I feel like it should be with the other stand-up board things (the couch icon, then 収納) but I'm guessing. I hope they didn't discontinue it, that'd be too cruel.

Yeah, those are different.

It's like the three boxes you just bought, except instead of generating promotion items it generates trainer tickets.

Pretty much, you can just feed your endless supply of normies to each other and the only other benefit is Veteran and Master trainers can increase your skill level, but normies don't have a skill either.

I really like all the features SS has, but everything is so sloooow. Loading screens to go from menu to menu, loading screens to buy every piece of furniture (and no option to buy multiple things at a time), brief downloads for every third action I do. Most individual things don't really take that long, but it adds up, and I'm used to the snappy responses of SIF. I love the room, but redesigning it takes longer than redesigning a room in Animal Crossing.

Heck, even Starlight Stage is quick compared to GF Note, IMO.

Also, Syoko is an excellent tier idol.

I kinda wish you could see the non-idolized 2D outfits when playing songs, though, instead of only when you inspect a card's stats.

Only SSRs have unique outfits, if only to save on space and to make them just a tad bit more desirable.

This. In the long run, all you really need to do with them is idolize them to unlock the commu for that card, then you can practice that instance away whenever you want (unless you want to keep the girl around for your room, or to watch in an MV, or something).

Pretty much. It doesn't take too long to get enough SRs for the teams you use for real, then yeah I just keep Rs around for their star rating or even potential star rating (or aesthetics). I might actually have to start selling some of them off, space is getting tight.

Alright, I've just checked and it's 8 shared songs and 4 unique per game, that's really bad for making people want to buy more than one of them. At least Shiny Festa is 6 shared 14 unique each.

e: also just found out they're killing the Shiny Festa (free) DLC service and also dropping support for it in a month from now, but they've also reduced the apps to $3.99 each, so if you ever wanted them you should do it now and get all the DLC asap

There was dlc for shiny festa? I thought it was just the three games/ 3 apps, and then that ps3 channel thing, which I thought was already dead.

Also, I really need to get rid of some Rs (and the handful of N's I've kept around because they look nice). I can't even roll 10 anymore :v:

Still have a few of the original N's to idolize, too.

It's DLC in the purely literal sense - it was released the same time as the games and has always been free - it was just to get around the maximum iOS app size of 2GB, since they actually consume ~3.5GB each after downloading all the songs.

Yeah, the PS3 channel is just a launcher for Shiny TV, the digital versions of the Gravure 4 You "games" and the digital version of One For All nowadays, and I'd guess One For All can be launched separately anyway since it's a full game. I think they wanted it to be some kind of im@s hub but they never really did anything compelling with it.

trainer tickets at the silver level and above have a chance to increase your rare and up cards skills. You can use more trainers at once to increase the chance, but only get 1 skill up out of multiple cards, or you could use 1 trainer card at a time, at a lower percentage, but with a chance to upgrade the skill many times.

Also, crap i didn't know SS had a bonus for 10 pulls.. I would have been saving gems if I knew that. Guess I should have google translated that whole window.

I'm wondering what I should spend my event tokens on. I got 1028 of em, but i also already got all of the cards from the event. I could get another Tomoe for support team or something. Or 250 star gems. Advice?

I think i understand most of Starlight stage now, besides skills, since the translations that the Google Translate app does don't make sense to me.

Like here's one, what does "Between the moment at medium probability every six seconds, the GREAT / NICE to PERFECT," mean?? Does it mean that if the skill triggers, that during the time it's active any great/nice hits I do turn into perfect ones?

I'd personally just spend them all on star jewels, maybe unless you're a big Tomoe fan particularly, you'll probably get a roughly equivalent card sooner or later anyway.

The first part is activation time in seconds and probability, all skills use that format.

「number」回 is healing by that value per perfect,
comboボーナス is an increase to the value you get from having a combo, I think.
PERFECTのスコア[percent] is an increase in the value for a perfect
NICEでもCOMBO is a combo-keeper, so a nice won't break your combo.
ライフが… prevents your life from going down
The GREAT/NICE one does as you say. When that one activates, there's even a little rectangle that pops up under the PERFECT, which is slightly distracting, but kinda nice, so you know you hosed up.

I think that's more or less all the skills.

Mostly, but there are some that increase life, and ones that increase skill activation rates, too.

Kinda a shame you can only get 250 gems from the trade shop, although that does more or less equal out to the gems you'd get from the story in a token event.

:v: good thing every other week they seem to have a commercial out, so there's more gems!

I wonder if they're ever gonna roll out another solo ver. song. It's a neat little feature.

Funnily enough the full set of music videos is only about 4.3GB, I'm not sure the duplication on the shared songs can entirely explain that away. There aren't even that many additional voice clips.

Meawhile, looks like Girl Friend Note is already beating the f2p competition even despite the fact it downloads stuff constantly and seems to have significantly less content.
