So, """""""fun""""""" fact: According to George Kamitani, the director and writer of the game, about half of the content they had planned was cut due to time and money constraints. This would include Tamao Kurabe (who barely had any screen time), Tsuakasa Okino, who, despite how relevant he is to the plot, isn't included among the protagonists, and AI Takaotoshi, among other things. Yes, AI Takatoshi. In one of the scenes where Ida is talking to Kisarag in the underground lab, they mention putting Miura and Takatoshi in Sentinels, implying that they're AI. We barely hear anything about THIS Takatoshi again. The one bit of scrapped content we know about him is that, after the Sentinel Infection Incident, he's stuck in his Sentinel and they're both force-shifted to 1945 (Sector 5), just like Okino and his Sentinel. Okino finds him, and AI Takatoshi, with his mind (or data, rather) being corrupted by the infection, asks Okino to delete him, so he does. His Sentinel (No. 19), is the one that's in the hangar in 1945, being tested with the real Takatoshi and Miura as its pilots, and eventually being used by Miura in the Final Battle. You might remember a scene from Natsuno's story when she and BJ explored 1945 and found that Sentinel. BJ said that No. 19 "belonged to a comrade" and that "he's dead." That was AI Takatoshi he was talking about :")
it is really sad we're missing content, but the game is still very good without. i didn't know that about ai takatoshi, very sad. would've loved to see those as scenes.
There’s a massive rumor from some vanillaware insiders that they are working on a Director’s cut for this game since it hit 1 million units sold. There is nothing I would love more than a 200 hour experience of this world.
@@kiwiparfaits if it is we still need to wait probably a decade+. 13S and Unicorn Overload were pitched in 2013 and it took them 6 and 11 years respectively to get them out. As much as I’d love to see it happen I also don’t mind waiting. I’ve yet to find a vware game that dose the go out of its way to do the little things right. If this is going to happen I want it to be exactly what Kamitani wants. They already planned for 13 S to loose them money and released the game anyway. That takes major balls. They also almost nearly cut the English dub of this game. Putting an extremely tight 20 week deadline on the English cast to record and compile the voice lines remotely due to the pandemic. With the exception of Keiji Tang the voice of Takatoshi who was able to record all of his lines before the studio was closed. Voice Director and voice of Tsukasa Okino, Veronica Taylor and co Director Benjamin Diskin managed to get the voice lines recorded on time and the game was patched pre western release to include the Dub. The amount of heart and soul that went into the production of this game gives me immense hope for the future of this industry. It might be misguided or naive but I don’t care
As was said in the previous episode, a lot gets added to Analysis upon completion of the game, so I recommend checking that out before closing out this playthrough after the credits roll. In particular, there’s actually a scene that gets added to the Event Archive that is only viewable after beating the game. I almost missed this scene in my own playthrough way back when because I wasn’t even thinking to look for it.
And it elaborates further as to who's in each event by listing the people connected to the event as well as the sentinels (Ie. listing Miwako in events which she appears in)
the idol singing in the background of a giant robot fight is a macross reference. this game keeps living up to the ultimate sci-fi crossover in history title And by the way, asking the pilots to just fight for 14 hours is pretty much asking the impossible, each wave is like 2 minutes.
God, the Seaside Vacation boss fight always got me kind of emotional. We’re so dead, there’s no way we can hold out, it all feels impossible… and yet this simple little song of hope hasn’t abandoned us. We’ll survive.
The song Inaba sings is called 'Seaside Vacation' and this whole boss fight to an Idol song is a huge Macross reference. When you finish this playthru watch the 'all references in 13 sentinels' youtube video. There's SO many 😂
Time for more Kaiju destroying! I hope the surprise performance is a surprise attack on the Kaijus! So its that kind of performance! Song is amazing! 🎶
Wave 10 of Section 2 has always been one of my favorite battles in the game from a narrative perspective. I find the battle itself mildly easy but just fighting to Seaside Vacation is so emotional. The only one that tops it is the final battle because we'll it's the final battle.
Sentry guns- Break the game Tomi's ultimate- Paint the field Drones- Do funny things 51:07 Homer- (singing) I gave my love a chicken. It had no bones. When I need inspiration, I play Reach for the stars: The Gatekeeper boss theme in Nikke
Juro is actually really good, especially on the final mission. You should at least get him to lvl 30 before then. His and some of the others’ pilot skills offer some cool flavor text and abilities.
@@Lulink013 true enough. Most of the pilots unique weapons are pretty fun and I find it’s generally a toss up between Juro and Iori for me,as far as the gen 2’s are concerned.
51:50 literally SO cool. such an awesome moment. it feels hopeless and yet, with that cheery pop music, you have the strength to keep pushing. i appreciate also, idk if intended, but the vocalist on the track sounds a little imperfect, which i think adds a touch of emotion to the song. desperation. love the song sm tho.
Seeing Evan and Ali appreciate how good Interceptors are is great. Combining them with Sentry Turrets and Long Range Sentinels is still insanely good, because you can pop Missile Rain on rotation while 2 people keep making Sentry Turrets and 2 others keep making Interceptors to fly around and finish off anything left.
There's actually an official remix album of the 13 Sentinels soundtrack called "13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim -The Branched-". I wouldn't recommend looking up anything about it until you beat the game, but I will tell you that, among other things, it includes a couple brand new tracks, including a brand new song by Miyuki Inaba.
You got lucky that the twin tails ex didn't lunch a single flare missiles i was getting excited to see one of few actually difficult part of the game in the true normal difficult of the game intense
Spoilers for the video i guess: To me, when you get to 2-10 and you star the map and suddenly Seaside Vacation started to play as a background music, it became by far one of my favorite moments of this entire game
So, as others have already pointed out, an idol singing a pop song over a mech battle is a Macross reference. Inaba’s song is also the same one you faintly hear in the background when hovering over Shu on the character select screen. HOWEVER, Shu’s entire story is also just almost literally the same as another 80’s manga called Megazone 23. It features: main character drives a motorcycle, idol singer talks to him through his TV, turns out she’s actually an AI, and their whole world is fake and constructed inside a spaceship long after humanity went extinct. There’s a great video called “The References of 13 Sentinels” that you two should absolutely check out once you’re finished, it’s crazy how many different things they pulled from.

An interesting fact is that if you take too long to beat the Twintail Ex, Miyuki’s song stops and it switches back to the normal fight music.

agreed! there's something about the song/vocals itself that gets me emotional, too.
“Better put on a show for Yuki-chan” count: 14
Evan just blew my mind whenever he said Juro's his weakest. That guy and Ogata were my MVPs
I'm pretty sure he hasn't even bothered to look at pilot skills, let alone know enough to make any real judgement calls about character's strengths.
@@joelsasmad Yeah and I played on Intense whereas they're on casual so it's not exactly like they're encouraged to learn
The song Inaba sings is called 'Seaside Vacation' and this whole boss fight to an Idol song is a huge Macross reference.

There's SO many 😂
The Macross Homage. I love it.
58:44 This is peak unintentional humor.
I'm sure somebody has probably already mentioned this, but Seaside Vacation is the song playing on Amiguchi's TV in the protagonist selection screen.
Surprises are welcome in the city!
bisexuals are also welcome in the city lol
We love some music during the end of the world.
Time for more Kaiju destroying! I hope the surprise performance is a surprise attack on the Kaijus! So its that kind of performance! Song is amazing! 🎶

Deploy interceptors. BEES 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
THESE ALWAYS TURN OUT BAD MAN
Sentry guns- Break the game
Tomi's ultimate- Paint the field
Drones- Do funny things
51:07 Homer- (singing) I gave my love a chicken. It had no bones.

You might want to look at the Loop mystery file again. It has a scroll line, which means there might be even more information farther down.
Juro is actually really good, especially on the final mission. You should at least get him to lvl 30 before then. His and some of the others’ pilot skills offer some cool flavor text and abilities.
Actually my favorite 2nd gen pilot is Iori as her plasma cutter has both a huge area and the amazing damage we love to see.
@@Lulink013 true enough. Most of the pilots unique weapons are pretty fun and I find it’s generally a toss up between Juro and Iori for me,as far as the gen 2’s are concerned.

Who doesn’t love surprises?
I'm a few eps behind, so you might have done it by now. but if you haven't its at this stage just worth unlocking all the mystery files
You get a good reward for unlocking all the mystery files by the way.
Surprises during a fight? Better hope you can keep up
Spoilers for the video i guess:
To me, when you get to 2-10 and you star the map and suddenly Seaside Vacation started to play as a background music, it became by far one of my favorite moments of this entire game
I hope Miwako’s ok during all these battles…
She's fine. Remember Chihiro moved everyone to 2025 back in battle 1-5?
@@Rognik I forgot! It’s been a while since that, thanks for reminding me!
@@jamespearce1420Yeah,I've got beef with Morimura but if nothing more, I owe her for saving Miwako
