THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL
One For All: Gameplay thread
Naryoril:
Some info about the second story pack, what i gathered from playing Yukiho's storyline (i'll wait with doing the other storylines because of holidays and because i want to finish another game i'm currently playing first):
Completing the first job of the second pack unlocks the S2 rank up festival. Beating this festival unlocks new skills on the skillboard.
Completing the third job unlocks the new extend. This extend can only be used with the idol specific song (and thus only in solo stages) and it does not allow any accessories. Yukiho's extend has 2 yellow and 1 red star.
Wearing the extend enables the Ultimate Appeal. An ultimate appeal can be performed just like a duo burst. An ultimate burst has several effects on top of what a normal burst offers:
1) The extend changes, it becomes fancier
2) The whatever-it-is-called-ring around the symbol of the button you have to press for appeals gets increased by one full ring. The more you have filled the ring the more points you get for these appeals. So it works similar to Ritsuko's burst, but it is stronger. And more importantly: it stays after the burst is finished, so your score your ultimate appeal is drastically increased.
3) The voltage bar seems to fill faster. With 5 memory appeals i was able to burst 3 times with hardly any time left using あの日のナミダ (Ano Hi no Namida, Yukiho's song). By doing 4 bursts right of the bat and using the 5th memory for the ultimate appeal (so i had to wait for the burst prompt to finish first before being able to activate the ultimate appeal, and i had one memory less to fill the voltage gauge) i ended up with more time in the end for 3 bursts.
4) All following bursts are Ultimate Appeals, even if you don't use any more memory appeals. This means the ring in the middle is filled by yet another full round, and your score gets even higher.
Before the costume i was able to do about 64k with Yukiho, with the costume i reached a score of 108k, and i even made some mistakes, so i guess i could get about 112k.
Another thing i noticed: The maximum you can get in that score ring is filling it 3 times. It goes from empty to white to yellow to red. After 3 ultimate appeals all rings were completely red, the few filled segments Yukiho has by herself didn't show up in a new color.
Edit: Oh, and completing the 4th job increases the max level (most probably to 45)
Edit 2: There doesn't seem to be a new stage (the first pack had one)
Allithus:
Are you sure it increased the voltage rate? You could always burst 3 times.
Edit: I can confirm that it does increase the voltage rate. However you could get 3 burst without it. Need further testing to see if you could get more than 3 burst with the ultimate appeal.
Edit2: Okay It doesn't increase the voltage rate nearly enough for a 4th burst even with 5 memory appeals. You'll will be able to get over the 3rd burst and then 5 seconds or so.
Most of these difficult stages comes down to having at least 4 memory appeals. Also I noticed that the AI shy from using memory appeals when you are very far ahead in terms of voltage.
I find that I can reliably beat the ex Leon episode by getting ahead and then wait to counter. All my idols had 4 memory appeals and maxed burst counter.
As for the rank up festivals, you can actually just brute force them with Miki, Hibiki and Chihaya's super OP burst skill. be sure to stay way ahead in voltage as the AI will try to counter you. Jupiter is especially annoying as their burst skill wipes your entire voltage bar and any memory appeal you don't use is going to be stolen. Therefore I find it better if I just spammed memory appeals right from the start and burst a hell bunch before they can do anything. This would result in a win with about 10000 points lead with 12 memory appeals.
Naryoril:
I just got a score of 750'551 on an All Star Live, and not all idols are lvl 45 yet... I got all the idols to 4 memories and Yukiho, Azusa and Chihaya have 5, this really pays off for scoring. I wonder if i'll be able to beat 800k after the next EX episodes DLC.

Sorry, for continuing the recent (Ex episode 3 DLC) gameplay discussion here.
[See December/January posts in the other One for All topic for more gameplay information on Ex Episode 3 DLC]
I've got a question. Does Leon in EX episode 3 have a different burst skill depending on which idol you're using?
I don't remember, but I beat it with Chihaya (had 5 memories) without too much difficulty. I think Leon's burst skill just greatly decreased my vocal rate. (But, I could be wrong).
However, when I tried beating with Miki (had 5 memories as well), I was completely destroyed for 10 rounds straight. The reason was because Leon's burst skill was like Takane's in that she gets about 1/3 of her voltage gauge filled at the end of her burst. Not too mention Leon was aggressive and constantly using memories, so that I could never reach another burst after my initial Ultimate burst.
I updated my game out of frustration to see if maybe something was wrong. Then, I tried facing Leon again with Miki (after doing a week of other jobs in the game to reset things) and actually won using the method described on Page 69 in the other One for All topic. I actually tried using that method before updating, but it never worked since Leon was too aggressive for me to reach a 2nd burst.
So, just out of curiosity, did Leon have a different burst depending on which idol you used?
By the way...Thank you so much, Okayu, for the Chihaya summaries. (See summaries in other One for All topic for those who don't know)
Naryoril:
Not that i noticed. I didn't have much trouble beating her with Miki with 4 memories. I'm at the Leon fight with Iori, i'll check her burst skill when i get home. But imo the dangerous part about her burst skill isn't the lowering of your rate, but the massive increase of her own rate after the burst.
