iDOLM@STER 2!!

[TweenDoriru]

True; 360's are region locked because of the actual disc, and not the console, right?

Though, the chances of it not being region locked seem slim...though, hey. With all of the fan complaining, it could expand their sales audience (even though people everywhere else are complaining about the same stuff).

[swiftnissity]

Well if what I heard is true, supposedly they originally intended on the game being released overseas ( Apparently it was an interview in relation to Miki where it was said if memory serves me correct? ).

If that was indeed true, perhaps they region locked it for that reason. Thus since no one picked up the game they may release it without the region lock to spread the name of the game, thus increasing the chances it will be picked up. If I recall, a similar thing happened with Fire Emblem. The characters gained popularity through the Super Smash Bro's series even though they still spoke Japanese and such, thus they localised the games.

Also after reading some stuff, I begun to wonder.
Is it possible that the Japanese fans are only pissed at the boys cause it seems like they are the only ones given any kinda of.......'sexual' vibe? I remember in the original, it was a bad response but you could touch the characters inappropriately and dress them in a somewhat showy nature. But for Idolm@ster 2, all we've gotten so far is the boys sexual hip movements

and recently in the updated Danketsu

Miki:
"Miki's name is Hoshii Miki!
I'm 15 years old, so I can get married now~!
I've been really working hard as an idol lately
Now I only nap 5 times a day! ...afuuu....

Eh?! Y-You want me to take the lead all of a sudden?
Oh Honey, you're such a perv... Aha!"

I don't have a problem whatsoever. As long as they don't completely write off the main cast and keep releasing music they own my life (and wallet).

A friend of mine came up with the idea that Ryuuguu Komachi exists because of the new commu system; as with 9 idols, there's a possibility of 84 different trio combinations, which would all branch into, without a doubt, specific responses and such with different trios. Add the 4 idols removed; then there's 286 possible. That'd be a lot of work for the CVs.

That's what I was trying to say before.

I don't really have anything negative to say about the game except that you can't produce Ryugu komachi. I really think they should give you an option to produce the Ryugu Komachi (which probably won't happen).
I don't mind Yukiho's new VA too much. I know it sounds way different from her old VA, but Yukiho will always be my favorite idol regardless. 

I got to say I like the costumes for Ryugu Komachi and Miki's and Mami's new looks. I also like that you can produce Takane now.

I personally don't really like Azusa's short hair that much. She still looks good but I still think she looked better with long hair.

I wish more people were like you XD

The Ryuuguu Komachi costumes are really great. Favor them in general over the Cute & Girly ones XD I think it's kinda like we got 3 idols; Takane, Hibiki, and Mami. I can't wait for the twins to actually be on stage together~

[Neruibara]

In regards to Yukiho's new VA, I'm okay with her. When I heard the side by side comparison, I thought the new one sounded a little less breathy. I contribute that to Yukiho having been at 765 for a while and growing a little more confident while on stage. To venture off topic a little, I'm going through a similar evolution. My stage confidence is growing with each performance. I guess that is why I empathize with Yukiho as a character. Getting back on track, Yukiho(and I) has gained more confidence on stage, while in private she(and I) is still the same shy person we know and love.

In regards to the ryugu komachi, although I am a little upset that Iori-hime won't be immediately producible, I am flexible. Having to work to produce my Iori-hime will make the experience all the sweeter.

In regards to Jupiter, those boys blew me away. I am now a firm supporter of 961 because of them. Well done, Kuroi-shachou. Well done! The new boys add a nice bit of both freshness and variety to the game. I can't help but wonder if namcobandai has any other wild cards to throw our way.

[TweenDoriru]

I hope that one of the next things that they show us isn't necessarily something so shocking; I want to see what the Cosmic & Funny stage outfits look like.

...well, I hope there still is Cosmic & Funny. I love those costumes

The release of the game is still pretty far away...I wonder how much they'll actually show us before the game comes out.

[Logan]

If they have Cosmic & Funny costumes again, I hope that they add even more flashing lights to them. XD;;

[animagic4u]

Speaking of costumes, I hope the ryugu komachi outfits will become unlockable like the Project Fairy ones.

[TweenDoriru]

I really like the idea of the Ryuuguu Komachi costumes being unlockable...I like the idea of RK-style costumes in general. Having all of 765Pro in those costumes would be great
