Blue Bragon 2008-06-06 ch 3,	abuseA hidden Jewel this is... a truely interesting story... I do like this idea, of human fighting reploids, that while not completly original, it is well done in this story. I like your Zero and how you have dealt with his personality and his memory problems... and I would like to see more of this... Thanks for all
Archaon 2008-02-12 ch 3,	abuseInteresting and well-written story. I love the way you write each character and especially the way you give us a peek in everybody’s mind. The setting is quite appealing, too. While the Zero 4 story was good enough to prepare the ground for the ZX series, I never felt it was up to par with the rest of the Zero games, what with the retconning of the guardians’ fate and Zero’s ambiguous ‘death’. However, I specifically liked the inclusion of Kraft and Neige. There are few stories that bother to even mention them. Despite the fact that the Neo Arcadian Defense Corps(NAPC?) was prepared to deal with each of Weil’s tricks, I still think he went down too easily. Someone like him, that has survived for close to two centuries, would be even more paranoid than that. Triplicate security systems, personal reploid guards and even weapons of his own. Surely he proved he was capable to fight in Zero 4 and even matched Zero himself (with the help of a Ragnarok core armor, but still). Also he has displayed an absurd amount of regeneration capability. He survived an orbital beam blast at point zero. He may seem docile for now, but it remains to be seen what other tricks he keeps in reserve. Perhaps he will let the Resistance and the NAPC wipe each other out before making a move. Btw, Weil has no ‘knees’ of any kind to fall in pain on. From the official artwork, there is nothing below his waist. Another thing you must address is the energy crisis. Neo-Arcadia must be at its last reserves and all this war preparation should be making things even worse. On the other hand, the Resistance should soon construct the first C.I.E.L system generator. Then there won’t be any need to raid for energy and also they will be able to produce more of what other supplies they need by themselves. Also, the C.I.E.L system itself should be a powerful bargaining chip. As for Drake himself, he seems to be very cunning, ruthless and manipulative but still better than Weil (not that that is saying a lot.) It’s too early to comment on him really. The action scenes in the second chapter were pretty good, but I think you have been downplaying Zero’s power a bit. He’s been known to plow through armies regularly and the games already downplay him for gameplay purposes. He comes with the ‘god of destruction’ tag regardless of whether he wants it. Also, you should take into account his ‘auto-repair systems’ (implemented as energy capsules during gameplay). For comparison, he can survive one blast of that huge particle beam cannon in Z4 while he is inside its barrel without any upgrades. On the other hand, I like the detail involved in your combat descriptions. Environment interaction is vital in such scenes. As for the questions in your profile, Neige, Weil and Ciel never had a stated second name. The blond operator’s name is Joan or Jaune(which sounds the same.) I have heard the Zero Telos album and while my Japanese are almost non-existent, I could make out many things about their character from the ‘Alouette's Good Day’ drama track. In it, she was trying to find names for the two baby elves. Ciel was too busy so Alouette went to the two operators. Rouge sounded more serious, perhaps anal kind of person. She was addressing Alouette with the –san suffix and I think she actually gave a deep, esoteric lecture regarding names after conducting a quick computer research. Some of the names she proposed were ‘Crime and Punishment’. Joan by contrast was a lot more laid back, addressing the girl Alouette-chan and I think she chided Rouge for taking things too seriously. Her suggestions I could make out were ‘Plus and Minus’ and ‘Love and Peace’. They started bickering so much about whether the names should be serious or cute at some point, that Alouette, totally forgotten and not able to interrupt them, bolted, saying she was sorry she made them fight or something to that effect and went to ask others about naming the two baby elves... I hope that was helpful. Keep up the good work!
wolfer-2 2008-02-12 ch 3,	abuseExcelently written, the plot is very interesting and I hope that I get to read this masterpiece to the very end. I enjoyed reading it and hope that you update soon enough, or whenever you have the time. I hope the next chapter is as good as these last gthree have been.
Red ParaTroopa 2007-09-16 ch 1,	abuseNice work, my friend! You've got the characters nailed on the head. I hope you continue this piece. Nice work on the Guardians especially. No spelling errors or grammar problems that I could see. ^^
MungoJerry 2007-09-16 ch 1,	abuseOh ho... something called "Sound and Fury" can't NOT be a good read. So far, so good! :D Your style is rich and detailed, and I didn't see any grammatical mistakes. Can't complain about anything, yet. :b Heheh... thanks for chapter one! Can't wait for two. I do love me some Shittenou.
