Strategy SP - Question & Answer thread

[TweenDoriru]

Wow, I was the last person to post. Sorry for double-posting.

I went through my first playthrough with Haruka in free-produce. I was aiming to make her rank S, but I had...2 or 3 Special Auditions left to do. However, when I went to actually -do- them, they were grayed out so I couldn't.

Is it because after a certain week, you can't do them anymore? They were all available to do before, but after I hit rank A (had to rush some auditions toward the end of the year ^^;) they became unavailable.

It's very weird, because I've raised S-rank idols before, but I've never had that problem.

They all have requirements, if I knew what week you were on or stats I could be of more help D: 
Maybe it was one of these?

Rookies requires you have less than 14 weeks in order to compete.
Colorful Memories requires you have more than 15 memories in order to compete.
TopxTop!  requires you have no losses in order to compete.
Hit-TV requires an image level higher than 10, and audition wins higher than 70%
All those vocal, dance, visual ones require image level 8 or higher.
Long Time doesn't show up till week 25.

It was toward the end of the game (I'd say week 48 or so onward). I don't know Visual, Dance, and Vocal stats specifically, but Haruka's image level was 16. XD

I don't have difficulty with auditions, and I know Haruka's track record was perfect and if I lost any, I probably restarted the game ^^;.

The memories thing could've very well been it, though I tend to do the rank-up commus and not use memories during auditions (because I fail at that memory roulette XD).

Man, I should've kept that save file intact instead of finishing off the game.

Diva Paradise has some other restrictions on it too, which vary. Sometimes they'll want gutsy or gentle people (so Ami/Mami might not be able to enter those), sometimes they'll want... like only High Schoolers I think was one of them.

Don't worry about the double post, I'd say, the last post was so long ago, editing it wouldn't garner any attention I don't think.

So, that's really a situational thing, which would require reading the info for it OTZ

Do those sort of auditions change dependent on the week? I wonder if it could've been that in those last few weeks, Haruka fell out of those categories?

Please don't do it if it's too much work ^^; but if you could give me some info on the Special Auditions (vague is okay), that'd be awesome :3

This is info from the 360 version, but I think it holds true for SP, if my memory's correct. Thankfully, I've got a source on hand. Oh, the stickers in the back, I can't bear to take them off.

Diva Paradise is random, as far as I know, so you'll have to look for it. Image Level 7 or higher, and one of the following categories.

度胸のある人 (Gutsy and Bold) - Makoto, Iori, Ritsuko
おとなしい人 (Calm and Gentle) - Azusa, Chihaya, Yukiho
元気はつらつ (Energetic and Happy) - Haruka, Yayoi, Ami/Mami, Miki
中学生以下 (Middle schoolers and down) - Ami/Mami, Yayoi, Miki, Iori
高校生以上 (High schoolers and up) - Azusa, Ritsuko, Chihaya, Haruka, Makoto, Yukiho

Digi got the rest of them down.

I guess I should've started taking out my Precious Album when I played XDD I can't bear to take the stickers out, either.

Thanks a ton for the info, guys! May I be well-prepared in my next produce.

Well I Have Idolm@ster Wandering Star and I had completed the game with Yukiho but in the end of the game all these options came up and i cant read Japanese so I didnt know what they were asking. The point is I must have selected the wrong answers because it didnt keep any of my experienced with Yukiho (like lvl and stats) but I did unlock Takane. Do any of you know what i should answer this time with Iori?

On your first produce, when the box pops up press yes/"はい". It's for saving your idol data to use in Office Mode (someone can offer a literal translation, I'm sure, but I know that's the result).
You may have gotten more boxes because it said something like "are you SUUUURE you don't want to save your Yukiho? :0"

When you're producing the same idol a second time, though, be careful; you can overwrite your old idol data if you're not careful (I think picking no/いいえ when the option comes up will avoid that, though).

Thank you

"Memorial Data" is the technical term, btw.

Can anyone expalin the stylists. I understand that I have to be aware of what they right in the mail. After I won an audition, a stylist came by to the office and decresed my stats and lowered my image level. If they give me clothes and accessories, do I have to style my idol exactly how they did her?

That means that you skipped out on an appointment with your stylist. You have to be aware of what they say, but you also need to be aware of when your appointment is (it can either be that week, the next week, or 2 weeks later, in the morning or evening/night).

Pretty much, anything you see 「in brackets like this」is important.

edit: At least, I think that's what it is, if you're seeing the stylist and she's decreasing your stats.

I have three questions:

1. I just got done with my first play and unlocked Hibiki in Office mode. What I want to know is are all the games connceted meaning if whatever I have in one game, I will have in the other?

2. Can I upload pictures and videos from the game to the computer?

3. In Wandering Star, is there anyway I can play as Mami?

[animagic4u]

1. I'm pretty sure they stay unlocked in all 3 versions.
2. I posted about this somewhere on the forum before under this section. There's some answers there.

No clue on 3.
