But damn, age planned this VN really well. If you listen to lyrics of Muv Luv OP you can hear kinda spoilers for Alternative part
Yes. It was even marketed as a super-stereotypical high school rom/com eroge.

There is nothing about mecha/BETA/military in MuvLuv's official website, even if half of that game was an unlockable story set in the same Alt-world of the anime.
I've been told that there was a only a small tease in Takeru's character profile: if you clicked his sprite, it would change to the military training version. Currently, that little trick is still there but it reveals a lot more.

They were planning for the biggest genre-shift ever seen from the very start. Just look at the background of MuvLuv's cover image.
