@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Also, people did not like the designs in GQuuuuuX at first, I vividly remember this, but back to Rogue Orbit, when did they post character sheets? We have a announcement trailer that doesn't tell us much, the design of two mobile suits and the name of the MC

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Also no, that image WAS all you had for IBO because it was a twitter campaign+countdown before anything but the name was known, WFM did the same with it's visuals btw, AGE, SEED and Wing was all put into games early, some of them didn't even have their finalized designs yet

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor You'd think after doing the song and dance of being teased a brand new gundam story, kneejerk reaction to how said Gundam looks to people actually liking it in the end would temper expectations, especially after we just had GquuuuuX

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor I can't shame OP for thinking the new Gundam is cool so they want to try the game when that's the point of just teasing what it looks like, that's how Bandai markets Gundam to begin with

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Should people not have been excited about AGE, IBO, WFM etc teasers and early features in games when nobody knew what the plot was just the MS and what the MC looked like?

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor People having kneejerk reaction to seeing a new AU work before they know anything about is nothing new, also for a teaser trailer that doesn't tell you anything besides the premise and the bare basics of the gameplay, what are you supposed to like besides the designs?

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Also, while we're at it.
OP has a problem with people who act as Gundam purists who claim this work is Gundam in name only, but not only did Tomino tell people to do DIFFRENT things with the IP, it is quite literally normal for AUs to be out there.

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor "Don't pretend the same game with generic made-up mechs would be as well received."
More like, people can look forward to many things in a Gundam game, including completely new AU that haven't been seen before.

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Like you can actually say things without trying to paint your points as a universal opinion, because clearly there’s people in the Gundam fanbase willing to give whatever is going on with this game a chance

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor The fanbase currently yearns for a port of extreme versus, and that’s a plotless fighting game that’s just really good competitively, see how someone could just say that and it could be true?

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Nevermind the fact that we’ve also had Gundam entries that aren’t even about political drama!

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor We literally have zero idea what the game is about
Infact, AGE literally had a similar premise and infact did just turn into political space drama between two factions because the aliens wasn’t actually ‘alien’

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor And those people are stupid for judging a Gundam work before it’s even out it’s the same shit they always do then they end up liking it

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor You can not like it, but the same reason why this game based AU exist is literally the same reason why all the AUs got made, to generate new fans by doing something that wouldn’t have been done in UC

[SeniorMaj @Reuani]

@Dikkussu @TheGumGun @OrehCursor Your point doesn’t really make sense
They call all these very clearly different Gundam AUs Gundam so new fans can be attracted to the overall IP
