This game REALLY reminds me of .Hack

Like, a lot of the tropes are similar, due in part to the nature of the story being told. Obviously, gameplay is better...in most ways. I miss being able to explore a city with tons of NPCs from GU, though that COULD get annoying, and they might have felt pressured to make sidequests to fill that space, and anyone who played GU can tell you, that got frustrating searching for NPCs to give those STUPID fliers too.

Have you never watched Gundam Build Divers? This is Gundam build Divers to a tee. No need to bring .hack into the discussion.

I think he means gameplay.

A little of both actually. And yes, I did. I'm disappointed we can't make our own Rommel in this. For the Preservation of our Blue and Fuzzy World!

I want to touch his paw pads like that one scene with the Champ.

Anyway, it's the way it starts, and the little things that come across. Divers reminded me of it too. some of it is the MMO premise of the thing, with distinct areas and missions, same as .Hack had. This one is just giant robots instead of set classes...mind I WAS running a twin blade, until I found out Whips are just as OP in this one as GB3.
