Looking for an anime game somewhat similar to the Galaxy Angel serie (especially for the combat part).

Any suggestions, /c/?

homeworld?

Sounds good, even if it's not anime. Thanks for the tip.

If you do play through Homeworld, here're two words that'll help you throughout the game:
Salvage. Corvettes.
Because they enable a key and very fun strategy, specifically:
Grand. Theft. Starship.

Huh, so this GA game is an RTS? I always thought it was like Freelancer.

There's game footage floating about on YouTube; I think the appropriate search term would be 'Eternal Angels'.

I guess you could call it a RTS, but it's not really a "strategy" game, since you don't build units. In some battles you get to command conventional ships in addition to the Emblem Frames, but the ships you get in a particular battle are predetermined by the plot and it doesn't matter what happens to them (well, Lester tends to kvetch if you get them killed...)

p.s. OP, you got your /v/ in my /c/. But I suppose anything GA is relevant to /c/'s interests...

p.p.s. This thread is now about Vanilla.

So it'd be more like Ground Control, where there're only so many units you have available for any given mission.

I figured /c/ had a better chance of knowing what the game is about.

Yeah well you get the mothership Elle Ciel, the 6 angel frames (which get stronger when the pilots like you more, since it's also a dating sim), and a variable amount of allied cannon fodder. There's a torrent for the game on Hongfire, if you're curious. The english version isn't out yet though.

Also, anonymous fully approves this thread hijack.

Waw! Nice graphics! But there is no way I'm ever going to be able to play that game before either being fully fluent in Japanese, or it gets translated! They are always talking!

But ehm... are they actually killing people? It's kind of... to have such cute and kind girls remorselessly killing people... It just feels wrong. Very wrong.

Actually I played through 2 of them with nearly no japanese. When you choose something in a conversation, as soon as the girl speaks there's a good/bad chime so you know if you went up or down. Save before choosing and you're safe.

About the violence: There are some exceptions, but they don't kill people. Nearly all of the opposing army is actually unmanned (robotic) ships.

I wanted to upload another vanilla pic but the uploading is full of failure right now :/

The in-battle radio chatter isn't that important; the girls are mostly just saying things like "Target in range, commencing attack!" But you can't rely on the chatter to tell what's going on, since stuff tends to happen much faster than the girls can speak :)

>When you choose something in a conversation, as soon as the girl speaks there's a good/bad chime so you know if you went up or down. Save before choosing and you're safe.

There are some trick questions, though. In Mint's chapter in the first game, you'll miss half the chapter (and have nearly no chance of getting onto Mint's route) if you don't make the right choices in a certain conversation, but there's no chime to tell you whether you got it right (because you're not actually talking to any of the Angels in said conversation)

There's also one spot in Forte's chapter where the answer that results in the "bad choice" chime (for all five Angels, no less!) is actually the correct answer--if you tell the Angels what they want to hear, you end up flying into an ambush unprepared, and the girls will be REALLY unhappy about that (plus the ensuing battle itself is rather difficult)

Thank God! I was beginning to think I would never play this game because of this. I'm against violence. And I personally think death and romance don't mix. I can't see how I could possibly fall for a girl who just killed a bunch of people, even if it was for a good cause or whatever. I girl like that just has no soul.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd much rather understand what I'm saying, and what they are saying. Since this is a dating sim, aren't you missing the point of the game if you just... guess? How can you get the feelings of romance and stuff like that if you just look at the pictures? "Oh, cool, she looks happy, I must have said something nice!" -_-;

Is this thread can be about the supporting /c/ast of the GA games, plees? I like Almo--she's got a cute squeaky voice, and girls with short hair are <3 But I can't find any pictures of her...

The bosses do get killed for real though. And in Eternal Lovers there's an omake mode that lets you pilot the ship directly, although controls are VERY confusing (I never got the hang of adjusting my cruising speed) and you get disoriented easily in the space battlefields with no 'ground' as reference.
