The End of the World

So it's the end of the world today.

What is everyone doing to stem the apocalypse?

For myself, I'll be stopping Mundus from coming through the gate into our world. What threat will you save Earth from?

SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 7 Prologue

I actually had to re-record this stage 3 times. I'll put the details when I upload the actual stage gameplay later.

There a few notes for the prologue:
 - Preventers are a secret special ops group created by the President of the Federation government to prevent any seeds of conflict from blooming. It's from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz.

 - PS armor or Phase Shift armor is a special type of armor that make the unit impervious to bullet type weapons. Lasers will still damage the armor though.

 - Assault shroud armor is an extra armor for the Dual Duel Gundam. It was originally used to repair the Dual Duel when it got damaged while capturing the unit in SEED series. It also adds a shoulder cannon.

And here's the video:


Update: Fixed the spelling mistake with Duel Gundam.

SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 6 Epilogue & SRW UX

Final part of stage 6. I've got to say...Murrue is kind of a bitch. I mean, she's smiling when she's telling them their lives are screwed and I assume she's still has the gun pointed at them.

Nothing to note for the translation here. Although I always thought dialogues in brackets were just inner-thoughts of the character. I guess it can be thoughts or murmurs depending on the situation.

Here's the video:



On a side note, it would seem the 3DS will be getting a new SRW:



But I'm kinda disappointed with the battle animation. the 3DS has the graphic capability to surpass the PSP so I don't understand why they didn't reproduce the beautiful graphics they had for 2nd SRW Zs. It just seems like they were planning on making it for the DS and then decided to put it on the 3DS without any visual upgrades. It doesn't even look to be on par with any PS2 games.

The series line up for this SRW is interesting though (except for SEED Destiny...) and at least they do have voice overs for the battle scenes unlike the DS SRW's.

The biggest issue I have is actually not with the game. It's the fact that the 3DS is not region free which really pisses me off. So most likely, I'll probably pass on this as I don't intend to own two 3DS. Especially if it's just for one Japanese game.

SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 6 The Beginning

The stage gameplay is pretty short but this stage has some pretty long event dialogues. If you've been collecting skill points by finishing the challenge missions in all stages so far, this will be the first stage where the difficulty will change to hard. If you don't want it to be hard, just ignore the challenge missions and keep getting gameovers and restart a stage. Just remember you won't get the true ending without getting the skill points and keeping your overall turn count low.

Gameplay wise, it's not a very difficult map. Especially if you've been upgrading the Soleares. If not, you'll want to use the spirit commands and use Creuset as well.

The second part of the stage after completing the objective is a bit tricky as you can lose just from the pathetic Ginn's getting killed. You'll notice I just moved them away from enemy range so they don't get in the way and the enemies will all target me. Mu however, will ignore you and keep attacking Creuset. The stage will end if you take out Mu.

On the point of translation, there isn't anything to note. I do have to say I kinda enjoyed translating the part where Kira re-writes the OS. They use some interesting terminology there.

Here's the video:


Still uploading with 260 minutes left. Will update when finished.
