Gundam Assault Survive Unlock Guide ( Pilots )

Hmm... I'm not sure whether any of you are going to purchase this game and I know I've made a guide before but this time it would be more... well-structured as a whole.
Firstly , since this game is in Japanese - and since I can't READ Kanji nor Hiragana - there would be quite a lot of things left out. Such as the Development Plans. But I have a rough idea on the unlocking of pilots and stuff not listed in Gamespot.

Pilot Unlock Guide

U.C 0079 ( Mobile Suit Gundam / War in the Pocket / 08th MS Team )

( ALL PILOTS OF THIS TIMELINE CAN BE UNLOCKED BY PLAYING THE STORY MISSIONS )

===============================

Cima Garahau can be unlocked via the purchases of Gelgoog M
Other pilots ( Kou and Gato ) can be unlocked via Story Missions

===============================

U.C 0087 ( Gundam Z )

All Pilots can be unlocked by Story Missions

================================

Chara Soon ( Enchanced ) can be unlocked after using Chara for 5 times
Yazan can be unlocked after using him 5 times ( Yazan is the dude with high cheekbones in Gundam Z )

( Puru is the orange haired loli - Cello is the blue haired dude and Chara is the nutty girl with makeup *cough* )
( All other pilots can be unlocked via storyline )

==================================

U.C 0093 ( Char's Counterattack )

All Pilots can be unlocked via storyline

==================================

U.C 0123 ( Gundam F91 )

======================================

Other notes :
Some pilots are only unlocked after employing certain pilots to your side - so effectively , their unlocked when you clear the storyline since you unlock the characters whom leads to them.

======================================

Oh brilliant - more data corruption.

Seems like my destiny with saving would be a bitter one.

My God Eater save data was corrupted for unknown reasons ( I backed it up on my PC ) , my The Witcher save data was corrupted ( ... Game crashed half-way through the saving progress... ) and oh yes , my Disgaea save data is corrupted yet again.

Did I mention I've lost all my FFVII , VIII and IX save datas as well?

.... We need a new saving system!

God Eater 2

God Eater 2 is scheduled to have a released sometime during 2012 - provided that the world doesn't end by that time.
*Sarcasm*

Anyways , God Eater 2 takes place three years after the original plotline and a new pandemic incurred by "Red Rain" has struck the East Branch.
Apparently God Eater may take place with a different cast - with the members of the "Blood" , whom are the affliates of the Fernir of the first God Eater installment.

Other than that - I don't really know much about it , or rather , there aren't much news about it to be exact.

However , it is to be noted that 2012 is the schelduled release of the JAPANESE version of the game. Whether there would be a European or NA version is yet to be seen.

My JRPG

Title of JRPG :
Interwined Pacts

Story :
Fire... Fire everywhere.
The child succumbs to the cold grasp of death as he collapses to his knees.
He crawled through the burning village , his throat desperately gasping for air as he tried to defy death - sustaining the faint flicker of life in his body.
His strength slowly leaves his limbs as he crawled on , without a destination in mind , he crawled for his life.
All of a sudden , a wounded beast appeared before him - it too , is at the verge of it's life.

It opened it's mouth and not a growl was emitted from it's throat , but human words.

"Do you wish to live , human?"

The child , desperate to live , nodded faintly as he gripped the earth beneath him.
The beast lowered it's head to the child and told him to raise his hands.

What happened next was beyond him , a blinding light streaked across his eyes and the beast was gone.

Twenty years have passed and the boy , whom had became a man - now serves the Royal Family of Auxbrea of the Northern Kingdom. His talent allowed him to be knighted in a span of seven years.
The incident twenty years ago had almost became a dream... or so it should be.

PSP gaming... Just one more day and I can..

Yes... One more day... All I have to do is wait 'till it's Monday and I can actually get my PSP back.

Thus , I believe I might be inactive from this day onwards... until Saturday anyway. I'd be spending most of my meagre free time blasting away Mobile Suits on my PSP.
As you would excuse me , I have waiting to do.

Politics in Singapore certainly is boring

As compared to all the drama in the U.S and the cl@ss in Britain - not to mention all the governance issues in Japan as well as Democratic protests in various other countries - yeah , politics in my country can be pretty dull.

Whilst the act of "Pointing 'da finger" does exist here , particularly in opposing parties of the PAP , the things said tends to be pretty much the same.
"Whose at fault for the high taxes!?" "Where did the money of our people go to!?"

.... *cough*

Anyways , as for the PAP , they would go on about their promises for the people and play it out nicely. Saying that they would build this , write this , issue this and rebuild this. In the end - one can clearly see that the laws doesn't really change even if the ENVIRONMENT changes. Taxes are still sky-high ( It's funny , really , water fees in my household is only around 100 dollars , but the electrical fees is 500+? Screw that! ) , building prices are abominable , the influx of foreign workers is still of an unacceptable level and soon enough , they'd issue an interview to explain it all off.

Not to mention we have too little seasoned politicians on opposing parties. They lack the ability to sweet-talk and compose actual ; feasible plans for the future of the country. They've managed to grasp our attention when the words taxes were mentioned but I don't really think lowering our military funds to enchance quality of living is a good idea.

Essentially , most of the elections are dull and boring. The results tends to be the same. Politicians with ambitions but weak schemes and plans will never be chosen , the older citizens of Singapore would ALWAYS choose the PAP and personally , whilst the Worker's Party ( The largest and most popular opposing party - their really powerful in the past but was weakened as time went by - but their starting to get stronger again ) may have pointed out some reasonable issues in our countries - a majority of their supporters are solely youths.

Well , the next General Elections might take a twist but I'm not keeping my hopes up. The people are naive and politicians of opposing parties in this country lacks proper judgement and feasible plans for the country.
They may point out all the faults of the current governance - but it means nothing if they can only criticise and not construct the future of our country.

Controversial use of force amongst the cops?

The all too famous.... Punching scene

You can see other cases of "Physical abuse" in the related videos.

Seriously , if cops aren't allowed to use FORCE , how on Earth are they supposed to SUPPRESS and CAPTURE these lawbreakers whom uses FORCE against them?

It's like asking someone to take down a tiger with a toothpick.

Firstly , the cop wasn't using his baton nor any form of equipment he was given - his merely using his hands to suppress the target and attempt to wear her out so he could handcuff her properly.

Secondly , his simply doing his job. The woman may be simply jaywalking - but she was jaywalking in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. What is more , she resisted arrest and go with him in peace. Instead , she flailed around , resisting arrest and pummeled at the cop like a fish out of water.

Thirdly , these cops honestly needs to be promoted. Their actually doing their job seriously , they take the lives of the civillians SERIOUSLY. Considering that he had gone through so much to capture one woman whom was simply jaywalking in the middle of the road had simply told us how he took the lives of the people in his country in a very serious manner.

I swear people these days are getting dull in the mind. They are , for one , not even using their weapons. They didn't use their firearm to threaten the target to submit to arrest , nor did they use their baton to beat the living daylights out of them.

We - on the other hand , do not appreciate the efforts of these cops and treat them like vermin on the streets. How can they operate efficiently if their going to be blamed if they use too much force and capture the view of the world and use too LITTLE force and allow the target to escape? Like in this one?

I guess they'll need to pick up some martial arts at this rate - to , y'know , capture someone without actually hurting them.

Feeling... really lazy lately.

Rather than lazy , I believe sluggish would be the better word.

I don't feel like doing anything at all ( Save eating . sleeping and drinking - and yes , hygiene. Very important. ) - not even gaming can save me from this feeling.
I feel as though I'm condemned to sit in a prison cell with a book and a toothbrush with one dab of toothpaste for the rest of my life - the boredome is killing me!

I'm not even interested in games or Anime anymore - and I'm even losing interest in Visual Novels! :o

If this is what one calls "graduating from being an Otaku" - by the Lords , let me be retained.

List of Doujin fighters I've came across...

When official fighters could satisfy you no more - what do you do?
SEARCH FOR FAN MADE ONES!

Million Knights Vermillion

I have to admit - the sprites were poorly made as compared to the CGs in the game.
Still , the game was still fairly enjoyable - not exactly the best of what I came across but it's certainly not the most boring either.
I'd place it somewhere above average , with some sugar ontop.
( One of the map's theme songs seriously reminds me of BlazBlue )

Crucis Fatal Fake

A Fate/Stay Night Doujin fighter.
In some ways , this is actually better than Fate/Unlimited Codes since characters can't really be as spammy as in Unlimited Codes and there is a Master and Servant System.

Vanguard Princess

Rumored to be made by an ex-employee of Capcom - and most surprisingly - it's under the release of EnterBrain.
Either way , the quality of this is unexpectedly good and it IS fairly popular.

Hinokakera ~ Chaotic Eclipse ~

Whilst this game have impressive graphics , the music can be a headache at times and the mechanics is somewhat stiff.
Still , it's not too bad if you want something different for a change.

Ougon Musou Kyoku

A Doujin fighter based off Umineko?
I must be going blind.
Anyways, consider this Million Knights Vermillion but with smoother animations and graphics... and mechanics actually.

Big Bang Beat Revolve

A pretty decent fighter which kinda reminds me of some other works... Can't remember the names so no matter :P
The mechanics of the game can feel a bit... "cheap" at times but well , hopefully the patches will take care of the loop issues.
Oh yeah , you need to patch it to at least 1.01 or 1.02 to avoid some technical issues.

Crista Caelestis

Super...Smash...Bros - Anime flavoured? :o
The game itself was pretty neat ( Well , it does feel like Super Smash Bros... *mumbles* ) though the crappy interface and the graphics of the selection screen was horrid.
Not to mention - the camera sucks ( And I thought I had issues with Super Smash Bros )

Yatagarasu

I haven't actually tried this yet but I'm keeping track of it as of now.
*twiddles fingers*

Dragon Blast

Another Doujin which I haven't tried as of yet.
Graphics looks good but I'm doubtful about the gameplay value of this one.
