Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny

Mobile Suit GUNDAM SEED BATTLE DESTINY(Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED: Battle Destiny) is a battle action game for PSVita developed by Artdink and published by Bandai Namco Games, in which players can experience events of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.

Gameplay
The game follows the same tradition as the Gundam Battle Games that came before it. Players can create a male or female character plus a partner to participate in the events of 71 C.E. and 73 C.E. as a Natural or Coordinator, siding with either the EAF or ZAFT Factions in the beginning.

Later events will give you a choice to remain with your chosen faction or join the Archangel/Three Ships Alliance later on. Three runs will be needed to unlock everything, since allegiance decisions are a one-time affair. Moreover, certain missions and MS are exclusive to one faction.

After finishing certain missions, bonus missions in the Another Arc, EX and Hyper Boss Battle are gradually unlocked. The Another Arc features minor events from MSV as well as some miscellaneous missions involving MS types; EX Missions are the same as the first basic timeline missions but allows all the missions to be playable regardless of chosen faction, and Hyper Boss Battle involves fighting the famous pilots and their units with tripled stats.

Notes And Trivia

 * Coordinator-type original characters can become EA Pilots but Naturals can't join ZAFT until a feature is unlocked.
 * Some Mobile Suits are restricted to specific environments like before, but pilot type limitations are not as strict in SEED Battle Destiny: Naturals can still man MS meant for Coordinators, but the system warns players that the pilot will not be able to use the unit properly. The corresponding penalties are obvious with AI-controlled characters, who get defeated easily by grunts even if the unit has been tuned up.
 * Original characters who start out as Naturals can be given the Biological CPU or Extended ability in order to effectively pilot certain MS. Once applied, the ability can't be removed. The stat bonuses slightly resemble the ones for Coordinators, but when MS HP is at 30%, all stats will drop. It will also cause a personality change that varies per character type.
 * There is a minor timeline canon conflict for the EAF side. Strike Daggers will be available as starter units for the original characters and can be used as early as the events in Heliopolis (January 25, 71 C.E.) despite the fact that it wasn't officially rolled out until several months later (May 25, 71 C.E.).
 * On a related note, later variants like the 105 Dagger also unlock early, going against their actual rollout date. This was probably done for gameplay balance purposes (also since the Moebius and F-7D Spearhead aren't playable units and the Moebius Zero is space-use only).
 * The narrative is linear for all factions, with only a short detail of the original character pilots wanting to know the truth behind the war in between if they decide to side with Archangel. Regardless of the results of the actual battles on either side (especially for ZAFT/EAF), the ending per timeline is always just a text summary of the events that happened in SEED and SEED Destiny.
