kensei Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Has anyone that owns VF-X 2 on PS ever completed it on Maniac? I can only get up to the second last stage, the one where you are ganged up on with VF-17's who just launch missile after missile up your ass. The furtherest I've ever gotten were two downed VF-17's, after like 10 mins. I used the VF-19 and it's PP Barrier system, it's annoying running away from the missiles, then rounding back around and trying to lock on yourself because they've already lauched their next salvo. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Sorry, I've only tried it on easy and regular. I guess I just want to pretend that I'm a good pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Boy, you guys are maniacs for playing it in maniac. (joke) That's funny. I never played any game in hard mode. Always in normal or easy. I guess I'm not a real gamer. BTW. Do you guys think that the two endings are worth it? I only finished the game using an emulator. Because my PS1 did't work anymore. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I failed to read the description of this thread: "Rookie In training" WHAT?..... Rookie in training and you're already playing the game in maniac? You really are a maniac, huh? <_< (jokes again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abombz!! Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 BTW. Do you guys think that the two endings are worth it? I only finished the game using an emulator. Because my PS1 did't work anymore. Nope. The endings are standard issues action game endings. Nothing extra ordinary. But then again... if you are a fan of the game, you will probably want to see them.

bob joe mac Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Well I just wanna beat it see the ending and get the secret machs but my PS1 stalls aftehr the final battle with the Macross 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abombz!! Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I remember a member here had save stats for the game after he had beat it. I don't remember who though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I can't get past "Operation: Pinnochio" on Maniac... it's just F-ing hard. If I could use something besides the VA-3 Invader in that mission, I'd probably be alright. "Operation: Singin' in the Rain" was no cakewalk either. You really have to join with Gilliam to see the "real" ending. I think the choice of killing him was designed as the "cop out" or "bad" ending. I mean, that's when the game starts to get really good is after that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I played maniac level, I'm using VF-19 during the last stages. I was damn hard, I failed operation 'Mary Poppins' and 'Remember Love' several times, gotta beat those pesky Ghosts only to face the enemy aces in VF-22 and VF-19. Sometimes I feel lucky that I ever completed those missions If only I could use full armour VF-11, it maybe another story, untill then.... BTW, anyone know why Aegis missile barrage to Macross 13 bridge wasn't nullified by the jammers ? As I recall, the fleet missiles attack were jammed right ?

Rookie in training and you're already playing the game in maniac? You really are a maniac, huh? (jokes again) I played the game in both Easy and Normal. In any game, I consider that training. I always try to finish every game i play on the hardest mode, that what makes the game last longer and more challenging for me. I love a challenge!!!

kensei Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 (edited) I can't get past "Operation: Pinnochio" on Maniac... it's just F-ing hard.

"Operation: Singin' in the Rain" was no cakewalk either.You really have to join with Gilliam to see the "real" ending. I think the choice of killing him was designed as the "cop out" or "bad" ending. I mean, that's when the game starts to get really good is after that point. Keep movin in battroid mode for this stage.(singin in the Rain) Use the city buildings as cover for the (pheyos?) part. For the big dragon boss thingy you just gotta stay one step ahead of him. When he's about to launch a big attack, change to Fighter mode and get the hell out skywards. Takes a long time but it works for me. I forgot what pinnochio was all about, long time since i played the game. PS on the second stage after you fly through the canyons, don't you think the red VF-1 was ridiculously fast and manoevurable?

Prime Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 WARNING: Don't expect to see any of the endings if you use this emulator in playing VFX2. You'll only see a black screen. IIRC it is a problem with the actual game, not just the emulator. However, I have an ePSXe memcard file that has a saved game after you finish it. This allows you to go through and play all the missions using any of the fighters, and on certain missions you can use the armoured battroids (VF-1 and VF-11). If anyone wants it I can probably send it to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
