Another Century's Episode/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** A fair bit of the fandom's also appreciating the Black Overman XAN from ''[[Super Robot Wars Z|Super Robot Wars Z Special Disk]]'' as an unlockable unit, with Gainer being its sole pilot.

** As is the [[Chars Counterattack|Hi-Nu Gundam]] (whom fans have been clamoring in past installments), [[Full Metal Panic!|Bonta-Kun]], [[Crossbone Gundam|"Skull Heart"]], and an [[Macross Frontier|Armored Klan Klang]]. The fandom is pleased, indeed.

** {{spoiler|Second-to-last boss fight: HOLY SHIT! [[Armored Core|NINEBALL SERAPH?!]] HELL YE- wait... [[That One Boss|NINEBALL]] [[Oh Crap|SERAPH]]?!!}}

* [[Author's Saving Throw]] - Fans began [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|discontented grumbling]] soon after notorious director Takanobu Terada announced R would be limited to approximately three mecha per series. In an impressive turnaround time, Terada made a second post the same day, explaining any mecha with upgrades (such as the [[Code Geass|Lancelot Conquista and Albion]]) or alternate equipment setups (such as the [[Macross Frontier|VF-25F Messiah]]) would be considered a single unit for the purposes of headcount, meaning that "three per series" was true [[From a Certain Point of View]]. Of course, fans aren't too upset, seeing as this means there will be more playables than previously anticipated; for example, ''[[Code Geass]]'' has six machines (the Lancelots, Guren Flight and SEITEN, Shinkirou, and C.C.'s Akatsuki), and ''[[Macross Frontier]]''has all five primary pilots (Alto Saotome, Mikhael Blanc, Ozma Lee, Luca and Klan)

** The Buster Ark's Riot Shot attack in 2 which, due to a [[Good Bad Bug]], can literally [[One-Hit Kill]] any enemy if used at point-blank range

** And of course, the [[Eureka Seven|Nirvash typeZERO Spec 3]] in 3, easily the most powerful unit in the game (and indeed, is a [[Bragging Rights Reward]] for clearing each and every hidden mission). It only has three attacks/weapons, two of which are on par with the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|RX-78-2 Gundam's]] Beam Rifle and Wing Zero Custom's Rolling Buster Rifle, and a third which ''prevents nearby (non-boss) enemies from attacking for a short while''. Couple all that with reduced damage compared to other mechs, and moderately swift reload/recharge times, and you have a playable unit that can make even the [[Final Boss]] run home crying for mommy

** One of the ART-1's Tension attacks can one shot almost all large [[Mooks]] if you hit the right place. That, and it's a [[Lightning Bruiser]]. In fact, were you to max Ryusei's stats early in the game, the rest of the missions makes R a joke.

** The Hi-Nu Gundam. JUST, the Hi-Nu Gundam.

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] - R generated harsh criticism in Japan for removing nearly everything about the older games but the [[Crossover]] nature and action-oriented style, fixing what wasn't broken

** The staff had stated outright that R is an [[Obvious Beta]]. At this rate, there won't be a release version.

** This has become a bit of a complaint concerning R, as well: of all the included series, only [[Macross Frontier]] has its plotline resolved within the context of the game. The other series' denizens are simply sent back to their original worlds in order to work out their differences amongst themselves.
