Title: Blood Gear Storyline
Post by: Serega81 on January 27, 2017, 11:54:21 AM

I post once in a blue moon, but I lurk often (since 2009), and no matter what system I play PS4, Dreamcast, etc.. sooner or later I come back to the Duo, there was just something magical about that system :)

Back to my point, I am replaying Blood Gear yet again, probably for the 4th-5th time, such a fun underrated classic across all platforms, not just the Duo/PCE.

Three years ago I came across a post on a forum (can't find the post), that detailed the Blood Gear storyline to a non-Japanese speaking pleb like myself.

-SPOILERS AHEAD-


I believe it mentioned a family connection between Aleph and the bad guys, something like the main empire general was Aleph's father and Rakuh is his brother, something along those lines.

-END SPOILER-

Can one of the Japanese speakers familiar with the game, please do a quick summary of the main plot points for the rest of us peasants.

Necromancer, SamIAm, NightWolve?

Your humble servant,

SamIAm is the only one I know around here with Japanese language skills. There's never a guarantee someone in particular will spot your thread, so you can PM him if you really want a translation. I don't recall a previous thread myself on this but maybe it can be found with the search feature.

Thanks Il PM him.. the thread wasn't on pcenginefx, it was some other forum.. wish I could find it, because if true that adds a lot more weight to the story..

If all else fails, try googling in moon runes: ブラッド・ギア  PCエンジン  (Blood Gear PC Engine) and using google translate to get a garbled sense of what's going on.  The first page (http://mii5.at.webry.info/200805/article_22.html) I looked at seems to corroborate your remembered family link.

Thanks Necromancer and Digi K.  I play a lot of Japanese games on my duo, so I'm fairly familiar with various sites, and google translate quite a few of them, to make sense of the disjointed mess lol I took two courses in Japanese, but after playing japanese games since 1993, I should probably just learn the language, or at least essential kanji characters.
