What the future holds. . . for Gundam Musou; predictions & likely scenarios

So, gentlemen of this fine forum I would like to hear and discuss what we can expect to see in future installments of this series.

This discussion can include anything from:
-suit buffs
-combo changes
-suit nerfs
-general gameplay tweaks
-story telling
-design trends

Just pretty much anything pertaining to a new title.

I'll start with a few of my own thoughts. First, I do not think this was meant as a full sequel, so I expect Gundam Musou 4 to release sometime in the near future. Second, I don't believe we will be getting an "XL" or "Empires" version of this game, since it wasn't really treated as full title to be built on. Also, I expect to see more additions outside of SEED/Destiny since it was SGM's focus. It would be nice to see the ability to diverge the story in official mode or, simply, "what-if" scenarios in this series. A return to unique invovlement with character factions similar to the original title. These just name a few of the things I feel are either likely to happen or wishful thinking. (the wishful thinking here is pretty obvious)

I will discuss more as (hopefully) this topic gets responses but they're more ideas than what I see as probable happenings.

Omega Force for the next game hopefully, not this only Koei Tecmo bull. And don't signify it as a compilation release and just name it 4.

Oh~! And make the PS3 version not lag. -_-

does the series being discontinued counts as a possible future for the topic?

What I expect - next game been 00 and Unicorn focused, finishing Unicorn's official mode and adding in a one for 00. then some minor adds like Savior, BaCUE to complete Seed's

What I can hope for - A SRW style story

Assuming we get another game, pretty much what Zeik already said. We'll likely see a 00 Official mode now that they've bothered to do the movie Gundams on top of the season 2 Gundams. I suspect CE will get its Andrew arc for official mode along with Saviour. Unicorn's Official mode should be done by the next game with Unicorn ending in a few months time.

Other than that, we may get a ZZ official mode assuming that the reason we didn't get one in this game was due to the death of Puru's VA. Maybe they'll have a replacement by next game, although given what it took to get a new VA for Bright, it seems up in the air.

It would be nice to finally get some adds to the other AU series that are just sitting there. G Gundam, Gundam X, Turn A, Wing, etc. could all use another add or two. If they do intend to do a full fledged 00 Official mode though, then we can only really expect a repeat of Shin in that department.

Hopefully we'll get a Ultimate Mode/Original mode that has the same quality of story and setup than DWG 1's Original Mode did.

What I want to see though? I want them to take a game to seriously balance out the roster for other series before doing more official modes. Patch up CE and Unicorn's Official modes, bring back ZZ's official mode, and give us a few adds to all the series that have been needing adds for the last few games. Then of course add a series or two to the roster. Gundam AGE, Build Fighters, 8th MS Team, or Stargazer are all examples of series they could add. They could even still add a few more 00 adds if they wanted to for further preparation for a 00 Official mode.

Other than that, I want a Original Mode that's a better combination of DWG 1's and 2's. Basically I want to see stories that focus on a small number of pilots that aren't directly connected to one another. Basically give us a prologue similar to DWG 1's to give us context and then send us on are way to try out all the unique stories.

Other than that, I can't really say much else until i've actually played DWG Shin and I have a better idea on what I like and don't like about gameplay.

If there are even gonna do a new one.

I personally hope that the main mode is like the first game's original mode.
I loved all the unique interactions there especially the Puru, Domon and Zechs team.

I was never really bothered by the official modes as I kinda already know what to expect plot wise from them. I also felt they kinda dropped the ball a bit with 3's original story, mostly because it was so confusing I had no clue what was going on.

But what I would love in a next game is if the original mode is set in the Build Fighters world and all the series characters are there somehow and take part in the Build Fighters tournaments.

Same expectations and wishes, although I hope for Wing to be complete and a Pilot Creation Mode.

Im a big 00 fan, would love first season exposure but i suppose its hard for them to make a real comprehensive story out of it to translate into battles in game if honest - so much of it was showing the seven gundams being more or less untouchable against anyone and everything (outside their own inner squabbles of course) till the whole planet combined in an alliance to fight against the Meisters whilst Ali single handedly owned the Trinity.

Yes even the series being discontinued can be discussed since I really started this to hear everyone's speculation and expectations.

I can certainly agree with what Wesker would like to see since overall he pretty much just did a better job explaining more or less what I probably failed to explain.

Although with specific suits like the Altron, Virsago, and Dragon I would like to see how they would be handled, more so since all three have extendable limbs.

For future installment, I hope that they take out the Official Mode from the game and just focus on Original/Ultimate Mode. Maybe most of the fans will not agree with me but I prefer original story over official story. It getting tedious playing the same storyline over and over again in Musou games and other Gundam games.

If they just focus on Original Mode, they can produce better storyline and cutscene.

@Ryo: in fact, I agree with you unless they do an Official Mode for AUs only.

@ryo
I do agree that the focus should be on original mode and from what I've heard you're actually in a vocal majority on that but for me this causes a general disconnect ftom most characters since I'm not familiar with every series. The official mode should really only be there for a reference to what led this character to what we see them as in game and an opportunity to be a part of the story, however limited. I digress, if official stories are left in the game bandai should allow for divergent what-if scenarios to spice it up. That way those of us who still enjoy the story have it and those tired of the playthrough can find something to set more, interesting events in motion.

I also want to get a little insight from any gentlemen about the easiest way to handle the three suits I mentioned in my last post. Since the uniting feature of each unit is the extendable arms they each have. Although the Dragon Gundam may prove difficult since the segments seemed to spawn from nothing, while the Altron and Virsago both have segments and joints that allow for an exact physical limit to be designed around. Any thoughts?

maybe they'll mix season 1 and two together and make it more intense?
only take few episodes of each season where the fights are really going or something like that

For the next game they should include EX attacks. Each unit gets 1 extension to a charge attack, unlocked at higher pilot levels, should be a good highlight move for the unit, that costs 1/3 - 1/2 of your SP bar to use to avoid spamming (meaning you could use it 9-6 times consecutively if your meter is full) and no meter gain when you use it.

for example;

Strike Freedom's 360 dragoon sweep; the EX press will have the dragoon reform into a beam net to catch the opponents in front of it, keeping them still as SF blasts them with a powerful high output combined rifle shot.

Wing Zero's Dashing attack; the EX press makes it do a wide arc Pile Driver Shield uppercut, and spins into a conceal'd beam saber draw, swatting the caught enemies crashing to the ground, some splash on the crash radius

Destiny's Sword thrust attack: the ex press makes it equip it's boomerang short sword and performs a strong, fast, wide swinging combo, ending with a strong X-Slash.

Assuming the next game happens;

What they should do:

-Add 00, Wing and Complete Unicorn to official mode
-Remove UC stories (enough 0079, Zeta and Chars Counterattack)
-Fix the lags and frame-rate
-Give at least one alternate costume to each pilot
-Voice mission mode and make mission mode cutscenes
-Create better map design and level structure (bigger maybe?)
-Delete useless grunt suits like zaku tanks from the playable roster
-Make the mobile suit lab simpler (like musou 3)
-Add more objectives on a map (like musou 3)
-Record new lines of dialog for pilots (same lines for 3 games so far)

What I want them to do (my hopes):
-Add AGE story or at least a few suits
-Merge SEED and DESTINY and fill the holes (give us the savior etc)
-Bring back online mode (like musou 3 just more polished)
-Add a mode for what-if scenarios
-Bring back the pilot skills to the shop
-Increase level cap to 100
-Bring back the cell shaded art style from musou 3
-Add proper dismemberment (if I cut the leg, make sure it comes off and not the head for some weird reason)

Crazy wishful thinking:

Add a guest mecha from another sunrise show -- Valvrave the Liberator anyone? :wub:

UC is staying in Official Mode, if only for Nostaglia. There's also The Origin too.

Not saying its a must, just a preference. If someone wants to play UC, they can go play the previous games. I also never watched star trek, so I assume the original is good? sorry have no clue :o

There's no way in Hell Universal Century will lose it's OM. UC is the only series that even deserves them, anything else is bonus, but nothing should ever come at the cost of a UC OM.
