OK, got about a month to go. Everybody getting PUMPED?!

Super pumped! If Mari Iijima did any duets with any Frontier cast there will be a slightly used copy of Macross 30 up for sale at my funeral estate sale... because I will most certinaly be dead from the goodness.

Minmay + Ranka? Can't imagine. Both of them hitting those great high notes, with Mari Iijima doing that soft close whipser low notes and Megumi Nakajima singing with this huge genuine smile you can literally hear. Head 'asplode.

Hell if she didn't for this game I'm tempted to look into a kickstarter for her to do it. Minmay "Aimo, Aimo"? Hell yeah.

By the way, everyone should hear the last song she wrote on her "Mari Iijima sings Lynn Minmay" album, "Why?" The song was written for (DYRL) Minmay's perspective; waiting for Hikaru to return, and finding he ended up with Misa. It's very well done, first half in English, second in Japanese. Since she lives in the US, so her English is damn good.

I do feel kinda bad when people ask Mari Iijima directly about Macross 30, Macross 30th aniversary, 30, 30, 30.

She still has an incredible voice that hasn't changed at all except for getting better at English, and she still passes for a cute 2# something....

But people should maybe have a bit of tact mentioning specifically how many years have gone by.

I still find it curious that they have Isamu in a YF-29, rather than his trademark YF-19.

Well, they have shown both. I guess he upgrades at some point?

He is a (test?) pilot for SMS per Sayonara no Tsubasa, so not too surprising he would score the newest prototype Valk. Especially one with backswept wings.

(Not surprising he would "leave" the military for a looser private company either!)

Now the real question is... Since the YF-29 has a fold quartz system for receiving and projecting fold waves.....

Can Isamu now insult and berate people by projecting his consciousness into fold space? He's got enough strength of will and ego to do it.

FTL Trashtalking FTW.

He can be his own Sharon Apple, projecting, insulting, and distracting the hell out of other people while they are trying to fly. Heck, he's bad enough just on the radio chatter. Imagine him being able to send raw emotion and ego at range.

(Yeah, I know, would only work with/on other people that are connected to fold space, but still would be hilarious...... just.... just don't let him see Sheryl Nome fold projecting while he is... things would get... interesting.)

latest update reveals lame fan service swimsuit scene

It's rated CERO B (12& up) Doubt they will change that ~30 days before release

So I don't think it will be slipping very far...

Otherwise how far could you take it? "Not out yet" as in "I haven't watched it yet, duh"? The DVD is not out yet. The film has been released. I think these are objective truths.

Just clarifying what I meant, and yes, technically a misstatement.

I'll pencil in a public flogging when I have some free time hee hee

Haven't had any troubles or worrying emails from CDJapan on my preorder; but this is the first time I have ordered from them. I'm sure everything will be fine tho.

I'm assuming you can pick your songstress again for each mission, like the PSP version...(I hope!) but could you completely pick any combo?

VF25, Alto flying, Minmay singing?

What do you mean by not out yet?

"Not out yet" as in not on video till 4/24/2013 per CDJapan

Not everyone can get to Japan and see it in a theater. *sigh*

What do you mean by not out yet?

My bad, sorry bout that.

Not quite off topic considering the massive amounts of crossovers in this game....

Here is the Frontier / Firebomber crossover that is not out yet:

Friggin cute that they are somewhat perplexed by a VHS tape XD

And yet more Ranka/Sheryl singing with Basara (Fan video, Official Audio)

...but the Queadlunn units are in the valkyrie development screen, so we can assume they're in.

Schweeeet! Thanks for the info, I missed that for ovbious reasons.

Seriously, you should open a museum for that thing. Incredible.

Any word on if a Queadluun-Rau or Queadluun-Rhea suit will be playable? Or heck, even Klan Klang with a modified VF superpack. She K.K. was playable on the recent Playstation Vita Macross game if memory serves me right. (Undignifiedly doing repeated butt slams on gameplay vids ¬_¬ )

Hope they give us some Meltran love this game - (love in this case being 'Do you remember beating the hell out of a Valk in a battle rage')

Thanks for the info!

And ordered the collector's edition from CD Japan!~ Woo!

Any word yet on voice actresses?

Mari Iijima had no reply or may have missed the question when asked about the game. (Hell sometimes voice actors hardly know what they are working on)
