For me, it's hard to get past Chester's struggles with mental health and her strong ties with scientology, which has... not great views on mental health care. There was also that stuff with speaking up for Danny Masterson (which she did apologize for tbf).
Does have a great voice though.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I oscillate between feeling like I just worked on it and feeling like I worked on it 100 years ago.

If interested I recommend:
The Origin - Modern prequel, like an historical epic about the start of the war/creation of mobile suits
08th MS Team - Vietnam-war esque gundam in the jungles of earth
War in the Pocket - a kind of meta look at gundam fandom and how they overlook the anti-war messaging

Speaking as someone who loves Gundam and the main UC timeline... it can be very hit and miss.
The OG 0079 has some good compilation movies and holds up surprisingly well. It does have some strong woman characters, but you are correct in assuming they are not the focus and are often sidelined.

They didn't even let me port it to consoles so...
Would be a fun game to translate to the table though!

Hey, I get it. I think leaning toward snappier gameplay was probably the correct choice. Balancing a tactics game for all audiences is a pretty unsolvable problem anyway.
