Looks like somebody needs more idols.

Then again, pretty sure that statement can equally apply to any situation one might find themselves in.

Also, what are the mission conditions for the 50-stamina medley in the EX area? I can parse 1400 Greats / Perfects (which will *probably* be the hardest?), and 1,000,000 points (that's not so bad), but I'm a little scared to know what the second condition is.

It's 1 million combined points, 1400 combined perfects/greats, and 1000 combined combo(ie the sum of your largest combo from each song). Pretty worth it if you can get it consistently though, since it gives the highest audience rate per stamina. If you choose all popular songs, buy fireworks, and fulfill all objectives, that gets you an audience of 25,000 and change.

Oh, that's not so bad. Between Pro Osanpo Camera, Pro Rockin' Emotion, and Pro Evo! Revo! Generation!, I could get a 1000 combined combo in my sleep. But those three songs don't add up to 1400. So I'll probably run with Master Saite Jewel, Pro Near to You, and Master Rockin' Emotion. Still, it'll be a tight fit.

Yeah, same. I currently have the Event Ruby SR as my Partner character and main team center, and while she's pretty shy and such, her unique line referencing Tanabata is pretty good, even if it's been like 3 months since Tanabata (7/7 on the western calendar, the Chinese version still goes off lunar months). But I guess EN SIF has to run the events in the same order JP does, and this was just the next one on the list. Guess it's about as strange as hearing my Event Pana SR reference rolling dumplings for the moon/mid-autumn festival even though that was last month.

Anyway, it'll probably change to whatever new SR I pull next, or the Dia SR from this event if I manage to keep in Tier 3... Barley holding on, but I hopefully should be able to maintain my position by spending only a minimum of loveca, if working NYCC this weekend and surviving on the Javits Center's lovely WiFi doesn't throw everything out of whack with loads of unspent LP not turned into Event points...

Yeah, that surprised me when I first saw it in one of the Aqours story chapters, in the one where the first years were introducing themselves, I think. That got left out of the anime, but I guess that bit of info was in the previously released promo material? I've had Zuramaru pop in a couple times on my home screen, but I don't think she said anything about Uranahoshi being a Catholic School in those cut-ins, or if she did, I hit another screen too quickly to read that bit and only noticed it was Zuramaru on the screen to see other messages on screen.

I've actually had Eli telling me how nice the Christmas lights look for the better part of a year. It's fine~

I assumed Hanamaru meant her middle school was a catholic one, but Uranahoshi being a catholic school (in the middle of nowhere) rather explains its problems, huh?

This is what I got when Hanamaru invaded my home screen:


That doesn't even make any sense; why are you even here then.

Also I've just noticed that the Live Show badge keeps separate counts for Aqours and µs mode and now I'm very sad.


Anyway you know what's cool? Crashing in the middle of a song. Know what's even cooler? Restarting and getting to replay that song — without any sound what-so-ever. It was actually kinda eerie. Also I somehow managed a 300-something combo in perfect silence, which I think is pretty good.

And that's the story of how I beat the EX.Tokyo mission, even if I had to play Kimagure⭐︎Café au lait! 1.5 times. Because none of todays songs are really good for me, combo-wise.

Man, some of these 4th missions are just outright "you can't do this on Pro, unless you wanna FC Tokimeki," huh? Or the Ex.Chiba where you need a 600+ note song, period.

I won't say the game coming up silent for me is common exactly, but I would say probably weekly, I don't know how it manages it. I usually notice the title screen silence before I get as far as a song. Usually.

Weekly? Goddamn, it's only happened to me like, twice?

I did manage to break audio output on my iphone earlier, but that was because I was dicking around with recording and switching the audio input setting in quicktime. And that was fixed by just unplugging & replugging in my headphones. Well, mostly. Then the app I was using stopped playing music for a bit, only sfx. What I'm getting at is that audio is probably a bit more fragile than you'd expect.

Looking at the list, I've S-combo'd some 600+ songs, but like, they were almost entirely lucky bounces. Absolute NIne, Naked Romance (is that seriously longer than Hanakanzashi?), or a very good run on Rockin' Emotion are my best bets, and that's all gonna be "stack healers and overload and pray" sorta stuff. But looking at the list properly, that's a pretty small selection of songs. I know it's smart enough to know when your remaining songs don't have enough notes to meet the combo requirement (it'll say failed under the little flag button between songs!), but I wonder if it'll be smart enough to not offer you something too short.

The first thing I do when I open the app fresh is drum my fingers on the screen to get past the title screen asap (also as a bonus it used to double up the voices occasionally, in previous versions), I don't know if that upsets it.

But yeah, I know recording makes things reset, for my recording setup where I can also hear the sound real-time so I can play rhythm games I have to plug a headphone splitter in after opening the device in QuickTime. I should try opening it up in QT next time it breaks, though it's not like it'd be more convenient than just restarting the app.

Basically, my policy now with the Live Parade is to have fun, because I got both Mio and Rin and some of those Level 5 missions are, uh...not quite what I'm capable of at this point. I'm trying to pick off a few Level 4 missions, but it ain't easy. I kinda wish, though, the game wouldn't suggest song selections that make it literally impossible to get all three objectives. Very misleading.

Edit: This is really cool. I had no idea New Generations was a fan creation.

Not that I've looked too carefully, but I haven't actually found any documentation for it besides "if you plug in your phone, you can record in quicktime!" But it seems that selecting phone audio as the input takes over all of the device's audio, regardless of what the ringer switch is set to. However if you then select another audio in in quicktime, it only releases the phone audio, it doesn't put it back to what it was — hence my needing to plug the headphones back in. Killing the app would almost definitely be quicker, yeah. Possibly ending the song and then loading another one (fully loading, not the preview from the stage select) might also fix it — it stopped that goddamn point-counter noise for me, but that would take ages and is therefore an utterly crap solution.

But yeah, mostly I didn't notice because I hammer my way past all the loading screens (even the black screen with the text goes away faster if you tap, it's not strictly timed!) with my headphones out, so if the audio just up and left like that on me regularly I'd be caught out every drat time.
