Yep. I wouldn't say it was dominated by LL, iirc they all got roughly the same amount of time/songs in, but what Allarion said basically. That said, I was in the front row and it was hype as hell up there.

All the idols have posted about the experience and they were all super impressed at how enthusiastic we were. They had as much fun as we did. Hopefully this means they come back.

I think this is my first time getting two UR in a pull. That Angel Mari is drat near basically the second-best cool scorer in the game, and (both! I have that SR in my present box!) smile Mari goes perfectly with how my (:love:) Job Dia (:love:)'s center skill is upping the 3rd years. Man the year-based team center skill is so much better than the subunit one. It made me belatedly realize it's kind of a shame Guilty Kiss is so boss, because they're the only subunit without two members from the same year. (Lily White was like that too)

You see that's a pun because shiny things shine, but also shine means die which is my catchphrase when people pull URs.

Nice pull, have yet to hit a double UR myself.

My own latest pull wasn't so bad, I guess:

Two SRs from the new Animal set, just waiting for a couple more Seals to idolize the Mari.

My cousin and I were talking about Macross and that led to my wondering why idol+mecha isn't a thing right now, given the popularity of idols. Is there even fan art of Nico Nico piloting a transforming mech??

I just bought clippers. They literally arrived yesterday. These are also the god hand versions so they're already really expensive and not worth it for the price anyway, since you use an exacto knife at that point.

It's good




First event hasn't started yet so we don't know how they're going to be, but there's 12 songs to play with for now and all that good early levelling up stuff.

Gameplay is somewhat Starlight Stage-y, minus slides, plus flicks (3 directions). The difficulties are 2 note targets, 4, 6 and then 6 but harder. Also easy solo/hard solo which is played vertically with again, 2 targets.

I'm liking it a lot. It's removed most of the tedium from idol management by having unlimited space and automatically turning duplicates into experience and an item used to increase star level, there's a way to quickly spend stamina without playing songs, and they've removed friends points in favor of a system that goes you a real draw occasionally by building up points you get from doing things. The idols wander around the theater in 3d on the main menu and chat with you, they send you text messages (in game) and update their blogs, the choreography is varied and dynamic, the songs are fun, and the idols are cute.

It's also a battery-killer, has monstrous requirements to play on max settings, and is finicky and doesn't run on some phones (:rip: zep), but nothing's prefect.

theater days

pros:
og im@ses!
nicer graphics?
no inventory limits
no big slide chains
more charts per song
you can grind free solo pulls
there are per-idol dress drops
the equivalent of a 'nice' doesnt break combo
i got 2 ssrs to start and have since pulled a 3rd

cons:
energy only lets you play like 2.5 songs at a time
lots of loading times for the commus and moving around the office
the songs are largely straight-ahead synthy jpop and less varied than CG
card art is less interesting and its too hard to read the english names on them
the notes are really small and the... lower frame rate? makes hitting them less satisfying
you can do convo grinding like bandori but its kinda busywork if you don't know japanese
i like the art direction/aesthetic of CG better (like none of the ML ssrs I have are particularly cute)

slides are still in for the harder difficulties, they just look like a bunch of flicks you can't possibly do by flicking each one individually. e: also some holds will now make you slide and release on a different note target too

The no combo break for 'good' is weird but I guess I can't really complain.

The original SS SSR card art wasn't particularly interesting so I'm willing to see what comes later. Obviously the N/R stuff is meh but if you look at ML it's not like they're incapable of making good cards (assuming some of the same people are involved).
