Nanoha A's Portable - The Gears of Destiny [PSP Game]
 

So, can we get a new thread for the second Nanoha game set to come out next year?

Haven't heard about it. Is there a link?

just read a little about it. showing that it will be announce at the next Lyrical Party.

It's going to include characters from Vivid and Force. I guess it's not a continuation of this game.:(

I'll miss the Materials and Reinforce. And Hayate's combat skills

Was it said what genre it will be?

I liked the combat system in Vivid, let's hope the game is just like that and nothing like Force and it's "negate all" skill.

I assume that the Huckebein won't have their insane levels of Hax like in the manga, but at least i imagine them having some sort of it(casting temporary immunity, regenerative lifebar or pierce damage) and, of course, fighting against fully haxed versions of them on special stages(much like CPU Reinforce).

Don't you mean Reinforce played by certain friends who knows how to be really cheap?

Yeah, but the main thing that balances out "cheapness" while perserving character diversity is speed. Battle of Aces used "stamina" as the axel bar instead, which...doesn't work. Since every character's dash covered the same daistance over the same time, Reinforce just runs away and Nightmares you.

In the anime they have, for example, Fate going at really high speeds (relative to other characters) and a strong speed factor would greatly advance the combat system (in my opinion at least).

If I were to guess, maybe they'll have a field with multiple characters playing multiple positions (center, left wing, right wing, rear guard, healer, etc.) and make it like a tactical combat interface such as the one seen in Vivid chapters 14-16.

In face, I'm sorry to say this, but I'd prefer if they left Force out of it. I just don't see how the Huckebein would fit in. I'm not sure how they'll get Force's Biology and Pure magic (the infections and the "negate all") to mix with Vivid's Martial Arts and Sci-fi/Set magic (Magic with rules and classified levels of power). I mean, can the Huckebein block Einhart's Falcon Punch? (I think not ;) )

I'm... pretty sure they'd make them balanced and simply treat it as a fighting game. Given there is a decent chunk of time between Forces and Vivid, having the two in the same game makes it seem like it's just a fan fighting game, not meant to be taken very seriously. But who can say.

That's not what happened with Battle of Aces. >_<

Well, as balanced as everyone else is what I meant. :P I don't think they'd make the Force characters several times more powerful than the Vivid characters (or whoever else they wind up including). Personally though, I hope they continue off of the Aces continuity, or make a new one, I find them interesting.

I will be amusing to see how they try to create a story where Einhart & Co. blend with the Huckebein xDU. (applied phlebotinum to prevent their anti-magic powers to reach hax levels?).

Bah! Their anti-magic powers can't touch Ein anyway, since she doesn't use that cheating "magic" stuff in her Shotokan Kaiser Arts. ;)

She can just break her hand punching their Eternal Healing Factor bodies...

Einhart will just kill them with one hit. So much for the healing factor. >_>

Nanoha A's Gear of Destiny is the name of the second game. Yes, apparently it's still called A's. lol. The betting pool may now begin on what this means for the inclusion of Force/Vivid characters. Apparently they said two new characters, no comment on the Materials.

Information subject to correction when it's not being reported by a random guy on 2ch furiously posting from lyripa4.

Probably as secret characters or a time paradox story?(then how the hell they will prevent the Huckebein from curbstomp everyone(save Reifnorce Eins ...maybe) in A's?

It is part of TBoA Timeline?

I'll make a few guesses about the game.
Judging by the title "Gear of Destiny" and the inclusion of Force/Vivid characters. It is right after tBoA and that one of the new characters is the Big bad whom did not like the fact that this timeline is diverging from the original timeline. Reinforce being alive is the biggest factor.

So the new Big Bad arrive to this timeline with the intent of finish off Reinforce once and for all. He/She/It will also have the ability to summon fake Force/Vivid characters similar to the "Dark Piece" from the last game.

Maybe the Materials will show up again helping out our heroes since they'll most likely be following the Defense program's order to prevent Reinforce from dieing off for real. That if we are still following the old enemies = new allies next season trend.

I'm wondering if the any real version of anyone Post-Strikers is going to arrive. I would like to see Vivio meeting A's Nanoha or anyone meeting a Battle Ready Hayate.:)

The 'Gears of Destiny' image having the symbolism of a clock ( time ) and gears probably implies that whatever logic that will allow A's characters to interact with characters from 10+ years later ( Force/ViviD ) era would be... time travel or time distortion plot.

Being a fighting game and established as non-canon, it has the liberties to play around with nonsensical plot bunnies and things Tsuzuki wouldn't dare try due to its cheesiness. ( fanfictioness )

Now I wonder what kind of voice actors the Vivid/Force characters will get.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SayakaOhara might be appropriate for Cypha, if she used a voice similar to Beatrice's.

GEARS OF DESTINY will produce by BANPRESTO, right ?. Is this a good sign for Nanoha series (especially FORCE) to appear in SRW ? Or maybe Nanoha game with SRW's style in the future ?

I just noticed that myself.

If it's Banpresto...

Well, it'll be a great game at the very least.

Cypha with Beato's laugh? ...it sounds deliciously chessy ...and i want it xD

え？アミティエ？キリエ？何？ｗｋｔｋ

orite, friend that said she'd look at Hayate story for the PSP game to translate is sort of busy translating SonoHana8 still. And trying to get a job. :cOOOH, OOOOOOOOH. I already put down my favourites for Force, but I'll just put down some people for ViVid....

Force doods:

• Touma: Abe Atsushi Irino Miyu > Toyonaga Toshiyuki > Kakihara Tetsuya
• Lily: Iguchi Yuka Hanazawa Kana > Chihara Minori Toyosaki Aki
• Isis: Satou Rina Tomatsu Haruka if Hanazz is Lily, Kitamura Eri if Minorin is Lily
• Steed: Fukuyama Jun > anyone because mini-Bakapard (ry
• Nuns: Koyasu Takehito > Tanaka Rie > Inoue Kikuko
• Veyron: Yusa Koji > Maeno Tomoaki
• Stella: Hanazawa Kana wwww
• Cypha: Watanabe Akeno > Minagawa Junko > Kaida Yuko
• Deville: Inada Tetsu > Yasumoto Hiroki, Suzuki Tatsuhisa if Maeno is Veyron
• Fortis: Ogata Megumi because not even God(ry > Saiga Mitsuki > Yuuki Hiro
• Arnage: Fujimura Ayumi? Kitamura Eri? Koshimizu Ami? Not sure because I have no idea for Arnage right now, really. n_n
• Karen Curren: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE EVEN LOOKS LIKE, SO I’LL SAY SHINDOU NAOMI OR ITOU MIKI OR SAWASHIRO MIYUKI.
• THE BOOOOOOK: Iwata Mitsuo please. wwww

ViVid doods:

• Ein: Endou Aya? Since Fate sounds "old" when she's 9, why not mirror that with Ein~
• Rio: Satou Satomi or Mizuhara Kaoru
• Corona: Kanemoto Hisako > Itou Kanae? www

Yeah, don't think anyone else might appear.... But if they made an anime~

Claus: Sugiyama Noriaki Would probably re-use a voice actor.
Olivie: Kawasumi Ayako .... Would prolly re-use a voice actor and it actually might be Kawasumi Ayako.
Miura: Hirohashi Ryou? Total seiyuu jokes if you pick Itou Kanae. Marunage <3
Shante: Honda Mariko LOL.
Harii: Yuuki Aoi
Victoria: Chihara Minori, hands downnn.
Jaquilinde: Kobayashi Yu would be ultimate troll.

Why no Abe Atsushi?! I would love to spot hidden B-Gata, H-Kei jokes sprinkled between Nanoha and Touma with everyone else confused as hell!

aers it's not nice to hide things.

I also should not play Bind Breaker in public. And I forgot to grab 2k PSN card while in Japan. щ(ﾟДﾟщ)Actually, it's more like look at the other two strike'd out people for Force leads.

Iguchi Yuka = Index -> Touma~ Touma~ onaka hetta~
Satou Rina = Biribiri ヽ(｀･ω･´)ノ

Idea's been in my head since the beginning of Force, way before BGHK cast was even announced.

I would also like to see Vivio's reaction when she realises her mom's almost the same age as her and Nanoha's reaction when she knows that she's gonna have a kid in the future. Though if any actual person from the future actually gets pulled back into the past, I don't see any reason why the current cast in A's won't get massacred by the one person who got summon from the future.

DO WANT!!! I mean come on who wouldn't want, Fate with Bardiche in Zamber form doing Thrudgelmir's Zankantou Inazuma Juuryoku Otoshi.

I just hope they don't forget Yuuno and Arf again. And if Rai returns she had better get scenes with Fate and Signum.

Some early information:

- Fate has Sonic Form available
- Hayate has a new ACS Maneuver (what. the. hell. lol.)
- Nanoha has a new "explode everything" attack called Hyperion Smasher

Fate didn't have sonic form in the first game?

If Rai returns, then she should get some make up time compared to how badly shafted she got in the original Battle of Aces. And Nana Mizuki better step up her performance compared to her lackluster portrayal last time.

Would be nice if this Rai constantly broke the Fourth Wall but I guess there's only so much I can wish for.

*shrug* I don't remember.

This is the line in question about the 2nd game:

"ソニックフォームにチェンジ可能"

Looks like Sonic Form available to me.

Yeah, Fate never had Sonic form in the first game.

.... and I'm often called Rai/rai so it's weird seeing.... ya, wot brought aboot that name for her.

Would be a ridiculously awesome meme-ascension though.

I doubt there would be so many Vivid characters in the game :heh:. But hey, if the manga sales do well, maybe 7Arcs will be tempted to turn them into anime form ;)

I'm not familiar with Sugiyama's other works, but the voice of Emiya Shirou is too unfitting for a king. Junichi Suwabe would be better IMHO :p

Wait, have Kawasumi Ayako voiced someone in MSLN before?

Having one character voiced by Minorin would make my day, but I think she would be more appropriate for Shante or Jacquiline. Kobayashi Yuu should be Victoria instead :eyespin:

Ixpellia and the Mariage in SSX.

And IMO, Koshimizu Ami should do Einhart.

Damn I was so hoping for the announcement of the new game to be a platformer(Particularly on the Nintendo Wii since that system was featured in the First Movie), but another PSP game isn't a bad thing. I'm really hoping they change up the fighting system, because I remember when it was easy to be cheap as hell in the first game and just spam one attack.

Yes Fate never had Sonic Form access in the first game. I'm looking forward to Hayate's new ACS maneuver. And I'm pretty sure that this game is going to include a hell lot more Bind Breakers, so I better get my money ready for that. xD

I wonder when preorder details for the special edition will be announced?

I AM SO GETTING A PRE-ORDER LYRICAL BOX THING IF THEY DO IT AGAIN. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU DLC.I hope you realize that anything I strikeout that involves seiyuu are seiyuu jokes. Saber and Emiya, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Suwabe is pretty cool. I think he's too manly for Claus. Really thinking they'd re-use like, Sugita or Nakamura here. Maybe even Midorikawa or Hiyama, lol.

omg, they should totally re-use Nakata. THAT'D BE AN AWESOME BIBLE OF THE SILVER CROSS RITE THAR.imho, KobaYu is only good when she's batshit insane — ie - those moments we see with that girl in Zetsubou Sensei, Amazon in Arakawa, Mariya in Maria Holic. Did you see B Gata H Kei? Did you hear her as Kyouka? щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

And this is Minorin as Kyouka. Also, Touka from Saki was brilliant. Minorin nedz moar snobby ojousama so she can use that shrill voice of hers effectively. (ﾉ´∀｀*)

Nanoha would sooner appear in Endless Frontier than SRW

OH GOD YES!!

Nanoha's Divine Buster alongside Haken's Last Showdown!! i want to see that! (or a special move with Nanoha and Weissritter combined xD!).

...and now I suddenly want a Claus/Olivia special OVA just for the sake of Suwabe/Kawasumi epic. Having their story retold from the perspective of the lolis just doesn't do justice :heh:

Nakamura? Then perhaps re-use Nakahara Mai as Olivia for the sake of another seiyuu joke? :p

Damn, I'm missing a lot. I never remembered Nakata playing a role in MSLN!

Kyouka is insane :D

But yeah, KobaYu made a poor Setsuna...then again personally I think everyone was miscasted

anyway, which characters has been officially confirmed to be playable as of now? Still no luck for the Ferret?
