Ahh G-Saviour. I always remember it sorta as a fever dream during the entire run time. Admittedly during a rewatch it wasn't really what I'd call horrible, just plain and forgettable. It was so far divorced from UC that it might as well have been in a standalone universe. Atleast it was a short ride and didn't waste my time with its mediocrity unlike with Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed (I regret those 100 episodes of Seed and Seed Destiny). Also with the mobile suit designs, all of them are designed by Kunio Okawara, which was also the main designer of every series thus far including Gundam Wing, X, and Seed. Okawara is rather iterative when it comes to designing suits, which was why the game had mechs resembling ZAFT and SRA units since those two shows came before and after this one. The mechs in the movie were also designed by Okawara, they just weren't translated well to CG. Check out the lineart.

Based on what i saw in this video: i really like the mobile suit designs. Late UC is such a hard thing to come across in the US, and even though its not a really good story based on what i can tell, its certainly still fun! Thanks for sharing!

21:50 From what I remember, the amount of HP you have really doesn't affect the fight. Raven's attacks do something like 75-100% per hit. One of the few times he landed a hit that didn't just kill me, I remember getting to the boss fight with 85%-ish health. I managed to sidestep one of his ramming charges and still getting grazed by it, leaving me with about 10% health. You get like 1-2 hits with this guy tops.

imo the voice acting reminds me of old PSX armored core voice acting, which I've come to love over time. They sound like Japanese VA's that recorded their lines in English, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case (as that's what PSX AC did). This was also probably* before having a team dedicated to localizing dialogue became a thing.

Saying no one is trying to dig it up is a bit rough there is a huge chunk of the community that would love nothing more than to see it brought back and redone right. Generally to consensus is that it was done dirty, the film is arguable trash but also pretty on par for films like this for the time, the novels are good the game was fun and the Mecha design is actually great with some of the ideas penned for this game and show going on to be common place in new Gundam media going forward. As the years move on it's gone from shunned to the underdog and Bandai should give it another shot!

I would not be mad if Sunrise embraced G-Saviour and eventually did an animated remake OVA. The G-Saviour Gundam would definitely need a serious power upgrade, though. That far along in the UC timeline and the thing is as powerful as the Gundams from the OYW. What little it has is not nearly exciting enough for a Gundam by today's standards.
@Mobilesuitk93 күн бұрын
I don't necessarily think it would need a power upgrade. Technological progress does not always go down a straight line. It could be that as the old scientists and engineers pass away that a lot of our knowledge and experience in building mobile suits gets lost. If done right this could be an interesting part of the story. It could also help to keep a lot of the combat grounded compared to having suits that are near super robot territory IMO.

@@Mobilesuitk9 Actually all the material we have hint for a technological regress. Crossbone Dust portrays an era of colonial infigthing and ms made with anything they can find, very crude designs that range wildly in power, some are literally worse than the OYW ms. By the time of Gaia Gear we also see a very decadent Federation Government that can barely scrounge some good models of man machines. And before someone says about canon, I don't care, most of these late UC stories are the only material of its timeframes and there's no other work that invalidates it or replaces it, so is canon until Sunrise actually puts work to demonstrate why is not.

Imagine a game like this in HD with even more mobile suits and the ability to play either side of a mission. That's literally all Bandai has to do to make a successful Gundam game that isn't a hack'n'slash grindfest (like the Breaker games) or a grid-based tactical RPG. They had a gem like this and just failed to release it in the west. I can only conclude Bandai's gaming division is helmed by morons.

Back in 2012, that was the first time I watched "G-Saviour" on KZbin. Personally, I liked it even if it's either canon, semi-canonical or non-canonical to the Late Universal Century timeline. Plus I kind of like the Late U.C. Gundam stories even more than the One Year War timeline, I mean Zeon's pretty much overused even if they're still popular.

I got the game when it came out, and really liked it. I'm a mech fan, and this was one of the better offerings out at the time. The voice acting was and still is pretty impressive, considering it's the full dub cast. I know the controls are wonky, but I'll argue they are wonky and not straight up bad. Why? Because like you said, at some point, you get good at the controls. It takes a while, but there will be a point where you get used to the wonkness and handle the gundam expertly. To me, bad controls NEVER feel good, they're just trash. The controls DEFINITELY could have been better, I won't argue that, but the point of mastery is fairly enjoyable. At least it adds some game time to an otherwise short game, lol

The Byarlant was never added as playable to the game as they ran out of time. 8:24 - Someone watched my videos to quote my what-if scenario directly? :3 10:55 - One exception. For Progress Mode, in order to reach the secret final level, you only get one shot at it. I don't remember the requirement, but the stage ends with you fighting 50 Gundam F90's. 14:06 - While I am very pro-EF, I gotta say: Who wants their soul held down by gravity?! D: 21:22 - A guide I still reference today when I make a Progress-Pilot :salute: 25:20 - You reached the score required to reach the final-final secret stage which leads into Crossbone Gundam. Before that was just F91.
