Blather about PSP games

[cuddlefish]

Radiant Mythology 2's mercenary download system runs on PSP wifi, not the computer. One might understand that I am nervous about how that's going to be when I can't get the fucking PSP to connect to wifi in my own house. I thought it was okay, but supremely inefficient to go to a cafe with wifi. Pages geared to the PSP loaded slowly, an 85kb download took 2 minutes for the machine to handle, and of course I got kicked out after half an hour. How am I supposed to shoot through lists of mercenaries and spend time considering my choices? They also changed the levels you can specify in a search (multiples of 10 only) so I can't go looking for pictures of other people's characters wearing armor for inspiration :(

I listened to this interview with the director of idolm@ster SP, and like it says on that page, each idolm@ster SP game is different.

Perfect Sun (the pink one with Haruka, Yayoi, and Makoto): a conventional idol story made to please all audiences (since this is the one with Haruka I'm guessing it's good but bland)

Wandering Star (the yellow/green one with Yukiho, Iori, and Ami-Mami): wacky, off-the-wall, possibly even weird, appealing to dedicated fans (Ami and Mami have a fun patter and a reputation)

Missing Moon (the blue one with Chihaya, Ritsuko, and Asukaお兄さん): the director says it's like Perfect Sun, but like a soap opera. Conventional, a little more serious than Perfect Sun, with an emphasis on relationships (this one has Chihaya, so it must be dramatic)

Again and again I hear that I'm just supposed to pick the girl I like, but...I'm not really "into" any of them :| I just wanna dress 'em up, make them sing songs, and do funny stuff. WHICH ONE *writhes in agony*
