Super Robot Taisen:Original Generations

[Sei]

^ Thanks it's from "Super Dimensional Century: Orguss", just in case if you didn't knew. After all this series is pretty obscure, but it is pretty good and has unique mechanical designs .

Heh. I had the mech in your avatar as an action figure when I was little. I always thought it was from robotech and that that's how it was sold, but I never really knew where it was from.

http://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2008/07/140-orguss-orgroid.html this particular one. I really liked it, and always sort of wondered why it's plane mode didn't really look like a plane.

Maybe I should look this series up. I am a sucker for mech series. A toy store around us had a lot of these figures back then, I sort of kick myself for not getting more of them, particularly Pod's, Valkyries (they only had the brown one and for some reason I didn't want it) and Mospeada figures (Mospeada was my favorite arch in robotech). Oh well, I forgot about this and by the time I remembered, gathered my allowances, and went to that store again, about 6 months had passed and they were all gone.

[jaykho213]

If only Banpresto's bitch ass didn't announce Original Generations so soon after Original Generation 1 and 2 was released, we probably would've got this instead of the GBA ones.


Damn right! But i already played OGS and OG Gaiden in the PS2. Pretty good!

The new SRW Game Super Robot Taisen Z is far more awesome!!

[Olethros]

This thread needs less robot talk. :p

[Hossaria]

Well Sei, Orguss was created by Studio Nue, the same people who created and designed Macross.

[Sei]

Ah. I have never actually seen an episode, but I rather liked Macross. How's the plot?

Also, awesome sig.

[Hossaria]

Basically, a soldier named Kei Katsuragi activated a "space-time" dimensional bomb to destroy a space elevator, but the explosion transported him 20 years into the future, where he's rescued by a race of humanoids called Emaan. Kei is then forced to survirve in a distorted, post-war world, with only the help of the Emaan against the other civilizatons that merged with Earth after the explosion. The plot is way deeper, but I didn't want to spoil it.

[StrikeRaider]

Gah you guys make me feel so young.

Super Robot Thread = talk about Super Robots. Deal with eeet!

[Sei]

Hossaria: Souds pretty neat. Sorta reminds me of Future boy Conan which I really liked when I was little. I'll look it up!.

I guess that studio also did Escaflowne, which I rather liked (sans movie).

[sdragon21]

My god, 1,000+ posts!!! That's off the wall!!!

[Sagadego]

and no english ver. annoucement

[Sei]

^ Yet.
:)

[StrikeRaider]

Hey, it can happen. It's not like any of the robots are licensed by different companies right?

[Hossaria]

Gah you guys make me feel so young.

Super Robot Thread = talk about Super Robots. Deal with eeet!
And don't forget about the Real Robots too.

[Sei]

Hope remains high. After all, Eternal Poison is Banpresto too, so who knows, there might be something there.

I saw the first episode of Orguss 2 yesterday, it seems pretty okay, I haven't really found the first series anywhere, and there seem to be some episodes of it missing, so :(.

I think the only super robot series I actually like is Gekigangar 3 :). And the Getter robo that's out there, but usually not a fan of reset button shows. I do like the intro songs, though.

[Hossaria]

Orguss is definely one of the best real robots show ever made, but the OVA was too short. I also think there's hope for OG, as long as this thread remains alive.

where could i get a copy of OG'S for PS2? I've played the GBA versions, but the PS2 version looks sweet.

[Kakizaki]

I'm guessing Play Asia.

[Kakizaki]

Yeah there were some ideas in the OVA that I would have liked to see expanded on further.

Orguss did receive a full DVD release in the U.S. last year and I purchased the boxset. However the third disk is totally messed up and I really can't do anything about it anymore. :/

Breaks my heart as I wanted this to make it to the U.S. complete for years.

Still would like to see Fang of the Sun Dougram make it.

[Vyse-20XX]

I'm guessing Play Asia.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

Look into the following:

Aquarion
Giant Robo
Gunbuster
Gurren Lagann
Godannar
Gao Gai Gar - The king of all super robot shows.

That's a lot of G's.....
This is some of the best of the best, and many of them have a lot of cross genre appeal as well.

[Sei]

Hmm, I did watch Mazinger and liked it, but I was quite little. I'm sorta curious about Gurren Lagann, I heard Gainax was making a movie for it or something, how's its plot/continuity?

I'll try and look some of them up. As good as Gekigangar 3, though? :)

Edit: Hmm, amazingly enough Play Asia has the US OG2 for GBA new in stock http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-b5te-71-68-49-en-15-original+generation-84-j-70-1mma.html

Anyway, here's the link for the limited edition of OG Gaiden which is back in stock, comes with the ART- 1 for only 60 http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-b5te-71-44-77-3-49-en-15-super+robot-84-j-70-29j3.html I got this one and the figure is quite nice. It's in Japanese, though, and you need either a modded ps2 or Swap Magic to play it. Or, a Japanese Ps2 I suppose, but I am not quite sure about how common those are.

[Hossaria]

Look into the following:

Aquarion
Giant Robo
Gunbuster
Gurren Lagann
Godannar
Gao Gai Gar - The king of all super robot shows.

I have to disagree, some pretty good shows are missing on this list. What about:

Brave ExKaiser, the first in the Brave series (King of Braves Gao Gai Gar)
RahXephon
Demonbane
Dangaioh - Hyper Combat Unit
Ninja Senshi Tobikage
Diebuster:Aim for the Top 2!
Hades Project Zeorymer

[StrikeRaider]

Gurren Lagann is awesome. There is a time skip but the beginning wouldn't make sense without it. It's a huge tribute to the old giant robot shows especially Gao Gai Gar.

[Sei]

Hmm.. Is Heroic Age considered super robots, real robots, or nothing at all?. I sort of found it interesting, the super skin tight outfits were disturbing though.

Gao Gai Gar Op: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2IfkqGetDs It looks pretty awesome, especially the animation so I think I'll give it a watch for sure, thanks :)

[Zantagor]

I loved Gao Gai Gar, though the end of Gao Gai Gar Final was a bit of a let down, the rest was pretty sweet

[Hossaria]

Hmm.. Is Heroic Age considered super robots, real robots, or nothing at all?. I sort of found it interesting, the super skin tight outfits were disturbing though.

You could say it's a hybrid series, but do you think those outifts are really that tight? I've seen tightiers.

You tell me!. Do show!

[Hossaria]

Just in case, this is from Godannar, not a hentai.

NSFW Watch out for camel toes!

Holy!.

I stand corrected. Why now I think that Heroic ages are conservative if anything.

How do those poor things breathe?

[pancakesandsex]

Giant Robo
Gunbuster
Gurren Lagann
Godannar

RahXephon
Demonbane
Dangaioh - Hyper Combat Unit
Ninja Senshi Tobikage
Diebuster:Aim for the Top 2!
Hades Project Zeorymer

I did say "some" of the best of the best.

Rahxephon is an excellent show but lies in that kind of grey area genre wise (like eva). I wouldn't really consider it representative of the super robot genre. Gunbuster 2 isn't as good as the original, but would be a natural watch after the 1st one. Zeorymer is awesome and should be seen. You can still find it cheap if you look hard enough, but I think it is out of print.

I have yet to see the rest of the brave series, but i want to see Might Gaine pretty bad. They are also unlicensed. Demonbane sucks :P Dangaioh is awesome (not Great Dangaioh, the original), but no longer in print / unlicensed, Tobikage is also unlicensed.

Also, sei, look into the Gurren tv series, you can get the entire series subbed in 3 volumes (6 discs) from bandai fairly cheap will be OOP soon because bilingual discs are coming out, so if you don't care about dubs, grab it. There is no point in waiting for the digest movies at this point since noone even knows if they will be a suitable replacement for the tv version or not. (not even in theaters yet)

Regarding Godannar: It's about newlywed super robot pilots and the character designer is the same as GGG and Betterman. AIC did the animation. You....have to see it. It has a very satisying ending.

[StrikeRaider]

Was gonna say, if it doesn't show camel toe then it isn't tight enough.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Day One!

[Onion of Mystery]

You know what, if my boss has to come over and yell at me for looking at something, then I have to tell him that it's on our own site, then it probably shouldn't be on here. Links next time, people.

[Kakizaki]

My bad. I didn't think it was that graphic.

[Hossaria]

I did say "some" of the best of the best.

Considering so many missing classics, that's laughable, but if you're referring to licensed anime, it's alright then.

Demonbane sucks :P
It is whorty, because of the Cthulhu Mythos...
DON'T YOU DARE DISRESPECT CTHULHU!!!!! :devil:

Also if GGG (+ Final), Giant Robo, and Gunbuster are not in your top 5 ever you have something wrong with you :P

[Hossaria]

I'm not really a fan of super robots so, besides Gunbuster, they aren't :D

Those aren't my top 6. They are in no particular order. I was recommending super robot shows exclusively since sei said he hadn't had much introduction to the genre besides one of the Shin Getter incarnations. Finally, GGG and Final are basically one show, Final does not stand alone at all. It is the icing on a delicious, delicious cake

December 9th for Gunbuster movie blu ray btw :-D Getting the 3 disc version~

[Hossaria]

An OVA sequel isn't necessarily part of anime itself, you could watch the entire series without GGG Final. That's why I consider Final optional, even though it is a direct sequel.

How could you stop after the TV series. T_T Have you no soul?

But seriously, yes it's "optional" but I lump them together because watching them together is a much more memorable experience than the TV series alone. Anyway, I'm done with this now, hopefully sei finds something he likes from that pool of titles.

[Sei]

Thank you for your recommendations guys, I'm looking up a couple of those, namely Gurren Lagan GGG and Godannar for now. I hope they are good. I rather liked the art style. I'll let you know what I thought when I see them, but it might be a bit.

I wish they would hurry up and release the second eva movie already, too.

[Hossaria]

How could you stop after the TV series. T_T Have you no soul?

To tell the truth I'm just frustrated, because I couldn't find it anywhere :(
I've been thinking about importing it lately though.

[sdragon21]

Yep. Unfortunately several are from me. :frown:

[Zeether]

So guys, what are the best super robot dubs? I'd say G Gundam and GaoGaiGar had good ones but GGG's got cut off due to lack of sales (more like, Media Blasters can't promote a series worth a crap)

[Zeta_Nova]

It'd also be cool that the licensors would give their blessing to atlus. So Atlus would re-instate the actors or perhaps enroll new ones for these characters in the SRT game.

[StrikeRaider]

I know the fansub business with crunchyroll is gonna boom. I wonder if by using that they'll screen which series should get dubs?

[Constraint]

For **** sakes, release it already D:.

[rico25]

Please release any super robot taisen game(s) for any system. The SRTW OG games for GBA were EXCELLENT. Excellent reviews and I had alot of fun. There's a rabid fanbase developing here in Canada as well. I hope they do bring english version of any SRTW games to North America. Thanks!

[Zantagor]

^ I hope it's for the US too soon! Onion lessgo!

Wow, Sei that is a nice pic of the models. What scale is that in? I been looking for a Altesien and Altesien Riese model that like 1/100 or 1/60

Those are 1/100, here are more pics of the Alteisen and the Alteisen Nacht
http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2007/11/1100-alteisen-coolsome.html

Pretty awesome, I agree. Note the comparison with the RX-78 Gundam!

I also have the Unicorn model, and want to get the Sinanju, but it's preorder sold out too fast.

ya, took me around 9 hours to assemble.... and there's a piece which got unsnapped on the chest, and I didn't want to disassemble it at this point ;)

[Sei]

Heh, I don't know the case for the SRT models, but the Gunpla ones are really resistant. Mine have fallen and have had all sorts of cat related incidents, yet I've never had a part break or a joint go loose. So dissasembling it should be fairly safe :). Unless the issue is the work around it which is :(.

What do you think of the model overall, and compared with others (if you have more?)

[Sei]

I figure the people that follow this thread may be interested to know that there is now a very good and easy way to play Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden PSX in english :)

Yeah, the big thing that keeps the non-OG SRW games from coming over the crazy licensing nightmare that one would have to wade through to get one of those games over here - even if it could be worked out, it could cost enough money to likely bankrupt Atlus, and most companies, a time or two over.

^If you are asking about non SRW/SRT titles, then yes, there are quite a few other mecha based titles.

As far as SRW games go, not really. THere's SRW:OGs Gaiden, but that would reequire us to get OGs first, and there'a Mugen no Frontier, but that's a traditional RPG set in an alternate universe (and has already been suggested here). There's other mecha games that maybe Atlus could consider, but none that are SRW.

[Kyoji]

I don't see why they haven't even tried to bring over SRW OGs, but whatever. :/

Still hoping.

[Zeether]

Guys, I think Namco Bandai USA has the license for SRTOG Mugen no Frontier...at least someone told me they might have it.

Its actually pretty lame news since SEED was by far the crappiest gundam show next to Wing. Gundam X ranks up there too.

I dunno, I liked Gundam X. Anything that heavily references Universal Century is cool on my book. Agree with Wing and Seed being not the best gundam shows, tho.

Lol, since this is a SRT:OG tread ;)

I might be starting to translate the game live on my JTV broadcast soon ;)

Bear in mind that this mean the game will progress atrociouly slow(Quite a few minutes per dialog paragraph I guess), as my vocabulary is very limited for now, so I'll need to use my reference materials (Kanji dictionary, Particle Ref dictionary, Verb/Adverb/Adj ref dictionary). But as I go, it'll probably pick up pace.

I'm mostly doing to because I've been slacking off on my japanese learning for too long, and this seems like a good opportunity and way to get back into it ;)

It'll probably be Kyosuke's route, since I already complete Ryusei's once.

Dunno when I'll start doing it though. (I need to get a better microphone anyway first)

Oh ya, and I wink too much ;)

[Hossaria]

Whoa it's been a while, Gundam X is pretty good compared to G Gundam and SEED, it has a nostalgic U.C feeling, it's not a masterpiece but worth watching anyway....can we agree that G ranks first?

[pwn3d]

Was SEED really that bad? I mean it wasn't really good but I found it to be decent... SEED Destiny I WILL admit was terrible.

Oh ya, and I wink too much ;)

By voice?

[Zantagor]

Lol, since this is a SRT:OG tread ;)

I might be starting to translate the game live on my JTV broadcast soon ;)

Bear in mind that this mean the game will progress atrociouly slow(Quite a few minutes per dialog paragraph I guess), as my vocabulary is very limited for now, so I'll need to use my reference materials (Kanji dictionary, Particle Ref dictionary, Verb/Adverb/Adj ref dictionary). But as I go, it'll probably pick up pace.

I'm mostly doing to because I've been slacking off on my japanese learning for too long, and this seems like a good opportunity and way to get back into it ;)

It's short but I think the stories are great and the Zudah is one of my favorite Mobile Suits. MS Igloo 2 ep 2 comes out on the 23 :D

^ I think there are two compilation movies, so you can just do those if you want just the barest plot. It is very different from the other Tomino Gundams. Also the Mech designs were made by Sid Mead and some people don't like them. Just a warning!

I actually bought a model of Turn A because I like how distinctive it looks. It is fairly neat other than the chew marks on one of his swords due to cats. Dunno if they mean the cats hate that particular model or they love it. They also keep knocking down my High Grade Zaku, and I guess it's a testament to how well built Gunpla kits are that nothing on it has broken!

[Hossaria]

I didn't think G Gundam was bad at all. It was pretty fresh and interesting. Very different from most Gundam shows though.

I never watched it, but since the Gundam franchise created the real robot genre, it just feels weird to see Gundams fighting each other in a very super robot way.

[Sei]

Well, they were Real Robots! (Mass produced, nothing mystical, easily justifiable abilities, military as opposed to civilian use) I think it's as Super Robot as the random psycommu stuff in the UC Gundams. No newtypes or similar either.

Some things, like Asia's scarf attack do push it though, but I really liked it quite a bit more than say Gundam Wing (Which I find boring compared with most other Gundams in how overpowered their Gundams are)

Certainly not the best show though! Igloo is my favorite followed by maybe 00 (plot, hate the mechs) Unicorn (although reading it is slow and painful) and then I dunno. Probably the other UC offshoots like 8th Ms team and War in the pocket. What order would you rank em?

[MoogleGunner]

So guys, since apparently they're still able to get rights to translate OG games, we still might get these. I, for one, am excited.

[cj iwakura]

If the rumor I heard about SCEA stopping them from bringing over OG PS2 is true, don't get your hopes up.

[MoogleGunner]

Something about requiring fully dubbed voice work, and that Atlus didn't have the budget for it.

Seemed fishy to me too, since Trapt only had Japanese VA.

Then they probably wouldn't care about this either, hopefully.

I dunno, the DS release gives me hope. Bunch of people said it wouldn't happen, and it did.

Hopefully SRT OG will follow along those lines and be announced one of these days. There is also the thing that, like in Spectral Souls, Atlus has shown that they are able to come up with required voices "on the cheap" if need be!

Well, I don't think I've seen the theory here yet, but I'll repeat what I believe the issue is from my post in the OG Saga thread.

I believe it's because of Bandai Entertainment holding the license for the Anime (Divine War and the Movie), which then turned the OGs into a licensed game. Considering how ridiculously priced the Dvds were going to be when first announced back before Bandai Visual folded and was absorbed into Bandai Ent, I can only imagine what their asking price would have been to localize the games.

[Purgeon]

I so hope that isnt true... Those dvd's were priced rediculously high, totally worth every penny, but still high. If that were the case though wouldnt bandai hold everything OG? I dont know much about copyrights. Who published saga in japan?

As far as Trapt goes, Trapt was a really obscure game that I doubt Sony cared too terribly much about. Assuming the rumor about the voice work is accurate, there's a lot more in your typical SRW game than a game like Trapt or Yakuza, and at the time Sony was still enforcing the regulation, as well as the fact that the game would be a (comparatively) higher profile release.

As for Yauza, either it's so late in Sony's lifespan that they stopped caring, or they didn't have enough faith in it as a money maker to care.

Any game that Atlus brings over that's not an Atlus JP game is a licensed game. Nothing SRW is any different. Hell, Namco, premerger, and the whole of NamcoBandai post merger are somewhat known for their refusal to license most of their games out (with the exception of a few oddities, like ToEPSP seeing a PAL release), which is why I'm so surprised Atlus got OGSaga to begin with.

[Zeta_Nova]

So guys, since apparently they're still able to get rights to translate OG games, we still might get these. I, for one, am excited.

I also second that as well. I've been wanting to play the voiced version of SRT OG. And like most of you, seeing OG Saga now coming to the U.S gives me hope as well.

[Constraint]

The only obstacle this game has for atlus is dub

[Latooni11]

If it was up to me, I would say that we don't even need dubs. I myself would rather play the game with the Jappanese Audio, and only have the text translated.

Honestly, I really don't see what is holding Atlus back. I absolutly loved the GBA games, and I would Pre-order this game if it was to come out. And if they released the GBA games, what is so hard about getting the PS2 game passed?

[landlock]

Hell, Namco, premerger, and the whole of NamcoBandai post merger are somewhat known for their refusal to license most of their games out (with the exception of a few oddities, like ToEPSP seeing a PAL release), which is why I'm so surprised Atlus got OGSaga to begin with.

Where Europe are concerned it's not rare at all neither Namco or Bandai have a European publishing arm. So while Namco Europe will do all the translations for the Namco games they always published by another publisher usually UBI Soft, EA or SCEE though since the merger most things come via Infogrames even the big games like Tekken 6 is being handled by Infogrames.(Bandai's partner for years).

In the case of TOE they most likely just used the PsOne translation originally done by Namco they weren't any extras were there?

[Ashilyn]

No, it's definitely a new translation (I have it). There were some new things added to it, iirc

[Hossaria]

Well, they were Real Robots! (Mass produced, nothing mystical, easily justifiable abilities, military as opposed to civilian use) I think it's as Super Robot as the random psycommu stuff in the UC Gundams. No newtypes or similar either.

Some things, like Asia's scarf attack do push it though, but I really liked it quite a bit more than say Gundam Wing (Which I find boring compared with most other Gundams in how overpowered their Gundams are)


Well, Gunbuster had a mass produced version of the titular mecha (the Sizzler series).
These battlecries like "Shining Finger" and this whole "gundams being charged with the pilot's chi" is typical of the genre, and many Super Robots from the 70's, like Zambot 3, didn't have mystical origins.

[Hossaria]

At last this thread is dead. Oh wait, I've necrobumped it?! Dammit....

[Sei]

I personally liked Rain's costume!

I just don't see what was so super about the Gundams in G Gundam, they weren't even particularly powerfull either. Well, they are in Gundam VS Gundam, but...

Maybe I just have the wrong idea of just what is a super robot heh.

[Olethros]

^ I think you're a super robot, Sei. :grouphug:

[Sei]

Thank you! :)

[Olethros]

No problem. :D

P.S. I know you prefer real robots, but that didn't seem to fit as well.

OK, now I'll get out of your SRT thread again! ;)

[goldsaint13]

:) Hi to you all!!!

I'm new here, but I hope to see Super Robot Taisen OG per Playstation 2 in USA version...

That game is damn cool!!!

I wonder if Atlus has news about it...

[Tatsuya Suou]

Hello, I have been looking at this thread and I see you're discussions in regards to a dub for OG. I can't say whether or not atlus will release it dubbed let alone have the money to do in the PS2's last days. But say that they are going to release it with a dub, how would you think it would work? I have made this thread for that! http://www.atlus.com/forum/showthread.php?p=102109 This is my OG dub project; it has a list of VA's that I think would work with the game. Tell me what you think and I'm open to improvements and questions.

[SRWplayer13]

I say it best to keep the original Japanese audio for the game if they do bring it over here. We don't need bad voice acting like Chaos Wars try to do. It best to keep it Japanese if they do bring it.

[Sei]

I'd love that but with this one I'll take what they give me. I'd even buy 2 copies, even.

[goldsaint13]

:D Dub won't be needed for this game... The Jap voice acting would be always a lot better anyway...

What we need from Atlus is only the translation of texts...

Let's face the real thing Atlus... This is the BEST game about Original Generation around!

Since you are converting Super Robot Wars OG saga Endless Frontier, why not this one?

:confused:

This is an amazing game:

[TheMagicHat]

I have copies of OGs and OGG in Japanese. I don't need a halfway done localized game just to satisfy my needs for Japanese VO. Dub it all in English, I say! :devil:

[Gunloc]

Adding my support.

[goldsaint13]

I have copies of OGs and OGG in Japanese. I don't need a halfway done localized game just to satisfy my needs for Japanese VO. Dub it all in English, I say!

It would be good to me, but I want the language selection for audio, so I can hear Jap voices even in the US version...

But leaving the Jap dub only would mean a cheaper conversion for Atlus and a lower price...

I'm in Italy and there are some Atlus games that are the cheapest around, like Baroque, only 9.99 € or so...

I would spend a lot more for Super Robot Taisen OG for PS2 since it's a great game, 2 upgraded RPGs in one disc...

[Tatsuya Suou]

I agree that I want to see this with the audio option to switch languages for two reasons; one to avoid fans from constantly complain about the not liking the dubbed version and two because personally I want to have it for comparisons and for fun. I posted the dub list on my last post to show what I think would make a good VA cast. I doubt that atlus would use any of the VA's I listed but I would like to see JYB as Ryusei and Sabat as Sanger.

Now on a side note, be sure to buy Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier when it arrives on April 28th to show atlus supports in you’re love for OG, so we can get the two OG's here. Also I would suggest that they would release it in a two disc set and price it at around 40.00$. And here is the VA list for those who didn't see my last post.http://www.atlus.com/forum/showthread.php?p=102109

I will... Even if there's no compare with the PS2 game that is the best of the series...
And Atlus should know it...

Also I would suggest that they would release it in a two disc set and price it at around 40.00$.

Do you mean both OG and OG Gaiden for PS2?

Yes, agree... :agree:


:confused: But, as for Atlus, what did they say about this matter?
Do they have intentions to consider the idea of publishing it?

[Tatsuya Suou]

I do not think Atlus has made any statement’s regarding OG and OGG. I know it didn't help much that OG 1 and 2 didn’t sell as well despite being two good games.

But to continue my suggestion on how to release it, I also think that if they were to make a collectors edition of this if they decide to do it, it should be like the ones in Growlanser, with all kinds of extras. Not only would it have both games but it could include the ost, artbook and a mini Gespenst figure. I expect that they would price it at 50.00$ or more, but I would buy it since it would be worth it.

[Zeta_Nova]

And as much as I'd also want to try the upcoming SRT K. This' mainly the only game that I'd want to try. The Original Generations and Original Generations Gaiden.

[TheMagicHat]

I almost considered OG Saga as a name for an OGs/OGG collection. Then I remembered the DS game of more or less the same name.

Something I've been thinking for a while now: OGs has 2.5, which is pretty much what OGG is except the latter has a lot more content (story/gameplay/whatever). If Atlus USA were to bring both games over, do you think they'd keep 2.5 in OGs or just drop it since OGG is 2.5 and then some?

I looked up OG 2.5 and I think that Atlus USA should include it because I heard that it ties some lose end in the storyline of OG and then it goes to OGG.

:DLolz, I thought that’s what you meant, don't mind me I was thinking there was another game that had that name. You know on another board that was first talking about this game they were talking about the game having that name and saying it had nothing to do with OG, but as we know that it takes place in another dimension like the shadow mirror world and it dose have four mechs form the OG games as well as many other cameos.

That being said to all those who read this post, I think the real resin Atlus named the game like that is to get people back into SRW and to see if it's worth bringing OG here before the PS2's life span is up. So do not forget to buy this for the sake of this thread.



Hmmm. I thought OGG did that and more. Then again, I'm still in the middle of the OG2 portion of OGs.

After reading you’re earlier post, I assume your playing the import. The same goes for me but with the GBA port, I up to the point where I get Wildwuerger and Ryukoou/Koryuou for the first time.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Alright Atlus Faithfuls, as I mention before I made a list in what I think would be good VA's for a dubbed OG. I have made my updates witch include a new list of the characters in they’re original voices for comparison, to see if others can find VA's they think would work and to show a quick reminder as to why we all what this over here, Atlus, I know you won’t disappoint.

The funny thing is, I found that video quite some time ago, and have watched it at least 10 times.

Man, watching that only makes me want these games more. I'm going to be perfectly honest here, the SRW OG games for the GBA, make it into my list of top ten RPG's. These are "GBA" games. The only other GBA game that made it even close was Fire Emblem.

I have no doubt in my mind, that if I got my hands on an english PS2 super robot taisen OG or OG gaiden, it would become my favorite game of all time. Atlus has not been dissapointing, and this one last push would make Atlus my favorite localizer ever. (Already almost there with the new SMT IMAGINE game)

[SRWplayer13]

It look like you is a big supporter for the game too. You can tell I one too of my user name and my signature. I have both GBA games, the OVA and Alpha 3 so I hope Atlus really do bring it over.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone in this forum actually payed $400 for the super robot tv series?

You're talking about the SRW OG: The Divine Wars? Can't say I haven't, the single disc one's that Bandai visual released was two much to begin with. Because of that and no dub on it, I didn't think it was worth it.



Now I was thinking while I was updating my dub project, that for the collators version that would have the game ost, artbook and mini Gespenst with it I think the Gespenst would be something like this sweet little number.

Yo. Totally worth every penny.

[Tatsuya Suou]

I fell I should post why I personally want this game due to my dub and collector version support as well as my telling newcomers to by OG: saga in my other posts. Hopefully there are others who could relate and bare with me if I sound long winded.

As I said before, I'm a SRW fan and more to the point a huge robot fan. For my rpg needs, many companies have served my needs, Atlus the most due to their release of Persona 2. Even when they localized to the first Disgaea game way back before NIS took over it; it was Atlus who got me into SRPG's. I know because of how bad the licensing issues are we won’t see any other game other than OG and I know the gba games didn't sell too well, that it is difficult for atlus to release it unless they fell that it will see better than the gba release.

Personally even though I have known of the SRW series for a long time, I have only started playing them recently. I love what I have seen in the games and how so many of you’re favorite robots duke it out at each other. The flashy and damaging attacks that they use in the game always get me. Both OG and OGG are the latest game in the SRW series aside form Z and K that feature’s everything the gba ones had and multiplies it times ten.

Why I want Atlus to bring it here is a simple reason, I just don’t want the trouble of finding a way to import it. I don’t know what is allowed to be discussed as far as playing imports on these forums but basically I have only owned a few import games and at the time I had a way to play it for the original Playstation. Then when PS2 arrived, I had to put those games aside because it took until the third Playstaion to find out there was a method to play imports on the PS2; but I no longer owned a PS2 then. Right now I have a PS3 that can play both PS1 and PS2 games and I was excited to find out that it was region free only to find out that it is only for PS3 games.

So, sorry for the long post, but that is why I want to see this come over here, because currently I have no way of playing it either way. I know others can relate of my reasons and once again I give my support for everyone on this thread to buy Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier when it comes out.

[Purgeon]

While I agree that it should be translated, could care less about a dubbing for this game, just text would suit me, I've grown very accustomed to their japanese voices... I have to ask, when has laziness ever been a good excuse for anything? The best way to import these games is to just buy the japanese system. Your missing out dude, especially on the alpha series which has no chance of seeing a stateside release. Yes buying a japanese ps2 is expensive but at least you dont have to do any tricks or use any kind of tools to mod it, you know it'll play your games 100%. I can't tell you how many gems I've found since importing my ps2. Totally worth the time, effort, and money.

[Decept]

So I have avoided this thread since lurking/joining, and I knew the reason I was avoiding this thread was because I was going to be disappointed, hugely disappointed by the fact that most of these gems will never be localized for legitimate reasons.

I recently started playing the GBA games after finding and buying both... OMG! They surpassed my expectations, as I am still not annoyed by the repetitive battle animations (I know they can be turned off) because they are still entertaining. Maybe its still in the new and exciting stage, but now I watched some videos of the PS2 titles, and they blew those out of the water... argh I want more, and my SRT:OG EF was pre-ordered awhile ago. I want more Huge Robots tho. Substituting Huge Bre... I'll stop there. Anyways, yea I figure I would post to show my support even tho I am a new fan, and haven't really played anything else in the series, but will guarantee buying any future installments, and when I say buy, I usually mean pre-order.

[Sei]

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Oh well, there seems to be a lot of SRT interest in the translation community of late with Judgement close to completion, other projects in the works, and Alpha Gaiden released.

Enough to tide someone over till this gets announced :)

[Zeta_Nova]

Well, the japanese VAs would suit me better. Like the text would convey what they're saying perfectly. Still it'd be interesting to hear the english VAs side of this game as well.

So, I would second...no, third this request for the game to be localized over here :). Because after all, this game's mostly made up of original mechs. There's no heavy licensing issues. Like that of SRT K, Z & W .

I can't tell you how many gems I've found since importing my ps2. Totally worth the time, effort, and money.

Believe me when I say that it is not laziness when it comes to buying a Japanese PS2. I know full well that it's worth it in the end but I must say this just to clarify things. I do have a PS2 along with my current system, except one problem, it doesn’t work. I don't know if it's just me with poor luck but ever since the first playstaion, I have suffered from my systems breaking down and not reading my game disc. I can't remember how many times I had to either replace it with a new, used or refurbished one or going to someone I knew at the time to fix some parts and even then it only works for a few more months. From what I have heard, the 60 gig PS3 I have doesn’t' have the problem of not reading game disc; and it has been working fine for the past year. I have no problem in buying a Japanese system, it's just that if history repeats itself and it no longer reads my game disc, than it will be even more of a struggle in getting a new one or fixing it. I did once consider buying one from a store named Lik-Sang.com until Sony themselves axed the store. As far as the dub thing, as I might of mention in my dub project that if the end result is that the game is only going to get translated without dubbed voices than I'll be ok with it. I made that thread just for my idea on how it would work, to see if atlus can pull it off and that one of the many debates as to altus work on the OG and OGG release is it's dub.

So I have avoided this thread since lurking/joining, and I knew the reason I was avoiding this thread was because I was going to be disappointed, hugely disappointed by the fact that most of these gems will never be localized for legitimate reasons.

I'm happy that you pre-order OG: saga. Like I said I have know of the series for a long time but only have started playing them just now. I have faith that with each purchase of Endless Frontier brings us one step closer to seeing OG and OGG in the states. If you haven’t seen my OG dub project thread it includes move list and sample voices of almost every character (in they’re mecha) in OG. And as a bonus I'll post this cool OG video that I found a few weeks ago.

:agree: That is true, right now I am playing Alpha Gaiden on my PC. So far I can play some playstaion games on it. But like I said before I don't know what’s allowed when it comes to discussing import games on the forums. The same goes for Persona 2:Innocent Sin that I'm also playing.

[Sei]

I think you are safe as long as you don't give direct links or instructions about stuff like that beyond google it, but I have never come across a specific rule. I do remember talk of someone being banned for getting an R4 though at some point in the past, so common sense might be in order.

I don't think the person actually got banned, but I try and play it safe, it was a while ago.

[dungeon_man]

There are a lot PS2 games I'd like to see localized. With development slowing down, it might be a good time to pick the best games we've missed and localize them for us poor North American gamers. I just don't know if there's any money in doing so. I seem to recall Atlus feeling a bit burned in 2006 when they released a bunch of GBA titles too late in the system's life.

Anyway, this is one of the many PS2 games I would like to see localized, so I support this thread.

[Ryole0259]

I Want This Game Now

[Decept]

I still buy PS2 games new/used so if they announced anything having to do with this series, I would be there Day One.

Off Topic Side Note: I love Weissritter. I love everything about that Mech. I want a model of it now. That is how much I love it and I haven't bought a gundam model (I know this isn't gundam, but it was at the time when gundam was pretty mainstream) in forever... like really long time ago.

[Zeta_Nova]

Damn yo, that's like over "9000" XD j/k. But yeah, I bet there'd be lots of happy fans if this game would finally cross to the U.S. Considering the endless super attack videos on youtube alone.

For more like the one Zeta_Nova posted, check out list two of my dub Project for move list and voice samples of almost every character in OG 1 and 2. I’m amazed that it's reached over 500 views.

I just wanted to mention that the japanese version of Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations is on sale for $15 at play-asia right now.

...you know, just in case it doesn't get localized.

[Zeta_Nova]

I'm not a fan of import games. I'd rather play them in their translated english version.

[Constraint]

I'm also not a fan of import games, but the super robot taisen series are easily enjoyable without translation.

Besides, who needs story when you have a bunch of giant robots beating the crap out of each other. :D

Seriously, some of the story portions of the OG games are seriously long. Too long to just page through blindly if you're really interested in what story there is. I know we have the GBA versions of OG/OG2, but a translated version of both plus OGGs would be ideal.

[wingzer012]

So long as Endless Frontier is a success, we might have some hope of getting them localized.

So when the release date of OG Saga comes around, I hope that it will be able to get good reviews and at least be able to sell a good amount of copies of it.

[gamerdood]

Endless Frontier is going to be awesome...but if this were coming out after that I would flip out.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Endless Frontier will be successful; I have faith that once this has been out for awhile Altuls will announce OG and OGG.


I'm also not a fan of import games, but the super robot taisen series are easily enjoyable without translation.

I have no problem with imports but I have to disagree with that commit on SRT series. It is true that it is fun even without translations, but I believe and personally feel that if I know what’s going on in the story I would enjoy it more. I first thought of non-translated game can be played depending on the game. I don't bother with RPG's but import games like fighters and shooters I can play with no problem. In the case of SRW I first thought that because the games history has many cameos of reals and supers (Gundam and Mazinger Z) that have story lines mostly the same as the show they are in, I didn't think knowing the story is necessary. That is until I started playing Alpha Gaiden and see that It brings more enjoyment if a import game has a translation and it gives me an incite on robot show's I know nothing about.

:agree: This I can totally agree on, I can't image playing this game without knowing what the heck is going on. Like I said above, I just find it more enjoyable if I know the storyline while playing my games. It just too bad most of the series won't come over here due to massive licensing issues. (On a completely unrelated note, I have heard that NIS America is bringing a game called Cross Edge over to the states that has characters from several NIS games and somehow capcom games, most notably Disgaea and Darkstalkers.)

[LordGeo]

I haven't played Atlus' GBA releases of OG1 & 2 mainly because I keep hoping that OGs and OG Gaiden will come over. For a bit I was thinking that ti would never happen, but with Atlus bringing over Endless Frontier, which I will buy as soon as it comes out, my hopes are rekindled once again.

Here's hopign for some more good SRW/SRT goodness...

[TheMagicHat]

(On a completely unrelated note, I have heard that NIS America is bringing a game called Cross Edge over to the states that has characters from several NIS games and somehow capcom games, most notably Disgaea and Darkstalkers.)
Speaking of crossover games, seeing as we're getting a crossover game of sorts ourselves in SRTOG: Endless Frontier, it does give me hope that Atlus will release NamcoXCapcom.

I have a basic enough knowledge of japanese that I can read through the story portions of OG/OGGs with a lot of help from dictionaries/kanji guides. Seeing a translated game, especially with Atlus' writing style, would just be a lot more fun, though.

That would certainly be interesting: Namco X Capcom brought to you by Atlus!

Really, with us getting Chaos Wars and Cross Edge over here, then bringing over crossover titles probably isn't anywhere near as hard as we think they are... It's not like Capcom and (Bandai) Namco are against the idea of bringing crossovers over here either, since they're both represented in Cross Edge.

I was kind of like that to, that I wanted to wait for the PS2 upgrade. I kind of singed up here to support Endless Frontier and my love of Altlus. I find it funny that my name came from a persona character and all I have been talking about lately is SRT. I guess currently playing GO 1 and 2 and the announcement of Endless Frontier did that to me.

That would be awesome; I always wanted to play that game. I heard there is a translation on it that has just been completed but if Atlus can find some way to bring NamcoXCapcom then I would be impressed.

An Atlus' writing style OG game would definitely be fun and if they do a dub of it I would love to see them give it "Odin Sphere" quality.

You know I think it has more to do on which company is being used at the time. Namco Bandai and Capcom are not against the idea as much I believe; I know Capcom has no problem given that all of the vs games (X-men vs street fighter, Marvel vs capcom, snk vs capcom, etc) has came over to the sates with the exception of there latest game. The main reason Tatsunoko vs. Capcom hasn’t been licensed yet is mostly due to Tatsunoko. The licensing to some Tatsunoko characters (like Yatterman) is a licensing headache. I would love if the latest SRW games like Z and K were to come over here but I know that it is hard to do. I think as far as Namco Bandai is conceded, the gundam line might be ok (what with dynasty warriors gundam bring bought over here without any problems) but everything else is a different story.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Speaking of Gundam in SRW, I have this small cilp/amv? of SRW@3 with various Gundam's as well as Macross and Evangelion. Showing this kind of give those new to the series an idea of what I meant on the above post. Even if there was somehow a way for the gundam licensed to work out there is still many more that must be taken care of.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQAs4Yr2RAk&feature=related

Sadly Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has a better chance given it is one company. But I will hope that will change one day and with Cross Edge and Chaos Wars coming over here we may see a change soon.

Wow, I would like to see this game translated as well. I swear that I would buy at least 3 copies immediately. This is one of the rare games that I could play anytime and anywhere. Heh, this even might sound stupid, but I'm pretty sure that this game would sell with super sonic speed, I could bet my life on it. So please Atlus, consider this while ps2 is still alive. OG and Gaiden English release would be like heaven on earth.

:agree: With everyone above =)

[Latooni11]

how is it even possible for a thread like this to go on for so long, get so much possitive input, and no response from Atlus... T_T

I love Super Robot Wars more than any other series in existance.

I would like to point out to the people who are saying it's "Just" a remake, that you are right and wrong. There are added characters, added mecha, and added story. Not to mention, the animations are so much more fun to watch that it's crazy.

Also there is OG Gaiden which adds and entire new game to the story of OG.

I love Super Robot Taisen, and with this much possitive feedback, it would be stupid for Atlus to overlook this game, when now is the best time to bring it over. I mean, the PS2 is dropping to $100 now, meaning more people are going to buy/rebuy a PS2. Now if OG could be released as well, I'm sure it would get a surge of sales.

They’ve unspoken response from Atlus is as follows, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. This is only my guess but given the way they named it, how they show off the OG mecha more than the main characters and announces that you get bonus for owning both OG 1 & 2' cartridges kind of make me think of they’re response. If this sells well we will get OG/OGG (and hopefully get the full treatment with dual language option and Collectors set)

Are you kidding? Then there is still hope after all. I'm gonna buy as much copies as I can to get my beloved OG translated. I know a lot of people would like English voices, but to tell you the truith, even though dual is best but I don't need it, let it be in Japanese, I just need text in English :D

True that. Japanese audio and English texts is the best way to go.

[TheMagicHat]

No it isn't. It's just the way YOU want it. And at least with Endless Frontier, you're getting it. :p

To be honest, I'm hoping the fact that Endless Frontier has japanese VO will make the japan-audiophiles put their money where their mouth is and actually buy the damn game. I don't know if it'll make a difference in getting OG/OGG over here, but at least it's something, however small.

There is NO excuse for not legally supporting the product now.

[Crimson Cloud]

Look, I understand that every game should have dual audio but I'm saying that if it's too much trouble to get English ones, Japanese alone is fine. And besides, when talking about OG and Gaiden, if all the conversations were voiced before the missions and after it that would be alright, but why would I want an English actor just for yelling COSMO NOVA! when I'm sure that it will sound much better on original Japanese.

:agree: I do agree when it comes to people legally buying the game. Although it might be a small chance it is still a chance. To quote something I once heard, it is possible to turn 1 percent to 100 percent chance of victory.

It all depends on how you look at it.

I want to say that I do want this to have an English option as long as the dub is done with care and it put is the fans of robot anime in mind. Because this is mostly an giant robot anime in game form; that is why I made my dub thread to give an idea on how it would be done regardless on if it’s from PB productions, from Canada or Texas or even if VA availability. I feel that because of good dubbed of such shows like G gundam, gundam Wing and Godannar I think that it can be done.

And on that subject, on my dub thread I have suggested that if altus were to dubbed this then maybe they should dub the text even though it is not done in Japanese. I don’t know about OG/OGG but in @ G sometimes the story text is voiced. I can vouch on my thread with @ version SRX in the link below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YokZ1IlInuY

And personally COSMO NOVA can be done just as good in English but I do think Akashic Buster might be hard to do dub. Look I know that if altus thinks it is too much trouble and not have dual language than I would accept it. With Endless Frontier they wanted to release it as soon as possible to bring back interest to SRT again, so that and there budget on DS titles aren’t as big that there is only a translation in it. Many say that English cant mach the intense hot blooded that is in most Japanese voices. For the most part that is true but there are many who have done it. Both godannar and G gundam have done good jobs in dubs that are shown in theses links below. I know that these have nothing to do with OG but if they were to put these into consideration then I think it will turn out right.

That's all I have to say, like I posted in other thread, I am not going to derail this into a dub/sub thread.

You got that right! And you have my thanks for stating this thread. No doubt that Atlus is finding some way to bring this over here. But the only thing that is in there way is the overall sales in OG endless frontier to see if the game is even worth bringing over here. I think that not only that it will be worth there time but I am sure that Atlus will be even more well known for bring this over. (I say this for the Growlanser series as well)

I will take back my commit from TheMagicHat in regards to wither they should release the game in both disc or in 2.5. After seeing a trailer of the 2.5 version, I think it would reduce cost if they were to make a collator version. ( but on second thought, if Atlus were to make the game with the other versions all on one disc then that would work too, kind of like the did with Arcana Heart) And for those new to my idea on it my take on it is the collector version will have the OG/OGG art book, ost of the game and a mini Gespenst that will be packed with the game, now that would be a wonderful Atlus SPOILS right there.

I also want to point out that once they announce it then I think the one thing they should do (and I think might be one of the reasons OG 1 and 2 didn't sell well as they hoped) is to advertise it somehow. I can't say how they should do it but at the very least they should release an official trailer for the game. For OG frontier they have shown character videos in GT but no trailer to show more gameplay and show off the extras. I don't know if one will be released in the end but for SRT:OG I feel it should be similar to the two trailers below.

Also when it comes to views, my dub thread has reached over 1000 views and I feel pretty good about it. (granted that the views are mostly for the mecha move list and less for the dub suggestions but it's still good) I have made some updates since and ask those here to give you're thoughts on who should voice who.

When this game is announces it is going to be BIG.

That is a mighty wonderful idea, especially for the art book because there is hardly any pics of OG saga around. People couldn't resist that now =)

I just hope that, if they except, that they bring it to ps2 soon after before my own don't hit the bucket lol

Glad you like my idea, with this it is a definite buy even for those new to the series. You’re right about the lack of OG saga pics, I would like to see more of this guy below. And on that other note my ps3's been acting weird lately.

Just to let those who view this thread I take back what I said about the trailer for frontier since it got added today and I have added the SRT OG Saga trailer from GT over the threads. The trailer is also on the Atlus Channel and the link is here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey6EJKVMlJ4

Now listen up; for all who want OG/OGG to come over here, give Atlus you're support and buy Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier coming next week. You'll be able to have “the Beowulf” fighting by you're side.

Okay, I have NEVER played any of the Super Robot Wars games, but this one interests me. The battles look insane, but what is the rest of the game like? In the trailer, it almost looks like a tradtional JRPG, which I like. Is that how it plays, with random battles, or is it something totally different?
I'm not familiar with any of the games, so I don't know what the overall play is like. Can someone 'splain it to me?

[Tatsuya Suou]

Well how can I explain this; this game is a hybrid of STRPG and a giant robot anime rolled into one. You can fully customize you Robot and Pilots with two types; (Super types and Real types) supers are like Mazenger Z and Reals are like Gundam. What I mean is that Supers have the most power but can't add many weapons to them while Reals you can add them but aren’t as strong as Supers. Both types can be upgraded things like armor and speed, you can also upgrade and improve you're weapons for both types. Pilots have various things that can be updated which are similar to any rpg game. The gameplay and story is much like a RPG that you could take different paths to alter the game. For gameplay you have you team on a grid and it plays like any STRPG but once you execute a command for one of you're units, that’s when the madness begin.(if you ever played the Disgaea series than it is similar to that only you get over the top robot action) There’s more in the game but that is the gist of it, and sorry for the long explanation.

I can say more but I think this trailer can give you an idea of the game. Also if you can, try to find SRT OG 1 and 2 for the gba that Atlus brought over. Playing those as well can give you an idea of gameplay. Plus the series as a whole share the same gameplay but those are of course the games with robots from other tv shows.

Also one more thing in case you’re curious, OG Saga Endless Frontier that is coming out next week is a side story or spin-off to the OG game and features different gameplay.

I hope that helped a bit and check out the traler of the ps2 version of OG 1 and 2 below to show you more.

Like you said its going to depend on original frontier ^^ which I have preordered on Amazon by the way :D

[Crimson Cloud]

I'm working extra now to get cash in order to buy Endless Frontier immediately. But I want to make this clear, it's not only to support OG for ps2 but for the game itself which looks awesome

@ Tatsuya Suou
What do you think about first few OG(ps2) preorders get a poster of Lamia Loveless in bikini with Vysaga in the background? :D jk
But I do hope it ends like you imagined it or at least some part of it.

[Kyoji]

At this point, I think Duke Nukem Forever has a better chance of appearing in the US before OGs does. :/

[peasantman]

At this point, I think Duke Nukem Forever has a better chance of appearing in the US before OGs does. :/

we don't need that kind of negativity. I'm positive Atlus will choose to localize this.

[Tatsuya Suou]

At this point, I think Duke Nukem Forever has a better chance of appearing in the US before OGs does. :/

Dude don't even joke like that; at least the SRW series as a whole brings us new games. (From Japan or otherwise). While Duke Nukem Forever is still in a "When it's done" state. Just wait, once those who view this thread buy Endless Frontier (and they better!) we will get this game by the end of the year.

But as far as having Vysaga in the background, that might be hard to do. There aren’t that many Vaisaga pics to begin with. I was able to find a nice SD one and this is for the SRW A version. If things go well I hope that my idea is look at by Atlus and some or even all of it gets into the release.

No it isn't. It's just the way YOU want it. And at least with Endless Frontier, you're getting it. :p
Yes, it is! As american voice actors WOULD probably PRONOUNCE the characters' names in english, straightfoward ways, like "Real say Dah they", "Shoe She-Ra cow ah!","Cool zoo ha! Missou ha!" or "Real toe He cow ah!". :P

Tatsuya, that last pic was awesome. Now if that was an official art, we would have some pretty good wallpaper :o

It's hard to find any artwork except fanmade around, although I'm pretty sure that there are full pics of all the characters in the game that we see leading a conversations. Just like these small pic shows below:
http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x99/Rodimus_Cloud/srw1fn8_2.jpg

They could make an artwork book similar to Persona 4's Visual Data, put few important faces with small biography wrapped up along the pics of characters and their different expressions together with their robots, and that would have been awesome. Yeah I know that I'm asking too much but I'm just saying. Translated game alone without cover is good enough for me :D

[Zantagor]

Damn yo, that's like over "9000" XD j/k. But yeah, I bet there'd be lots of happy fans if this game would finally cross to the U.S. Considering the endless super attack videos on youtube alone.

I see you enjoy the epic mecha movies as much as I do. I say for everyone who enjoys the battles in the gba versions of the game, the PS2 once blow them out the water. For more like the one Zeta_Nova posted, check out list two of my dub Project for move list and voice samples of almost every character in OG 1 and 2. I’m amazed that it's reached over 500 views.

[David_Bowie]

I would have to agree with everyone in the thread when I say I'd like to see this game make it to the states. I plan on buying Endless Frontier, if only to support more titles making it to the west. I know its a long shot, but it never hurts to try. So, please bring this game into consideration.

[Zeta_Nova]

While SRT OG EF is good in all. I'd rather play this game instead :D.

[rhosangjin]

I would like to agree with everyone in saying that I would definitely love to see this game be localized. 100% guaranteed to purchase. I believe this game has enough of a fanbase within America to sell more than enough to make up for the costs of bringing it here.

[Yukon]

I'm signing to have Generations localized.

There is very little epic win mecha games to be had in America these days.

I might as well go back to playing VO:OT and Mechwarrior 2.

And please Atlus, do it for him.

And on that subject, on my dub thread I have suggested that if altus were to dubbed this then maybe they should dub the text even though it is not done in Japanese. I don’t know about OG/OGG but in @ G sometimes the story text is voiced. I can vouch on my thread with @ version SRX in the link below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YokZ1IlInuY




OG and OGG have no voiced normal dialog. They only do that for the main games, and it's only a few times per game. Non combat scene voiced dialog is extremely rare.

Well, except D.W: Gundam and DW: Gundam 2 and MS Gundam: Crossfire. I'd agree with you there. And yeah, Capt. Daitetsu would be pretty happy if this were to get licensed :D.

[Rurik]

Just a thought, has anyone else considered the possibility of a DS port? Sure the graphics may not be as nice, but on the plus side they could add WiFi battles, or better yet, WiFi co-op missions.

[Zeta_Nova]

No offense Rurik, but what starts as an original jp system game will most certainly get carried over here from the same system.

Take
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. It started as a DS game in Japan. Thus will be releasing here on the same system. We'd only get a port localized if Japan gets the port first.

Like with Eternal Sonata's PS3 port. And Enchanted Arms PS3 rendition. Both games started as Japanese ports, but eventually came over here.

In this game's case; OG/OGG would release on U.S PS2 if it were to get localized

[Rurik]

Ah, but you're mistaken, Front Mission is a fine example, it was originally a Super Famicom game in Japan, and was later remade for the WonderSwan Colour, and again for the PSX, none of them ever made it to the states however. BUT Square finally released a DS port in the US in 2007. I'm not suggesting it's likely it will be ported to the DS, or even likely it will ever make it to the US, I'm simply suggesting the possibility. I for one would be quite content with a DS port if they never bring the PS2 game stateside, my main interest is the added storyline more than improved graphics and sound.

Actually, now that I think about it more, I would greatly prefer a DS port, they could then also include the ability to use the original GBA versions.

[Crimson Cloud]

Actually, now that I think about it more, I would greatly prefer a DS port, they could then also include the ability to use the original GBA versions.

I on the other hand would not prefer to be that way. I don't like NDS that much in the first place but I had to get it because of certain games (no disrespect to fans, it's just my own opinion), and ps2 console is the best so far and I want this game which was originally made for it to be for it. Period.

[Rurik]

I don't care if they want to make it an Atari 2600 cart, as long as I get the storyline I'm happy.

[rpgram]

I love my Original Frontier, but it does make me want OG's too...I'm so torn!

[Zeta_Nova]

lol rpgram, think we're all torn of wanting to try the OG & OGG in it's english translated form.

Heck, at this point. I don't care if it's only just japanese actors screaming the translated text. I just want to get right down and play it ^^;.

[Rurik]

I could live with just translated text, that's all we got with the original OG games anyway, and it would make all the otaku brats who insist on absolutely everything being left in Japanese, even though the majority of them don't speak Japanese anyway, happy. Nevermind the fact that there are plenty of darned good American voice actors, Steve Blum comes immediately to mind, I've never seen anything with his name attached that was done poorly.

I also this hard to find but epic pic of Zweizergain just for you. http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5830/4q1g.jpg

As far as the full pics of the characters and mecha then there is one source I can think of is the OG perfect file. It is the definitive source for both OG games; there is one for both OG and OGG. The links below has samples of the character and mecha details, from the facial expressions and different cloths to the different weapons and mech details. This could be perfect for an art book similar to Persona 4's Visual Data, but I am not sure how rare the books are or if Atlus would be able to translate it. (the one you posited would work too thought I don’t know the source of you’re pic)

That my be true; HOWEVER….! I have a video that have voiced dialog out side battle. It is in when use quicksave and leave you’re game. You get some funny voiced dialogue of the OG cast. Now this may be all there is but I also have a video here, at the end of major Kai epic there is voiced dialog too. (but It may be just more of the same) As I stated in my dub thread, I am seeing if it should be fully voiced even though it is true that a SRW game really have any voiced other than in combat. It could be like Disgaea, where the majority of the text is voiced and some of it isn’t.

Funny you should say that, the dub thread I have has Steve Blum being the voice of none other than Kyosuke Nanbu. And here is another good one, for his partner (and love interest) Excellen Browning will be voiced by Wendee Lee. That’s just some of the suggestions of talented VA’s I had on my thread. I think that Blum would be perfect despite herring time and time again that both him and Crispin Freeman (who I want to voice Elzam/Ratsel) an on a union and will be difficult to use. I can live with just a translation to but if I know Atlus they will attempt to give this game English voices.

So that’s it for now, like I said you support in buying OG: saga may help get this game to be localized. I’ll keep palying my copy and hope that with all who view this thread buy the game and before the years over will see this finally come over here. (And one game the I suggested that many have lost hope for) Later.

[Rurik]

Well I bought my copy of Endless Frontier, and I picked up both of the GBA OG titles at K Mart, they were $5 each, shoved off into the bargain aisle with nothing but lousy movie games like Open Season, and Dora the Explorer games for company. I just couldn't stand to see the poor little things sitting there, cold and lonely, so I gave them a nice new home with me. :D

[Zeta_Nova]

Yeah, OG: Endless Frontier is cool. But what would be even cooler is that full anime scenes when the meches commence their attacks in OG and OGG.

[Crimson Cloud]

I showed the few battle animations of SRW OG/OG Gaiden to my pals today and they were absolutely stunned when I showed them. I offered them the GBA version and they refused after seeing that game in all it's glory. They agreed in getting the game, if it gets translated. :D

Man, wanting to play next gen games (FFXIII example) would be zero comparing my joy for these series.

Thanks for the pics, they are pretty cool. As for my own, I don't know, did some google search and found it just like that...

[Forever Zero]

Just throwing in my desire for more OG to come here to the US.

Honestly it blows my mind why it hasn't happened yet. Atlus knows people want it, just look at this thread, it's bigger than like any other here in the suggestions.

I mean, it's cool they brought Endless Frontier over, but it seems more like a tease. It's frustrating.

[Rurik]

It's all about the licensing, in Japan it's easier to get permission to use the mecha from different anime, like Voltron, Gundam, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. But in the US, those mecha have been split up amongst a bunch of different companies, and they don't have the sense to understand these games would be like free advertisement for them. Getting permission to use all those different mecha would be a nightmare, and cost a small fortune, actually it would probably cost a very LARGE fortune come to think of it.

Um, I know that's why they don't bring normal SRW games here.

Not OG games though.

I'm not sure why you brought it up?

[Rurik]

Because it's directly related, the games don't have much of a following stateside because only two games, until now, have made it, and those were the first two OG games, and unfortunately, they didn't go over all that well in terms of sales. The series has a cult following, but it's hard to compete with more well known and established franchises, people go to the store, and they see Super Robot Taisen, and then several feet away they see Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, they're probably going to go with Gundam being the one they've heard of.

I mean, really most of the games Atlus publishes don't have much of a following stateside. They're all pretty niche/cult titles. I would be interested in seeing the sales numbers though. It's not like they put out a lot of units, even of their bigger titles like Persona 4, which apparently GameStop has already stopped receiving. Usually the amount they put out sells though.

And from my years of experience working at a game store, I really doubt that would happen between a SRW game and a Gundam game. For one, even if Gundam is more well known, it's still pretty niche game-wise. They aren't very popular. Also, your examples are totally different genres. And for the people that would be considering getting Gundam, I bet a good portion of them are aware of what SRW is. I bet DW:Gundam is selling more because it's Dynasty Warriors name than Gundam.

Has Atlus ever weighed into it either way? It seemed like the OG games sold well for what little was sent out.
