Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone (arcade port) announced for PS4

I only have Dreamy Theatre 1 and that requires you to hook the PSP up every time (since it is used as the controller).
Yep. DT1 was the only one that requires a PSP connection at startup. You should pick up DT2; as yyr says, it contains literally all content DT1 does and no longer had the always-connected requirement.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "used as the controller", though, since I always just used a Dualshock 3.
 
Individual sizes for each pack (and the themes, too) are up:

Wish they would have stopped talking for a second while showing off the themes, it was hard to hear what the BGM was. Sounds just like some ambient music, but couldn't tell if it was different than the default.

It's been a fair while since I last booted it up, but I feel like I remember that you could use the PSP as the controller. Either way, you needed to connect it each time which was pretty annoying.

Pre-ordered. was about to pass on buying both packs at once with all the games releasing in the next few weeks/months, but this is a great value and I'm weak.

I'm going to buy my PS4 this week, I think I'll buy from the Sony store. Turns out you can get all the plates, but I'll just go with Aqua Blue.

Should I go white or black?

And the markup for those plates on eBay are insane. Lol
 
Pre ordered. It's Hatsune Miku, I had to.

I'm giving in. Is playasia the cheapest place to buy PSN card?

The prices don't seem to differ that much between sites from what I can see, a few $ at most. Play-Asia's prices are definitely good though. I only know for sure that Nippon Yasan is more expensive.
 
That or SolarisJapan, I believe. Used PlayAsia myself, and the code was emailed fast, where as I believe Solaris takes a day or so.
Yeah Play-Asia took maybe 10 minutes after I validated my email. Pre-ordered and also bought Namco games with the extra 1500 yen.
 
Preordered.

Hmm am I missing something but the future tone doesnt show up in my queue list.

edit: nvm had to manually add it through my ps4, weird stuff.
 
Question: is there any reason whatsoever not to choose Future Tone over Diva X if you don't care about story mode? The games are coming out quite close to each other and Future Tone seems objectively better than X. What's this about two song packs? On PSN the game is listed at ¥8,000 or so. Does this not contain all the songs?
X is a great game. If you're pressed for money and don't have the Miku bucks for both games, Future Tone is the way to go. But, if you enjoyed literally every other Miku game, X is a no-brainer IMO.

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and join MikuGAF in pre-ordering this. If I wait until tomorrow to do it, will I still make it in time to get the themes?

I'm so excited. So much Miku to keep me busy for days to come. And those themes are excellent. Sorry to waste a post on pointless rambling but I'm just that much into this.
 
I keep seeing folks suggesting Prelude goes live/is playable today, and I'm not sure where this rumour's come from. As far as I can tell the pre-load does start today (in 2/3 hours or so), but I'm pretty sure it all unlocks June 23rd JST.
 
Yeah, there's a bunch of misinformation about this release floating around elsewhere. The worst are the people who conflate the Project DIVA Arcade updates with this, because both bear the Future Tone label. I think it's a pretty obvious distinction; if it says Arcade (including in the abbreviation PDAFT) it doesn't apply to this release.

Anyway, reposting the countdown timer from a couple pages back:

Yeah I have seen some discussions suggesting new DLC songs coming to PS4 future tone, when I think they are just the regularly scheduled Arcade updates.

If we ever do get new songs as DLC, I would expect they would come several months after their arcade release, as Sega would still want people to go to the arcade and play first.

I left my JP account logged in and suspended while I'm at work today...I think it should start preloading before I get back?

It downloaded the themes so for a moment I thought I could use the themes right away, until I realized it's also locked along with the game.

Anyone want to post/write something to miku? Like those fan letter/message to your favorite idol/celebrity. Just for fun of course :p

Gonna quote those to the OT XD
 
Don't know why the themes are locked too but anyway, using the timer as reference, all the content will be unlocked on Wednesday, right?

Yes, it unlocks on June 23rd at midnight JST, which works out to 11 AM on June 22 EDT.

is there a western release date yet?

No, nor would I expect there to ever be one. It's been discussed to death in this thread already, and Sam's only comment on the matter was that there is no comment.

Dear Miku,

You have a lot of good songs, but so does Rin. Why do you get 90% of the spotlight?

Yep I feel bad for Rin and crew

Auto download didn't work as usual, but eventually got all the different pieces. Colorful Tone is still supposedly "waiting to install" and I don't see an option to force it, but hopefully everything will be sorted out come Wednesday.
 
That's why I just use Play-Asia... They might be a bit more expensive but the code comes immediately.

I tried buying it from Play-Asia but my bank kept declining the sale, even when I tried going through PayPal, so I reluctantly resorted to eBay. I would have much preferred to buy it from Play-Asia, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of calling my bank.

The seller I bought the code from has 100% positive rating, so I'm sure I'll get my code. I just wish they'd be a little quicker about it. I don't want to miss those pre-order themes :p


Edit: Speak of the devil, they just sent me the code! :D

Dear Miku,

Kaito sucks. Stop being in songs where you're in love with him or dancing with him.
