Macross Delta was planned to focus on the Walkure idol group, and everything else is tacked on to support Walkure and not to take over the limelight. Mirage in Walkure outfit is a cute crossover/spoof and nothing more. Just like if Minmay is seen dressed up in a flight suit, no one should be expecting the story to take a detour arc with a Minmay as a pilot. Delta also has too many "important" character. There are 5 singers, 5 pilots on the "good side" and even more pilots on the "bad side". And you have the commander and politicians. You can't expect each character get their own arc of character development. Mirage will never become a primary asset for Delta, she is just a supporting character. Again, the intend of the Delta is that they want the viewers to like the Walkure, for their songs, for their character. Everything else that's in the series are just support for a flimsy backstory. BTW, I felt Mirage got a lot of screen time in the movie, maybe not spoken lines. But she was presented as the "other" ace pilot of the final battle. At the risk of claiming it's ripping off Frontier, Mirage reminds me of a lot of Brera Sterne (maybe her ride is purple and all).

They can recycle the material once every generation. And there is only so much original ideas out there, eventually you have to revisit old concept.

Regarding what the Armored Valks did in the movie.

Is Franxx basically Gunbuster II part 2?

I think I joined that group already. Lots of spams daily.

Glad to see so many people are still on this game. I am hoping this game gets popular enough to spawn new merch. I am down with just phone wallet, charms and what not.

That's the case for most people, legally, pirated or otherwise. But I think in karaoke, it's actually normal to play the tambourine while watching others sing.

Here is the video of Simulated Live Mode. It's basically the Movie mode in other rhythm games. The game adds the tambourine sound for "practice" purpose, but we all know it's their way of messing up the song enough so people can't get free music. Edit: wow, that was fast. The video is already blocked.

Grats on the dedication!

I am not seeing difficulties having any correlation to the rare drop amount. I get 3 to 4 drops on +110 luck for all difficulty levels. Difficulty only increase the "quality" of the rare drop. There is a much higher chance of dropping Crystallized "stuff" when running at VH, when compared to Easy.

Grinding tickets on normal is the best efficiency. Just takes a lot of time to deplete the energy bar, and easy songs are snoozers. I am running on +100 luck which increase the ticket drop up to 4 per run, so personally grinding on hard instead.

Sayonara no Tsubasa Event is on now. Sheryl's final costume from the movie. YF-29 Durandal is out too. You fight Brera during the Valk fight. Now is a good time to check it out if you haven't already.

As mentioned in another thread, the Spore Drive principle is basically the zero-time Vajra fold network. Harness the power of v-virus/spore, for instantaneous communication/travel to any node on the galaxy-wide network, which is formed by colonies of vajra/fungus. Throw in some cheeky FX (spinning saucer, ship teleportation with afterimage and sentai/kamen sfx), shonen manga combat tactics (wait for enemy ship to charge into you, teleport out, but leave behind some primed torpedo), and that describes the space combat of STD.

Saw the new "Sci-Fi" behind the Star Trek Discovery show, and Federation is now using a new method of FTL travel that involves instantaneously transporting between two locations (even across the galaxy). The background is there is this fungus that has colonized the entire galaxy, and the colonies of fungus form a galaxy-wide network of spore (think of the Vajra Fold Network). A ship can then use the power of the spore (which Feds grow and harvest inside the titular ship, Discovery) to dematerialize and rematerialize anywhere on this spore network. So no more zooming around at Warp speed, it's all "Zero-Time" jumping across the spore network. I couldn't help but draw the similarity between the Vajra network and the Fungus network, the V-virus and the spores. Oh, no more navigator/Takaya whales, it's now a tardigrade/water bear navigator.

Build "Units", which is teams of 3 divas, each with 3 plates. Then save the Unit configuration via the top button near the center. There are 10 slots that can be used to save pre-configured units. The saved Units can be recalled via the same top button, right before the Live starts.

I think you can beat Easy mode with a little practice. There is no movie mode.

Full combo achieved during event doesn't carry over to normal LIVE when the song is released. Also, getting the lock symbol means you have to meet other condition to unlock process.

Grats!

Mirage's VF-31C would be difficult to unlock without the event plates. If you don't have enough points from plates, you will have to "earn" those protoculture seeds to unlock it. I would recommend just wait for the event to return. The Sheryl Military costume requires a lot of plates from the paid gacha (and that gacha is rotated out...). Even though I have a 5☆ plate from the gacha back when the gacha was in rotation, I still could not muster enough points to unlock it. The hope is to get a few copies of the 3☆ plates from the service (free) gacha, and that will give enough points to unlock the costume.

Sad, no other well wishers for our beloved Minmay this year. What's wrong with cloning? Human had to resort to clone to after Space War I to recover from the near annihilation of the race.

✨ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINMAY!!! ✨ See you on the other side of the Milky Way! ❤

So twitter confirmed Mari Iijima is the CV for Minmay in Uta Macross. Not sure if any new lines were recorded for Minmay in this game. But it's good to know they didn't find some rando to replace her. Also, the Minmay Birthday event is live right now. Featuring a new costume and the song Silver Moon Red Moon.

Maintenance to update app, and remove the extra 5☆ event plates that were dropped due to bugs. Game is scheduled to be back at noon JST (8pm PDT) and the app will be updated.
