Super Robot Wars |OT| Jumping dimensions and communities isn't new to us

Hopefully the only ones that matter. Is there a guide to game stats anywhere? I don't really know if I'm allocating properly or what they all do, and I don't think V has a manual.
I just allocated them as I felt like it. As the game progresses you get enough points to spread them around and I honestly just focused on units that I liked.
If you're really worried check here:

I've been there, but I can't find a guide that explains what the stats do.
Finally played stage 42 of SRW V, I love how they've adapted what's probably my favorite Yamato episode.
I tried soloing it with the Yamato and getting the SR point, but I had to move on other units at turn 4 to secure the SR point. Still, Okita scored 45 kills on that map. That's the first time in the game I feel I've pushed the Yamato to its limits, it's ridiculously broken (I should get Okita some E Save and B Save for more fun).
Looking forward to that showdown in the Rainbow Cluster!

Anybody have any speculation as to what the plot of SRW X is going to be?
I mean I think we've all figured Nadia is going to be the central point of the game, like Space Battleship Yamato. But what other plot or plot elements do you guys think will be used in the game?

Sounds like they're all being thrown into some fantasy realm. I could see the Dunbine stuff figuring into it.
Yeah, with the fantasy world based plot I certainly expect Dunbine to get a heavy focus in the main story.
Apparently, Mashin Hero Wataru is in a similarly based in a fantasy setting; so I imagine it will be heavily crossed over with Dunbine.
I've never seen it though, so I don't know specifics.
PV2 for SRWX. Only video I could find, if someone has the official one you can put it up.
My thoughts:
-The OGs have some awesome effects.
-Mazinkaiser doesn't look as awesome and powerul as ZERO.
- The gundams look FANTASTIC. F91 and Hi-Nu especially.
Whee Hi-Nu!
Some dimension hopping is definitely at play, although exactly how much of the story is going towards one specific part is the question. A good amount of the series is a fantasy type setting, although the ones that aren't, there are some big differences that might add at least two more to the mix.
Gundams would be a modern/real world setting. Mazinger storyline could be put in that world or they could possibly split off him and the other super robots into their own dimension (MightGaine). For some reason, I don't think they'd do that, since the main story plot of Dunbine, Wataru, and Cybuster is that the MCs are transported to the fantasy world from real world Earth.
Gurren is the one I'm more curious about. It's set in a post apocalyptic setting, but I think that's the only one? It probably won't take place in the real world setting, but it would probably have to be rejiggered to fit into a fantasy one. I'm more inclined to believe they would be put in a separate setting.

If there are dimension shenanigans are in again, I suspect Gurren Lagann will be in the fantasy setting. Maybe just on a separate continent or something?
Moon Dwellers is back in stock and on sale for $33. Is it worth getting if I have V? Despite the masterful localization, Such Words!, etc.
Don't have Moon Dwellers myself, but if 2ndOGs is anything to go by, it's very different from V, done by a whole other team, with a very different style. I'd bite for $33.
Where's it going at that price?
It's nice to see they're keeping up with that trend of awesome animation for Mobile Suits. Kamille's ultimate and Amuro's Nu version of the Last Shooting were so awesome.
I'm finally going through SRW V, am I missing a game or does V just really assume you know the backstory of some of the shows? Was I really supposed to know the Celestial Being fought against PLANT with the Archangel crew?
Edit: Plant not Orb
Edit: Plant not Orb
The game does to some extent assume you're familiar with the shows, but the bolded is a bunch of stuff they made up for the game. Gundam 00 (Celestial Being) and SEED (PLANT and Archangel) aren't related outside the game.
V really does feel like a sequel to game that never happened, particularly the AD world( the one with Nadesico, SEED and 00). It's really weird, but I guess they didn't want the team to be so unfamiliar with each other lol
Yeah I know. I'm familiar with most of the backstories, at least as far as Real Robot shows go (except Cross Ange), but it just feels weird for the game to treat the story as if the player is in the know lol.
Its not going to make me stop playing the game or anything, but its just odd.
Yeah, I guess letting the player connect the dots is better than going through "hey I never met you before!" with every team, considering the other dimension/timeline shenanigans.
I do find odd that they chose to put Full Metal Panic in the Evangelion/UC world, when it feels like it would fit better in the other world with Seed/00/Nadesico
Srw games have been doing this for a while and also have been kind of fixing stuff about the story people didn't like in the anime lol. A lot of people thought srw fixed a lot of stuff in seed Destiny
Yup, SRW Z was a good one lol
I guess its just that this is the first time I can fully understand the game. Been playing SRW since SRW4 on the Super Famicon, didn't know what Spirit Commands were for until a friend pointed them out to me lol.
My favorite SRW moment is still the utter disbelief the Eva pilots had when you beat one of the Angels with the Reinforce Jr. (the battle happens in South Ataria, and you need to stop the angel from reaching the SDF Macross)
Edit: That scene is from SRW Alpha on the PSX/DC
Hahaha didn't that get you a bonus for that SR point too? That was a funny stage.
Leaks for the JP version of X have started. The battle demo(with BGM) is floating around on YouTube.
So so happy O2 is back for Geass and the Mazinkaiser theme got in.
Looking closely at the animation it looks like
they've touched up some of the Gundam attack animations as well, they're a bit different from V.
Yep, they made that clear in the first trailer, too. ZZ in particular.
Going to try to hold out on story spoilers for a month as hard as it'll be. Attack animations are fair game for me though. No way I'll resist those.
And yeah having all vocal songs in and organised would be great. Guess custom BGM will have to do again.
I'm burning through OGMD in preparation for SRW X, and I realized that it's been a long time since the ATX team got any love. Ariel is a charmer, but is it unrealistic to expect another upgrade for Alteisen and Weissritter?
I have a soft spot for both units because OG2 (GBA) was my first game in the series, so it's a bit of a bummer to see them get left in the dust. Hell, Weissritter doesn't even have a DK.

If we are getting a new OG game next year, they should hopefully get reanimated at least. Them getting actual new or upgraded mechs is over-wishful thinking tbh. Alt actually got reanimated quite a bit in 2ndOGS so there's hope at least. Weiss really needs it.
Btw everyone, preloading for those who pre-ordered from the Singapore PSN went live a few hours ago. Game is only abou 7 gb but if you have slow internet, you might want to start it up about now.
Hey guys first post here, I was wondering about something. I want to start SRW V but I'm worried about FMP novel spoilers, does V cover the whole novels and will it spoil the new FMP anime?
I believe The novels will be spoiled, but the new anime will not.
Thanks, sadly in the FMP invisible war thread someone said it spoils a lot of things :/ I guess I'm playing X before V then (Does X continue the story of V or am I safe to jump in and play V later?)
X and V are both standalone games. They share some series in them, but they are meant to be played separately.

I know it's late but I got some bad news for you.
1. OG is entering the Alpha 3 storyline where Kusuha, Bullet, Ryusei, and Touma (plus other characters) are going to be taking the spotlight.
2. The VA for Excellen passed away a few months prior to Moon Dwellers's release. Knowing Japan, it's going to be a long while (if ever) before her VA gets replaced. Here's Kyosuke's VA's eulogy about her. They'll just keep reusing her lines like Captain Bright and Haran Banjou.

Thanks for the reply. Any and all information is appreciated, especially when it comes to a niche series like SRW.
I'm not a big fan of Ryusei or the other Nendo users, but I've been a fan of the Alpha 3 OGs since people uploaded MADs on Youtube. HD Dis Astranagant sounds like a dream come true.
I have such an intense love for this series but I've only stuck to the officially and fan translated games.
For like... 10+ years I played the games sooooo slowly because I didn't want to finish one and have to wait years for another.
Even doing that, I managed to replay most.
Now that we're on our third official game in such a "short" time period, It's taking me so long to catch up because I'm playing them in spurts like I'm so used to.
I literally have not decided to stop playing OGMD yet and I've been picking it up off and on for over a year now.
I still have to smash through V before I get X and by the time that happens, a new game will be out (fingers crossed).
Life is good for a SRW fan.

Hey all, quick question: I bought Super Robot Wars V for my Vita, thinking that all of the copies had English subs...but I actually got the Japanese version, not the Southeast Asia edition with the subs. Can I patch the English subs into my JP version of the game?
Ah man, I figured as much - thanks for the response. I'll just keep it as a cool memory of my trip to Japan.
It's easy to play but you just won't get the story. If u need translation for stuff I can shoot u a link to a good source
