Tochiro Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 What other impressions did you guys get from this footage shown at Wonderfest?Well, it was basically a music video for Planet Cradle made up of story scenes (still shots, animated bits, etc). No actual gameplay was shown. Of the footage that we got, a lot of it had been seen previously, but there was a fair bit of footage with CG valks launching, flying around, etc. It also appeared that the new characters got more fully animated scenes whereas the legacy characters got more still shots with effects and voice layered over them. (although the latest Superdimensional Seminar shows more animated Basara footage than we got at Wonderfest). Next Super Dimensional Seminar is up.Nice catch! Since Monday was a public holiday, i'd totally forgotten that this was going live today. Looks like Basara hasnt changed a bit, eh? Also, its interesting that apparently Alto and Sheryl have timeslipped together. Seeing that the game is apparently set one year after Frontier, why do they need to timelsip in order to be involved in the plot? More importantly, where exactly did they timeslip from i wonder? Intriguing... Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Some screenshots. They're teasing us mercilessly. Quote
Graham Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Always nice to see Macross 7 footage. I sure hope Gamlin and VF-17D/S is unlockable as a playable pilot and mecha. Hope Gamlin, Max & Milia are not just in the game as brainwashed bad guys Would be nice if these Super Dimensional Seminars showed more actual gameplay. Graham Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Um, is it just me or are they implying that Sharon Apple has taken control of a Vajra mothership? If so, then that would be Bad. Very Bad.The possibilites of a Sharon-Grace team-up are endless---and awesome. Ooooh---download Sharon's AI into Grace's body... Quote
Gerli Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Oh man... hype is reaching critical levels. Right? Quote
Kaldar5 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 The possibilites of a Sharon-Grace team-up are endless---and awesome. Ooooh---download Sharon's AI into Grace's body... Looks like Grace has her own hidden motives, as always. And it's bad enough that Sharon already mind controled Max, Miria, all the secondary characters of Frontier, and even captain J. Wilder of the Quarter.... Does that mean we are going to have to fight the Macross Quarter at some point? Sweet! Quote

Tochiro Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 The Limited Edition page has been updated and now includes a new item - a 'Present Code'. This is a draw code for a ticket to the Macross 30 Live concert. There are 100 tickets to be won. http://b.bngi-channel.jp/macross30/limited/ Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Does that mean we are going to have to fight the Macross Quarter at some point? Sweet! It could be. I can see a number 25 there so that must be Frontier's Macross Quarter. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 This isn't even out yet, and it's already the best game ever!Duh, Grace is in it! Quote
Omegablue Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Haven't been on the net for 3 months and totally missed this. Okay, just one question. I know this will obviously only be released in Japan, but read it's region free, so will the layout have English text and subtitles? Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 From the screenshots, doesn't look like it. GameFAQs ahoy. Quote

I know this will obviously only be released in Japan, but read it's region free, so will the layout have English text and subtitles? The flight hud does. Other than that, no. I am just hoping that it's absolutely 100% voiced. Much easier to try and figure out Japanese when you don't have to read it... slowly. Quote
TyrValein Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 The flight hud does. Other than that, no. I am just hoping that it's absolutely 100% voiced. Much easier to try and figure out Japanese when you don't have to read it... slowly. The pause menu is in English too, but there's usually snippets of English in Japanese games at any rate. As for spoken Japanese being easier than written, I second this. I'm hoping that the cutscenes have subtitles or a subtitle option, but I'm going to be spending most of my time doing translations for shops, since they're in katakana and pretty much anyone can do it Quote
Omegablue Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Mighty thanks for the reply. Guess I'll wait for assured answer when someone here has the game. Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Maybe I should stop buying Valks and get a PS3! Quote
TyrValein Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Just a quick reminder to you guys, Bamco is streaming an hour of Macross 30-related stuff LIVE tomorrow. I'm currently trying to find a link directly to it, it'll be at 9 AM (EST) (Only half sure this is the link: http://live.b-ch.com/b-bng) Edited February 13, 2013 by TyrValein Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Can you just watch it or do you have to sign up? Quote
Tochiro Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 I am just hoping that it's absolutely 100% voiced. Much easier to try and figure out Japanese when you don't have to read it... slowly. Bandai Namco has said that the main story is fully voiced. So side quests, guild quests and the like probably won't be. Quote

Intriguing... I was wondering if this was perhaps tied to the end of Sayonara no Tsubasa (Alto's fate was somewhat ambiguous)..? Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 That wouldn't explain why Alto's back in his VF-25F and why Sheryl is backseating him. Quote
Renato Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Watching the Bandai Namco live stream now. The sub-quests are not fully voiced, only the main campaign. Quote
Tochiro Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Damn that YF-30 can fire a bunch of missiles. Quote
Renato Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Heh. Did you see the pic of the Arcadia game? Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Argh! I got the time wrong and I missed that whole damn thing!! Curses!! Quote
Renato Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 It will be repeated at 8pm on the 14th, and 10pm on the 19th (Japan time). Weren't they going to give away prizes? What happened to that? Quote

KubeStick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 has anyone who ordered from amiami.com heard anything from them regarding their pre-order yet? Quote
TyrValein Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Argh! I got the time wrong and I missed that whole damn thing!! Curses!! Yikes, that might have been my fault. For some reason I thought Japan was 13 hours behind EST instead of 14. It was largely irrelevant however, as I just woke up anyhow. has anyone who ordered from amiami.com heard anything from them regarding their pre-order yet? I haven't heard anything yet. Still waiting. Damn that YF-30 can fire a bunch of missiles. How was it, Tochiro? Was the missile firing part actual gameplay or cutscenes? Did they even show any gameplay? To be honest, I just really want to see the YF-30's beam cannon now. Quote
SkyYuyo Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Just curious I saw this book on amiami sold out and was wondering if anyone know what this book is? and does it have anything to do with the game? Katare! The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Serieshttp://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=BOK-9062&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_originaltitle%3DThe+Super+Dimension+Fortress+Macross%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Quote

They showed two bits of the game (played live)- a vanquish race - ie, a time attack race- and a some fighting while flying around the world map. For both sequences they used the YF-30 and the same map/area of the world. The YF-30s egg carton can be raised during fighter mode for missile spamming goodness - and of boy does it even spam! Lol!They also showed the limited edition box and flicked through some of the printed extras that came with it. They also did a general round up of current Macross news, including the Crossover Live 30 and the reissued Chronicles. Quote

I'll be up early tomorrow so I can record it this time. I'll upload it to youtube (or at least try to) for those that haven't seen it. Quote
