Remember that localization of F 2nd was announced three days before the Japanese release. (And X is releasing exactly two years to the day from that announcement.)
It's not like Sega of America can afford to put out prerelease media continuously. They would want to use as close to a final build as possible for it.

Has there been any news of someone making a ASC for PS4's new Miku game?

I'm cautiously optimistic re: X's localisation. There's little reason for why they wouldn't do it, but Sega are so inconsistent that you never know with them.
I've never beaten Gekishou's old chart on Extreme, so if they're using that instead of F 2nd's much easier version... may Miku have mercy on me.

Gekishou's old chart is just unfair to those who of us who don't have really fast fingers, I compensate with dual wield but it's just not enough for the chart in Extend I can't beat it at all.

This. It's just a stupid chart--difficult for difficulty's sake and no fun at all. It reminds me of some of the more mediocre user-created charts I've tried.

Look at all those songs that I haven't beat!

Considering that niche Japanese games are what sell the best on Vita, and that between f and f 2nd they went from digital only to physical release, I would be shocked if it were PS4 only. I can understand when they're reluctant to bring over untested brands to the Vita, but the Project Diva series has proven successful multiple times, Not bringing it over would just be throwing away money.

I personally took F 2nd's retail value halving within the first month of sale as a very bad sign in regards to how well it actually sold. I don't think F 2nd is a gamble that paid off.

So maybe they'll go back to digital only, but I just can't see going digital to physical to nothing at all.
Well shit, I mean I hope Project Mirai DX did well at least...
24k on NPD
Dunno if that's good or bad. Game sales for Japanese titles are super frontloaded nearly all the time so I find it unlikely that it ever surpassed 30k

Well. Famitsu has screenshots of the boss medley and I'm already terrified. I'm dreading seeing this in motion...
You don't know how happy I am right now. I was grinning from ear-to-ear for minutes.
This isn't the hardest note chart out there, I know, but it's been a personal rival of mine to say the least. Back in October 2014 I just wanted to clear the song. And clearing it the following month felt AWESOME. But I always told myself in the back of my head that a Perfect just wasn't in the cards.
Well, March 2016 with six hours put into the song has finally proven my notion WRONG! I finally perfected it. Nearly two years this has haunted me. And it's finally done. A weight lifted off of my back. Nothing but a joy is in that song now - It was my first Project Diva song ever thanks to the Vita demo so that already made it really special to me, it was my first Perfect (on Hard to boot), and now I can say it's Perfect on Extreme.
I'm just.
I'm so happy right now.

ohhh congratulations! I'm still chipping away at that perfect, myself. The second technical zone is my nemesis.
Pretty sure by December it was around 50k.
That sounds better than 24k.
Shit... I even remember cream posting that and I forgot... mark me down boys

Mitchie M is so best.

Could've used more Viva Happy, but that's still the best medley.
We don't know much about the PS4 version, but I really doubt it'll be 60 fps.

Why is that?
Ludger Kresnik

The Vita version and both Fs were 30 fps, even on PS3. The staggered release is imo just so the game is more profitable like F was, since F 2nd Vita totally cannibalised F 2nd PS3's sales in Japan.
obvs don't know for sure but I'm not expecting it outside of Future Tone.
Edit: Even the dev team has trouble getting a Perfect on the cosMo medley. Be very afraid.

I've heard rumors that PS3 kept the low fps cap for parity reasons. Can't do anything to threaten Vita sales!
I'm not sure I like the individual mixes for the Michie medley but as a whole it sounds very good.
It was a departure though since IIRC the Dreamy Theater games were 720p60.
PS4 though should have no technical reason to stay 30fps I would think.

Dreamy Theater was 60fps, yes. F and F 2nd being 30fps on PS3 was always kinda odd to me for that reason, so X on PS4 staying 30fps would only be for parity between the two versions. It cooooooould happen, but I'm not holding my breath.
This is soo true. I always thought the crowd glow stick animations could be better than what we've seen so far. To me, it always looks like that aspect was lazily done.
I'm not a fan of Mitch's signature vibrato(?) tuning to make it more human-like. The songs are great but that wobbly effect needs to go away or toned down.
Where did you order your copy at?
I just went through PlayAsia because I've never had issues with them. Never ordered from some of the other places that had cool pre-order bonuses, so... Sticking with what I know.
Was going to use AmiAmi, but a copy from them was like $10 more before shipping. :X

What? No, let's compare SKUs.
Japanese base version at Play-Asia: $56.99 USD.
Japanese base version at AmiAmi: 6,380 JPY = $56.27 USD (today's rate).
They seem to have the same price when you compare apples to apples.

I have this really odd problem where I can't play Project Diva at 60 fps. Dreamy Theater looks strange to me. The movement of the notes feels off. I can't stand it.
I know that 60 fps is objectively superior, and I know that it should in theory be making the game easier to play, but I just can't seem to get used to it. I'm too used to 30 fps.
I usually hate 30 fps btw. I essentially built a gaming PC so I wouldn't have to deal with low framerates.
Oh. Yeah, you're right. It turns out I was looking at their Bonus version (here), which is priced higher by ten dollars. I'm used to pre-order bonuses being "free" add-ons with releases in the West, so I figured it was just their base price. >.<
No big deal at least. I'm fine with PlayAsia. But that cleared my confusion!
That is strange! I can't say I've ever experienced notes feeling off with 30 or 60 FPS (the latter just tends to get me better scores). And I very rarely get to play games at 60 FPS due to a weak computer and the relative lack of 60 FPS console titles.

Don't the notes move at 60fps on the PS3 version of F 2nd? (Not sure about F, only have it on Vita.) They at least seem to move more fluid than on the Vita version.
I just want to see the 60fps music videos. There are quite a few 60fps videos on YouTube from the PD Arcade, and they look really good.

No, not even close.
Ludger Kresnik

No, they're still 30fps. It's just that the Vita version has this weird stuttering problem with the notes that isn't there on PS3 so they seem more fluid.

Ah that makes sense. Just looked up some footage of Dreamy Theater, can definitely see a difference compared to F.
Argh! Why couldn't Amazon have done this sooner with int'l shipping. That is a great price.
I was holding out as long as I could for a good price. ^_^ And that shipping time is AMAZING.
I celebrated by buying Project Diva X today! :3
Also I told all my friends in Steam chat lol.
New video.

I'm surprised that Hajimete sounds almost the same as the original, if not exactly the same.
The vocals at least seem to be untouched.
