after reading photonflowers I can safely say this group (age) is just trying to milk the muv luv franchise. kind of frontwing's grisaia phantom trigger.
should I expect the same thing with this one?

isn't that exactly what I said?
anyway if this is anything like phantom trigger then skip. photonflowers was just all kinds of awful.

i was under the impression you thought frontwing had nothing to do with grisaia, hence the referential analogue to phantom trigger originally.

Not as bad as when they ran out of budget in the first few episodes of Total Eclipse

Welp,
I found a fix!
Have the installed game with the plaza crack, then download this registry file, run it, and it should work like a charm!

You can try this, worked for me.
Go in regedit at this path Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AGES3 Applications\age\muvluv_pm_v11\rvmmUISettings and change dwMainFontStyle hexadecimal value to 1008

Works. I should also say the decryption key for the link you provided is invalid now, but we hardly need it with this info here.

Definitely start with the original Muv-Luv (also known as Muv-Luv Extra, which comes packaged with the sequel, Muv-Luv Unlimited). It's pretty much a requirement. While it may seem like a light-hearted romantic comedy, don't let it fool you. There's far more going on than what you may think, and it should become apparent once you get to the sequel, Muv-Luv Unlimited.
And once you get to the third part, Muv-Luv Alternative, prepare to have your mind blown. It's widely known as the greatest visual novel of all time, and for very, VERY good reason.
As for this one ... it's the (MUCH needed) epilogue to Muv-Luv Alternative, along with a few side stories thrown in. After the harrowing nightmare of Alternative, this is a great way to wind down the series with a return to some silliness and fun.
In short, Muv-Luv Extra, Unlimited, and Alternative are the main trilogy and must be read in that order. photonflowers and photonmelodies are just add-ons for fans of the original series.
P.S. When reading Extra (the first one), read Sumika's route at the very least. It's the most important and relevant. In the original release, it was required to play through Sumika and Meiya's routes both in order to unlock the sequel, but the current releases no longer require this.

I'd recommend to start with the main trilogy. If you want to start it, go in blind. Don't go to any Muv-Luv discussion or youtube video. Also, one of the many reasons people don't enjoy this series is that they have unrealistic expectation in the first place. If you start blind and treat this vn like you would treat any other vn(with no expectation at all), you probably will enjoy it.

The first Muv-luv is a normal VN with RomCom.
Muv-Luv Alternative is an alternate universe of Muv-Luv original and is literally the heart of Muv-Luv franchise from there you can jump on any Muv-Luv that fancies you

Not exactly. The first Muv-Luv is the first part of the trilogy. It's a continuous story and while Unlimited and Alternative do take place in a different universe, that doesn't mean the original can be ignored. Far from it. In fact, if you've read Alternative you'd understand why ignoring the original is a very, VERY bad idea (considering that dimension-hopping is part of the entire plot).

Ah yes I remember reading I think it was called Schwarzmarken or something. A visual novel about everyone dying. Cept the heroine that you picked. Because we gotta kill every other girl.

what i love art, my hobby is writing, but im not that pussy a opinion or major spoiler dont destroy the content, is like saying "oh man you spoiled the mona lisa to me now is trash..." people like you carfe to much about the ofensive part because alwyas want to be rigth about all. All people condening other people talking about wathever they want is a sleepery slope to book burning and big sistem of censoreship, if you dont want or like what other say about "art" grow a part of balls and understand that one day you will be on that side and you would not like them to try to silence you for sharing your experience.
