In a PvP scenario, yeah, mechs beat the shit out of anything else because they're basically immortal and hit just as hard as humans, but then a fast monster with Magnetic Storm walks all over them.
Game wise though, mechs don't have access to ultra broken stuff like magic, and especially T260G can't afford to just spam mostly one strategy and win if you solo, which is what happens in other runs, unlike Red or Asellus that can rely on magic and superior WP pools T260G is forced to gauge a meager 50 WP for boss fights, and what my solo playthrough taught me is that no matter how much armor you pile over your mech, a 2 men combo from the right monsters or a MagneticStorm and you're dead just like everything else, on that matter humans at least don't have a tremendous weakness so even if you don't survive a combo there's nothing that can kill you in one hit unless you go up against a quest boss.
On a slightly unrelated note, I REALLY like how Imperial handles character PvP, if the races worked like the mainline SaGa it would be pretty addicting, now that they also added equipment the game really shifted to PvP more than anything, it has a few pretty good concepts for a web browser game, some of those would be pretty cool for a mainline game actually, like giving the option to power up magic or waza in terms of power or accuracy, character PvP mechanics and the reinforcement concept, which is similar to what happens during the Maximus fight in RomaSaGa 3.

>which is good because Red looks like a huge dork
Red is definitely a huge dork, that's why people like him, he's a hotheaded boy with the power of Justice.
In Lord of Vermilion: Arena Red/Alkaiser is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, so it can't get more stereotyped than this.

> i think he unironically looks really cool.
He is, though I like Alkarl more.
>is when you leave the cygnus in Yorkland when the game truly begins?
Yep, you're on your own from there.

Poltergeist was one the first sign of Nomura's unstable mental health.

It was only for Frontier though, pretty god tier Sentai design too.
And Generally SaGa had either fabulously posing or over the top monsters, or both.

Well, SaGa is all about posing anyway.
