Super Robot Wars Z3 (PS3 & PSV)

[Tactics]

It's nice to know Setsuko and Balgora got upgrade.
By Li-Brasta and Genion GAI standard, it's hard to compete with them without proper upgrade.

Li-Brasta T is-- completely different from what I expected.
I expected fusion of B and R as future upgrade for Li-Brasta (became P for Purple or V for Violet. LOL);
Seems like staff just go with a reinforced Brasta with some elements from B incorporated to clarify B is the true upgrade.

I hope we can use the upgrade for a long time.
Not like how Genion GAI became finally useful by last three stages. LOL.

[Kirayuki]

The description mention it is a combination of both forms with adding a new approach to it too, but we all know that kind of fusion usually not gonna end well...and probably why they use "T" that stand as "Trial" for the naming.

[KBTKaiser]

Well, it's also that Crowe's an all-rounder, which reflects on the unit as a result.

You have mini-SPIGOTs on the gun from B, you have stronger frontal armor and stronger joints from R.

Gunleon now goes into combat with Magna Mode constantly on, but goes back to standard mode when in the hangar.

Virgola got extra booster pods for the wing system for even more speed/mobility and an extra control module for the Gunnery Carver, which apparently allows setsuko to be in sync with her sphere even more so for better output.

Official blog confirmed they will be usable in the main game too (I didn't realize from Librasta screenshot that the GUI is from the main game one)

The music for the PV could've been better, but that's beside the point. HYPE.

[DuelGundam2099]

Normally I'd enjoy the second preview, but I found it very disappointing.

-VOTOMS got outright ignored
-Banpresto apparently couldn't use another heterodyne from Dai-Guard (why?)
-Zambot 3 enemies are back (WHY? Its story was done!)
-No continuation of the God Mars story (awe)

Only real things I liked were the new Banpresto Original upgrades and the Double Mugen Punch.

[Shinji103]

Votoms has gotten plenty of spotlight ever since it first debuted in SRW Z, and it's still in the OP movie bits we see at the end.

More importantly..........

HEAVY FLIGHT UNIT LEVIATHAN!!!!!

Looks like the Geneon starts off Z3.2 with a small upgrade already.

If they hadn't put made a double mugen punch, they'd have failed as game programmers.

You better be able to keep the Leviathan's heavy flight unit and Unicorn Gundam's FA equipment.

[bakAnki]

The PV sure great and all, but somehow I'm not that hyped. Probably due to lack connection here so I only watched the 360p

Double Mugen Punch, as awesome to see both team together, but it's kinda.... moot. Each of them can do Double Mugen Punch by themselves, in form of Mugen Form (Solar) and All Together Attack (EVOL). Besides the characters' cut-in isn't new, is it? Just two sets put together

It's Laevatein, btw

Its Howitzer Cannon is somehow not that impressive, probably because it looks like it doesn't have any recoil effect (in-universe explanation might be thanks to its Lambda Driver stabilize the unit though), but the cut-in was beautiful. And Falke still looks too.... choppy

Kinda hope Setsuna will have special joke quote when fighting Belial's Leonard, referencing Ultraman Zero

[Von Himmel]

I'm still salty about gargantia so I'm not really that hyped! :< However those originals animation was pretty cool and it almost made me think that they've spend budget to them alone FMP animation (other than the last one) was pretty lacking like the prequel but we'll see how it goes when the game comes out.

Speaking of which, was there any confirmation that this is going to be the last Z series?

I'm really glad that it's the last Z. The series just keep losing its awesomeness by later games. First Z was great and cool, but from Z2 onward is just...I don't know what to say but It just never give me the "great" feeling I have when playing other SRW games like Alpha, MX, Impact or Alpha Gaiden. Especially Z3-1, they should have just stick it with handheld console if they can't utilize the PS3 completely. I hope after Z, they would spend a year for a new stand alone SRW or OG 3.

[KBTKaiser]

If you think about it, the Z series has probably been series with most entries and jousting for longest series now.
Z1
Z1 Special Disc
Z2.1(Hakai)
Z2.2(Saisei)
Z3.1(Jigoku)
Z3.15(Rengoku)
Z3.2(Tengoku)

that's 7 entries, roughly 5.75 games worth in length.

for comparison
SRW2
SRW3
SRWEX
SRW4/F
SRWFF

SRW@
SRW@Gaiden
SRW@2
SRW@3

So this appeared in famitsu recently:



According to /m/ it's a savage from FMP called Crossbow. I know nothing about what happens in the light novels so.... Yeah. Anyone know what the text is?

Yes it's Sousuke unit after...

Spoiler for FMP heavy spoiler:

Arbalest is destroyed by the last boss during Jindai High incident. Not only that, Chidori was taken by the bad guys and on the same time they also managed to "destroy" Mithril and take their base on Merida Island, save for Tuatha de Danaan crew who went guerilla.

Cut from the rest of Danaan crew, Sousuke went solo finding information of Amalgam to save Chidori. While trying to find old comrade for place of living and information, Sousuke ends up participating on AS tournament as a fighter replacing that friend who just die. Crossbow is Sousuke's unit on this time.

That color scheme was actually Sousuke's selfish idea to pay tribute to Arbalest despite everyone's saying the color makes the unit looks weak. Heck, he even called the unit Al-2 (Al is Arbalest's AI name)

As for the text, I think it's the interview regarding Laevatein. Didn't understand most either

[BassGSnewtype]

Some new apparent screens have surfaced on facebook that are apparently from a retail promo trailer.

Shrouga Sin taking the legendary Obari pose--
Well, both Shrouga and Shrouga Sin is designed by Obari.



Amuro in Alpha Azieru?

As for the trailer, loved to see FMP adapted until the last fight.

Hibiki got new badass move after Stormbringer, finally he use Genion's glaive properly.

[Rias]

And it comes out this week... totally forgot to pre-order...

Still debating if I should get PS3 or VITA version...

[DuelGundam2099]

So, leaks happened and

Spoiler:

-Scorpio, Taurus, and Sagittarius users found which leaves Pisces, but that could be Asakim's last sphere. No idea what they all do yet.
-Most of the cast comes back by the first quarter or so.
-The second earth is "green earth" and where Gargantia plot happens.
-Impulse Gundam reduced to an attack for the Destiny, /m/ is PO'd.
-Rebuild Zeruel's sprite is actually kind of adorable. Also Beast Mode Unit 02 is event only. Also according to the third impact attack the Earth's HP is only 15000.
-Esther's home town is interesting to the main original antagonists who call themselves the Gaia Empire.
