Reader’s Question:
I have a question about Super Robot Wars 30. I’ve become a huge fan of Elgaim, but I noticed that Amandra, the weapons dealer, has been rejuvenated as True Poseidal. Does this happen in the anime as well, or is it just a game setting? Also, I noticed that
Lilith, who seems to be a fairy, resembles Cham from Dunbine in Super Robot Wars X. Is there any connection between them? Lastly, I’ve started enjoying Super Robot Wars and have been watching some old gameplay videos. I’m a bit unclear, but I think it was in Super Robot Wars 4 where Amuro’s Gundam is missing an arm. Is there a specific reason for that? In Super Robot Wars 30, it has both arms intact.
Exploring the Nuances of Super Robot Wars 30
So, I was chatting with a friend recently about our shared love for the Super Robot Wars series, and we stumbled upon some fascinating discussions surrounding the characters and their backstories. You know how it is when you dig deep into lore—there’s always something surprising hiding just beneath the surface. One of the standout moments in our conversation was about Amandra from Elgaim. My friend was curious about her transformation into True Poseidal and whether this twist was rooted in the anime or just a game-specific creation. I found it intriguing that Amandra is indeed True Poseidal in the anime, but it’s said that her youthful form is her true self, while she often disguises herself as Amandra. I mean, what a clever twist! I couldn’t help but chuckle at the idea of her playing dress-up. And here’s where it gets even more interesting: the Elgaim characters making their way to the solar system is all a game-original setting. Talk about a creative leap! Then we moved on to Lilith, who is reminiscent of Cham from Dunbine. My friend pointed out that this could just be a case of “fan service,” where creators sprinkle in familiar faces for the joy of long-time fans. However, it’s also fascinating to think about how there were discussions about connecting the two series in the planning stages. Imagine the possibilities! It’s like a glimpse into the minds of the creators, contemplating how they could intertwine these beloved universes. And then, we took a nostalgic turn, recalling some epic moments from Super Robot Wars 4. My friend mentioned how Amuro’s Gundam is famously shown missing an arm. As someone who appreciates both storytelling and visuals in gaming, I found it compelling that this scenario stems from the original anime, where a climactic battle leads to Amuro losing his arm and part of his head. It’s often referred to as the “last shooting” scene, a moment that resonates with so many fans. Yet, in the context of Super Robot Wars 30, Amuro’s Gundam is back to full strength, which led us to ponder how different games choose to reinterpret iconic scenes. As we dissected these moments, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the hours I’d spent with a bag of snacks, glued to the screen, absorbed in the intricate narratives and battles. Sometimes, I would arrive at a friend’s place a tad too early, just to catch a few extra moments of gameplay before everyone else showed up. Those were golden times filled with laughter, snacks, and the thrill of discovering something new. So, what about you? Have you had any memorable experiences while diving into the world of Super Robot Wars or any other beloved series? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips you might have about the game.
