MENU TRANSLATIONS
Gundam
Side Stories is a very simple action-combat style game. Each Side Story in the
game has its own menu screen where you can access all of its missions. There
are no rankings—a mission can be in one of three states: new, meaning you have
not yet attempted it; unmarked, meaning you have failed to complete it; and
clear, meaning you have successfully completed it. The menus in the game are
very simple and intuitive, and I do not forsee anyone having any great
difficulty navigating through the game. I have done my best to include clear
translations of all the menus in the game, and have attempted to display these
translations in tables best representing the relevant menus. If a fellow gamer
offers to provide in-game screenshots of these menus, I may replace these
tables with image-translations at some point in the future.
Before
examining the menu translations, there are a few basic items you'll need to be
aware of if this is your first time playing a Japanese game. First, and most
importantly, you'll need to be able to recognize the basic yes/no commands.
はい (yes)
|
いいえ (no)
|
You
will also quickly realize that the confirm/cancel commands for Japanese games
are the reverse of the default confirm/cancel commands for Western games. This
means that the cross button is the default cancel button and the circle button
is the default confirm button. This is a very simple thing, but absolutely
necessary to keep in mind at all times.
Finally,
you will sometimes notice and XMB-style UI message appearing in the lower right
corner of the screen with a bunch of Japanese text in it. You can probably
guess at it's meaning: it's a notification that the game is saving data to your
PS3's hard disk drive. As such, when you see these notifications appear, do not
quit the game or turn off your PS3 (or remove the HDD for whatever reason) as
you will risk losing or corrupting your savedata.
Please
note that I have chosen NOT to provide translations for the mission selection
menus. These menus are very simple and consist of lists of the missions
available to the player with English text identifying their status. You can see
the individual mission numbers inside the kanji for each mission name, which
should aid you in consulting with this guide's various mission guides. Those
guides also contain the full text translation of each mission title.

SETUP MENU
Prior
to the Setup Menu, each mission has a short mission briefing scene where the
relevant characters appear and discuss the upcoming mission and overall
narrative (where applicable). Press the circle button to quickly cycle through
the text. (You can also press the cross button to move backwards through the
text).
The
hangar menu itself is very simple—here you'll access the upgrades (VR Mission
mode only) and select the mobile suits you wish to include in your squadron.
This menu is mostly irrelevant to the Side Story modes, as those missions do
not allow you to freely change the deployed mobile suits.

In
the Setup Menu, you can also press the square button at any time to cycle
between the information screens for the selected mobile suits—displaying either
the MS' stats, or their equipped weapons.
At
the bottom of the Setup Menu, you will see some additional information
regarding the mission: the selected MS team's cost, and the total development
points you have accumulated. Development points can be used to purchase mobile
suit upgrades (VR Mission mode only). The squadron cost is a fraction, where
the first value represents the total cost of the selected mobile suits and the
second value represents the maximum value for the selected mission. You cannot
sortie with a MS team whose cost exceeds the mission's maximum value. In other
words, the squadron cost fraction must always be ≤1.

CUSTOMIZATION SUB-MENU
The
customization menu may seem complicated at first glance, but it's actually very
simple. Essentially, it's just one big sorting list. There are a lot of
different mobile suits in Gundam Side Stories (approximately 107), and this
sub-menu is all about making them as easy to find as possible. There are six
different tabs you can cycle through using the L1 and R1 buttons. These tabs
are, from left to right:

|
ジオン?休

Mobile Suit Cost
|
In order to use a mobile suit, you'll have to purchase it first. Each
listed mobile suit has a point value, and the first time you select it in the
customization menu you will get a yes/no prompt asking you whether or not you
wish to purchase it. Keep in mind that you cannot buy a mobile suit unless you
have sufficient points to cover the expense; also keep in mind that you are not
buying a mobile suit much as purchasing the right to use a particular
model—this means you don't have to pay two more times to outfit everyone in
your squadron with the same MS.
Once
you've purchased a mobile suit, the point cost will be replaced with three
numbered icons: 1, 2, and 3. Typically, these icons are grayed out. Mobile
suits selected in your squadron will have their number(s) highlighted in
yellow, indicating their position in the squadron.
When
you press the circle button to select a mobile suit, you'll have two options:
the first option lets you assign the mobile suit to a squadron number (pressing
triangle over the number will remove the option); the second allows you to
upgrade your mobile suit by spending points. The upgrade process is very
simple—it applies generalized stat increases to you mobile suit, up to level
50. These upgrades are only accessible and only applicable in VR Mission mode.
Please see the Mobile Suits section for details.
IN-GAME MENU
You
can press the start button at any time in-game to pull up the in-game menu. You
can also close the menu by pressing the start button again.
