Well he's right.

Also "Fewer than 5 bad/miss, life 90+%, score 400,000" single song.
Is the last goddamn stop on the tour just gonna be a straight-up "Full Combo or gently caress off"?

Amazingly, I did that on Pro Osanpo Camera. Close as hell, though. 400k on a single song with Pro can be rough.

It's kinda fun on Master if you're into the groove, but if you're say, half-asleep it is hell.
Plus, it and everything around it is really not the sort of thing you want to be playing with a limited number of misses. They're all some combination of slider hell and "nah, you weren't holding that" for me.

Also hey the wiki says you can get Mios and Rins as mission completion rewards for the hidden 5th stages of the various areas. Which I guess unlock from clearing all the fourth missions which unlock from clearing everywhere's three? Seems they're not too clear on that over in wikisville.

Also hahaha 3 song, 2million score, 1,500 combo, you get 3 misses.

Although I kinda don't remember combo carrying over between songs? Maybe I'm just too rubbish for that to happen. Because if it's just requiring you to have made a series of combos totalling 1500, that's easy enough unless you're playing onegai three times or something.

MAXコンボが合計1,500以上 is the same as the max. miss/bad phrasing, though, and that carries over across songs.

I don't think any of those are actual combo needing to be that high. You just need that many Perfect/Greats. Combo doesn't carry over between songs.

MAXコンボが合計○以上 is a separate mission from PERFECT、GREATが合計○以上.

The wiki explains the max combo one as totaling your max combos from each song so I'm guessing it takes your highest combo from each song and adds it up.

No, that definitely says combo.

It's also the 50 stamina mission 5 of the EX area, apparently. Those are in the places that are suspiciously empty for me right now. Which is nice, because it'd be weird to be in the Kyoto-ish region and not have a concert in Kyoto or Osaka. Same with the NE region and nothing on Hokkaido.

What the heck, apparently prices in EN SIF are different between Android and iOS??? Android has very slightly cheaper love gems, significantly more expensive limited packs.

I think pointswise I'm halfway to Mio and 1/3 to Rin, so that's probably alright-ish. I'd say I'm also halfway to Mio and 1/4 way to Rin attendance-wise, but the number of attendees seems to increase depending on where you are, so it feels kinda difficult to estimate.

So instead, lets bask in the fact that the song high score for「Story」is a hair over 1million. I think I may have managed a 500k, once.

Whoever it was that said that Riko is mad depressing in her quotes on the main screen, she really is. I mean, drat girl, cheer up! I like her anime incarnation better, but in game, she just seems like a super downer.

Also, this event is kicking my rear end trying to stay safely in the middle of Tier 3 for the Dia SR. Probably gonna need to blow some more loveca soon to maintain rank when I wake up tomorrow, but that's not too bad since they're tossing them out like crazy with new idolizations, update rewards, goals and such.

I have to say, Rin and Mio are a bit more involved in terms of points / fans than might appear at first blush. I've hit the bricks plenty of times, and I'm still shy of getting Mio (9677 / 10000), and I'm still a long way from Rin (need 15,000 or 1 million fans. I'll almost certainly get 15,000 first).

I do have to wonder how they'll change up Live Parades in the future. Event songs, you get a new song / outfits / idol cards, and it's a different experience each time with a new song, even the means of progressing in the event is always the same. Live Bursts are the same thing, just with different rules, and Live Parties have the novelty of having co-op / competitive lives.

On the bright side, you have almost a week left and the goal can't run away from you this time.
It's possible to get Rin early if you can manage to clear the last area and then finish the fifth event anywhere in the last three.

Yeah, she's much more fun in the anime, but on the other hand, in between "yo I suck" I did learn she likes to paint. So that's pretty nice. …Somehow the quote about the sandwich seems weird. Like, not just 'hurrhuhrr make me a sammich' weird, but like, why a sandwich in particular?

Wouldn't you be at least halfway there on fans by the time you unlock EX mode, let alone the 5th tier events everywhere? The unlock total has to be at least 500,000.

idolized, isn't it? Donno about the top right, but top left is the idolized marker. Maybe that's where it is on the cards themselves? I haven't paid that much attention/too many random cards idolized, not enough leveled/bonded.

Oh okay yeah that is it exactly. And the thing on the zoom is just whether they are in idol form or not.

I was looking for the deeper shade of red bloom to indicate a specific card was idolized. I... guess I probably made a mistake or two churning through a couple hundred normies.

I almost have 150 gems for the solo Maki box (whenever these actually come). I think I have another 50-60 gems I can farm out of max bonding and idolizing all the random R's and Normies. Should bring me up enough to do a full Aqours pull after the event. Yay!

Also the missions in the 5th and 6th areas of the Live Parade are KINDA MEAN SOMETIMES. I failed the 80% life missions for so long because I was running the Kyoko SR from Love Letter and she is hell bent on me having to FC everything or die. This has since been corrected.

I swapped my secondary type teams to have a no damage or second healer for those life 80+% remaining missions. It's still a bit of a crapshoot with certain songs, but it helps a little.

Oh yeah it's very much a one-trick pony, but that one trick is excellent if it's what you're doing. Probably the best option for making sweeping changes without being the sims and letting you shift-drag stuff. Now if only I could buy multiple things all at once, or select stuff from storage without the panel closing itself every time…

drat the first mission in the EX area is tough. 90%+ life left and 450k on a single song, without a support idol. Not that easy. I figure Rockin' Emotion Master is my best shot, and even then, I'd have to have a pitch-perfect run at it.

Late Edit:



Had to bring out all the big guns for this. Anya / Miu for healing, Arisu for Overload, and my SSR Minami / Sachiko for Overload / Points respectively. That was pretty rough, lemme tell ya. A Full Combo on Bright Blue was basically the only way my current skill level could make that 450k hurdle.

Also, Bright Blue may not be trending in the game, but it's always trending in my heart.

I feel like trying to work the kabedon thing into a 2second voice clip like that would be kinda impossible. Really, more "sure I'll do you a favor but you can't copy my homework" and less "I AM THE GREYEST GIRL IN TOKYOTHE STICKS" would be nice.

I've had Ruby, Mari, Dia, Chika, Yohane, Maru, and You pop up for me randomly when playing in Aqours mode that I remember. Ruby is a nervous wreck and such, even more so than Riko; Dia is all imperious and to the point, but she has a cute line or two (pudding!); Chika is her normal hyper self and talks about her family's inn from time to time; Yohane is Yohane; Mari peppers in foreign words and talks about rock and roll and riding horses sometimes; and Maru talks about reading and says "Zura" a couple times, apologizing for her accent when she catches herself during those lines; You talks about sailing and boats and high dives, no uniform talk in sight save for (I think?) a Side Story during her intro (and maybe one of the Aqours stories when they introduce the second years? I forget).

They're no more broken records than the µ's members when you hear their lines so often.

I kinda wish that when other people pop in on the home screen, they stuck around for a bit, rather than vanishing when you change pages. Half the time I've clicked to another tab before I even realize, so the most I've heard from them in that mode is "don't forget about me" phrased like 20 different ways.

Also lol still haven't unlocked EXarea. Should probably remember to use the +x% items, and then also not do so only to gently caress up one of the missions and maybe end up with a few less attendees than if I hadn't messed up in the first place.

I feel like I discovered this ages ago and forgot, but expiring premium currency (loveca/star jewels/etc.) is some mobage-rear end poo poo and it is awful. That said, I did finally get a Plat-ranked idol in tokyo 7th because I had to spend them.
