Next Super Robot Wars

[WhatsSmoking]

What everyone would like to see?

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Because they added Netflix ultraman and gridman here on ARW 30, I am hoping they'd add Netflix Voltron, GMA's Oltes V Legacy and/or ABS-CBN's Daimos to the next game.

I like to see some new stuff to the base game. Like actually upgrading bases that would give bonuses. Leave units at bases for training so you do main missions with certain units the other units could be training or maybe the base is attack while your core is doing something else. Big Convoy i like alot of your picks but I always enjoying the Char Armuro mix. I like to see Heroic Age added. Macross and when i think about it a couple others.

Do I sense a fellow XCOM Commamder on this discussion?

Instead of just having the player's main character as one of the grunts that just sorties into battle, how about the MC ACTUALLY being the Commander of an Allied Ship? I know I could be a better captain than Mitsuba as she's absolutely garbage at it.

Yes I played xcom but I say base more like xenonauts where the base gets attack and you can have soldiers there and defense that you build there. Also like to see certain characters that have rank have sub units that can be assign to them.

You should give Phoenix Point a go then.

I have not my taste weird but we have got sidetrack anything else people like to see a certain series or something else but in the game. I hope new game+ for the next one keeps all the stuff you put on characters stays on them like the others.

I omitted various series since I know those series are staples of the SRW brand, so I know that they will make it in. Also, having bases doesn't make sense in SRW, since you are meant to travel around to different locations, while occasionally returning to the main base. Characters have to travel around for story reasons.

Having a the main character in a battleship instead of a mecha will limit the amount of battle that they can participate in, since a battleship is a support unit instead of a frontline unit, sure the Iron Gear or the SDF-1 can transform, but it still doesn't change the fact that they are mainly meant for support and not a frontline unit. Also, battleship attacks are rarely as flashy as opposed to if the main character pilot a mecha. From a narrative standpoints, it make sense that the main character pilot a mech, since the rival also pilot a mech. And at some point in the game, the main character and their rival will have a one on one fight and having two mech fighting each other just looks better.

They could always upgrade the fight scenes between but I know thats asking to much and for your other point for bases i kinda disagree cause there are some units that do really get dont used and you do visit alot of different bases that seem to be always somehow defenseless. I mean add some turrents at least even Battletech had turrents for there bases.

[Big Convoy]

Well, I always make it a point to use all units/pilots because you never know when the game will decide to throw a wrench at you by giving you a stage with a predeployed group where you have to survive X amount of turns before reinforcements arrived. Also, as I mention, leaving characters behind just doesn't make sense from a story standpoints, the best way I see to implement your wish is to just have playable faceless grunts.

In New Game +, you get a fraction of the total amount of endgame money when starting, but upgrades are reset. The only game that I know of that carry over the upgrades, at least the one in my collection is SRW W for the DS.

The feature that I want them to bring back is the Bazaar where you can buy Option Parts and sometime, grunt units. I also want them to bring back the Final Dynamic Special combination attacks in future game.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

"Battleships are just Supporters", you say? So I take it you don't use the "Mobile Sortie" technique then?

Take for example the Nadesico B, and C, from SRW V. I utilize the strategy with it all the time, moreso during "Kill all enemies under X number of turns" missions. Battleships with Map attacks are so awesome when used with the strategy. Give the Battleship Main Pilot the "Hit and Run" skill and let enemies come to your map attack's range. Fire at 'em, then move to a different location and let your mechs finish the job.

Battleships WITHOUT Map Attacks kinda suck though, moreso if its Pilot doesn't have the Commander skill.

I'd also like them to bring back the Bazaar as a way to obtain rarer mechs.

Two other features I'd like them to re-implement are the "Twin" system, as seen on SRW OGs on the PS2 and the "Group of four Mechs as one unit" mechanic from SRW Alpha 2, or was it 3?. As well as Ammunition crafting.

[Big Convoy]

Now, unless something have changed, MAP attacks will always hit friendly units along with enemy units. The only character I know of that have a MAP attack that target only enemy was Tekkaman Hiver. The only reason that I can see for giving Hit & Away to the battleship captain is so that the ship doesn't lag behind other friendly units.

By mobile sortie, do you mean docking units into the battleship, moving the battleship and then redeploying the units? If so, then I never use it, since I don't see a need to, and doing so lower the Will of all units in the battleship when you redeploy them.

Speaking of Nadesico, next time that Prince of Darkness get use, please bring back this unit:

Something minor that I want them to bring back is the static/white noise animation that gets played over the pilot portrait when their unit gets destroyed. Also, bring back the constanly decreasing HPs for when a unit used an attack with a long animation.

Yes, please and thank you.
That was my first anime (not technically, but when I I was old enough to know what it was) and the reason I first bought Super Robot Wars J, the first SRW game I played.

I am perfectly fine with Macross and Go-Lion, my REAL first anime. Go-Lion in particular if the game comes out in English would be most welcome.

Macross II and Macross Plus are most welcome. I don't need a revisit of anything after that at this time. At the very least NOT 7...

[Big Convoy]

If and when they're bringing back Tekkaman Blade I and II, then please let us save Evil this time around. They allowed us to save Rapier, but for whatever reason, Evil still has to die. Also, please give us a combination attack with Blade, Rapier, and Evil, it can even be acquired during the battle with Omega.
