555I was not speaking out of opinion. What reasons that any of the Frontier characters want to go all the way to the galactic outbacks especially when Walkure and the Delta squadron already have it covered there. Since the Var syndrome is affecting the entire galaxy it would be common sense for Sheryl and Ranka to hold their front to counter it from their side of the galaxy. Besides Sheryl and Ranka's story is over and there no point of having them cameo in Delta. The best they'll do is give reference to them like playing their songs and/or mentioning them like what Frontier did. Only Macross 7 had returning characters since they wanted rake in the popularity of Max and Milia and it was the second Macross TV series.

I actually don't mind that for the most part the series only mentions characters from previous series in passing. I think the story stays fresher that way. And as bumbayker notes, the fleets are REALLY DAMN FAR APART. "Space is big" and all that.
Max and Milia made sense considering it was a direct sequel. I thought that Spoiler for character:

Gamlin went from the core region to the rim in short order, Mylene closely following him later. All to bring home Basara who was at planet Zola singing to Galactic Whales, a species besides the Vajra who can naturally Fold. |

If I recall Fold Quartz was introduced as early as VFX-2. Not to mention, by the end of Frontier, every single round of ammunition and every unit of missiles were equipped with Fold Quartz. Given Macross' capacity to mass produce, well... Moreover, the Zentradi aren't fighting in just the Milky Way, they've long expanded their war outside of the galaxy. If one remembers from the original SDF Macross, their Fold technology is rather robust based on their ability to track the SDF by tracing Fold residue, a ship that had been lost for ages. - Tak

The Hyperspace Crystalline Lens mentioned in the Sound Jamming System could be Fold Quartz. Quote:

Actually, you were and you still are. As Tak and Reddy pointed out above, fold quartz ain't that rare as you think.

I'll give you that, if the Var syndrome is as prevalent as you say, it would make more reason for Sheryl and Ranka to stay in their corner of the galaxy. And, as I've said, Kawamori doesn't do cameos very often. I'm just trying to find a reasonable way why Sheryl and Alto would come visit. Maybe Hayate really is Altos cousin.

All this back and forth just because some people want a cameo of Sheryl . If people wish for a cameo, then just let them wish for it. You don't even need to make an argument about it coz, frankly, if the writer wants it, anything can happen. For example, if the writer wants Hayate to somehow meet, say, Hikaru Ichijo, he'll write a plot that will facilitate the reunion no matter how impossible it seems. Jeez people, just chill. I hope this doesn't represent the general direction of this thread (bickering over small things) until the actual series started .

NUN can't manufacture Fold Quartz. The only ones who can create that are Vajra.
Obtaining Fold Quartz boils down to grave robbing. Getting them from dead Vajra or scavenging through Protoculture ruins. Aisha Blanchet in Macross 30 got the necessary components for YF-30 to break through Fold Faults by means of ruins sidequests. |

Well, so far I don't see the factors Frontier had. ^^
Besides, Kawamori doesn't do repeats. I doubt we'll have the kind of ship-to-ship combat we had on Frontier. ^^

Compared to you all, I might be new. But I've seen and read past Macross threads and know how ugly it can be (after all, I got multiple bad reps from Frontier thread just because I said I like Macross 7 alone. That's something I rarely experienced in, say, Gundam thread). Things like that is one reason why I don't really frequent Macross threads. So yeah, I was just hoping, after all this time (since Frontier, to be exact), the commenters can be a bit more mature and being above pointless bickering over small things like arguing "whether a cameo will happen or not" when the answer is already clear: if the series-creators & writers wish it, a cameo will happen no matter what. On the contrary, if they don't, then it won't happen no matter what. It's that simple. No need arguing. People can wish whatever they wish.

You need to have a character as awesome as Sheryl first before we are whipped to a frenzy. Not yet, unfortunately. - Tak

Thermonuclear Reaction Engines may provide a clue as they produce Heavy Quantum. As per Macross Chronicle there is no such thing as artificial Fold Quartz as the only one which can refine them is the Vajra Queen. http://monkeybacon.mywebcommunity.or...e/24bVajra.php Quote:

OKay, late for the party, just watched episode 1...well i haven't read a single material before the show aired so it's purely the impression from the show itself...
I totally didn't acknowledge Mirage was the main character (I only know that when I visit this thread afterward)...for some reason I thought she was like an assistant like Grace in frontier ....I thought one of the main characters (that is, the character that will involve in the triangle) was Mikumo, because she somewhat looked like Sheryl in frontier Freyja is a lot more clumsy than Ranka...she is running towards the enemy fire at the end of the episode!? And Hayate, not much can be said about him...we don't know much of his background yet, but I do like him for rescuing Freyja I would imagine the "bad guys" (Aerial Knights) become spies in the future, get in touch with members of Walkure, develop some romantic relationship, etc...I am hoping the staff will think of something new XD Given that we have so many characters in delta compared to frontier, I won't be surprised if someone from Walkure can't make it to the end... And regarding shipping...no one in particular at this moment...but my first impression of Freyja is...so so
