Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

I've noticed something about how they're adding in new series and stories. Banpresto seems to be adding in new series according to their chronological release either for their storyline or for the platform they came out on.

In OG1 they stated with Alpha 1 as because it was the first of the Alpha series, but threw in Masaki and the Cybuster as the beginning of the Classic series and Kyosuke and Excellen because Compact 2 was the first Compact game with original characters (and Impact was the first PS2 SRW).

In OG2 they started with Lamia and Axel from Advance, the first SRW game for the Gameboy Advance, and moved into Alpha 2's storylines with Arado and Sanger.

When OGS and OGG came out they included Reversal (the second GBA game), Compact 3 (the last Compact game), the Great Battle story which they kind of alluded to with Gilliam, and even previewing MX (the next PS2 game after Impact and Alpha 2) and even the anime, manga and audio drama stories that came out after the original OG2.

Now in 2nd OG there got the Destiny (the third GBA game), Kusuha and Ibis' Alpha 2 stories, the Real Robot Regiment and Lost Children stories, MX's main story, and the beginning of Alpha 3.

I think it's safe to assume that the series that will end up in this game will follow this chronological rule. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some EX stuff with the Cybuster. We may not see Judgement because they probably don't want to finish off another platform just yet. I hope they do start with the DS games though, W is my favorite non-OG game.

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

They largely seem to be following the expected path...

It only makes sense that OG1 started with Alpha 1 and SRW2 so they can start both the Alpha storyline and the Alpha timeline. Kyosuke and Excellen seem to be one of the few SRW mains that can stand up to the SRX team in terms of popularity so it makes sense. Masaki appeared in Alpha 1 (not sure if he first appeared in SRW2 or what) so the sense continues.

OG2 continues making sense with continuing adding Alpha Gaiden, Alpha 2 and SRW 3 storylines. But the problem with Alpha Gaiden is that it takes place in an alternate timeline so to bring in the Thrudgelmir piloted by Alpha Gaiden Zengar they needed a way to include hence something like the final addition... SRW A.

OG Gaiden can really go either way... however it looks like they wanted mostly self contained stories that they could kick away after completion hence Compact 3 which leave and the conclusion of SRW R which meant no more R mecha. OG alluded for quite a while now that the Earth Federation was going on a path of less then righteous which makes sense to see MX appear in OG Gaiden to say it's coming.

And with 2nd OG on the way it's just a continuation of the normal ideas seeing largely what we'd expect in terms of actual Super Robot Wars games.

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

@angelwingzero Since what you say about the chronological rule is true we could see the ultra-obscure originals from SRW Game Cube.
not sure if he first appeared in SRW2
He did.
Thrudgelmir piloted by Alpha Gaiden Zengar they needed a way to include hence something like the final addition... SRW A.
Not to mention with no Astranagant they couldn't exactly use Alpha Gaiden's final boss Aurgelmir.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see some EX stuff with the Cybuster.
Me neither, mainly Volkluss since in EX it did revive Neo Granzon and that in turn allowed some events for 4/F/F Final.

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

Well, since Terada state that he never has plan to include 64 in OGverse (though I guess it's because A's original mech are just better than those), he might skip other titles as well. I have feeling that Real Robot Battleline will be one of those titles.

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

I wonder who the final boss will be for 2ndOG? AI1, the final boss of MX? Perfectio, the final boss of Destiny or Irui Gan Eden, the final boss of Alpha 2?

Most of the story bosses will probably be thrown to the end of the game like Alkaid, Duminass, Dark Brain, and Shu in OGG. I think Duval is going to be one of those half-game bosses like Bian or Jurgen.

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

If Irui does show up.
I wonder if it will lead in space faring trip to the Balmar homeworld or if they would come to Earth somehow instead?

I think they will have Irui be the main focus of Ibis' storyline because she seems to have the most connection with her through Alpha 2 and 3.

Well I was thinking if it follows Alpha 2 then Alpha 3 inthe next game, how would they get to that planet?

Re: 2nd Super Robot Wars OG

Wouldn't they just take the Alpha 3 route and use the Crossgate?

Anyways if these rumors are true I'm kinda disappointed. Especially with the lack of the other OG people for a good part of the game. Though I'm kinda assuming this doesn't include Kusuha, Ibis, Excellen and Kyousuke. I personally have always hated the MX originals so that route doesn't sound fun, RRR doesn't interest me too so same with that route. Alpha route is where I'd go with whatever is left with Alpha...

Not a big fan of that design(or any OGIN design), but that would be alright I suppose.

Even though the design is not much of a radical design change from the original.

That is the design of the Valsione, not much difference except the shoulders and it's a little touched up more.

If the SRX team really is absent from OG 2nd, then OG 3rd had better be the Alpha 3rd story. :P

Oh boy I hope they don't do that crap again, the SRX is one of my favorites. Maybe they'll elaborate on what they were doing during the Alpha 2 storyline.
