What does an Unstoppable Destroyer need with a "Material of Power" organ, as Levi is allegedly supposed to be?
Also, is this basically the end of Yuuno's contribution to the story? I notice that lacking Catridge Systems doesn't stop Chrono and Hayate from participating. |

She doesn't get a Cartridge System. It's because of the fact she has a book that acts as one device, her staff as another. And Reinforce as her Unison. This gives her an advantage as she is much stronger when Unison with Reinforce. Thus during one of the last battle matches you play as Unison Hayate-chan.

Sorry for the wait! I got kinda lazy in between so there's a few hours delay. But here's Sequence 7!
Unlike previous sequences, Sequence 7 have 2 parts, namely Side-R And Side-P. The reference should be obvious once you read so without further ado, action start! MGLN A's Portable: THE GEARS OF DESTINY Sequence 7 Spoiler for Side-R:
Ugh... *sniffs* Yeah. Side-R is a tearjerker. But it doesn't end there! We still have... Spoiler for Side-P:
*blows nose hard on a napkin* Ahh... The Testarossa family... Never before has it been shown how tragic their entire story is... This game is BRILLIANT storyboard-wise. Sad things aside, I am no longer sure if I can continue writing up Sequence 8 right now. In a few hours, I'll be heading back into the province where we don't have a computer. I can't bring home this laptop so I'm gonna be left with just my phone to access the internet. I guess I'll be able to pop up every now and then to make small posts, but the Sequence summaries will only resume in early January. I really hope, you guys won't mind. Anyways, thanks for reading my reviews. I haven't have this much fun in writing for a looonng time! And of course, it's a little early but HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! >:3

For one thing, she shouts "Final/Last Spark" instead, like Fate does when throwing the magical spear at the end of a Genocide Shift attack. @Laith: Given how Linith's device sparkles each time she swings to attack with it, I'm fairly sure she's using a spell to enhance the physical force behind it. There's no other way those brushing strokes could hit that hard. Last edited by Sunder the Gold; 2011-12-29 at 17:29. |

Sequence 7 is one example... It's definitely a touching mini-story that fleshes out the depth in the less-developed characters, but post-humous character development via graveyard extraction is... sketchy to execute, to say the least. But on many other points... This was what I wanted out of ViviD, darn it!

As for sequence 7... well, it's really not that much different from what A's pulled. Only building on it. Sketchy, but it worked. I'd even go as far as to say that the events in sequence 7 are far less out of place than the dream sequence in A's. |

Wholeheartily agrees ToT
Linith is such a likeable character and a good, and caring fighter too. The game implied that she manage to fight various battles and keeped herself togheter as a Dark Piece out of sheer willpower. The scene of her farewell with Fate and Arf almost broke into tears(it i sawed that animated probably i'll be a moping man by now T-T). Precia is great, i liked that the game acknowledged that her SS rank wasn't just for show as she indeed have tremendous power(again, interdimensional lightning attacks able to cripple entire TSAB cruisers). She's obviously a Glass Cannon but much like Hayate, you don't want to be in the path of one of her attacks. Her cold/obsesive attitude was ahndled ina very interesting way and her late realization was a nice and tearjerking touch(ahh.. scientist, they always seem to forget the most important-yet-simplest of things until it's too late xDU). Again, amazing Job Aaron, it'll be hard to find another stuff to keep me and my weird mind entertained but i'll wait for your return, those reviews are very well done and this story is incredible. I must admit i was skeptcial about this game but you convinced me of liking it xD! See ya. P.S.- Levi, Levi, Levi xD! You mischievous little devil, you're great xD!

I agree with Zero No Ichi.
What's the point of an interplanetary setting if you're not going to make use of the fact that the characters can travel to or come from different planets? There's no need for alternate dimensions or time-travel. Those things are just cheap. And removing any possiblity of further interaction between the three Aces and the Materials Three strikes me as dull and uncool. Also, can anyone tell me what Stern said to piss Yuuno off before their fight? |

I guess you can't really do major character development when their stories are still on-going, but you can't argue that they could have used some fleshing out at least a little. |
