Just a warning that the guaranteed SR for the 10 card draw ends next week.

Can't wait for the iOS version to come out probably after that point

My favourite translation is the translated iTunes name for the original game, 'Girlfriend before you go out' (Very popular with not only men but also women. Let's start your school life with truely cute girls!)

Worth mentioning the ticketboard (the easel on the left here) drops trainer tickets periodically. Levelling it up increases the chance of the drop being a master trainer.

It's actually really surprising to me that SIF just has a static background, I don't think I've played any rhythm game where that's the case. That said I have an iPhone 6 and the full effects mode still lags occasionally for half a second which is far too much for a rhythm game, so I'm thinking about turning it down.

There's usually some kind of benefit to doing 10-draws in these games but it's not necessarily the same one from week to week. Might just be a slightly higher chance of drawing SSR [idol of the week].

When does the guaranteed SR period end? I'm obscenely close to being able to do a ten pull, and it'd be devastating if I did it right after the promotion ended.

Actually on closer inspection it might be permanent, or at least, not going to end imminently, the timer is probably just for the SSR selection, like Overlord K said.

Sonata Mused posted:

Dang, it's probably because of dropbox being weird. I only managed to pull one SR during my 2500 gatcha pull. It's the girl with the glasses that I don't really recognize. I don't thinks he had a voice actress yet?

I'm pretty sure everyone with a VA is voicing their lines in the game, so if those are silent, then yeah.

Nice. I'm still on 'sometimes I can clear Pro songs', I should probably give Onegai Cinderella another try on Master, that seems to be set up (and rated, marginally) as the easiest.

The iOS version is available here (or search for 'starlight stage' in Japan iTunes). You do need a Japanese iTunes account but there's plenty of tutorials on the internet for that.

You can use Rares and above (and veteran trainers) to (possibly) improve the level of a character's special skill. This just happens on the regular lesson screen.

Polsy
Mar 23, 2007

You can simultaneously field a + idol and her non-+ self (though it picks a random different character model) if you think the special effect is worth it. At least, I think so, it works for Normal and Normal+ and the text it pops up seems to say both special effects apply.

Oh, the upcoming Starlight Stage event name is an existing song, I was thinking it seemed like a weird name to have in a game you were selling on Android.

Polsy

New Starlight Stage event (also new furniture)

Play normal songs to get usable points to play the special song with (and event points) to get more event points, win prizes. Pretty straightforward.

e: There's also additional communication event(s) with star jewel rewards for playing with Uzuki/Miho/Nana, if you have them actually I guess they happen regardless

Wow, how can you possibly practice anything right now when it might make you miss out on event points. Though there's either been a significant dropoff or nobody was playing over the weekend because I've gained a lot of ranking places.

Because Otomemory gain is dependent solely on score rank (I believe) and I know my primary Cute team can S-score the song. :3:

Is there an optimum way to level up idols like this? Like, would mashing multiple identical idols together into a higher star idol make for better fodder or does it not matter?

It doesn't matter significantly. In practice you're going to end up with more Normal idols than you know what to do with so it's not really worth trying to figure out any marginally better optimal merging order.

The hilarious trade-off is that not all SRs are voiced. A friend of mine explained it to me that they poll who should be the next to receive a voice, and one of those SRs I got back in this post doesn't have a voice.

Yeah, I'm not clear on how many SRs there actually are but it seems weird to pick unvoiced idols. Unless they deliberately did it to limit the number of people they had to get in to voice lines. Though, I'm not sorry I didn't have to sit through this voiced -

Regular. The center skills all seem to be 'all [my type] idols [stat] up' where stat is one of vocal/dance/visual/life/skill chance.

So when I'm leveling up my skills through tickets and whatnot, when it says I boosted my skill from 1 to 2, does that mean I went from low to medium according to that graph or are there subdivisions within the low, medium, high levels?

I presume subdivisions, the descriptive text with the numbers of seconds and the low/medium/high chance doesn't change at all when you level up. e: at least, from 1 to 2

Is there a translated list of all the mission requirements? I'm stuck on mission eight where you're supposed to apparently do the rock song on debut I think? I don't know.

The missions are all do whichever song was the previous one you unlocked, on Debut or higher, plus there's a level requirement. I don't remember what it was for 8 but if you go to the communication for it (コミュ, ストーリーコミュ) and tap the grey mission it'll have the required level in the pink text above the song.

So I got like two S Rares that I was looking forward to in some way, that's pretty nice. I already have a fully maxed regular Kaede on my roster, is there any point to keeping her or should I mash her and the extra Kaede I got in this pull into the S Rare version?

If you're a big fan of hers and/or you really like her skills you can have multiple (different rarity) of her in the same unit, though she'll be displayed as a random different model when you're actually playing songs. Otherwise, no, no point.

pandaK posted:

e: I guess now's a good enough time to start making specialized teams. Would it be better to stick one of my already maxed idols in the center even if they aren't S Rare or should I put the fresh S Rares in the middle? Unless the S Rares tend to just overall tend to have stronger center skills anyways?

Yeah, S Rares definitely have better (generally twice as effective over Rares) center skills. eg for vocal/dance/visual stat ups, SRs give you +60% but Rs are only +30%.

I think there was also one that might've been not strictly related to one idol? I got a screenshot a while back, at least.

They're all saved under the relevant idol (plus Chihiro) in the idol topics (アイドルトピックス) menu section, other than the last one is a convenient 'etc' section for anything that doesn't fit. Can't believe I'm still missing one considering how many loading transitions I've been through.

Yeah. I really want all my furniture to be interactable but that means I have to leave weird gaps in places because I can't turn the furniture so it fits well without blocking off the interaction spot.
