      Actually I paused and here's the text displayed if you fail to grab the medal in time (still sounds stupid by the way).
      "Without the strength of Mobile Suit Gundam, the Federation will eventually lose the war for Earth."
      So I'd imagine that either the captain says something along the lines of "That's a shame, we really could have used the help of someone as capable as you." (insert any Gundam defeated scene from this game here) or "If you're not with us, then obviously you're against us!" and of course shot the player on sight for not accepting immediately upon being offered the job within about 2 seconds. Either way "IT'S JUST BAD!"

      The Gundam is considerably less resilient in the original novelization (first released as three novellas) known as *Awakening, Escalation, and Confrontation* .
      Not only is it vulnerable to most standard projectiles (the same ones it shrugs off in the anime), it gets destroyed by a twitchy Dom pilot during the battle of A Bao A Qu (which the Feds lose in this timeline) just before Char wins Amuro over to his cause. And if that's not weird enough, the White Base later teams up with Char to stage a coup against the Zabis.

      That's is one of the more ridiculous points of that intro. Literally any of the other weapons used by the Zaku II would have a better chance of destroying the Gundam that fast. The Zaku machine gun is one of the most ineffective weapons in the entire franchise, alongside the all of the original weapons used by the Genoace.

      2. International right are a much more complicated thing that that. Even if they were adapting a Japanese game with animated cutscenes created specifically for it, they might not be able to use them in the western release. Again, see what happened to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. The Japanese version had animated cutscenes made by Tatsunoko for endings, but the western version of the game had them replaces with stills done by Udon Comics.
      3. It honestly might have been cheaper to make these FMV sequences because licensing can be that complicated and pricey.

      The anime footage was cheap enough for them to get the license to use it and then not do so and it not be a major affect on their budget. But the price of it in Japan did force their hand, so I guess you're unintentionally half right.

    This is my favorite scene. If your getting shot at while inside a machine of just about kind, I'm like 90% sure you would be able to tell, especially when the bullets hitting you are pretty much AS BIG AS CARS. And it STILL takes him a while to realize this.
    Poor Ryu, hes unsafe even in the US from death.
    Also, his father didn't die, he comes back later...and pretty much completely unstable and insane. I think he died in the episode he returned in but I could be wrong.

      Well in the films recapping the series he "Fell down the stairs" but his actual fate is left pretty ambiguous. His lack of an appearance in Zeta and Double Zeta, and really anything else UC really help to lean into the idea that he's gone even if it's never been officially confirmed.
      But you are correct that the series itself doesn't cover any of that. He DOES however have massive brain damage from oxygen depravation in the TV series. Which would not be fun for him. But that's on me for not noticing that since I was the most Gundam knowledgeable person in the writers room for this video XD

    The spellings used in this game are the same as the original translations of the 0079 novels. There phonetic translations of the Japanese pronounceion so Char is Shar and zaku is zack

      yeah, same thing with ''jeanne'' and Zeon. in japanese, some words that starts with Z are pronounced like J if they have yu after (ex: Zyuranger is pronounced Juuranger) the translators probably thought that every word starting with Z were pronounced like a J hence ''Jeanne' instead of Zeon

    I think "Zak" is the correct pronunciation of Zaku, japanese phonetic can't have words ending in a consonant except when it is a "n", so a "u" is placed next to the consonant. And with the Zeon/Jeanne problem i think it's due to the confusion between the two translitteration systems, in the Hepburn system zi=zi, but in the Katsuragi system zi=ji. I think the translators here translated directly from a text without ever bothering watching the anime to hear the proper pronunciation.

      Yes it is true that words cannot end in japanese by a consonant (exept for ん), but this doesn’t prove anything at all. MS like DOM (ドム) and the Gogg (ゴッグ) are dropping the u sound at the end and that’s why you don’t say domu nor goggu in english for instance. In the Zaku’s case, the u is still present (and it was written as such since the 80’) so you pronounce the u sound and no, Zak isn’t the correct way to say it
      It’s just a typical case of "no one involved in this game bothered to check"
