Codename Shrimp Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Armagon said: Oh do you mean when it's not chapter by chapter like FE, VC, etc? Yeah Or to be more exact, when you have these "small battles" akin to normal RPGs rather than SRPGs. Combines the tedium of SRPGs with the number of battles of RPGs. It's also one of my problems with SoV and it's dungeon sections. Gets boring fast, since the battles don't end as fast normal RPG battles tend to. Not a deal breaker, but can be a bit annoying. Not like i have anything against explorations in SRPGs - some do it well. There's a demo of a game called Dream Tactics (try it, it's cool) on steam, where it does exploration, but instead of "Mob" battles it does have more "SRPG" battles - even if they are usually smaller (but not mob like, more akin to early game FE maps) until the last ones in the section where they are longer and bigger.

However, rather than "I see you approaching 500m away, I electrocute you b/c I'm busted", she actively chooses for it to be "I see you approaching 500m away, I direct an electric arc to an inactive machine gun turret (that you didn't notice) embedded in a wall of my Stalingrad-meets-steampunk-labyrinth, that leave you shouting "Medic!" in three seconds" instead. 9 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Yes pls!

BrightBow Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 There are 6 A rank dishes and Ruby hates 3 of them. Such a picky eater. She is doing better with B ranks, at least. Liking Stuffat Tal-Fenek is nice. Vantage from someone with her potential for high weapon ranks can be quite fun. Always love it when I have it available in chapter 8.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Okay, time for some more SRW V. With the Yamato back, two more DLC scenarios have unlocked. Unsurprisingly, it's more flashback events... I think all DLC maps are, at the end of the day. So anyway, one of them is a trip back to Arzenal on Jasmine's request, to escort a goods delivery to the base. Oh, it's a defend map. Would've thought an actual transport ship NPC would've showed up and to be an escort objective. Well, fine either way.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Lulz, of course the cargo included another magical girl outfit for Salia... Okay, next map. The other one had some "Real Robot" focus with the Para-Mails and Gundam Team. Now this one seems more Super Robot oriented with Maightgaine and Zambot teams taking to the spotlight. Again Hoi Kow Lou, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Okay, Scenario 21. Interesting, they raised the point that despite the 100 year difference, technology wise, both NCC and UC worlds are more similar. Specially the Gundams. Likely to explain how they and Kincade+Tobia can switch mechs around. As a side note, I'm reminded that the 13 year time skip in Armageddon was a literal one for Ryoma. He got sent thirteen years into the future. In a way, I can see why T and 30 ditched that, if they wanted the dynamic between Amuro, Koji, and him to work. Hmm... Anyway, it's time to take the fight to the Martian Polar Cap Ruins! I still can't get over the ridiculously giant ♂ symbol on the Martian Successors uniforms... XD lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Oh, NOW I can actually use the Tuatha de Dannan as an airborne unit. And wow, all four battleships get fielded. It is making the party look like a proper fleet. Okay, time to rock! Hmm, having played T's version of this battle, it's a bit weird to see V only have the Martian Successors here. T also had the Jupiter Empire, VOTOMs mooks, Yazan, and... I think there was another faction there too, but I forgot. No, wait, Jupiter Empire mooks didn't showed up here, but were allied with the Martian Successors. Edited January 27 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Okay, the scenario still has things to spice it up, with first the dragons and then the Gardim (OG faction) show up. And there's still Lapis and her Gravity Wave thing to come for sure... Gardim are red units, but the dragons are... yellow-ish green? Hostile to both blue and red, anyway.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 All the Hokushin's Six have retreat quotes. I don't think they did in T, and indeed, there was a sense of finality, or close to finality as the Martian Successors were finished, though Hokushin survived his canonical death, obviously intending to still show up later on. Here... hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
