Japanese companies tend to price gouge dedicated fans while releasing the same products for cheaper overseas. Compare the price of an anime blu-ray in Japan to an anime blu-ray in the US. Thus, they don't want the Japanese fans to circumvent said gouging.

If it helps I think Terada has stated that he wants to do a "retro" style SRW some day - granted I have no idea how "retro" he's talking about so maybe he's talking so old-skool that the units are static sprites whose weapons pop into their hands as they float towards the enemy while vibrating a little.

Even if he did get approval though I can't imagine that lasting for more than a single nostalgiabait game though, like even Mega Man 9 / 10 had to return to low budget 3D graphics eventually for 11.

For "retro" how about bringing back moving character portraits during Intermissions and Helmet-on portraits during Battle Animations ala the first two Alphas.

I have a tendency to compulsively complete things like that even if I hate doing it and if SRW did it with this many missions it would be hell and is the only thing I've yet thought of that could possibly make me genuinely dislike the game. I'm glad there's no SR points or TacP bonuses or whatever because by the hundredth mission it would become the worst thing I've ever experienced.

I don't particularly care for them, but I've read the Kotak article and I can't really say there's anything particularly clickbaity or ill-informed about it, including the "the story is just an excuse plot" line. I don't really think it's that unreasonable of an opinion to hold for a decent portion of people, it's not exactly a deep exploration of the injustice of societal inequality and all that.

Just as a heads up, please don't signal boost this guy's Twitter account. I was wondering why that string of numbers in their name seemed kind of familiar, and then remembered they got mentioned in the previous SRW thread as someone who turned out to be a massive chud.

Very much on the "Acceptance" phase with the fucker. It is what is. Hopefully as the series gets more mainstream attention (and with it newer fans) the more reactionary elements of the fanbase will gently caress off to form their own little online cesspools. Usually how this goes, but can only be so lucky

also the most hosed up part about that D-numbers guy is once a long while back i was on their twitter looking for cool mecha content, saw them call a trans anime character who won some award a slur, and when i clicked their "likes" it was a bunch of I Stand With Vic nonsense

And that whole other customer base isn't likely to be more enthused for having to buy five games to get an ending less satisfying than the one they got after just playing one.

Multi-game adds a lot of difficulties and relatively few benefits. I don't quite understand why some people seem to think it's the solution to the series's ills.

building more off of this, one could theoretically take the AI Upscaled sprites, fix up the few errors seen in the vid, add Multi-Language support and BOOM theres your Alpha series SEA Re-Master!

The Gaiden and Alpha 2 upscales are neat, but they definitely look worse than the original unless you're allergic to pixels. The animations and designs were all done to work at that original level and the AI oversmoothing stinks it up.

Trust me, I know. Which is why I said in one of my last posts that at the very most the AI Upscales would provide a foundation upon which to start creating sprites for a hypothetical SEA Steam Remaster or something

In particular the one video that really sticks out to me is the OG Gaiden Thurugelmir(sp?) vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fx9GGfVkGg
