WAUGH.
Well....
I caved in and bought R-Type Tactics.
I've managed to beat Mission 1, but past that I have NO FREAKING CLUE WHAT I'M DOING.
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Perhaps this wasn't a good investment after all. But I'm pretty confident FAQs and stuff will start cropping up sooner or later, most likely later.
In the meantime, I'll just flail around and lose half my guys. Who all have endearingly American default names. I guess my fanpilots are really not that far off. You know, like Daniel.
Edit:
Huh! Sooner it was! Also additional translation info that is making this even more win:
- You can capture Bydo units and either use them in your forces, or use them for parts to upgrade your own units.
- Some Bydo have regenerative functions, like Bydo System Alpha (this is a bit confusing from the standpoint of Final, since Bydo System wasn't 'developed' for regeneration, only Amphibian... however, considering that Bydo System is distinctly part of the Bydo Forces, it is probably more advanced than the ones the humans managed to get running).
- Two-player modes allow the player to use both Earth forces and Bydo forces (!!!), and can even initiate Bydo-versus-Bydo battles. D:
Awaiting menu translation info so I can start finding these things out for myself~ <3
Edit 2: A couple gripes.
- LOADING TIMES FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING AARGH.
- What's with the whole fleets-of-five thing? I'm kind of annoyed that all the R-Type ships have 1 HP each, while things like POW Armor have distinct HP sets. Also, Forces are counted as singular when attacking by themselves, but when equipped to a 'ship', they suddenly multiply by 5 for no apparent reason? What the Hell? XD I like that it is implied that they have advanced AI (with names!), though.
