Strategy SP - Question & Answer thread

[animagic4u]

Takes a while to get the proper rhythm of it, but after a while you can get it.
It's one of my better lessons.

Have another question, not sure if its just my imagination but do your idol's stats get boosted when u fail the final IU and then choose the restart audition choice? Thanks for the help!

I have questions:

1. I want to access Office Mode, but the game shows me this instead:


2. How to win Rival Audition?

3. After a successful audition, there is my perfomance, but with accidents and burst appeals! How to avoid at least accidents?

4. What the stylists want of me?

5. http://www.project-imas.com/wiki/Idolm@ster_SP_clothes
There are some accessories that are marked with --. How can I get them?

6. It's just me or some auditions are named after Chiaking and Mingosu's CDs?

Thank you very much!

1. Your wireless LAN switch is off.
2. You can't ever really win, the best you can do is get second. Even if you do better than your rival, the game will adjust her score to be number 1.
3. Think they're kinda random, though leveling up does make them occur less often... if I remember correctly.
4. In their e-mail, there are words (their studio and name) highlighted with 「 ... 」. They'll ask for one of those.
5. Slow wiki is slow. Could be DLC, could be a clear game unlock.
6. Meh, could be for all I know.

Thank you very much!

1. What are you playing on? An emulator? That message means the wireless lan switch is off. It has to be switched to "on" on the PSP in order to access office mode.

2. You are just gonna have to do good in your lessons and communications. Don't worry about your rival, she will always get first place no matter how hard you try. Just focus on beating the other competitors.

3. I never knew how to manipulate this, but in general, as your idol's rank increases you get less and less chances of an accident.

4. When you are mailed by a stylist, they want to interview your idol. What you have to do on your end is look carefully at these bracket things such as this 「れい」. Take note when you are are going to meet the stylist AND REMEMBER THE NAME AND THE COMPANY OF THE STYLIST. You will be given 3 choices in where you have to remember what the name of the stylist is or what company they are from when you and your idol are interviewed. If you do remember, you get free clothes or accessories for your idol. If not, well, you'll see.

5. I think you get those items randomly after either auditions or stylists from what I remember while playing.

6. Probably not just you, though I never really payed attention.

And damnit Cael, you beat me to it.

I think the CDs are named after the auditions.

Cael K., Saturos, thank you very much!
I've got an idea about accidents. Maybe they happen because of wrong camera work? You can change camera position as you like, but what if accidents depend on it?

I think the CDs are named after the auditions.

Only Uta doujou and Long time were released after SP. All other Radio CDs were before.

1. What are you playing on? An emulator? That message means the wireless lan switch is off. It has to be switched to "on" on the PSP in order to access office mode.

Yes, I'm playing on the emulator. Does it mean I can't access Office Mode?

You better be good at guessing when accidents occur then lol.

If you can't find the option in your emulator to allow wireless lan, then yes, you can't access it.

Is it possible to avoid farewell concert in SPs? Or you will get this ending no matter what your rank is?

[animagic4u]

No. If you're playing the story mode, I don't think that's part of the story, but if you're playing free produce I'm pretty sure it's mandatory.

In story mode there is only one ending. However in free play mode there are quite a few endings depending on how well and where your farewell concert is and the best endings are definitely worth the trouble. The dome is the highest of course and which places you can choose for your farewell concert depend on how high ranking your are and how did you do for the rest of your produce. Even if it's the farewell concert it doesn't exactly mean it's a farewell from your idol if you catch my drift. There's also a special bonus if you manage to produce all of the idols well. As for why you have to have a farewell concert in free play I think it's because of how the arcade game originally worked and you were always against other producers so while you may have continued to strive many lost to you along the way and eventually you may have lost to another producer as well.

How to become a Rank S idol?

[Saturos]

1 mil fans with your idol (I think. It's been a while). It's hidden.

[frozenstate]

I think you need to succeed the 9 special auditions, and gain like 150 something in your fan stats.

[liza94]

Why can't I reach rank A? I gained required number of fans, but I still B.
