A minor suggestion.
I know the majority of us here have played the original and are therefore aware that this is not the first Sunrider, but for new players there is always the chance that they have not come into contact with it or have just decided to enter at the wrong point. While this is partly addressed (and yes I know the main purpose of this option is for existing players) by giving the player the option to select their choices from the previous game, it misses that dimension of letting them jump into the experience and understanding the choice.
The easiest interaction I can think of is a menu / bonus option that will launch a browser window for either the 'Steam' page or the 'Sunrider-vn' product page of Sunrider: First Arrival / Mask of Arcasius but there is always room to more be creative for example: summary content of past events.

I really think this should be the case. I know most people who will play lib day are already fans and will have played through Mask of Arcadius, but it never hurts to try to make a game accommodating to people new to the series.
While MoA is free monetarily, it does take time to get through the whole thing and fully experience all the characters. On top of this, there is a... marked improvement both in the art department and the coding of Lib day compared to MoA. People who initially see and try out liberation day, start to enjoy it, and want to know that background to the world might not be as happy to have to play through an older game when they could get the main points from a short introduction.
It is also the only one with japanese voice acting, and could (we hope) be a big hit off in Japan. If this were the case, it would be much harder for them to experience or appreciate what happens in the first two games.
If I were to make a suggestion on how this could be implemented, I think an interactive comic could work really well. Similar in style to Mass Effect 2's interactive choice comic for Playstation users, it could be short small pictures of the major events in FA and MoA, with the choices being made as they come up.

Haha now I have a Chibi Sunrider comic stuck in my head with Icari concluding with 'baka baka' to the player for jumping in too far. I like the suggestion Soma! On an existing player front it can also help the immersion as you become aware of how you behaved or could have behaved in the previous game. As a result the player feels like it is more their story rather than a railed A - B experience, I understand that Team Love in Space are now at the end of the development cycle with a release date announced but fingers crossed they can give this consideration.
