She needed to stopped. Yeah, GV does seem regretful despite his self-denials when confronted by the Tenjian ghost in GV3, but it's not because he came around to her ideals, it's because he killed a little girl. He definitely still disagrees with Eden's methods, even if he sympathizes with their desire for safety in retrospect. It's a bit of a retcon, but I like it. It makes Gunvolt more sympathetic. It, and harming Quinn, fucked him up so much that he stopped using his powers lethally afterward, making Zonda the final person he killed.

Last thread was the first time I actually saw people digging into GV3's script. Before that, it was just people bitching about how it wasn't continuing the story from GV2, or bitching about Kirin, or bitching about Gunvolt getting shit on. Turns out it's just a reset button because the staff wanted their OCs from the first two games backbecause these characters deserve more than a few lines in a single stage, and Gunvolt feeling down was for legitimate PTSD reasons. Can you imagine some of the GV1 and GV2 antagonists being allowed to interact with each other and play a role in the plot like the GV3 characters? Wouldn't that be cool?

Moebius showed him that the only way to save the world is to either off himself or make friends.
Predicting that if there's a next game, apart from having to stop Nova and Zonda without murder, he's going to have somebody elseXiaotrying to murder him to save humanity. Tsuda really likes well-intentioned anti-villains.

New timeline, new possibilities. Gibril and Elise were interested in him. Even he realized it. They were enemies though, so he did what Asimov trained him to do. Joule almost got her love confession out to him in GV1. She might on this go around, which would cause GV to recontextualize a lot of their relationship. There's Quinn to consider as well. Mytyl has a bit of a starcrossed vibe with him. Kirin is next to impossible, but Gunvolt was falling for her by the end of GV3 and his last thoughts as he was "dying" was that he wanted to see her one more time.

Gee, I wonder what direction things will go, and if these directions would encourage some of those female enemies to want to befriend and romantically pursue Gunvolt instead of kill him, especially considering a few of them thought he was attractive back in the original timeline.

Damn, Kirin really hates this guy. She even gives him the classic cold Gunvolt send-off. No sympathy, does not bother to comfort him. Felt like I was back in one of the first two games. I didn't know she had it in her.

Because Asimov is the sickest person in Gunvolt. The rocket launcher joke at the start makes you think he's going to be another quirky character, but it gets dark quick, and in no time, he's talking about forcing the teenage girl his foster son has a crush on to marry him, then Mytyling her for her septima. He's on such another level compared to everyone else, he feels like an intruder into GV3. All the returning characters from GV1 and GV2 slot naturally into the tone of GV3, but Asimov is a fucking extraterrestrial.
Also, many adepts aren't actually aiming to kill, just maim. When you die, it's more of a gameplay abstraction. In actuality, ZED and his knights, or Kirin and her boys in the DLC, would have just beaten and restrained you. Asimov is trying to kill. His combat style is about killing as quickly and mercilessly as possible. Kirin responds in kind.
Finally, they're fighting in what looks like the brain room before Mytyl was brained. Mytyl might be in there, and Kirin might be subconsciously picking up whatever he's doing to her. Adepts are psychics. In the Japanese script, they are literally called psychics. So they can feel one another sometimes. Muses are especially good at it. Mytyl might not be a giant brain yet, but if she's around, she's projecting a lot of anguish, which would cause Kirin to be less of a nice girl.

I once asked AI if it was polygamy to marry several people whom were the same person.
The answer was yes but actually no so there'd be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit if the wedding to three women who are the same woman is impeded.
I wish I had saved that.
Now that I think about it, this also applies to Cyan since Morpho is her or rather a protection of her ideal self and would be part of the relationship too.
And Morpho is now with Kirin so her future husband to be in a relationship with Kirin and Kirin's friend's memory of a friend's tulpa.
Why does this keep happening?

maybe in GV2 it was just for edgy shock value, but GV3 reframed it for story and character development. it wasn't shock and done, move on to next enemy that GV2 showed it was, it really fucked GV up and he feels deep regret for killing her. inti resurrected her at the end of GV3 anyway when morb granted GV's wish.

Could be. That would allow them to sidestep rehiring voice actors, but if that was the case, they could have just kept GV in Kirin's timeline, or timeskipped him into the future. Luxia specifically said that GV was returned to the time and place of his birth, so that would imply that it's the same world with most of the same people. If they don't appear, it's probably because Gunvolt would not have encountered them rather than them never having existed.

Isn't that what people think Xiao's character is about. He pushes a lot of things behind the scenes. He seems to know a lot more than he's letting on. He's hinted at having time powers. In the Jap script, Nori pointedly asks him if he plans to give the pendant to Eden or Gunvolt at the very end of the game. Reading between the lines, she'd only ask him that if he'd worked with/manipulated Eden too. Very fishy guy. Hope to see more of him if they ever make a new Gunvolt gaem.

Xiao is nothing.man, I'm talking about a hidden sister who becomes the catalyst for Gunvolt becoming the Azure Striker, is Copen's love interest, probably influenced Professor Kamizono's research and also gave Zonda the idea behind Eden. They're similar but completely different.

>supposed to be intelligent
It feels like a good chunk of septimals we see are geniuses. Kirin and Shiron tested out of high school and are attending college courses despite being 13-14. There are plenty of other adepts throughout the series who are geniuses, like Merak, Tesseo, Zonda, Asroc, ZED, and Nova. Even Gunvolt and Joule are really smart. Neither of them had any schooling, but they wanted to go to school just to feel normal. So over Summer break, they mastered the K-8th Grade curriculum so they could attend classes together. GV did this on top of working a job. Like that's insane. I am having a really difficult time arguing against why adepts shouldn't rule humanity, especially because in the GVerse, my kids or their kids will likely be adepts themselves.

The named adepts you see in game are exceptional. They're to adepts what normal adepts are to nonadepts and then some. Your normie adept is only slightly more intelligent and fit than a nonadept on average, and their power isn't all that special. In fact, most of them are better off relying on guns over their powers. Septimal power can scale your physical and mental abilities, so if your septima is the type to boost intelligence, and you are a top tier adept, you are going to be a supergenius. The argument against adepts is that they're all slightly insane due to anime brain, and one of them will eventually achieve Octima and rewrite reality.

There's got to be some character they're both drawing from, because there are just too many similarities, in the same way that To Aru and Gunvolt are similar because they're both inspired by the same source material.

The timeline still has to be consistent right. Mytyl is still going to die if they don't remove her septima, Joule will still be made to host it, the Muse is still paramount for every faction involved. The one thing that can be different is Gunvolt's approach since Kirin's teachings proved that Adepts didn't HAVE to die and CAN be reasoned with, just so long as you beat them enough to hit the factory reset.
Copen is more of a wild card, but that's for Mytyl to try and fix.

Unless you're Asimov. He's the only character who's gotten less sympathetic over time. Originally, his Septima was causing progressive brain damage, which explained why he pivoted from raising GV to treat everyone equally to being more racist than Tenjian.

The wallpapers will be canon. That's what all the buildup in Gunvolt 3 is pointing towards. I'm surprised that people were so blind to it for years.
So many people whining about how GV3 severs the series from everything before it when it is the Gunvolt game most obsessed with the past. So many people who think that this is a conclusion to Gunvolt's story when the ending of GV3 and its DLC have a far stronger sequel hook than GV1 or GV2 did. Or they feel the next Gunvolt is going to be like iX, where the games are only very loosely connected, when it's literally stated that Gunvolt is in HIS past.
The plot threads and mysteries from GV2, like Nori, Xiao, and the pendant, or the end of the world, are still there, they were just put temporarily on pause. GV3, in retrospect, will feel like a bridge between arcs in the series, a real middle game.
All this assumes INTI does not go under, of course. The economy is predicted to be rough in the coming years, but vidya companies have proven to be resilient in economic downturns.

>So many people who think that this is a conclusion to Gunvolt's story when the ending of GV3 and its DLC have a far stronger sequel hook than GV1 or GV2 did.
It's because most of them played it before the ending was patched. Postpatch established a problem and gave GV a clear objective to pursue. Prepatch, the ending felt very open, like it was something you could continue or end a series on. It's the difference between ending a game with:
>we blew up the invader's mothership
>mabey there are more out there, but the game makes no comment on it
vs
>we blew up the invader's mothership
>it sent a signal out at the last moment, which is picked up by ships on the other side of the galaxy
The prepatch ending was very unsatisfying in comparison. Aside from the above, the postpatch ending had some nice feels with Gunvolt and Kirin's relationship. Gunvolt thinks he's dying, so the last thing he does as he loses consciousness is thank Kirin and say how much he wanted to see her again. It's the sort of bittersweet stuff I love in Gunvolt endings.
The other thing is that the dialogue confirming that Gunvolt was sent back to the time and place of his birth, and not some alternate dimension, is in one of the ATEMS home conversations. Most home conversations are boring, so people skip them. The ATEMS ones are good though; they probably have the best team dynamic since Eden in Eden's Party, and they do a lot more lore/story talk than Kirin and her bros or Quinn and Joule. I'd recommend.

There is actually an autistic lore blurb about this, because INTI backs up most of its anime nonsense. What you're seeing is their septimosome escaping their corporeal form. So long as there's a phylactery to collect the septimosome, like say a glaive or Kirin's sword, the adept can recover. It's why the Sumeragi adepts Elise resurrected weren't husks like the other zombies she brought back; their souls were held in their glaives, allowing a transplant back to the bodies. It's also why Gunvolt just drops dead when he's shot by the greed snatcher, as that negates his septima, making him for all intents, a regular human.

He doesn't drop dead though, he needs a proper cap in his ass after greed snatcher neutralizes his septima. Copen also got his ass handed to him by Asimov despite hitting the latter with GS. The only time GS provokes a violent reaction is when the adept in question is under the armed influence as we see Elise explode only seconds after getting hit.

People usually group Zed with the protagonists in their minds. He's definitely more popular than Nova, at least.

The Tenjian illusion does say that Kirin isn't fit to "appreciate our shared ideals," so she's definitely on the same wavelength as Eden. Furthermore, she doesn't work with a single minos in all of GV3. Doesn't even have a minos secretary. Why is that?
>>
>>563509336
>Doesn't even have a minos secretary. Why is that?
It's because minos suck. Shiron and Apollo can do the work of an entire office floor of normies in a quarter of the time. Kirin and Shiron have both already tested out of high school and are college students on the side, and they're 14 and 13 respectively. You just can't beat an adept at their fixation, and you certainly won't beat one of the superintelligent ones at smart stuff unless you're a 6th wave freak like Cope.

So you're saying that if things turned out okay, he would have been cool with killing Zonda? GV3's script didn't make it sound that it way. It sounded like killing Zonda was the sore point, and shit not getting better was just salt in the wound.
I am just saying that it's really funny or dumb that he was super edgy, showing no compassion and absolute hate toward her in GV2, to GV3 where he loses composure and is super regretful when Zonda's death is brought up

They're both drawing heavily from Alice in Wonderland and the Magical Girl genre. Aside from that, pink + blond hair anime girls often come off as equally regal and sultry.

They did severely nerf Gunvolt at the end of GV3. Remember, Morb shattered their octima, leaving most of the power behind when they launched themselves back through time. The white sparkly things trailing the Gunvolt comet? That's his power bleeding away. ZED and Layla then accidentally destroyed all of GV's shed septimosome shards save for one.
I'm guessing somebody might be wrangling Tsuda. Maybe GV3 really is an extended metaphor, with GV being Tsuda and Kirin being his handlers.

Because the inclusion of Kirin herself is extremely stupid and handwavy, you never truly get a sense of exactly who Kirin is at her core. You're told some vague ideals, but never why those are important to Kirin. Not like they're ever challenged in the game itself as every villain conveniently changes their view to match Kirin's, and those who don't deserved to die anyway. She comes off less as a person and more like a loose collection of character traits strung together by the whims of the narrative. Terrible character to base your thread identity around.

It would, but exceptional intelligence is a trait shared by many adepts. Many powerful septima will boost intelligence and/or strength to superheroic levels. This is something that is mentioned in Fleeting Memories. One of the reasons why Kamizono hates adepts.
Merak, Teseo, Zonda, Nova, ZED, Shiron, Kirin, Asroc, Gunvolt, Joule, and Mytyl all benefit from Septimal intelligence. It's how they justify the anime trope of the precocious anime teenager being an incredible savant who is cool under pressure and can be given far more responsibilities than he or she should ever be given, like say leading and organizing an international terrorist/revolutionary army, or leading the military wing of what is effectively your country.

And then Gunvolt or Copen radicalizes them further to the dark side (usually by killing their friends or wrecking their stuff, but sometimes it's a bad argument or just being a dick to them) and then they have to kill them.

I just wonder when exactly the switch happened in the world, that made septima the norm.
Since septima is both expected and yet private it has to have been long enough for a massive shift yet soon enough that it's not something you'd want others to know about.

There is a point to be made that it is humanity's own treatment of Adepts that leads to many reactionary conflicts, but that is just perpetuating the cycle of abuse and justifying using their own personal pain as an excuse to inflict harm onto others or through some warped version of self preservation, you know, the thing GV is kinda against. Then you also have to consider the fact that the game takes place in the relative safety of Sumeragi controlled nippon, and that the outside world is a complete hellscape of societal collapse primarily due to adepts. The maltreatment is not completely unwarranted.
And Cope didn't really do much of anything in the canon, it was all Gunvolt.

Won't the xenophobia be back in GV4? In GV3, it's a lot more subtle, but still kinda there. ZED is an adept supremacist. Kirin is, no meme, a low key one too. She doesn't speak out against Eden's supremacist talk, vibes with Teseo, and responds positively to some of Asimov's ideals (specifically the bits about building a utopia for adepts). It's his methods she doesn't like.

Reminder that Eden, the terroristic anime supremecist group, canonically had a significant fanbase among nonadepts because Teseo was actually pretty good at producing videos and Eden members were really hot. Like adult Zonda and Desna are meant to be the hottest girls in GV and get worshiped because they're so beautiful. Gibril is also insanely popular due to her embarrassing cosplay.

The possibility of Xiao and Copen teaming up to fuck over GV are not zero. Remember, one of the ways of preventing the end of the world is by killing Gunvolt. Going with the themes of the series and GV3's true end, this would be a bad end, but not the worst one. The best one, that leads to the wallpaper dimension, is GV surviving and saving the world through through the power of friendship or something (because septima obeys the laws of anime).

The septimosomes of dead adepts. Weak adept spirits dissipate immediately. Powerful dead adepts leave behind lingering spirits that start to emit a sort of magical radiation. It's all shrouded in mystery.
>what is a septimosome
Basically, it's the gun that shoots the septima. The more septimosome the adept has, the stronger the adept. It's found in their blood, and it's why they look like anime characters. It's also why their blood glows, and they explode into light shows.
Not much is known about septimosome. Through some unknown process, the septimosome may be drawn out into a glaive, thus sealing it from an adept. Powerful adepts may still use a portion of their power, however, even after being glaived. Either this is because they can overcome the seal in a limited fashion, or because the glaive can only hold so much septimosome before it overflows (the latter is supported by Nova's multiple seals).

Now consider that Copen explodes when he dies as well, but he doesn't scatter into pretty septimosomes. It's just blood, gore and viscera when his suit detonates while he's stuck inside it, or it would be if the game was a little more edgy. Instead he just gets atomized.

Where would you stick that? There would be no place to fit a bittersweet Zonda-Eden medley, because there is no story scene that treats them sympathetically within the game. This is by design. You are supposed to be hyped up to kill them at first, like Gunvolt and Copen. Other audio dramas that focus on villains also have their themes rendered sympathetically, sometimes even heroically. The contrast is greater with Eden, however.
>INTI are sadistic.

>Classic GV character:
>My dad was a nob who couldn't stand having an anime daughter. He beat me and my mother, giving me a sadomasochistic complex. It doesn't come up in game, so it's treated as a joke, but if you dig, the joke becomes recontextualized as something really fucked up. My mom loved me very much, but was a total pushover. I had to kill my dad when I was around 13 with my mom's own blood after he caved her skull in. Police arrested me, so I broke out, and wondered the streets. Eventually, some other fellow orphan adepts invited me to join their gang. They noted the lethality of my power, and pushed for increasingly violent crimes where I was their main bludgeon. I hated it at first, but grew to love the blood. I realized the gang only saw me as a weapon, not family, and I was in a self-loathing rut, so when Zonda came knocking, I agreed to join, but she had to give me a good fight first. Beaten, and lying on the ground, I began to laugh.
And that's just the first part. Then it goes on and starts intersecting with other characters' stories. And then she saves a bunch of adepts from a pogrom. And then she gets trolled by Teseo. And then she infiltrates Sumeragi and has a team battle with the Sumeragi Seven while Asimov uses the chaos to sneak in QUILL. And then, she tries to cheer up an adept child and becomes an internet sensation while inspiring her leader to come up with a plan to create a utopia for adepts. And there are probably some short stories I am missing up there, and then she dies. Oh, and she only gets like 6 lines in the game proper.
>GV3 character:
>I traveled around training my muscles and looking for good fights.
I really do like GV3 characters, they're a lot of fun, they get a lot of dialogue, they're active throughout the story, and the ATEMS members have some great team dynamics, but they are missing a lot of the spice from the classical characters.

Aside from adepts now basically owning everything, there's a real lack of major change in GV3. For instance, let's look at the city. iX looks like time has passed. The adept inhabited areas of the city look sleeker and more futuristic while the rest of the city has been left to ruin. The setting has changed in meaningful ways at a glance. Meanwhile, GV3 doesn't look that many years ahead of GV2. The city still basically looks the same. Technology only looks slightly more sleek at best. Maybe a decade at most has passed.

I say that something significant has changed but as usual it makes Kirin look like a Sumeragi stooge. The fact that everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING can turn into a killzone in minutes at most. This so called high trust society living a new golden age has an amount of guns aimed at it's population at all times that would make a megacity from Judge Dredd look like Norway.

I can't tell if these are typos or not...but besides a couple of those walls the Christmas stage is all mobile enemies, presumably the Peacekeepers that came in response to BB, and the Megafloat is a Sumeragi facility.

That should be attributed to the fact that there is a very real and ongoing state mandated genocide going on against the minos.
I do not understand why there's such a massive timeskip anyway, it doesn't support the narrative in any sense. It just turns Cope into even more of a loser.

Samefagging but I need to expand on this; I don't understand why they turned Cope into a clanker either. Like why? Why do this?
Initially I liked the idea of Cope, I think it's important to have an ordinary human perspective in a series that is mostly about anime x-men and their aftereffects on society that isn't just
>Oh Gunvolt is so hot I wish he'd fill me with his septimal manchowder
but making him a clanker just removes that aspect entirely. The minos' victory against Sumeragi and Demerzel cannot even be attributed to humanity as we've now just circled back to MMX/Z where reploids fix everything and humanity just sits around being useless and busting nuts against the wall. It's just so fucking lame and tone deaf, why would you even do this to your own creation.
And I don't care that Kohaku came waltzing in to take the final shot post-credits after the Jobber Extraordinaire needed yet another bailout.
Tai a shit, can't we get a new writer. And a new human character to play as well, I can't take this clown seriously anymore.

Man, you keep bringing this up but, except for Cyber Kowloon, which had Shiron the tech wiz fucking with things, there were not guns everywhere. What you have are peacekeeper forces going on rampages with their machinery due to dragon radiation. Usually, they were there to contain rampaging adepts and assist in evacuations, then the radiation spreads too quickly past the barricade and pulls them in as well. It's not that military shit is just always there. There are also the temple laser traps, but both Kirin and Zed bring up the absurdity of those, so it's not seen as normal.

Inti doesn't have it in them to make a gacha. Not only can they not figure out a short gameplay loop, not only can they not design appealing characters anymore, but they also can't write a consistent story without the writer getting bored and giving up halfway through. In games that are, at best, 3 hours long.

You might care, but nobody else does.
Nikke's main story revolves around the Raptures and the Rapture Queen while also focusing on the politics happening in the Ark, and that's been following along nicely. Limbus is the one where you're, what, 3 years into the game and you still don't know why the fuck you're even collecting boughs or books or whatever the damn plot was.

I'm thinking that Zonda dying, GV eating Asimov's Azure Spirits, and Xiao getting the pendant were what locked in the bad ending. Think about it.
First, Zonda had one of the best intuitive understandings of the internal workings of septima in Gunvolt. She figured out how the muse's power worked pretty quickly from Olga, created the grimoires, figured out that she was muse capable and came up with her plan to merge her septima with Mytyl's, and everything else. Like Nova has parallels to being copy-X, Zonda has many parallels to Ciel. Imagine how MMZ would have turned out with Ciel dying. She was also pointed out by Tsuda to be the Roll of Gunvolt (hilariously NOT Joule or Mytyl)
The Azure (AB) Spirits thing is explained in game, so I don't need to reiterate it here. Asimov continues to fuck up GV from beyond the grave.
Finally, Xiao, doing nothing is doing EVERYTHING. The pendant could have saved everyone, but he hid it.
Also, Xiao's story doesn't add up. One of the big clues comes early on, when he says that Eden killed the mainland branch of QUILL. Yet Zonda and a couple of other Eden members speak glowingly of QUILL. Zonda's only issue is that their methods don't save adepts quickly enough.
Finally, Nori specifically asked Xiao if he would give the pendant to Eden. This question seems to be absurd on the surface. He just spent the entire game killing them all, even whipping up GV's bloodlust when GV started yearning for some sort of less-violent strategies or resolution, unless you do some detective work.
Shortly before the events of the first game, one of the G7 died under mysterious circumstances. This is brought up in a few of the drama tracks. A lot of people think "dead guy" may have been Xiao. Xiao's powers are also implied to be something about time from all the design ques, artwork, and design books, which would make Nori's dialogue much more sensical.

Gunvolt's script is really weird in the characters talk and act like the most bombastic 90s shōnen anime characters, but the script can still be pretty subtle. People say that because of the first, the latter can't exist. There are no meanings to be found between the lines. Characters will just state what they are feeling. Important details will be shown clearly in text. But then GV3 comes out and confirms a lot of what people thought the text of the older stuff might be implying.

Even 8-4's script, which villainizes her, left this tidbit in. Does Zonda not realize that QUILL's mission is to not just save adepts, but create a world where adepts and nonadepts coexist side by side? Why would she call those goals noble, and later, beautiful?

Dunno if she's referring to Quill's stated purpose or the hidden supremacist agenda Asimov injected into the organization. Quill's primary goal was to free adepts from Sumeragi. I think the coexistence stuff gets read into the organization because of Gunvolt, Moniqa, and Zeno's views and because they grew out of human rights groups, which usually push for coexistence and tolerance.

I disagree, it didn't have 'some' good art. That was one of the main talking points when the game was first revealed: Just how awful it looked both in gameplay and in general.
The designs are too busy, there's not a clear focal point, it's just a mishmash of random elements in bright colours that all vie for attention. As it is, It unironically looks like Natsume was on shrooms when he made this game. He should've toned down complexity and favored readability some more.
Look at this shit, it's a mess. It's on the same level as Xenoblade 2 Rex and FFT Luso Clemens. It's right at home in the "lets all make fun of glaringly bad JRPG designs and it's very funny" joke threads on /v/.

That's a lot of words to say "I don't like thing". Okay, cool, it's not for you then. And no, I don't remember people trashing stuff like the actual character designs when it was revealed, just that there's a lot of visual effects going on in combat which makes it hard to read (which is true somewhat). As for the Louise portrait you posted, it fits with the fairy tale nonsense book world concept just fine. It's not a mishmash of elements and is obviously going for "shark" and "mermaid" themes. It's not meant to be some grounded realistic design and it's nowhere near as busy as something like FFT Luso.

We'd be meming about Copen being Batman since he apparently didn't kill the adept and we'd be hyping ourselves up for a mercy run, Gunvolt being a Sumeragi sellout with a weird glaive or that they'd reused aspects of the rejected badguy Gunvolt plot, and Elise being back or Xiao manipulating time to bring back enemies.

It's hard to fix anything about Copen as he's pretty much just a gag now. I guess I wouldn't have made him playable to begin with. Just the fact that he spared Kirin after she attacked him unprovoked like an unhinged psycho was already preeeetty stupid. That's how all the falcons met their end, he has no reason to spare anyone.
I would turn him into the game's undisputed EX boss. I'm not convinced AT ALL that this guy is as powerful as Tai likes to think he is, especially not with how he feels in gameplay. So show it to me, Tai, without any constraits and janky gameplay and EMPTY. Show me just how powerful he's supposed to be now.

GV3 made me care a lot more for GV than I did in past games. His anime autism is cute in GV3 instead of cringe and he's likable instead of making me pissed. I liked his character development better in the third game. In the past games he flops between being a good boy to being edgy. Like he will see a villain with a sad backstory and who will say some depressing shit as they die and he will taunt them or say an angry "badass" one-liner back, which is pretty shit.

The sudden swerve is all GV2's fault. INTI hated how bleak and depressing it was, especially when combined with the side material. The staff really didn't like the "bittersweet" ending, probably why GV3 ends up treating GV2 as a complete downer. Even for Gunvolt, moments like Pantera's death goes from a righteous display of vengeance against ultimate evil to "I crushed a little girl's dreams of utopia and murdered her" between games. They had no idea where to follow up on the plot hooks it left dangling. GV1 and GV2 are intimately connected, with the most fleshed casts (see >>563582282). The characters between both games crossover heavily into each other's stories, and feel the most like they exist in the setting. INTI has said before that they feel like they can't top these characters, and now that they're all dead, so where do they go?They go back.

It's very consistent. Due to Asimov's indoctrination, Gunvolt is very good at compartmentalization.
There's DorkVolt, who is a pretty swell guy. He's compassionate and doesn't like violence. He's a big softie. Then there's the Azure Striker, who is cold as ice. And Gunvolt can flip between the two as needed.
Gunvolt will dehumanize his enemies. It's very obvious with Elise's encounter and how he turns on a dime with her, from maximum sympathy to annoyance. You could also look at the Eden encounters where he is mostly unphased when he hears some of their backstories. As the games go on, the barrier between his two personas starts breaking down, which is what leads to a lot of his angst.
Finally, there's the Berserker, who usually appears in the final stages, when somebody harms Joule. This is the Gunvolt who says that he will show no mercy, even if asked, everyone is going to die.
INTI writing is good enough. It's not deep, but it's interesting and justifies itself.

>most adepts are minors, as Gunvolt's generation are the first to have adepts born in significant number; before then, adepts were very rare
>their superpowers sometimes give them superhuman competence and intelligence which normalizes adept teens doing important job
>the world is mostly anarchic wastelands or cyberpunk dystopias, so child labor is normalized
>because many powerful adepts are so intelligent, they just test out of school, subverting the anime school tropes you would expect INTI to fall for
Breaks down in GV3 though, since by that point, you should have enough adult adepts where children aren't being employed over adults unless they have very useful abilities, and they'd be closely supervised, not in positions of authority. Ironically, iX got it better here, where all the important adepts are in their 20s and 30s.

Not all of them. Isola was just 17, and she only managed to hold her important position for a day before the jaded 114 year old man in a body resembling a 14 year old boy came along to end her entire career, then go home to raise a handful of other men's children.

There's something really funny and loreful about the peacekeepers giving Copen a harder time than the primordial dragons. His kit is built to take on adepts, not missiles, guns, and tanks. Those lock on projectiles and missiles were the bane of my existence in Connect iX, whereas with Kirin, it's as easy as a deflect.

Have you listened to Eden's Party? It's pretty big. In the game, she's mysterious and sinister. She always keeps her cool, always has a plan, and is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve it. She seems completely unapproachable. You can't imagine her being human. In EP? Almost the complete opposite. She can be warm, she can joke around, she can be naive and too trusting when topics outside her comfort area come up, and she can be childish (like dramatically narrating activities out loud to annoy Gibril).

Elise in her story is about the same as the one in the game, just better put together because she hadn't been tortured. She's shy and depressed, but not a barely held together wreck moments away from tears. The domme side is a persona she puts on during gaming and isn't so murderous either.

Has all the recent GV3 discussion been because one of the INTI employees who lurks here finally got tired of the Xiao memes? Because we've gone from GV3 is literally nothing that totally deleted the world/setting of GV1-2 from the series and every game after is going to be something completely different from the previous, sort of like each iX game is only loosely connected, to GV3 actually cares a lot about the past games and the future game will springboard off of it and go right back to the old setting and cast we all like and we will see old plot threads picked back up like the pendant and NOTHING.

Nothing. I do want a spin off game dedicated to Gibril (shard) with Zonda as the muse, fighting for their new Eden away from Japan or China.

Real irony I've realized through these discussions is that GV2 and GV3's endings are complete opposites when it comes to their romantic interests.
In GV2, Gunvolt meets an amnesiac Joule/Mytyl, but abandons her because he realizes that they're bad for each other, and he'll keep dragging her into trouble. Later, he also abandons Quinn.
In GV3, he really wants to be by Kirin's side as it's the happiest he's ever been, but he's forced to part ways with her because all of his mistakes have caught up with him.

Isn't Xiao the same age as Zonda? And he grew up in the same area as her. It'd be weird if Zonda ended up being his muse/possibly romantic option.
Xiao's muse will be whoever he hands the pendent to. So he'll get the pendent, send the pendent to the past, get muse, try to save the world in a way that conflicts with GV's methods, you get the idea. Zonda is established to have Joule level compatibility with Mytyl's septimosome, doubly so once she merged it at the end of GV2. It makes a certain amount of sense to give it to Zonda after her future version did all the work and sacrificing, but I doubt it. The pendent will go to someone completely new. Not just because Xiao explicitly told Nori he wasn't going to hand it over to Eden, but because INTI doesn't like to recycle characters in that way.

Ouka is always seen as the most useless character in the franchise... She disappeared as soon as she appeared, never to even get mentioned in GV3, though it's implied that she simply died of old age because half a century passed between the two games (one of the most stupid moves in a chronicled series).
Also, I'd rather see a playable Michiru just to be collab fodder with iX.

>Ouka is always seen as the most useless character in the franchise
I think Kohaku takes that spot, I at least get what they were trying to do with Ouka. She acts as an emotional anchor in Gunvolt's chaotic life and helps him to readjust and regain his confidence, and also to highlight Gunvolt's desire to protect humanity rather than just only interacting with other Adepts. She's boring, but sure.
Kohaku and all those random little kids I can't recall the names of? Literally pointless bystanders that doesn't do anything for the game. At first she's just a plot catalyst to snap Blade out of her brainwashing, then later she's just a tool for Mother. And that's the best thing that happened to her, when she stopped being Kohaku.

Copen is already tethered to the franchise's number 1 genki fanservice girl, Kohaku can't compete with that.

It would've been way more fun if he had to deal with a schizo like Isola.

Shonen heroine stigma. The main heroine in a shonen is barely if ever allowed to be something more than the love interest. And probably for the better, the last time somebody messed up with that they made Uraraka the gold digger.

Ironically, Kirin ends up doing a better job of this. GV's life is chaotic. It is a Saturday morning anime. Ouka is the rejection of that to be a normal person. But again, he's not a normal person, he's an adept. In fact, he's to adepts what most adepts are to us.
Kirin is the acceptance of it. It's learning to live with and love it. Despite being reduced to a dog, GV3 is the first time he's happy going out on adventures. It's the first time when his GVisms, like shouting "Oversurge! Azure Striker..." don't feel like cringe. It's because he's being true and consistent to who he is. Before that, it's all emo crap.
So in that respect, Ouka still ended up a failure.
>>
>>563665678
Anon, Kirin toungue raped him in a way even a fat bastard would blush, tuned him into a dog, used him as a sex pet when she wasn't using him as a weapon (and the weapon part was the best part of his day), made all the intrussive thoughts in his head come to life, subjected him to one of the most retarded plots in videogame history and made him live all his worst fears again. It is no wonder Gunvolt kills himself in both endings.
>>
>>563665678
Good point on the normal person angle. That's where a lot of the discordant elements in the first two games come from. GV and another chuuni are yelling anime catchphrases at each other. Then GV Luxcaliburs the other teen, killing him or her. It's what a normal person would do in a fight when stakes are as high as they are in Gunvolt, especially in world as violent and dystopian as Gunvolt's, but it still doesn't feel right. It feels like Gunvolt is breaking some sort of sacrosanct law. It's also why the chuuni catchphrases come off as cringy in the first two games, whereas it's endearing in GV3. In GV1/2, you're thinking "man, you just killed a thirteen-year-old, why are you posing and shouting Oversurge."
>>
>>
>>563665934
Kirin isn't going to be in the next game. She'll just be a bad dream. Gunvolt will wake up, and he'll be back in the classic era, taking care of Joule, talking nerd shit with Xeno, disappointing Asimov, and dodging tongue rape sessions with Elise.

Don't care. Best Gunvolt and Gunvolt character arc. Best character interactions and dialogue. Best portrayal of characters.
Sumeragi and Eden are better characters, but most of the shit that makes them interesting is found in side material, not the actual game, and they die so quick. And Gunvolt's/Copen's interactions with them in GV1/2 is "tch, annoying, die." At least with Kirin you get some fun banter since she's half as insane as they are.
>>

>>563668023
There's more? I thought that all there was to it was normal person like Romero, not normal but not quite an adept like Shinobu, Kirin and Maya and adept proper. Then there was Ddragon that was an unatural step in anime because only one timeline has those but that's another can of worms.

Kohaku is also described to have a supernatural knack for machinery. She has no formal education, she just wings it and it werks, so she's up there on the lifewave too. I think these are just boring characters for the sake of being boring.
I honestly can't believe this series went on for 5 games and never explored Copen interacting with an adept that he couldn't just kill and is forced to cooperate with, like a ball-and-chain dynamic. It seems like such a natural place to take him, rather than just dumping him in with Ouka 2.0.

Copen being an underdog is fine, but underdogs also HAS to win as their success serves as a testament to the idea that perseverance, grit, and belief can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. There's no point if they don't ever win, otherwise we're just playing as a habitual loser and wondering why we can't get a better protagonist who can protag better.

As you resonate up in Lifewave levels, you grow more anime and powerful. Up until GV's era, higher Lifewave level corresponded to rarity (1 = most common, 6 =extremely rare). For a long time, Senary was thought to be the maximum level.
>Primordial (1st-3rd)
The first three levels get group together. It's basically just normal people, like you and me.
>Tetrad (4th)
>Quinary (5th)
Not much of a difference between these two. At this level, you start being able to interact with the supernatural world. This is where mystics, mikos, mages, and psychics sat before adepts popped up. Typically, people here show exceptional talent or luck, but it's still within the realms of possibility.
>Senary (6th)
This is where we start getting anime. Senary is basically Septima without the ability to throw around fireballs. These are people who could have superhuman intellect or strength. In the GV/GG lore, mythological figures like Heracles would have Senary. From the Tetrad to Senary is where a lot of GalGun and GalGuardian antics take place.
>Septima (7th)
>Octima (8th)
And of course then we have Septima and Octima, but the games cover those.

C'mon mate, you ain't fooling nobody. If you know a detail like Dr. Kamizono's hair color, then you'd know that septimosome alters a person's mind and appearance, usually making them "anime." Septimosome in the blood is responsible for adepts being more healthy, more intelligent, and having all those crazy hair and eye colors.

No, the LN is pretty consistent with this. Anime looks means you have something unnatural about you. The explanation is that he's a hapa, half white half Japanese, but he looks way more white than Japanese. So yes, Copen is quarter white.

The platinum blonde hair is from jolly ol' Dr. K. The red eyes is probably a recessive gene since Maya has those too.
It seems that Septima plays a role in dictating just how anime you hair gets. It's probably safe to say that The Muse is associated with purple hair, and I base that on absolutely nothing besides pattern recognition. It explains why why Joule has it, why Jiibui's tips turns purple, why Zonda gets it, and why Mytyl gets it too after being reunited with her septima. All of Roro's concept art also featured her with pinkish/lilac hair before they settled on green, as her entire schtick is copying a septima that is good enough.

Cope probably has a very high level Senary. His description basically matches up word for word with the description for Senary. Looking at his hair, I think his GV2 bad future version gets septimosome corruption or something too.

Oh, and she's got mirror motif on top of the card + butterfly motif too, by the way (because she uses the mirrors to disguise herself). She is very Zonda. And to rub salt in the wound, she is one of the most popular anime characters this season, despite being a villain.

>>563681446
So far, whenever the heroes debate her, she destroys them, and then they're like "stop trying to deceive me," directly attack her, and then she smacks them with her rod, does some illusion stuff, and spams them with purple lasers like it's Touhou.
Zonda was able to win her debate against GV in the Japanese script (8-4 translation replaced a lot of her calm counterpoints with insults and condescension to make GV look more like a chad), but I think she'd lose to Kirin or MorbGV.

If timetravelfag is right, Zonda is way too important a character to ignore. It'd be like Nova suddenly not being there. You can write Elise, Gerbil, Quinn, Carrera or Asroc out without issue. It would suck, but you could. You can't say the same with Asimov, Nova, Zonda, Joule/Mytyl or Copen. They're too important. Nova and Asimov are such big deals that they show up even in GV3.
They could sidestep it if GV time traveled to a completely different world, say with different people and nations and history and stuff, then they can do whatever, but that would be retarded and you guys know it. Then again, this is INTI we are talking about.
>>
>>
>>563688012
Zonda'll be around, but she might not be in the game. Same as some of the other shakers. It would be ridiculous though if GV doesn't run into a familiar face. In Japan, Sumeragi is everywhere. If he's globetrotting, unless he's keeping his head down, which would go against his character, I'd imagine some G7 member if not Zonda herself would reach out. Adepts seem like a small community in GV1/2; word gets around of powerful and influential individuals. I would at least expect a mention of the organizations, unless things are so derailed that the setting is completely alien. That might be the case, "butterfly flaps its wings," but how much could GV really change in the first few years of his life?
>>
All this GV3 talk is making me angry again. GV3 utterly betrays the premise of GV1 and 2. It even betrays iX1 and iX2, and all the external media for those three games. The conflict between adepts and non-adepts is just unceremoniously dropped, the game tries to pretend Sumeragi’s turned a new leaf (the plot of the game literally happens because of two forsaken children locked in basements powering Sumeragi’s ambitions so no lol), and it also severs all connections to the previous games just for the hell of it.
Even if you ignore all of that, GV3 in a vacuum is a very bad story. Literal demon fetus from nowhere hijacks the plot, characters are under-explained and tropey, the aforementioned contradictory stance on Sumeragi (yes Kirin we should hand over the super baby back to Sumeragi so they can keep irradiating people great idea), dumb crap like Kirin kissing GV not even five seconds after he’s human again, the dragon radiation as a concept, bringing back illusions of old GV bosses…
And then they spend all the time criticizing on GV for killing in the past games. Excuse me? Did you see what scum these characters were? There was nothing redeemable about them. I get that they have cute looks, but ignore that and they are disgusting. Merak is a sociopath who drowned his own men to trap GV. Viper and Elise have rapey and abusive vibes. Nova wants to turn adepts into a hivemind under his control and conquer the world. Gibril enjoys mass murder and killed a school bus of children because she was bored. Tenjian froze a city killing thousands, likely catching many adepts as collaterol, just because. Zonda is a smug little bitch who manipulates even her brother to his death for her delusions of godhood and desires mass death. I could go on. These are not characters you should have sympathy for. And the game makes GV out to be in the wrong for killing them. That he felt regret when the past games never implied anything like that; they showed that he felt nothing...
>>
...and anger towards them, even telling some of them to go to hell if they were still alive after he landed a death blow on them. Even Kirin, the game's mouthpiece, said that GV was bad in the past for the above.
And on Kirin, she is the worst part of the writing. She’s insufferable. The game attempts to paint her as right, but gives us zero reason to side with her. Even GV mentions in a base convo he doesn’t want to side with Sumeragi (her) but is forced to or else the dragon disease will make him kill people. She’s supposed to be Sumeragi’s checks and balances but also keeps choosing to side with Sumeragi at every opportunity. Even if you get past that she’s such a blah nothing devoid of personality or lore. She has no friends, no worries or insecurities, is never proven wrong, her past is never mentioned, she has no interests or hobbies… And this is the damn character the story is told through. Honestly, I have this tinfoil hat theory that Kirin was inserted into the story “late” and that wrecked what little the story had going for it.
The kicker is that even if you liked anything about GV3’s story, too bad they preemptively threw it in the trash can for us already. This post is long enough so TLDR, the Gunvolt series is inspired by Chojin Locke and this sets up GV fully as the Locke stand-in. Chojin Locke caps off arcs by sealing Locke away for 100+ years (more like 1000) so he can fight again another day. A rule is that every time the entire supporting cast will be dead and gone by the time Locke is released and fights again, assuming they even survived the arc. GV didn’t go back in time, Kirin won’t find him and raise him, and there’s no multiverse anything going on. When GV flies off as a baby that’s him entering stasis to wake up in the distant future the long way. He will fight in another conflict because Bideo Bame. Maybe Sumeragi will be the bad guys again but in outer space. Who cares. Clearly INTI don't.

People suck at character analysis, nowadays. I guess even something like Gunvolt's script is too nuanced for people. So when the topic of Kirin's personal history comes up, she starts dodging. That she doesn't divulge much about herself isn't a writing failure, it's a feature of her character. From what you can piece together, her life sounded a bit depressing for a teenager like her:
>Shiron: Did you ever go out and do stuff with friends? Like go to malls, arcades, go out to eat?
>Kirin: It's super empty where I lived and my duties kept me busy all the time.
>Shiron: Yikes, that sounds rough... Did you get to have any fun...?
>Kirin: ...
>Kirin: What do you think, GV?
>GV: ...Why are you asking me? Well...you're a bit of a workaholic, Kirin. You should do something to relieve some stress.
>Kirin: You think so? Oh, I have an idea. I'll go get a leash and take GV for a walk.
>Shiron: Ooh, that sounds like a super fun idea! Can I come too?
>GV: I'm still human... But if you think it'll help you relieve some stress, I don't mind if it's you...
>Kirin: Hahaha... I'm just joking! You're so serious.
Apart from that, she knows how to trim a swordfish, she plays an instrument (but not very well), she loves chocolates (would be a bit chubby if not for being an adept), she's a bit of a battle maniac, and she never attended school as she tested out of it.
So basically, SY sounds like a dying organization (almost completely empty + Kirin overworked), which is why it doesn't actually do all that much. Kirin was an isolated, intelligent country bumpkin raised in a conservative temple (calls her temple really old-fashioned, said only contact to outside world was computer, etc.) who was lonely and didn't have much of a life. And she doesn't like bringing it up too often.
The rest of your post has been refuted over and over, especially the villains, so I won't bother.
>>
>>563693949
Nah, I take the theory that Shadow Yakumo is the Exorsit Club and of course Kirin would not wish to talk about that. It also explains why she's so eager to be a Sumeragi mouthpiece, a wagie and is not that suprised by moebin time.

She was indoctrinated in a very conservative environment. She wants to obey and please authority. She's a real go getter. That is both to her strength and detriment.
I don't think the story supports her viewpoint 100%, as some people argue. In the DLC, ZED can't go to her for help about the Azure Spirit problem because of her by the book approach in an obviously corrupt organization. If he informs Kirin, she'll file a report, Sumeragi buries the investigation because they want to monopolize the Azure Spirits, and then a bunch of people die when the GV dragon comes back.
However, if he nabs the Azure Spirits, he can force Sumeragi into a joint research venture, rather than them just denying the Spirits existence and sticking them in a vault for another Morb situation to happen. Sumeragi then orders Kirin to go after ZED, which she does, because again, following orders. This means ZED has to beat up her people. ZED's DLC is also the one where they discuss Sumeragi's crimes against humanity openly (like the human experimentation).
Sumeragi is weird, because it's more like a coalition of different fiefs with their own semi-independence. In the DLC, the SIT shoot at the Peacekeepers when they come knocking towards the end, for instance. So one branch of Sumeragi can be okay, but others are Mengele.

>>
>>
>>563698920
Look, the ending is less open and ambiguous than any of the prior games. Moebius tells Gunvolt that there's an unsolved problem (you are fated to end the world) gives him a solution/mission statement (make friends to find a solution, or you can kill yourselfthough in typical INTI fashion, that would probably save the world in a BAD END fashion, then sends him to the past), and then sends him to where he needs to go to complete that mission. That is the most concrete sequel hook that this franchise has ever had. And then the DLC makes more references to Gunvolt continuing adventure.
And for that fact, I don't remember a God Baby existing in Choujin, at least in the form of Morb. And I don't remember Choujin going through a regret/humiliation arc like GV either, certainly not over killing enemies. I don't think Choujin would flinch too much when Tenjian ghost brings up how he killed Zonda.

Both. The spiderfinger girl from Majogami acts very similar to Joulie and that + the rumors that Joulie was the OC waifu of someone at Inti makes me think that it was at that moment that Yuji Natsume went down his dark path.
>>
>>563700554
Weren't Eden also OCs? They have elaborate backstories, and I remember reading some Dengeki article about how Tsuda encouraged staff to write/submit characters, whereas the usual trend in Gunvolt is for Tsuda to brainstorm most of them with a couple of his pals.

Quite sad state of affairs isn't it?

In hinsight, the right call would have been just to quietly can 3 and focus that on iX2 and Majogami.

Sounds like GV was flirting with Kirin there and/or getting excited at the prospect of being leashed, which feels like it's violating some sort of universal constant. What happened to our innocent and dense waifu electrocution machine?
>>
>>563701439
>What made Gunvolt good is the same thing that caused an internal revolt,
Yes and no. I'm tired of only getting 5 lines of dialogue with an intriguing character before they're dead, and all the dialogue from the player character is telling them to go die. Then I go read or listen to one of the side stories, and they're such fun characters, and I'm thinking, wow, I wish I got to have more fun with this guy/gal before they died. Gunvolt 3 is superior in this respect, not because the characters are better (they aren't) but because they get to do a lot more. They don't feel like just quirky obstacles to quickly kill and regret what could have been. It was also the first Gunvolt where they showed teams interacting with each other. Outside of GV2's opening stage, you never see the enemy team members interacting with one another. Like even fucking Tenjian and Zonda don't speak to each other.

Nah, I liked the old way of doing things. Nobody sees the people they are about to kill as people until days after they done it if ever. The drama tracks were a perfect way to convey this. Remember Gunvolt was at it's core anime idealism vs real life brutalism. And brutalism always wins.

>Nah, I liked the old way of doing things. Nobody sees the people they are about to kill as people until days after they done it if ever.
Exactly. GV is a realistic portrayal of how a person in Gunvolt's dystopia would behave.
In Stratocombs, as soon as Elise transforms, Gunvolt transitions from sympathetic to annoyed and guarded. Xeno still shows concern for Elise, but Gunvolt cuts him off, because she's now an enemy. Even after the dominant personality reveals that it controls the weaker half, he still kills both of them.
In Carrera's fight, he realizes that his opponent is using a nonlethal fighting style (not reflected in gameplay), and acknowledges that he's not evil, but still moves to kill him. In the final mission of GV1, he says that even if asked, he will not show the enemy mercy. He will kill everyone he comes across.
In the Quinn sidestory, Gunvolt reveals he can use most of his skills and powers to non-lethally disable adepts (as he does in GV3), but chooses not to because any fight worth having should be to the death. If he shows mercy, even to those much weaker than him, they can come back, better adapted to fight him.
In GV2, he learns about Tenjian and Zonda's past, how fucked up it was and how their relationship mirror his and Joule's in many respects. He doesn't give much of a shit. After strizering her, he taunts a dying Zonda as she sobs for her lost utopia and dead brother, and he doesn't think anything more of her for the rest of the game afterward, at least until GV3 suddenly retcons this to be a deep enough trauma to cause him to swear off killing and for Serpentine's septima to pick up upon and use against him. But in GV2, it was just another dead adept to him, more hated than most for what she did to Joule, but he put it behind him.
That callousness towards life was what made Gunvolt and Copen unique. They weren't going to comfort their enemies, no matter how sympathetic they were. Their enemies were not human to them.

>Tenjian: It is surely some cruel fate that entwines us. Were you not content crushing our ideals the first time?
>GV: I have...no regrets!
>Tenjian: You truly beggar belief... Is that the face of a man with no regrets? Your regrets permeate your entire being, even moreso than before. Just how many young ladies' souls have you crushed? How much despair have you left in your wake to get to this point?
People been saying this and using the Tenjian regret illusion dialogue above as proof, but I read it as talking about Quinn? Why would GV care about Zonda. Quinn makes more sense. The first two illusions taunted GV about moving on from Quinn and Joule as well.

Could be Ouka, but Pantera makes more sense in that context. The prior line is about GV ending the dream of a safe place for adepts. The next line is a continuation of the former accusation. He crushed Pantera's dreams and soul. Quite literally if the "Dragon GV has Pantera spikes because he ate her Spirit" schizo theory is confirmed. It lines up neatly with her final lines as well:
>It's vanishing... our... paradise... Brother...!
Next, Tenjian probably wouldn't call Ouka a "young lady." For one, they're both about the same age. For another, she's a nonadept, and he's very racist.
>>563708174
Morb used it up as fuel to send GV to the past. Dealing with the fallout of GV's spilt Septima was what Epilogue ATEMS's plot was all about. It will also be the excuse for why Gunvolt is nerfed in the sequel.

Waifus, lore/setting, plot, community/dev drama; unless it's multiplayer/live service or has a modding community, that's what tends to get discussed.
Gameplay discussion by itself doesn't really sustain fan discussion. Look at FROM games. Lots of build autism, fun gameplay, but it wouldn't have a quarter of the discussion without the insane lore discussion/interpretation/fanon. MM lore only gets really interesting in the post-X games, but there hasn't been one in a very long time.
As for waifus, it's slim pickings. You have Roll in the classic games, and the navigators in X. For plot, most Mega Man games do not have strong plots, purposefully so. They can. I think Legends writing is very good. In general, it's better than Gunvolt's. You could say it's for kids, but that's the point. Legends, more than almost any game I can think of, felt like playing a good anime.
What MM games have is excellent gameplay, and that's all they need, but again, gameplay doesn't get discussed for very long. How many variations of "Magma Dragoon > Spark Mandrill" or "The jumping and shooting felt good" or "I liked the dash jumping mechanics" can you have. It's not even cinematic gameplay that watchers can fawn over, it's highly technical and fun for the player.
Gunvolt gets discussed because it's at that sweet spot where the lore is just nuts enough, the tone just depressing to bittersweet enough, the script just ambiguous enough (aka, characters don't usually say I am feeling _____, they will instead imply or talk around it), and the waifus just hot and crazy enough where people can get invested and have arguments about what is going on.

Looking at Inti Creates I kinda understand why Valve "can't count to three". I mean, most of the time Inti shouldn't even count to two! Because there's like 15% chance the sequel will become the best game in the series and 85% it will totally destroy it.
GV1 - okay, GV2 - great, GV3 - killed the entire story of the previous games (although gameplay is great).
CoM1 - good, CoM2 - repetitive mess you should replay like 5 times to complete.
BMZ1 - okay, BMZ2 - awesome, BMZ3 - half-baked shit (story is kinda good I guess).
iX1 - great, iX2 - garbage (both story and gameplay).
GG:DP - okay-ish, GG:SotD - unfinished mess (even countless patches didn't save it).

So what was I wrong about? Well, okay, maybe "half-baked shit" was not the best description for BMZ3. But it's much faster than describing repetitive robo-dungeons with the same robots, weird random dungeons, the most annoying platformer gimmicks (like reverted gravity and dark rooms) and endlessly respawning mutants, which now don't even make sense to kill. Plus, there's no guest characters. It feels like very rushed and unpolished game.
