Did I miss something in the PSX Gunbird Translation? O_o

[Dangerboy]

Okay...I know they removed the cinemas and stuff....but....did this game have an end? I just beat what I thought was the final boss, and the game recycled back to the first level, which admittedly seemed a lot tougher. Did they remove the ending too? Or was there no ending to begin with (ie this is Raiden Project all over agian?)

Any light (that's not a mobile force :roll: ) shed on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, the endings were removed when the Japanese PSX version of Gunbird became "Mobile Light Force." Fortunately, you can see all of the conclusions at the Video Game Museum.

Ash and Marion's ending (http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/arcade/b/gbt.htm) is . . . well, it's not entirely work-safe, for starters.

What Xs Games did to Gunbird and Shikigami no Shiro was just wrong. Could you imagine what they would have named some other games if they'd gotten ahold of them (in the process removing the story, opening, ending and replacing the original cover art with horrible new art a la the MLF "Charlie's Angels" art)?

Oddly enough, considering another thread in the forum, I'd heard that it was because of Sony's approval process that these two games were butchered into becoming a series over here. By releasing Gunbird as MLF1 on PS1, Shikigami no Shiro had an easier time coming over here as MLF2.

I don't know if that is true or not, and frankly that sounds really stupid, so I am inclined to believe it is untrue, but that's the story that has been going around on it.
