This game and that Halloween episode made me watch the anime.
Indeed. I've been itching for a good portable rhythm game for quite a while. Since I no longer have access to an Ouendan game on my 3DS and I don't own a Vita to carry the Project Diva games with me, I needed a mobile game. The options I had were Osu, which is a nice emulation of Ouendan, but it is somewhat... Chaotic, I guess? (since you have to search the songs and the charts aren't always good); Cytus, which was good, but somehow it didn't fully grabbed me, even though I bought the paid version to be able to retry at will and this game.
Guess I wanted the Jp vocals in my game, too...
Read the first few pages to reminisce. Fun seeing the people who still post and others we lost such as Chariot.
Lol just saw this post from me
RIP me. I spent like 80 bucks on this game I think and I don't regret it haha. Been playing it for months now.
Lol just saw this post from me
No flip on android and it doesn't even use immersive mode
Waiting for LP sucks, but I'm not gonna be spending my free google play monies I got from taking surveys. I'm gonna be strong and continue my streak of never paying for a F2P game.

I still did not spend a single cent on the game. I probably would have spent some if google play cards where available in this country but yeah google....
In other news just got 50 stones in the JPN version and guess what
FREEEDDOOMM!!!
my first 10+1 UR and got a nice extra SR too
With this and getting the rarest card in chain cronicle when starting the game on the first try i am on a lucky streak at the moment. I will try to post my atelier card soon when my phone is charged again.I still did not spend a single cent on the game.

Grats! This makes me believe that the time that I finally got a UR will come sooner or later
I started playing this game at the end of January. So it takes time to get to your goal
All you gotta do is preach brotta.I started playing this game at the end of January. So it takes time to get to your goal
Praise RNGesus and may your idol smile upon you.

I'm still going to stop drawing till support tickets get added.
My draw count is 4 10+1 in Eng that gave only 5 SRs and over 12 scouting tickets giving nothing but Rs, and 6 10+1 in JP that gave 8 SRs.
My support ticket draw in JP gave me a UR though, so I'm going to wait for that in Eng. Will horde loveca till then. (Free player who doesn't spend loveca on events.)
I thought the idols did not love me anymore ;_; and moved to cute little alchemists because they seem to love me. Guess the idols needed me
next goal is to get me some more Kotori and Maki SR or UR cards. speaking about atelier here are the cards.
and while i am on topic on atelier hope you are reading CureVylash. I was hoping to play a ps3 Atelier game what is the best game to start? Just got Totori/Meruru and Ayesha. But saw a nice deal on rorona+ can grab it for 15 should i grab that and start the series with that. Or can i skip that? as you can see the price is no problem. I did get into the series via atelier annie on the ds so i do got some experience. But still a beginner.
Before this draw i was doing worse then you. I did like 9 draws combined of the ENG and JPN versioin and out of those 9 draws i got 8 SR. First time i played i did not know i could get a guaranteed SR. So together with phoenix we where kinda made fun off because we had bad draws. But i am feeling pretty lucky
Season 1 or 2?
That's interesting I can't read Hime2's message, and ONLY Hime2's message. That sure is odd, I guess I'll keep all these Maki-cas for her event. >

Holy shit a Nontan UR! Blessed.
Holy shit a Nontan UR! Blessed.
My pure team is the weakest so i am happy with the boost this gives me
It's my time to shine
On PS3 there's the Arland Series and the Dusk series, playing Arland chronologically is a bit confusing since you'd have to go back to Rorona Plus after beating Meruru, so I'd suggest starting with Totori, then Meruru, and finally finishing with Rorona Plus
Dusk is in a completely separate world from Arland to the two aren't connected at all, Ayesha is absolutely terrible while Escha is actually pretty good.
tl;dr: Play Totori, then Meruru, then Rorona Plus, get a refund for Ayesha and buy Escha
You already shined in this thread you where the first poster if i remember correctly
I believe it was you who was the phoneless guy
Thanks for the advice. I think i will start with Totori then. It is now the most outdated one mechanics wise. But i am not expecting much change only refinement in the alchemy system. I knew there where 2 series. Since i love mel kishida art i took notice of the atelier series. But did not had a ps3 at that time so i bought atelier annie and fell in love with the dialog, light story and the alchemy. I think i will keep ayesha since its not worth much and i want to buy escha but it still is wayy to expensive to buy. guess a low print run since it was very rare to get from the start. Only saw it once in a game store and it was and still is 60 only is a bit cheaper but i will wait for a price drop and get rorona+ in the meantime thanks!
You should get a Vita and play the Plus versions.You should start with Rorona+ but stop playing after the original ending (First 3 years). Then play Totori and Meruru. Then go back to Rorona+ and play the extra 2 years.
This is if you care for plot. Going back to the Totori system after Rorona+ might be harsh though.
I would still recommend this order if playing on PS3.
Ayasha on PS3 has no JP voices though, but presumably Ayasha+ will have.
Unless of course you are intending to play the JP version.
The letters in the vita versions are so small that is why i preferred to play it on the big screen. I do am a fan of playing things in the chronological order so maybe ill do it your way i am still in doubt though since it will take a while before rorona+ arrives and now i have some time to play
. I think i am one of the few but i think i can manage an English dub i prefer Japanese but both are non native languages to me anyway. So i won't notice wrong pronunciation and stuff. Only dubs i dislike are the atlus ones voices i guess i dislike their voices for some reason. Also don't find the voices fitting the game. Also thanks for the advice. Gives me a more wider view on what the series on ps3 is about.Yeah ep 9 and 10 where great. I did not really liked ep 11 since i found the drama a non problem But i like the songs in the last 2 episodes so it gets back on track. But i guess i am soulless according to this thread
Yeah the beach URs look awesome thanks safs. I see my card has a recovery effect. I already had a full on recovery team. Maybe she can help with the recovery and help me complete those extra hard EX songs
in b4 to git gud comments
edit: nah staydead our bro chickdigger keeps getting banned
. Also less then a month until the im@s movie i am so hyped for that!Aytrial is still on my friends list (Thanks for the cool UR!), but I may actually drop him for other more active people now. I wish I had like.... 6 more friend slots.
I still did not spend a single cent on the game. I probably would have spent some if google play cards where available in this country but yeah google....

Congrats! That's a really nice card too. I'm pretty happy with my draws this week too. Umi (Yukata ver) on bullshit account and Rin (Ramen ver) on my iPad. Still waiting on my Maki anywhere though...
edit: balls, two posts in a row again, sorry about that!

You do know that the Plus versions add all DLC and extra content, right? Not sure why you would give that up. Plus the ability to play in bed. The only one I would play on the PS3 would be Rorona+, as that has content parity with Vita.
Also I heard that Meruru+ as a better framerate than Meruru. I'm not completely certain about that though. Also, all the English dubs are partial dubs. And I heard 1 line from both totori+ and rorona+ before shuddering in disgust and switching over. I wanted to get the Japanese versions for Vita as physical>digital, but my Kanji reading skill is still utter rubbish. Have to stick with the English versions with their spelling errors (meat-> meet, dusk->dust etc.)
No problems sometimes it happens
Only ones who dont like it are the mods i guess. Obnoxious bumps can be irritating but this is ok if it happens on accident. But i know that feel bro. Only SR or higher maki i got is the one in the SR event. I rarely get makis on draw too. It was my first card so she is special to me But it happens a lot in the english version i am drowning in nozomis and in the jpn in honokas and rins. Guess they like giving me those although my favorites are Kotori/Maki/EliAlso for people who don;t know what the beach nozomi looks like in full here it is

I might sound crazy but i dont really care for extra dlc costumes or framerates if i already own the original games. An extra dungeon would be nice but i can live without that. I am more of a handheld guy. But i already own most of it on ps3 why go out of my way and buy it again on vita? I am somebody who almost never buys a remake or remaster. I got starfox 64 but that is because that is one of my favorite game ever and great on a commute to pick up and play. Also got Wind waker HD but that was because it is a free game. Also if i dont like the voice acting i could always mute the voices if that is an option at least? But i will probably play meruru and totori in japanese
Nah Chariot just hates us
also RIP chickdigger who is Perm's I think.Does Jintor still play? Did he ever get internet? Lol
That second Nico cracks me up
If you're not in a hurry to play the games, there is always the Vita TV, that's coming out in November I think.The letters in the vita versions are so small that is why i preferred to play it on the big screen. I do am a fan of playing things in the chronological order so maybe ill do it your way i am still in doubt though since it will take a while before rorona+ arrives and now i have some time to play

If you already own the games, that that's fine. If however you don't already have the games, you should get the Vita ones.
Also regarding Vita TV: hopefully it gets better support than here in Asia (and that the support trickles to Asia). We have so many games where the Japanese version is compatible, but the English version isn't.
Edit: Also to say something about love live: I have a friend who has played the JP version for a year, and is at level 180+. He has no true URs, even with 2 support ticket draws.
Please don't, there are new members now that have been lurking in this thread forever (thanks to the super long approval process)
Here, have some music

Maybe something happened:
Scenario one: dropped phone in toilet, out buying rice...
Scenario two: he was walking home when a strange man in a van asked him if he wanted some idorus he was giving away that they were inside the van
Scenario three: he met a woman
Scenario four: Aliens abducted him
Scenario five: sleeping

I imagine that global support for the Vita TV will improve once it is released in the US and Europe.
New EX in JP! It's the super boring hanayo song. I keep messing up at end. Can't get the FC
I'll be honest, I kinda like that song. Dunno why.
edit: fuck random 1 off notes at the very end of songs way after the music ended!
Yeah i own 3 games i am only missing Rorona+ and Escha might as wel complete the arland series on ps3. Omg your friend knows the true despair. Its time for me to post that comic again.
rip friend may the RNGods praise him.
Not to be an ass or something but i don't expect they increase the vita tv support. For the new games yes but for the old game the situation will probably be the same. Since most of the developer will be japanese and indie i believe the indie support will be alright but the bigger third parties will not do much about it.
I never been to America!!
It really takes a practice. First i had trouble with the harder normals then with hard and now i can almost fc the easy expert songs. The extra hard EX songs are still a bridge to far but practice makes perfect. I play hard during events and can do most at FC now.
Exactly! I can barely live through the EX songs up now in EN version.
All this extra Loveca this week is gonna be great for the upcoming event. Should be sitting at a nice 31-32 Loveca by the time the event starts.
This picture will never get old.
It's patience, practice and playing a lot, if possible also playing different rhythm games. As I mentioned in the thread before, I played lots of Project Diva and Ouendan before landing here, and boy did the experience helped. For those who might not know about those games, here are two of the hardest songs in those games (The first Ouendan and Project Diva f, respectively)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35fpd_goonfingers-level-15-final_videogames
(Skip to 1:15 if you want to listen to the whole song or 1:50 if you only want to see the tapping. I picked that video because it has decent audio and you can see the person playing, even if the jokes are somewhat odd)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bljj-yFBX6s
While I haven't gotten a perfect in those songs, at the very least I can defend myself when playing them. You get used to see lighting-fast notes very fast when playing games like these and your body reacts before your mind actually processes what the hell you're doing
Also, about practice, I went from this:
To this:
After playing a few times, so you guys just need to keep playing
Yeah the song is great. But it becomes more fun with the opening added to it
. Or they could mix it like that other cheap idol anime priparaMan just saw this in a other thread more mobile anime rhythm games. Dunno what to expect looks kinda cheap
One piece dance battle
Aghaghaghagh horrible flashbacks of Ready, Steady, Go on Cheer Girls.
Man just saw this in a other thread more mobile anime rhythm games. Dunno what to expect looks kinda cheap

That comic is wonderful! About the Vita TV though, what good 3rd party games are there that wouldn't get support? The majority of the good stuff in the Vita's library is either Indie or Japanese I think support will be fine. Most of the other stuff on the Vita is either straight garbage or an FPS that I wouldn't want to play on the Vita anyway.
edit: If I remember correctly most Japanese developers quickly pushed out updates to add Vita TV support to their older games when it first launched in Japan
I definitely agree to this. I also played a lot of osu! and Project Diva before playing SIF. Personally, playing LL (and other) songs on osu! helped me a lot in predicting when triple/alternating notes are going to come on some of the faster EX beatmaps in SIF. The sense of rhythm just comes to you eventually as you play. Oh and the device you play on surely affects your play. Just did this because of some little lag on my phone:
Dunno if I'll get a better chance to FC this
Rank 1 - Rank 200 = 2SR as reward
Rank 201 - Rank 1000 = 1SR as reward
Love Gems, I think 20 would put most people in the top 1000, assuming you play efficiently.
