Do we have any idea on the development of the show? I wonder if the plan was always to have Jesus come back as the protag or was it due to negative reaction to Shin? I think that there was at least an alt. ending where Shin and Jesus teamed up in the end?
White Gundams are for protagonists, grey Gundams are for antagonists (see Gato and GP-02). Was the design and coloring of Destiny Gundam already completed at the start of the series? Who knows.

By Berserker Kids you mean the ones who stole the Gundam at the start of the show? I remember that the girl tragically died to Jesus, their leader who was piloting a Destroy Gundam at the time jobbed to Shin's newly made Destiny Gundam, but I'm not sure who beat the one who had Abyss(? the aquatic one) Gundam. Probably Athrun.
Sounds like it was a team effort. Did Kira even interact with Shinn in person? I always remember Athrun dealing with him.

Shinn is very good against scrubs and people running away. His record when good pilots turn around and fight him...not so hot.

Looking it up Destiny is mostly colored white, though are indeed a few cases where it sports (a lighter) gray, including the anime itself XD

Not that I can recall, no. Kira mostly did hit and run attacks for Orb that ruined Shin's day.

Destiny was heavily rewritten after Morosawa got sick, and her drafted SEED sequel movie was never made as a result either.

I'm not even sure if EXVS Force dipped that low. I may just pick it up for shits and giggles.

None for me yet, but I'm planning to get back on Zeta today... partially because I'm almost caught up on dubbed one piece

Had to toss some gunpla yesterday... No room for them when moving this time. Mostly tossed my early works before I really understood lining and top coats but still hurt.

Kept all the ones that were gifts or that I put a ton of effort into...

Also kept my hyakushiki and altron boxes to build while crashing at a friends

Always meant to ask, people love the main villains in Gundam but what are people favorite side villains?

Iok from IBO is my favorite just because he's so goddamn hateable.

Does Delaz count as a side villain? Plenty of side villains to love: Ramba Ral, Norris Packard, Aiguille Delaz, Steiner Hardy, Chara Soon, Yonem Kirks, Marida Cruz, Suberoa Zinnerman (I'm not even sure the last two even count as "villains" more like they start as antagonists but that's Gundam for you).

Oh, wow. That is really funny!

I caught on to the joke that he never would be killed before getting through the series. It became funny (the point).

Mr. Bushido became strangely compelling, though I don't know why. "Young man!"

It has been a really long time since I watched Wing, I sort of remembered her switching allegiances at some point, but either way.
She switches sides pretty quickly in my opinion since she does it before they escape from the moon base I believe and she wasn't even antagonistic when Heero fought Zechs in the Heavy Arms. Noin is cool, Lady Une is a different story, she's cray cray side villain tier.

In a pretty good mood, just about done with the one piece dub so time to go back to working on Gundam! Back to Zeta. Need to keep moving forward for more kit material, got the last of my og show kits (for now)on their way(Guntank, and a replacement for my destroyed Zeong ). Then I have Gundam mk 2(titans) and Rick-Dias(Quattro's).

So time to move forward, I'm moving in the next month so I have time to get through a good chunk of zeta(at the least).

Say, never thouht to ask, any decent Gundam games that got localized on 3ds/ds or ps3(or heck gamecube).... or dreamcast(though I'm sure they'd be expensive)

Localized? That limits the options:

3ds/ds - Nope
Gamecube - Nope
PS3 - The Musou games.
Dreamcast - Rise from the Ashes

Imports? Oh yeah.
Gamecube - The Ace Pilot
PS3 (REGION FREE) - Unicorn, Battlefield Record UC 0081, Side Stories

You should at the very least import Gundam Unicorn for the PS3. It's cheap, made by FROM Software and fucking awesome.

Well localized isnt an issue for me on saturn(I have an action replay so it's region free for me, and isn't the Dreamcast region free?)

There are two Zeta Gundam 2D side scrolling games on the Saturn, and the Blue Destiny trilogy is fantastic.

The Dreamcast is not region free, but it's pretty easy to get a boot disc to circumvent that. The very first Gundam Versus title was originally made for the DC.

If you had to recommend one Gundam game what would it be?

Gundam Unicorn - Developed by the same team at FROM who did the Another Century's Episode games. All space based combat/gameplay.

One Year War on the PS2 is great, too. Developed by Namco's Ace Combat team.

Has anyone played Battle Operation 2? Looks like it's out in JP. Never played the first.

The first game had some pretty terrible F2P mechanics (it had a fuel system you had to wait to recharge) although I think that might have
been axed in later updates? I only played it for a month or so before I got a bit tired of the jank.

My brother says the new one is pretty good. Still gotta pray to the gacha gods for anything good, but he seems to be enjoying it.

I installed it last night and played 2 matches. Seems okay so far. MS-09 Dom is one of my favorite suits, and
it usually plays really well in these more grounded sim-type games, so I will probably get some enjoyment out of it once I unlock that suit.

Thanks for the info! How hard is it to play without understanding Japanese?

In the tutorial you have do some stuff in the HARO menu that might be a little tough to figure out but nothing game breaking. Once you're done with that, though, the game should be fine.

I played a couple ground-based missions last night, felt a lot like the the original. Will need to play some of the space combat today.

Battlefield Record UC 0081 is a pretty good game. I recommend that along with Unicorn.

If you're open to it as well, I also recommend Macross 30 The Voice that Connects the Galaxy as well. Very fun. And there is a complete English Guide out there
