I was actually referring to the pilots, but yes, their machines are more awesome too. And you get them way earlier.

The Ryusei route in OG1 has something kinda approaching a tutorial, though. (And the game’s plot seems to assume you played it first, as the Kyosuke route doesn’t explain a good chunk of what’s going on. Which is a shame because the ATX team is waaay better than the SRX team.)

(It does my old heart good to see people commenting on a SRW article.)

Seconded: even though OG2 is quite a bit more refined in terms of animation and sub-systems (the combo attacks are nice, though not as useful as in more recent titles like SRW W where all targets don’t need to be in a perfectly straight line from you…) you’ll be more than a little lost if you jumped right into 2.

Neither exactly has a tutorial level like most ‘modern’ games, but the commands aren’t too hard to figure out. I can play the Japanese ones just fine once I trial-and-error what all the Spirit/Seishin abilities do.
