Look to the good point... it didn't just spawn out of nowhere like certain person shield.

By the way, anyone know if they fix that in SE?

It was due o internal conflict that they stopped developing Shinn's character and had Kira steal the show away.

I'm saying that Destiny was the real deal and Perfect Strike was scrapped a long time ago than attention was brought back to it. It wasn't until later that they revisited it and when they did it looked nothing like the concept artwork for it.
let set a few things straight..

1. The 'Perfect Strike' is not a new design, It's basically the Strike Gundam + aile, launcher, and sword + a few battery packs. that's it! It's not a newly designed MS.

2. Strike's original successor is a gundam that looked a lot like the strike + two big swords, two big guns and giant truster / backpack. Something like this (- the wings):

3. Destiny Gundam doesn't necessarily look like the Perfect Strike or the original design for Kira's 2nd MS. However, it is born from the same concept. So Destiny's design is different, but the philosophy is the same.

Destiny Gundam was originally planned to be the upgrade for the Strike, not the Perfect Strike.
As I have already pointed out, The original design for Kira's 2nd MS looked more like the 'perfect Strike' and didin't look anything destiny. The Destiny Gundam is an original design, but the concept is obviously something that came out of early research on Kira's 2nd MS back in 2001.

It's basically Destiny's granddaddy..


Quote:
GSD had far more problems than just that. Most of it stemmed off reusing a ton of stock footage from old episodes and seed as well as the internal turmoil that was happening behind the scenes.
It all comes down to the fact that Destiny was rushed into production. Seed finished airing in Oktober 2003. Bandai ordered 50 new episodes when they realized how well Seed was selling. So let's say that Destiny was green lit in early 2004 and as we know the first episode of destiny aired on Oktober 2004. That means Fukuda and his crew had 4 - 6 months for pre-production.. Here is the problem, you simply can't finish pre-production for something big like Destiny in such a short amount of time. That's just impossible. And a smooth pre-production is essential to any kind of media work. All these production issues were bound to happen.. No matter how hard you work or how big the crew is, the creative process requires time. You can not force it.

@MakubeX2:
I remember this one (it's much closer to the the Freedom), but there was an even earlier version. That one had more swords and the body design looked more like that of the Strike. Like this one it looked very cluttered, but in terms of weaponry it was more even.

It can't be a grand daddy when it wasn't even taken off the drawing board(the original pitched idea/concept that is) and the Perfect Strike came to life only after the Destiny was finished up(Though I'm sure they didn't expect to have to finish Destiny so fast either). The original idea just never saw the life of day, the Destiny and Perfect Strike are just the children of that idea given life after it was abandoned.

I do agree that rushing out Destiny to capitalize on SEED fame was a huge contributeing factor to why things broken down internally. I'm sure they were all glad once Destiny was over and they weren't pushed into doing that rumoured Movie.

??? The Destiny is a product of that original concept.. The fact that the design of proto Freedom never saw the light day is irrelevant. You need to distinguish the difference between a concept and a design.

You can find plenty of perfect Strik's by Gunpla builders long before the Destiny... Again, my point being that it's not a new design or a new idea. The fact that you see it animated after Destiny dosen't say anything.

Destiny's existence proofs that the original concept was never abandoned (The design was), They kept it for later.

In a 2008 interview w/ Animage Magazine, Morosawa claimed that the basic outline was finished, but she's currently recovering after she had a hysterectomy to treat her uterine fibroids and an ovarian cyst. And, no, it's not the "brain cancer" that /m/ likes to spew all the time.

GSD's mixed reception all comes down to this:
  • The original cast (esp. Kira) were still over w/ Japanese audience
  • Shinn, despite popular in his own right, wasn't getting over as Bandai/Sunrise hoped
  • Because of the above two, Sunrise/Bandai/Fukuda/Morosawa bent to Kira's fanbase
  • Fukuda/Morosawa being demanding on the VAs, straining their relationships
  • Sales of the GSD Gunpla (except for SFreedom) weren't hot (?)
  • GSD was produced during the fallout of the Yukana Scandal

I’m curious as to what would the story become if only Shinn became as popular as planned. Would he still be a manipulated jerk untill the end of the series or will he become Kira & Athrun’s ally? Damn, I really hope Destiny will get a trilogy-movie treatment in the future (like Zeta) and thus remove all the dumb plot-points.

the SRW-Z version of Shinn is the most likely route.

Did he bawl almost every time in that route too or became SEED's Kamille?

They sure like to tease, but whether or not Perfect Strike will actually be storyline reality, I do not want to see Mu lose badly to Rau in it.

And if they ever do anything past Destiny with Kira, they should revive Erica's interest in him as someone who potentially has the SEED factor. At least do something more with that concept.

Love the third opening, first one showcasing Freedom. Should be about two more episodes from another of my favorite Strike battles.

I'll leave the details up to them. I just like them to try to do something more with the concept, but not to the point of Newtype and Innovator and X-Rounder.

Why do people think it will? That would require all new animation, it's meant for the eye catches. Nothing more.

Very little of what your saying is actually true...most of it is hear-say.

So you're saying that Shinn's VA was lying when he voiced his displeasure of what happened with Destiny and how he felt the SRW Z Shinn was the real Shinn in his heart? Or at Lacus and Athrun's VAs were angry over what happen to their characters? Or that Cagalli's VA was so angry that she refuses to do any new VA work for Destiny Cagalli and that's why games like SRW have to put her to the side or just reuse old stock VA and push her to a lesser role because they can't get new VA work for her?

Kinda hard to be hear-say when the VAs themselves voiced their displeasure both publicly and privately. There's a reason they never went forward with that GSD movie that was planned but never realized.

I think he mean that > they hate their character because they don't have any development not because they have internal fight.

Anyway, after watching gundam seed again... am I the only one who think that strike most danger weapon is his dagger?

-Yazen have scar because of strike dagger.
- Kira defeat Andrew Waltfed with dagger.
- same thing with sea commander.
-and he was about to do same thing with Athrun before the later decided to troll him with "Self- destruction.

... No wonder they name strike mass production strike dagger...

Rie Tanaka confirmed at her appearance at the 2008 NYAF that Lacus was the hardest role she played so far:


GM: What’s the most difficult role that you’ve played, and how did you overcome it?

RT: [Gundam SEED's] Lacus Clyne, because the character has to be very reserved and commanding, even if she’s mad or showing some expressions, she still has to be a reserved character, and this was over a span of four years including Destiny, and it was very difficult.
