blazefire Saber for damage.

>>13959812
The only Mahjong that should be played is Memory Mahjong.

>>13959825
>Do you have Sentinel/Stormlance Grimoire?

Stormlance, I already mastered that and the Celebration Grimoires for when Synergy weapons outdamage it since I have Tyro do whatever I need him to do and he's almost always a frontline fighter.

I'm waiting on the FFIV event to get the wardrobe change for Rydia and a proper weapon for Kain.

>>13959819
>but apparently they're mixing the Dailies up in a few months to put in ++ Difficulty, so that might help.
1) ++ Daily is going to happen soon (JP got it around the anniversary). It's 30 stam x 3 stages, and the drop rates on 4/5* orbs is higher.
2) Sometime in June, probably, or maybe July, they're resetting the dailies and their first-time rewards to make a permanent collection event where you get gysahl greens from enemy drops or as the "always clear" item and you use the gysahl to buy stuff like blank MC1s and 2s, orbs, and at one point accessories from Ultimates. they're also making the rewards for Dailies match up with Orbfests: So 2/2/3/4/5/5* orbs on the first-time clears.

>characters get bonuses if the character, equipment, and world are the same

>>13959886
Well, character bonus is only 10 levels' worth, but they get +50% exp. Equipment bonus is +30 levels, which is why 3*++ weapon RS is usually barely 5* level or maybe a bit more. The more a piece of equipment gets per level, the more it'll get with RS.

>>13959588
Wasn't GF one of the most popular mobage out there? Because there's actual characters instead of cards and such?
I hope this deals a great blow to mobage and gets regulated much more. Or better yet kills it completely.

>>13959702
Every fafners

>>13959916

The Item Bonus level is actually dependent on the level of the item.

Level 1-4 +15
Level 5-9 +20
Level 10-14 +30
Level 15-19 +40
Level 20-24 +50
Level 25-29 +60
Level 30 +70

Of course, its usually not worth it to try making a 5++ item (unless you're relying on Retaliate). The softcaps on Attack and Magic make getting past 300 or so have a lot of diminishing returns.

>Actually, in some ways gatcha games are even worse than regular gambling, because with regular gambling at least you have the chance of winning actual money instead of just a picture of a girl or virtual sword or whatever.
Then imagine the horror of combining cash shop + gacha + gambling + virtual items into some kind of monstrousity.

Because that is what I was talking about being outlawed years back.

Idea was that you'd pay cash on the cash shop to enter a lucky dip type grab bag for items. These would be regularly refreshed every few weeks to create urgency and with various items of varying drop rates with the top prizes being stupidly rare and common items being not even good for toilet paper with ridiculously high success rates. Sometimes some of the items in these promotions would be released on the cash shop itself for triple the price to egg you into trying your luck, so idea was it might be 'cheaper'.

Some particularly dickish games then proceeded to drop in mystery prizes into these lucky dips as the top prize. Then it turned out you had to collect a set of them from various dips to even open them, they were worthless on their own in true gasha style.

Ultimately the kicker was that when you got the full set the mystery prize was ANOTHER lucky dip for a single prize and the rates and item distributions were virtually the same as the regular ones, just with a unique top prize.

I can think of numerous MMO's that pulled this shit but you might have even accidentally seem some firsthand so I don't need to name any.

>>13959702
Fafners because I actually felt sad when they died. Kamina's death is dramatically required for Simon's character development. And Kittan dies so late in the show, you barely notice he's not there.

>>13960115
>Kittan dies so late in the show, you barely notice he's not there.

I very much missed King J-Der in the last few stages of BX when I let him die. If Space King Kittan was a good enough unit (It's 2L, at the very least) it'd be missed.

>>13960046
so having a non FF4 character with a FF4 weapon in the FF4 realm gives the weapon a little buff?

>>13959702
Fafners because I felt sad.

>>13960128
Being 2L is all he has going for him, and even then Gimmy and Darry come earlier usually. J at least has subpilots, ridiculous attack power, and an utterly broken barrier.

>>13959879
I thought Masaki loved the spirit of wind? Is he planning to make Ryuune and the other girls his mistresses?

>>13960148
Can Cyfis even have children with Masaki?

>>13960147
>even then Gimmy and Darry come earlier usually.

Well, we don't know how this game would play out. He might come pretty early. The anon never specified, but if Kamina's up for grabs and we already have Fafner timeskips we're probably going to have him in the first half/third of the game and keep him for most of it.

Also, I might be forgetting, but didn't he have a barrier too? And his attack power would be great in a game that included his finisher as more than a HE DEAD animation.

>>13960148
La Gias allows polygamy

>>13960117
Actually yes, SMT Online was in fact one of the most infamous cases of it among other bullshit it pulled, mainly because it actually is a Japanese based game so got hit directly. But that game had so many disgusting problems all round. That is disregarding the horrific localization which actually managed to make everything worse to the point of being a small internet legend in itself.

Some other known ones off the top of my head I think did it at some point are Cosmic Break (though it was fairly mild I recall), S4 League, ZT Online.

>>13960086
>>13960117

PSO2 has a roll you can play using points gotten using real money to get costumes or parts for Casts. Before the law passed, if you won all the costumes in a current rollist, you'd get a special costume, like a Rappy suit.

>>13960173
Didn't know about PSO2 also doing that, how roughly expensive was it? I'm interested if it was a relatively small annoyance or mortgage defaulting mugging level.

>>13960128
>I very much missed King J-Der in the last few stages of BX when I let him die.
King J-Der was a living god in BX, when you think about the equivilent of it from other games you the funny realization it's something like if Demonbane or G.Zeorymer left you before the end.

>>13960046
The Attack soft cap is 590 and the Magic soft cap is a lot higher than that. Attack is pretty easy to reach since there more and stronger buffs for it than Magic.

>>13960133
Yeah.

>>13960191
There's one gacha that's 200 AC/yen each draw that has costumes and other items.
Then another one costing 500 AC/yen per draw that is costumes only.
One thing noting in PSO2 is that every costume or item in gacha is resellable in the player shop and thus buyable with normal ingame currency.

>Star Sword Emerald
>Pile Funnels
>Galaxy Beam
>Twin Star Sword
>Pile Drill Rocket Punch
>Star Sword JUUMONJI GIRI
>Star Sword Dankuukougaken (requires Sugata)

Then once he gets the RED X UPGRADE or whatever the fuck it's officially called, you can throw flight on that list and also add:

>Tau Missile (new finisher)

And probably at least one other move, haven't finished everything yet of course.

Modern remake games have always been a mixed bag or been straight up worse than it's original.

>Impact
Horrific stage count bloat, painfully slow to play as well, took forever to do anything.

>MXP
Massive HP bloat, completely stripped down barebones GUI, huge load times when released.

>AP
Again massive HP bloat, actually bugged accuracy/evade, dropped music from the original.

>XO
Mostly randomly re-ordered some GC stages and dropped a few secrets I recall. Though the extra gameplay features minor as they were weren't completely bad.

>OGs
Overall improvement for OG1 but the OG2 half of the game was just poorly balanced with the gameplay re-design and randomly got rid of the excellent final stage from the GBA game.

>>13960653
Do it anyway, I want to know if it's just dumb nitpicking or actual issues and a game not worth buying

>>13960682
>bugged accuracy/evade
I thought they just had stupidly low modifiers on everything because they forgot to compensate for Mobility not factoring into Accuracy anymore

>>13960689
The calcs are actually bugged, I think it's a rounding error somehow. But it is possible to miss with 100% hit rates and get hit with 0% evade rates in AP on rare occasions, I've seen it happen often enough.

>>13960696
I've had that happen in J once or twice before.

>>13960116

It's going to be filthy easy. OG2 was the only time OG had anything resembling difficulty.

>>13960682
>randomly re-ordered some GC stages

Did they? I thought the only thing they did to the stages was threw like one more in and doubled the Sub Scenario count or something.

>dropped a few secrets

One. They couldn't get the license to Raijin-Oh's OVA, so Kyodai Karakuri Raijin-Oh had to be left out.

If all the changelogs I've seen about GC to XO are accurate, I think it was a net positive remake. It's just, it got thrown on a console that was even more than DOA in Japan and had region lock.

>>13960635
when we get a PV

>>13960724
Everything hits like a truck in OG2 but that doesn't exactly make it anywhere close to difficult either. If anything, DP is the hardest OG has ever gotten due to weird victory/SR point requirements, game over if anyone dies, only having 5-7 units at any time, and only 3-4 of those ever actually being worth a shit. Thank fuck Shu can cheese the hell out of the final boss because that stage is practically a normal lategame SRW stage except you have about a sixth of the amount of units on your side, and only one is endgame worthy.

>>13960741
>only one is endgame worthy.

>>13960745
It's good but it certainly can't afford to sit in range of the battleship for the amount of time it takes to bring it down

Probably. Guest generals might have been okay to use if we could upgrade them.

>>13960734
>It's just, it got thrown on a console that was even more than DOA in Japan and had region lock.
Still sold more than OE amazingly and I think the reason they region locked it despite the 360 being technically region free was because it had a online game component to it. It was where all those weird enemy only combo attacks and crossovers came from.

>>13960769
And that online component later got made into its own game, called Super Robo Gakuen.

>>13960660
I am very tempted to get the english subbed version in April. How good is the game?

>>13960348
No.

Just fucking focus on making new games and new content.

>>13960348

Sure, why not? Those games aged awfully in the case of the GBA ones and MX portable just needs to go back to the regular MX HP levels. Just add R and we're set.

>>13960348
God no, why the fuck would anyone waste their times on a remake of a remake? Or a remake of J?

If they have to remake anything out of those D is the only one that could maybe benefit from it.

>>13960682
OGs and AP were still using the fixed accuracy modifier, and AP was a mix of enemy stats and nerfing the fuck out of player stat growth. There are people in AP who barely have 300 hit at level 99. Nobody in OGs, not even Radha "Worst Stat Growth Type In The Game", is that low.

>>13960660
>>13960803
Also, can Vita copies play with PS4 copies?

>>13960830
AP also had level scaling, and enemy evasion jumped up faster than your accuracy did.

>>13960823
> aged awfully
I've been playing through OG1 for GBA and it looks just fine. What happened to the non-OG GBA games?

>>13960861
Man, AP had issues.

>>13960885

With the exception of J, they all barely had animations. Rifle/sword appears out of nowhere and the unit shoots/static sprite moves forward to slash tier animation.

>>13960885
It's just mechanics. R and D's sprite work generally looks pretty good. To me, at least.

>>13960901
> Rifle/sword appears out of nowhere and the unit shoots/static sprite moves forward to slash tier animation.
Even for the non-generic attacks?

>>13960861
>AP also had level scaling
Oh so that's why grinding so much felt so useless?
Fucking kill me
>enemy evasion jumped up faster than your accuracy did
Ow what? How?

>>13960920

Even for the non-generic attacks. Most of them simply had cut-ins somewhere in the animation to give them more substance and a few lucky ones had special sprites for their finishers. I think Great Mazinger's great booster was one of the lucky ones and if I remember well, Godmars had a sprite showing its back after the slash.

>>13960901
You what?

It's not J but it's certainly not THAT static. Even the ones that don't look as fancy as Forte Gigas still have more animation than what you're describing.

D was slightly better, I seem to remember Garland got out of it pretty well and Daltanius wasn't terrible. But compare those to, say, Mazinger, who's borrowing animations from R and A, and you'll see.

>>13960982
Oh I know, R was basically a slight step up from A anyways. I think even the Excellences only got like 2 sprites each, if even that, the only things with any real animation were projectiles and beams.

But OG1, OG2, and D have bits of what was obviously leading up to however they managed to do the animations seen in J.

J was pretty much a DS game in the GBA. It had no business being that well done sprite and animation wise in a gba.

>>13961034
Well it helped that a large amount of animations could be basically copy-pasted between units (Aesties, Brains, a lot of Gundam related stuff like the METEOR packs, etc) and reusing a lot of stuff like that exploding ground animation during a lot of attacks, Zi Gadin's finisher sharing part of its animation with Blaster Voltekka, etc. A lot of really clever reuse was involved.

>>13961034
too bad REINFORCEMENTS

>>13960385
Also things:

>Eccentric Tau Missile (also needs Sugata)
>Secret Finishing Techinque: Punch You Like Your Bitch Ass Had It Coming All Show
>Twin Sword Spear (possibly followed by FIRE ALL THE WEAPONS)


Time to go find the movie. One other question, though - does the movie expand on that fucking fox talking to the drama club president about the Cybodies, or is that never going to get explained at all?

>>13961034
I wouldn't quite say that. Compare animations between the series that got into J and W, most of them got touched up on at the very least or heavily altered (FMP units). And W's animations were less pretty than L's most of the time.

J wasn't bad, but it's more the middle ground between DS and the GBA.

>>13961049
And SEED.

>>13961073
I believe its the latter, Matt.

About the gacha shit in games earlier, are there any cases of a mobile game consciously-skewing gacha rolls depending if the player is F2P or pays money? Because I swear that's what Brave Exvius is doing. I quit because I kept getting the same characters over and over despite the 3* pool actually being fairly-large and that being the most-common rarity type in the gacha currency pool.

>>13961049
More like the stages are too big and the reinforcements rarely spawn near you. It's not even that the enemy density is THAT BAD.

>>13960930
>Ow what? How?
Weird mathematics. I think when they were programming the game they were asleep at the wheel and gave mooks player-like stat growth or something.

>>13961096
>More like the stages are too big and the reinforcements rarely spawn near you. It's not even that the enemy density is THAT BAD.

like that one bigass stage where enemies spawn in the 4 corners?

>>13961100
That one stage is a heavy outlier, but illustrates the point well.

>>13961109
The Orb stage where you get your upgraded original is I think 48x48 and enemies I think only ever appear at the bottom.

>>13961073
>>Secret Finishing Techinque: Punch You Like Your Bitch Ass Had It Coming All Show
Only usable against antagonists who are as dickish as Head.

>>13961073
I don't think they cover that. So all in all how would you rate the show?

>>13961109
>outlier
Not really, it's just the worst of the bunch. Reinforcements nearly always spawn on the opposite side of the map from where the previous wave was, and nearly every stage has reinforcements. SEED, Layzner, Brain Powered, Tekkaman, G Gundam, and Fury grunts are particularly bad when it comes to spawning a longass distance away, and that's like half of the cast list.

/srwg/ Soldiers.

I, your lord and master, am bored.

Therefore I believe it is time.

Time for me to start a /tg/ quest thread

an SRW quest thread.

There will be fights, there will be robots, and there will be waifus.

You know that I will not disappoint. You know that I will give you what you want.

Now bow before me and yell out, to the highest mountain your yell of agreement.

Those of you who know my path is justice and support this idea must now all yell out SHIT POST.

Also it will be a one time thing since I probably won't have the attention or desire to keep it going for more than one thread.

>>13961125

I agreed the moment you said waifus.

>>13961114
I'm probably going to rewatch that punch multiple times, it was a thing of beauty.

>>13961115
Pretty good overall. It's episodic and a lot of people hate that, but I don't, so it's cool. The lesbian duo taking over a portion of the show was annoying, although I think it's far more annoying that the "fusing with their mech" thing happened literally one time and was never done again (I would have loved to have seen Takutoburn at the very least). Also, the show had one episode too few, I feel like the ending could have used more - in particular, explaining what the fuck was up with the drama club president, but also extending the Samekh battle because it was way too short for something with that potential threat level.

Overall, it was... let's say a 7.5 or so out of 10, with 10/10 being like Gaiking LoDM and Xabungle and 0/10 being things like Tobikage and New Dunbine. I generally liked it, but it could have used a bit more, and there were some problems.

>>13961125
Yeah.

>>13961169
>0/10 being things like Tobikage and New Dunbine

Now I'm not knocking your taste cause I've never seen either of these shows, just what SRW did to them, but what makes them so horrible? Tobikage was on my backlog and I never really see discussion of it so that was surprising to read.

>>13961169
That seems fair, about the same rating I'd give it. I do want to see it in a SRW game just to see those attacks again and the music. Though it brings up a problem with the plot again.

>>13961193

LIBIDO

>>13961125
You had me at waifus.

SHIT POST

>>13961201
Well I mean the whole "Cybodies cannot leave this place until all the maidens have their seals broken"

>>13961186
I've said it multiple times, so I'll get to Tobikage second, but I'll start with New Dunbine.

New Dunbine's is a reincarnation tale involving the reincarnation of Shou fighting the reincarnation of Burn. Except this Shou is shacking up with Rimul, because apparently Marvel Frozen was completely forgotten about by Byston Well in EVERY SINGLE OTHER STORY, and their relationship has all the fire left in a pile of ash. There's about two cool characters in the show, one of whom never gets any focus and dies in the most pathetic way possible and the other one being the original Shot Weapon, still alive because Jacoba Aon was an even BIGGER fucking idiot than the show made her out to be, and he's planning evil plans, and it looks cool! ...until it turns out his plan is to somehow launch a nuke in the Aura Road to do things that we never find out because he wants to die or some stupid shit. The mech combat is barely there, the villain only becomes interesting when he realizes what Shot's plan is and tries to stop him... and is immediately murdered by the PROTAGONIST for his troubles. Because the protag's a fucking moron.

Oh, but it does have the mythical, fantastic creatures like the original Byston Well! Like all the fairies... wait, no, there's only one of those. And all the big horrible animals... dragons die like mooks in this and the only other animal shows up for about two seconds. No, instead of those, let's focus on some horrible tentacle centipede wiggling its arms as the only thing moving onscreen for like eight fucking minutes, that's fun.

Sirbine and Zwauth look cool, but they never move. Well, ok, I'll be fair, the painting style they have going on is kind of cool... and vanishes in episode 3, leaving them with barely any movement and no coolness left to them because they still hardly do shit. Yay.


So basically New Dunbine has nothing actually good about it, and what little it does have vanishes by the end. Woo.

>>13961210
Oh the whole thing about finding ninjas to pilot the robot you're piloting right now?

>>13961208
So just bullshit it. Banpresto has reconciled trickier settings before.

>>13961210
Tobikage... Tobikage starts poorly and doesn't get better. I should note that when I go into a series, any number of things can keep me actually continually watching. If the plot's good, I follow for that, if the combat's good I follow for that, if I like the characters I go on for that... Tobikage had me going because I wanted to believe that ONE OF THOSE THINGS WOULD SHOW UP EVENTUALLY. AND IT NEVER HAPPENED.

Ok, so, central plot premise is that a bunch of aliens come to Earth after their homeworld was taken over by a horrible alien empire! They stop by on Mars, and find three people who can pilot their giant robots, which require ninjas to pilot. The group then goes to Earth to search for ninjas.

(if you can see the obvious flaw in that, good job, you're about half the show ahead of the entire cast.)

On top of that, on Mars's pole, they pick up a new friend, who comes from a tribe of what are clearly ninjas who do what are clearly ninja things. This is also not brought up until about halfway through the show, at which point said character "suddenly remembers" he knew of legends of the ship he was on for years and had some sort of device that might help it, but he lost it. Spoilers - it was in his headband the whole time. The entire goddamn show they could have solved multiple central issues by just sitting down and thinking for a second.

Now, most of the Elshank crew wants to murder Joe and the humans who are the only things protecting them, and normally I'd hate that because it's common and also dumb. But I give them half a pass, because Joe is absolutely fucking terrible, as is Rene. (Mike is the best character in the show by virtue of not being horrible, Damian is the aforementioned ninja so fuck him) It's bad enough that Yllbora defects to Zaboom, and... ok Yllbora's a giant fucking glaring idiot too. And it's not like Zaboom are cool villains either, they're just... villainous and there. (word count)

>>13961232
Oh, and if UX made you believe that Hazard Passha was some master schemer, forget it. He's not. He's just the only person in the entire Earth Alliance who's head is not permanently stuck so far into the Earth, it's in the Earth's magma core. Joe's one friend is kind of better than them, but the amount of shit they have to do to convince everyone that the aliens razing cities = evil and the ones avoiding collateral damage with Martian citizens on their side = good is astounding.

But hey, the mech designs are good, right? Eh... I mean, they are, but there's only so many times you can watch the same stock footage sequences of mecha fighting before you go "Jesus Christ do something goddam new already" no matter how good they look. That's sort of why I don't mind old MotW - the new monsters mean new animation every episode, even if there is stock. With Tobikage, that's not there. Also, Tobikage itself is annoying in that there's the central premise of it combining with the main robots, but it doesn't fucking do that very often at some points, which lead to the situation that Bakuryu's really cool dragon form is used LITERALLY TWICE and only wins one battle (though it only lost to Zerokage because of a really bad bout of luck - which brings up the question of why they didn't do it again, but the protags are idiots so.). Why even bother having that form, then? Dunno.

Oh, and then after all that dumb shit, two episodes from the end, it looks like shit is going to go down finally. Hazard is dead, they're going to chase Zaboom back to Radorio and kill him, Tobikage and Zerokage are together, the Elshank goes Golden Glowing Hyper Mode (one of the first in anime, before even Dragon Ball Z!), shoots across the galaxy, and... the final two episodes are fucking clip shows. What in the name of fuck.

So, bad plot, bad characters, bad mech combat... yeah, nothing worth watching there.

>>13961210
>>13961232
Wow, that's...truly awful. Like amazingly terribad. I have a hard time grasping the concept that someone wrote a plot like this.

Why must good mech designs be stuck in plots like this?

>>13961253
As an aside, I think Wings of Rean was better than New Dunbine. See, WoR I can actually see them making decent if they had, you know, actually made a 13 episode series instead of a 6 episode one, because its main problem was that everything was fucking rushed out the door and nothing had time to establish itself. With New Dunbine, I can't really say it would be good unless you did things to the extent of "throw half of this out the window and fill it in with good things."

>>13961208
Spatiotemporal plot devices.

Suddenly Cybodies can fight and move in a limited space outside of the island, represented by the 31x31 grid-based maps.

SRW's bullshit worse.

You know, I don't think that would be as much of a problem in SRW, to be honest... But the real problem is justifying all that effort in the first place.

"Oh boy, we're going to bring these Cybodies into the real world, and then we'll take over the wo- what's that? Robots have been in a thing in our world for like ten years now? Well, uh, our robots are SHINIER!"

It works in Star Driver because Cybodies are well over the tech of Earth at that time, rated to survive nukes (theoretically?) and because it's all secretly a plot by Head to release Samekh to do his own shit because he's a goddamn idiot.

>>13961280
> it's all secretly a plot by Head to release Samekh to do his own shit because he's a goddamn idiot.
You mean a manchild who can't let go of the past.

>>13961280
Not like relative powerlevels have ever been all relevant in SRW anyways. The only "problem" would be getting Tauburn outside of Zero Time before the show is over but I can think of half a dozen ways to write around that off the top of my head already.

>>13961292
A goddamn idiot, yes.

>>13961294
I'm just saying that their primary investor is going to look at it in a multiseries environment and is going to back... I dunno, something else. I'd say some villainous faction, but she actually had a brain in her head, so maybe not.

>>13961305
So what? A small army of alien super robots where all but two of the pilots work for your faction seems pretty attractive. Until your leader turns out to be a total twat anyways.

They were pretty cryptic throughout the show about the nature of the Cybodies and it was also further revealed that the Big Boss was lying to his team the entire time.

Combine two and two together and you can put a scenario where the Big Boss is lying to everybody about the Cybodies own abilities outside of Zero Time.

Ok, so time for my shitty opinions:

Touya: Looks better
Calvina:I'd like the no stockings look more, but her new design is overall better.
Katia: Pretty much the same, but they added way too many "petals" on her new jacket.
Melua: Where do I even begin? Many of the additions are nice, but her new costume is way too over design. Cutting back on a few things (the butterflies, the flower petals, or the pattern on her skirt) would make her look way better.
Tenia: Worse since they took away the hatching on her cheeks, and the shape of her face is worse now.

Morning!

Aaaaand I just spent the last two hours compressing 27 episodes of Gaiking LoDM into 9 stages. Sort of wish I had a proper 10 to add one more in, but I couldn't stretch the other route split without going all Shin Style Filler on things.

Next in terms of final plotting - the early-mid Japan chapters, the start of like half the series, and the continuation of Getter, Mazinger, and pals. Man, this segment alone might take 10 or so parts, not sure how to fix that..

>>13962513
Good Morning Morninganon

>>13962667
>Aaaaand I just spent the last two hours compressing 27 episodes of Gaiking LoDM into 9 stages

I hope you crossed those over with another show or you're gonna hit J levels of SEED stages.

>>13962706
Morning Gigan!

>>13962706
For what its worth, J doesn't actually have that many SEED stages.

There's a couple in the beginning, then a few in the first route split. Afterwards there's no SEED stages until like the Kira vs Athrun fight in the 30s.

KIIIIIIIIIIIIIRA/ATHRUUUUUUUUUUUN is Stage 35
And then Kira becoming Jesus with Freedom is Stage 37.

>>13962795
Then there's the couple in Orb and we won't see another one again until the next route split.

J was really bad when it came to arranging stages for series.

>>13962807
Yeah, it's not the best when it comes to stuff like that.

>>13962819
It could have also benefited from merging some of the stages together or at least slotting in a bit more of the stuff from the individual series considering how freaking big the maps are.

That one Layzner stage in 44 was really bad for that since it was xbox huge but there wasn't enough enemies in the map to warrant it being so big.

PV WHEN?

>>13962807
J was just bad at integration in general.

Why SRW can't have the attack power shown in its base level and in its post-damage modifiers levels like masoukishin does?

What's better for characters like Camille/Shinn on SRW Z1? Counter, Blocking, both or neither?

I was thinking of replacing Counters with Blocking and giving them Attack Again my replay, so with less skills that require levels, that's more PP into boosting their stats

>>13962922
That was one great thing about Zone of the Enders Fist of Mars; it told you exactly how much damage you would be doing if your attack hit. Now it never would if not using IAS because retarded rng, but that's besides the point.

>>13962958
I don't like the randomness of Blocking and I can't remember the last time Counter was useful to me, so I say get rid of both.

EN Save, SP Up, Predict, Morale+, Break Morale Limit, Ignore Size or just straight up boost their stats/terrain ratings.

I'd pick any of these over those two skills.

>>13963105
Oh, and for Attack Again, I wouldn't recommend it on either of those guys unless you're also willing to pump their Skill stat.

Getter, the Dinosaur Empire hacks their way into Darius. Mazinger's first upgrade happens down there and there's a bit of character work on the Zambot cast and the Real protags - and a stage with a lot of Original plot altogether later on - but I dunno if those really count. It's also 90% of the game's LoDM content, so...

>>13962667
>compressed Fafner into around 18 stages
> 12 of those are divided throughout a single route split

It's the only way I could make it work.
Meanwhile Demonbane somehow has 16 stages.

But whatever it works. Ended up with 61 stages for a single playthrough at the end of the day, and a decent looking scenario chart.

This is the second SSR I've gotten out of throwing a ticket into the Base Gasha. And only the fifth SSR of my 14 I've gotten in a random draw. The other four are Gawain, Psyco Gundam, Sword Strike, and (Attacker) Taubern.

And then I got this for free in FF Record Keeper, so at least I won't lose all my follows when everyone jumps ship from Boon (Hastega+Shellga) to Mighty Guard VIII (Hastega+Shellga+Heavy Regen). There's still nothing for Hastega+Protectga+Regen.

I don't like Red XIII, but hey, at least I got my second character relic of 2016 despite doing 38 draws with mythril.

>>13963339
nice

I'm the guy who asked about it last thread. Trying to do the FF7:AC and FF8 events because I get more people but one part of the 8 event is kicking my ass

>>13963339

Lucky you. the free draws only gives me 1-2 stars garbage and only once I think i got 3 stars stuff

>>13963339
Wish I got so lucky in RK, 150 mythril down the drain for 2 Tifa's knuckles and Cid's spear, never got a 5* off the free draw

>>13963205
>>13963253

All these people getting their own custom stories set-up and making it look easy, and here I am unable to even finalize a cast list for a simple concept, let alone a full story.

>>13963352
Well, if you're just starting out, a couple of events'll slip through your fingers. Not much you can do about that. Most of the time characters'll come back around, although it takes a while. There's a feature that'll let you speed this along but it's still about a week and a half away in Global, and the items you use to exchange for characters and MCs aren't exactly easy to get. So you're still being pulled-around by availability and gacha luck for a while.

>>13963354
I've had about half a dozen 3* star days. This is just...weird, honestly. I'm saving up mythril for the next celebration banners and the FFT Event (HASTEGA + 50% ATTACK BOOST ON A 5* SUPPORT WITH GOOD STATS). No, really. Ramza has 168 attack at level 80, same as Lightning.

>>13963370
>So you're still being pulled-around by availability and gacha luck for a while.

and stamina

>>13963358
I'm the guy who got Dreamstage and Desperado in the same draw, I tried getting a 5* in the FF5 event and got nothing there when I really wanted to get my hands on Grand Cross.

So you win some you lose some.

Personally I'm hoping I at least draw a good lance for Kain soon or his ultimate relic in the FFIV event we're bound to have so I can ge up my Rydia.
Wishing for After Years just to have MILF Rydia and Holy Dragoon Kain though.

>>13963390
Well there were times I got super lucky too, during Sephy's MC event I did a 50 draw and got his relic, a staff with shared SB, another staff that wasn't from FF7 and the Diamond pin, during Bartz event I got his air knife, flamberge and the shield. Not going below 100 mythril now unless we get the 25 mythril banners, afterwards saving for Burstfest

>>13963385
That, too.

>>13963390
>Personally I'm hoping I at least draw a good lance for Kain soon
Lucky Banners are your only shot until the Adult Rydia+Yang event. They are probably not going to put any 5* spears in the celebration banners (or maybe just Fang's Glaive and POSSIBLY Sunbath) and the next FF4 event has a gigantic mageboner since it debuts Palom and Porom.

TAY Event would be awesome, though.

>>13963405
How do you guys know stuff about the game in advance, I just figured if we got AC Cloud we're bound to get other outfit changes and adut Rydia must be a shoe-in since FFIV and V used their old sprites instead of getting more detailed to go with the FFVI aesthetic they're going with.

>>13963407
>Lucky Banners are your only shot until the Adult Rydia+Yang event.

I just broke Kain's level cap so I'll be alright with a sword I hate the thought of this but I'm not sure if Jumps hit harder with lances here and Jump spam since he has that Record Materia that makes Jumps hit harder.

I'd be okay with an FFVI remake just upgrading attack animations to look like RK attacks.

>>13963419
>How do you guys know stuff about the game in advance
Global is behind JP by a significant margin. And I've been playing JP kinda on and off since Terada's birthday last year.

>I hate the thought of this but I'm not sure if Jumps hit harder with lances here
I don't think they do.

>>13963419
We are following JP's schedule as far as events go, and there's this

>>13961169
>Overall, it was... let's say a 7.5 or so out of 10
At the very least the animation was completely gorgeous throughout the show and it did have some pretty good humour minus the rather bizaare lesbian arc.

Coming from someone who loves the show the movie was such a middle finger to anyone who liked it. Starts off with probably one of the best pieces of animation we've seen in recent years then just skips to a compilation of the series. With no fucking new scenes or story.

>>13963451
they made a movie?

>>13963425
I have to ask why Guy still isn't in RK, isn't he the third main character of FFII?

>>13963390
I'd rather have MILF Rosa, but that's just me.

>>13963460
Nobody knows, but we're overdue for an FF2 event. So it'll probably be Guy and MC2s for him, Leila, Gordon, Ricard, and Josef. This also means there's a chance for Leila's Hastega at 2x drop rate. It's functionally the same as Boon, but she's way better than Sazh due to being Combat4/Celerity5/Thief5.

>>13963466
Problem with MILF Rosa is that she's covered up with a robe so there's nothing to see.

>>13963470
My favorite is probably any Soul Break that adds ability uses and does an extra effect, I usually save those for friend summons so I don't worry about rolling those.

>>13963454
It's where that fight scene linked is from, not even 5 minutes, that is ALL the new animation in the movie.

>>13963482
>that is ALL the new animation in the movie.

that sounds lazy as fuck

>>13963480
That's fine with me, I like her motherly design in TAY and she doesn't need to wear anything sexual to be cute.

>>13963487
I didn't want anything sexual, I just expected her to wear something more royal instead of looking like a grandma.

>>13963492
Sure anon, sure.

>>13963495
Is it wrong to think a Queen would wear something Queenly?
I mean crap Cecil looks just fine and royal for what he's wearing, then again I should really not think too much on it since the King of Fabul doesn't even wear a shirt until he's been king for 17 years or so.
Damn I'm bored if I'm arguing aesthetics for a fictional world.

This was a pretty fun little romp of a scenario. Ryoma in Black Getter saving Asuka from the EVAs, plasma weaponry installed in both so Ryoma has Plasma Thunder and Asuka has to call out "Plasma Sword!" to use the attack, Shinji using the Getter Scythe, Kaji's alive in something called the Jet Alone, the Invaders taking the form of the Angels, Invader-infested Gendou, Kheele teaming with Cowen and Stinger, the evil Getter Gs piloted by Michiru, Musashi and Kaworu, Rei ending up piloting the Getter Liger after a scene with her and Michiru's spirit, and the final (fought in gameplay) boss being God Getter.

>>13961280
>because it's all secretly a plot by Head to release Samekh to do his own shit
You know, that would work. Just make it so that Samekh is the only Cybody that's actually sealed, and the others can operate fine outside zero time from the start (or possibly after the first seal is broken, and have that happen in the show's debut stage).

It allows the plot to happen relatively unaltered, while still letting the Cybodies participate in the other things going on.

>>13963522
I meant more about the sexual comment, since most people want stuff like that.

But whatever, go do something if you're bored.

>since most people want stuff like that.

I've been around this crap for too long to demand more, I just like when characters look similar to themselves. Amusingly enough Rosa changed more than Rydia who just switched to a black version of her old clothes to what I guess is to reflect her younger colors in her older self.
Long story short Rosa getting to wear a robe feels weird unless they're going for a White Wizard look.

>>13963546
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHAAAAAAAAAAAAARD

>>13963527
It works if you can find a series which lets you create a plot device to work around the Zero Time. Perhaps simply just negating the effects of Zero Time so we're not all constantly stuck on the one island.

Afterall the whole reasoning Star Driver's plot is hard to work with isn't so much the ZT as Samekh being unsealed is an auto game over. You can even see it in the final battle that the second it broke out it pretty much already started enveloping the Earth and prepping it for dinner.

Seems to be a Enokido thing in general since they had the same plot device going on with the Killtgang. The show revolved around intercepting them before they got anywhere near within Earth's space. If they broke through the defenses and got into position they could just instantly consume everyone on Earth from orbit.

>>13963547
Alright then, and now that you mentioned I the robt does look WW-ish.

There are plenty of other series with "auto game over" final bosses that have made it into SRW. That's not really a huge deal.

Really, the Zero Time is the main obstacle, and all you need in order to work around that is a way for the non-Samekh cybodies to get out early.

>>13963571
Demonbane's final in UX allowed your units to tank the funking ST. Samekh is not a problem at all.

Tomorrow (or today if you're from east Asia or a shitposter), the SRW Alpha translation project turns 9 years old.
9 years of 65%

9 years in which the Z series begun and ended.
9 years in which the Masoukishin series came back to life and finished with it 3 following games.
9 years in which [fill the blank]

>>13963571
They handled Samekh just fine in the show with much less than they would have on any game. It's a nonissue

>>13963571
