hahaha gently caress me. Trying to FC Soldier Game on normal, and the one run where I don't gently caress up during the part I usually gently caress up at, I missed the very first note in the song.


well the next run after that I managed to do it right.

only took 6 clears

Yolo'd a hard mode song in the JP SIF event.

Got Angelic Angel which i haven't played on hard before cuz it has 8 stars, and I can barely pass those, but I managed to finish the song and somehow got first place even with my terrible team.

Even without the background I can barely parse that as being Aoi Tori without Chihaya singing it. It's like Chihaya singing some of the upbeat songs, it's really off.

I think the rare drop rate in JP SIF is higher than EN, because i keep getting rares from just playing songs. It's pretty sweet.

And almost every time it has been just me playing a song on Easy to FC it.

I still haven't run out of LP in japanese SIF

It's that overload from leveling. In the english version if you level you just get maxed, in the japanese version I think it gives you the full amount, and overloads your LP.

I've gotten to rank 27 so far and haven't ran out of LP yet. It's insane.

I think that's a sub.

This wiki entry for the game series says...

quote:

한국에서도 2009년 2월 20일에 난이도가 가장 낮은 퍼펙트 선이 정식 발매되었다. 최초의 한국 정식발매 아이돌 마스터 시리즈이긴 하지만 메뉴얼 한글화로 나왔기 때문에 제대로 플레이하려면 결국 일본어를 할 줄 알거나, 아니면 인터넷 공략에 의존할 수밖에 없다. 그러나 퍼펙트 선만 나오고 나머지 두 버전은 결국 정발조차 되지 못했다.

The easiest of the three, Perfect Sun, was brought to Korea in February 20th 2009. This made SP the first series to be officially sold in Korea. However, only the manual was in Korean so people who wanted to play had to either know Japanese or rely on the Internet. Furthermore, only Perfect Sun was released, with the two never seeing any official release at all.

Oh, huh, it looks surprisingly good. I guess I'm used to English fansubs where any time people insert English text into the game it either overflows or is in a really bad font. Works better when you have something analogous to kanji, presumably.

here's a live thing where the singer is literally about to cry

e: FFS, every time this Kodoku na Heaven song in SIF comes up on normal in the medley I keep failing because I can't tell what order to hit notes in halfway through the song when there is some fast stuff.

Also here's one where the singer literally cries.

Now I'm curious and trying to find that NicoMaki doujin.

This butcher shop AU is actually adorable and not concerning like one might expect from that description.

IIRC, it's just a page or two, not a full doujinshi. Makes it tricky to search for. I suspect I'll come across it again at some point.

I wonder what actually matters when it comes to how much bond you get from a song

It's chained notes.

quote:

  • +1 for every 10 notes that is not a multiple of 50 and under 200
  • +2 for every 10 notes that is not a multiple of 50 and over 200
  • +5 for every 50 notes that is not a multiple of 100
  • +10 for every 100 notes

And it counts that for each chain you get, so splitting a song in half with a missed note doesn't butcher the bond you get as much as you might expect. FCing a song gives you the most, but a different song with more notes can give you more even if you don't FC it. Difficulty doesn't enter the equation except that harder songs tend to have more notes.

Out of curiosity, did they go back and fix the animation? I vaguely remember the end of s1 flat-out missing some people in some broadcasts or something.

Quality imas sp translation: 3 options that all say "Good morning." They're all different, somehow. Also the a+ bug where it somehow played all possible outcomes of a dialog choice, in series.

It's great!

Anyway thank god the 4x options are here. I've been sitting on like 1500 tokens and the idea of going through that individually was making me sad.

f.e. Exactly 1500! Perfect!

IIRC they did end up fixing the animation at the end of s1. Thankfully. I think it was like you said, though I've only seen that kind of egregious lack of finish in old comparison clips of Hidamari Sketch episodes where some scenes are literally just like 20 seconds of a still abstract image.

I was wondering what the Korean solution for that one was, but there's like one let's play equivalent on youtube and he doesn't play far enough in for that to happen.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
Well the confusing thing is that there's more than three possible choices — I know I saw GOOD MORNING! and there's one that's apparently in english? But it seems to pick three at random, since "it worked last time she said x" doesn't reliably work.

Based on the reaction, there's also one that's probably just oha or something super cut down. I'd assume the korean one, not being translated by "some guy," actually paid attention to those differences.

Oh, good. I kinda figured they would've, but I never really bothered to check. I'd actually forgotten, until I came across a note I'd written about it.

Kinda wish I knew how to phrase it, because I know I saw some comparison somewhere, but I can't remember if it was a video or just some screenshots. It was pretty great, though.

Well, like Zep said it looks like a fan patch so there's a fair chance it's still bad, I was just curious how they'd handled it.. Since it's a roll of the dice anyway I guess the people doing the English one decided it didn't matter, particularly.
