The updated list of Mobile Suits that will appear in the game is as follows:


You're actually missing quite a few. Freedom, Graham's Overflag, Gouf Custom (which is separate from the Gouf), and V2 to name some of the confirmed suits I remembered off hand.

I'm shocked the game is coming out so soon, but they also are completely copying most of the roster from last generation's EXVS series. I'm also a bit bummed G, X, Destiny, and 00 S2 aren't in the game. Still a day 1 purchase though.

They might end up being DLC though. Also, it's kind of odd that we aren't getting Maxi Boost or Maxi Boost On for consoles, I would've liked Maxi Boost On for PS4.

They as in the suits I listed or the series? The suits are confirmed. The series I fully expect to come out eventually to milk more cash out of everyone with dlc, but even then those could easily be over a year after launch.

I would have rather had MB/On for consoles. It has more new suits, we wouldn't lose any suits, and it has been play tested / balance patched. Not that MBOn is perfectly balanced (MB was fairly well balanced), but GVS is pretty much guaranteed to be worse balance wise with only a few short beta tests that only tested 1/3 of the roster. The Striker mechanic also looks like crap. They basically went and stripped out assists from suits then slapped on a lazy special movement / split an existing move to a new button. I could get behind it more if they actually designed the roster from the ground up with that mechanic in mind.

Supposedly part of the reason we aren't getting either of those on console is that even MB, which is old news in Japan, only somewhat recently got rolled out to arcades in many places in Asia.

Would love if they added Barbatos Lupus Rex in roster. The original Barbatos didn't give too much awesomeness.

I didn't see any Gundams or MS from X or AGE. Unless they're confirmed, I'm not interested.

Those are confirmed to NOT be in the game at release. I think a lot of the missing series will be DLC *eventually* if you're willing to pay for them...

I have a feeling that a lot of potential Western fans who didn't follow the game throughout development are going to be pretty shocked at what isn't there.

Barbatos is actually pretty awesome in game. I know what you mean though. Unfortunately, most of the roster is just rolled over from EXVS with updated models, and Barbatos and Kimaris Trooper are in EXVS MBOn. There is a spattering of new suits so it could happen.
