First, I would like to thank everyone who watched the stream and telling us what happened. That’s very kind of you all.
I’ve watched the PV several times, and I have my own pros/cons. This is just my own opinion/speculation. I understand the game is only 60% completed.
Remember, this is just my opinions (which are wrong sometimes).
Pros
-Better graphics
-Character models look pretty good
-Concerts generally look better (Ex. Lighting, more camera angles, etc.)
-Hair moves more naturally during dances
-Opening song sounds great
-Have camp scenes similar to office scenes in OFA where idols interact with each other in a 3D environment (the camp site)
-Have a level up system similar to OFA (like the EXP and Idol rank), but still distinguishes itself by having Appeal, Burst, Omoide stats with rankings on each stat (except Appeal) instead of the usual Vocal/Visual/Dance stat
-Stage outfits look pretty good (according to yukibro, they may do more than just boost stats)
-They have changed the Rhythm gameplay mechanic to resemble like a real rhythm game, but keeping certain im@s specific elements like memories and likely bursts intact.
Neutral
-I didn’t see Festivals or Auditions in the PV. Just Lives and Stage for You concerts. Maybe, I missed it or something.
Cons
-Image type based on CG (Not saying there’s something wrong with cute/cool/passion, but I would prefer vocal/visual/dance since it makes more sense. Vocal/visual/dance is seen as idol skills/talent while I see cute/cool/passion as just personality types.)
-One on one communication with idol still has 2D background
-Seems like their default casual outfit is their camp training wear (this may limit idol communication places since you wouldn’t go to a mall or a restaurant with your camp training wear. So, I’m a little worried that communications maybe less emphasized here when compared to concerts.)
Anyways, this game is #1 on my "games to get list". Can't wait.
EDIT: I see some you people have changed their avatars. Cool.
