NCS Game Notes & Spoilers
* A voice-over explains the story of GA2 while a blue starry backdrop serves to provide mood. Press the TRIANGLE button to automatically parse the text instead of manually pressing to proceed.
* The intro to the game shows a sunrise over a planet as white shards fly towards the light and the gals of Galaxy Angel flash by in quick sequences while a gal sings in the background.
* The protagonist in the game is a brown-haired guy named Kazuya Shiranami who's in a small cruiser and talks to himself to steady his nerves for his new assignment as leader of the Rune Angel Troupe. A red haired girl named Forte Stollen from GA appears and sits next to him and has a conversation. The cruiser lands on a larger ship known as the Rukusior and the crew disembarks. Inside the hangar, the player expresses astonishment at the Monshouki battle frames mounted there - space faring fighter ships with bright color schemes.
* A lengthy introductory sequence commences where the various Galaxy Angel 2 characters welcome the player. There's Apricot, Nano-Nano, Kahlua, Anise, and Lily. The entire sequence is about 30 minutes with only 2 inputs required by the player throughout the entire time. To review any of the text, press the "SQUARE" button and the entire history of dialogue may be scrolled through and read.
* After the introduction, players get to check out the interior of the vessel they're aboard. Four levels are on the ship - press the R1 or R2 triggers to flop between the levels. Although there are a number of rooms, only the pink outlined rooms may be checked out. Visit all of the pink rooms to get a voice over by the orange-haired girl named Apricot Sakuraba who's accompanying you as tour guide.
* A blonde girl with red jewel on her hair named Kahlua Marjoram and a blue-haired girl with tail named Nano-Nano appear and supply interaction as Kazuya and Apricot are roaming around the station. In addition to the lengthy intro of the game, some conversation sequences can last for up to 10 minutes without any player button-pressing or interaction otherwise. A black cat appears and gives Kahlua a piece of candy which makes her transform into a purple-haired, green-eyed alter-ego with bigger breasts and a deeper voice. Her name in the new incarnation is Tequila Marjoram During the changing sequence, a fluid animation is shown which depicts the fascinating transformation.
* At the infirmary, the blue haired girl Nano-Nano Pudding performs a little healing magic and makes the scrapes on Kazuya's arm disappear. This sequence is also shown as a short cinema.
* A visit to the mess hall shows off the eating tables and the area where the crew choose which food to order. A board above the ordering area shows color images of what appears to be soup, fried potato cakes, and two types of hamburgers among other fare.
* All of the dialogue in the game is voiced by actors including Kazuya's.
* Areas that have been visited or can't be checked yet are colored yellow. Areas still to be visited are pink.
* After visiting the relevant areas in the game and all areas are marked yellow, the next area kicks off where the third Act introduces Tact Mayers. Kazuya spends time conversing with Tact who is a blue-haired guy with red eyes. His uniform consists of red shoulder pads over a blue cloak. Underneath, he wears a white uniform with yellow trim and a red tie.
* As Kazuya interacts with the girls of GA2, they'll feel affinity to him based on his choices. If their affinity increases favorably, they'll fight better alongside him as a cohesive battalion.
* To save the progress of the game at any time, press the SELECT button and choose the second option by highlighting it and pressing the O-Button. Next, select one of six save-slots and press the O-Button again to store your progress to memory card. .
* When the fourth ACT begins, Tequila, Nano-Nano, and Apricot stand in front of Kazuya and have a group conversation before a short battle tutorial begins. The group goes into the hangar and a CG rendered sequence plays where the Rune Angel cruisers are deployed - the four ships rocket off into the expanse of space.
* Next up, players may select which Angel to use - the left side of the screen shows the three girls' portraits mounted on the tips of a triangle while the left side of the screen shows their abilities on a hexagonal grid. Upon choosing a girl, Kazuya's ship is shown docking with the girl's ship and the first stage begins. Objectives, Victory Conditions and Defeat Conditions are shown on the right side of the screen while a tactical grid is shown on the left side of the screen.
* When the mission starts, the ship is shown in the foreground while an enemy drone is shown in the space in from of the ship circled with a blue marker. An orange-haired girl with red eyes and glasses explains the HP, EP, and SP gauge bars on the lower-right corner of the screen as well as the Action Bar located to the left of the gauges. An area map located on the upper left corner shows the whereabouts of targets and cohorts. After the first part of the lesson is over, the ship starts thrusting towards the target and a vicinity circle appears on the target which counts down the distance.
* Upon reaching it, the camera pans and locks onto the passing object. Orange-haired girl resumes the lesson and explains the HP Bar, Energy Bar, and the Target's HP which are all depicted on a circular overlay which appears on the screen when an enemy is in position. To attack, move the green targeting reticule that appears over critical parts of the enemy and blast away by pressing down on the X-Button. As the enemy ship's part is destroyed, it'll explode and crumble away. Destroy enough parts and the ship is rendered inoperable. Keep an eye on the Enemy HP bar to track your destructive progress on the ship. During an attack, the enemy ship will also fire at your ship so it's best to focus your attack on its guns first to render them inactive.
* After the first training mission, Kazuya heads back into the hangar where congratulations are in order. After a bit of banter, a short "video" plays which uses what appears to be pre-production sketches as the visual element plays to the Galaxy Angel 2 theme song. Act 5 soon starts.
