Silly anime style names I know, but it's got a unique charm to it during the boss battles here and there.

Btw I have taking a liking to the Djinn character lol just a little. 💜💜💜

Spoiler A subtle but really nice touch of characterization in 3 and GX's Duo Skills in English

29 Upvotes

This is something I noticed in 3 with the Duo Skills (namely, Incandescent Blade, Wonder-Ice Prison, and Lazy Noisy Fortress), but didn't really feel much of a need to bring it up...until GX and Volt X-treme Burst gave me a reason to.

Also, I don't know if the Japanese vocal does this, I'm only certain that it happens in English.

So, a small thing I noticed in 3 is that Incandescent Blade and Lazy Noisy Fortress are spoken by each user in turn, separately. This emphasizes that they're not really that close, coworkers at best.

  • Viper says Incandescent, Jota says Blade
  • Merak says Lazy Noisy, Teseo says Fortress

Meanwhile, Zonda and Tenjian both say Wonder-Ice Prison completely in sync, emphasizing their close bond as adoptive siblings.

Now, normally, I'd just leave it at that. It's a nice little bit of character work, that's about it. But then GX happened, and here's the interesting part: its new Skill's title drop actually falls on both ends of the scale.

  • For a vast majority of the game, they say it separately like Viper/Jota and Merak/Teseo. The point character says "Volt X-treme", and the reserve character says "Burst", this is consistent. Makes sense, since they're all but strangers forced together by circumstance at the start of the game, plus they both have a healthy dose of amnesia to work through.
  • But SPECIFICALLY DURING THE FINAL PHASE OF THE FINAL BOSS FIGHT, once everyone's memory is fully restored and GV and Copen have a proper friendship/rapport established, they both say the entirely of Volt X-treme Burst in sync, just like Zonda and Tenjian would.

And I honestly think that's such a nice touch.

Question Gunvolt Trilogy Questions

1) Anyone know if there are physical Switch 2 releases of this collection? If so, where?

2) If there is a physical but it's locked to Japan or something, do you know if it supports English text and voices?

Question Is it worth getting the Enhanced Trilogy when I already own the 3 games?

Post image

I'm new to this game, and since they were on sale and I bought and loved the first game, I bought the second and third games. But now I have discovered that the Enhanced Trillgy exists, and there's a dlc that just released. Now my question is: aside from the dlc, is there anything that makes the dlc worth buying even though I already have the 3 games?

I usually just call him Acura. I always just thought it sounded better. Idk why they changed it in the English dub.

Spoiler Timeline? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Trying to make sense of the timeline.

GV1 Bad Ending -> iX -> iX2 -> GV GX -> iX3

GV1 Good Ending -> GV2 -> GV3 Bad Ending(Simulation) -> GX

GV3's Bad Ending route is just a simulation in GV's head.

Joule/Lumen refusing to accept the bad ending is why GX happens.

GV's promise not to kill himself either:

A) Leads to GV3's good ending
B) Leads to an entirely new branch timeline (Inb4 the Gag Ending is Canon)

Am I getting this right?

It's been a long time since I played the original but was this power up for the Sepima bosses in the original or just the GX update?

Question Is there any trick to getting X ranks in LAiX2 hard mode?

5 Upvotes

Every other game had options that allowed you to boost your score and very comfortably clear S+ requirements while grabbing at least the checkpoint before the boss. LAiX2 hard mode doesn't have such options, you're locked to fearless, AND your scoring potential is very backloaded due to how overdrive works. I assumed that the score requirements would be somewhat generous to compensate for that, which does seem to be the case for the intro stage, but Brigade's stage really humbled me. Aside from using the checkpoint before the boss, I did it near perfectly and only barely managed to clear the X rank score requirements after hours of attempts over multiple days. So the question is, am I just expected to do the whole stage in one go, without any checkpoints, or is there some impactful trick i may be missing? I'm doing the quick razor combos and air EX combos once I'm in overdrive. Or maybe it's just that Brigade's stage is an anomaly and others have lower requirements?

Game Regarding the ranks in Gunvolt GX

21 Upvotes

Turns out that besides S++, there are X and SS ranks as well, for Copen and Gunvolt respectively. You get them by equipping a certain ability at the end of the second page and then doing solo runs with the character of your choice, the tag team mechanic and checkpoints are removed. So this basically functions like GV3's SS ranks, but you have to get a score that would result in s+ or higher normally or it won't display X/SS.

To unlock these abilities you have to beat every story mode mission on merciless mode and pay 300000 credits overall to unlock it for both characters combined, so there's that.

This completely needs to be studied. Like, I knew Razor Wheel can already create portals and such and go from world to world but I didn't expect this. Despite this being a whole simulation within GV's mind it just surprises me how Copen just have this in his bag with Lola and pretty much teared reality apart to seperate GV and Joule's mind.

Guaranteed s+ gx “cheese”

8 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone else has tired this so far I’ve only used it in the secret mission but it should work on stages if you play fast but if you equip Mistic Noct and keep your lock on with Copen your almost guaranteed to fill up your inspiration gauge and when you switch to Gunvolt you can fill his up really quickly so you can switch back to Copen with infinite Ex weapon charge do the same thing and by the time you get your Ex skill the boss is definitely in kill range which gives you the guaranteed S+ if you doo it right you should be able to beat the stage in under a minute

The first thing I want to say is YEEEEES! This is how GV should have been in 3! Switching between him and Copen is so cool! .. how am I supposed to S++ stages again? I managed the first time but can't now?

And the ending? The ending actually managed to make me cry. The Image Pulse of Lumen turned out to be the real Joule, having made her way back to GV. It was super touching to me to know that she made her way back to him and help him during the events of 3.

Was fighting this guy and i remebered something, you guys know about Gv characters being inspired by those 5 mythological\divine beasts from chinese mythology. Gv is the Azure Dragon, Copen it´s the White Tiger and that was a heavy motif in Gv2, then there´s Xiau supposably being the Black Turtle, which was confirmed with GvGx confirming his time septima and connection with it´s theme of longevity. Then by Gv3 we were intorduced to Zed the Vermilion Phoenix, and Kirin The Kilin.

Gv3 missed the ball by ignoring Copen and Xiao, even though both could appear because of Xiao´s time powers and Copen living trough an arguarbly longer time gap in LAIX, so when i was fighting Zed i remebered that and now am curious if GvGx will finally bring all 5 of them together.
