--- Quote from: TheTanStar on December 01, 2011, 05:01:50 am ---Started playing my 360 copy again for my Let's Play later and finished a Project Fairy run:
Highlights:
Overmaster as the last song (There should be an achievement/trophy for this!)
All six area festivals cleared
True S rank (ala PS3 Hyper Mode; My first one)
4 weeks left over after clearing the last area festival (Goofed off for one less than I could have had)
3 songs in top 10
Unit was in extreme exhaustion status when playing the final festival, kicked their butts anyway!

Bear in mind it's not quite - Actual hyper mode has much higher targets, and higher ranked events to compensate for the increased CD sales/Fan requirements.
To roughly emulate it, imagine if all the bars required were raised about 50% for festival fan numbers, 300% (!) for CD sales and scores required raised from 45k for top tier to about 60k for top tier scoring, but your gains were raised by about 50%.
Oh and no ability to automatic anything in Hyper. At all. Everything must be played through manually.
It's close enough though, but someone nitpicky would probably decry it. It's fun to play regardless.
TheTanStar:
I'm saying it's a true S rank as all the ratings are S ranks, like what is required for S rank on Hyper mode (But not the ranking requirements); the 360 version allows (I believe) at least two A ranks. I still need to play Normal mode (Which does not allow autos on Area Festivals, so it requires much more planning for reporters) on PS3 a couple more times (Only beat it once for now; barely missed the True Ending) before attempting Hyper mode.
That was my fifth run on 360 (Four True Endings and one Good Ending). Five more to go... Grind Grind Grind; Gotta love Japanese games for this.

I just finished my third play through. My group was named HelloJELLO(Miki, Chihaya, Yayoi). I finally won one award: Forest Green (woo!!) and made it to producer rank three. However my office didn't change and I am so confused because I thought it was supposed to change at rank three?

If you're playing the PS3 version, the ranking changes are different.
They're now Level 5, 8 and 10 (I think) so it's a bit more difficult.

When you've reached a rank where you get an office upgrade, it won't happen until Week 6 of your next new game. I think it's Week 6, somewhere around there anyway. Before the first RK idol-off anyway, so just keep your eyes peeled!

I did a quick money-run on Normal, also to finally unlock Beyond the Stars.
Unit: Life=GO!! (it is what it is)
Members: Hibiki (Leader), Haruka (2nd... cause I needed some more positivity or something), Yayoi (3rd... Janken again!)
Song #1: shiny smile
Song #2: GO MY WAY!!
Song #3: Kiramekirari
Song #4: Jibun REST@RT
Song #5: MEGARE!
Visual/Dance, level 15 at the end. Hyper ruined me. I did two Paid Promotions early on, then nothing else that would cost more money than I'd make for the rest of the game (besides normal Lessons). The second up to the last release went to #1 at some point, then sat at #2 through #4 and #6 at the end. The first did not want to budge after it stopped selling... but it's fine! Finished True Ending requirements with a number of weeks left to go. Spent them unlocking the other four stages I was missing, hooray for that! Managed to catch BK at 10% off, so money went poof. Heart's Ease Amethyst, I've really wanted it for a while... but not until I caught a sale. Jibun REST@RT for some reason spat out Lucky Stars like crazy, and I'm not quite sure why that was.
Two things left in both shops, still 4 more gals to finish... and get Haruka a yay ending at some point. No more using Princess Melody, as adorable as it is. I really like the attention to detail Beyond the Stars has for everyone's variation, besides just RK.
