Take everything good about Original Generations on the PS2 and just multiply fucking everything tenfold. The series makes the massive jump to the PS3 in quite possibly the flashiest way imaginable, breaking through with a shit ton of beams, bullets, missiles, energy balls, sword slashes, about five unique cut-ins, and a dynamic kill to top it all off. The already solid gameplay systems of the PS2 OG titles are refined even further, with new features such as ability parts and pre-deployment pair sorting allowing you to actually field most of your roster - a problem that was quite apparent in the later stages of the PS2 games, where you'd get way too many units with extremely limited deployment slots. It goes without saying that the animations are the best they've ever been, this game still continues to be the absolute peak of the series in terms of choreography and style. Even outside of battle, the presentation in this game just levels up completely, with dynamically animated map events and CGs. The music fucking bangs too, the only real disappointment is every track that returns from the PS2 games are ported as they are - not that they're bad, they're in fact very, very, good. It'd just be nice to hear a new take on some of the same exact songs we've been hearing the past 15 years. What really impresses me the most though is just how much goddamn content and story they've managed to pack into the game - Alpha 2, MX, D, EX, 4/F/Final, Real Robot Regiment, a bit of Alpha 3, and even completely new original OGs as if they couldn't jam more shit into this. The stakes are higher than ever, everything's going to shit, the fucking Earth disappears, a fucking eldritch horror popped out of the cross-gate, everything is fucking exploding and dear fucking lord it could not be anymore hype. This game just fucking blows every expectation for the series' PS3 debut out of the water, it's just a shame nothing else has quite come close to it ever since. Best fucking SRW ever. それも私だ.
