【ニュースキャスター】「昨日午後の訓練は、総会会場のあるケリー州ディングルでのテロ発生を想定し、国家人民軍第411大隊が中心となって行われました」
[Newscaster] "During the exercises yesterday afternoon, under the premise of the meeting area at Dingle, County Kerry, coming under a terror attack, the exercise was held, with the NVA 411st Battalion playing a central role."

【ニュースキャスター】「すでに会場周辺にはシュトラハヴィッツ派の支持者が集結しており、訓練は騒然としてた空気の中で実施されました」

【ニュースキャスター】「また、ドイツ民主共和国のエクハルト事務次官は、今回の定例総会では東西統一については検討されないと発言」
[Newscaster] "Also, Vice-Minister Eckhard of East Germany had no statements in this round of scheduled meetings concerning east-west unity."

It's always to the land of dreams, isn't it? And the ideals.

Ideals are our chains, and our fire.

I guess it's an interesting segue into the present, the trilogy, and all that. It's just I feel this could have been executed so much better.

It's kind of interesting that he ended up with the complete opposite conclusion of Beatrix. Beatrix wanted to stand there and fight, but Theo wants to run away. No wonder at their very core they disliked one another.
>>
>>149210399
Eh? What are you talking about? If we're talking the future, Beatrix has, it seems at least, rubbed off on him.

Theo didn't care much about running anymore because he already saw the price paid for that.

My first fanfiction since I was an acne covered kid who didn't know better. I'm with this guy >>149209468. I feel dirty, but it's the good type of dirty.

As he slept, the boy had a dream.

He dreamed of his princess, with her sad smiles trapped in a high tower surrounded by a city of lying streets, crooked people, and treacherous shadows.

He dreamed of how he’d whisk her away from her cage like a knight from an old fairy tale.

And they’d run away from all their troubles, to a beautiful cottage nestled in a verdant valley between a glimmering lake and a picturesque forest.

There, with the mountains overlooking them, he’d take her out on the lake, and in the midst of rowing, he’d tell her in his most exaggerated romantic voice that all the beauty around them could not compare to her. And she’d blush and stutter furiously, like she always did, before reaching over the side of the boat, and throwing the cold, wet-

-Water hit him. The boy jumped up from his cot, gasping for breath like he had not taken one in years.

“Sorry for the rude awakening, but as a general, I can’t be kept waiting for too long.”
Across from his cot, another sat, hunched forward with his hands folded between his legs. It took a second for the boy to place the warm paternal voice and wizened face.

“G-general Heim?” incomprehension written on the boy's face.

I posted >>149217091 earlier. The ML-related content of mine is several hundred pages long already, backed up by thousands of pages of previous work. Perhaps it's best not to even talk about it, since it's not a public project and will never be publicly released for a variety of reasons.
>>
>>149220275
Martyrs change anything at all for you?
>>
>>149220573

A bit, but nothing really severe. Might add even more feels and healing process as a result, but the series already has somewhere it's more or less going.
>>
>>149220275
>>149220885
SM is real fanfiction fuel though. Did you know that there's a ton of Japs and Chinks writing about it? The Chinks even have a forum filled with SM fics here: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=muv%E5%90%8C%E4%BA%BA&ie=utf-8 and then there's some of the longer Jap fics like "Schwarzesmarken: Extra."

Will there be any art of Anett and Farka being friends?
>>
>>149221291
I'd be surprised if there's any fanart of any werewolf.
>>
>>149221198

I'm very much aware of that. However, I added ML/SM to my ongoing series which I've been writing for a very long time, and has a much different life of its own, so to speak. The result is both unexpected and surprising, or so I've been told by the reading circle I actually release it to.
>>
>>149217434
Because no matter what the route is, Beatrix will always remain the dragon Theo must slay to save the princess.

Bea's own knight in shining armor never made it to her unfortunately.
>>
>>149221568
Axmann was the dragon he slayed in Lise's route, Beatrix and Iris's conflict was less the focus.
>>
>>149221694
The only time their conflict is played out well is in Irisdina's route.
>>
>>149218509
So they try to gangbang her in all routes but Katia's?
>>
>>149221773
So who's the better pilot, Irisdina or Beatrix?
>>
>>149221773
That makes sense, different character's major conflicts are given their best spotlight in different routes.
>>
>>149221824
Yeah, but they only succeed in her route.
>>
You fanfic fags have made me think seriously again about my Axmann out to help Make America Great Again fic. I had planned to do updates well over the summer, and react it according to what happened irl, but fic writing fell off the rails.

With Martyrs, considering how slimy Axmann is, we knew he was bad, really bad, and really nothing in Lise's route would be out of bounds of what we had already speculated, but seeing it in the flesh is a little damaging.

Beatrix still gets to have the most abrasive personality of all characters. They want you to hate her, even when objectively seen she is almost as pitiable as Lise. But then again, we see everything through Theo's eyes, who simply is utterly incompatible with her anyway.

From the same scene. They're smiling at one another. It's kind of weird, but they actually seem to enjoy working with one another and have this great interplay/camaraderie when they do. They even do a bit of banter back and forth. Actually, Iris's route humanizes Beatrix quite a bit and shows why she's a badass commander, enough so that the 666th protect her from the rebels and later mourn her when she dies.

Yeah, and then in Lise's route, Iris puts her down like a dog, no regrets. It's funny what changes routes have.

In Lise's route, she and Theo actually kill 666th members, whereas she kills nobody in Irisdina's (except for Katia, and Beatrix wasn't really responsible for that), and they kind of rekindle their friendship by the end anyways.

If Beatrix hadn't been so flippant or taunting about the whole Lise situation, then Theo probably would have stayed on board with the Werewolves.

>>149224633
Beatrix tells Theo that Iris would likely hand over Lise to Axmann (which he denies in his head), which then segways into the next scene and has Iris doing just that.
>>
>>149224681
Because Theo just came from a rebel associated squadron moron, they all have to watch each other its mandatory, Theo has a lot to hide and Lise would be guilty by association. She was saying that even in the stasi you're friends can inform on you. Why are you trying to twist this around. And yes Theo would start to think not everyone in the stasi are bad, theres Lise for your example right there.

And that's an open secret. All those that accompanied Beatrix in her attempt to arrest Katia, know which unit he is from. And all of them with half a brain would notice the first time that they see him pilot, that there is only one unit you could get such a skilled pilot from.
>And yes Theo would start to think not everyone in the stasi are bad, theres Lise for your example right there.
There is filial bias at play there. He could easily think, "all of them are monsters, except my imouto".
>>
>>149224864
You're not saying anything. Theo has rebellious thoughts and tendencies, he even goes through with them to an extent in that very same route. He needs to watch what he says because and I repeat myself in the stasi even you're friends can inform on you. Also you remember how Theo felt about Iris at the start of the first VN? Remember how that point of view changed over time? Just because someone is associated with the stasi doesn't mean he will always hate them just for that. You're way off base.

Why do they even try to play her death off sympathetically when they write her like she's just so unsympathetic? I know about BiS, but it's not really elaborated upon, and we don't ever see any good qualities. She's just extremely unlikable. If SM existed in a vacuum, she'd come off as more unlikable then Axmann in most routes, which is ridiculous. It's the fact that she can't act nice, she's always smug, taunting, and horrible in every way. She goes out of her way to be evil when she can. It's like if an edgy teenager wrote a villain.
>>
>>149232694
It's because of Theo
>>
>>149232717
Yeah, I think her and Theo are incapable of getting along. There's just something in them that makes them hate one another on a personal level. Beatrix bullies Theo when she can and sees him as being the "enemy of mankind", and Theo thinks she's worst then the man who killed his family and tortured his sister. Even the philosophies they end up developing are completely opposed to one another.

Beatrix hates Theo because of how easily he sold out Lise when he was captured. Betrayal and disloyalty, especially from family or loved one, is something Beatrix considers to be truly heinous. He's also the anit-Jurgen; so she'd be reminded of Jurgen whenever she sees him, but then sees how he falls short.

Theo hates her because she's the representation of all the evils of the stasi in his mind. She's always antagonizing him or playing off of his fears. Her ideals are are something he's revolted by, yet he's unable to defend his own ideals in the face of them. Like him and Jurgen, Beatrix is something like the anti-Iris (BiS makes this very clear), so Theo would be going through the same process when he observes her as she did with him.

Beatrix is also just not a very likable person. You'd be forgiven for hating her guts if you didn't know why she's the way she is. She's a suicidal, hollow, murderous loon who absolutely hates everyone around her and sees them all (herself included) as kindle for the BETA war. I mean, think about how much it sucks to be around a depressed person, amplify it by 100, then make the depressed person a complete bitch too. She comes off as extremely sadistic (or at least callous) and unpleasant unless you're Iris or Walther.
>>
>>149233482
>She comes off as extremely sadistic
only in the anime
>>
>>149233537
It's still there, even in the VN. Or I should say, she seems sadistic because she's always acting smug or jovial, even as she does all her stasi duties. She's even smiling right before Theo rams her with his knife.
>>
>>149233614

>>
>>149233614

>>149233646
I'm saying she seems that way, especially to Theo.

To his credit she is hard to understand since she is putting up a smug facade to hide her saddens end emptiness. Even most people here on /a/ don't understand her. The only parts when she stops acting and tells what she wants and how she feels are her death scenes.

She'd show up in chapter 2. I'm working off of an outline, so I have a rough idea of what I want the middle and end to look like.

Suffice to say, once Lise gets involved with Jurgen, all hell is going to break loose. I mean, if Lise were to get a hold of some "dangerous mementos" like she tried to with Katia, and then sends them back to Beatrix, how would Beatrix react? She wouldn't be able to pass it off as just someone who looks eerily like Jurgen hanging around Iris (she'd just see it as Iris being a siscon again). Beatrix would have to accept that there is a strong possibility that Jurgen is alive and well.

Now insert yourself into Beatrix's position. You've been shat on your whole life, and then the one ray of hope you had was taken away from you. You're wretched, miserable, unloved, suicidal, and pessimistic. Now, up pops your "dead" raison d'etre, the one person who you've structured the shambles of your life around.

>Why hasn't he contacted you? It's been five years? Doesn't he love you?

And what's more, why is he in tow with his supposed executioner/your arch-nemesis. What sort of conclusion is your unstable, warped, self-loathing mind going to jump too?

No, but there will be pain before healing. Jurgen's willing to risk everything for Beatrix; surely his faith in her would be rewarded, wouldn't it? Perhaps a gamble in a confrontation where he bows his neck for her fangs would be enough to make her to listen...

Because all Jurgen really needs is to get her out her MiG and into his arms. Everything else would work itself out after that.

Lise beyond a doubt. Everything about what happens to her is beyond fucked up, and the only ending where she doesn't just suffer and die is still a hard fought victory with an unimaginable amount of pain she had to go through just to find it. And thats the "good" end.
>>
>>149242176
Lise probably hedges Beatrix out, but Beatrix is no slouch in suffering. I think the difference is, Lise doesn't deserve any of it, while Beatrix inflicts a lot of it on herself, so the death she gets at the end of each route is kind of deserved. Basically, Lise gets inflicted by evil, Beatrix subsumes herself in it because she can't see a way out.

Lise.

All the other girls had, at one point or another, choice.

Katia chose to go to East Germany, despite all reason, because of an idealistic notion. Iris and Beatrix, though they had plenty of shit happen to them (some of it rather cruel), chose the pursuit of their own ideals.

Lise did not have the luxury of choice. She was robbed of it, along with her innocence, her family, and happiness. And unlike the others, she isn't pursuing some idealistic vision that requires a change in society and how nation works; she just wants her onii-chan back.

If there is anyone that deserves some fate-given recompense, it's her. Simple as that.

don't know. but she wouldn't be coughing blood if she had leg injuries. maybe internal injuries? but there isn't a scratch on her body or bruise.

I have a suspicion that she had some kind of terminal illness she dies at about same time in every route.

Yeah, but we never see the injuries, especially for Beatrix. Missiles hit them, Iris survived, but Beatrix did not. It'd be nice to know how she's damaged, because from the CG, it doesn't look like she's injured that bad, which hurts the impact of the scene. Showing injuries isn't just for sadism or shock, it's to build up sympathy too. Like penetration/bash; where was she stabbed or bashed in such a way as to allow her to continue a conversation. Guess Kouki doesn't want to show us his waifu getting mutilated or something.

Kind of also stems from the overall problem that TSF vs TSF combat in Martyrs looks like ass. Like I still can't determine how Farka dies in a couple of routes. Like I know she does, because she's there one scene and gone all the scene afterwards.

Well it depends on what is considered a "friend"

Probably Beatrix still though. It's really hard to overstate just how abrasive Yui is. Here she has somehow managed to piss off the entire Argos crew, even the eternally bold VG. Even the unflappable Vincent. And even the Stella.

That takes real skill right there.

She is very antisocial. she was basically isolated from her peers till she was like 15 when she met Irisidina and Jürgen.
The only person she could really talk to before that was her mother and she died early on.
So she is very lacking in social skills and couple that with her indifference since she got betrayed and you get a person that is hurting very much and doesn't know how to reach out.
And the only thing that's keeping her alive is a promise with her lover that she wouldn't kill herself.

Can someone here help me out, since none of the fucktards at /vn/ reply.

I wanted to download MuvLuv from erogedownloads and I know the speeds are shit. I read the guide and it said jdownloader could help. I downloaded it and everything's running, but I don't know how the fuck to use it to help speed up downloads.

All I figured out so far is how to input a link.

Also, I'm on w10, so do I need daemontools?
>>
>>149244811
age has gone to shit ever since ixtl owns them.
>>
The VN is kind of a middle ground between the LN and anime. It leans closer to the LN, but they do sometimes give the anime precedence. There's enough changes where it can be considered it's own thing though.

I remember a lot of you faggots doubted me when I said that they'd go and canonize anime events over LN events (like Lise's capture was her chasing down Theo with Farka, not them falling into a trap going after Heim), but age always does this. They aren't like Type-Moon, who stick to their guns mostly. Age'll retroactively do this too, like they did with KGNE. It's why I continue to oppose having a Trilogy anime.

>>149244811
No. Most people are comparing it to the anime, and they're thinking this is pretty good, which it is. It's not like they are playing for Katia's route anyways. I do see some complaints over on Baidu about the betrayal in Lise's route however. People do see it as a cop-out.

Again, I don't think you understand just how abrasive Yui is. She literally only has one "friend", and that's a cousin or something, so technically they have to talk. If Stella had written Yui off for being a turbocunt, Yui never would have been able to learn to form any bonds.
>>
>>149244983
>I remember a lot of you faggots doubted me when I said that they'd go and canonize anime events over LN events
Because there was good cause for doubt. They didn't adapt all the anime changes and the changes they did make are more than likely due to the cost of the voice actors.

You need to keep in mind Age does not have money.

It might depend. On if we're talking in private or if we're talking they'd be in public. She might prefer someone whom is gentle in public and somewhat hot blooded, dominating, it might be visa versa in private, who can say, might be the first choice, might be the second.

Yeah. Beatrix is supposed to be extremely charismatic, so much so that her men fight for her, not the state. I mean, that's a statement right in the very first book. She's always with her men, doing the absolute worst jobs, but it doesn't translate into the VN very well.

They did keep Farka freaking out and saving Lise, but that was in Irisdina's route, not Katia's, so I'm thinking they shuffled LN and anime bits into the different routes.

No, that General states that her only daughter is about as old as Katia. Assuming that she had her kid in the 21-35 range, and that her kid is 14-16 (about the same age), that would put her at about 35 to 51years old. So yes, she could realistically be about the same age as Latrova.

Also, want to make another reminder and state that Beatrix and Iris would age just about as well as Latrova too.

Beatrix is such a cocktease character. Hottest character/design in SM and you'll always kill her.
Shallow, asshat personality implied to be a mask covering a much deeper character with mystery and intrigue is revealed to be her actual personality.
She never diverges from being a shallow, asshat bitch, unless she's dying and then it comes out of nowhere.
Ideals that aren't elaborated upon and implied to be bad, but then those predictions she spiels is validated by later stories.
Never actually find out her plans and why they must be stopped; just that she's a douchebag so she must die.
Overall confusing character.

Her plan is to turn East Germany into a militarized fortress to slow the BETA. I don't know how that's a bad thing in a war for survival, but apparently it is. They don't spend a lot of time looking at her plan, but neither do they look into the rebels much besides regime change (SM has the fallacy of saying good people = good rulers/plans and bad = vice versa; which chafes the Trilogy when you have characters like related). The fact that people still debate this isn't proof about how grey things are, it's proof that it's not very well written. Beatrix is mostly villainized through her actions and behavior, not her goals, but then, the rebels aren't very good from that standpoint too, but they're treated as the good guys.

I think a lot of it comes down to it being from Theo's perspective, and he's kind of a well meaning, willfully ignorant shithead (who's now the villain and is trying to kill pic related, ironically).

That's the deal, no one ever counters her, even in Irisdina's route. They just call her evil, and say that she must be stop. If they actually brought up how her plan is infeasible because fear is not enough to motivate people, or talked about how their plan (which is kind of terrible when you step out of the story to look at) works out better then hers, then we'd have a better conflict of ideals setup with better motivation.

But you know, I guess it's kind of realistic that soldiers don't debate with words. I guess there is a statement too in how much synergy Beatrix and Iris have when they're working together rather then against.

"If the two Germanies join forces, then even the BETA won't beat us"

There, that's it. And it's not like Beatrix didn't request the aid of the West anyways, because they show up in the finale.

Beatrix was confident because of the West.

If her plan was just "ddr is stronk" no one could defend her.
>>
>>149252346
>"If the two Germanies join forces, then even the BETA won't beat us"
ISNT THAT PART OF BEATRIX GOAL? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK THIS IS MAKING ME MAD

She needs military support from the west for her plan to work, thus germany will become one (militarly speaking since the only ones that will effectively fight alongside east germany in the trenches is west germany since they speak the same language)
>>
>>149252499
The west in Beatrix's context is the United States. Her plans would probably lead to a German reunion though.
>>
I kind of wanted to see Beatrix's plan go through just to see it all go to shit anyways. Or maybe things go just peachy.

The fact that Beatrix never gets to implement what she wanted isn't an argument for her ideals, but it certainly is a condemnation of Iris's/Katia's. In any case, the big problem is is that her plan doesn't sound that unreasonable, which when coupled with her end speech coming true, makes her look even more justified. Like the Trilogy established, you can be a good person doing things that make you and others feel good about themselves, and still be DEAD wrong in the long term.
>>

>I kind of wanted to see Beatrix's plan go through just to see it all go to shit anyways.

Jurgen has no real problem bending his beliefs for the people he loves. He created, trained and became the leader of the 101st to protect Beato.
>>
>>149252566
Ofcourse the US is important since they got the industrial muscle but the one of the most important thing East Germany needs is not just equipment and resources but manpower to fill the vast trenches of the oder-neisse line. The most effective way is to use west german soldiers since they speak the same language which simplifies communication and control.

And this will result in germany getting closer and more unified since now german blood is being spilled trenches defending all of germany, West and Easttogether in the trenches defending german land. And Beatrix will be the center of this, she will have the leading role turning germany into something greater and stronger.

All of germany's soldiers will unite under one will and that will be the one of Beatrix.

Why do I feel worse for Beatrix then I do Lise?

Lise endured more hardship, and she is far more unwilling then Beatrix to participate in the Stasi's machinations.

But then, Beatrix seems like the narrative never gave her the chance that Lise was given. Beatrix would always be the villain. Unlikable, detestable, repulsive, and closed off. She'd always die violently, slain heroically by the protagonists. There was never the possibility of being saved, redeemed, or even really given much of a moment of peace. The narrative barely ever treats her as a victim or tragic villain, electing to portray her as more threatening, terrifying, and villainous then Axmann and Schmidt even. I guess it just, feels "wrong," especially after BiS.
>>
>>149257636

Sure, his ends aren't that good (but only if you have hindsight), but he's nice to the people around him, cares for them, and even mourns them (unless in the anime). Compare this to someone like Beatrix, who's a terrible human being and doesn't even try to be decent, and the Master is actually tame as far as villains go.

So I'm looking on this guide, and right away, as talking to Lise, the second option doesn't have a translation on that page. And the guide is unclear what leads to what. Am I being retarded? I got machine translators working but they obviously don't work on the choices.

Can someone spoonfeed the way to get onto the Lise route?

>>149258796
Nigga what? They don't hate each other at all, I'm just guessing he ends up having to kill Sylwia because he and her encounter one another during the rebellion. Since the 666th is one of the spearheads of the rebellion, it would have been incredulous if Theo had NOT been forced to kill one of his former team members.

They've always sort of had an understanding. Sylwia can relate to his reasons for hanging on and acting the way he does when SM opens. She knows his history like the others, and knows he hates the system that prevails over them. Anime sort of fucked it up and then tried to reconcile it awkwardly.

I'm surprised they didn't have Theo and Pham forced to duel, just to twist the knife further.

I just finished the Lise route a little while ago and holy fuck. At the end Theo states that he will heal Lise's broken mind no matter how long it takes. Can she recover? Absolutely. Will she recover? Its left open ended, I got the feeling that yes greater recovery and happiness in the future is more than possible for her its just not confirmed either way. What happened is the drugs Axmann forcibly injected her with had some very adverse effects, only time and Theo's dedicated efforts to improve her condition will tell, but yes she could heal. Its quite beautiful in a way, they've come to be in this place because of her undying devotion to him, Lise has already dedicated her life to Theo a long time ago and is now like this because of the great sacrifices she's made in that spirit. And Theo has now dedicated his life to her as well, to being together with her and helping her regain more of her self everyday and to see her become happier and happier. Not gonna lie I cried when I finished it. Yes there was hope.

This was some of the heaviest shit I've ever read. Lise has ruined me for life and I truly love her for it.

She's too much of a mary sue. Granted, they already showed her "Charisma " earlier with her interactions with Kirke (she moves him too tears with the beauty of her ideals) and again by her talk with Heim, but it still comes off as an ass pull. She's much too pure. She's an outsider, a savior who's been in the country for literal months talking to the rest of the much more broken cast like she knows pain. If it had been someone like Beatrix or Iris giving the speech, then it'd have some of that emotional backing and maturity it sorely needs. I guess they're making a statement about the dangers of false hope, one that is not backed by any realistic expectation or promise, but the way the VN frames it makes her look like she's always right.

It's most enraging in Lise's route, obviously, where it looks like their way of backing out of a stasi route. Martyr Iris! Martyrs should be about choices and consequences, the conflict between ideals, and the trade-offs if the entail. They should play out the pain to its logical conclusion. The other two routes are consistent with this: Save Katia at the cost of Lise and Iris, save Iris, and Lise and Katia die. Only Lise's route breaks this trend.

>>149262493
>>149262475
Except for the "evil music" in the background, she doesn't come off as that bad. She just doesn't really express care that much, and Theo is predisposed to hating her. She in fact ends up placing a lot of trust in Theo, someone who is fresh from the enemy side, and being very lenient with him, almost to the point of stupidity. She gives him a gun, a TSF, a place in her flight, and an expectation that he'll fight his former comrades based just off of Lise's testimony. It could possibly just be the rope she intends for him to hang himself, and yes, she has others watching him, but that all seems reasonable. If she didn't, if she had expected a chance of his betrayal, would she have given him as much, and such a critical position as she did?

Also
>Anime was a mistake

Martyrs is actually pretty decent in a lot of places, but you could tell they cut many corners. This is my long list of quibbles:

>TSF fights look like ass

>there's too much combat for a median like a VN, and it's not handled well

>anime footage does not enhance things

>lack of new CGs where there should be (they were so lazy that Beatrix doesn't even get a cockpit CG or death CG, they just reuse her sprite and splatter red on it)

>the villains aren't believably written; people dying for Beatrix because she's the charismatic spiritual pillar makes sense, people doing if for an uncaring abrasive bitch does not:

 ベアトリクス機撃墜──この事実はすぐさま他の「ヴェアヴォルフ」大隊の機体にも伝わったらしい。殆どの機体が降伏し、武装解除に応じていた。
 彼等にとって、ベアトリクス・ブレーメという存在は精神的支柱だったのだろう。


>too many question left unanswered or answered unsatisfactorily (Theo still doesn't know who Jurgen is, or what his love interest or villain's motive is by the end of the game)

>off-screen deaths of characters like Walther or Farka

>pacing is fucked; it doesn't take it's time to elaborate like you can with a VN

>routes that all contrive to give you the exact same ending to the political arc

>anime changes canonized (it's still way closer to the LN, but the compromises between it's two sources are there)

>NO FUCKING CHOICES PAST THE PROLOGUE, AND NO FUCKING BAD ENDS (even the first VN had bad ends thrown in)

Basically, it doesn't seem to want to play to the strengths of its median, it wants to play at being an anime. All that visual flair won't impress a reader for very long.

Maybe they should look at TM or even their first couple of VNs to see how they should have structured Martyrs' routes.

Despite this, it's not bad. It's actually fairly good, and the production values elsewhere are stellar. Still, from age, it still feels like disappointment
>>

Don't pay him heed, the threads will carry themselves if people feel a need for them.

And yes your list is very comprehensive. These things were nagging me too as I was playing. I just don't get why age thought these choices were a good idea. It's not like they don't know how to do VNs. Hell, their anime's, it's not like they don't know how to do those either, the TE anime was pretty fantastic all things around, besides the QUALITY problems which were largely ironed out by BD time.

They're all upset at him. And having done it, she isn't so much pissed (well, she is very much so) as incredibly sad. She's practically crying. She was basically being another Anette in that portion.

The first VN at least felt like a VN. People were only really disappointed because of its brevity, not because of lack of content (the fact that it came out before the anime meant that they had to stick to the LN almost word for word too). I feel like Martyrs was age attempting to experiment with its formula.

>>149263534
Death CGs lend impact to a scene or choice. It's why VNs have them. Most of the major characters should have death CGs. Death CGs don't even have to portray the gruesome details, the very fact that their is a CG draws attention that some major shit has gone down. CGs are like exclamation marks or ALL CAPS in a VN, they emphasize monumental events. I mean, Suzy gets a fucking death CG, but others do not? Why is that?

Unlikely. If it sells well and they get little complains from the nips, they will not bother, despite the many flaws of the VN.

And BiS chapter 12 giving us a good explanation for Beato's switch from cheerful teen to abrasive as fuck adult is unlikely as well now. Simple betrayal and abandonment are insufficient to explain having that attitude 24/7.

Except for dat ending (pretty much everything after Iris/Beato fight), Lise's route was kind of a fuck up. I don't even know why it really exists. It doesn't lend insight, depth, or another facet and perspective into the stasi. What we saw of them in other routes like Irisdina's is exactly what we get in Lise's. Neither does Theo grow into something radically different, and even chooses the 666th again after Katia's speech.

I know why they did it. They wanted any of the routes to be able to lead into the True Ending, but what's the point of routes then? We know that the canon, true route is Katia's, so why make all the other routes end on its notes. Like let's give another example. How do the get out of Iris leading the DDR on a more pragmatic path in her route, (especially because she seemed to really reevaluated herself after her talk with Beatrix)? By putting her in a coma!

For fuck's sake!

For a series in which alternate dimensions and timelines play such a huge role, it is ironic that they don't indulge the what if's or ramifications of your choices.
>>
>>149263859
>>149263694
I hate to say it, but at least in her route, for the most part Axmann was being extremely competent. He had everything nailed down pat. Hell, I don't even get how Berlin boyz did a better job in the route where the Werewolf are even stronger because Theo's with them. I guess it would be too simple to do a cakewalk like the anime where they're routed.
>>
>>149263736
How about having to deal with this for five years?

In any case, there's some holes between BiS and SM. Beatrix was already acting like adult Beatrix by the time she was 18 in 1978/79 as evidenced by Gretel's side story, so maybe she always had it in her. I mean, Beatrix is inherently an antisocial loner at heart, even if she wants nothing more then to have a loving family and warm home.

The abandonment thing does put her distrust and holding everyone at arm's length into perspective though.

Axmann had rebel back up earlier for some reason, thats why he was able to have more success. I'm pretty sure those were moderates who fired the RPGs that took down Lise's tsf, and then of course they bring her prisoner to the 666th who are already working with Axmann and then Iris hands her over to him without any oversight which just causes more problems for everyone, not to mention the long term ramifications of what that decision did to Lise.
>>
>>149263971
It was never supposed to be a cakewalk for either side. Beatrix was never that strong to begin with, and she had the best shot of victory at the start. She could never defeat the Western Theatre Forces head on. It's even clearer in the LN, where they state before her fight that this is her "last chance," that she is outgunned by Heim (hence, her using human shields), and that her victory banks on the West choosing to back her (she just needs to get people under control and one good victory). Theo and the rest know it is their game to lose, but the stakes are still elevated as even though Beatrix's failure and death are nearly assured, the cost to ensure that may be much higher if they do not stop her there and then.
>>
>>149264102
Irisdina always hated Lise (and visa versa), so it's in character for her to bow to Axmann on that. It's still a fucked up thing to do that you'd expect from Beatrix more then Irisdina.
>>
>>149263871
It exists for Lise. Lise is the only reason why you would play her route. Lise is great, but the other routes have a lot of other things going for them apart from their lead heroine.
>>
>>149264161
>Irisdina always hated Lise (and visa versa),

Not really. Lise is jealous and resentful as fuck in the two routes where Theo chooses Iris over her, but deep down neither one had any real resentment or incompatibility with each other.

Yeah, you think either Beatrix or Iris would carve out his balls after everything he's done. He's barely an asset, they know he's conniving and a backstabber, and they hate his guts; why do they keep letting him get his way or get away with his shit?

If the LNs had sold well the chances would have been pretty good, but the last ten months have been pretty hard on BiS and with the last chapter nowhere in sight and no planed release for Vol. 3 let alone Vol. 4, as far as we know.

Well I figured it's acceptable that they accelerate plans for the rebellion because Theo has went over. The timetables were sped up.

That said, it seemed to me like they were arguing/debating for a long time what to do, and they were hesitant to hand Axmann anything already, but Axmann was offering to get vital information which they needed.

Now I don't really know JP, but it seems Theo's defection really sort of subtly but surely made Iris more...callous. It still took a while, but Axmann made sure to namedrop Theodore a lot when discussing Lise. It was having an effect. Hell he was even whispering like a snake in her ear about getting Theo back.

It's sort of easy to start believing Iris really did start to love Theo, along with already him being her chance at redemption. The sheer unkempt rage whenever she went in to attack Theo was a sight to behold.

>>149264161
She didn't exactly bow, it was a long scene, but while it's pretty clear Lise hates Iris, either Iris considers her beneath annoyance, or she's really subtle about her hate. But then you have to ask, why? Is it because she really does feel for Theo after all, and sort of knows Lise being back from the dead, what it could do to take Theo away from her.

As far as character goes, Beatrix can be very brutal. You just don't expect it. And jealous, and other dark emotions. After all, she's the one who turned Jurgen in.
>>
>>149264196
Funnily enough thats sort of fitting since Lise is Theo's entire world in her route. All the decisions leading into it are based on acts of kindness for her and how important she is to him. The other two routes have more basis in political motivations while Lise route is pretty much purely save in the name of true love.
>>
>>149264256
I hate how convenient the moral quandaries are for Theo at times. Can you imagine how this would have played out if Theo saw the same shit go down in Irisdina's route. (Ironically enough, Lise was captured by Axmann in Irisdina's route, but unlike Lise's route, killed Axmann on her own before Beatrix's forces burst in and saved her imouto butt.)

That's the problem when you're deck building and a rather unpleasant person holds all the cards. It's called making deals. It's related to the maxim of politicking is like a sausage factory. Especially in times of revolution or political upheaval, especially in states that are totalitarian.

The Revolution will not be televised, and all that, right? Very few coups, civil wars, and revolutions had started peaceably, and remain that way. Or don't have to delve into the dark world to succeed.

Ax played his and his factions' card at a very appropriate time. He had just about everything the rebellion needed and then some, and in return (on the balance scale of things) a very moderate price of at a minimum, immunity from prosecution. Yes, he's done immense personal damage to many people, but in the balance scale of millions of people (which is what civil war leaders have to consider), it's not an extremely hard decision to make.

Revolutions also have a tendency to eat their own, and feed off of events in unexpected ways. Even Maximilien Robespierre, L'Incorruptible himself, eventually had a date with Madam Guillotine.

You're actually defending Axmann and the shit he pulls because its "worth it" to achieve victory for one side or another in an extremely pointless conflict thats centered around two women having communication issues over the death of a dead man. None of what you said is applicable here, there is no good or necessary reason to allow him to get away with this sort of stuff and the ones letting him off the leash certainly aren't the good guys with any sort of moral ground to stand on which is ironic when the mouth piece of the that side is a 15 year old girl who believes that they don't have to sacrifice their humanity to achieve their goals.

Lise sure is oversexualised. Dat butt and tights thought...
Axmann is such a faggot.
>>
>>149265155
Believe it or not Lisefag, but I'm just merely commenting on person who said they couldn't believe Iris would stoop so low as to make another deal with scum like Axmann.

From a wider perspective, it's necessary. And it's not a conflict over a dead man purely. It actually IS about ideals too, and where the people want to be instead of whatever fate they else have in store. Beatrix and Iris are merely symbolic of it all, the great titans of their divide. They would just be having a slap fight over tea if their issues and ideals didn't involve others, many many others. That's what turned it into a civil war.

As for the Katia criticism, you're entirely right but then again I didn't write SM. What's funny is she's in the very room, and even after declaring she's Ursula, they still discuss what to do with Lise, and Katia assents to Axmann's plan. Topkek, as they would say.

In wars, revolutions, there's always Axmanns.

I suppose from a wider perspective its also necessary for Lise to be nude for the "interrogation" and drugged with a serum that will have lasting negative side effects on her brain right?

You're missing the point of my entire bit. It was merely a commentary or a musing on the patterns one sees, not an opinion of the rights and wrongs of one character versus another or whether Axmann is secretly THE GREATEST GUY.

I know you love your waifu and are mad she got drugged and deepfucked six ways from Sunday, but I'm not attacking Lise in any way. I'm merely stimulating my gray matter and hoping to specifically fire the neurons and synapses in other people's brain cells to induce something of a discussion hopefully relating to the patterns recurrent or not in revolutions and other such violent or sudden transfers of power from one axis to another.

Your post devolved into nonsense toward the end there and you seem to think that I'm doing this over waifus when Lise is just the subject here. The point is how fucked up it is for Iris and Heim to enable Axmann and let him get away with all the unnecessary and inhumane shit he does that doesn't even benefit their cause a cause that is apparently worth any means even letting a psychopath run loose which as expected bites them in the ass later as it always does.

Ever heard the phrase "take your toys and go home"? It's like that. Both sides perceive themselves in a weaker spot, and so they try to gather up assets. Because Moscow faction will defend the current government, that means Berlin faction has to go in the event of a throwdown. Beatrix knows she doesn't give a damn actually about Moscow, he knows she doesn't give a damn, but as leader of their TSF squadron, it's her position that gives her power - an attempt to reverse that would be another civil conflict in it's own right. So the simple mathematical calculus is that by betting on the rebels, they make it not only easier for them to win, but then they get a seat in the game of musical chairs, and won't be left standing when the music stops.

As for Lise, they didn't expressly give him permission or say to break her, but they knew that his interrogation methods are sadistic, so it was one of those "unsaid" things that everyone knows, hence why most of them were gritting their teeth.

As for benefit to the cause, yes they did. And Lise broke. She told him everything they wanted to know in the end, which was passed up the chain of command and no doubt appreciated by the troops who had better intel to fight the loyalists. She was literally his puppet dancing on his string by the time Theo came to get her, he was that effective. And it didn't even really bite them in the ass to have him on. Hell, one of their enemies (Theo) ended up tying what would be called a loose end (Axmann).

Yes it's cruel, but that's what happens. Though he is in particular a redefiner of what it means to be a sadist, he's that bad. But this shit happens all the time in the real world, get used to it.

This isn't a stance, or even a point that does any good and I can't imagine what you're posting for. Its like we both agree its fucked up but you insist on defending it when its defenseless to let what happened happened. But if its for the cause then anything goes right? You realize you're playing advocate for Axmann don't you shitter? They were complacent and responsible for everything he did regardless of whether they "expressly" gave him permission. Its fucked up and inexcusable, get used to it.

The big problem with Axmann is that Beatrix and Iris are willing to deal with him, but not each other. It stretches disbelief a little that they don't bitch out on him like they do one each other in at least one of the routes. Not only is he a deeply reprehensible individual who both have been hurt by, a known backstabber and sociopath who is out only for himself, but he was the greatest rival/enemy and eventual murderer of the very man they've based everything in their lives around. He doesn't even try to hide it as he smugly brings up Beatrix's and Irisdina's pasts right to their faces at times to try to rile them up. It's not just them too, he's the reason Suzy has her scar, and Theo's family is dead. You'd think eventually one of them would say, "hey, let's gut this fucker," and everyone else would just stand by and let it happen or join in.

That's the funny thing about the whole situation. In most revolutions, they'd put him on the chopping block. He's antagonized everyone to an unreasonable degree and proven his unreliability. He's also one of the assholes who played a major part in foiling Strachwitz's coup.

It'd be like Hitler securing a deal to fight with Stalin against the West when things started going south after he attacked them during Operation Barbarossa (alternatively, allying with the West against Communism, which was something Hitler did float, but the Westerners pretty much laughed that idea out of their houses of governement). It just wouldn't happen, not after all the crimes he'd committed against them.

Yeah, but it's one thing to fuck with people in general, it's another to make sure to have fucked with pretty much every leader of the rebellion in very personal manners.

Heim, Suzy, Iris, even Katia have all had friends or family tortured and murdered by Axmann. And it wasn't just him "doing his job" in most of those cases either.

Beatrix not being charismatic is its own plot hole. Her character type cannot be abrasive because of the position she occupies. If she was simply a soldier or a mercenary like Theo, or a background manipulator who prefers the shadows like Axmann, that would be one thing, but she's a serious and overt contender for power backed by many others willing to bleed for her. She needs to have mad charisma for the story to be believable.
>>
>>149267261
That can be blamed on Theo for the outlook on Beato
>>
>>149267305
Possibly, but it seems like that's the actual way that Martyrs wants us to view her, and it cannot be chalked up to unreliable narration this time.
>>
>>149267357
It can though. Theodor does not like Beatrix and 7 days is not enough to change that.
>>
>>149267261
Gihren is a good example of how you do a Beatrix type character. Evil as fuck, but oozes charisma. In private, he's a douchebag, but in public, he acts like he gives a shit.

The problem with Beatrix is that they don't bother separating her private bitch traits from her public face. Her private face is her public face. That's where it becomes unbelievable.

So basically, if they wanted to write Beatrix as unlikable but still believable, she should be seen as a caring, stern, Major to her subordinates, yet shit talk about them behind their backs in private.
>>
>>149267502
The is a good example of how you do an anime-only post. Acts like it knows something, but oozes ignorance.
>>
>>149267581
Are you saying that having Beatrix be a bitch 100% of the time to make the audience hate her is a preferable, or do you take issue with the evil as fuck line?
>>
>>149267659
I take issue with pretty much all of it. Beatrix isn't evil nor a bitch in private. She doesn't want to be separated from Irisdina and Jurgen but she has no real choice.

She is a depressed little girl in a den of thieves.
>>
>>149267502
>The problem with Beatrix is that they don't bother separating her private bitch traits from her public face. Her private face is her public face.
No, the problem is that they switch her traits. The public face they show the player/viewer at almost all times is that of a hardass bitch, and then for a few moments they show us something else entirely, which is then implied to be her private face. How the fuck she managed to build a successful career like that is beyond suspension of disbelief. And worse, originally she was described as charismatic, but its almost nowhere to be seen in the VN and implied through a Godwin's law invoking way in the anime, which damages her image even more.
