Now that the dust has settled, how're you liking the Schwanken VN? Good music, production values, and writing, but a little on the short side, wouldn't you agree?
But first, some polling:

I'm actually really disappointed on that front, it's really a cheap game. Also the lack of side content is terribleOtherwise it's fucking perfect
>>13610421
Maybe I'm just blind, but I'm not seeing any.
>>13610423
Its music and voice work are certainly a step above average. Too bad it's obvious they dropped what should have been spoken lines for Theo (the scene where he realizes he's falling in love with Iris is pivotal in his character arc but its silent) and a few of Beatrix's scenes (like the one where she rallies the Werewolves and Axmann creeps on her) because of penny pinching.
>>13610199
So it was brought up in the last thread, but anyone else find it interesting that whenever age breaks down characters by personality in their polling, Beatrix and Yuuko always end up competing in the same group while Marimo and Irisdina duke it out over in the next category?
I wonder how Yuuko's and Marimo's relationship/dynamic would've been had Marimo been a brilliant scientist like Yuuko, or had Yuuko been an ace pilot. Do you suppose they'd be at each others throats like Beatrix and Iris are?
So is Schwarzesmarken more popular than the original trilogy now? .
>>13610823
Was TE ever more popular than the original series? No, SM is just what's current, so it's getting posted. Also, /m/'s been salivating over the girls, especially the stasi, for the past two years.

No Katia VA either. Guess she isn't as popular as Age was banking on her being over in Nippon.
>>13612263
Cookie's a pretty solid Beatrixfag. He voted for her in all the polls (unless Yuuko was on the ballot). When given the choice between the Irisdina tapestry and the Beatrix tapestry last week, it was the Beatrix tapestry that ended up on display behind him through the duration of both the Publicity Roar and Night Fever videos.
>>13612296
I wonder why he made Iris the best girl in the game anyway
>>13610477
If they were both equals in the same field, I could see Yuuko and Marimo having a crazy rivalry going on.
If Marimo did something like Iris, like getting Yuuko's true love killed (even if forced into it or on accident), then I think Yuuko would be vindictive enough where she'd begrudge Marimo for years and abuse Alternative to have her former friend (and anyone in between) destroyed.
>>13612330
He didn't. Hiroki did.
It's mostly because the game is focused through the view point of Theo and she gets way more focus. In a lot of the side material, Irisdina isn't the angel that Theo builds her up to be (iecutting deals with Axmann for information and a chance to kill Beatrix).
Katia (22%) and Mana (21%) won today's character poll. Expect to see their birthday pictures next month.
>>13610199
Is it just as formulaic as the rest of Muv-Luv?
Just asking.
>>13612410
>Formulaic
Hardly. Characters like Axmann keep you on your toes, the MC is paranoid and possibly crazy, the main antagonist isn't only one of the most attractive women in the franchise, but puts most of its male villains to shame in how evil she is (and never swaps sides like many attractive villains do), the rebels aren't shining paragons of virtue, and there's tons of backstabbing and second guessing. SM plays with a ton of expectations and it's a thoroughly crazy throughout.
>>13612434
>Beatrix
>Evil
>>13612296
I wouldn't mind Minami Tanaka as a guest.
>>13612444
Are we seriously going to start this again?
>>13612444
Even as a Beatrixfag, I can't say she is not evil.
She's definitely not wrong, but she totally is evil to anyone with morality standard ( Implying morality is a thing in Alternative ).
>>13612356
It's fine, I like how there's almost no completely "perfect" white angel girls in SM, makes them more human
>>13612467
Well, Katia is, and she tends to get crapped on for it in-story and out-of-story
>>13612472
Yeah. She's just too young to have anything evil going on about her. What will happen once she'll grow up though?
Provided she survive SM
>>13612459
Beatrix is pretty sociopathic to anyone outside of her small circle of confidants (in other words, anyone who isn't a Werewolf), but I'm guessing the environment she's in, with tons of backstabbing and a boss whose paranoid and wants her dead, another who is an actual sociopath and wants her dead, and a close-as-sisters former friend who betrayed her and wants her dead probably really fucked up her psyche
>>13612488

They actually ended up cutting out some of her screen-time in the transition to the VN, which is ridiculous because she didn't exactly have much in the first three volumes anyways.
>>13612528
>Cut content
WHY
Also I can't even hate Axmann when his VA is so great
>>13612548
Because of limited PoV. Expect to see scenes which don't directly involve Theo get axed in the second VN too.
>>13612553
But there ARE scenes in the VN that aren't from Theo's POV at all anyway.
They're just being lazy about it.
>>13612575
Maybe they're just saving up their Yukarin budget for the second game?

I've completely lost control over my life and will be moving at least once, probably twice, before all of the kickstarter rewards come out. will I be able to keep changing the shipping address or do I need to arrange for it to be forwarded?
>>13612838
They will ask for the shipping address when they will be ready to ship.
If you think you will move between the time you will answer them and the time you will receive the packages, then forwarding will be the best option. But considering they will probably send it via at least Airmail, it will probably take less than 2 weeks to receive it.
>>13612838

>>13613237
Well, the Yuuko giftbag was said to be shipped in December. I think it's more like January or February, as it will mark the end of the backerkit and they will have the final amount of goodies they need to make.
For the other goodies, I don't remember if they have a shipping date. Probably when Alternative will come out, so June IIRC.
>>13612332
well, remember the time they were both teachers...

That doesn't mean I don't like Beato, I'm just waiting for the proper route she deserves. It's simply impossible to have Beato has a waifu when she's basically non-existent in the VN.
And BiS don't count for me.
>>13613421>Just a dream sequence
For now
>>13613456
Cheburashka is cool.
>>13613469
>BiS don't count for me
Half the reason why so many people have recently started waifuing her rather than shitting on her for being a fappable monster is because of BiS. I'd argue it's one of the major reasons why so many want a Beatoroute.
Because girls don't get any more waifuable than prequel Beatrix.
>>13613469
Never noticed the beat-up stasi in the background.
>>13613497
Yeah but prequel Beato isn't adult Beato
Sure it explain why she turned so evil while showing her good side at the same time, but I think it's meaningless if the main story doesn't allow her to do the same.
I really hope Kouki will find a way
>>13613538
I really hope they are cutting scenes in the first VN to save budget and not cut anything in the second VN, so the parts where we learn than Beatrix is basically Yuuko as a pilot will not be forgotten.
>>13612652
Context check.
>>13613555
They're similiar, but Beato has a much more aggressive/fiery personality than Yuuko. She hides it just as well, but when it comes out, people usually end up dying.
>>13613538
Discounting the side material, the LN never really gives her any redeemable qualities. I think it's because in most of her screen-time she's dealing with Irisdina. If it were flipped and all you got was Iris when she was dealing with Beato, Iris would come off pretty negatively too. It's why you had so many people convinced she was a completely evil (lesbian) Axmann-tier sociopath. It didn't help that you had rumors about her being responsible for breakingLiseor having a rape dungeon for women.
>>13613538
>meaningless if the main story doesn't allow her to do the same.
Why would it be meaningless?
>Kouki will find a way
Well, Beatrix is his waifu.
>>13613463

>>13613901
>I didn't read the LN : The Post.
Also, see >>13602133 who summarize it pretty well, and other interesting posts in the last thread.
>>13613926
And have you read the LN?
>>13613928
Well yes, so I don't need to rely on other people posting hypothesis and the few verified infos we have from the wiki.
The Post line was because you seem to know hard what's going on when you didn't read it yourself, so what you know is what some people told you. Maybe it was a bit rude on my part, but don't act like that please.
Even if you're not into moonrunes, you can always do it the old fashion way, with a dictionnary ( Though it could take even more time than learning japanese as that's a damn wall of text, with my knowledges it took me months to read it entirely. I'm not fluent ( Especially when it comes to speak it ), but I can easily read conversations ).
>>13613942
There was that Animesuki spoilerfag, LunarChain, (which is where /m/ got their end spoilers for the longest time) from two years ago who really didn't like Beatrix.
https://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=112155&page=23
>>13613978
Oh yeah, I remember seeing this guy posts before reading it.
All he says is right as they are all facts, but that's a really, REALLY, big summary of the events. Globally it's what's happening, but there is a hell lot of discussions building the characters and the side stories up, so you can't really speak about a character, especially as complex as Beatrix, by just stating the big events happening.
>>13613978
Guy's not totally wrong, but gets some of the small details off (Karrel is Gretel's BF, not Iris's brother). Beatrix is complicated, and for every post over on Moon Internet that extols her, I could probably find another that decries her as the worse thing since syphilis.
She's Cookie's favorite, which should tell you something.
You think if there really is a Beatoroute that there'd be a scene where she let's you try out some of her cooking?
Just finished my Raptor and thought I'd share. I know there are a few painting issues on the arms, but they would have been a huge cunt to paint. Otherwise I think I did pretty OK.

>>13614238
Probably. That was not really weird with Selvaria as it was a kind of conventional war, but with Beato being in the Stasi, fighting in a civil war while the Earth is invaded by aliens who are even at the gates of your city... It wouldn't really fit to have this kind of scene, even if a Beato love route was a thing.
>>13614284
Well, you did have this scene in the VN, and Beatrix did say cooking was one of her favorite hobbies, so it wouldn't be too out of the blue. On the other hand, you've pretty much got all the points you've listed, and more.
I don't think Beato would really let you pursue her. Assuming she's apart ofLise'sroute, she probably wouldn't be keen on breaking her protege's heart. Only way I could see it happening is the same way it happened with Yuuko, with a ton of alcohol involved.
>>13614315
I personally don't see anything with Beatrix happening except as an optional thing onLise's routeand it'd probably be a threesome.
>>13614228

>>13614389
Well, we know Irisdina informed in the past. Apart from that, no stasi informers in the 666. Now, they're are members who are willing to cut deals with the stasi,Irisdina and Gretel in particular,which would be enough for Theo's paranoia to run rampant.

>>13614579
Note that even in French, that's really a bad way to insult anyone, especially the " Sois pourri " which would mean " Be rotten " ? I don't even know if it's a correct insult in English. It looks way too weird in French anyway.
Besides, it's bad as a translation ( If it's official ), it should be " Casses toi, sois pourrie ". But again, they are not really French insults, as nobody would say that.
Love how they translated " XXX " by " Batarde " too.

- I can't explain that well, but back in that time, German have their own dialects, etc etc, like Japan have kansai dialects & so on.
Because they can't understand each other dialects well, in the end they switch to French.

>Beatrix winning another strawpoll by a huge margin
Well, no surprise there.
>>13617360

>>13617401
Beato is Besto, after all.
I'm surprised Pham has more votes so far than Iris. I guess the whole Jurgen betrayal thing made her drop down a tier in many people's waifu listings. Too small of a voting pool to really make a statement.
I wonder how things would look once the anime comes out and the Reddit, Crunchyroll, MAL and Animesuki plebs get in on it. I doubt Beatrix would really be able to maintain her lead on the fanbase then. We'll probably end up with another wave of "Beatrix is a complete monster," "Beatrix deserves all the pain in the world," and "Irisdina is a perfect angel" type posts.
>>13617436
It's not like Iris actually fully betrayed Jurgen right?
Just like how Beatrix didun do nuffin?
Beato win from a design standpoint, and that sure helps a lot to get more votes from peoples who can't actually read the story.
>>13617672
We don't know the full extent of it but we do know that she never really disputes that she sold out her brother.
>>13617672
The translated portions of the novel make it clear that Iris did sell out her brother. In fact, Hannibal kinda implies to Mirai that it was her choice to go to the stasi. But then he turns it around to say that despite the contempt and scorn she got for getting Jurgen killed, she remained strong and has really made strides to redeem herself. The novel treats this as a good thing, and states that Iris is a better person for it.
Thinking about it, the original novel is very pro-Iris and very anti-Beatrix. Usually, when Iris flubs it's treated as well meaning, or she's a better person for acknowledging it and moving on, whereas Beato is usually portrayed as a monster whenever she acknowledges her fuck ups. Iris's flaws seem to get glossed over while Beato's flaws are hyped up.
I like how BiS totally turns the above on its head. Iris isn't so much of an angel; she's still a good person, but her flaws are more apparent. She can be very jealous, such as shitting all over Beatrix when she got a better grade than her rather than congratulating her like a good friend, and trying to guilt trip Jurgen into hanging out with her. Beatrix's positives are likewise played up.
Basically, the narration (mostly from Theo's perspective) is skewed in the LN, and you really can't trust it 100%. It makes things interesting and encourages people to form their own interpretation of motivations and events.
Why have all the TSF pilots we've met so far been officers (minus Marimo-chan who was a noncom)? Do enlisted mecha operators not exist?
It's not just eishi elitism either, I don't think we've been shown a single pilot of any other nation who wasn't at least a Lieutenant.
>>13617882
Well, that's based on airforce pilots. They are all officers.
>>13617895
But TSFs are operated by the army and the navy and the muhreens, not the chair force.
>>13617904
Yeah, but when you finish your training to become a pilot, you automatically become an officer.
That's like being in a Tank crew. They are all officers too.
>>13617849
Yeah, even in just SM it's very clear that Iris' flaws are glossed over, whereas Beatrix is considered a big jerk through and through. Sure, Iris was a Stasi informant but Beatrix IS Stasi, and we all know how Theo feels about the Stasi.
>>13617975
Beatrix is a huge jerk, but she usually tries to justify or rationalize it. I think it makes her more interesting than Iris, who *knows* she's right.
>>13617975
Now that you mention it, I find it a bit weird how Theo trust Iris blindly despite being so wary of her at first.
He decided to trust her, but unless I missed something, he never got any solid proofs (outside of her words and at least acting like his ally/working against the Stasi). The well known fact that she sold her bro was also never mentioned again after their little trip at Berlin.
>>13618046

It's kinda easy to put Beatrix in a bad light. She's by far one of the worse people in the whole ML world, and neither she nor the story try to hide it. It's refreshing that the story doesn't chicken out of making the very attractive female main villain as morally repugnant and unsympathetic as possible. No side switching, no falling for the male MC, no Freudian excuses, just a very bad person that the hero must physically overcome.
>>13612575
TE cut scenes that are from Yuuya's perspective so they could have fucking nobody voiced old Russian men prattle on against static CGs for 15 minutes, they really are just shit.
has anyone ripped character portraits yet?
>>13618492
I wish you understood how trolling works.
>>13618926
New sprite format is unrecognized by RioX, so it doesn't get ripped. It's the same issue that TE and Chronicles had when they were first released. You'll just have to wait until the updated.
>>13618946
Damn, that sucks. Thx for the info th ough
Has anyone ever extracted any of the SE present in Alt? I've looked around and no one has seemed to have any success.
>>13618946
Are we sure there haven't been any advance on this on the japanese side though ?
I can't believe that in all the ML fans, especially japanese, there is not a single programmer doing reverse engineering who have taken a look to the new files in two years.

The initial plan was to release both VNs by the end of Winter, so it'll be no later than February unless they have to push it back.

Not him but do they actually fall in love or is it just one sided from Theo?
Does anyone else find it a little odd that MLA Japan does not have their own nuclear arsenal, considering their close proximity to both BETA and communists as well as their enthusiasm for trying to domestically build anything they can to give themselves an edge over everyone else, like railguns and 3G TSFs. If Israel and India can do it why not Japan?
>>13620920
they do
>>13620970
I don't think even ultranationalist shitheads like the writers of such amazing things like the coup d'etat arc or Yuuya's whole character arc would go as far as to arm Japan with nukes.
Can anyone play Strike Frontier yet?
Can anyone do a quick layout of Schwarzesmarken arcs just so the curious have an idea what to look out for?
Same way TE had a brief list of arcs beforehand.
All I know about Schwarz so far is

All that happened to that guy after U04 got thrashed by the BETA was just a posting back to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in an office. Maybe even the Soviet cities in Alaska if we're lucky, far from the dreary streets of a direct support base where the weather is always cloudy with a chance of crashing MiGs.
Although, it might be best to stay at PK. Don't want to get too close to the Kremlin's nest.

Maybe he picked it up in the post-graduate level academy when he was a colonel, but the guy's pretty clearly mastered the art of standing perfectly still and looking alert, possibly while only partially conscious.

>>13620886
Irisdina would be the main girl. Even the first VN seems to push you towards her rather than leaving things more neutral. Lise and Katia would probably be the side heroines.
>>13620920
It's pretty one sided for a while, but Iris finally gives in. Theo's probably more in love with Iris than the other way around though.
>>13621283
alright here is the general outline for TE
prolougue arc: Japan begin its Siranui 2nd project in a joint effort with America.
1st arc: test pilots and their evaluation/support staff assembled. American test pilots gets their familiarization cross training on Fubukis and Siranui 1.5s. Inter-squadron versus training simulations.
2nd arc: Befriending the Russian espers. and more relationship melodrama and first signs of backdoor politics and conspiracies.
3rd arc: Kamchatka arc: joint Russian and US mission to cleanse the Kamchatka islands of its BETA presence. Also to field test the effectiveness of the Japanese railgun.(image related)
4th arc: the arrival of the first 2 siranui 2nd prototypes TSF. Official test piloting begins. International test team ranking(tournament Arc) also begins. teams coming from. US army, US marine, USSR, EU, Iran, Israel, UAE, Switzerland, China. Yifei and Sharon's debut(minus previous cameos and flashbacks). Alot of ass being kicking done by F22 EMD and Su-37ub. also Jelly every where. More politics conspiracy and backstabs.
6th arc: Terrorist arc: shit blow up everywhere forever arc. Terrorists within. BETA without. Cold War tension on the verge of going thermonuclear. the Russian psyker pulling a 300 spartan Thermopylae defense by themselves against oncoming BETA and wining. The day is saved and a Pyrrhic victory is earned through much ass kicking and political maneuvers. also of courseheadshot.
Oh, hey, the timeline on the wiki is getting updated with full info and proper references from IW instead of relying on machine guesslations from the Japanese wiki, I can't wait to see what new-
>"Western culture such as the celebration of Christmas does not penetrate Japan as deeply" changed to "Western culture such as the celebration of Christmas did not seep into Imperial Japanese postwar culture as deeply"
what's the difference, superior-chan
what's the difference
>>13621669
If we're going to be pedantic I intend to be pedantic as possible. What's the difference, right.
Isn't "seep" a more fluid descriptor? "Penetrate" makes it sound like the US forced Japan to adopt Christmas as part of the surrender conditions when it was really the long period of rebuilding and policy changes over the years that caused the shift towards "Westernism".
Any other complaints?
>>13621709
I just liked the term "penetrate". It suggests just how far up the ass Japan took it from MacArthur in real life.
Otherwise you're doing fine work.
>>13621669
To answer your second part, there really isn't anything new that isn't already up there.
IW doesn't cover anything pre-WWII which is the most annoyingly important part of explaining how the Empire got away with a conditional surrender and cockblocked the US from testing their sweet new toy on some saps so it's not like the book will tell you what actually happened during the Restoration-era.
>>13621729
>It suggests just how far up the ass Japan took it from MacArthur in real life.
... fair point, actually.
>>13621669
>>13621725
I would personally submit that this makes little sense, Japan should have started celebrating Christmas anyway even without Westernization, because even back then Christmas had already become not a cultural event but a commercial one, and Japanese businesses would have to be retarded to not take advantage of it.

So, did anyone got through and got download for Alternative Gun Hazard?
>>13618388
kek
the same shit happened to me
>>13621759
It was a combination of both due to the fact you now had hundreds of thousands of white people in the general vicinity because they rekt you and are helping clean up, creating a very large market for shit the white people like.
>>13618388
>[Irisdina's] design just doesn't do it for me.
Tell that to the Japs. We'll probably be getting 5 Iris doujins for every other girl. Also, If you're a Beatrixfag, you might be left with your dick flopping in the wind because it's going to be a while before a good doujin of her pops upif at all.
>>13622123
But Beato is far more popular
>>13622198
Iris is still number one over in Area Eleven. They got a thing for blonde bombshells.
>>13622216
>blonde bombshells
Literally the most generic of shittastes.
>>13622225
Okay.
>>13622225
Yeah. Irisdina has always been a great character and gril attached to a very, very boring design.
I suppose it's pretty normal for Japanese media to have boring heroine designs and great villainess designs (see Valkyria Chronicles).
>>13622237
Latrova isn't as generic looking as Iris.
>>13622250
Beatrix is also generic though
Beatrix's design kinda reminds me of pic related.
>>13622252
Not really.
>>13622278
Her any long black haired girl with red eyes, and there's a lot of those
>>13622288
Beato's design is about incorporating conflicting elements. She's extremely attractive, but not in the conventional way that Iris is. Her wild, unkempt hair lends her a feral look, and her aggressive demeanor and expression stands at odds with her stunning looks and feminine features like makeup, hourglass figure, and exaggerated nails. That's probably why a lot of people end up getting drawn to her design over Iris's, who tends to play things much more straight with her design.
Also, we see many more long haired, blue eyed, blondes in anime than we do red eyed, black haired girls.
>>13622342
Beatrix's design is god tier, but it's a major turnoff how she's such a vile, repulsive, and horrifying woman otherwise.
Irisdina's design isn't that bad, and she's a very likable person to boot unlike Beatrix.
>>13622713
fuck off theo
>>13622713
>it's a major turnoff how she's such a vile, repulsive, and horrifying woman otherwise
that just makes my boner harder
I'll glady shot civvies for her
>>13622719
But she is. The organization she's supporting shoots dissidents, murders whole families down to infants, abducts children to induct into itself, and runs concentration camps. She's a very, very bad person and only looks better because the people around her are even worse.
Iris is a genuinely nice person who tries to do her best despite being in a shit situation, whereas Beatrix is a shit person making a shit situation even shittier.
>>13622723

/m/ likes damaged women, not flat out evil. For instances, a lot of /m/ seems to really dislike Origin's portrayal of Krycilla, and she's far more evil in it then her original portrayal.
Notice how the Beato waifufaggotry and lusting started after they began running BiS, when Beatrix started accruing tons of sympathetic traits and hints of a deeply traumatic past. The worse thing for many Beatrixfags would be if BiS revealed Beatrix to be an absolute cunt from the start and made her the one who got Jurgen killed.
>>13622733
>Iris is a genuinely nice person who tries to do her best despite being in a shit situation, whereas Beatrix is a shit person making a shit situation even shittier.
Theo, please.
>>13622909
Are you saying Iris isn't a nice person when compared to Beatrix the Bitch.
>>13622909
>>13622719
Erich, bitte.
>>13622915
Of course she is nicer than Beatrix ( Though this could be debated, you know, Germany before World and that kind of thing ), but she is clearly not plain nice.
>>13622925
>Though this could be debated, you know, Germany before World and that kind of thing
