Okay, I take it back for two of them. Ersha and Vivian, the pink haired duo. They're decent people. I hate the rest.

Not counting secret stages or the true ending, there's 52 stages.

I know he shows up in several places, which mission is this meant to be for?

Loathe as I am to give Hathaway kills, more Xi is key. Hah.

Did they never, like, get around to making an M10 or something. The US military was using M6's, and Mithril jumped to M9s, did they really never come up with anything past that that wasn't just a super one-off like Arbalest and Laevateinn?

Come to think of it, were M8's and 7's even a thing? Did they just jump from M4 to M6 to M9?

It's been a long time since I read the books, but if I recall correctly the M9 was top-of-the-line tech that was still being evaluated by the US military though Mithril had already adopted it. We never heard anything about the other M(x) units though since FMP! parallels the Cold War, they were presumably other designs that never made it past the experimental stage. The whole FMP! story takes place over the span of 2 or 3 years so there wouldn't really be enough time to develop and field an M10 even with Whispered pushing technology faster than normal.

FMP! Invisible Victory should come out this fall and chronicle the rest of the story.

What's the trick to the skill point on Stage 16 (japan route)? It says to kill the boss dude in 4 turns, but I killed him on turn 4 and no SR. Akito takes a huge beating from that giant cloud of enemies.

That's a mistranslation, I think. JP wiki says to destroy everything in 5 turns.

...Okay, so something interesting just happened. On my second playthrough, in which I took the Cross Ange route (and hated it), I am apparently still doing the Black Might Gaine mission... Why? Is it cause Maito is an ace? Is it cause I did it before and this is just a new game plus? C-Can someone explain this? Anyone?

Maybe it's one of those things where once you unlock it you keep it in NG+s, or just that some/all secrets are free on an NG+. I think those have both been things in SRW before.

Somehow I unlocked Bonta-kun despite not really doing anything special, so I wonder if it's just tied to Sousuke's ace status.

Oh, well poo poo. I'll try that then. I'm having a really hard time replicating finishing off the boss. It's a real crap-shoot whether or not Akito can damage him and he's super low on energy on my battle save. I may just have to start the whole stage over again and try the 5 turn thing.

Being able to start Shinji at 85% sync ratio and 145 morale really makes achieving evolution really easy.

He also has the spirit that gives 30 Focus. At first I was like 170 Focus that going to be a pain but now I can get that turn 1 before even moving.

Does it have the same animations as Z3?

Also and probably more importantly, does someone carry forward Klan's tradition of saying "that's MISTER Bonta-kun to you, forehead face!"

I got a secret scenario after stage 41 which was just filled with easily killed ships that dropped tons of money and rare items. Did anyone else get that?

They look pretty much the same I think, maybe the rush is a bit different.

Haven't seen this yet, but I'm pretty close to stage 41 on the second playthrough, so I guess I'll see.

Yeah, it was after Stage 42. I got the Secret Scenario trophy for it and everything so I guess it's another secret. It's a super-easy stage that just vomits items and money at you though so a pretty nice secret.

I got that one. I was kind of disappointed when Secret Scenario popped up and I didn't any sort of new attack or character.

But seriously, though, gently caress Cross Ange.

They fixed Prince of Darkness. Kappei called Akito out in a graveyard, Akito apologizes and joins your group, you go to Mars and clean the place out immediately after hitting Amaterasu, and then loving dragons ruin everything. What's worse, after everybody gets universe-hopped due to Yurika saving everybody from dragons, the Cross Ange idiots start talking poo poo about the new Earth. THEN, when Soji (who is a very cool dude and a good original) is like, "Ladies, that's not very polite," they outright tell him to buzz off.

Finishing the scenario chart is gonna be agony. I hate these people and I hate everything from their show. They shoulda just skipped airtighting their stupid Para Mails and went all "oops, they must've suffocated" after dropping them into space.

I went and watched Cross Ange while waiting for this to come out. You might not believe it, but at least relatively, this is fixed for it. Ange's like a hundred times better.

Hilda's actually possibly an even bigger dick, though. Might just be more opportunities for dickery.

That's what has me worried. I was wondering whether the show got handled straight because it's the debut or if the show got fixed. I've never seen Cross Ange, mind.

... weird. Upgrading Black Getter before getting Shin Getter upgraded Shin Getter, even though you keep Black Getter. That... normally doesn't happen in these games, I think.
