THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER 2
iDOLM@STER 2!!
Cael K.:
In a nutshell...
Thanks for the comments, we got a lot. Ryuuguu are rivals now, but they'll continue to walk together with the rest of 765Pro as the series continues. Sorry about Jupiter, but they're staying, and we had lots of discussion on this internally. No online battles, hardly anyone played online, but thanks for your support at the end of ArcadeM@s' online scene. This game concentrates on your battles with NPCs.
We'll have online rankings and DLC in Im@s2. Information to come (about this, characters, and what's in the Im@s2 world).
Oh yeah, and RESTART is the message we've wanted to get out since like, July when we announced this.
I think that sums it up. Maybe we oughta watch for promotions within BNGI after release. Personally, I didn't see anything new.

Uh-oh. This is gonna spark some more hate. Either way, my theory on what Namco will do with them still stands.
Elixir:
Namco are too proud of themselves to listen to fans and adjust their games according to what fans want. Look at the Tales series.
It really is a shame that iM@S was made by Namco Bandai.

But they already put all the effort into the character design, the models, the motion capture, the voice actors, the storyline for Jupiter. Why would they go throw all of that out?
And -why- the hate for male idols? Are players -that- scared that male characters have been introduced to the series? Jupiter wasn't put in the game to be love-rivals; they're put in the game for the sake of Kuroi having something to play with while we overtake 961. Again.
And I don't believe RK was taken out because Jupiter is in the game. That's a way uneven amount of stuff to cram on that disk; the amount of space Ritsuko, Iori, Ami, and Azusa would've commanded is, without a doubt, way more than the bit Jupiter took.
I don't get all the hate for the new content XD That's how the game is going to be. It's a -new- iM@S game.
I'd only call it a shame because it isn't subtitled and overseas, yet.

What I don't understand up to this point is that while people say DVD's data capacity might be the reason, that's not really a problem, now is that? They can simply release it as a DLC for free. That had drive was there for a reason.
They can just say: "Um... Look, it's not like we want to do this, but DVD's capacity < Blu-Ray, so please bear with us and download the rest of the game if you want RK's portion. If you don't wanna then it's fine, you can play it either way"
That's an instant download for all fans (even if they charge for it. Heck, that's RK! They charge for a different texture of the same costume), and those who are new won't really bother to download it, that's a real win-win solution there.
Personally, I could care less about Jupiter, as long as they don't make their way into a complete wallpaper featuring all idols, or duet song with 765 in a CD. I'm a guy, I want to see and hear girls, not boys, and especially not cel-shaded boys with 14 years old named Shota in it. Loli is one thing, but yaoi shounen ai featuring shota is a different matter altogether.
