It works out better on an arcade cabinet, as the buttons both have surprisingly little travel (so it's easier to mash on them) and the buttons are also big enough so that alternating inputs with both hands is very possible.
One thing that people should be aware of that makes playing with a controller miles easier is that you can use multi-button binds to keep holds. In particular, a button bound to all four buttons can be used to keep a hold of any kind. So you can get a hold on O, hit O and then whatever button you have bound to all four buttons and then release the initial input and keep the hold. You can stack holds like this, but you have to have at least one input on all of the held buttons or it will end. You can cheese this by using two all-button binds -- you hold one for the first input, and then after the second hold hold the OTHER bind and release the first one. It turns out that hitting the same button you're holding only drops the hold if an actual note judgement is assessed.
I was wondering what they were going to do with the avatars, as they were a pre-order bonus for the Japanese version. Looking forward to having Mikudayo stare into everyone's souls.
The season pack is that sale, $5 off all three packs plus many, many avatars not obtainable otherwise.
I reached 100 perfects on extreme. Highest difficulty is 8.5, hopefully I can keep improving and eventually do the hardest stuff. Didn't think I'd get so ridiculously hooked on these games when I picked up f last year. Most addictive games I've ever played.
I bought the season pass so much content in Future Tone just had to support SEGA on this one but....all the avatars are still listed as being .99 cents for me?
Thing is as a season pass purchaser none of the avatars are listed on my list yet. So I have no idea what is going on.
I'm such trash at doing like multi-tap notes on Hard Mode.
Anyone have any tips or any thing? I've been floating around on Normal mode for awhile. Decided to go on hard mode and tried Afterburner and that went okay. Tried a few other songs and the double triple tap notes are just killing me. Maybe I just need to keep bashing my head against it to get used to hard mode.
This is probably gonna sound like a stupid question. But, what does this message mean? I only get it with future tone, and I'm wondering what it means?

I had some big trouble getting the hang on combo notes at first, but I watched that video linked above and used his macros on the shoulder buttons (although I did change so 4-note combos are on bumpers instead of the triggers because it felt better to me). It's all about learning the patterns they show up in. It takes a while to get the hang of it but after having gone through the first 120-ish songs on hard in the past couple of days (sorted by difficulty) I have pretty much gotten down the normal 2-note combos and the triangle shaped 3-note combos to the point where I barely have to think about what button to press.
I have not gotten to the combo notes that show up in a vertical line yet, so I still have some stuff to learn there but that's not something you will need to think about for quite some time if you just are starting out on hard.
But do watch that entire video, because it was really helpful to me as a new player, especially the part about doing hold notes. That's the first thing you should really work at (unless you already are doing it that way) because it's gonna feel really awkward for a while. When I started doing the switch it took me a good second from pressing a hold note with my thumb, to pressing and holding a shoulder button and then letting go of the face button. Now it just happens in one quick motion, I still mess it up from time to time but I'm still a newbie in the grand scheme of things with my total of maybe 15 hours in the past week.

Woo, second song I've managed to perfect on my sightread \o/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-kXdVFDCoU
Perhaps not very difficult for all you people doing extreme songs, but I only have one week of experience with a rhythm game like this, so I have to start somewhere.
Only other rhythm games I've put any time into were Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and
they don't really help much in the gameplay department here.
Do you alternate between pressing the face buttons and d-pad?
Are you on a PS4 Pro? Future Tone is one of the (surprisingly small handful of) games that directly integrates with the Share screenshot function, so I've always assumed that this message means it doesn't support the '4k' resolution screenshot option that the Pro has. I get that popup as well and I'm pretty sure I never saw it before upgrading. (Though I may well be mistaken as I hadn't played the game for a while by time I upgraded.)This is probably gonna sound like a stupid question. But, what does this message mean? I only get it with future tone, and I'm wondering what it means?
And then I tried the ex extreme version and struggled to clear it... lol. Hard as hell.
