Interesting. For me, it was Luka and Ren.
I remember thinking that the demos that I had downloaded for Project Diva 2nd and Extend were busted whenever the arrows came up. It only occurred to me now that the W in the arrows could stand for "Double" as in press both the directional button and the face button corresponding to it. BINGO!! I feel like such an idiot.
Man, I thought Theatrhythm FF would make it impossible for me to get back to button-based rhythm games, but I'm glad to be wrong. The stars that come up are interesting to work with, one of these days I'll get a perfect chain clear without those messing me up. Is anybody else trying not to watch the goings-on of the music video behind the buttons as they come up?
Bottom line, I think this'll be the most fun I have with a rhythm music title and a Miku game, and I'm bummed that I'm playing this on my U.S. PSN account which means I won't be able to get the DLC that I'm sure is coming.
Any bets on the PS3 version of this game having Cross Controller compatibility with the Vita to solve the flicking stars issue, if not with analog sticks or an iffy PS Move functionality?

Some notes so far:
- The in-game PVs are definitely sub-native resolution, same way they are in the menus. The only things getting rendered at native res are the bitmapped elements like the interface and title cards.
- Your grade is based on rank points, with the maximum rank points possible being 100. 89 rank points are earned by getting Cool and Fine judgements (they're worth the same), 5 points are earned by earning Chance Time Success, and 6 points are earned by clearing Technical Zones.
- Timing is definitely different from previous iterations. Not sure if all songs are synced properly yet.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Dang, I was hoping that everything would be rendered in native resolution. I may probably wait for the PS3 release

Considering we know next to nothing about how this will work on PS3 or if the PS3 version even still exists, I don't really think this is a big enough issue to skip it entirely for. It actually isn't really all that noticeable for most people judging by no one here mentioning it - I'm just ridiculously sensitive to this sort of thing.

True, I already have Project Diva for the PSP anyways, so it is a huge upgrade regardless.
I heard they had a whole new song list, how does that compare to Project Diva and Project Diva 2nd?

My copy shipped yesterday, I think it will take 3 weeks or something before I'll have my hands on it.

I just got the game myself last night. Sadly first time I preordered a game from Amazon.jp and it didn't actually come on the day of release for some reason. Anyway really enjoying it. Only just recently got into the PSP games. Touch controls surprised me at first but I've gotten used to them. Fun game so far.
Amazon is pretty bad when it comes to the release day delivery. I personally use the Yodobashi Camera online store for my day 1 purchases.

Intresting ..so these events are dynamic ?
Anyway the diva roms are a vast improvement over the psp version
PS Move is a big NO..
Their best bet is to use the analog sticks for the star notes ( or sixaxis movements )
Timing is weird in extreme difficulty ..i'm sure that's because i'm not accustomed to this difficulty yet.
The normal difficulty uses a lot of circle + triangle when in previous games this was more of circle + cross.
The sub rez is a no issue. the game is gorgeous and uses a lot of effects..
The game need headphones to be enjoyed properly...

No reason to wait , the ps3 release is far in the future and the game is a good game and is beautifull.Given what the game throw at you if you like project diva ..there is no point to wait , especially for such a reason
i suggest playing with headphones and removing the button press sound effects ( put them on off but keep the star not sound effects )..
it'll be much better to enjoy the music

How are them trophies?
Pretty straightforward I guess, there's a list earlier in this thread. No trophies for completing the songs on Extreme, which is good for bad players like me.

Too bad about the ingame PVs. Guess I'm waiting to see if a PS3 version still forms next year as originally announced.

Maybe it's because of new game hype but I think the sub-native res actually helps this game (and I hate sub-native with a passion), it makes me think parts of the game are pre-rendered movies (ovbiously not the character models because of the multiple costumes), it has a certain "video fuzziness" thing going for it. Parts of Odds & Ends are definetly pre-rendered, though. I like how they use a lot of different styles and techniques for the PVs.

guhhh still waiting for my copy to ship, which won't until monday or tuesday now ):
But in different news, has anyone seen the Hatsune Miku 5th Anniversary Medley? It's pretty good! Youtube link.
There's a subjective scene in it somewhere, so... be warned?

Doing an (extremely blurry) stream of Project DIVA f now: http://www.twitch.tv/starcreator/
EDIT: Done streaming for now. Recording is up but there are a lot of technical issues with this. Might not be a second time given how uncomfortable this was.

They added the video for Netgame Addicts Sprechchor into the PSO2 in-game video feed.

Yep, been happening since the 30th. The frequency of the video has cut down a lot since then, actually - now the screens are also showing otherstuff whereas before it was nonstop Miku, even during emergencies.

Heh, I posted the wrong link and fixed it a little while later without saying so. It's a 15 minute medley.

actually not really ...20-25 hours sould be enough if you've played previous games

Yeah, having played the other games, I think this could be my first platinum.

For thos ewondering the play staff roll mini game is for playing it after unlocking it ... the staff rool you play when you clear all songs the first time doesn't count ..
Oh your stuff arrived! You bought the accessory pack right? How is it?
StarCreator
Member
Not really sure I can recommend the accessory pack honestly; the Vita case is actually so large that the Vita bounces around inside it and I can't say I found anything in the box very attractive.

Got the Platinum yesterday (took about 23 hours for me). It will take longer depending on your skill level (I was able to crank out a guaranteed 90-120k DP per song when I needed to farm points).
I love the game -- music is great, very fond of the selection, and I think the PVs look amazing. The Platinum itself was somewhat annoying, but I guess that is mostly because I'm not a huge fan of the "My Room" component in games like this, and that is what a lot of the trophies revolved around.
Also love the fact that there is SO MUCH loading screen artwork and you can go into the viewer, screenshot it, and use it for wallpapers and the like
If anyone out there playing is a decent level player and wants to do some score competition for fun, hit me up!

Wow, congrats on the platinum, I'm 33 hours in and I still have to buy lots of furniture and accesories. How did you get the "Play your favorite edit" trophy? I don't see a way to give "favorite" status to any song. Or is it something else?
Speaking of score competitions, it baffles me that they did include online functionality in the form of edit songs but they still seem reluctant to add leaderboards when they're a no-brainer for this type of game.
That aside, anyone knows what are the alarm and kitchen timer for? Are they intended to be used like normal alarms? Wouldn't the Vita's sleep mode defeat their purpose?
Aw sucks to hear, was hoping the case would be decent. Guess I will pass on the pack then.

For the playing your favorite edit trophy, all you have to do is download an edit data, and when you go to play it, there is a button you can press (maybe triangle?) to "favorite" it. After that just exit out to the main menu. You don't even actually have to play the song.
I'm also baffled by the lack of score sharing. You can send your profile to other people, who can check your scores from there, but even this can only be done locally. So strange.
As far as the alarm and timer, not sure if there is much practical use. Maybe if you leave your Vita charging on a cradle you could use them? I'm not sure if they override the sleep on the Vita or not.

are there already edit for diva F at the usual places ? how do i use them ?
Also while you have a diva F page active , on your vita , the vita will refuse to totally go to sleep and will turn off the screen only ..this does drain the battery a lot ( remember guys, TURN OFF if you want to keep battery.
I think this will be used with clock and alarm object ... wlll try and report..

Edits are centralized now, so you can upload and download edits from within the game itself. You still have to supply your own MP3 though if it doesn't use one of the songs the game comes with (in addition to the playable songs, there are a few older songs available in edit mode like World is mine and Miku miku ni shite ageru - though not as many as the previous games and nothing we haven't already heard).

My package was shipped the other day but I didn't get a tracking number, so the wait is going to destroy me.
EDIT: I guess it helps to raise my hype levels, but surprises kill me. ):
