Does the DLC only download when the Catalogue is installed?

I just bought all the main DLC (not the money, mail, and P-Drops) but they didn't download.  It took the money for them but when I click on the item listing the download button is replaced by Japanese characters.

I'm assuming I must need to have the catalogue installed first but I thought I'd ask (don't have the game yet)

Thank you

I think P Drops can only be purchase and used on a Japanese PSN account.
So basically I don't think we'll ever get to use them, unless of course you're playing the game on your Japanese account. I don't know what that means for the event next month.

I am using my Japanese PSN account. They don't show up for purchase which is extremely weird.

You need to have the actual game before it downloads. I believe you download it in-game now on the menu scene.

They are not in catalogue. Open 765shop from title menu, look at bottom left (below catalog itself), they are there. Or do you not have that p-drop button?

My game still didn't arrive, so quick question: Does someone know if when you record the game using the Share button the songs also get recorded, or do they get muted? I ask this because for example in ProjectDIVA Future Tone, the songs get muted and only the sound effects are recorded.

The audio doesn't get muted but the video quality isn't very good
The audio quality is totally fine though

Wow I'm surprised Scamco allowed that considering how tough they usually are. That's pretty cool.

Does difficulty affect anything other then score?

It makes more notes appear, but that's it as far as I know. That can help you EX Clear a lot of stages though, and get the rewards from doing so.
Of course, completing one difficulty unlocks the next, up to Pro until the end of the game, at which point you can unlock Master provided you choose Pro as the difficulty.

Here is a work-in-progress guide on skills and what they do.

AllStars videos for both new songs. 1080p@60fps, so be warned! High-performance PC (at least 4 cores I suppose?) is required for smooth playback!

Happy!

Thank you very much!  This will be helpful for people, like me, who are going to start the game.

Anyone have a stat priority of some sort? Also are the outfits/accessory's all random drops or are some exclusive rewards to things like EX clears etc.

What do you mean? Which stats do people prefer, or...?

Also are the outfits/accessory's all random drops or are some exclusive rewards to things like EX clears etc.

I'm fairly certain you can get at least some EX Clear rewards as random drops. The EX Clear rewards just guarantee getting a certain one.
