End of the Circle references should be outlawed as international war crimes.
I honestly am not familiar with the last parts of the Robotech novels JB0. But apparently what I said is the plot to those said novels.

Mix of both canons as it often is with SK's "Canon is an abstract concept" philosophy.
Alto can reasonably be believed to have returned though. As for their time after the show up till Delta.. well yeah Sheryl and Ranka are galactically famous. Freyja knew of them and she is from a culture that ignored outside culture for 7 odd years (their music was likely pretty available there before the war). Freyja even has a rendition of Ranka's Seikan Hikou she sang as a child.
Alto staying in SMS is a decent bet. It's likely he got more serious with Sheryl. TV canon left that ambiguous but the movies blatantly stated Sheryl won the triangle (and in the TV series they were technically even more close... especially physically, heh). I'm sure though all three are still good friends. Ranka will grow up and get over it eventually after all.
The real question is, is Michael alive or not? Maybe we mix both the show and the movies and say they recovered his corpse from space and made him a zombie, lol.
Klan Klan needs her happy ending too! And I'll trade a Brera for a Michael any day.
So, of we go by the movies. What about Mr. Dyson? What happened from MPlus to Frontier? Where can I find the info of him joining the SMS, and test piloting the yf-24 or was it the VF25?

While I hope the trinity did find peace on the other side, I also can't help but wish for a series where the universe they crossed into turned out to be the devlin-verse. And they had to fight the proto-devlin off with thermonukes before eventually teaching them Minmay's song.
Imagine, it's a time warp, to the past. They are actually the first true Protoculture, that set everything rolling. It keeps reapeating into a closed loop of continuous cause and effect.
But.......Oh man. I really wish, they would reanimate the original SDF series like the Macross pachinko game cut scenes.
By the way, has Alto's fate been disclosed, from the Wings of Goodbye? Did he come back? Like actually confirmed. When I last saw this discussion, it was only "alluded" he came back, from Sherly waking up from her coma.And do we follow the t.v series events or the movie events...Or like the usual mish-mash of both?
Also, do we know what happens to Alto,Sheryl and Ranka leading up to Delta? I would imagine both Ranka and Sheryl are still enormously famous, and do alot of collaboration work with each other, since they were pretty much BFF after the series and movie. But I can't see Alto staying tied down, when he has the sky for him to fly in. I feel he would like to continue being a pilot in the SMS. Maybe Sheryl and Ranka's personal armed guard. Allowing SMS to venture into the personal bodyguard business?

She's not the sort of "hidden depths" person you'd expect to launch an interstellar communications startup and shepherd it until it became a interstellar conglomerate megacorporation. What you see is pretty much what you get with Minmay.
She was a good girl. A little naive at times, but she matured well. I remember stumbling on a pic of a letter from Minmay, which was supposed to be her last letter from the Megaroad-1. About some sort of signals or interference. Is this canon, fan made, or am going crazy? Also if it is true, has Kawamori released any new info about Meagroad-1?

Definitely the high point of interstellar civilization right there.
Who knew space whales loved to jam and sing along? Not the Zolans,not Protoculture...But Basara knew, Basara knew.
On a side note, was it ever uncovered who Lady M was from Delta?

Roid's belief that the Windermereans were the chosen heirs of the ancient Protoculture seems to be mainly by two factors:
- That the Brisingr globular cluster, and Windermere IV in particular, are believed to have been the ancient Protoculture's last stronghold before succumbing to extinction.
- That the Protoculture left behind the Sigur Berrentzs as the key to the Delta Wave System along with some clues on how to locate, activate, and use it on Windermere IV (even though the core of the system was actually on Ragna).
Overall, I feel humanity has proven time and time again, that we are the closest to following in Protoculture footsteps, and possibly surpassing them. Although we may stumble and tumble down here and there every so often, but we have succeeded in many area's Protoculture failed. We managed to more or less de-militerized the Zentradi. Made peace with, not just seal away, the proto-devlin. Sang with some space whales. Manged to actually communicate with the Vajra. The only thing that holds us back is our esurient need of power and the corruption it causes, which has always been a problem since the Unification wars and following into the U.N Spacy from space war 1, into even the "New" U.N Spacy era.

The only time that phenomenon is named is in the movie Macross Delta: Passionate Walkure, which refers to it as "crystalization".
Crystalization is a normal symptom of aging in Windermereans. You could call it their species version of getting liver spots. It's not (directly) harmful to their health, but it is an overt sign of old age which starts to occur in their mid-twenties as they near the end of their natural lifespan of approximately 30 standard years.
Windermereans who use/abuse their runes to enhance their abilities - like Freyja's rune boosting her fold songs or the Aerial Knights bullet time "Wind Riding" shenanigans - are essentially employing a "Cast from Life Force" buff at the cost of dramatically and permanently reducing their remaining life. The most extreme case would probably be what happened to Qasim Eber-hardt in Ep22 of Macross Delta's TV series. He was 23 years old, and overuse of his rune to "ride the wind" in a dogfight with Xaos forces burned up his remaining lifespan to the point that he died in his cockpit. Prince Heinz's overuse of his runes singing the Song of the Wind is another severe example. He abused his power so much to realize his father's goals that he's as infirm at age 9 as his father was at 33.
Freyja, luckily, is only just starting to see the consequences of overusing her rune to boost her fold songs. She's 15 at the end of Macross Delta, what would normally be exactly halfway through the typical Windermerean's lifespan, and she's probably shortened her lifespan by at least a few years.
You're thinking of the ending of the Passionate Walkure movie, IIRC... which showed both Heinz and Freyja's crystalization partially reversing itself.
Why do Windermerians have such short lifespans? They consider themselves to "chosen" by Protoculture, yet they have such minuscule lifespans when compared to humans,zentradi and zolans. Kinda sad imho.

You did not miss something. She was already at the mid-point of her life expectancy at the start of the show/movie, and the events of Delta have shortened it, probably significantly.
I seem to recall the final episode cures some of the mineralization(?) afflicting her, but not all of it.
So bittersweet ending it is. I swear, I love Macross, but I am starting to hate some of these open ended, or ambiguous endings.
Thank you kajnrig.

Hey everyone. It's been a long time since I was last here, but I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. I've been trying to find a answer on my own, but nothing yet. What happened/happens to Freyja at the end of Delta? Is she going to die, since she was getting those dry whitish/grayish patches of skin. I know Windermerians have short lives, but feel it's kind of a bittersweet end to Delta. Unless I missed something. Thankyou all ahead of time.

I can honestly say that I havent been this dissapionted in a series with the Macross name since Robotech.
I was looking forward to this series,but.....
-
I've held off on buying a vita for so long and now you throw this game at me..... oh man I don't need it but I really want it. Didn't Ultimate Frontier come out a year after Ace with more content? Maybe we will get a ps4 version next year with the full series and some more valks (I hope).
I want them to release a HD remix of Triangle Frontier on the vita. I hope this game has more content then the last psp game, but I doubt it.
-
I think we all know the real reason now why this game only covers the events of up to episode 13. It's because there's no bloody mecha action in the show after that
I agree. I haven't been this dissapionted in a series with the Macross name since Robotech.
-
I liked the movie, but the series more. I did happen to pick up the dvd limited edition book set when it first came out. I just remembered that. I'm gonna go watch the series again. That and Nadia.

While I don't expect full English subs to happen, simply having English menus etc available would make it about a million times more accessible. Scrolling through pages and pages of pure katakana/kanji upgrades/weapons/options is basically a nightmare in games like these.
It would be nice though. Maybe they'll have a option, like some of the Asian releases recently.
-
Wow that's a pretty obscure reference. In the macross timeline that movie must of become a cult classic over the years after the Zentradi bombardment mainly due to every other movie being destroyed in the aforementioned bombardment.
Gary Busey. Not even an alien bombardment can take him out.

What, you don't believe a ~400m transforming robot/ship can sky surf into a planet on a piece of debris in perfect sync with a musical number?
Lol, admittedly, I was a bit taken aback by that part. The craziest thing there though is not that they do that.. but Wilder calls out Big Wednesday formation and all of the people, sans Cathy, react like "oh this thing" instead of looking shocked or freaked out. This gives the implication that these people HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE! When!? Why!?
You know what.....That never crossed my mind untill now...
-
Now which one is better? PS Vita 1000 or Ps Vita 2000?
I have both. The 1000 is nice and sturdy, but heavy. And I have no luck with the oled screen. Having burn in on 3 different models I have owned. The 2000 is nice and slim and light, but again I have had issues with this model as well, as having 3 different models, all ending up with drunken left analog sticks (they wonder about and get very annoying). Screen wise, I like the oled more then the lcd, but the lcd is good too. Personal preference IMHO.

Oh man.... I've been waiting for them port/bring a Macross game to the vita. I can hardly wait untill October.

Track 6 on the OST, "Welcome to Walküre World."
Ah! Many thanks Gamlin!
-
Little late to the party, but so far I'am a little underwhelmed with this series. But I'm only 2 episodes in. By the way, does anyobe know the song that plays during the news coverage of the auditions? Right before they let Freyja sighn up.
-
They're not that bad overall, but I'm pretty sure that I put up several images of the worst-offending examples of the subtitles in this very thread. There aren't that many pages, so I'm sure they'll come up if you browse through.
Thank you Renato, I'll do just that.
-
No, unfortunately.
They're not completely awful, but they're far from great.
Could you please give some examples? I'm thinking of picking them up.Thank you.

Go to walmart's website and do a search for "Macross Frontier"...
... Hmmmmm, I wonder if HG knows....

Thank you

That's like the worst punishment I can think of too give him.
Is "Colony grade" bad?
Sorry about that JB0. I honestly only got up to the first two sentinels novels, before I completely jumped the HG ship to Macross
Hasn't it always been her fualt?
So basically. The bodies we see the proto-devlin using, are actually Protoculture made beings, like the Zentradi? So the proto-devlin like spirits that can permanently possess a body?
Also did Basara ever meet with Sivil again, or that's it from the end of M7? I ask, since Gavil came back in the Frontier/Fire Bomber movie, or was that not cannon and just a fun side project?
As I've stated in the past on the ending of the Frontier t.v series. I support a harem ending with all three. There's enough love to go around.
Is it because they were always immersed in fold energy, that they couldn't, or more like, took awhile to learn how to make there own energy to feed? Fricken Basara, helping protodevlin evolve, too better themselves and teaching space whales how to rock out and jam!
Damn.....that bad...
Maybe it's the masochist in me, but now I want to read it, to see how terrible it is.
What exactly is "Macross the Ride"? I bought a book off of ebay, and it had some very cool valk designs, but since I don't read nor understand Japanese, they looked like custom model kits to me and designs.
Wow. I always felt Millard disliked Isamu and favored Guild more, but to take the blame. That's mighty big of him. Any info on him, after the Sharon Apple incident?
The New UN, sure knows how to punish... Masters of passive aggressiveness.
Because of course he would!
That's his pretty girl.
Those are new variants, I've never heard of. What is different compared to the usual VF-19s? Or are they just upgrades to keep the 19 "up-to-date" like the VF-1X?
Goodluck. Mr. Neumann. Godspeed and goodluck.
Thankyou for taking the time to look and post that pic Seto.
Well its nice to know he came back. I'am still left endlessly wondering where Shin and Sarah are. I hope there together.
Do we know where Alto was during his time hanging out with the Vajra Queen? Or it's still up in the air?
