Type Moon Ace Vol. 10

[dhaval_fate]

Okay, as far as I know the Melty Blood manga adapts the real route only, so the serious bits of the game, and probably the most important stuff if you care about the theorical canonicity of stuff for discussion or shit like that.

That's only for the original game, though, and I don't think there's any manga adapting the events of Actress Again (the second game)

- - - Updated - - -

Oh and also there's another manga adapting one of the joke routes in MB (or was it the only one? Haven't played in a while) but you probably don't care about that

What?! Actress Again doesn't have a Manga adaptation ? Is Actress Again important though ? Or is it just a rehash of the original game ?

[Pillzman]

Well, the only story in Actress Again is the arcade mode one, so it might be a bit lacking in substance to be considered important, probably; It does have some concepts and stuff that sometimes pop up in discussions so you might want to get familiar with the gist of the stuff that goes on in the game. There's no full translation of it though, so you might not even want to bother with it (there'll be one sooner this year iirc, with the official steam release).

- - - Updated - - -

Oh and I don't think there's a manga of the arcade mode story of the first Melty Blood game either, but that one IS fully translated. The arcade route story on this one takes place some time after the events of the story mode, just so you know.

So in that case I will start off with the manga then, there are 3 : Melty Blood, Melty Blood Act 2 and Melty Blood X(something related to the joke route). Then after that I can play actress again later this year. Right ?

[Pillzman]

Mostly right, I'd advise to stay away from Melty Blood X if you want to remain unspoiled of Actress Again stuff, 'cause it's a completely original joke scenario which uses stuff from Actress Again.

Act 2 is just one of the joke routes of the original game, related to Shiki's non-character (although I guess she became one at some point?) sister.

- - - Updated - - -

So basically Melty Blood manga, then Act 2, then Actress Again and then X. Oh, and maybe check out some of the alternative routes from the original game to fill the wait for the steam version.

Ok thanks a lot for the advice. But the Actress Again game isn't that huge in game time right ?

If you mean actual time playing, then it's not a lot, infinitely less than the time you invest in reading a visual novel, but you'll have to play through the arcade routes of multiple characters to get the bigger picture of what's going on, probably.

- - - Updated - - -

If it's anything like the first one, then you can have an easier time clearing through the fights in between story parts by setting the AI difficulty to the minimum level, making the 'grind' faster, I guess.

Ok, thanks !!

Volume 11 of TM Ace would be released after March right ? If that's the case then it will possibly contain a lot of information from the AnimeJapan expo which takes place between 25th to 27th of March and a lot of info related to fate, along with a new fate project is gonna be revealed there. So we will need to keep a close eye on volume 11 then.

It used to come out in Dec-Jan. Last year got pushed back for Grand Order. So who knows.

Hmm. Lets hope its right on schedule this year.

Hey guys, page no. 236, 237 and 238 had some messages from Urobuchi, Hikarou Kondou and Narita respectively. Did they contain anything important ?

[Broke]

"Urobuchi-san, how was Bloodborne?"

"It was fun, but Narita-kun kept dying."

"It's not my fault that riflemen are bullshit."

Haha.. nice banter there. But anyway I did just a little bit of translation and Urobuchi was talking about some sword, religion and some more philosophical things. Will have to check the rest of them later.

Thanks a lot man ! I searched this thread and the web and didn't find anything. Do you have links to Kondou's and Narita's messages as well ? Also, do you have links to Narita's entire interview as well. I have translated a small part of it, but it will be very helpful if someone has already translated it.
