I'm playing 6 and do not understand a word of Japanese and even then I can tell that the story is going some crazy places. I *have* to be getting near the end of the game.

It is a strange, but fond memory of playing with friends, getting to that mission, and having the two veteran fencer players start screaming "STOP RESISTING" while rockets and miniguns open up. I was confused at first.

Shaking some dust off this old thread. Any news about the Western release for EDF 6? I recall Scalding Coffee said the Western version of EDF 6 will come out for consoles first, then PC likely the next year. Are Playstation 5's easier to obtain this year than last year? I had bought a PS 4 Pro specifically for EDF 5, so will likely being doing the same to get the latest PS console for EDF 6. I heard the EDF 5 menu theme again the other day, and made me realize how much I was missing playing a new EDF

There's been no announcements for a western release yet, we're just guessing release timings based on EDF 5's release dates.

Having played all of EDF6 in japanese, it's amazing. However there isn't even a DLC pack released yet, I dont think a western release will happen before that's done.

They are taking their time with the DLC since EDF6 is much larger than 5. Console release is definitely coming this year, but not until months after the DLC comes out, going along with the previous entries.

Ah, thanks to everybody for the helpful info. Glad to hear EDF 6 is much larger than EDF 5. I spent a _lot_ of time on the prior EDF missions ( I assume like everyone else), mostly going back and replaying levels on different difficulties to unlock new weapons. I won't be playing EDF 6 every day, as last time I played EDF 5 trying to complete all Hardest missions, while cooped up during COVID, I started to develop repetitive-stress pain in one of my thumb joints, as I was trying to play 2 to 3 hours a night in some cases. I'm an older gamer and find I cannot handle playing sessions longer than an hour without some kind of finger-joint or wrist strain. So if I spend an hour a day on EDF 6, I'll be playing for quite a while. But that means more time to thoroughly enjoy EDF 6 at a leisurely place, I guess

Does edf 6 put the cool giant war mission in the first 40 missions and then never do a mission like that again I loved plains of conflict why did we only get that once but a million "shoot the UFO when the hatch opens upto vomit garbage onto the map" missions

The scale of mission intensity is all over the place with this sequel. There are plot reasons for having the gradual buildup to a large battle then suddenly scale it down. There will be multiple instances of two armies clashing on a battlefield with tons of explosions happening that it seems like a remix of earlier missions.

Finally got World Brothers and am about a dozen missions in so far. Fun enough, nothing groundbreaking. Any characters in particular I should be looking out for?

They're totally random to find so just try out new brothers or sisters as you come across them. Some of my faves are the Iron Rain EDF characters though.

the method to gain and level up characters is pure rng. it drags down the rest of the game, imo.

World Brothers is irredeemable trash imo that tries to be EDF but neither hits the humor nor the gameplay or atmosphere of the mainline games. A poor fan game Imitation paired with racist stereotypes of people.

World Brothers is alright. It's not remotely as good as the mainline games, but it's fun enough for a playthrough. Ironically, I felt like the team system drained a lot of the appeal out of the multiplayer. Since everyone is running a team of brothers/sisters, everyone can fill every role at the same time and cover their own weaknesses so there's way less of that awesome feeling of specialized teamwork you can get from a lot of the mainline games. The maps in WB are also too bite size and short.

I finished my first EDF5 playthrough last week, Ranger Normal Offline. I had a pretty great time just going at it in bursts here and there. That said, I thought I could keep that 100% completion dream alive by doing one Normal playthrough with one class, a Hard playthrough with another class, Hardest playthrough with a third class, and then four playthroughs at Inferno. I was so disappointed when I saw that beating Hardest and Inferno difficulty stages doesn't unlock the other difficulty stars. I don't think I was ever realistically going to beat all 110 levels 7 times, but asking me to do it 13 times is ludicrous lol.

isn't that tracked per class per difficulty level? so if you complete a level on normal with wing diver, than hard with air raider, that's still just a normal difficulty completion tracked for WD?

ninjewtsu posted:isn't that tracked per class per difficulty level? so if you complete a level on normal with wing diver, than hard with air raider, that's still just a normal difficulty completion tracked for WD? Correct. You need to beat each difficulty with each class for 100%. For all that I loving love EDF that's an insane level of completionism that really shouldn't be in a modern game lol.

I wouldn't mind the insane level of completionism if absolutely critical stuff like "weapon level unlock" wasn't hidden behind like 70%.

ninjewtsu posted:isn't that tracked per class per difficulty level? so if you complete a level on normal with wing diver, than hard with air raider, that's still just a normal difficulty completion tracked for WD? That's correct! I thought I could beat the game once on Normal, once on Hard, once on Hardest in order to get my armor and weapon levels up across the board, then just beat the game with each class on Inferno to get 100% completion. Turns out you only get easier difficulty levels unlocked up to Hard. Example: I just beat the game on Normal with Ranger. This gave me stars for Easy and Normal. Next I play Wing Diver on Hard. This will give me stars for Easy, Normal and Hard. After that I go back to the first mission on Inferno with Fencer. I only get the star for Inferno, all easier difficulty levels show as incomplete.

The grouped difficulty unlock only works up to hard. So you can play on hard to get everything below that, but hardest and up all have to be unlocked separately. And yes, every class counts as its own thing.

Finished World Brothers on Hard, dipping into Hardest for a bit, and it may be the honeymoon period of trying new weapons after having used the same ones for like 50%+ of my first playthrough, but it is actually feeling pretty good right now. Special mention to the Plasma Cannon that never stops firing ever (2 shots a second, .5 second reload) and the upgraded Fork which went from 16 missiles at one target to 16 missiles at individual targets which works so much loving better. Also did enjoy the last two stages had a bunch of allied ants, even if they did nothing but tank hits. That was a fun way to end the story at least.
