Yeah, considering Namco-Bandai past record on this series, Full Boost might not come out on consoles until next year. And by that I don't necessarily mean early next year.
But who knows~

Anybody want to jump in? We have space for another. Just PSN gevurah22.
I love me some Formula suits. That test with the Fullcloth was nice enough, I might train with it a little bit since I don't have any 3000 on hand.
I really need to seriously test more suits. I've played almost nothing besides the X1 Kai (which I knew like the palm of my hand from the arcades) and the F91 (which I've been playing all the time since GvG) >D

I'm so happy to see so many new players joining Gundam-GAF! The more the merrier!
Plus I won't look so awkward scrubbing it up in GAF rooms anymore.
Anyway, I've got some questions about Trial Mode, and I'm hoping that you guys can answer some of them.
I've cleared the Civilian and Cadet trials (S-rank and everything), and I squeaked by the Soldier trials. Now I'm up to the Commander set, and I feel like I've hit a brick wall; even the grunts take a bunch of hits to kill off, and some of these missions are outrageous. Of course, this can all be explained by the fact that all my suits are still level 1
So I wanna know:
- What stats should I spend most of my money on? I figure that I've got enough money at this point to pour all of it into one or two suits and brute force my way through the rest of the missions, so I'd like some tips. And just to satisfy my curiosity:
- Is it even possible to clear Trial Mode without upgrading at all? I've given up on trying at this point, but I just wanna know if the game even facilitates the option of a no-upgrade run.

GGs everyone! An insanely long session, but good times like always. :3
I pretty much used three suits throughout the entire mission mode (Full Cloth, Cherudim, Gunner) aside from when you were forced to use a specific suit. Just pick who you're most comfortable with and beast them from there. I had a tendency to beef up ranged attack first whenever it was time to upgrade.
You can clear without upgrading, but it doesn't reward you for doing it. Kinda pointless considering there will be missions that you will need all the upgrades you can get, so upgrade what you can. I'd argue to not really worry about upgrading the CPU skill. Do that last.I'm so happy to see so many new players joining Gundam-GAF! The more the merrier!

Played a lot of games today with GundamGaf. In honor of that new avatar!

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I can deal with having to upgrade my suits, I just wanted to know if it was possible to get by without it. Although I was half tempted to S-Rank everything without upgrades - I'd always end up missing S ranks in Commander by, like, 1000 points or so, and it was maddening.
It was never this much hassle in Gotcha Force; everything was automatic! But Gundam is Gundam, I suppose. Maxed out Acguy, here I come!
Now there's an avatar you can follow into hell and back!
Yup. All DK does is spam that annoying hookshot like it's OOT again.

Don't worry. Whenever you pick her, there's a room wide groan from all players involved. xD

I don't mind. Now if Full Armor ZZ gets picked. Then I'll spend the entire match kicking rocks at it.
Well look on the bright side, I will be playing Dynames and Puru a lot more these days than Katejina and ZZ.
Truth is I never once got to fight you.

You've picked up Puru pretty well since you started.

"Damn how do you guys know all the names - is it because you've watched all the shows? I only remember the Gundam Wing guys.
Which others are considered the best of the newer (post 90's) Gundam shows? This game is getting me psyched to start watching more"
That plus the OP.

Turn A is my favorite, but I suppose that's still the tail end of the '90s. Unicorn is pretty good.

Original is always a good start. Will introduce you to The One Year War. Other series that are my favorite but more modern in the animation are Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory and Gundam 08th MS Team.
Gundam Wing is part of the expanded universe and doesn't follow things established in the main cannon. Still good though. I never got into G Gundam though. It's like a DBZ style Gundam story.

We could use one more in this room. PSN Dunpeal-1 if you want in.

I saw you ask this in IRC, but I didn't remember to respond.
The MS IGLOO OVAs are pretty solid, if you can put up with the CG. Unicorn is pretty well animated, but it isn't done and won't be for quite some time. Everything else in that time frame has a really mixed reception, and I don't really know enough about those shows to comment on them.
None. I say you stick with older UC gundang ovas(0080, 0083, 08th MS) and G gundang. They're good because
Tomino didn't direct any of them.

First season of 00 is good.
But what's the point of watching it if season 2 is bad (considering they leave a lot of question at the end of S1)?
Anyways, my opinion is to start with the original (or the 3 movie compilation if you want to save time) to get a good idea on the universe. After that watch 8th ms team, G Gundam and Turn A.

No need to watch season two. The ending of one after the credits is just a cool "what if?" segment.
Lavalamp1138
Member
Not sure I follow. Aren't both seasons canon?
yes, distant just means 2nd season is so bad ... it doesn't actually exist. i say watch the movie instead
Lavalamp1138
Member
Oh ok. I actually thought it was pretty good. In fact, it wrapped things things up well enough that I didn't watch the movie for fear of it messing with it. But after playing this game, I really want to go back and watch it just to see the new suits. But it's been some time since I watched it and now I don't remember all the little details.

Ouch, 99.91 CA, was hoping it would be lower. Well I did pay like 120 for Xillia.
Is there any point to getting it now or should I wait for full boost?

Full boost isn't even out in arcades yet. It won't be showing up on consoles for a good long while.

Alright, I guess I'll see if I can order it tomorrow then. This and SRW Z2 Sasei-sen(when it comes out) should last me or a long while.
