I'd like that!
Til then, I'm making up my own. Lots of awkwardness with Char and Full Frontal in the same room.

This Fifth Luna stage is so good, route splits have some of the best stages in the game.
Edit:
"How do you tell full Frontal and Char apart? Full Frontal is a sleeve, and Char is sleeveless."
Banpresto pls :|

Thanks for the write up on Basara's song power.
I'll put it to good use.

Wait, can you be more specific please?
- There's a boss a 49 (please put his name in spoilers!);
- He will retreat under a certain amount of HP;
- Actually defeating him seems to be one of the conditions for the If route?
Am I correct?
Does it even matter? Just kill everything for the exp and parts.

Some secrets are related to not killing things. There aren't any in this game I would hope.

He shows up after you deal with the SR conditions.
He will retreat under 40,000HP.
The boss' name is
Gadoraito/Gadlight
Would recommend using your MAX damage setup to burn through that in one attack. Also try putting some units around him for the 10% damage bonus (for surrounding an enemy unit).
I would have loved to test this but I overwrote the file before I found out.
Would be helpful if others who have unlocked the IF route chimed in on whether or not they defeated this boss (Stage 49).
Also, the Platinum Emblem is OP!
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
lol hilarious.
Would most def read that if you do decide to write up the summary.
Oh I killed everybody in every stage. No fucks given. Literally the only person I didn't kill right off the bat was Guura because convincing him was the mission.
Here's a summary of the main OG villain.
The only reason Gadlight fights you is because he's asspained that his planet got destroyed and his species are all but gone while Earth gets "special treatment" with a time prison. He's actually suppose to oversee the completion of the time prison but instead, he just wants to destroy the Earth and wipe out humanity.
Literally jealousy and butthurt.

Limited but easily exploited. Just got at least 600 PP in a single map for Basara.
I kinda feel OCD about killing everything on a map. I was miffed that there wasn't enough time for me to kill that last Serpent unit on the EW ending map.
This game definitely has more than a handful of filler maps to stretch it to that 60 map length. Hell, I'm enjoying the dlc maps more than some of these story maps where nothing new happens. There's a huge gap where you don't get anything new to play with in the 20-30 section blah :/
Like Stage 28 seemed like it would've been an advancement of the OG plot, something happens map, but absolutely nothing happened
, then next map again has nothing really happening
. At stage 30 now and the game really needs to start moving soon

besides the general telling hibiki her name
besides gauron surrundering
and introduce the rest of the damn series already, wtf 40 hours+ gametime and still no OO units or Gunbuster or even the rest of the Z1/Z2 cast. I think Z3-1 probably holds the record for the longest amount of stages in a SRW until they introduce all the series.

I hope so considering how useful some of them are.
Well sometimes I didn't have the necessary firepower to do so. I only make it a priority to finish bosses if they are part of an SR or I just happen to be in the position to do so. In this case I did actually have the setup necessary but I didn't feel like reloading my battle save which was a critical error on my part.

I figured as much.
Now I feel like a fool for missing something that would not have taken me more than 5 minutes to re-do.
EDIT: So did you do a no-kill, then reload and kill to confirm?

Emblems don't carry over, but the conditions for unlocking them do so you'll probably get one or two emblems right off the bat on NG+.

I'm on the last stage now and I just noticed something funny. Spoilered below
Everyone gets caught in the Anti-Spiral's dream dimension prison thing and it goes through every character's "hallucination/alternate world". In Hibiki's they're in the classroom and Suzune mentions something about a "private lesson" with what looks like a seductive expression followed by Hibiki going "......". Made me laugh so I thought I would share.

Haha.
Oh what... lame
I already knew that because of the unit flow chart. 3.2 better be really good then

Just finished the game about 5 minutes ago.
The
scenes were interesting. My Japanese reading ability is pretty much non-existent but I was able to discern a few things.
Really interesting stuff.
Can't wait to play Tengoku-hen next April!
The
after-credits
Looks like Queen is going to release Asakim from that ZONE that he got sealed in in Z2.2.
Setsuna's in a coma which of course means that we'll be getting the movie plot in Z3.2.
Hibiki seems to be raging at what I assume the orange glasses guy said, also that red eye condition is back, it has something to do with dimensional energy or something like that right? I get the impression that Suzune knows things that she's not sharing yet based on that last scene between her and Hibiki.

I'm not that far yet but Hibiki's eye
turns red whenever the "angel" that killed his dad/sister and cursed him in the first place gets near.
Also was it confirmed somewhere that Z3.2 is April? I can't see it coming out until a while after Rebuild 4.0, which is just TBA 2015 right now.

They are not going to wait until the next Eva movie otherwise the series won't finish until the next decade.
The most recent thing they are likely to cover is Unicorn 7.

I see.
I was reading some stuff on GameFAQs and someone mentioned something about an angel as well.
I said next April because I'm assuming they'll mirror Z2's schedule, which had Hakai release in April 2011, then Saisei releasing in April the following year.
As for Eva, I don't think they're going to wait for the movies, it will probably be a similar situation to SRW L which only featured the first two movies. I think there's a chance they could include the third movie in Tengoku-hen though.
Asuka can also stay.
Oh right, had it mixed up.
I had someone tell me you needed Mari for If route.
Did you convince Goora with Tesujin? I think that's an important flag for IF route.
No didn't even knew it was possible until after i read some of the jwiki when i was past that stage. oh well second play through i guess...
Did you save Loni? I heard that might be one of the points if you didn't take the Japan route.
Hmm I don't remember, looked it up
メリダ島ルート48話でイベント後にバナージでシャンブロを撃破する。
達成するとシャンブロが爆破せずにロニが回収されるが、パイロットにはならない。
IFルートフラグの可能性？
might be a flag, don't think I used unicorn to do the killing blow though. maybe that's it too
so 3 possible mandatory flags
Convince Goora with Tetsujin
Use Unicorn to destroy Jampro (stage 48 non japan route)
Kill boss stage 49 (with MC or not?)
Man this is the first time I didn't get IF route in a recent SRW game on the first play through

Maybe if you took the Space route instead saving Daguza might be a flag too.
Stage 30 was pretty good even if no new units. Story-wise I think they've done a very nice job at FMP. I don't remember W much, but I doubt W's version of FMP was as in-depth and developed as this. All FMP is missing is better animations! And yay at finally being 50% through the game. Been going at a good rate, ~55 hours now doing full scenario chart play w/all SR points + all DLC maps as they are available story-wise.
PS. I have a feeling the game is giving you a heads up about flags that give you IF points by having AG award you bonus Z-chips for doing certain things on maps.
Not.going.to.happen.
Eva 4.00 doesn't even have a release date. At least Unicorn 7 is out this month and just one ep by same company that makes SRW so they have internal access to the script/ep + there's a novel to use. Eva 4.00 has none of that.
At best they'll make up an original ending for post 3.33's final plot point to give it a conclusion. Or just use EoE

Btw, does anyone kind of roll their eyes at how PG-13 SRW is and how they retcon like every death and "dark" event in a featured anime series? I mean I'm totally cool with them letting you optionally save units who normally would die. But even just minor stuff like in stage 30
The only people who die in SRW are plot important deaths that are needed to propel the plot, but sometimes even they come back!
.
They should just go all the way with SRW happy nonsense and in Z3-2
having the Wolves 1 captain guy who gets betrayed and totally murdered by Gauron be "ok because Heero is doing emergency nursing on him" was lol since he's not even important (npc introduced just that stage) but still they're like "nope, can't have people die! in srw because it's a happy kids series!"

like saving Jin

have Kamina show up at the very end of GL and say he's been recovering all this time

Making you fight Mazinger enemies in the few short stages you have to unlock a secret was a really dick move.
Kittan dies. Although it's heavily hinted that he'll be in Z3.2 because his Giga Drill Break actually has an animation, but you see it only once, and I'm not inclined to think that Banpresto cares about the fanbase enough to give Kittan a proper one-time send off.
