As long as there is an explosion, I don't care. I would prefer an ending with Kaname and Souske(All the othes could die for all I care), but at this point I just want an end.
Didn't somene say the author said the three Muskateers wouldn't die? That leaves Kanama and Tessa. Maybe Souske will have to choose one. |

Chidori hated sad endings, but hey, she isn't the writer the story.:P And Gatoh is well-known as being a liar.

well, I hope that you are right. However, I would like to know what happened to Leonard... I keep hearing rumors, but I don't know anything.
Edit: Bye the way, Ravyn hasn't updated their LJ in over a month. Does anyone know if they are still OK? They have kept a pretty consistent update record of at least once a month, so I find it more than a little strange that they haven't updated at all...

Hi everybody! First of all, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year!
I've been following this thread for over a month, and I spent the last 3 days reading it, so now I'm up to date! I'd like to say thank you to each and everyone who's posted here! Quote:
I really hope Ravyn updates soon, but didn't she say she needed encouragment to keep translating BOF? I know that was about 2 moths ago, but perhaps she hasn't gotten over it yet.... darn, I really wish I knew Japanese!! soooooo.... are we really getting the whole NOT novel on feb 20? I don't know if I want to be really happy or really sad about it *hopes for a happy ending!* |

LMAO @ the Excerp from TMMD
My guess is because the Laevatein lacks alot of the new technology it will make Sousuke trainer harder and become a superior pilot in an outdated machine. In essence the lack of this equipment will make him better because he will learn to deal with these issues without the fancy extras of the M9. Thats just my theory and throwing it out there. |

... Why does he even need any of that stuff? If he's got an oversized cooling system and his Lambda Driver, what could he possibly need anything else for? Missile comes, blown away by Lambda. Cooling system cools Lambda. Rinse, repeat, insert impossible action scene, Sousuke is now unkillable. I can't see the electronic warfare being of any use if all he has to do is blow up enemies. He could probably blow a platoon of AS away if he has such a powerful system. Besides, he's getting a ton better at controlling it. He was pretty much invulnerable until Leonard came with his ridiculous system.
Spoiler:
Anyway, I'm sorry to keep asking these questions, but I am REALLY curious, since I don't know Japanese. I've picked up a couple (5) books that are commonly used to teach Japanese, so I'm going to try and teach myself the language. It'll be interesting. :P My English literacy will probably drop dramatically. |

The image is from the 7th part of MMD when the novel has been serialized.
Spoiler for MMD part7:
Spoiler for MMD part9:
It's true that with the LD most of the electronic in the ARX-8 is not really useful but Sousuke activate the LD only when he need it. If he don't know a missile is going to hit him he won't be able to react in time. I think that the author has decided to remove some of the electronics in the Laevatein to put Sousuke in a situation where he has to work in a team, right now he can't do an infiltration with the ARX-8 because of the lack of ECS, on a battlefield he could be shot down by a missile if he don't have another unit to give him the situation and the worst thing is that if an enemy pilot simply start using the ECS he will be unable to find him except if someone give him the position of that unit using the ECCS. But Sousuke could do exactly what AL said simply use a data-link between the different M9 to replace the electronic that the ARX-8 lack. The data-link used by the M9 is very efficient for example in COMO Mao was able to control 10 M6 without to much trouble. |

IT'S ALL CLEAR NOW! Thank you Miles. I've been dying to know what happened to Leonard for ages now. Thanks for all the help.
Edit: Just finished reading the MMD spoiler. Thank you guys so much for all the work you guys put into it. Also, there's another point as to why the Laevatein is virtually unstoppable. Extra appendages for the AI? Dear God. It's as if the Laevatein has two pilots. You can't stop that sort of machine. Even the Behemoth-i falls at its hand with ease.

But I agree that it's intentional to make Laevatein super-powerful but lack of such stuff is to promote their squad battle instead of a OMFGWTFBBQHAXPWN unit to finish all stuff. FMP=/=recent Gundam series, afterall.
