every super robot series has some big incredible thing that makes them the most powerful and coolest and i don't see why this one is any different?

It's not really a preference thing-- it's just a setting thing, like N-Jammers, that requires rewriting the core basics of the plot or using heavy amounts of original crossover elements (like how W had a huge focus on alternate energy sources by the Japanese scientists in the second half due to N-Jammer interference). It's the same coin as "Why does Kira need to pilot the Strike at all?" except the opposite side and slightly more extreme. Remember that scene in Alpha 3 where they made a big deal out of Kira reprogramming the Strike so it could walk on the sand, meanwhile Sandrock and Deathscythe just zoom right past and like 15 super robots and Valkyries passed him overhead? Or remember how the entire plot of Orguss was rewritten for Z to exclude the antagonists from the second half, the primary motivating time factor (runaway greenhouse effect from the Rivalry Zones being impenetrable), the mid-season upgrade for the battleship, and the actual ending?

As I've said twice now, if Dunbine can work, anything can work. I sincerely doubt Muv-Luv would be any less doable.

It would not be released in Japan (just like apparently the PC port of Dragon's Dogma isn't) and reality would implode on itself.

When did Muv-Luv turn into some kind of "undoable" Vifam/Bokurano tier series? You just need a SRW D-like setting with series like Getter Armageddon (another series where mankind is screwed and the bug-aliens are the dominant species on Earth) and you're good to go.

I think the real-life momentum of that series has kind of slowed down by now though. That and "no animated adaptation for the main story which is the one everyone wants" are what I think is the biggest issues since I think the only series that has gotten past that is Crossbone (though I think G Gen helped in that front? The Crossbone Gundam theme must have came from somewhere)

i don't think anyone was saying it was totally undoable? like yeah there are some hiccups or whatever but i'm sure it'd work fine if they really wanted to and gave a poo poo about it.

Since it seems like there aren't many modern mecha shows that are super popular the way Code Geass and Gurren Lagann were, time to roll that clock back! Introduce Barattack, Albegas, Dorvack, Laserion, just go hog wild digging in the archives. :getin:

Thanks for doing this, a friend was asking me recently about SRPGs to play on PC in English and I recommended FMW 1 to them but they were a bit hesitant since 2 wasn't even close to done yet.

FMW2 has its entire main script and all of its menus translated, so it's done as far as we're concerned.

Here's the initial "menu patch" for FMW3. Thanks to Sanbondo changing things up we couldn't actually translate any of the main menus, but all of the skills/items/spirits/ability/danmaku descriptions are in english now. And really, if you're three games in you should know how the menus work.

Is this saying the J originals are twins or is it explaining how GC's originals coexist (like they did with R)? I never played to the end of J but the former doesn't sound like it'd really fit.

They are saying that they are changing the characters' backstory so they are twins, that's all I know.

If Touya's route is designed for new player, couldn't they translated it (I know they won't, but I can still dream dammit).

i wonder how that's gonna work- i guess they're probably gonna age touya up to calvina's age since it's not like his high school background ever matters ever while calvina's matters a ton and would make no sense otherwise

If you mean Katia, Melia and Tania, it says they are there as Touya's sub-pilots.

Yeah, the GC originals are much like Raul and Fiona in that they have the same last name and look similar to each other but don't exist in the other MC's route. It is obviously them that are the twins, not Touya and Calvina.
