DestroidsRage Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 (edited) I had no idea there were such stories in Perfect Memory! A story involving Global as a Space Destroyer Captain, and a story about a fleet belonging to the Anti-United Nations Forces! Dude, we really need to read these! Especially"The Plundering Fleet", as it ties in directly with Macross Zero! I'd love to read about this stuff, but I cant read Japanese! -BEN-MAN- Edited December 6, 2003 by DestroidsRage Quote
KingNor Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 global does kick ass, you have any pics? Quote
Effect Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I had no idea about these. Maybe someone with the book can translated it for those that can't read or understand japanese. Quote
Achilles2ca Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Yes pls someone translate this, it sounds really interesting Quote
DestroidsRage Posted December 8, 2003 Author Posted December 8, 2003 Well I had always known there were important short stories in Perfect Memory, but i had never known they were this relevant to Macross Fans needs right now! It would be incredibly interesting to read these stories then compare them to Macross Zero. As Perfect Memory was written quite a while ago, it would be interesting if a lot of the Anti-UN stuff was the same. I dont read japanese though... So I cant be of much help. I just thought I'd bring it to your attention that these stories existed. -BEN-MAN- Quote
Renato Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I did start to do translations of those when people asked ages ago... but I never got round to finishing... Aaaaauuuughh...... <_ Quote
Myersjessee Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I did start to do translations of those when people asked ages ago... but I never got round to finishing... Aaaaauuuughh...... oh man, please start again!!! Quote

Aaaaauuuughh...... oh man, please start again!!! Dude, I'm not even being funny now... Those stories are so booorriiinng.... But I guess I can have another go... HHhhhmmmm.... Quote

Aaaaauuuughh......  oh man, please start again!!! Dude, I'm not even being funny now... Those stories are so booorriiinng.... But I guess I can have another go... HHhhhmmmm.... Could you just do summaries at least? That is if you really feel like it wouldn't be worth it to finish. Quote
Roycommi Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Hi, I have it translated with the pics. "The Plundering Fleet" and "The Lost Two Years" They are two seperate PDF files. Enjoy. Ed Quote
ewilen Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Thanks, Roycommi! Maybe Renato can compare the translation work he's done so far? Both those stories are barely more than sketches. In fact, they feel like rough scenarios for material that was never animated. I wonder if "The Plundering Fleet" was supposed to be used as a flashback. Quote
the white drew carey Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Ummm... looking at the Scrambled Valkyrie stuff- Is that the first mention of the Protodevelin? Quote
ewilen Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 (edited) I think that's background for a Macross RPG, not something from Perfect Memory or any other "official" publication. In other words, classify it as fanfic written after M7. Edited December 8, 2003 by ewilen Quote
Radd Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Short, but very interesting. Thanks Roycommi! Quote
Roycommi Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I think that's background for a Macross RPG, not something from Perfect Memory or any other "official" publication. In other words, classify it as fanfic written after M7. With regards to the scramble valkyrie stuff, yes its all poetic liscense. You are welcome to dl the rom and play the game with the emulator and see what you think. Its an ok game. About the translations, I am not a professional translator and may be missing some of the nuance that might be in the original japanese. I have had the translations for some time and felt kinda negligent for not posting them. It will be interesting to see if any of this material is refernced or used in some way/shape/form in M0...

DestroidsRage Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Crud. Apparently my new top of the line rig doesnt have a PDF viewer... Can anyone reccomend a free reliable PDF viewer? -BEN-MAN- Quote

DestroidsRage Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Hmm. Thats interesting. I thought Global captained a Space Destroyer in one of these stories! I thought there was a story about Global captaining the Goddard, and taking down another Space Destroyer that had been taken over by the enemy?? I really dig the picture of the Zentraedi girls wrestling, with a VF-1A as a referee ^__^ !!! Makes me remember my one post about Destroid Spartans and kinky Zentraedi girls getting it on for the ultimate in kinky porn.. LoL ^__^ Also.. That experimental VF-4.. Is just a sweetly souped up VF-1! You can see its the same thing ,but heavily modified! I wonder if it could transform??? -BEN-MAN- Quote
Valkyrie Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Interesting... But those PDFs hardly seem like full translations. They look more like summaries to me. Looking at the stories in Perfect Memory, there's a LOT of japanese text in those stories. And the translations are quite sparse in comparison. But in any case, the gist was there. I was pretty disapointed with Plundering Fleet. I too expected it to be the Mars Base story. Some of the events were kinda interesting, but as a story, it was pretty boring. Quote

valk1j Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I have "Plundering Fleet" on pdf, I don't see any pics in it though. Quote

farmer_yohei Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I have "the Plundering Fleet" story. I don't know how to upload it though. If anyone can tell me how, i'll put it up Quote
Hurin Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Roycommi has responded to my PM. I should have an email from him with these two PDFs shortly. If he agrees to allow it, I'll post them on my site. Thanks! H Quote
Renato Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Cool. I never did finish the stories because I no longer have access to Perfect Memory. Also, as an aside -- I can't believe that was two years ago. Quote
Wesker99 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I'd be interested in reading these too Quote
Gui Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Here is the .pdf for 'The Plundering Fleet' which was posted around some time ago Macross_Outside_Story___The_Plundering_Fleet.pdf Quote
Hurin Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Anyone got the Gloval one? 339427[/snapback] That is the Global one. And to be honest, I found it sorta. . . pointless? I'm more interested in the "Lost Two Years" one myself. But, after sending my email address, I have yet to receive it. H Quote

promethuem5 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Oh...well....my bad on two points then. I always have a hard time keeping his name straight.... and guess it sonds like a pretty pointless story. Quote
