Perhaps that DLC is a side mission of sorts and not part of the main storyline or integrated into it. I don't even see Max in the game listed. Couldn't they use the Macross 7 designs for Max? I would think he is in the DLC though. Maybe we can hope against hope that the content DOES make it's way somehow into the western physical releases due to some deal with HG? Whole situation is annoying. No idea...but this is why I did not have high hopes when the HG-BW deal was first announced...imo, things have actually gotten worse...for SDFM-DYRL fans Edited March 13 by jvmacross Quote

(web-translated): The webform to fill out is below that message at: https://form.bushiroad.com/form/macross_si-ws0314 You will need a browser that will auto-translate the fields to english (or any non-japanese) for you. Thanks again for posting this...I had apparently received the amazon.jp email about this too but it was buried in my junk email...LOL Anyways, the form was easy enough to submit...they just wanted your shipping info and a copy of your purchase receipt, in my case it was my paid invoice from AJ... I did not read anywhere on the link about not being able to fulfill non-Japanese orders, but hoping for the best...but expecting nothing... In either case, I went ahead and just bought one off auction...I think the card may be the same for all releases, PS5, PS4, and Switch...however, I think some of the other "extras" are specific to where you ordered your "limited" edition from....a waiting game now...the one item I am looking forward to the most is the special book and the art card with the Mikimoto "Macross the First" style character art....oh and, of course, the special box art featuring the same Mikimoto graphic....

Sorata Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Mine is paid for but not shipped and likely not to get the card too as its shipping from Amazon JP to USA. Quote

Create a Japanese Nintendo account and you can download anything you want from the Japanese e-shop. I have a second japanese account and it works fine. Quote

Mommar Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) FYI, don't even have the game yet but went to the Japanese e-shop website and downloaded the dlc. Edited March 14 by Mommar Quote

If things were truly "status quo", in terms of "SDFM/DYRL"...HG would not hesitate to issue licenses for DYRL-themed merch....as they did in the past Now, vendors like KitzConcept and Three-Zero are locked out of producing DYRL merch using a HG license...with absolutely no hope of attaining BW licenses to produce DYRL-themed merch... So for folks that care more about SDFM/DYRL...your options have inexplicably decreased under the new HG/BW arangement... Quote

You're option is to import from Japan, like always, and the options are more plentiful than they have ever been. I don't see your point at all. It's as it was... except two relatively talented compa ies are making SDFM products in the US as opposed to on reslly bad one. Quote

There was plenty of DYRL merch being released using HG licenses....whether you thought they were good is irrelevant.....the only point you need to understand is that now that we are starting to have vendors making better products, they are now limited to SDFM only....so yeah, options for DYRL fans have decreased post HG/BW agreement...

the_foul_fowl Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Managed to snag a limited edition over from Amazon.jp last night, I guess they had some excess orders that they could ship out of Japan! Found an early video of the gameplay: https://youtu.be/YqhhbTbPvYY?si=j9UZDLjfIs9j9jxB Looks fun! Quote
Mommar Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I wonder if more Valks are available as hidden or later as dlc. Those are clesrly 11C's innthe hanger background. Also google translate is pretty magical now. Quote
Mommar Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Is it just me or is it taking Amazon Japan an inordinantly long time to ship packages these days? Quote

Found an early video of the gameplay: https://youtu.be/YqhhbTbPvYY?si=j9UZDLjfIs9j9jxB Looks fun! Looks to have sufficient variety beyond the casual shoot-em-up. The VFs really look really small, but perhaps it's just my old eyes not being able to focus & catch up now lol. Potentially the big issue is that there doesn't seem to be enough visual distinction between objects that you can interact with and those that are just pure background stuff. For eg, in the early part of the video, there's all sorts of asteroids flying around and I really thought one have to avoid slamming into them. In later part of video, there's these stuff that you can pick up but they don't look much different from other background debris. Quote

I don't know how it will work digitally though, would there be two versions on steam? The game is currently listed on steam already so will it be patched in? Quote

I suppose I'll just wait until after they release the Steam version and see how it turns out. Quote
Mommar Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I watched a playthough of the game. Not terribly impressive overall from the look of it. This is probably going to be a "I own another Macross game" instead of something I'd want tonplay much. I'd wager Scramble Valkyrie is still the best Macross shmup. Quote

Yup, nothing especially "Macross" about it at all. I'd take a not even remotely remastered console port if the PSP ArtDink games over this any day. Edited March 16 by Keith Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted March 18 Posted March 18 It’s in! My package got delivered today, pretty fast. Ordered on Wednesday night too! A shot of the whole package here, much bigger than expected Acrylic poster, some metal pins to hold it, quite hefty! This is the “special book” that comes with the limited edition Contents include story, system, mecha, works, area, and rival mecha Some shots of the main sections Was wondering where the weiss Schwartz card was when I opened up the case and there it was! Though I don’t collect the cards, must say the foil card looks good! I don’t usually get limited editions of games, but I’m really happy with my choice to go with it this time, largely for the special book 😬 Quote

Somehow, the illustrations of the valks in the special book caught my eye. Going by the 3D renderings of the YF-19 & Fz-109 for all 3 forms, there doesn't appear to be much (if at all) anime magic going on between modes. Love to see the full interpretations of other valks with reputation of heavy anime magic lol Quote
jvmacross Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) Got mine in yesterday....didn't realize it was sitting on my porch until this morning...lol Leaving it misb for now..... Think I'll keep the PS5 sealed and open up the Switch at some point... Edited March 18 by jvmacross Quote
