Character Creation
-You name your character
-Pick an expression template
-Pick a hairstyle template
-Then you answer 7 questions (in Japanese) which determine your stats, they are simple questions of values, morals, and such)
-After your 7 questions are answered you get the stat totals of your character and any initial special abilities based on choices
-You may get an extra unit (I have the V2 at the start)
-24 characters can be created
Controls
The controls are the same as Battle Universe with two changes:
1. To enter another area you lock on to a certain letter block with L+R (type A) or L+O (Type B) and fly into the block and you'll be in the area desired and you can fly into any area at anytime during a mission enabling free movement.
2. Some non transforming units have a high speed flight mode and if you do the combination for transformation you can have atmospheric flight and you have full use of all weapons in this mode.
Other Changes
-A First person mode and a third person mode that can be used in battle (to change modes press start and choose mode (second option) to change perspective), if you like the Gundam Side Story 1-3, and 0079 FPS concept you can play the game this way and if you like a more Armored Core style 3rd person mode you'll be happy as well.
-Point system replaced by the TP system (serves the same purpose for tuning weapons and MS)
-Extra parts such as external boosters and extra armor are available
-Tuning and extra parts cost Gold and you get Gold at the end of any battle (even after failure)
Situation (Missions)
-Up to 3 units can be used in battle
-Defeating the leader units results in quick completion
-There are motherships, bases, and carriers that can repair your armor (most are anime based but some can be as simple as a truck), you need to protect these especially in Seed and 00 story modes when missions can be long.
-You can issue commands to your teammates to perform commands such as defend and most importantly repair at the designated area.
-You can revive downed teammates if far away from the designated repair area.
