Funny you mentioned Mobile Light Force 2, because Mobile Light Force 1 is a chopped and screwed version of Gunbird, which is the prequel of one of the games I mentioned earlier. Like Shikigami no Shiro's butchering, MLF1 has all the story sequences cut out and a lot of name changes. (most notable is Valnus becoming "MILF-2000." WTF?)

I will never figure out why Xseed Games did that to Gunbird and Shikigami no Shiro. Also of note is that the cover for MLF 1 and 2 are exactly the same pretty much.

At least Gunbird 2 was released here in its original form, and Castle Shikigami 2 and 3 were mostly left alone.
