Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait...
I recently got around to getting a Nicovideo account. So I finally got a chance to watch some gameplay vids. And at the end of Signum's path... Spoiler for SPOILER:
Who would have thought... O_O On other news, Dark Piece Hayate is, as many others said before me, CUUUTTTEEE~~~!!! She's all... How do I say it. Playful. She approaches Signum and asks for a match, saying something along the lines of, "Let me show you how strong I've become with the others' help." And she does it ADORABLY. Signum's awkwardness in that conversation is lol-worthy too, since she couldn't quite turn down Hayate's request even though she was a fake. (Well, she tried. But Hayate did some childish insistence that made Signum cave in.) XD The round against Reinforce was the best, though. Spoiler for SPOILER:
And what does Signum do? Signum: Stop what you're doing and prepare to fight. Reinforce: What are you- Signum: Just do it! And after the fight, Signum goes on to scold Rein like a stern big mama. poor Reinforce could hardly even get a word in. And of course, after Fate comes in and has a little talk with Reinforce, Signum does her crowning moment of funny: Signum: Reinforce, come here for a second. Reinforce: ? *BOING* Spoiler for pic:
Signum: You big idiot. Reinforce: Leader... it hurts... Fate: Ehh? Me: *melts* Sanae Kobayashi did great as Reinforce. It's nice hearing her talk outside of the battle in A's/in casual situations. And with that, back to watching for me. ... Is what I'd like to say. But ironing out my job applications come first. *sigh* Students sure have it nice... EDIT: Page claim for Hayate and Reinforce. Oh, and Signum too. >:3

They do. But I guess it's some sort of side-effect from the reverse Unison with Hayate or maybe the Unison ability was deteriorating in the first place and that's what might have caused the high amount of strain on Hayate after the final battle. I'm not sure. Aside from Nanoha's and Fate's routes (that had no data to provide about Reinforce's issue) I've been only able to watch the second half of Signum's story and Reinforce's final battle. Actually, for the latter...
Spoiler for Spoiler for Reinforce ending:
I guess I should try searching for the first parts of the stories to get a better grasp on the big picture. Though that certainly sounds time-consuming. I heard A's Portable is one big overlapping story... S-shamal, w-what do you mean leave the house to you guys when Hayate's too tired?! You're not thinking of cooking, are you?! *rewinds the vid again to listen to Hayate's, "Nnh~ Darui~... Karada ga omoi~!"* By the way, is Reinforce speaking in archaic Japanese or just speaking in Keigo (polite/formal speech)? I can't seem to recognize some of her other terms...

I think listening [and playing] through one character's story mode would easily take me 30 minutes, even though you probably get 10 minutes of actual game time. It's been way too long since I've played and my memory is crap. orz Quote:
.... DARK PIECE HAYATE. T___T <3

Query: Is anyone translating this game? Asking since work is finally winding down to normal levels, so I might try to take a crack at it since I want to have more than just a rough idea of the story line (though I won't touch the opening narration due to its lack of written text)

.... Yeah, no one seems to be doing it, so it's up for grabs? To be honest, I don't know the grammar structure of Japanese, so I'm completely useless here. I'm able to edit anything and sort of refer to the Japanese text - mock TLCing, really.

Done with Nanoha and Fate. And I finally found a series of vids with Hayate’s storyline in it. And I must say, HAYATE IS SO CUTE~<3 It's a freakin joy to hear and watch more about her beginnings and training as a Mage Knight since all we've ever got from the official series was ONE short track in a Sound Stage where Nanoha and Fate were tutoring her for flight control and then StrikerS completely shafted her. But I'll stop here before I make another very long rant about her treatment there. Anyway, back to A's PORTABLE. Seeing Hayate now as an official mage makes me a happy little swirly. >@3 We FINALLY get to see how she was as a kid with magic powers and how her personality developed after getting to that point (It was never seen in detail due to the timeskip in the original timeline). Suffice to say, I feel Hayate is easily the one out of the three Aces with the mindset closest to that of a nine year old. Fate's story had a lot to do with her 'weak' heart and how Nanoha and the others give her strength (Considering all the sh*t she had to go through, I can't blame her.) while Nanoha's was about learning the reason why she uses magic. (Seriously, Nanoha! That's almost on the same level as 'my reason of living' that emo teenagers and older people think about.) As for Hayate, she's also very mature for her age. But she still shows a lot of childish traits. Much more than the other two, anyway. Spoiler for Quick review of Hayate's storyline:
As for a summary of how Hayate was portrayed, I'd say she's the most childlike of the three Aces. She's mature, yes, but she also oftentimes showed an appropriate amount of naiveté (to the point of silliness at times) suitable for someone her age. What I particularly like was how important her family is to her was shown through her actions and words. She's the Mistress of the Night Sky and she shows the dignity that befits her title. All in all, she's an extremely fun character to follow. Her Kansai accent is really charming here with her mandatory cute little girl tone (I love it when her tone goes affectionate... ). Having Reinforce tag along (She didn't fight because she was still injured from the final battle of A's.) for commentary and exclamations due to Hayate's actions was an added bonus. Sanae Kobayashi is now one of my favorite seiyuus. <3 Seriously, where did all this personality go to in the original timeline? Hayate almost showed more active personality in thirty or so minutes of gameplay dialogue compared to the ENTIRE StrikerS franchise, anime, manga and Sound Stages combined! What the heck, 7Arcs?! So this is what you have been keeping from me for years now?! ONOREEEEE!!! Okay, I won't rant... I won't rant... *takes a deep breath* Anyway, I didn't intend for the review to be that long. If I get the chance to watch Reinforce's and Shamal's (Yes, SHAMAL. Why? Why not? Shamal has been becoming more and more interesting to me lately.) storylines, I'll probably make a review similar to the one above as well. I only hope I can find the vids in Nicodouga, though. >< Quote:

By the way, I noticed that they flunked the ENGRISH again by having Raising Heart say Dark PEace instead of Piece in the dialogue script. XD It really fits Dark Peace Hayate. ;__; Oh... err... Sorry for my insensitivity. >_< *pats LVD* @Thread: Aaanyway.... Let's talk about the Materials for a change. >:3 Is it just me or does Material-L gets the least love out of the three Ace Doppelgangers? She's the only one with no CG dedicated to her disappearing or appearance (at least none that I've seen.) She also seems a bit on the dull side since I saw a vid where Shamal manipulates M-L's pride to get her to spit plenty of important data about the enemy. M-L sounded rather PWN'd there when she realized how much she blabbed. XD Out of the three, Material-S is my favorite. I like her polite speech pattern even more than Nanoha's. Hearing Yukari Tamura using a deeper tone reminiscent of Rika from Higurashi or Bernkastel from Umineko is a big plus. >:3 And her final attack chant is one of my favorites in the series: Tsudoishi negai ga... arata kagayaki hoshi to naru. Hikari satsu michi to nare! Synchro Shoukan!! Hishou seyo, Stardust Dragon!!! "Tsuidoi, akaboshi. Subete yakikusu homura to nare! LUCIFERION BUREIKAAAA!!!!!" (Anybody knows what this translates to...?) Anyways, off to sleep I go. It's already past 2 in the morning here...

FUCK YEAH, WOLKIES. Yeah, it really pissed me off how they were more alive here than in A's and StS and godammit, I want more Zaffy. T_T;
And yeah, haha, everyone in the Nanoha series for the most part.... So mature for their age. :V Also lol, yes Nanoha is very competitive. <3 Quote:
Anyhoo, I like Material-L because she's not all quiet and reserved like Fate. Material-S makes me nosebleed for certain reasons. And to attempt to TL your last thing.... 集え、あかぼし Gather, morning star, 全てを焼き消す焔となれ! And incinerate everything! ルシフェリオン、ブレイカー! LUCIFERION BREAKER! Uhm yeah idk ~5 hrs of sleep + I've been fagging all day but hey you get the Japanese to play with.

You simply could have asked me.
Hayate story part 1. Hayate story part 2. You need a Nico Nico Douga account to watch the, though. Quote:
