@twilitenshi I might just finish the game with both Rin/Rani and Nero/Tamamo to get the original experience before I see what the new stuff adds, maybe I can just wait for a sale so it’s not too boring to see the same stuff again, even with some alterations
@twilitenshi I’m so torn cuz i legit just started playing extra, but i’m far enough that I don’t wanna just be done and wait. I just got to arcuied so I’m not terribly far, but the remake looks like it’s got soooo much cool stuff going on
@MAYWISHER so in summary, if you like visual novels and the tropes accompanying them, as well as charmingly period-appropriate tropes and visuals, and can at least tolerate male POV heterosexual harem situation, i’d recommend it for the really unique premise as a war story
@MAYWISHER - owing to all of them having to harden their hearts due to the ongoing war against the aliens and the fact that well, something like half the world’s population already died. And so when you watch them grow and train with one another, it feels really satisfying
@MAYWISHER Muv Luv, a visual novel franchise that starts as a generic slice of life romance but the sequel suddenly puts the MC into an alternative universe where he has to fight aliens in a mech along with all the female love interests. she’s their teacher, Marimo, in both settings
@AlpelDokkan I wanted to just read the original rather than the remaster so I ended up with this translation on accident. I was in disbelief when Illya called Kiritsugu a "crakka."
@AlpelDokkan but other than weird shit like that and some pop culture references they definitely did not make in the original (they did not fucking mention the Brady Bunch) it's seemed pretty competent
