Just one week to go!
I never touched the Diva Room stuff in either PDF game, aside from once when I think I gave Rin a cookie in PDF1.

I microwave steaks.
I rarely do that sim stuff, but the rhythm gaming parts are usually spot on.

Thank god i have the time to play both the phantom pain and miku.
I didn't do much in the PD games either, but Miku and friends are just cuter in PM and oddly more fun to watch and interact with. No petting BS.

I like buying furniture and decorations for they're room, but I don't feed my vocaloids or interact with them too much.
Guess I'll ask, how much is there to unlock in comparison to the Project Diva games? F/f 2nd kind of got out of hand with some of its requirements (screw playing Miku Miku You For Real THIRTY TIMES) but I still liked for the most part how there was a good amount of content to unlock, even if I didn't care for the custom items most of the time (though I'm fine with costumes if I can find the song that best matches it).
Oh, nice. That always came off as a little odd to me, and it didn't seem to work 100% of the time. I hope I enjoy the room stuff more in PM.

As much as I like rubbing Kaito's face, trophy grinding completely ruined the Diva rooms for me. It'll be nice to not have to worry about getting every single event again.......
Oh Diva Room.
I never even touched the modes until some point last month when my brother said we should check it out. We saw Miku stand up, walk a boom box into the corner of the room, and then start doing some weird jig. After chuckling at that, our sisters walked in the room and we started giving gifts... Oh man, so much laughing. The animations for gifts can be fun to watch in a goofy sense. That said, after those twenty~thirty minutes it's never been touched again. :X

I've put over 6 hours into the demo already. I am ready for this game to release!

It's apparently fixed. You have to re-DL the demo though.
Redownloading doesn't work if you used your one try already. It seems whatever system they use just remembers "you're done".
heh I don't gotta worry about the holiday. Amazon'll ship it a week later ;_;
You can use either buttons or the stylus to play. Both control types have unique note maps for every song too, so each song has quite a few ways of playing it when you factor in all the difficulty levels.
That's neat.
I think it helps that the room is the top screen at the home menu, so you can't miss it. It makes it more worthwhile to decorate the room and customize the characters (it's not as detailed as in the PD games though).
So here are my efforts after messing around on my friend's JP copy (all button mode):
SING＆SMILE (Extreme)
Tricolor Airline (Hard)
and Senbonzakura (Hard)
Well done! I wonder why they changed the SS grade to S+ in the US version...
I can only guess, maybe a weird aesthetic choice like how Diva F 2nd had good instead of fine?
Quite right, didn't think of that one.
If you Google SS, you predominantly get the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
I guess because in so many games, SS means there's an SSS grade as well, and they wanted to make it clear that isn't the case in this game? IDK.
Ohhhh. Yeah, good point.

Welp there's a random Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference in the English version , wonder if it was in Japanese version or it got added by the localization crew.
That seems extremely overkill in terms of self-censorship... but it's not like anything valuable was lost (unlike the cool S-Ranks which were removed from VC for no reason...)

I'm not sure this would qualify as censorship. It's simple cultural sensitivity. What if the rank had been "KKK"?
Actually, it's not totally random. It's part of Rin's meme background. But incidentally, that specific text isn't in the JP version.
KKK and SS don't even have a remotely similar history in games. S, SS, and SSS are traditionally used for ranks in all sorts of Western and Japanese games for the "Superior" rank, KKK is not.
Who on earth would associate Miku with the Nazis when there's loads of precedent for the S-Rank in English language games? Would such an idiot be entertained for more than a second?
It's hardly anything worth getting upset over but censorship is censorship.

When children disappointed that their TV show was unexpectedly re-scheduled makes headlines*, you realise that the 24-hour news cycle will blow up anything and everything to get views. It's sad, but companies just don't want to run the risk I guess.

I don't know, how come Devil May Cry kept SS & SSS ranks in all its games here in the US. Granted, it'd stand for "SSSensational" or something.
My mind never went to this when I'd play certain Bemani games & aimed for SS rankings (or SSS). I don't know if that's the actual reason (maybe we can get some word from Sega as to why?), but it's such a small change that really doesn't affect anything in the long run. If this turns out to be the actual reason, well, guess they did it now instead of someone possibly complaining about it after the game's release & we all groan they had to release a patch to change the rating name.
There's infinite examples of people losing their minds over something dumb (that article sure is doing a good job at making three tweets and two facebook posts = all Aussies screaming in anger, by the way). But it's no excuse for intentionally giving into a culture of fear that has long passed.
Game ranks = serious business
Actually, I did by asking about the score.
Yes it does.
