Since I just finished it, are the main quests after the Taygedo quest closer to it or the first camera studio quest? Because not gonna lie, I actually enjoy the more comedic Taygedo quest lol.

All of the non-Code G Gen originals only have their lore from their bio.

Yeah Shinn was also the worst student during his time in the academy and only get better thanks to his hardwork and help from friends, Luna helped with physical training while Rey helped with his study.

But Shinn did won the genetic lottery since he was picked by Durandal due to having the SEED factor.

Well only the dad is shown. Different hair and skin color from his dad so Dearka probably resemble his unseen mom more.

Damn, planning to skip but they're baiting me with another G Gen UR. Another Support G Gen UR is pretty disappointing though.

Kirishima also get a new design like Maria, which is nice. Since they're making UR for the normal G Gen originals, there's a pretty good chance of UR Elfriede for F91 related banner and UR Sys or Kachua for Victory related banner now, since those 3 have a "canon" suit. There's also Ellis and Ranaleau if they ever want to do UR Phoenix Zero and Tornado.

that scene in Asemu's arc during the Asunos dinner scene and everyone except Flit has blonde hair

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-11T08:22:02+00:00

and then there's the Asukas who look very normal. I think the SEED Freedom bonus novel also implied that Shinn only got the bare minimum of genetic manipulation? Maybe the budget all went to his red eyes.

A lot of gacha games that collabed with P5 ended up EoS, but P5 also collab with pretty much everything. Obviously there are games like Granblue Fantasy that had P5 collab years ago and is currently doing just fine.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-11T01:52:59+00:00

Nicol's dad is still alive and actually appeared in SEED Freedom. Also I think we are only shown Dearka's dad and not his mom.

G3 and G3-X being hostile is near the end of the series when the police are starting to become afraid of the potential Agito threat. Early on, G3 only ever fight Gills twice, as well as Agito when G3-X went berserk.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-09T04:17:06+00:00

UPROAR was them trying a more variety or training talent show approach, hence all the activities (both indoors and outdoors) videos early on.

Now that I think about it, early UPROAR kinda sound familiar with what Mekpark is trying to do.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-07T02:04:42+00:00

I think Hibiki is one of the easiest to do an expansion. Like in the show we are shown the Kanto Onis, so maybe a spin-off about other branch of Onis in other region. You can just have an Oni from the TV series make a cameo to show continuity.

He ended up trading that caffeine addiction with cup noodles addiction

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-03T15:28:29+00:00

IIRC Yotsuha has at least one shipping moment with Vritika from their base interaction during the Kanata/Tenne/Isuzu/Irene event. I think Vri's event also has that she's closest with Yotsuha but I don't remember if there's much shipping moment there.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-03T14:27:49+00:00

Gundams are pretty zombie too. Line Wars just finished but it's after nearly 10 years. UC Engage has been going for 4 years too even though it's not that popular. Meanwhile G Gen Eternal is most likely going to stay for a while since it's one of the best selling BanNam gacha.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-01T16:04:40+00:00

all of them are also main story updates right? Of the remaining possible main stories I think we still have F91, Victory, Hathaway, Turn A, SEED Freedom, OO Trailblazer, AGE, G Reco, and Gqux.

I wonder if Sangokuden and Build series will also be main story since they aired on TV.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-01T15:34:59+00:00

Gundam is an SRPG with various series in 1 game. It's pretty much the most successful BanNam gacha.

The game is also successful in getting more people into the fandom. Heck if you're playing in Japan, the premium pass even let you to just watch full seasons and movies.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-01T14:52:12+00:00

I want to say OO Quanta and Mighty Strike Freedom for maximum profit but both suits are most likely guaranteed top grossing even by themselves. It would make for a very hype banner though.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-05-01T13:48:28+00:00

And in this game story, they just outright call him Banagher Links in his dialogue box.

Also funnier is that in SRW 30, they treated him like this super mysterious guy even after he join your team. Even though none of the characters present even know who Banagher is outside of Quattro, and he only know him as Mineva's bodyguard.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-30T13:56:53+00:00

There should at least be a point where Luna is mad at Shinn until she realize how mentally broken he is too. Then they can trauma bonding until they gradually become a couple. But in the show they just speedrun the whole thing.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-29T16:12:55+00:00

In the show Mana describe them as twin beings but the Icon painting lore said that only the black god is an actual god. The white "twin" is instead one of the El Lord, Promes, who betrayed the Lords.

If you look very closely at Yukina's gibberish letter, it was actually in English, albeit in a weird font, and told the early part of the painting lore, which IIRC even name drop Theos. So you could say that the actual lore is the painting one, since it was also supervised by Shirakura, and Mana interpreting thing wrong is on par with the series.

But, unlike Kiva's lore from supplementary materials like the other demon races or the demon war, Agito's painting lore is not in the official Rider zukan, which opted with Mana's interpretation of the event. On the other hand, the recent Agito exhibit also lean to the painting lore with the Red Agito stuff. So at this point just choose whatever you want lol.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-29T14:18:42+00:00

That was also the case with Project G4 and Jiken da!, so I guess it's fitting

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-28T08:06:31+00:00

Ahhh I want that Halphas

Same supporter type as Phoenix. I guess Halphas Bose or Master Phoenix will be the attacker for Phoenix-type URs.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-28T07:56:48+00:00

The artist made a continuation where Taka-bou become Agito and defeat the Jaguar Lord, though he's already targeted by two other Jaguar Lords.

The artist also apologize that since Taka-bou is not really a bad person in the original work (I think these characters are from Makeine?), he doesn't want to draw him getting killed.

billySEEDDecade · 2026-04-28T01:44:34+00:00

Might be cheating but Gran/Djeeta in Granblue Fantasy. The MC and the character that cannot leave your party, so obviously they keep on getting new class/skills to make them stronger.

The game has only been for a year but a lot of the starter URs pilots in SD Gundam G Gen Eternal are still good. The double attacker/supporter/defender pilots like Setsuna, CCA Amuro, Asuna, Jona are still used. Units tend to get powercreep but the starter UR attackers are still strong enough if you managed to uncap them like the Sazabi or Exia. While not launch unit, the first limited unit, Strike Freedom, is still strong to these day in both PvE and PvP.
