    The Newbie and Short Questions thread

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted

    Have a slightly tangential question on this as well. How likely is it for BV to rerelease the 2008 MZ boxset in light of the recent push to get everything out on BD? Is the thing out of print at the moment?

    Is the macross zero blu-ray worth picking up? I couldn't find a thread with much information. What do you guys think of the video/audio quality?

    I assume no subtitle either, but doesn't hurt to ask....

    Am I alone in thinking this version of Misa is completely off the rails? The real (oops I mean SDFM) Misa took the idea that she ight be one of the two last people on Earth with grim resolve. The movie one on the other hand... There are other cases too where I just thought "this is not the Misa I know".

    Has Bodolzaa (yes he is a favourite character) really been turned into a traitor, reneging on his word on the whim of the moment? The peace appears to be with teh entire Bodolzaa fleet (or is it just the rather susect translation?) but then he just says fire on the Macross?

    Bodolle Zer of the series was a xenophobic dinosaur terrified of cooties and new ideas and set out to exterminate what he doesn't understand.

    Bodolle Zer of DYRL was a calculating bastard who saw the value of culture, but only as a potential weapon to use against the hated Meltrandi. When that weapon was at risk of falling into enemy hands he just wrote it off and ordered its destruction.

    I really like the Bodolzaa of SDFM, in a way one likes a cinematic pirate or gangster while definitely not wanting to meet one in real life. Bodolzaa there is a firm commander with clear aims, and is also excellent at interrogation. None of this character seems to remain in th movie - or did I lose something here?

    Why is the most interesting part, how Minmay actually convinced Bodolzaa to make peace, all offscreen? She got a heroic upgrade, compared to the series, in bringing peace single-handedly - and then they never show it? Just a couple of 2-3 minute sequences would not be to hard to animate - were they out of talented script writers?!

    Why can Misa understand what the Protoculture computer is saying? She later used, apparently, frequency analysis to translate the lyrics. Good enough (for the rather soft kind of Sci-Fi that Macross is). But she did not have anything at hand for frequency analysis when talking to the computer.

    What's happening with Max and Milia? I do like how they animated him admiring her beauty while she is in *macronized* form (while she admires Minmay's song... which she somehow hears despite her mecha being broken at the point?). I don't understand what happened to her after that. They were in an airlock of Macross? But if she was taken prisoner it's never shown? Or she somehow escaped - but then the Meltrandi got their backside kicked - did she even survive in this version? (If she didn't, poor Max).

    Max vs Millia was in the airlock of the Meltran Gunship which promptly folded out, not the SDF-1. So technically Max was the one taken prisoner. And yes, they both survive and show up for the final battle piloting Queadlunn Raus, with Max in the blue Max custom.

    And finally - did anyone (Mari Iijima or otherwise) ever sing and record the English lyrics for the DYRL song, as shown on screen?

    There is an unofficial English cover of DYRL in one fandub version, which is actually pretty good.

    ER/RM++ Project:

    Character F SMS 02A Ozuma Lee: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRcharacter/Fsms02aOzumaLee.php

    - this was layered with juicy nuggets. Not only does it clarify the maximum size of the Vajra (Large) size (an issue debated among some circles), but it also has elements from SDFM, M+, and (drum roll) VF-X2!

    Manfred Brando was that git in the red Vf17 equipped with the song jamming system, wasn't he?

    Did that bit come from the MF novelization?

    Having trouble coming in silver for the Level 10 Archipelago Vanquish race to get the YF-21 FAST Pack. I've got the route down pat, and my best timing still comes up 45 seconds short of 4 minutes in an overtuned Level 1 YF-29. Anyone have any tips on getting the pack?

    Tornado pack is the reward for the ridiculously easy retrieval quest for the missing tea set unlocked starting Chapter 7-4. The item is lying on top of the glacier next to Uruthr. The races unlock automatically in Chapter 7-3.

    It's also recommended as periodically new quests still turn up at the Archipelago Guilds during the Desert arc. Also one of the Desert Delivery quests require a trip back to Vrlitwhai City.

    Is there add-ons for Macross 30 on the PSN store? If there is a VF-1S can you guys let me know?

    The only DLC are apparently the bonus itasha version VF-1S, YF-29, VF-25 from the limited edition.

    The generic VF-1S and the Skull Leader version are already in the game, you just need to unlock them.

    If I remember correctly the items are all in four chests in the first part of the area.

    Regarding the Daoren hunters guild quest that becomes available at 2-2

    バンデットの巣Bandit Nest

    Recover 4 materials from Fovos Base.

    Just what the neck are the "4 materials"?

    Went into Favos Base, killed everything, collected everything inside, went straight back to Daoren, but quest not completed.

    I got no complaints about the tutorials. They did a pretty good job detailing the controls, and I got the control scheme down right away, even with my limited understanding of written Japanese.

    Although, Aisha, explaining Anti missile action and SP attacks before throwing us into boss fights and hairball encounters with bandit ships would have been helpful. Fortunately SPA works the same as the PSP games.

    You might have problems downloading any new DLC from PSN if you play from a non-JP PSN account though, if the DLC applies to savegames instead of game data. Dunno about Macross 30 though, mine hasn't arrived yet.

    New to this Chronicle collecting thing, just checking some details.

    The free binder only comes with the 1st issue, yes?

    For every tenth issue, we will need to provide our own binder or purchase 7 additional

    Macross binders to hold the lot?

    Did they ever release other designs for the binders the last run?
