If not counting it due to remake, then the last was MX... or was it Alpha 3? Either way, I miss Daimos. Looks like it was Alpha 3, but then checking and seeing it was in Alpha 2, I take it was post-plot by that point and just there for the grand Alphinale? Daimos certainly puts on a good showing in A. Even if the storyline was a bit broken for me due to my route picks scattering it over the two playthroughs. Although, owing to the tiny portraits of old, Richter and Heinel having the similar cases of "resting uncomfortably-constipated-face" meant I might've had moments where I confused the two. On my -purely hypothetical- "Anime I've Seen In SRW That I Would/Wouldn't Watch Tier List" Daimos gets placed in the "Would Watch -If I Can Find The Director's Cut Where Secretary Miwa Dies In The First Five Minutes" tier. So, not bad.😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's post-script in Alpha 3, though it's far from just being there for the sake of it. They still have roles to play. Like Richter with the Voltes storyline, which takes until Alpha 3 itself to end. Which is something of a turnaround since Heinel played something of a support role to him in the Daimos storyline in Alpha 2. 1 minute ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Daimos certainly puts on a good showing in A.

I mean, it's deliberate since they're both part of the same loose production trilogy, so Richter and Heinel are meant to be similar, hahaha. I'd say, perhaps one of SRW's more unique takes for Daimos had to be Compact. 1 minute ago, Interdimensional Observer said: On my -purely hypothetical- "Anime I've Seen In SRW That I Would/Wouldn't Watch Tier List" Daimos gets placed in the "Would Watch -If I Can Find The Director's Cut Where Secretary Miwa Dies In The First Five Minutes" tier.

SRW adapts pre-existing storylines, so it can't be avoided on that front. Still, SRW is all about subverting the worst aspects of them. Some still need to happen for the sake of plot, but even then it's not all gloom and doom. Like, as I once narrated in my SRW T playthrough, the colony drop from ZZ Gundam still happens... but instead of squashing a city and killing countless people as it happened in the anime, the colony is redirected and allowed to "softly" land, avoiding a catastrophe. In a different SRW game it might've been stopped altogether. However, the colony drop itself still happens since it feeds into the Rayearth storyline. So it's basically a case-by-case basis.

I mean, I would say it can be serious, and it can be "epic", though that doesn't mean it ends up being "dark". SRW is on "the brighter side of epic" overall I would say, from my limited experience with the franchise. It depends partly on the source material being adapted, and probably from SRW game to game based on the writers' moods for the day. Some of it is quite light and fluffy anime junk, on the other hand, Victory Gundam in SRW30 springs to mind. Poor underaged and pure Uso is subjected to trauma of a sexual kind, twice.😐 (Never watching that shit for sure.)... 13 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Right, I understand. Kind of like a "good timeline" sort of deal? (Continuing the above paragraph. Which I had typed right before you wrote this.) ...And yet, they did spare Uso's mother, whereas it was mentioned somewhere in this topic eons ago that he found her beheaded head in a helmet in the source anime. And in A Portable, Duke Fleed's lover Princess Rubina lives, while in the anime Grendizer she sacrificed herself her biography page says. Sometimes, a character only lives and thus breaks canon if you fulfill special requirements to recruit them, like this guy.: Overall, SRW likes things to end happier than they originally did it seems.

So you're not wrong. Granted, it also depends. Some live even by default, despite how canon-breaking it could be. Like Lalah from Gundam. AP she may be optional to recruit and can die, but she was already alive for farther than she was allowed in the anime. But in another game like Compact she lives by default. And some, like Master Asia there, only do so after it's all said and done. Like in AP, he joins way after G Gundam's plot has ended. 11 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I like the sound of this.😄 This reminds me how the three of them (as Combattler V's Garuda was the first) never got to work together in SRW. Alpha 1 had Garuda and Heinel working together, but since Garuda never lives past that game, he misses out. Which... just highlights that Garuda is the one most shafted of the three. Unlike Heinel or Richter, he has never been a secret character to unlock or something like that. 11 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Miwa was very effective in his arrogance, so wonderfully hateable.

Armagon Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Emblem Veronica is probably the biggest indicator that Engage had been done for a while from what I hear. Cause her lines feel like her character from Book 1 to Book 5 but her design is from Book 6. Most likely for marketability, since they're actually selling a figure of that design. 4 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: What fucking hell did this come from.
