![]() ![]() The choices you make have only a minor impact on the story, and after going back through it to see what would happen with all of the opposite choices, there's basically no difference. Clearing it to 100% after the first character was brutal.Īlternative is extremely linear. I'd suggest making choices that seem like they will maximize time with your favorite character and to play Alternative before going through the game again. It's done to plant seeds for Alternative and it makes sense now in retrospect, but it drags on a LOT when playing for 100% and felt like a big fuck you from the writer to the fanbase IMO. The endings are all EXACTLY the fucking same, to the point that it doesn't feel true to the characters. There is no reason to play the game more than once unless you want to see the H scene of another character. Instead of event A happening with character A, you could manipulate it into being character B with enough of the right choices, but the differences are minor. All of the routes are the same and the choices you make have almost no impact on the story. AyuMayu Theater will make far more sense after you play Alternative, so wait on that one. Watch Second Season is you want, and watch Akane Maniax after you play Extra for a chance to see some Muv Luv characters in anime. You should actually watch it before playing Extra as one of the characters from Kiminozo has a good amount of screen time. I would say watching the TV series is absolutely necessary. As it is only in the beginning of being translated, and is one of the longest VNs of all time, it's probably not an option if your kanji isn't at JLPT level 1. While we're talking about the world of Muv Luv Extra, this happens in the same world as Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. It answers a nagging question I had throughout the VN as well. I also loved the "bad" end with Marimo, which I thought was awesome and wouldn't call a bad end at all. Why? The characters introduced in these routes will show up in Alternative, and their appearance and roles will make far more sense. I would still suggest you play every route in Extra. From a storyline standpoint I actually liked Tama's route, even though the thought of doing an H scene with her makes me throw up a bit in my mouth. ![]() There are three other routes in Extra, and honestly, even though I like Iinchou and Ayamine a lot as characters, the story they decide to tell is largely something I didn't want to see. In order to get access to Unlimited you must clear the Meiya and Sumika routes in Extra. To start with, the first two games of the series, Extra and Unlimited, are packaged together. How much you read before Alternative is largely up to you and your preferences. If you have any other questions let me know. I talked about this in some detail with another forum user so I'll copy/paste what I said for your convenience. It is very much a series of extremes, the good is very good and the bad is very bad. Extra, Unlimited and Alternative all have their strengths and weaknesses. There is a lot to like and a lot to dislike.
