Battle Destiny on vita covers all seed, MSV included.

Thank god for region free, importing this shit too, when it releases.

derp

So, there's all of this sudden talk of the last (two?) episodes being substantially longer than their predecessors. No official word yet; take this with alot of salt.

Unicorn PS3 game manual scans; MS profiles translated/commented on by Mark Simmons (works in an official capacity on pretty much all English Gundam dubs):

Spoiler: show

Episode 5 preview video is delayed; don't know for how long/until when.

**Edelweiss** · 2012-03-19 16:38

Maybe not totally bump-worthy, but Nanai Miguel (CDA, CCA, namely) is apparently going to make an appearance in Episode 5.

She retroactively has a decade-plus long relationship with Char (was not always romantic, until his disappearance during Z-ZZ) via Char's Deleted Affair; and is/was the director of the Neo-Zeon Newtype labs (and supposedly had a hand in the psychoframe development process) as recently as Char's Counterattack.

Take it with a grain of salt; no real evidence to support the rumor yet (though it theoretically would be a bridge to who Full Frontal is, decisively). If they're bringing her back for an appearance of some kind, it may very well be involved in the half-rumor, half-hinted identity of FF that was put out there by the staff some time ago with regards to changes in the forthcoming story. Again however, grain(s) of salt.

The preview video is tenatively scheduled for the first week of April (unless there is another delay). I think we're supposed to also get some information in a week-ish or so (I don't really know what... MS announcements?); but it's reasonable to suggest that any really substantial stuff will be held off until next month (expect something on April 1st, for maxiumum trolling).

Edit: Very high probability the original Argama (as in the class namesake) will appear too; it was in Karaba's hands after Judau and the Gundam Team returned to space in ZZ. Unless it was scrapped (no mention of such a thing, ever, in any side material/books), it probably underwent refitting like the Nahel Argama did. Should it appear, maybe we'll get clarification about the long unseen 4th Londo Bell fleet. Author Fukui regretted not including it in the novels..

Edit 2: Also, one more rumor is that Addis (the nice guy Asshimar pilot from the Char speech at Dakar/battle in Z) will appear in UC ACE#4 as an Anksha pilot, in a short story that focuses on new/"new" MS from the current episode. He was never really decisively shown to be dead; although Jerid's assholery and the last shot of him, unconcious/"dead" implies something to this effect. Addis is apparently also a member of Londo Bell now (i'm sure partly out of the guilt he had from being in the Titans; but also because he honestly is just a good person too..).

First promotional commercial with around a minute or so of footage, and the Ep. 5 song, this weekend.

@The above pic:
That's a Base Jabber sub-flight system from CCA (I think, white markings are the telltale part). Or that Garuda's underside is really substantially refitted. Angle makes it seem....kinda "large". Probably a Base Jabber though.

My body is not ready.

Song for Ep.5 is unexpected and enjoyable.

Seems they're definitely going back to space near the end... so probably going to see the General Revil in the closing credits. At least that seems like a good way to end it.

Also, that's definitely the Federation Base Jabber from Zeta (the mid-0080s model of sled). If you saw Zeta or ZZ, you'll probably remember them.

So i've been seeing some moonrune discussion about some upcoming information being released on Gundam.Info in the first few days in April. I figured I should just drop this here now, since i'll be away for afew days and the thread regulars may miss out on anything new and exciting.

I'm positive it'll show up on the usual English Gundam sites though (although it can easily slip by, as some things have in the past) if it's got pictures/is a big deal. I think its UC-related, but they also mention AGE and SEED too... so it is likely nothing too big.

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-03-30 20:16

It's old, but I like it.

**Edelweiss** · 2012-03-31 18:23

So, I guess there was a tweet on the UC Twitter (that I can't find now..) but anyway, it had a link to the video profile of the original Barzam.

I guess its their way of saying they didn't forget about it for Ep. 5? I know my wallet sure hasn't forgotten (make it rain MG Barzam and Refined Barzam). Someone I talked to said there was a mention about a GM III in the tweet too; this is probably just referencing the whole Gundam Mk. II -> Barzam and GM III lineage thing.

Episode 5 completed as of yesterday.

Second PV will be available from mid April, and the first 6 minutes will air during Golden Week (roughly late April, early May).

Ep.5 introduces 13 new songs in the first disc of its OST; Disc 2 is live versions of previous songs.

And the Banshee's logo is no longer the same Unicorn/Vist Foundation crest; it is now a roaring lion's head stylized in a similar fashion.
