Kind of wish this was PS4 only? The vita development makes it feel a bit clunkier than OG MD.

Also this original guzzles energy like no tomorrow.

from what ive seen it actually seems pretty good. some of the terms/gameplay mechanics are translated weirdly and there's a few awkward lines but it could totally pass as an actual thing that got released in the US.

Its fine, but a lot of translations differ from what we're used to wrt sprits and skills and such.

Only error I've seen is on the battleship Ex-option thing that give Ex points to units. Im only 3 missions in though.

As far as I am it's a significantly huge step up from MD. It's still got some awkward lines and some of the term translations are odd but they're odd in a way that shows a fairly reasonable english-speaking translator/editor. It's not top-tier or anything but it's so far like the ggengen translation: better than I expected.

My long lunch is over and now I'm going to spend the next 4 hours desperately wanting to be back home. :smith:

I mean, even at its worst, Moon Dwellers was readable. It's not like it was Wild Arms 2 endgame or Hollow Fragment 1.0 or anything.

Thanks for the opinions y'all. Glad to hear it sounds relatively solid. My copy probably won't be here until tomorrow but this is all very exciting. :)

Gives me enough time to finish the last few stages I have left in J at least.

What does the skill Stat relate to? It's the only one I can't figure out. Also, what are people going after first in the skill tree thing?

Edit: and cpb attributes for attacks, that's the other thing I can't figure out.

There won't be for a good period of time. even if a secret unit exists figuring out how to get that secret unit involves a fair bit of spadework and multiple people comparing their experiences so we can guess what caused it.

Skill relates to certain skills second attack and I think it affects crit rating. Don't know how they're done now. And if you mean CQB, it's melee.

I don't have V in my hands yet, but Skill traditionally determines critical hit rate and pilot ability trigger rate (Deflect, Intercept, Attack Again, Counter, Shield Defense, however they translate these).

Actually I meant the icons next to the attack names. There's an attributes tab and lists either C P or B I think (or all) and I'm not sure what those mean.

P is Post Move, B is Beam. I actually need to double check what C is in this one.

P is Post-movement attacks

I believe that C means Counter, at least for this game. Since it's not on the skill tree, I can't think of anything else it could be.

Hmm. I don't suppose anyone's determined the download size for the Vita version yet? I know it's not up on the Singapore PSN, but I assume it is on Japan?

So far the animations are good, Soji and the Vangrey are fantastic, and the translation is surprisingly solid. Anyone else noticing the 3D maps look like they were thrown together in 5 minutes, though? I don't think I've seen a single square of defensive terrain in several stages now.
