I've been getting into my journey in the world of mecha by starting with Gundam I've finished 0079 and halfway into ZETA now and honestly I feel like I could skip this outside of Char this series seems pointless.
Though Kamille's design and the mechs are pretty Kamille is annoying I think he has autism.

Also like how it's not immediately obvious which faction is the worse one. On one hand one's using humans as disposable troops, while on the other side the enemy seems almost inhuman, though it could just be a perfection of the tech the empire is aiming for.

>>72611Xenogears is my favourite JRPG of all time.
>>72660Yes and no. The guys behind Xenogears went onto create Xenosaga and Xenoblade, but Square is really, really stingy with the Xenogears IP and won't let Monolith Soft officially do anything with Xenogears. Legally, Xenoblade cannot explicitly connect to Xenogears.
This hasn't stopped Takahashi from rehashing Xenogears though, Xenoblade 2 in particular is very much a rehash of Perfect Works (his original plan from the 1990s to make Xenogears into a trilogy), there's a ton of parallels between XB2 and XG.
Xenoblade 2 may or may not be canonically connected to Xenosaga though in some weird metaverse way (Bamco's lets Monolith Soft use the Xenosaga IP still, fortunately), and Xenosaga is supposed to be connected to Xenogears despite legal issues.

>>75257I've been meaning to play the later games, but I've really enjoyed the first Armored Core so far (although the original controls are a little painful without rebinding them). Generally speaking, the critic reviews would seem to suggest that they're all fairly average games, but user reviews tend to be a lot more positive.

>Several story continuities exist, spread across 13 main games, 3 remastered re-releases, 2 console spin-offs, and 5 mobile spin-offs. The first release of the series, Armored Core, was released in 1997, while its twenty-third and final game, Armored Core: Verdict Day was released in 2013. The series has been released on the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, and Mobile Phone
I feel intimidated already. Guess I'll just watch it for the lore if there's a nice playthrough .
Shame that FromSoft changed so hard from Mecha into RPG, but I guess people in Japan started feeling more like escaping to fantasy land and away from a gritty reality.

>>79380Megaton Musashi is on the super robot style of mecha, lots of technobabble and shouting out the
HISSATSU WAZAs and such.
Potentially building a complex story with a lot of characters, but we'll see where it goes. Could end up completely flopping, you never know.
No.79390
>>79388I think the biggest problem with Musashi is that it's a mecha that had no mecha in the first episode. I might give it a try, but how do you do that?
No.79391
>>79390yeah, they've had some really weird directional choices so far. Like you said, no mecha action in the first episode, despite that (at least so far) being a pretty big focus of the show. And they keep doing previews that end up having very little to do with the next episode. Feels like they're flying by the seat of their pants sometimes.

>>79380I think for what I'll be keeping up with Sakugan and Denchi Shoujo are what I'll be keeping up with. I'll probably save Muv-Luv for when it comes out on BD so that I can watch it all at once.
