MISCELLANY
The Miscellany section
is, well, a dumping ground for miscellaneous content that, while
important enough to justify inclusion in the guide, is not important
enough to necessitate its own unique section. Want to see the FAQ
part of the FAQ/Guide? This is where you'll find it. Want to see what
fine people have contributed to the construction of this guide? This
is where you'll find them. Want to find my email address so you can
forward me your questions/comments/concerns? Again: right here.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will this game ever be localized in English and
released outside of Japan?
|
No. There is absolutely zero possibility of this
or any other Macross game ever being localized.
|
Is this game import-friendly?
|
Yes and no. The game itself is very easy to
play and many of the menu and UI elements contain English text...
however it is on the PlayStation Vita, a console that is not
import-friendly at all. If you want to play the game as-is, you're
good to go... but if you want to get any of the DLC, you'll need
to play on a Japanese PSN account—which means you'll either have
to constantly reformat and switch accounts on your memory card, or
purchase a second memory card for use exclusively with Japanese
games. |
I want to buy this game! Where should I import it
from?
|
You have many options! AmiAmi and Play-Asia are
two of the biggest import stores out there, but I'd recommend
checking out Amazon.co.jp first. Amazon frequently discounts their
games quite a bit, and many of their products qualify for
international shipping. I bought Delta Scramble from Amazon.co.jp
myself a few weeks after release... for approximately 45% off the
MSRP.
|
Is this game compatible with the PlayStation TV /
PSTV?
|
Yes.
|
I'm playing the game on a non-Japanese PSN
account. Can I still update?
|
Yes, you can! Simply tap the update icon on the
game page from the Vita's UI, and it will download no matter what
region your PSN account is tied to. Please remember to update as
soon as possible because the big 1.02 patch is not compatible with
older save-data, and you'll have to start over.
|
Why should I update the game?
|
The 1.01 update will grant you a special one-time
bonus of 100,000 credits; the 1.02 update will add in additional
missions covering the remainder of the Macross Delta anime series
as well as Extra missions from other Macross series, including
Super-Dimensional Fortress Macross, Macross Seven and Macross
Frontier.
|
Why shouldn't I update the game?
|
I dunno, man.
|
I just patched my game to 1.02, and now the game
is making me start over?
|
Save-data from version 1.00 and 1.01 is not
compatible with the 1.02 patch, so you will have to start all over
again.
|
Is this game similar to the PSP Macross games?
|
Yes. The mechanics are virtually the same.
|
Can I play the DLC on a non-Japanese PSN account?
|
No, you will be able to download the updates but
not the DLC. You'll need a Japanese PSN account for that.
|
Can you help me set up a Japanese PSN account?
|
No. Just Google it, there are many walkthroughs
out there and it really isn't very difficult.
|
Can you help me set up an Amazon.co.jp account?
|
No. It's really very easy. When you do set up an
account, you'll have to provide a Japanese address (just write in
something random)... but once you've made an account you can add
an international address and then delete the Japanese address.
|
I found an aircraft/pilot/support character that
isn't in your guide, what should I do?
|
Email me, please. Mwulf.0079@gmail.com
|
How do I unlock a specific
aircraft/pilot/supporter?
|
Playing the game thoroughly should unlock
everything. If an aircraft/pilot/supporter is not included in this
guide, it means one of two things: it is either not included in
the game, or I have yet to include that information in the guide.
Remember, this is a work-in-progress.
|
Why aren't all of your translations 100% accurate?
|
Two reasons. First and foremost, don't expect
perfection—I'm far from fluent. Actually, my Japanese kind of
sucks. Second, in many cases I avoid direct translations in order
to best convey information as directly and concisely as possible.
For translation guides such as this, clarity is paramount.

UPDATE LOG
-
Version 0.01: basic
guide constructed and formatted.
-
Version 0.50: Did you
know that OpenOffice can crash so hard it will uninstall itself from
your PC? So, yeah, I've been delayed. Nonetheless the first version
of this guide is ready to be made public. There's still a lot
missing, but the most important (in my judgment) information is
in—including photo-translations of all the menus and full data on
pilots, support characters and all support set bonuses.
-
Version 0.65:
reorganized and added support set bonuses; filled in all of the
Chaos, Windermere and Extra missions; added basic info on DLC and
patches; added mission clear requirements for all shop items.
-
Version 0.7: added in
lots (nearly all) of mission and aircraft data.
-
Version 0.71: added
in three missing photo-translations (hangar menus).
