Wow. It's already out?

I gotta go hunting, if you know what I mean.

'sup Kaname & Kyoko?

yeah, I think I saw the professor too(forgot her name:P)

She's in it, but she probably isn't useable. The SRW games have A LOT of NPCs that appear just to move the story along.

haro's got it on the head. Kaname, Kyouko, and Kagurazaka-sensei are right there in the beginning of the game, but they're not playable (Why would they be...?

) and that's how far I've gotten to at this point.

I think I saw Jindai too.

Or it seems like just an ordinary school, but a man can dream...

OH YOUR GOD!

RADRAD, I wish you good luck in winning the game if you are using Full Metal Panic! AS, if that's the way the game works.

You can select the M9 along with two other mecha before the game begins (the M9 being the only available FMP unit, other units include mecha from Brain Powerd, Mazinkaiser, SPT Layzner, G Gundam, and a load of other series). I assume it effects the course of the game's plot.

Just asking, for anyone who's played this and understood the plot: could I have a (reasonably detailed) story synopsis?

I don't understand a thing...

Appropriate links are also welcome.

I don't have it, but from reading the FAQ it seems like the missions are pretty Nadesico-focused, and it's basically 'super robots vs military robots' for no apparent reason, and with both sides more or less equal.

Holy @#$%. A FULL METAL PANIC VIDEO GAME HAS BEEN WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! Someone on another board gave me this pic of Bonta-Kun (I don't know where it came from).

i have finally found a reason to get a GBA!!!!.... its Japanese????... ok forget it then =D unless there is proff u can play it in america with out the japanese letters... then no =d lol

Yes, it's japanese. However, the GBA is region-free, so you can play it on an american GBA.

You won't however, be able to read it. When it comes to SRW games, playing the missions isn't too hard if you can't read it... it's the upgrade intermission parts that become troublesome... (if you can't upgrade, you're going to get owned in coming missions)

Balikbayan_Boy · Post by **Balikbayan_Boy** » Thu May 04, 2006 4:04 am

anyway for them to make an american version? or does it need to get popular first like Initial D?

Well, Atlus is releasing Super Robot Wars: Original Generation & OG2 later this year, but you won't see a regular SRW in English any time soon, reason being that with all the series that you're borrowing robots from, getting the license for each and every one of them is well-nigh impossible.

No, this part is where you choose your "favorite mecha series". The only thing this does is to raise the upgrade limits for the mecha by about 30-40%. It does not affect the storyline in any way.
