iDOLM@STER 2!!

[Maiku_Ando]

That's exactly it. Those 2 potential "idol" spaces in the character roster are for the cars of the train.

We see what you did there, NBGI.

Maybe there testing the water to see if we like trains.... 6 months to a years time...

NEW from NBGI:  "The Train Master" ...Raise your train, send it to new places and tracks...paint it different colours...transport lovely idols...make them dance with your train on stage...

So basically a cheap lego loco ripoff. although, none of you have probably played that.  

they could totally pull off a train game. but even if they did Idolm@ster 2 would overshadow it.

I don't know... that train looks pretty popular...

I see your mental image and raise it by adding Yukiho sitting on top of the engine

I not heard of that... I know Sid Meyier's Railroads however, that's pretty good, its on PC, I play that a lot lol.

That mental image comes all too clearly...I can't believe 13 idols just got upstaged by a train XD

Though, train games aren't a bad idea. After all, Spirit Tracks did pretty well for itself, I hear. Throw the idols into a train XD

Jesus christ, sign me up, I'll preorder 10 copies!

Makes me wonder though, I wonder if they'll be a Live 4 You! 2 of some sorts :3

I hope there won't be. Cause I want the iDOLM@STER 2 to have the sandbox mode which I can just freely create a concert. Well, it's like this for iM@S SP, right?

Yeah, SP has "Office Mode", though it's different from L4U in that you still have to worry about your idol's stats (which usually isn't a problem if you've beaten the game with that idol) so they can still make mistakes.

[animagic4u]

If they don't put office mode into Idolm@ster 2 I'm sure a lot of people will be pretty angry since it's one of the best features of SP.

[Benpc91]

Nah, free auditions weren't anything too special.  I'd love a free L4U mode in iM@S 2 instead.

[TweenDoriru]

I enjoyed doing auditions like in Office Mode (especially the ones with the special rules to them) but L4U style has its pros in that 1: you don't have to do anything to watch the performance and 2: your idol won't fall over or skip lines during the song (or have a visual accident...which really has no effect XD)

What I wonder is if they have an Office/L4U mode, is if they'll still have a 3-idol minimum.

[animagic4u]

I don't know if certain songs will be able to be the same with one person.

Like if Danketsu makes it in the game I don't know how that would be one person.

[swiftnissity]

L4U2 as payed DLC? XD

bonus controllable train during performances option?

Yeah, that's the only bad point with it Like the earlier point that some songs may look awkward with only 4 people XD

Though, I know that (at least) The World is All One could hold itself pretty well as a solo (odd...) dance-wise.

bonus controllable train during performances option?

With the rising popularity of the train, there's no way that'd be free

Though I secretly hope The tR@INMASTER isn't going to be released in February 2011 XD
