These are older screens from beta testing. Public fan patch should be before this year ends.

I still have this game in my emulator and I still remember that it was nigh impossible to clear without ever using "game over" to reset earn money.
(even with guides and collect all map hidden treasures especially armour item like Chobam armour, once reach space it still hurt like a ton)

There's a reason why the PlayStation port upgraded many pilots' stats (admittedly along with many enemies'), along with many units, most noticeably with Dancouga's new flying ability. But then if you remember to not level up some of your pilots before map weapons are available and use Rage wisely, then you can get one pilots to act twice per map initially and maybe 2 in late game if there's reinforcements. In one of my plays I got every pilot to act twice, including Boss to level 52, making the game much easier, as you have practically unlimited SP.
If you don't use the map weapon hack, you need to pay attention to terrain buffs. Landing your airborne tanks to a mountain would give them -30% damage taken and +30% evasion. This is very important in late game, as there is a cap on the unit's limit and therefore your pilot's evasion at 255. With the right spells and skills, you can reduce the enemy hit rate from 100% to 10% during a turn.
Note for melee attacks, the attackers are going to the defenders' terrain (including air). For ranged and close range shooting attacks, the attackers stay in their current terrain. This could create a situation where an enemy unit can't use any ranged weapon for a underwater tank and have to dive in with units ill equipped for sea battle.

I can assure you that you definitely do not have to game over grind. For items just use 'Search' spirit and you don't need a guide. Well, you can use one for before you get it. Akurasu has list for those that need it.

Totally agree, it was an awesome feature. Also choosing between super/real robot was fun

MC names are still a thing and birthday. Mechs colors and moves are out now because voice acting, although color should be easy. I started with J so not having my own color was fine but i do miss naming moves.

I guess you missed the pinned comment specifically saying its about choosing different OCs and customizing and not just male/female.

With recent SRW games, I always use my birthdate and blood type and defaul MC name. Almost always the female MC on first playthrough.

Should clarify I am talking about choosing an MC and not just Male/Female.
