iDOLM@STER 2!!

[RhaXiel]

"An idol producing game wich cannot produce idols... its just a defective game!!"

I stopped at there an laughed for a minute without reason.... xD

[Lushe]

Though it probably won't happen, I still want a PS3 version of this game. XD (so I can import and play it on my NA PS3)

[Sev]

I came across this pic, taking a scene from the manga "Kaiji" to describe the situation among iM@S fans, which I think is kind of amusing...so I tried translated it.

This is truly funny observation but is also a very accurate portrayal of where iM@S fans both Japanese and Foreign are right now. In a way it kind of unifies us....

[TweenDoriru]

That comic, so true. iM@S rules us all OTZ

Also, no objections to a English subbed version objections to dubbed.

Also, PS3 version with all idols playable; no objections. Though, how much more can you do on a PS3/Blu-ray disc than a 360 one? Heck, if there's enough space they can give us Jupiter, too. *pelted by male-idol haters*

25 GB per-layer optical disc, being dual layer discs 50 GB,  five times more storage than on a DVD.

aaah, laughed my face off.
off topic, where is my second season of Kaiji TV >.>

Thanks for the translation.


Talking about Kentaro Miura, i forgot, but did he specifiy an idol he loved to produce?

[lisondra22]

Male idols are not very bad.
Kuroi's idea was very unique though.

The "Loveplus and Dream Club" part was funny though.

From the new Danketsu song

Mami:
"Lately everyone's talking about Futami Mami!
The crazily popular middle-schooler!
I guess I'd like a boyfriend and to be famous, but...
As long as I have my nii-chan, I guess I don't need them!

Mmhmmhmm~
If you want a leader, then just leave it to Mami!
I'll get you all to Brazil, I swear!" (I don't get it. I really don't get it, but that's seriously what it says. Luckily, it gets worse...)

Ami:
"I'm Futami Ami, her sister! Hey!
Could this mean... could it mean...?!
I'm a little sister character!
So my popularity with _________ is guaranteed! (The amount of spaces in the Japanese is exactly the right number of characters for 'lolicons'. Just sayin'.)

You're making Ami the leader, huh?
Looks like you know what you're doing!
Ami'll get you all to Brazil, I swear!" (The exact same line as Mami's! Yay... Brazil?)

This made me think of 'The world is all one', perhaps 'the world' implies the idols are now going worldwide? and Brazil could have the final/an important contest.

furthermore if you look at PV 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU2_30vbKps

you can see that Japan is broken up into sections, and then even further on a grid.

Then it might just be me but behind Yukiho, Hibiki and Mami is that China?
and behind Makoto, Takane and Miki, is that America?
and behind Chihaya, Yayoi and Haruka is that Australia?

PV 2 we can see pretty much the same thing

Now it might just be me, but perhaps you fight with the rivals over territories or something? Where your influence is spread?

And the twins mention of Brazil could be a reference to an important/the final event.

On the gameplay videos from TGS, you select a place for the audition.

I did wonder how that kind of island/grid system would come in, but that makes a lot of sense to me.




...also, I'm one of the few secretly hoping for 876 now that there seems to be some kind of hope in hell, but if they aren't in then I'm not going to flip my shit. |D

They know that, despite all the rage and flipping of shit, they're all going to buy the game anyway. Well played, Namco.

[RoninatorMarx]

I don't get why people are against male idols. It's not like you HAVE to produce them, and they're rivals. You'll be going AGAINST them.

Good point, Logan. If some fanboys must buy this game, it's to have a chance to murder them in cold blood.

lol. Hahah. That is funny. I'm actually tempted to use one of the komas there for an avatar.

Jesus, the balloons are 100% perfect for the setting! I laughed so hard I almost puke! (Just finished eating something watery)

You know, rather than males, they could put 876pro idols. After all, the VAs were already paid, and their voice are not bad.

Well, Ryo is a male, but that's not the point.

Also, no matter what they say, at least Iori will be producible. I know of a person who liked iM@S just because it has Rie Kugimiya in it.

Also, like I said, the VAs were already paid

I consider this proof that Kuroi is an epic-grade villain. :V Everyone hates his idols already and they haven't even really done anything villainous. Evidently people are misplaced in their hatred of Bandai-Namco and should be hating Kuroi. In a "you're meant to hate him because he's the villain but you respect him for being awesome" sense.

[Scotty]

I'm not evil. I'm merely better at finding talent.

[Magenta Galaxy]

Evidently they're just jealous.

[Scotty]

They are so very jelly.
