iDOLM@STER 2!!

[iM@Sotaku]

Quick Question,
I was watching these : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlkUINEaj-U&feature=related
And I saw in the auditions your rivals(please feel free to correct me) are azusa, iori, and ami. does this mean they are non-playable characters? of course than why have them in the PVs singing with the other idols?

[s8C]

You can't have them as your main unit because Ritsuko is their producer, but the three of them and Ritsuko can guest star in your group if they're not your opponent for that audition.

[azuyuki]

I wonder, if you can't produce them yourself in game, do you think it would be a good idea to release DLC to play as Ritsuko and produce those three yourself?

[Elixir]

I would be pretty pissed off if I had to buy the game plus DLC just to play as my character of choice.

I dunno, having people pay for something that's already in the game is kinda cheap, isn't it? :\

Then again, NBGI has done it before, huh? OTZ

I could understand if they released a "DLC" patch sort of thing that allows you to use those 4, like if they were really left out because there wasn't enough space on the disc. I don't think people should have to -pay- for it, but...NBGI.

After looking at it, they really do limit RK use by a ton. No trio with Ami, Mami, and someone in between D: I swear I hope they're holding out on us and going to tell us there's some sort of souped-up office mode.

edit: unless they're trying to hold out to make L4U2 D:

You guys aren't thinking like NBGI. They will obviously charge you for each idol.

1200MSP each. As if they'd give all three out for the price of one....pffffft.

Your forgetting the unique outfits

and don't forget Smoky Thrill

Oh God, please don't give them ideas. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WOULD BUY IT ANYWAY.

I'm sorry ok!  I'm sorry!  Is it so bad wanting to have them all?

For 1200MSP per RK idol, I'd say XDD But if your wallet supports you, by all means

Namco are currently dispensing Tales of Graces costumes. They don't even look all that good.

I honestly feel bad buying so much DLC. I just use the punkish gothic theme most of the time anyway.

[animagic4u]

It seems almost inevitable for them to make DLC like that, unfortunately.
If they do that...I hope the guys are downloadable.   

[TweenDoriru]

If Jupiter became DLC, half of the iM@S fanbase would rage but would probably buy it anyway.

They really do get us with DLC...I wonder if iM@S2 will have L4U-like catalogs. With new songs (sans Little Match Girl) every (other) month. And "gifts" with the songs and costumes

I'm looking forward to the Extend costumes, too. Here's hoping they're not re-prints from the old games...except Punkish Gothic. That can come back. XD

The DLC in SP kinda screwed us over (or at least I thought so).
so the costumes should be better in 2.
