The iDOLM@STER: One For All (PS3)

[Cien Laguoire]

It's still very early to say much, if the game just started development.

Still, being able to produce everyone now is great news. Now, I wonder how expensive this will be...

[animagic4u]

I'll basically pay anything under $100 if it means I get Azusa back.

This. Like, to the billionth power.

Although I doubt it's just started development. Maybe it'll be released in time for the concerts next year? That'll be about when the new season of Puchimas ends.

it's not much info for now, but i'm happy with that bit. I finished my 10th playthrough of im@s2 yesterday (yay, i was finally able to understand the Yukiho storyline, and i got to see her true ending since i didn't get it on my very first playthrough), so i'm looking forward to anything new.

I guess this is the game they announced at TGS as "and there is also a PS3 game in development besides im@s channel and the PS4 game, and we'll release info on it soon".

Now include yakusoku, eDEN, alright* and i'm totally happy.

I'm willing to bet that they've been working one this since the end of the DLC catalogs for iM@S 2. Maybe its release will coincide with the film, if they are that far into the development process. Does anyone think that in light of SHINY TV's release that this might be a re-imagining of sorts of iM@S 2 with the added ability to produce all idols from the start? I don't think this is what we're getting; especially since I don't think many people would be willing to purchase DLC for what is essentially a re-release of an older game. An entirely new title would create lots of new DLC opportunities.

Regardless, I'm glad PS3 is still being supported, since I have no intention of buying any next-gen console in the near future.

Well I was right about the non-standard unit size, but it seems like it's simply variable and can change depending on the situation. Up to 5, it looks like.

Well even if it is exclusive to imas channel, imas channel itself is a free download, it goes down to how much this cost. im hoping that it doesn't play like imas2. Will probably get it anyway just to produce Iori lol.

Yeah, I have iM@S Channel, but I don't want to buy anything digitally. JP PSN cards are always overpriced online and I don't need any extra points on my account. I think I still have some from about a year and a half ago.

What with the title being "One for All" and this quote:

"In The Idolmaster 2, you produced three-person units, but in One For All, there are various situations with differing locations and number of idols to communicate with."

I'm interpreting this to mean that you don't choose your unit, but you produce all of the idols at the same time in one route.

There are screenshots showing the character selection, so that is very likely incorrect.  It just means some of the other characters may show up in certain communications and such.

More interesting is the fact that the screenshot of the character select screen shows Haruka as currently being produced (that's the green プロデュース中 there).

I realized there's an idol select, but I do think you will be able to produce all of the idols in one run.

[animagic4u]

I hope the game is im@s 1 style producing...>w<

[redhairedking]

I am beyond excited for this game. I also believe I read on famitsu that there is going to be a video shown on November 2.
