I always love when people do the smashing thing.  Cause hasn't it been proven with otaku, they'll buy multiple copies of stuff?  IDK just looks like in that picture, whoever it is, they're just smashing extra copies.  Anyone remember that one guy who bought a gazillion SP copies when it came out?  I'd have to assume this is just them killing their 4th or 20th copy xD

I think it's still pretty sad to see this stuff ._. I mean, what a waste. Think about how many people would've loved to have this sort of thing, and are now seeing it all cracked and torn apart :-\

By the way, I don't know if it's already been stated on this topic somewhere or not, but...what does "Ryuuguu Komachi" mean, anyway? Something with dragons?

Ryuugu is an old expression that basically means "The Palace of the Dragon King". Komachi just means a beauty or belle.

I quite like "Beauties of the Dragon Court" as a translation but with all these things there's room to make fruity interpretations.

Forgive me for asking, but where's the proof that only 9 Idols will be producable in Idolm@ster 2? If that's so, the 2nd PV is very misleading.

Ryuuguu Komachi is a rival unit. Therefore, if you're going up against Iori, Ami, and Azusa, with Ritsuko as their Producer, you can't produce any of them. Without a doubt, that is involved in a "Story" mode.

The 2nd PV had to be either:
1: A "free-produce" mode, or
2: An "office"/"L4U" free-stage mode.

I'm kind of possibly clinging onto the belief that you might be able to 'unlock' the Ryuugukomachi idols later in the game - especially as it looks like they'll be your Fes rivals for the first half and Jupiter might be for the second?

But I'm kind of resigned to Azusa and Ritsuko seperation and will have to live with it, I guess.

I believe it was straight out of Sakagami's mouth during the TGS event. Otherwise, this very ominous sounding comment from Ishihara, during his interview with Famitsu (linked earlier).

EDIT: I'd like to add that, my memory could be a bit fuzzy whether he actually said, word-for-word, you couldn't produce them, but I remember hearing something out of his mouth that pretty much confirmed it for me. I'll never forget that feeling...

Quote from: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201009/18033749.html
ユーザーの皆さんには春香のプロデューサー、千早のプロデューサーではなく、765プロのプロデューサーになって、自分たちといっしょに彼女たちを盛り上げていってほしいということなので。

I would like everyone to not think of themselves as Haruka's Producer, or Chihaya's Producer, but rather as a 765 Producer, and enjoy their time with the idols in the game that way.

The Im@s2 main page says you can add two guests to your unit for a stage live, from Ryuuguu or from the 6 you're not producing. This was also reported in Famitsu.

I'd like to thank everyone for their responses to my question.
It seems to me that both Ritsuko's unit and Jupiter are meant as Rivals in story mode, though you'll probably be able to pick and choose from all of them in office mode.

And I don't think of the introduction of male idols in Idolm@ster is bad, it's just we all tend to resist change,even though it always comes given time. I also think that if this succeeds, an Idolm@ster for girls, or ladies side is a definite possibility.

And finally a LOL at the 1/5s, I can't give a rotten review to something I haven't played yet (at least I can't).

Pre-release reviews are even more amazing than destroying your own stuff.

This whole thing reminds me of the New Coke debacle which I used to study all the time in Marketing and Economics. Many Azusa, Iori, Ritsuko and Ami fans have been with them since the Arcade game, so it's not surprising they feel betrayed.
