Archive Updated!

I completely forgot to share the Gunvolt series review from my initial streams of GV3. Here it is!

I'm not someone who normally reviews or rates games, but I felt that with the end of the GV3 streams I should put out my feelings completely for the full series as well as each game in particular. The Gunvolt franchise is a very impressive 9.5/10. I will always recommend it to people, but it's not something I feel needs to be required play for everyone.

On that note, with franchises, a perfect 10 is "Everyone should be required to play at least one game in this during their entire life", but with games a perfect 10 is more on the scale of how likely I am to immediately suggest someone try it out as well as how much fun I had with the game. I should have made that clear in the video and I apologize for not doing so.

Gunvolt Series Review is now live on the archive channel.

I remember I found this post about how Tumblr isn’t the fandom site because there are bad hot takes. However as a Gunvolt fan, I don’t see it. So far Tumblr has much more reasonable Gunvolt 3 takes than a large chunk of Gunvolt Twitter. It’s like people actually fucking read and pay attention to the story here for the most part.

Look all I am saying is that if the “worst” Tumblr take I have found so far is “I wished Gunvolt 3 was more connected to what was happening in Gunvolt 2,” then Gunvolt Tumblr is fineeeeeeeeeeeeee.

it's early in the morning, i was bored, so i made two tierlists

this one lists my opinions of the characters

(thank god the lola person, the kohaku person, and the null person aren't on tumblr. if i posted this on twitter they'd team up to fucking murder me lmao. the dacite person might be fine with me but i don't wanna test it)

this one just lists powers, which i'm specifically referring to as powers because of the iX2 characters (who have no septimas but have septima-like powers) and moebius (who has an octima)

(pls can someone explain to me what the hell vector manipulation is? what the fuck are vectors??)

Lola (voiced by Obake Pam in English, Mayu Mineda in Japanese)

A virtual idol known as “The Muse of Hope.” Lola is an ever-so-willful, boyish young girl. Unbeknownst to others, her true form is a collection of small “battle pods” that transform. She began her virtual idol career with music videos, but lately she has begun branching out to other content.

■ Game Rules

The basic rules are simple! As Lola Pods fall from above, match them with pods of the same type. Matching Lola Pods will combine and rank up to form a bigger pod. Keep making bigger Pods without crossing the line at the top!

It’s rumored that Lola can get even bigger than this… You’ll just have to see for yourself!

Grow your Lolas and get a score over 1600 to get a new Lola song! You can swap songs at any time to any you’ve unlocked. Jam to your favorite tunes as you puzzle it out!

I Am Unreasonably Hyped For This Game

Holy fricking shit

What the heck They did it, they made peak THIS WAS ANNOUNCED A FUCKING MONTH AGO AND YET I SOMEHOW DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT UNTIL LAST NIGHT I HATE HOW NONEXISTENT THE MARKETING FOR THIS SERIES IS I am like actually frothing at the mouth at this announcement, absolutely feral.

This series has by far one of my favorite soundtracks in any video game and the fact that they didn't make a rhythm game out of it 8 years ago is criminal and the creators deserve to be locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives for not making it sooner. But they also deserve to be let out and also given 1 billion money coins and a free pass to be allowed to commit any crimes ever for finally making it now!

I refuse to look at the actual song list because I know that I'll be disappointed because there's no way they included even close to all like 80 vocal songs throughout the entire series, but like if they don't have A Zip to the Moon I'll cry, really. A Zip to the Moon is the only thing that could truly make me believe in a god.

It'd also be cool if they added the Lola versions of every Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 song but they won't because the god of A Zip to the Moon hates me :(

If there is a SINGLE Luminous Avenger iX song my face will go from :) to :( INSTANTLY, and then it'll go back to :) when I see A Zip to the Moon because it'll be there, surely! They took away her robot voice she sounds like shit bring back bootleg Hatsune Miku!

I'm sure it's gonna have like, all of the Gunvolt 3 songs because it's the newest one, so very excited to hear 90% of that game's soundtrack for the first time, not in the game that they originated from because I still have not played 3 beyond the demo despite it releasing over a year ago. But like the two songs from it that I have heard are really good so I'm sure the rest is too, Ergo Sum and Glass Paradise are both pretty cool.

Whoever made the decision to release Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 on the same day as both Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Digimon Survive is a psychopath and my worst enemy.

For funsies they should also add like 1 Mega Man Zero song just as like a little reference to their past works, y'know some games do that they could do that there wouldn't be any rights issues or anything please I just want Innocence from Mega Man ZX to exist again it's like the A Zip to the Moon of Mega Man Zero it's so good please Mr. Inti Creates I'll stop calling you a psychopath I promise.

I can't wait for this game to just be a shitty Persona 3/5 Dancing tier cash-grab rhythm game with only like 10 of the worst songs from the entire series that costs $50 and kills the series because it didn't sell well enough.

Removing the mechanic from the final boss of 2 where you had to sing into the 3DS microphone (or just blow into the mic) in the Steam version was the worst thing that happened since capitalism. Like yea they couldn't really realistically implemented it without like, requiring you to have a mic hooked up for literally one 30 second portion of the final boss but like, I'm still mad >:C

Ippo Yamada - IGNITER (iX 2 ver.)

from Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2

[cosmosrebellion]

Luminous Avenger IX 2 had a ton of really cool crossover boss fights with characters from different games, and because of them I keep thinking about how cool it be to have Hibiki as a boss fight for a possible LAIX-3

Not only would it be amazing to see Inti Creates translate her design through they're gorgeous sprite work, but I think she make for a pretty great boss fight in a mechanic sense. Also have the X-Drive as her SP-Skill with any number of cool attacks we can choose for a screen-covering attack that's hard, but fun as hell to learn how to dodge.

[neomel]

I have...so many swirling thoughts on Gunvolt and Inti Creates in general. My fixation on them kinda ended last year but the games still bubble in my mind. Particularly going from Gunvolt 1, 2 and then Luminous Avenger iX. And I'm still fucking blown away by the climaxes in all three games and how immaculately they built on top of each other.

And like you could already start to see the rough edges in design with LAiX 1, but its such a shame that the devs seem to be really struggling with the series rn...like it IS Inti Creates' big blockbuster main title series yet its so hard for them to innovate with the series. Designing core gameplay ground up seems to be a real challenge for them in general.

Will say though!!! I liked Luminous Avenger iX 2 well enough still, I really really hope the melee/air combat gets explored more bc its a cool as hell idea to alternate between the two. Still haven't played GV3 though :/

[strapstreams]

Check it out!

With the finale coming soon for the last entry into the Gunvolt series, here's a good place to start if you wish to see how it all started!

[azelf101]

Actually now that we have have to basically evacuate Twitter while it crumbles into a pile of ashes, I wanna know something:

So I had a project that was/is in the works to over a bunch of tweets I found on Twitter about people talking about…or even so much as mentioning Azure Striker Gunvolt 3. Usually people talking about the story and characters.

So I figured I can ask Tumblr, have you guys seen any spicy takes about the third Gunvolt game on here that I can read about? Maybe I can rework the project? Possibly?

[felikatze]

videogame asks 20 and/or 24 ~

20. A boss you think is really cool

Hmmmm, I think a lot of bosses from the azure striker gunvolt series are cool as hell. I especially love Blade from luminous avenger ix 1 and Mother Computer from luminous avenger ix 2. Blade just looks cool as hell zipping about with a lightning sword whip and i am Insane about Mother Computer. the references baked into her design, her battle theme being a remix of Igniter, the anthem melody for copen from asgv2 and laix1 - tis perfect. the first phase fight against possessed kohaku was also my favorite boss in the game to learn, and the only one i could beat without taking damage. the second phase is MUCH trickier, but also fun, even if i had to rely on the game's easy mode infinite healing.

i also adore the final boss of kh3, as mentioned in a previous ask. stunning cinematography. i don't remember if i enjoyed the gameplay of it as much though. i definetly hated the phase of the fight where goat xehanort floated underwater and you had to air step toward him.

24. A game with a cool art style

A lot of games have great art styles! People are so creative! But i'm gonna give it to Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. The chibi artstyle is adorable. The UI retains much of the slick p5 feel with a cinema theme. The enemy designs are fun, particularly the bosses, who are wild mish-mashes of persona enemies. The first one is Kamoshida as superman, the second is yosuke as a dinosaur. Phenomenal. One of the mini-bosses is a giant chicken.

The original character designs are also adorable, I love Hikari and Nagi, and the animated cutscenes like the musical opening are gorgeous. All around, a lovely game!
