Was recommended to play this by a few people but I think I did it wrong even after watching a tut which is why I made this post

EDIT: SOLVED, Tysm to everyone who gave me tips!

I honestly believes so

Hello There, Gundam & Mecha Enjoyers

Since Super Robot Wars Y expansion has released, which Gundam Series, you like to see in Super Robot Wars?

My Newcomers Pick : Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise, Gaia Gear, Gundam Eight, Build Fighter Duology & Thunderbolt

My Returning Pick : 08th MS Team, Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, Gundam Reconguista in G & Iron-Blooded Orphans

Ive recently been interested in this series and i was just wonder where would be a good game to start on. I was considering buying SRWY but i realised it was annoyingly PS5 only, so if anyone has any recommedations i would appreciate it.

Edit: I forgot to mention i play on PS4

Looking for some retro portable SRW experience

I know only GBA OG games were officially translated

But I can try fan translation if it was good enough

So which one to try, out of these

Let's talk about Master!

So for those not in the know, it makes enemies really strong. How strong? By the endgame, my 20-bars-in-everything Gundams (and Char) were still seeing 40-50%s from enemies AFTER I've used Disrupt. You also can't use Spirit Commands on the enemy turn, making defense that much harder.

Early game is well-balanced enough to not be that big of a hump. Compared to VTX30 where the hardest difficulty makes debuting units absolutely unusable, Y at least holds itself back from the stupidly strong enemies until you've got a chance to get all your upgrades in. Good!

Mid game is rough. With the reduced EXP gain from higher difficulties, enemy HP is, for a good while, going to massively outpace your ability to deal damage. That's where our lovely Assists come in...

Seiji is worth the price of DLC 2 on his own. Generic access to Bravery is really good, but it's ESPECIALLY really good when most of your guys are still 20 levels away from getting their damage steroids.

You see I used Teoria a lot. Most of my battles in Chapters 6 and 7 started with me just using her 3 times to add +30 Will to all my guys and then just beelining the boss and killing them. More on that in a bit.

Despite her not cracking the top 5 in terms of how many times I clicked her, Dorothy is probably the last of the top 3 Assists in my view. When you can't pop Spirits during enemy phase, being able to put Wall on someone for only 2 on the fly is absolutely invaluable. It doesn't come up all the time, but when it does, you'll NEED it to save someone's life.

Late game was MOSTLY very easy. As mentioned, any stage which had a victory condition other than 'destroy ALL the enemies' is very easily doable in a single turn. You just abuse Press and Zeal to blitz your guys over to the objectives (and remember, Chise is generic Press access!) while having a good couple of Unity users; by the late game, a LOT of people have Unity. (And I happened to pick up Olibee, so that's one more...)

Late game was so easy, in fact, that I was worried the final stage would be very anticlimactic after nearly 100 hours of game.

Oh, how naive I was.

The Evolvers must've seen my predominant strategy, because the first phase of the final stage on B route puts you up against 70--yeah, SEVENTY--of THESE things. Even with fully upgraded units and your best damage steroids, they're gonna take a good few hits. They can dodge, they can hit, they can hit HARD, and holy shit they just won't go down and there's so many of them.

By the time the final boss actually graced me with their presence, my team was critically low on SP. It was exceedingly rough, but not in a way that felt unfair? Brutal, but it was doable. I felt like I really had to dig to the bottom of the SP, the Assists, the EN, the ammo, all the way down.

I've never been so glad to hear a Jam Project song kick in in my entire life.

There's a few things that probably disqualify this from being called 'the best SRW game', like the absolute waste of G-Witch essentially not being used in any way that matters or various problems with the DLC...

...but for the most part I'm still confident calling it the best written, as far as the launch story goes. Cross/Forte and Echika are miles above the typical fare, and it's a rare Banpresto Original that feels like it has a fully complete story arc with a beginning, middle and end rather than them just kinda tagging along as the haha funny OC of the group. The Ardyguns in W have it, and an argument could be made for Touya/Calvina in J, but it has been a hot minute since we'd had original protagonists this good.

Not to say I dislike all of the VTX30 protags; I actually love all of VTX's heroes as characters! But they are certainly missing some pieces from their arcs to qualify as that.

The crossover elements are also insane at points. SRW is doing a great job when you start having trouble telling what plot beats are from what show, and I ran into that a good few times in this one. Also surprised it took us this long to have original badguys who team up with most of the canon bad guys! It was great.

If they can keep up this level of NARRATIVE quality going forward, I'm a happy guy. We gotta work on that DLC quality, though. The stories were mostly fine, but the units leave a lot to be desired at points. There's not really any excuse for Double not to have CycloneJokerXtreme, and you should've seen the face I made when I found out that Eureka's upgraded unit has only two attacks.

Anyway, I'm overall really happy with the high difficulty options this time around! Compared to VTX30's high difficulties being 'debut stages are awful and near-impossible, and then once you get upgrades you still steamroll', I felt like I was at least putting in conscious efforts to cheese stages in this one, rather than it being handed to me just because my guys were upgraded.

That's all, I think. Take it easy!

Since the arrival of 30 & Y.

The Linear Format hadn't been used since T. It'​'s good for them to continue the​

Hadn't play Y or Operation Extend yet. But so far, I play from 30. I loved it. I'm on the halfway point. I wonder​, will these Open-world SRW games have replayable value than the Linear Format.

i want to read fanfiction of this series. anyone know any good ones?

Is it only ryuseis stats and skills that matter? Do you just turn rai and Aya into sp batteries?

Kanato Shijo awoke as an Evolver due to Echikia's awakening, what if Tetsuro Yagami also awoke as a Superhuman due to him being in such close proximity to the Willforce for his research and the one who died was a copy or worse he awoke following his death and revived and went into hiding?

I know it sounds silly but a random plumber awoke and became Usurper so it might be possible.
