Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier is an for the released in May 2008. Although this does not take place in the same universe as the games, it is nonetheless.The 'Endless Frontier' is a collection of multiple worlds connected by dimensional portals known as 'Cross Gates'. In one of these worlds, and Haken Browning and his Aschen Brodel explore the ruins of the crashed spaceship Schlafen Celeste, one they were both found in when Haken was just a baby. Inside they find, much to their surprise, a rather young woman with an and a sleeping in the crew's quarters. Turns out she's Kaguya Nanbu, of one of the Frontier's worlds. Discovering there's a reward for her safe return, the pair decide to accompany her home. Since this is roughly the first ten minutes of the game, things naturally start to snowball from there: strange 'Mild Kiel' crystals start sprouting up all over the Endless Frontier and some very familiar-looking robots connected with a war that happened ten years ago have reappeared again.
Secrets, conspiracies, spankings, and lots and lots of boob jokes await. Along the way, the group run into a number of travelers from beyond the Endless Frontier: Reiji Arisu, a law enforcement agent of 'Shinra' from Earth, his partner Xiaomu (whom some may remember from ), and KOS-MOS, a from. Unfortunately, their problems have tagged along, too.Endless Frontier uses a system similar to to Namco X Capcom where orders are issued via instead of the usual system interface typical to Eastern RPGs.
Attacks can be chained into with one another to ensure an enemy cannot get a bead on the party when it's their turn to attack, allowing long attack combinations. Players can also issue a set of new commands during these attack strings, such as allowing the next party character to continue the combo, request assistance from characters placed in reserve or executing an ' to maximize damage and achieve bonuses post-battle. Like its, do appear in the game, though they take a back role, appearing around compared to their, and are only available as an assist. A sequel called Endless Frontier EXCEED was released in February 2010 on the same platform, with a somewhat wider focus: the 'Fairies' (really, ) from the kingdom of 'Elfetale' fled the Endless Frontier during the war and ended up spending the next ten years co-existing with the '. When a Shura fortress (coincidentally the one the Fairies are mostly living in) ends up getting tossed into the Frontier, Elven Princess Neige Hausen sets out to find out what's going on.
Accompanying her is young Shura warrior Aledy Naash, who has the additional job of tracking down a Shura artifact that decided to step off its pedestal and take a walk, particularly before their rivals find it first. Meanwhile, the Endless Frontier is abuzz regarding the reappearance of Mild Kiel crystals, alongside new entities with their own ambitions. To make matters worse, more are on the move again, with their own schemes. However, a few individuals from beyond the Endless Frontier have made their way into the setting.Understandably, EXCEED features an expanded cast. In addition to new faces, the entire cast of the previous game returns, including Reiji, Xiaomu, and KOS-MOS (who also brings along this time). EXCEED even pulls in and from the main Original Generation installments, and Mark Hunter, a character from an obscure Banpresto called Gaia Saver. The combat system is also refined, doing away certain and easing game-play to fit the much wider selection of characters.While the first game was localized and released in April 2009, for EXCEED.
However, Haken and Kaguya reappear in, a to Namco X Capcom, along with Reiji, Xiaomu, KOS-MOS and surprisingly, from the Original Generation series. Bringing this full circle, in August 2016, Haken and Aschen appear in Original Generation The Moon Dwellers, using of the Phantom and Haken's called the 'Gespenst Haken'.Tropes regarding Endless Frontier and multiple characters include:.: Any decent physics engine would render Kaguya immobile (or at least a hunchback) and if she could move, she'd A) overbalance a lot, and B) have to put her dress back on after every fight (hmm.). It also wouldn't have allowed the acrobatics and enemy tossing the party can do.: In EXCEED, up to four merchants/shop owners join the party. Naturally, the player isn't given freebies.: A joke made at Dorothy Mistral's expense.
Reiji comments on how there's literally no conversation that isn't laced drowning with innuendo.: Wahrschein Lichkeit; interestingly, the Wahrschein Lichkeit's a fragment of the corpse of the, the eternal guardian of the universe who existed since the beginning of time. In Original Generation 2, when questioned by the heroes, Neue Regisseur vehemently denied being God.
Granted, the Neue Regisseur hadn't created any universes at the time. Wahrschein Lichkeit was being quite literal.: A lot of details regarding the story can only be found in the Original Generation main series. Similarly, most of the information regarding Reiji's pursuit of Saya and ' hate for KOS-MOS is glossed over. Namco X Capcom and are the games to learn the details.: Residents of Kagura Amahara call all robots. Princess Suzuka controls her Jyaki-GUN-Oh like a marionette through strings attached to her. In EXCEED, the Shura refer to their mecha as 'Rasetsu-Ki'.: Ezel Granada uses one, and proves very effective with it.
In the first game, decapitated skeleton carry their skulls in one hand and an axe in the other.: Kaguya's and Xiaomu's multiple ponytails. In actuality, the latter's are actually her tails.: Though none of the characters are very far down the scale, whenever anyone suggests doing anything excessive, it gets lampshaded.: were simply Saya's in Namco X Capcom. Here, they become supporting antagonists each with a distinct personality.
This would carry over into Project X Zone.: Aside from the Wilkurkind's ruins, players cannot explore the aquatic realm of Varna Kanai.: Saya, the villainess from Namco X Capcom who was rather in that game, returns in Endless Frontier. Even she doesn't know why she's back.: When a character launches their, their overrides the current track.: Being an, this is standard.: In regards to EXCEED, where did all our Z.O.
Swords and Monolith Armor from the first game go? Also applies to the whereabouts of the Alt Eisen Nacht and Weiss Ritter Abend.: By proxy, Reiji and Xiaomu since Namco X Capcom; by the end of the first game, Haken and Kaguya ascend to this. Uniquely in EXCEED, Axel and are treated as a single unit during combat and always attack together.: There's everywhere, on nearly everything.: The localization only translates the script; voice-acting is left untouched, and without captions, thus players either need a grasp of Japanese or dig into their to understand the victory quotes and start-of-battle banter.: Because of scripted boss fights and a 100% flee rate from, the games can potentially feel like this. 'We've worked too hard to suffer lame ironic deaths like being killed in a cemetery!' .: Virtually everyone lays the snark on thick as hell, but Aschen's primary personality programs deadpan to an art form.: Surprisingly, it's Reiji.
Not because he becomes weaker as the game goes on, far from it; it's because of the Forced Evasion mechanic. Miss one attack, or have this go off and any damage he pulls off is rendered null. Which is why most people combine him with Haken by the time the latter gets Rampage Specter.: Endlessly invoked (no pun intended). 'Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself.'
.: Followed by triple and quadruple entendres, and sometimes just plain innuendo and flat-out propositioning. Any dialogue will feature one eventually.: Inverted due to being when. The only person to so much as blink is Kaguya. Subverted anyways since.: KOS-MOS with her signature dual and Reiji with his and and revolver and shotgun. Xiaomu also uses two pistols, and Haken will sometimes fire his and together. Subverted in regards to Reiji: despite having two blades, he rarely uses both at the same time (mostly because he carries his weapon rack in one hand).
Saya has three katanas, but will never use two at any given moment, due to her being an style focusing on (quick-draw). Played straight in EXCEED for Reiji, where several of his attacks use both swords in rapid succession, where one attack has him rapidly dual-wielding them.: Any boss that isn't a.: Averted; compared to the main series, there's none in this.: Axel and Alfimi, upon arriving in the Endless Frontier. In fact, Axel shifts into his 'Ahoseru' persona from. /: EXCEED that almost all villains from the original become supporting characters in the sequel. Saya even performs the Jyuu no Kata Kiwame with Reiji and Xiaomu.: And, of course, it's. Aschen: 'It appears there are more princesses than countries in this world.'
.: Subverted in EXCEED, where two areas are frozen over and the girls (namely, Kaguya and Neige) immediately start complaining about the cold.: See the for details. A more direct example are Reiji and Xiaomu being expies of of. In fact, multiple multiple, and half the soundtrack are all derived from elements of the franchise.: Endless Frontier pretty much makes up for the lowered amount of both in traditional SRWs.
Also lampshaded mercilessly.: Justified - only two or three characters actually get something different than what they're using for weapons; for the others, it's an ammo or targeting chip upgrade. Anne: 'Heh heh. Just so you know, I haven't even reached my full potential yet!' TROPER GENERAL'S NOTE: Anne's already pushing a North American DD-cup/Eurasian F-cupSuzuka: 'What!? I don't believe it!' Xiaomu: 'OK, that's crossing the line from titillating to just plain creepy.' .
Put it simply, there are only two breast sizes in the games: large and flat. BOTH are played for more jokes than you can imagine and a boob joke will be stuck into any conversation possible by misinterpretation or snarking. Hell, the animated opening for EXCEED has one bit where Xiaomu's examining herself and leering at the chests of the other girls.: From a story standpoint, the Endless Frontier would not exist were it not for the events in the main series to occur.: The of the first game mumbles about motives and being responsible for the state of the world, then attacks the heroes when they ask for elaboration. After winning, the heroes inexplicably appear in their home dimensions, of which the Endless Frontier has now returned to being a singular world, with the crossover characters having disappeared and supposedly returned to their respective dimensions.
Rather than trying to figure out what just happened, the cast (and seemingly the inhabitants) writes it off as a victory, but goes back to bickering with each other.: Gratuitiously; Kaguya's has a very noticeable bounce, and her battle sprite has one during her 'Hourai no Eda' attack. Tge only character without bouncing betties is.
In combat for EXCEED, while awaiting commands, any female character who isn't flat will bounce.,: The Jyaki-GUN-Oh carries eight gatling guns, while the Alt Eisen Nacht gets a small mention with a right-arm mounted five-barreled gatling gun. Naturally, KOS-MOS and T-elos can call out gatling guns from their.: and are most prominent, especially when the voice acting is untranslated for the localization. Haken uses some to fit his cowboy theme.,: Haken, Reiji and Xiaomu.: Marion Sumii and Dorothy.: Shuten and Suzuka.: Subverted; the present are actually. The cast even remarks they'd be crushed by a 20-meter, not that they're aware most of those regularly clear double that height.: The characters make lots them.: KOS-MOS, T-elos and Dorothy; what's wierd about the latter is unlike the former two, since they have the technology to perform this trope, Dorothy hides literal bombs under her dress.: The team consists of 2 guys and 5 girls; no antagonist group is all-male oriented. EXCEED bucks the trend by adding more males to the party (Aledy, Katze, Ezel, Axel and Kouta). Still, by endgame, the girls outnumber the guys in the main group.
with Kaguya's ', which would have been translated as 'Type-5 Colossal Blade' if they hadn't chosen to leave everything about her in its original Japanese. Supplement on the Goshiki Zankantou: the kanji translates to 'Protection Type Crown Cleaving Sword', rather than the normal 'Type-# Ship Cleaving Sword'. Atlus translated the family name of a missing royal family as 'Howzen', when it's most likely 'Hausen', after of Original Generation. Made more apparent with Neige Hausen in EXCEED, a princess from Elfetale now returning to the Endless Frontier.: Pete basically amounts to a 'successful Original Generation ' - he forces Cardia to blow herself up with Code: ATA; in other words, he actually succeeds.: Every Agrado Heim member.:.: KOS-MOS' 'DRAGON TOOTH' and Henne's 'Roche Saber', the latter being a to the same named weapon for in the main series.:.: Significantly more comedy-oriented than the rest of SRW.: EXCEED drop tons of characters in the party. The support characters manage to.
Especially notable when watching EXCEED gameplay videos revealing some really crazy chains of support combos., for instance, doesn't use any of the villains and leaves out several of the main heroes (old and new entrants), but it's still the 'Energizer Bunny' combo: it just keeps going and going and. By the end of EXCEED, the main party has 15 females, 7 males and 6 mecha. Done perfectly, it's possible to chain attacks lasting 12 Support Attacks (4 Assists plus another 4 from a specific Spirit Command and 4 Support Attacks), 20 attacks from the vanguards and an Overdrive to finish.: Only for enemies in the first game - they can guard and can use Forced Evasion. EXCEED gives the player the option to also use the latter.: Kaguya and Neige.: Xiaomu usually accuses and teases Reiji as one. While this can be seen as a maternal form of teasing, she kind of has a point. Looks like you'll be a kid forever then, Mr.: When Xiaomu learns Neige's 117 years-old and Aledy's 17, she teasingly consoles her that it'll somehow work out.
Might also apply to Xiaomu and Reiji, if the wind blows that way.: Zeit Krokodil and Giant Marquis.: Xiaomu plays it straight in her new Overdrive for EXCEED, effectively turning her into a. Neige wears the outfit, but averts it, except in one post-battle banter, Aschen in Code: DTD starts berating Neige, leading her to 'beg for forgiveness' and addressing Aschen as 'my master'.: Asstons.: Pretty much everyone. In the official guide for the first game (Japanese-only), there's a list of nicknames for each character.
Kaguya has at least twenty, all of them reference either her, status as a princess, or both.: Suzuka bursts into a rather impressive one at random moments, mostly while mowing down targets with her. Also applicable to Neige in EXCEED.: There are three types of ogres in the Endless Frontier - the 'Master Ogre', 'Studious Ogre' and 'Nerdious Ogre'. All three wear and carry a magic tome. They're hungry for knowledge!.: Suzuka takes this role until Reiji joins the party.:; while a variety of elves come into play at various points, from random encounters featuring shotgun-toting elven girls and elven with to Marion and Dorothy to EXCEED female protagonist Neige, none of them are your typical Earth-attuned elitist variety.
The Wild and Wood elves? Instead of 'Earth-attuned,' 'Magical-attuned' would be more appropriate.: Since the basic attacks are a that can do upwards of 5,000 HP per character, basic enemies here would be in any other game. However,.: Haken seems to keep the group in a hyperspace arsenal. In EXCEED, Aschen for a short while and Aledy for the rest of the game invoke this.: The Cross Gates, until the defeat of the first game's.: The whole cast counts as this.: Nearly any character, mook or villain who doesn't wield a weapon.: The four male protagonists are a cop, a cowboy, and two badass martial artists.
The females are a foxgirl, a demon-girl, two, and a pair of busty princesses for good measure. And to top if off, they got a half-dozen armored assault mecha for sidekicks.: What Otone and use.: Suzuka and Xiaomu. Despite her look, Neige's bio indicates she's 117 years-old.: Expect to fight most bosses at least twice throughout each game.: Aside from Aschen and KOS-MOS, Cardia and T-ELOS, respectively.: Despite lacking, both games run on this like its home series.: Tons -, ',. Coupled with, there's just far too many to list, but this in EXCEED. And at one point, Aschen calls Kaguya and Suzuka '.
In EXCEED, apparently KOS-MOS has gotten ahold of one of Jr's gun techs and one of Shion's from Xenosaga Episode I. There's one for, of all things. In Formido Heim for the first game, Koma (re)introduces herself as '?. Reiji is a walking, talking, to Rom Stoll.: Not only are some attacks just repeated hits with the same weapon, but the player can force this by editing the command roster for the 5 moves a character can use with 100% of their command bar.: Normally, Aschen's the resident to Haken's playfulness, but once that is removed or she overheats, she takes a level in that would make Excellen proud.
KOS-MOS also has this, though it's much more subtle: she goes from sharp monotone to a soft, normal voice that's triggered randomly during the final hits of her Overdrive. Some of her pre-/post-battle quotes uses this tone of voice, too.: The ending of the first game. All Haken had to do was travel through a few worlds, fight hordes of mercenaries, ogres, mutants and whatnot, face a ton of bosses a lot of times each and save the Endless Frontier from an. Lampshaded by Haken right before the final dungeon. '.Of course I'm doing it to get the girl! The world can bite me.'
.: EXCEED ends with a final shot of Neige embracing Aledy.: Notably Kaguya, but Aschen and KOS-MOS, upon entering their Overdrive, shed their clothing. Neige in EXCEED also counts. Played with: in EXCEED, there's a section of the world covered in ice due to the local leader being. As the underdressed Kaguya and Neige start complaining about the cold.: Used and abused frequently.: Party members in the back row can do this.
Essentially, each character has a Support Attack that can only be triggered when they're currently not in the front row. Furthermore, each support-only character in EXCEED comes with a preset chance of activating a skill or Spirit Command for the party member they're junctioned to, which also stacks with each members' abilities and Spirit Commands.: Fairy tales, especially the one's collected by.: Oddly turned into at the end of the first game.
The heroes beat the, and they engage in the following conversation. Xiaomu: 'And because you deserved a good old fashioned ass kicking!' .: Justified - the first game grants more experience if you finish an opponent off with a Support Attack or an Overdrive.
EXCEED awards bonus experience for an Overdrive finish depending on whether you destroyed one or more than one enemies at the end of battle, but a 'Support Finish' (where a partner assigned to a front row fighter in the party achieves the final hit) nets additional gold, while an 'Assist Finish' (a non-support only party member in the back row) fills the Frontier Gauge up. The latter's noteworthy as EXCEED allows the gauge to carry over for every fight.
You also gain back a% of your SP equal to 1/10th of the maximum number of combo hits you did in that battle, meaning you can use Spirit Commands a lot more often than in the first game if you're good at juggling enemies.: The Thrudgelmir Svaiser in EXCEED gets one. Funny enough, it doubles as another, since the Thrudgelmir uses a as its primary weapon, with a drill on its head; the Svaiser has a blade mounted to its head, with a drill the main weapon.: T-elos; if you're lucky, you can catch a glimpse during her.
