Line #13 Trivia/GodEater


1	!! For the franchise as a whole:
2	* FollowTheLeader: ''God Eater Offshot'' is more or less a blatant copy of ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Xtreme 3''. The major difference is ''Offshot'' has male characters, but the game itself has very limited features compared to ''[=DOAX3=]''.
3	* NoExportForYou:
4	** The initial releases of the first two numbered entries were not released outside of Asia. Given the improvements in the {{Updated Rerelease}}s, however, the only real complaint about this is how [[SequelGap long it took]] said releases to get English translations and exports. Similarly, Namco has never shown any interest in exporting the mobile titles (two of which have, as of 2019, concluded service) or most of the ancillary media. One of the things stirring interest in ''[=GE3=]'' is that it will be the first initial-release numbered title to come out in English.
5	** Meanwhile, the English release of ''Burst'' on the PSP had a different example concerning its DLC. There were certainly hopes and demands for it amongst the players, but [=D3Publisher=] ''bluntly stated'' on their Facebook page that they would not bring over any of the DLC due to localization issues (i.e. the third-party promotional/collaboration items). Happily, later releases have avoided this issue, thanks in part to Namco keeping things in-house.
6	* TheOtherDarrin: For the dub versions of ''God Eater Resurrection'' and ''God Eater 2 Rage Burst'', several of the characters from original ''Gods Eater Burst'' localization are voiced by different actors.
7	* SequelGap: From a localization perspective, at least. The wait in English-speaking territories for ''God Eater 2'' was, in a word, excruciating. The initial version released in November 2013... and, one UpdatedRerelease later, the Anglosphere finally got ''Rage Burst'' on August 30th, 20'''16''', almost three years after ''[=GE2=]'' first released (and a good solid ''half decade'' after [=D3Publisher's=] release of ''GE Burst'').
8	* UrbanLegendOfZelda: In ''God Eater Burst'', it was rumored that Kanon Daiba had the "God of Rare Drops" skill (which increases the chance of getting rare materials after a mission) as a hidden bonus skill (as an GameplayAndStoryIntegration joke about her luck). Even though it's been proven false, some players will still bring her along for luck when they're hunting for that last item they need for an upgrade.

10	!! For the Anime:
11	* TroubledProduction: The anime for ''God Eater'' started running into problems even before it began airing, with the first episode having its initial selective screening on June 28 in Akihabara cancelled and then having its official air date bumped back a week. The most eyebrow-raising thing of this whole incident is that Creator/{{ufotable}} is making this show, and this is the first time they've run across production problems so bad they had to announce delays ''twice.'' On the ''first'' episode, no less, which is unheard of in the anime industry. It is generally thought that the budget for ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'' caused the series to have significantly lower money available for it, resulting in the project being heavily hurt.
12	** It happened ''again'' with the fourth episode getting delayed a week and having to replace it with a special episode. Though in this case, it doesn't seem like it was ufotable's fault; the episode delay only happened on one TV station in Japan, and it aired on schedule in the rest of the country...
13	** ... [[RunningGag but]] [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-08-17/god-eater-anime-airs-3rd-extra-episode-next-week/.91741 Episode 6]] has been definitely delayed for a week.
14	** [[OverlyLongGag And AGAIN]] for Episode 8!
15	** [[SerialEscalation The logical conclusion has been reached]]: the numerous episode delays took their toll, and it turns out that [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2015-09-20/god-eater-episode-9-listed-as-final-tv-episode-next-sunday/.93181 the series will not be able to finish airing on TV.]]
16	** But in the end the last 4 episodes did successfully air on TV......after ''about half a year''.
