hinode, AquamanOS: YES, those kinds of things are EXACTLY what I am talking about! Romanizations on merchandise or whatever are just not automatically sacrosanct, and there's really no solid reason to follow them slavishly if there's a better possible option.
But anyway, lots of discussion and research happens during the editing phase (one reason why it takes rather a while even when Life isn't interfering) and quite a few changes may end up happening before all is said and done. I just wanted to illuminate that part of the process somewhat, and make sure that everyone understood that what you see in a rough draft might not be even close to what winds up in the final version as far as such details are concerned.

@Athalea
hey, do you've any idea on how the 2nd OGs release might affect the Saisei-hen guide? Can you comment if MNeidengard is planning on finishing Z2 before the november release date or if he'll just keep going as is and handle 2nd OGs after the whole thing complete?

Hopefully not but the last stages have a ridiculous amount of dialogue, IF even more so. Stage 58 IF is just ridiculous in the amount of dialogue thrown in since they cut out the intermissions and threw everything into the stage itself.

Not to mention we don't need L to fall by the wayside and never get finished, since it was put on hiatus to focus on Z2, as I recall.

He's not a fan of OG as I recall. He's only done Gaiden, and that was well after it was out, and it seems it was mostly because people requested it.

Re: OG: The reason why Mark did no summary for OG1/2 wasn't because he didn't like them, but by the time he got to play them they had long since been released in English and so a FAQ by him would have been redundant. OGG obviously was a different case.
As far as I know, his plan is to try to finish Z2.2, get back to L, then work on 2-OG - but the sad fact of the matter is that he's busy enough and Banpresto is putting the games out fast enough that he just can't truly keep up these days, much less get ahead. There's the Masou Kishin sequel he wants to do too, etc etc...
This is also why, BTW, he doesn't go back to earlier games (like Z1, or the Alpha series) and write FAQs for other characters' runthroughs - he just doesn't have the time what with trying to work on the current game(s). So basically, somebody needs to get on inventing a device to multiply hours of free time so all of us can have more FAQs, amirite?

I do hope someday MN has the time to go back to the old games, I really wanted to see the Maiden of Sorrows story , hopefully that will be a reality one day.
Meanwhile another update, Crow is back, and more ZONE madness!

Bump, guess he is busy lately.

Must be dealing with a lot at the moment, it does take a lot of work for this stuff.

Sometimes I wake up and just feel the urge to scream "MUDADA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!" and kill the nearest living thing... Then I go back to sleep.

Heh, and yet another update, now Wing Zero has been deployed. Still, I think he made a error when he said Trowa was in Wing Zero, I am rather sure that was not the case for this.

Duo was in the WZ for a stage I believe but he was quickly kicked out.

I know everyone takes a turn in Wing Zero, but I mean that Trowa should still be in the Vayate at this point. In any case its a easily correctable mistake.
Ah he is on a role now, damn, Rosso is a even bigger jerk in this story it seems lol.

Oh, dear...he's about to start Mission 25.
I can't watch...!!

Another update, Zero VS Zero. Ah, if only Zero from Megaman X was involved so we could have Zero VS Zero vs, Zero.
