    It appears as the Japanese interpret the saying "The children are our future" as "The children are our leaders". Sending the kids to their certain death always seems to keep them and everyone else alive somehow. I'm not saying I hate it or anything. I just wish someone dared to steer off course once in a while for some variety and surprise. But I don't question it! Promise. ;)

      No doubt. And they would’ve done the developers proud with an awesome edition. Alas…
      I wonder how expensive it really is to translate the text to English in these types of games versus the profit that could be had by sales to the seemingly growing import community. I was very bummed out when I heard some time ago Level 5 was basically abandoning the western markets over lackluster sales. I chalked it up to the boring taste in games by your average western consumer (shooters, sports, shooters, sports, endless iterations of franchise shooters and sports!) so I was surprised to find out they are also struggling at home in Japan. They make fantastic, fun, well crafted games, what gives?

    I hope Level 5 pulls themselves out of their apparent hole and I wish their developers all the best...but unfortunately, I don't think this will be the game to save them. Especially since it shares more than a few aspects of its story and gameplay loop with VanillaWare's magnum opus 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. And objectively there's absolutely no way it can compete with that title. I hate to be "that guy", but honestly if any aspect of Megaton Musashi interests you then I'd be remiss as a longtime gamer and anime fan if I didn't tell you that you'd get a far superior experience in nearly every measurable aspect from 13S:AR except the mecha customization. Megaton seems to have the edge there.
    And, if that weren't enough, 13S:AR's 40+ hour campaign is FULLY translated and VOICED in English...
