Ok good, goals met: Kanako obtained in SS, dress obtained in GFN.

And I don't feel burnt out.

Now I can 3/4-heartedly play ENSIF for the point rewards. Sorry Honoka. You've blessed me enough, anyways.

Now that I have the PS3 hooked up again, I should play more Project Diva. I guess that falls under the domain of this thread, though it's been exclusively about mobile games 'til now.

They're region-free as far as I know, yeah. Though you'll need to be playing it on your Japanese PSN account so you can buy up all the delicious DLC.

I'm not quite going to have enough time for my second Kanako but then I only noticed the event was about to end because there was a notification on my phone just as I was about to go to bed last night.

Are Vocaloids truly idols? Deep questions of our time. I still need to get some more Project Diva F 2nd trophies, nearly there though.

Nozomi, Kotori, and the animation staff took that all away from her.
That's more or less true, but Maki is still Nico's girlfriend.
Love Live gets really odd when you dig into its all the old and/or side material. Nozomi used to be in Honoka's year, and she also used to be a wizard. The entire cast once went skinny dipping in Okinawa. Umi accidentally started a gay harem.

Yeah, probably. PS4's supposed to be region free.

Going by the way the PS3 games worked, the backwards X and O buttons could be a nuisance. The save interface and some arbitrary in game menus had the buttons reversed. Worst case scenario, they do it like G4U where either X or O will both confirm and cancel at the same time. I'm annoyed enough with the layout that I'll probably go with a Japanese console this round.

That's pretty trippy.

I prefer my Love Live to be grounded in quasi-reality.

Also I can totally understand Umi having a harem because she is beautiful and manly and very powerful.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they were consistent inside the game but when you press O to open a menu but then X to select something inside that menu, then, ugh. I'd like to think they'd have a handle on that by now but OFA is worse than 2, so...

gently caress, ranking is hard without the numerous lowbie level ups. I think I woke up too late to crack 100k for Sae. Oh well. Also, practice mode is cool and makes me less sad when I fail Master level songs.

Thanks for the info regarding PS4 stuff, though I don't know if I want to make a Japanese PS4 account. Maybe if the DLC tempts me enough (assuming I do get the game).

And go ahead and chat about Project Diva and vocaloids and whatever as long as it's a) anime [definitely is thanks to our current forum name] and b) rhythm game. At least just as topic-starter that's my view. Idols no longer necessary thanks to GF Note, and mobile was never a necessity, just happened to be a common factor for a while. It's neat to be exposed to other rhythm games; breaks up the sort-of monotony of SIF/SS(/GFN to a lesser extent now) chat.

I'll still keep posting along about Love Live though since it's why I'm in idol hell in the first place.

something something just post

Bad Seafood has final say anyways I figure.

I feel like it makes those third-party Deresute practice apps unnecessary, unless you want to do way more than 3 or whatever practice sessions a day.

I think I was feeling the lack of level-up boosts around the time we had Nation Blue, because I think I was able to at least t3 back for Atapon. Then again the playerbase was at least some amount smaller back then too.

Level-ups in GFN still feel relatively quick though. Overall, many of the mechanics in it feel SIF-esque, but with regards to leveling up, I think the experience needed to get to the next player level doesn't increase as quickly as it does in SIF, so it probably won't get agonizingly long for a little while.

They're only popular in like Deremas-land since there are adverts for 765pro stuff in the CG anime. But then again that's a setting where they aren't the focus.

Technically speaking they're basically all parallel universes, with all the First and Second Vision business. Oddly enough though, they haven't said if Platinum Stars is considered to be Third Vision or whatever.

They're still basically the same design and Second Vision aged, though I mean Azusa's already 21, wouldn't want to make her ancient. Who knows what the actual rules for that are, though.

e: actually Ritsuko seems to have taken her hair bun down permanently, but, besides that

Oh yeah, what's with the 10star idol + 1 star idol the t1 of SS events? Do you reckon it's like, "we want you to have a nice round number, but also to have the joy of gluing your idols together," or more of a "one to use, one to keep, and you don't get to display poo poo because it's a video game?"

Perfect.

What would you need a + and non-plus one for, though? You can just switch them if you have your Obviously Superior Waifu on the main screen. Plus, as far as I know the support team is just "biggest numbers you aren't using," so that's sorta a crapshoot. You can't even have doubles in your performance, which is tragic. I want an all-Nana team. :/

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I should swap out christmas glasses. It's no longer christmas, so there's no need for her and her glasses tree.

I wasn't too big on the iM@S games for the PSP. I tried the ones that were translated into English. Chihaya for my first playthrough (a major mistake) and then Yayoi.

The game was not for me. I couldn't understand how to do the lives at all.
