They both suck. The GxMG/SOS suit took the G2K/GxM design and removed the best parts of it, and the GFW suit took the Heisei design and removed the best parts of it.

Actually I like the GxMG/SOS suit because it took the G2K suit (which had a good design but IMHO a weak execution) and scaled back the ridiculous excessive-ness of it.

What "best parts" are you referring to?

Final War's all the way.... sure it wasn't perfect an the spines were to small but i absolutely hated the Design for S.O.S.

I actually didn't really like any of the designs from this era but GMK an Final War's.

It's been awhile since I last saw the film, but I remember not being a fan of the Tokyo SOS suit. Anyways, gotta go with Final Wars on this.

I know a lot of people make fun of the Kiryu-goji suit because of the Gonzo face, but on Tokyo SOS, the snout of the suit looked a bit better, it didn't look as curved downward as it did in Godzilla x Mechagodzilla.

I think I'm gonna go with the Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. suit, but the Godzilla Final Wars design is my close second favorite design of the Millennium Series.

I'm with Legion here. Mire-Goji was decent, but it's a little too extreme in my opinion.



Key words there. MY opinion.

Why?

Not that I necessarily disagree, I just want to know the reason behind your opinion.

Why are the two being compared in the first place?

I like elements of both, but the Final-Goji just looks off to me. I just don't dig the head design, or "sleek" look.

The Kiryu-Goji has a funny face and all, but I've warmed up to it a lot over the past decade. The overall mass, lack of purple back plates, and the loss of the ridiculous looking mouth from the Mire-Goji were all pluses in my book. Definitely my favorite Millennium design after the Oni-Goji (GMK).

I am not a fan of the FW suit, so I am gonna side with Kiryu-Goji. The head on the FW suit especially looks rather bad in my opinion. The Kryu-Goji suit at least looks like one of my favorite suits, Mire-Goji. I much rather have seen something more like the concept art for FW

^ I can't stand that concept art. It bears about as much resemblance to Godzilla as GINO.

Same here, I mean the way the dorsal spines are, it reminds me too much of that tuna head who was never up to much.

G2K/GxM's head and plates. Heisei's head, plates, and bulk.

That's funny, because that's what most people (me included) don't like about the suit. Those aspects looked absolutely ridiculous. Personally, I'm glad things were toned down for the Kiryu-Goji.

The jagged, reptilian maw looked "absolutely ridiculous" but the Gonzo face doesn't?

Once they fixed the face for Tokyo SOS it became a much better suit, and definitely my favorite of that era.

Nope. Looks a little dopey in GxMG, but it was refined for TOKYO S.O.S and turned out better. Nowhere near as bad as the snaggletoothed Mire-Goji with those silly looking purple back plates.

I go with the SOS suit for now since he was not so thin looking compare to FW Godzilla. My only issue with the SOS suit is how the head look so stupid in some scenes.
