well it is a video game

when it says how genius your strategies are, it means you, the player. the genius strategies are supposed to be whatever you did to win the last map.

it's a legal/rights thing? penal labor is paid irl, albeit not much at all.

everybody still has two classes they excel at though, so every engineer can also be another class while still being in a preferred class

I've seen this stupid line in animes before. What does it mean? It obviously doesn't have nothing to do with you, it's a sentence directly about you, addressed to you. Is there some badly-translated nuance of meaning here or is this just rear end writing?

It's not my problem/i don't give a gently caress. it's one of the sentence structures that works in japanese but is awkward in english, so bad translators will leave it as is. see, "It can't be helped".

I'm really confused on this whole deal. She's been fighting for Kurt since the beginning, unless they just mean she doesn't have these forced deployments anymore...?

i think the idea is that she's just doing her own thing each map, but for gameplay reasons they still let you control her.

Ramsey, what are you doing picking up teenage chicks.

take another look at the guy, of course he's picking up teenagers

i married her

the romance choices in this game are exceedingly subpar though. Should have been able to romance my bro Gusurg. Failing that Gloria.

yeah, it's the same as in 2 where new members get sent to the nameless as you progress through the game

i do think 3 has a smaller roster overall though

it's really funny since there's no affection system or anything, so you can view one girl's version of every scene, then at the very last choice end up with the other girl you haven't been spending any time with.

Are these scenes strictly optional or do have to end up with someone?

you have to. basically at a couple of points you can either hang out with riela or imca, with the last of these points working as the final decision.

you see "it can't be helped" all the time if you read manga and anime. it's one of a handful of phrases you eventually realize is a literal translation of some japanese expression or idiom or what have you. that said, i suppose that's what you get for free translations.

one could even say it can't be helped

there's a couple of legit criminials, but yeah, most people are jean valjean criminals instead.

which isn't a bad thing, i'm not sure i'd want a playable party of murderers and rapists. It's nice to have likable characters
