I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the Akatsuki thing yet. Doesn't the shape of its field look familiar to something in SEED already? If you haven't figured it out already I'll tell you. It's the Hyperion Gundam's shield formation from SEED MSV. Since it was made in the Kingdom of Scandinavia, they also made the DRAGOON upgrade pack for Akatsuki. I'd say just be glad that they're linking SEED MSV to all of this, although I wish I could see Sword Providence in action.
