I'll second that as well, although it makes no sense up to this point in the story. The player has never actually been introduced to Maki before (assuming they're unaware of the side stories) but now all of a sudden there's another character there. He would almost have to retroactively go back to the beginning and add her in somewhere for a degree of continuity.
The scene itself is wonderful. Both the idea and the angles.
This scene is the first time Maki and Rena meet. Maki recently arrived and has been working; they simply never encountered each other since it's a big planet and city.
Agreed, Maki would have to be introduced and not randomly placed like in the secret game over. It wouldn't be so surprising nor difficult to add her and retcon the current game over as a bonus side story
Viewer wise the introduction seemed a bit clunky, but I personally think it's at the very least adequate. I have no complaints, but her introduction could be improved with ease
Ok, I'll float the idea of introducing her earlier somehow. Maybe in the field as a rival hunter.
you only have to "click" once every three hits, that's 1/3 of all the clicking you actually do.
I'll pass it along.Another scenario idea imma throw out there, is that perhaps the "Heaven" dealers (I honestly forget the name of the organization Rena is fighting against... I think it was mentioned in the prologue?) decide to strike back against her.
This comes in the form of an attack on her residence, she wakes up [or perhaps via player option she doesn't, cue h-scene and fast track to bad result* I'll list shortly] and dispatches one goon/mercenary then suits up. Sidescroller mission then starts set in her home base that gives it a bit more life rather than static images when resting/showering/etc.
Eventually fight your way to the garage where the sortie is, fight more goons and you either dispatch them and beat info out of one of them that leads to next mission OR *get beaten, subdued then taken to a prison/hideaway where you'll then need to try and escape from.
These mercenaries can show off new abilities, perhaps (if dev REALLY wanted to punish the player) each mercenary has a unique ability to help them stand apart from one another or you encounter a different one in each room that fights differently. Gives plenty of antagonists for Rena/player to enjoy pulverizing in the future.
So ultimately both outcomes will lead to the same story location, just going the latter/H-scene way will make it much more difficult.

No idea how I'd go about translating that concept from english into japanese but uhh... yeah, figure I'd share.
Prob a tall order for someone with crippling depression but if its ideas they're after then why not these ones?
I'm familiar with that one, the first being the goons attempting to get in then the second one being them successfully getting inside. It does add a lil element of story, at least in so far as prompting Rena to become Zetu's "girlfriend" though the h-scene does lead to a game over.
This isn't ringing much of a bell for me, do you have a save for this? Or some more description? I haven't played the early parts of the game in a while.
I "think" the first instance is unavoidable... or difficult to avoid at least, when you get set up with a home and meet Zetu you go to sleep and find an instance of goons trying to break into your room.
Thanks for that I really don't remember it that well. I'll find an old save and see what I can find
UPDATE*
If the offer still stands, what about an underground drug lab, with robots instead of infected?
