Dark Side Of The BETA War | Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse | Wrap Party

Welcome to my capstone conclusion of Muv-Luv Total Eclipse!
Sometimes a branching narrative of a greater universe struggles to stand on it's own are relies too much on previously successful content. Total Eclipse is one of the rare exceptions where the story and characters are strong enough to hold their own while maintaining their connection to the core story from Alternative. It's a masterclass of expansionist world building and character development that I have way too much t talk about. Sit back for this one, I get the feeling it's going to be a long one!

As mankind races to create new weapons to turn the tide in its war against alien invaders, Yuuya, a hot-headed American pilot, is assigned to work with a beautiful but cold Japanese officer on a top-secret project. Can they learn to work together in time to make the weapon that saves us all?
This is another well received addition to the Muv-Luv universe. Time and time again this Universe has pulled me head over heels into a world of humanity facing inhuman foes. The characters and the wars they fight both without and within. I have played through a majority of the Muv-Luv series and side stories.

4 hours! Sorry couldn't make it due to work and timezones. Thanks for the ride, see you in other videos.

[@TheBlueShifting]

No worries, I wish I could stream at a better time honestly but I really don't have any other availability.
Hope you enjoy the stream, even afterwards. I'd love to know your thoughts!

[@LanceOfHeaven]

Don't really have too much too add outside of what is covered in the stream and the other titles, other than do check out the Kyoto add on story!
If there's one thing I do disagree on its the read on Weller's character. The investigation on the XFJ Programme was by the DIA which is hell bent on not letting top secret tech leak to Japan, and they are ready sink US-JP relations to do it. They did know that the active stealth systems and JRSS was installed in Yuuya's unit, and the planned testing by the Infinities would have doomed the project for certain.
The opposing faction from the CIA, which Weller belonged to were opposed to jeopardising US-JP relations (the main goal). Weller IS manipulating Yuuya to carry out the CIA's goal, but it is not so subtly alluded to that he is trying to aid Yuuya as much as he can due to some relations with the General and Bridges family, while towing the party line without them being the wiser. In the end he offered Yuuya the option save the XFJ Programme, and a way to save Cryska (remember our boy was ready to storm the Soviets solo) and provide protection after the fact.
When Yuuya broke from the plan, he stalled the CIA from immediately dropping the net on Yuuya and put a positive spin on his actions. Like Sandek, he already succeeded when he got the Shiranui 2nd away from DIA, and whatever outcome happened was acceptable, even Yuuya going Awol. Yuuya does appreciate the bone Weller had given him at the final chapter, even if he knows he is being used.
Regardless, all the events put Yuuya in place in Kamchatka to save Operation Cherry Blossom in the end. The beautiful strangeness of fate in the franchise.

Schwarzemarken is a prequel that is, from what i heard, just extremely bleak. I'm not sure how enjoyable it will ultimately be but i'll still buy it if they bring it out.
Then we still need to get "Resonative". The final part of TDA that will, if the pattern i see holds true, lead directly into Takeru waking up at the beginning of Alternative with JUST enough of his memories to make the difference. I'm sure even that little change will take a massive toll on the TDA cast but it must happen...
And finally we should get "Integrate" where we get a true sequel to Alternative that will "integrate" all the side stories. I look forward to watching all those new characters being brutally murdered. 😐 (I hope they will make Akane the protagonist!)
And i'm being a broken record if i state Yui is best my girl because she's a humble badass with skill, brains, integrity and UNBEARABLY INTENSE TSUNDERE ENERGY.
She's up there with Kurisu for me. Much alike too, if you think about it.
As for Yifei, it's just a personal preference for me that very extroverted love interests, wile certainly wonderful, would drain me of all mental energy in a couple of minutes if i were to actually hang out with one IRL.
(Thats why Estelle will never be my "waifu" either, even tough i adore her immensely.)
