Muv-Luv Alternative

Muv-Luv Alternative

Muv-Luv Alternative takes place after the events of the original Muv-Luv. Alternative focuses on the life of Shirogane Takeru three years after Muv-Luv; Takeru wakes up believing that everything that had happened was just a dream. However, he notices something wrong: he has been sent back in time to the beginning of the events in Muv-Luv: Unlimited. But instead of letting a disaster strike again, he decides to help stop it before it even begins. The solution: helping to complete Alternative IV.

  1. Are the Alternative Chronicles also in this?
    I heard they were extra stories with different characters, but I don’t know if those are stand-alone VN’s or if you can unlock them like Unlimited.

    Does anyone know?
    And if they are stand-alone VN’s, are they being translated? (There are 2 episodes, or so I’ve heard.)

  2. I know this is not the place to do this, but I’m at the end of my rope…

    Does anyone know where I can download or buy (yes I will be willing) a copy of Muv-Luv Altered Fable?

  3. I really like how the mouths actually move when they talk, does anyone know any other eroge that has this similar effect?

  4. This is the first game I am kinda wussing out after finding out how depressing this game is compared to Muv Luv Extra and Unlimited.

    Gotta muster up my courage…

    1. yeah i know what you mean, i just recently made up my mind to play it, might postpone it for a while though

  5. please, can someone help me? i don’t know hot to install the game, i’ve downloaded all the rar archives, the english patch and the daemon, but i still don’t know what to do.

    1. 1. Change your system locale to Japanese [Requires computer restart] (Control Panel>Clock language and Region>Region and Language>Administrative>Change System Locale>Japanese(Japan).)
      2. Download and install WinRAR (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html).
      3. Download and install DAEMON tools Lite (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite)
      4. Download all parts as instructed (1-9).
      5. Move all 9 parts to a personal folder, right click part 1, select WinRAR and click “Extract here” and wait until it finishes extracting.
      [Note: If the file appears as an unknown type,
      right click>Open with>Choose Default program>Select WinRAR].
      6. After extracting the files, go to the location where the files extracted and run “MUVLUVALTER.mds”. If security pops up select “Allow”, install it by clicking “Next” ignoring the options as if it were a normal program and wait for it to install. After it finishes installing click “Ok”, MUVLUV should pop up in Japanese, close it for now.
      7. Download the English patch.
      8. Move the english patch to the folder where you extracted the files and install it.
      9. After installing it, make sure “Run MuvLuv Alternative” and “View Readme” are ticked then click ok.
      10. You should now have MuvLuv in English, view the readme for any questions.

      1. thank you for this reply it worked wonderfully as i did not know i had to run setup.exe and without installing then install the patch so quick recap thank you for the short precise tutorial that actually works

  6. Finally finished it and, while I admit I cried manly tears, I really didn’t like the epilogue at all. The story was just reverted back to day 2 of MuvLuv Extra, with a few changes to the girls around Takeru, but with him reverting back to a complete idiot. If he at least knew Meiya’s and Kasumi’s names or that life is more precious than he thought before, I would have been satisfied, but like this all of the 3 game’s storylines seem useless.
    And the game feels kinda incomplete without an “extra” menu to see the CG’s/movies, revisit important scenes or listen to your preferred BGM.

  7. Umm, this is an amazing VN, but I have a problem and am so close to the end. During Radhabinod’s Speech at the start of Operation Cherry Blossom, a bunch of abort/retry/ignore messages pop up, then, out of nowhere, during the Op, I get an out of memory message, which is really confusing me and obviously has nothing to do with my RAM because when I check the task manager, I’m hardly pulling on it at all.

    1. Try closing any background programs that are unused, close all browsers/folders and such while playing the game.
      Do you have insufficient suggested RAM?

  8. ok I rly do have a problem…I followed the exact instructions of Sepharius….changing all that to Japanese and getting DT lite ….but game doesn`t works…..b4 I changed my regional setings to JP it wouldn`t even let me install it…now I can properly install it and patch it …but game gives me an error right after I start it ….I dun even get in the menu…am I missing something ..is there any fix?

    1. Yes, you most likely downloaded it before you changed your system locale to Japanese xD
      Delete it and download it again, it should work fine.
      Just remember to occasionally check the download size before extracting, if the WinRAR file is supposed to be 100MB and it’s only 40MB then it’s an incomplete/corrupted downloaded and needs to be downloaded again.
      Annoying, I know.

      1. The reason you have to download it after changing system locale is because it’s something to do with the code, English locale automatically changes the unrecognised text to symbols of some sort and that’s why it’s unable to extract/install properly.
        It’s like trying to type Kanji on an English keyboard, but the computer tries converting it into a supported format only to corrupt the file.

  9. Say does anyone know if there is a subbed version of the last slideshow ( episode 10), even though one can infer whats happening I still want to know what they are saying for completions sake.

  10. ok one question im playing muv luv right know and i was asking myself if you can still choose who you wanna be with in this game or are you stuck with yust one option through the game i know this game should have a great story but things like choosing someone myself instead of them forcing me stick to just one.

      1. i know but i really dont like suika if i would rank the girls then ayamine is number one and chisuru last sumika gets the 4 place but im still gonna play it even though the ending is supposed to be stupid^^

        1. Honestly I prefer ayamine as my fav throughout all of muv-luv extra and unlimited. Buy after playing alternative Sumika became my fav. I wont say why but now she is. And man the ending for Alternative was epic.

          1. after i played through i can say this sumika is my most hated carecter now, but the story was still great.

  11. wtf when i cant install this game a message pop up saying exe. something an wont let me install do u need the first muv-luv to install?

    1. It is necessary to have the local lenguaje set to japanese to both install and play the game. Applocale doesn’t work with this game, so just do so.

          1. nvm just a Trojan i downloaded through mediafire if this keeps happening admin might have 2 reupload or someting

  12. I may have not played many VN before but I’d say that the Muv-Luv series, specially Muv-Luv Alternative is the best VN I’ve ever played yet. Along with G senjou no maou and Sharin no Kuni Himawari shoujo. Muv-Luv Alternative appeals to it’s reader in a comprehensive way.

    When I think about it, it looks like that Muv Luv Extra and Muv Luv Unlimited is specially created to prepare the reader for Muv Luv Alternative. You can say that the real flag stands in Muv Luv alternative. It got a lot of drama and character development (is that how you call it) on it. Lots of sad events, plentiful comedy and love story. It even includes a bit of Netorare right on the 1st sex scene.

    Finally I’ve read that an animation adaptation will be aired by July this year. I’m really looking forward into it! A 5 year preparation for an animation could not be bad right? I don’t mind them changing the story or not following the VN for something new but I just wish that they preserve the elements enclosed in Muv Luv alternative which made it my best ever played VN and the top VN ranked in vndb.org

    PS. I’d like to give my thanks to this site for providing us an easy access to visual novels. Thank you very much.

    1. do i need to play the first muv luv before playing this??

      itching to play this after saw that this VN have the highest rate in VNDB

  13. after i played through the game i can only say this much great game awesome story but it really made me hate sumika. Even though it was important for her to be the main char it still made me fell like playing through unlimited and extra was a waste of time and the ending really felt like it was the worst possible outcome and i really was suprised that there wasnt an message at the end like this one “was this really the best what you could have done? cant you think of another way? Try again, maybe you can change the world for something better?”.
    This is something i feel obout this game .

  14. hey, I just finished this, but I can’t tell what’s being said at the end (my japanese is nearly non-existent). Anyone know where I can find a translation of it?

  15. This VN certainly went all out in the angst/tragedy department (doubt it’s even possible to bring it any further than this), about halfway through it was getting pretty clear how the whole thing ends (you start to see a pattern) but I still had to watch through it.

    Guess it must have been pretty good to keep me watching to the end but anyone who thinks about getting this should be warned, the story will get downright painful but you still wont be able to stop.

    1. Are this just my imagination ???
      That Kasumi kind of can READ OUR MIND ?
      If true that explain why she always near that stupid brain.

  16. After playing the first Muv-luv and stopping after Unlimited for awhile, I was hesitant to pick up Alternative due to some of the tags I saw on the VNDB.org database. I’m glad I took the time to play through this though, because it is easily one of my favorite VN’s of all time, top three to be honest. The story is strong and the characters you can empathize with. I’m writing this now after marathoning the game over the course of three days with only about four hours of sleep. It is VERY good

  17. I found whatever parts of the game too depressing and didn’t want to make me hate Sumika so I haven’t played this game yet. But I do want to see Yuuhi Koubuin (Meiya’s sister) live…

  18. ashamed to admit this as a man but as I absolutely hate horror and gore… not reading comments here before playing that scene made me drink booze to get over with my trembling to continue with the story… looked away around 200 times before pressing m1 fearing for a flashback— human brain is funny since… I don’t even remember what the teach looks like in that scene anymore.. lol.. I guess it forgets what it doesn’t want to remember.

  19. I hope those who were having problems with this VN were able to fix them because this VN is simply too good to pass up. Well of course Muv-Luv should be played first.

  20. I need 3 days to finish this game,….
    This Visual Novel too good to people who never read it,….
    But I hate the Gore and the Flashback.
    But after i read it I kinda hate Sumika becouse certain reason,If you read it you will know why 😀
    But the story Really Good,And i can say this VN is EPIC.

    Keep the Good Work Admin-Sama.

  21. Just gotta say thanks Admin, this is by far one of the masterpieces of the VN genre, its so bittersweet and the ending oh the ending! just here to say I appreciate ur efforts!

  22. Great game, thanks for the upload!!

    If memory serves, during the non translated ending the girls are arguing that the seating arrangement needs to be changed. Yuuko offers to clean up the mess and suggests a cooking battle to which everyone says they will do their best and have a fair fight.

  23. HONESTLY-.- dont play this game if u are looking for happy story ……. i admit im a wimp bcoz i was…. looking at the face tearing scene and feel like…. wat the0.0?! … and then -.- still can take it…Continue the story ( which i regretted) KO after saw the main heroin flash back her past… totally stop , watch key’s anime to cure MA MIND…crap=/= the first season was ” normal”..

  24. After all this angst and gore I think we all need something softer like ‘Muv-Luv Altered Fable’.

    The game is said to be pretty much the same after playing it through once or twice but I still want to play it.

    1. Imo yes, due to fact that from time to time there are things that happened in Muv-Luv Extra and Unlimited which one are mentioned here (shoe thing, or why Sumika went coma during that fight and they lost Susano)

  25. Wth are you talking about the ending isn’t bad, actually is kind of good.

    Your actions give a whole alternative reality hope, yeah there is a lot of sad, but you can always look back and say that the sacrifice was worth it… unlike other games (ME3).

    SPOILER:

    Also the memories of the alternative world end changing the normal world, so in some sort of way thanks to you the souls of the people you met in alternative will be able to live in a world without BETA (so far).

  26. is there a virus on this?
    every time i try to install this AVG keeps detecting a trojan when i try to install

    1. Maybe someone’s trying to hack your computer to look into SERN. Or maybe they send subliminal micro-sounds to try to brainwash you and control you.
      Or maybe they want to destroy your computer to erase all of the porn datas you have accumulated.

  27. for some reason the game keeps telling me that it isnt compatible with a 64 bit computer
    how do i get around this?

  28. please re-upload part 19.it says HTTP server is temporary down.
    I really want this game so anybody who has part 19 help me .
    pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

  29. Is part 17 damage or something? I keep getting source error when I attempt to download it, so I’m skipping it to download the rest and go back to it =/

  30. Also, the 1-click download cant be saved because the file cant be read, and it’s a pain to download it in parts. x.x

  31. Hey some of the parts aren’t working right. The uploads i mean.
    So far i’ve tried part 6 7 and 8 and the files don’t work. A re-upload would be appreciated. Thanks
