The iDOLM@STER: One For All (PS3)

[JNiles]

They're releasing a CD with all the new songs on it real soon, right?  It'll be the first all-new content CD I've seen in a while.  Course, I'll be purchasing semi-blind due to music industry crackdowns. >.>

Yep on the Master Artist 3 series. The prologue is coming this Wednesday.

S rank up fes confirmed. Also I'm doing Chihaya first of course, but skimming at how the rival ability lowers vocal I'm assuming the rivals are personalized this time.

[Maka]

Who's the rival? Is it like riola or the Shinkansen Shoujo girls where it's a model-less shout out?

Also concerning Koi Kokoro, I feel really bad because I'm a huge Azusa fan, but it's disappointing... And I liked Lovely. :/

It was something in kana, didn't seem like any existing character. Also Chihaya called her brother by the name Yuu like in the anime.

Huh, that's mildly disappointing. I was hoping to see another (tiny) cameo, haha.

Leon was mentioned in Makoto's trailer line so who knows.
New morning commu. Chihaya asks how you would want to be woken up. I said kindly and then she got embarrassed running off calling herself an idiot. It was a bad.
For the audition in #3 you have to get 5/72. They must have done that on purpose.
Leon is the rival for the #4 fes.
The full version of Saihyou was beautiful.

I was not prepared for that crying.

Seems it's just Maou Angel again, with the same ability they had for the IE festival.

... Slightly beefed up, I might add. At least, they were less of a pushover than they were in IE, but I still beat them soundly.

Ano Hi no Namida (Yukiho's song). I REALLY like this one!

Takane's version of Vault, which I linked because... She uses a really interesting voice for this song. I haven't heard her use anything like it anywhere else.

Actually, it seems like most idols use a "shouty" voice for this song.

So the layout for each idol seems to consist of a live, a festival (with a rival geared against your idol's particular stat), an audition, and another festival against Leon using the idol's new song. You actually unlock the song after the audition, but you unlock a new stage and get that idol's max level extended to 40 once you beat Leon. She also does have some interaction with each idol this time, at least.

Level extensions from DLC? Argh... I wanted to skip at least one of the character sets... But i guess the S1 and S2 rank events from the last patch are geared towards the higher level idols, this explains how you are supposed to reach such crazily high scores.
