Project Mirai Deluxe for 3DS

The second game features additional songs, mini-games and even the item events similar the ones in Project Diva series' Diva Room. There's also the editor although it doesn't seem to be as big as the one in Project Diva series where you can use the MP3 files along with custom scene, dance movements and custom notecharts for a custom song. That is the biggest feature that increases the replay value. In addition, there are multiple vocals for the same song but that depends if the song supports that. Last major change is the gameplay. It's sort of like the 2D variant of Groove Coaster the way it approaches the notes and depending on the control method, you have to press the corresponding physical buttons or tap on the corresponding on-screen ones. For the touchscreen gameplay, there's also the flick feature in addition to having to tap on the pink or blue one.
For the Deluxe version which has additional changes from the second game, the music videos are changed and there is one more song exclusive to it as well as the change of the charts for certain songs. This is the first Project Mirai game to be released outside Japan and people should be glad when buying this on their own 3DS besides buying the Project Diva series on their Playstation 3 or Vita. Some of the songs from Project Mirai series are already available in Project Diva Arcade and Maimai in which there are major graphical differences between Project Mirai series and Project Diva Arcade.

Project Diva series updates

Oh man, freaking DLCs for Project Diva F featuring additional accessories and additional characters? Looks like those additional characters are back after their additional debuts in Project Diva 2nd and Extend but to have them available in Project Diva extend, you’re going to need Project Diva 2nd in order to import some stuffs from Project Diva 2nd. It is really disappointing that the only way to extend the second series will be the modules, not the songs themselves and even the Dreamy Theater Extend is guilty of this disappointment. Other announcements include the songs and modules taken from Project Mirai that will be used in Project Diva Arcade. Wow, it’s like the characters have gone back to normal form. If only there’s Edit Mode for Project Mirai, it could have gained even more replayability just like the on-going Project Diva series but it’s too bad that it might have become a real disappointing spin-off. What’s good though is the character concept, the AR Mode, new gameplay, My Room Mode and even the songs but those are not enough to keep increasing the momentum of the game and the sales are sort of affected as well. The last announcement involves the Playstation 3 version of Project Diva F that will be released next year as well as the collaboration with other game by Sony on the Playstation 3 and Vita in which those accessories will be added to Project Diva F as DLCs. Previously, there was a similar collaboration but that was for the Playstation 3 of that Sony game. Another one involves the Vocaloid Live On Stage on Playstation Home which was used to promote the release of original Project Diva on PSP. It’s a shame that the momentum is kind of insufficient enough even for Project Diva F due to the fact that the Playstation Vita is already struggling due to lack of needed games.

These were all shown at Tokyo Game Show late last month by Sega.

Project Diva F Latest PV

What, what were the developers doing? Are they out of other resources? There's new graphical engine as well as new songs and modules... BUT THE SONG LIST IS AS SHORTER THAN EVER! HOW IS THIS A RESPECT TO NUMBER 39 LIKE THAT? Look at the song list, according to the PV video, the song list is like up to 31 new songs. The one that adds the song list to 32 songs is not new because it is already from Project Mirai on 3DS. The best bet is that the song list must be above 39 songs or it is going to be quite disappointing although the Edit Mode is able to save the asses of the custom music video makers.
Of course, there's going to be Phantasy Star Online 2 collaboration in this game like you may want some Vocaloid stuff on the non-Japanese version of PSO2 but the thing is, there are players of Phantasy Star franchise who are against that technology like they want Sega to kick those characters off this online game. Lastly, since Project Diva F is going to be on Playstation Vita, it may seem that those who are Anti-Vita may comment on why this game is not in Playstation Portable. The reason for being in PS Vita regards the new graphical engine which is quite new compared to the current Project Diva games we already know of. Perhaps you can save your ass with this new upcoming Dreamy Theater F for Playstation 3 next year like you may want to play that version instead after buying Project Diva F and Playstation Vita. If rhythm games are your reasons in buying Playstation Vita, so be it because the serious disadvantage right now is the console's expensive price due to lack of sufficient game library. What's useful however is the AR Live Mode similar to Project Mirai as well as some kind of real-life activity which may spoil you apart like you're playing Love Plus games or something.
Buy this game and DJ Max Technika as well as Playstation Vita if you like/want but you have to watch out for retarded douche-bags, fan-fags or whatever in any location you're in and don't get caught playing the PS Vita by them. But what the hell should we do in that case? Should we keep the console a secret?

Miku Flick 02 Update

Wow, the first one must be really expensive and in fact, the graphics are taken from Dreamy Theater series due to having even higher resolution than the Project Diva games on PSP. Graphical downside though, it is using FMV sequences or whatever and they are really choppy. The second one still has the same flaws though but it introduces the new gameplay mechanics in addition to newer game modes. How can those not be in the original first one instead? I guess this is somewhat a little bit disappointing to me upon having the realization of the sequel. First of all, the framerate is freaking choppy and it is still choppy in the second but I don't know if that is true or not. Second, the song list is still as short as ever like the whole game will be quite short, even shorter than Project Mirai which is also lesser in success due to not having the edit mode compared to Project Diva series which HAS Edit Mode. Third, the original doesn't even have additional modes the Project Diva series has and the song list is all you can get. But don't worry, the first one is already great enough but in the sequel, Miku Flick 02, I don't know if this is going to be disappointing or not.
In the sequel, it has songs involving other Vocaloid characters performing which may be bravo and there's also the Extreme Mode which is back but why play in Extreme Mode when you can have Break The Limit mode? There will be Downloadable Content and I hope that there will be packs of songs just like the other rhythm games on IOS. Finally, there's the Replay Mode where you can view the other player's run on certain songs in certain difficulties.

Project Diva F for PSV and PS3 Update

Two more songs coming in and they are Secret Police and Melancholic. Well, Secret Police, whose concert is taking place in prison? Who can mind in teaching the prisoners the various dances to Vocaloid songs, lol? That wasn’t the first time they were taught the respective dances that were the famous internet memes. But having this idea to happen in real life can cause certain prisoners to complain like that not because Vocaloid is something unusual in terms of virtual singing compared to real music artists. Sure it’s technical if you ask but I don’t know if there will be a concert like that displayed on the projector inside the prison, lol? Next song is the song that was already in Project Mirai but the dance and costume things for that song can be seen in AR mode compared to the gameplay and PV modes whose song is obviously using the music video using the original music video.

Other updates include the Technical Zone Bonus which is something like Challenge Bonus or whatever as well as the actual title of the game. Perhaps F stands for Final, Finale or something.

The release date for Project Diva F will be in August 30th for Playstation Vita and next year for Playstation 3. Who knows how the next title for PS3 version will be called?

Miku Flick on Iphone (Part Two)

The translation took a month or less to finish and there comes the English version of Miku Flick on the Iphone that was released in April 9th. We had already known the gameplay and the song list as well as the retina graphics that are taken from Project Diva Dreamy Theater series. Unfortunately, the English port is kind of a bit worse as you should stick back to the original Romaji mode which is the default one as in the original version. Your best bet to get around the problem will be to follow the arrows and the marker appearance behavior. Sure, the way the markers appear is like playing Jubeat as I already mentioned but here in the English version, the translated things can be distracting like that as if the translated text during gameplay isn’t large enough. And worse of all for Ipad users, there’s not even the HD version of the game which can be kind of sharper in my opinion. I guess that turning off the Panel Guide is something like Jubeat Stealth Mode but since I don’t have the game, I don’t know what this does when you turn it off.

So the Jubeat-like gameplay isn’t perfect as there are like overlaying markers which can be confusing on which arrows to flick on. The song list is damn short, shorter than Project Mirai itself and there’s a lack of song packs probably and the frames per second are kind of choppy. It may be a great game for the original version but the English version is not as great as the original version in my opinion. To get around the problem, stick back to the original under Keyboard Settings once you have Japanese knowledge.

Try it if you want but Project Diva Arcade has the highest amount of songs and Project Diva Arcade and Dreamy Theater have the better graphical experiences. There are other rhythm games for Iphone that have like hundreds of songs.

Sega’s Maimai

Looks like Sega is extra busy like that ever since last year. In addition to Project Diva series for the PSP and the upcoming Project Mirai for Nintendo 3DS, there comes another rhythm game with Vocaloid songs and this time it’s from Sega. Previously around this year, there was another new rhythm game with those songs as well by Konami named Sound Voltex Booth but I doubt that this isn’t the first time. It was like Namco and Taito were next to put in Vocaloid songs to their rhythm games, then now, it’s Konami’s turn. As Sega or perhaps Crypton Future Media is like surprised or something, it seems that Sega has decided to come out with a new rhythm game with those songs. One of them is Happy Synthesizer, which will also be in Project Mirai as well. There’s another one besides Happy Synthesizer but you can bet that it was recently in Project Diva Arcade last December. That was taken from Project Diva Extend if you can know the meaning of this.

From what we saw, the gameplay is something comparable to Samba De Amigo but the controller is obviously the touch screen circular monitor and the circular edge thing. You are supposed to press those buttons to the beat on the circular edges. Man, perhaps this is the quicker way of entering the passcode to open the door rather than turning the wheel to the corresponding numbers. There’s also the sliding feature on the screen and you have to slide your finger in the corresponding direction. Perhaps the cabinet is probably taller than the washing machine but then, who even has the opinion on the gameplay and cabinet concepts.

New Project Diva and Upcoming Project Mirai

Not much to say about this announcement here as we had already discovered the news about them. From one time during Christmas Day last year, Sega posted their video of the new Project Diva along with the new song that is going to be put into it. Will this be on PSP or Playstation Vita? Supposedly enough, I played some Christmas song in Project Diva Extend anyway on that day. On the day before the actual Christmas Day, it seemed that I played the same song at the arcade. Nowadays, the machines of Project Diva Arcade are getting more hardware problems than ever, so are the other machines of the other games at the arcade.

Due to some insults to the fans of Vocaloid from some contents from some countries perhaps due to lack of research and knowledge, I can guarantee that Project Diva and Mirai games are to be playable around Asia, not anywhere else. Not to mention that Nintendo 3DS console is region locked but I can guess that Project Mirai can be playable in both Japanese 3DS and Asian 3DS consoles but then having to buy games like this outside Japan is not easy.

Some friend of mine said things like, “Wow, is that character on the screen your g********* or something?” OH REALLY, FRIENDLY FAGS? Do you ask the other fans the same sort of questions, huh? I’m sure that you’ll be told off like hell for that as I’m not the only fan of Vocaloid so far as to expect. So geez, don’t try to ask me these retarded questions again!
