TyrValein Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Dont expect any news at the normal time this week due to the New Year break. For example, Famitsu has only posted 1 news story in the last 3 days. This happens every year. That's what I figured. I wish my New Years break was as long... Quote
Tochiro Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 That's what I figured. I wish my New Years break was as long... Keep in mind though that theres no Xmas break ... Quote
TyrValein Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Keep in mind though that theres no Xmas break ... Ahh, that makes sense. Quote
KanonYF29 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I wonder if the YF-30 will be just an unlockable Valkyrie or if they'll be an actual moment in the game where the protagonists get it, maybe before the final battle in the same vein as Alto and the YF-29? Quote

I wouldn't be surprised if Isamu ends up stealing a YF-29. Quote
Tochiro Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 We chat about Macross 30 a little in the latest episode of Macross SpeakerPODcast (we recorded on Dec. 15 so some of the 'news' isnt so new anymore ^^; ) http://www.macrossworld.com/4157/macross-speakerpodcast-ep-7-bag-of-orgus/ Quote
iswarakitt Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 when i knew about the release of this game, all i can say is, CAN'T WAIT TO BUY IT!!! Quote

Want it even more now, cant wait, just gotta take the day off from work when it arrives. Quote
Falcon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Where do you guys plan to get it? Was hoping amazon.co.jp but they don't ship international for this one =( Shame as I have an account with them and a preorder for their Macross Pls Blu Ray special... Quote
nekki Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Where do you guys plan to get it? Was hoping amazon.co.jp but they don't ship international for this one =( Shame as I have an account with them and a preorder for their Macross Pls Blu Ray special... My first stop is usually CDJAPAN. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BLJS-10182 <- I have already pre-ordered Quote
Paliodor Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There's a lot of shops on the net that offer international shipping. I saw pre-orders for M30 on CDJapan and Play-Asia so if you like, then you can order this game on one of them. Quote
Falcon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My first stop is usually CDJAPAN. http://www.cdjapan.c...?KEY=BLJS-10182 <- I have already pre-ordered Ahh ok, thanks! Shame that we can't get the amazon special offer... though what intrigues me is the box art- which one is the right- the amazon one or the one on cdjapan? I kinda like both... hope whatever it is we get the art seen on the other one as well! Same too for the YF-19 pic on the cdjapan one and the unknown one for amazon. Quote
D.D. Ivanov Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Couldn't they, you know, switch the arts for the box and the case? I like pictures of valkyries on my Macross games. Quote
nekki Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Not sure which art is what. From the official Site (http://b.bngi-channel.jp/macross30/limited/index.html) it looks like the "Girls" cover is for the game itself, and the orange-background valks for the Limited BOX art. Maybe the one in CD JApan is an older (placeholder) art? Quote

Zinjo Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Tenjin Hidetaka absolutely killed the box art..WOW I want just the box art! Quote
Paliodor Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Great cover art. Hype for the game is rising up! Quote
SaitouSad Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I might be slow on the update, but I was rewatching the trailer, and can't help but notice in the scene with the battle against the quarter, it was firing a volley of Reactive Missles at the plane.. Overkill much? haahahaha Quote
Tochiro Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 No news in the print version of Famitsu today (given the lack of news to report on due to the end of year break, I wasn't really expecting any) but the game does get a brief mention due to a survey/contest that has some valk models and Macross BDs as prizes. One of the questions on the survey piqued my interest: 'What sort of Macross games would you like to see in the future?' Is BandaiNamco fishing for ideas for the next Macross game AFTER Mactoss 30? Perhaps. I might be slow on the update, but I was rewatching the trailer, and can't help but notice in the scene with the battle against the quarter, it was firing a volley of Reactive Missles at the plane.. Overkill much? haahahaha Well, remember all the resistance that Shron put up against Isamu when he was trying to get to Myung? With Sharon having indirect control over Captain Wilder via brain washing, I'm not surprised at massive amounts of ordinance being thrown at whatever approaches the Quarter. Quote

I suppose you have a point, though using nuclear weapons... it's like killing a mosquito with a gun Quote
MC-2 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Just a minor note - this was Tenjin-san's personal opinion. It does not reflect any sort of official stance or policy. Having said that... Agreed. He had minimal involvement in the PSP games which werent original/adding anything new to the Macross universe anyway. With M30 having an original valk and an original story, I daresay he is a little more picky over what makes it in and what doesnt. As noted earlier on in this thread, PS3 games are 99.99% region free. No mod-chips or conversions required. So all you need is one of those cheap slim PS3s and the game and you are good to go. I only had an Xbox 360 too, but I got a PS3 recently, for Macross 30 obviously, among other things. There's nothing wrong with the super slim PS3 as far as I can tell. I like it. Lastly, PS3 isn't region locked. You won't need to do anything to play Macross 30 on your new PS3. I've also been playing Gundam EXVS on mine, which is a Japanese only game, with no problem. Isn't he personally overseeing the story as well? Hehe...thanks for the encouragement guys. I think I will have to pass up on this-as sweet as it sounds. I want those toy valkyries too badly though!

VF-15 Banshee Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 So do you think the Macross-class in the game is the actual SDF-1 or one of the SDFN series? Quote
Tochiro Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 While it contained no new information, Macross 30 got a double page spread in this months Newtype Ace. Quote
hoju71 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I have two launch model ps3's, will they still play this game or do I need a slim? Quote
D.D. Ivanov Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I have two launch model ps3's, will they still play this game or do I need a slim? Is this a serious question? When is the last time you heard of a PS3 not playing a game just because it's an older model? Edited January 11, 2013 by D.D. Ivanov Quote
Renato Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Is this a serious question? When is the last time you heard of a PS3 not playing a game just because it's an older model? Yes, it will play. However, it is true that Sony takes away features as they update. You can't use Linux in the newer ones. And you can't play PS2 games anymore, either. Quote
D.D. Ivanov Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Yes, it will play. However, it is true that Sony takes away features as they update. You can't use Linux in the newer ones. And you can't play PS2 games anymore, either. But he's talking about an older model, leading me to believe that he for some reason thinks the launch models somehow can't play import games. Quote
Renato Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 But he's talking about an older model, leading me to believe that he for some reason thinks the launch models somehow can't play import games. Maybe he just thinks that regardless of being imported or not, older models don't play newer games, like how only some Gameboy Color games worked on the original GB but not all. Anyway, I repeat -- YES IT WILL WORK ON ALL PS3s. Unless they region code it, which is rare, but if you are in the US it is the same region as Japan, so still no issue. Quote
D.D. Ivanov Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 They could region-lock it if they wanted to. Persona 4 Arena will only work in the actual region it's released, the software of the system locks you out otherwise. The same goes for the MGRising demo, you can only access it if your PS3 is from Japan. Quote
dizman Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 There won't be any region locking on Macross 30. You should only be worried about region locks on a game that has a chance to come out in the US. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 From Mari Iijima's Facebook: Ahhhh thats me. Yes. Ahaha. BandaiNamco' date=' yes. My special interview footage is included too.[/quote'] Quote

The same goes for the MGRising demo, you can only access it if your PS3 is from Japan. These are the sole exceptions out of thousands of PS3 games, both of which had English versions due within weeks of the Japanese versions and therefore wanted to prevent importing. Neither were for games with no foreign release (like Macross 30) or by Bandai Namco (like Macross 30). There is no way in hell that Macross 30will be region locked. But hey, if you dont want to trust the guy who actually works in the Japanese videogame industry, then wait until it comes out and see what others are saying. Quote
