Neither did i, until i went to 10th... Not to mention that we never really got to see the penlights so far, because there were no really wide angle shots or shots from behind the idols.

Well, my only concern was if the story and relationship bonding with the idol would be the same extent as the previous games. Of course, the only way to find out is to play the game.
The whole reset, small changes/additions, etc doesn't bother me since it's something I got used to and feel helps give it some longevity.

Good, I'm not the only one who noticed this. From the front, they look great. But turn them at a certain angle and that's when issues arise, especially from the profile view, which I think looks pretty bad with the second eye just sticking out as if they're close together, when they're really not.

Haruka and Yayoi seem to be the worst offenders, Miki nearly unaffected. Chihaya is not too bad either, Takane had a weird shot in her recent trailer. We are just going to have to see.

Personally I really like what I see so far and am deeply anticipating the finished product. I liked Happy so much I immediately began learning it on the piano. I don't really mind the whole "same outfits" shtick, but there are quite a few outfits, past and present, that look great together when they're the same.

I plan on doing her PS one as well. As for everyone else I'll see how it goes after the game is out orz
Some of my favorite scenes from the older games came from day off communications as well as work promotions as it gave different situations and sides of the idols.

Not very exciting? There were two months of waiting in between each set of episodes, and they added the exclusive costumes in the 2nd batch too. Plus brand new solo songs. The only way I'd be more excited is if they brought back side dramas like in SP and L4U (the more goofy/one off ones). As I said earlier it did add new information to Chihaya's history as well as an interesting take on her transition as an idol.
--- Quote from: Reikuo on June 17, 2016, 09:22:20 pm --- I just really dont think a new setting, goal, or story is really ever going to make Miki or Iori, or any of them, not who they have already been established as. Granted its disappointing to see some interesting aspects of the characters lost over time and replaced by things not as good, or just bland in comparison, but that seems to always be the fate of long running stuff like this.

That's not true at all. Character development is often about seeing a character go from one state to another, even if it's not as extreme as say Awakened Miki was. Even something as simple as moving them to another country could add a whole lot of new situations and problems.
