The iDOLM@STER: SideM (mobage)

[SakuraMaxX]

Preregister here on a mobile device while signed into your Japanese mobage account (which is probably going to be different assuming you're playing on American Rage of Bahamut).

Is this like CG where it's completely locked unless you're verified?

[SakuraMaxX]

It wouldn't surprise me if it is like that.  Who knows though, SideM was made by a different developer from CG (BNGI in-house studio as opposed to Cygames) so it may run slightly differently.

Great, thanks.
Then my next question:
Yes, I'm playing on American RoB. So then, to make a Japanese Mobage account, do you just need to...change the region when you register, or is it more complicated then that?

[SakuraMaxX]

Just make your account at sp.mbga.jp

So it looks like pre-reg is closed, start-up soon? 

[SakuraMaxX]

It's open. Go knock yourselves out.

Edit: As of the time of writing, it seems that SideM is still in staggered roll-out and is putting unverified accounts at the end of the priority list.

I dunno if they're being more generous with rares in this game or if I'm using up my entire luck reserve for the year but I already pulled three Rares just from the basic point gacha

Unfortunately it doesn't look like trading is implemented yet

Jesus Christ I can't stop laughing at how much this guy's outfit looks like Takane's Luxury outfit

[Roswell]

Does anyone know if you can change them into + any time or is there a thing like CG where you get better stats carried over if you max out level and affection first

[SakuraMaxX]

I'm working on figuring that out but holy crap cards take forever to level in this.

looooooooooool

Loving the conversations on the main page if you have certain idol combinations in your unit. Favorite so far has been Hokuto telling Touma he wants curry for dinner and Touma responds with, "I'm not your mom!"

Edit: One Japanese wiki says it's better to max out both base cards before changing for optimal stats, but I'm not sure how reliable that is seeing as how most wikis have almost no information on the game.

Is there a SideM card archive?
A funny fact: there are Suzaku Akai and Genbu Kuroi in SideM. Suzaku and Genbu are gods from Japanese mythology! I wonder if there are Seiryuu and Byakko in SideM.

This is highly likely, seeing as it's the same with almost every other card mobage (only one I know of not being the case is Love Live SIF).
