Unit list?

[FentaRino]

Do we have an unit list? Or can we expect GBM unit list (minus some specific units) + some GWM units?

I'm hoping we get the Ball cuz I want to stick a gun on EVERY body part, including the head unit

[deuxhero]

The official website list says starting roster is "over 250" base kits. That's considerably less than GBM's final roster, but more than GB3's final roster of 225 (this includes some variant options).

As for confirmed new units past GB3: Kyrios is seen in the English trailer, and Leo is seen in the Japanese trailer. Aerial, Aerial Rebuild and Darilblade are confirmed to be the only WfM suits at launch in a Japanese livestream/gameplay showcase (I wanted to use a Zowort and pretend it's AC. Boo!). All five of those were in GBM, so it's entirely plausible they're reusing models from it.

Ball appears in trailers. The real question is if you can play pure Ball because GB3 required you have a head and legs. Apparently GBM fixed this by making Ball's cannon its "head" and the thruster its "leg"

A cannon for a head is exactly what I want out of a mobile suit

That was on at least since 2 or 3

[FireElite7]

They showed the Ball "head" for a split second in the trailer.

there's probably a high chance that some of the suits from the new Gundam Seed Freedom movie will be in game or added later on.

These will be DLC mostly along with the Witch From Mercury second half ones, one or two for free so you can tease people to buy the DLC (i'll totally do it)

[Zadran (FF)]

GB3 had the Ball as part of a DLC but it's implementation needs to be revisitied imo:

RB-79 Ball (DLC) (Straight build impossible as arms are required for an assembly despite the presence of manipulators. Entire unit can be equipped as a head, body, and/or legs)

An example that just came to mind for GB3 as far as suits being able to function and animate/rig properly no matter what is or isn't attached to them (provided requisite basics like a torso or legs, etc) is the early aquatic Zeon mobile suits like the Acguy and some of its later relatives -- they forewent giving it a discreet leg part and instead treated it as part of the body (which I guess makes sense given the shape of the suit itself, but it also gives me hope they could rethink how to put the Ball into GB4 in a more proper and customizable way since the idea is Gunapla warfare with whatever you bring). They did the thing same with the Z'gok except it happened to have Body, Arm Leg and Backpack parts but its head kind of gets shoved right into the top of its torso so it doesn't have a unique head part.
Maybe they can build on that type of thing to make a more, uh..."modular" framework?

One thing i wanna know: will we get "real type" versions of SD Gundam-specific models? I'll admit some de-SD'd versions of SD Gundam mobile suits are a hit and miss, though I can't help but think some models like the Cao Cao Wing Gundam definitely deserve to have a realistically proportioned variant.

How many of these exist? Because the real type Knight Gundam looks cool

[RustyRed]

Gundam SEED Freedom is 100% going to be DLC for this game. A ton of new suits that all look cool.

Eager for a custom Black Knight Shi-ve.A! I need my Torso darts!

I second this. While many SD designs i find personally a little overdesigned there are some that would absolutely fire as a real type.

Sergeant Verde Buster anybody?

Someone went and counted every single part they could recognize.

So he figured out at least 164 out of the 250+

IT'S THE HARUTTTTTT

I've never played NGB, but damn did they add some of my favorite suits (always wanted to play as Tryon in an action game). I just need KiVidar to complete the set, and then I can start pining for stuff from Mobile (If Cross Rays won't give me Arche Gundam Drei, I'll make it myself).

kimaris vidar was on GBM so we can expect it here as it is a normal suit
