Fans of the SRW series (and Shin megami Tensei series for that matter) Will be happy with this recent leak about some up and coming Atlus releases. One of them is Super Robot Taisen OG: Endless Frontier. I'm ecstatic, cause this raises the chances of finally seeing SRW OGS over here!

Still, weird we're getting this and not the PS2 one.
I'm not sure that a DS game really implies anything about a PS2 game at this point, although it does mean that Bandai-Namco isn't cocooning itself from other 3rd-party publishers after their merger.

Eternal Poison and Ar Tonelico II's localizations pretty much eased my fears about that.
So that means they can let Capcom bring over NxC now, right?
(I won't hold my breath)
I hope this uses NxC's battle system along with its protagonists.
The best.
I doubt how well this does will have any effect on OGs coming over here.

It's not really. It's basically a stripped down version of Silmeria's combat. So long as you have AP (CP? Whatever it was) you can use the next move available, or call in a supporter, or cancel that character's turn to move immediately into the next one's (Assuming the enemy's not next). Once a juggle starts, you have to keep them in the air to keep the combo going. Lots of enemies have a 'shield' that takes a certain number of consecutive hits to break before you can start the juggle for actual damage. You also build up a special meter as you juggle to use super moves. Using one of their non-basic attacks or an item counts as the character's turn and it's over.
What could be bad about that?
Well, close enough.
Lots of gameplay footage.
Looks fun to me.
Untrue. Using most items and special moves takes up COM, which is the metric that determines how many moves a character can make per phase. It doesn't just end the turn.

You know that Namco X Capcom sucks, right?
The combat was fun. Also, Yuzo Koshiro music.
We might not be able to count out the OG cast from Endless Frontier, since (as seen in the PV linked above)
Still nice to see they're bringing it over though. Good thing I decided to pass on importing it.
I really hope that's not true.
This is why I want OG3 to be on the DS, as such would likely mean no voice acting, and no voice acting would make it cheaper and thus, more feasible for Atlus to bring stateside. I am the pragmatic sort.
It looks like this game has a ton of voice acting. Granted, Nintendo could care less, so either way, win.
It's not in this case.
I gotta be straight up with you guys as someone who actually owns this crapfest. OG Saga is awful. The breasts are, depressingly, the only thing it has going for it. Nothing fits. The story is bad. The combat is NxC but worse and without recognizable characters to bail it out. Outside of battle it looks like a cell phone game. It's Bad. Capital B Bad.
It is!
And someone on the Atlus MB just called this BS, so I don't know what to believe.
A fair point. I was mainly going by W and, by the looks of the preview, K, as a judge of whether future SRW game for the DS would have voice acting or not. And my desire for a lovely modern-day remake of LoE still stands.
It's a fairly simple equation.
- SCEA won't let you release a PS2 game with a certain amount of voice without an english dub.
- Atlus is too good of a company to go the Chaos Wars route
- The price of hiring that many voice actors is completely not worth how niche a game like OGs would be.
Since Atlus isn't saying, speculation is still just speculation, no matter where you find it.
edit: ...says the company shill. Ahahaha!

A good counter point was raised:
Yakuza 2. No dubbed VA.
Of course, this late in the PS2's lifespan, maybe SCEA just don't care anymore.
Also, Atlus might be denying that SCEA cockblocked them on the PS2 OG games so as to not burn any bridges with Sony.
Yakuza 2 is also not an RPG as voice heavy or lengthy as your Personas or your Chaos Wars or your OGses. There appears to be an actual cut-off for when SCEA forces you to get a dub but hell if anyone outside of the industry knows what it is.
And again, this is why I want Banpresto to actually make OG3 already, and ideally put it on the DS, so that there won't be any need to worry about SCEA schenanigans preventing Atlus from bringing it stateside.
Because bland copycat characters who exist only to spout exposition and catch phrases are all the rage!
Seriously without actual anime characters to play off of the originals aren't that great.
The writing for OGs is pretty painful too. With regular games at least they borrow from the scripts and are forced to use a pretty varied cast. With OG, it just gets so samey so quickly
Mugen Frontier has been pretty slammed by all major publications. But look, if people here actually say they LIKE Capcom X Namco though... well, if they like kuso games I'm not going to tell them to steer clear of it.
Besides, Excellen is awesome.
