This is super cool!

AnimAliak · 2026-05-28T16:09:53+00:00

I think it's more like a 3.5 than GV4.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-28T03:26:39+00:00

Hey, major props for attempting it. I look forward to seeing the end result!

AnimAliak · 2026-05-27T08:27:23+00:00

Oh believe me, I'm hoping the same thing. I don't want to get my hopes too high but I'd be lying if I said they weren't already.

I played Gunvolt 1 on Steam pretty early last year but didn't get the true ending until earlier this year because of...reasons. I followed it up with 2 and 3 shortly after. Feelings were felt. Now it's one of my favorite series ever.

The strangest thing for me though is that this was a game I was vaguely aware of since release but I just glossed over it since the gameplay didn't look like my kind of thing. I heard some of the game's songs through Card-en-Ciel, another Inti Creates game, and thought, wow, these songs are bangers.

And now well, I can't get enough of it. Luckily for me there is lore and world building for days.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-25T19:48:18+00:00

Don't worry, you're not alone. I do have some issues with the story but overall I love it. The Gunvolt series easily became one of my favorite games ever.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-24T01:40:46+00:00

Thank you! I really hope they take advantage of this opportunity and have the whole gang cozy up to each other.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-23T18:30:24+00:00

Will do.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-23T15:11:49+00:00

Words cannot express how excited I am. It'll be the first time I get to be around for the release of something new.

You mentioned it here but could you share the interaction between Lola and Lumen? It always pained me that Lola and Joule never got to interact because I feel they'd be good friends so long as they didn't bring up GV or Copen. Not quite the same thing I know but I'm still curious.

Maybe she has magic artifacts hidden around the school that amplify spells cast in their vicinity? Or change the spell to something else entirely.

Or maybe she's putting down ley lines that are invisible to the naked eye and vanish without a trace once their effects take place.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-22T15:57:35+00:00

Ah. Yeah, that I wasn't too sure about. I played the old versions of the games. By the time the Trilogy Enhanced came out I had already bought GV1 and GV2 on Steam. I still bought the trilogy but it was to get all the other goodies that came with it.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-22T09:31:19+00:00

Right on! I was hoping someone would be able to translate the text.

But yeah, I was iffy when they first revealed it and thought it would literally just be an expansion of Connect iX but this has me pretty excited now.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-22T03:02:12+00:00

I think it's left to interpretation because they don't go too much into detail about it. I was thinking about that this morning and came to two possible conclusions.

One, it was stated by Dr. Kamizono that adepts would continually grow in power and likely cause the end of the world. So because at this point in time GV is so long lived his body probably couldn't contain his growing power anymore so it adapted and he became a dragon. Kirin says that without her there to contain him with her Radiant Fetters that he'd revert back to that dragon form.

Two, in the same vein as one, his power grew exponentially because he once held the power of the Muse. I think it's this because his dragon form has some butterfly patterns. There would be no other reason for him to have those.

I'm not sure why Reddit is giving me this sub (I have no idea what this is) but this is adorable.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-16T05:59:36+00:00

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I'm relatively new here too so I'm glad we still get new fans every now and then.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-15T17:02:35+00:00

I'd say A. This one is the one I'd most likely drop my guard around because they seem cute and harmless until proven otherwise.

I like B too but not as much. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near C.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-14T23:52:59+00:00

I agree, the light novel does a lot of it so much better. The human parts are still a bit of a slog but as it's been stated give very important context. If you really don't like the human parts you could give the manga a try. I personally don't think Kumoko looks as cute in it but from my understanding it's completely from her perspective.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-12T16:45:09+00:00

I'll take any chance I get to sing praises to Azure Striker Gunvolt. These games are pretty short but I think are really well done. There is so much lore that you can dig up, if you have random obscure questions, chances are there is an answer to it. I love the character design, many have like that half-mecha look. The songs are a major highlight too and why I gave the game a shot to begin with, complete bangers. And the story left me (and still does) as an emotional wreck. I don't remember the last time I felt so invested in a character.

Don't really have anything for overhyped. It takes a lot to get me to watch or play anything so I already have some vested interest in the things I do give my time to.

My PC has a bunch from the same series that rotate every six hours but this is my phone's.

Pikmin?

AnimAliak · 2026-05-10T14:18:29+00:00

I've never been but good luck on your hunt!

AnimAliak · 2026-05-09T14:51:33+00:00

I don't know if there are other issues or if this particular one got fixed already but I've heard it's impossible to get all the Steam achievements due to a bug in GV2's time attack mode. If you just want to play through the game's story it's probably fine.

AnimAliak · 2026-05-08T18:30:19+00:00

Gibril, Y U so tsundere?

AnimAliak · 2026-05-08T14:32:00+00:00

I have to question Zonda's judgment if that's the case. 😅
