If spending time with your favorite virtual singers isn't enough of a reward, there's also trophies to be earned.
I'm also being told that people having trouble earning the rock paper scissors trophy should try playing against KAITO instead of the others.
that's really sad. At least your game and acessory set is ok. Hope you having fun with the game and drooling over the acessory set. xP
Well, i was able to get the trophy with miku. A little hard but not too much. xP
Well, if you explore the diva room it can be fun. You can by stuff like a organ, a alarm clock and make your vocaloid interact with them.
Them in diva room you can get trophys by getting max level of friendship (level 6) or playing with the alarm clock, kitchen timer and other stuff.

Yeah, I'll know from now on that the more expensive shipping choices are usually faster and better.
You should be happy. She's partying in New York and having a good time!
But alas, I'm only a heaper, so I'll just have to stack the broken box onto my garbage heap. ;_;
And yeah, I'm having a great time with it so far!
The wait is gonna be dreadful, don't worry.
It is, but that's okay... I also screwed up applying the skin or whatever so that's messed up, too. ;_;
Eh, I ordered a skin a while ago, pretty much did the same. A lot it had to do with how hard it was to peel off the actual transfer, but the Vita isn't exactly easy to apply onto either.
Damn, now that's bad luck. T_T
Send me your address by pm and i can send you the skin i also got with the game.
I won't use it since i already have skins on my vita.
Didn't knew the skin was that hard to get it right.
the one i did at gelaskins were easy to apply it.
It shouldn't be, I guess I just had no luck with that one. Yeah, I've used Gelaskins a couple of times in the past, they're good.

Got a piece of lint stuck underneath the screen and pulled it up to get it out... all downhill from there, man.
I didn't think I would like a lot of the songs, but I'm really digging the selection.
You don't need to do that!

How am I supposed to interact with the other Vocaloids in Diva Room? I've only been able to hang around with Miku, I don't see any options for Rin or Luka or the others.
If you say so! xPYou don't need to do that!
If i'm not mistaken in the 11th pic of this site you select edit module and there you choose other vocaloid.
but not sure if it's like this.

I believe it is the bottom option from the room (ルーム移動 or something like that). After you pick it you will see all 5 names

Let me guess, I have to play all the songs above Easy difficulty?

In normal should be enough. If you starting the game, yes, first complete some songs to unlock stuff.
The funny thing is I was saving up money for a new laptop and I used some of that money to buy this game, and now my laptop died on me -_-". It's more than 5 years old, but still. At least the game shipped, so I will be having fun in ~10 days.

So did anyone on the east coast get their copy yet?
Especially if they orderd from Play Asia before it was released?
Im hoping itll be here this week.

I don't recall having any issues on hard. The PSP entries into the series followed the vocals more often than not. Didn't think to check if that was still the case.
Maybe I've just hit a wall, but I find myself just flailing at notes when I feel a disconnect to the actual song. I originally thought it was the note indicator, which I found to be distracting in the more involved songs, but I turned it off to no avail.
We'll see, I still have a decent number of songs to go, and maybe I will have stepped up by that point.

it's actually the same thing they did ( hard mode ) with extend ..
Hard mode in diva 2nd was more more simple and followed less things around ( only extreme had everything ).
that make some songs very weird if you're not accustomed to it.
Mine hit NYC on Sept 3 but still isn't here.
If Play-Asia sent you a Hong Kong post tracking number you can go here to see when it left HK, and there's a button to click to send you to the USPS (or other) site to enter the same number and see what happened when it hit the US.

Well, it's already the 13th in Japan, so we could see it any moment now really. The most likely release timeframe is around 11 PM to 1 AM EDT.

So what would be the next step for someone that really enjoyed Project Diva f but hasn't played any of the other ones? Which game should I get?
I have a PS3, Vita, and PSP, but would prefer to play on Vita over the PSP.

I believe both Project DIVA 2nd and extend are on JP PSN - but not sure about their compatibility with Vita.
On PS3, you can purchase the Dreamy Theater 2nd and extend - the latter releasing sometime in the next 22 hours. These are technically add-ons to the PSP versions that allow you to play them on PS3 using Arcade's graphics and on a 60fps rendering engine - they have no unlock system except for a link program that connects to your PSP to read your game save, so ownership of the PSP games is required. This link program only functions on PSP and can't be used on a Vita. (A Dreamy Theater for the first game also exists, but all of its content is included for free on Dreamy Theater 2nd, without even requiring ownership of the first PSP game.)
All three of the PSP Diva games are available for purchase on the Vita store. =D Gogogo!
As for which one to get...honestly, that's entirely up to personal preference. They're all worth checking out. It's perhaps worth noting that there's a fair bit of overlap between the songlists of Extend and 2nd, but nothing too terrible.

Is it bad that I found "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" to be dreadfully boring to both listen to and play?
I got my copy, but I didn't order from Play-Asia... (Pennsylvania/CDJapan)

That's one of those songs that I feel a feel disconnect with, that really slow crawl in the middle doesn't help much.

Dreamy Theater Extend is up on the Japanese store via search, it's 5639 MB. 1:20 hrs left to download, it's going fast.
Its up in the Whats new section and the PS3 game sections too now.
Thanks guys. Its hard to decide. I'd love to get Dreamy Theater extend with the rest of you and not have to worry about the annoying vita account switching, but it does suck to have to buy both it and the psp app for a combined 8,800 yen.
I wish the exchange rate was 1 usd = 120 yen like in 2008 the cost would be a reasonable $73 usd together, but right now its 1 usd = 78 yen making both cost $112 together (plus the premium you pay on things like buying psn cards on the internet). This is exactly why I hate our US monetary policies, but whatever.
I'll just have to fumble with the awkward vita account switching for now, and maybe later when my game budget refills I'll jump into dreamy theater to refresh the game. And if they are all just as good as everything else I might as well start from the beginning.

Yep. No account switching needed for any PSP, Vita, or PS3 games as long as you have the physical version (except Persona 4 Arena). I'm just complaining above cause I want to play the digital PSP games on my vita, which does require an account switch since its obviously the digital version.

Thanks for that, found my copy sitting in new york since the 3rd.
What the hell is taking so long in new york?

First impressions on Dreamy Theater extend: didn't have time to play an entire song but it's already hard to go back to Project DIVA f after seeing this. The framerate is what makes all this worthwhile.
I -think- Uraomote Lovers is similar to Arcade in that it uses a different rendering technique than normal so the modules look more cartoonish. Sort of wish there was an option to render the entire game this way. The effect isn't what I remembered Arcade's to look like, though. I could also be completely getting this wrong. Will try to capture and upload a video tomorrow after work.
As expected, only songs that were on extend are in; no DIVA 2nd or 1st tabs this time, or even a DLC tab. No idea why the game is 5639mb despite having less than half the playable content... hopefully the Live Viewing mode is worth it.
If you've got a friend that owns it you can do the one-time linking for Dreamy Theater 2nd/extend with their copy of the PSP game. I've actually ended up doing this for a couple people. (This doesn't work for the first Dreamy Theater since that one actually required the PSP to be connected to progress past the title screen.)
As for buying the PSP titles... it's really hard to recommend the first game at this point. It is certainly the most primitive in terms of controls, chart complexity, and scoring system (chance time literally worth 90% of the score in some songs), has the worst unlock system in the series (basically you have a random chance of unlocking something if you fulfill certain conditions, or have to do the same thing five times over before it'll count), and very little content is unique to it especially if you have access to Dreamy Theater 2nd. Both 2nd and extend are solid buys and should be much more familiar if you've already been playing f.

My friends are all more the Diablo and Battlefield types. Not even a chance of splitting on a copy of the game.
And I was planning on upgrading to dreamy theater eventually, just not right away, so it sounds like I should just get Project Diva 2nd next then. Only one last question for future reference, does project diva 2nd activate through dreamy theater extend, or would I need both dreamy theaters?
Thanks for being so helpful.

Someone give the easy explanation of this dreamy theater and whatever the reason for having diva 2 is?

It should be enough if the last time you saved was on that same PSP. The app launcher reads the save and transfers the unlocked content and Edit Data (if you have any).
Dreamy Theater is a "companion" to the PSP game, it reads your progress from the corresponding game so you're able to play whatever you have unlocked in HD on PS3, you can't do it the other way around, though.
Sweeeeet! Thanks

For those who want to see what Uraomote Lovers looks like in Dreamy Theater extend, I did a quick and dirty video capture: http://megami.starcreator.com/dtex-uraomote.mp4

Finally! Got my copy in the mail last night. I pop it in and load up the first song and...what are these stars, how do I-" Quickly failed that song. Silly me for not bothering to check Project DIVA for an explanation of the new features.

Downloaded this directly to my Vita, your capture looks lovely on it. What's your gear?
I watched that PV with the "Black PSP Miku" model and in their attempt to emulate the arcade version's shading she looks like it had some kind of "posterize" filter applied, it looked sort of bad so I quickly went back to the conflict model.

I'm using an AVerMedia AverTV PCIe 1x HDMI capture card. I didn't use it this time but if I need to play at the same time I have an Monoprice HDMI splitter on my desk so I can play without the lag the capture card introduces.
So I take it the effect that stylizes the modules in this song is just harder to see using the Conflict module?
