idolm@ster

When I made the last entry, I thought, yeah right, you're gonna get those games like tomorrow and feel like a fool.

WELL I DID. Now I'm psychic. NO AUTOGRAPHS, PLEASE.

I went right into idolm@ster and now that I'm about 15 minutes of playing that from ODing, I'll talk about it in my journal!

It's fun! There aren't as many boob-touch moments as I thought, and the systems aren't as hard. I can't help but think that I would feel differently if I was attracted to the characters. It would be both more awful and more addictive :/ Like you'd expect from a rhythm game, it's easy to pick up and pretty much impossible to perfect. At this point my goal is to get an idol at a high level and a buttload of outfits so I can play dress-up and make videos! >:D I find myself wanting Wandering Star but I'm not sure that's a financially sound decision at this point in time >3>

I think this isn't a game for everybody. You have to at least like the gameplay or the girls---in my case I enjoy the gameplay, so I take interest in auditions, but I find myself a little bored or even lost during communication. Maybe I should save that for when I want to talk to Azusa and enjoy it instead of getting 5 memories ORZ

By the way, my verdict is in on Miki, and it is not looking good >_>;;; Seriously Japan? Your favorite girl is the beyond easy dumb blonde who talks about herself in the third person with a squeaky voice and has to insist she's 14 because her rack is too gigantic, but wins everything because she is destined to be a star? That hurts, okay? I must be missing some of the depth in her character I keep rebuffing her attempts to make me her producer. .-. ...right?

Miki. Yeah. Like, ...

I guess this is where you have to just admit that it's a game initially directed at a very specific audience and then just run with it.

I haven't managed to play it yet myself, kinda busy lately with the move. I'll be there in time to meet Narugami I think!

Maybe I can just outright hate Miki because it's the PSP version and she's a villain anyway? ^^;;; Suddenly, opportunities to shoot her down! Everywhere! OH WHAT A PURIST AM I.

Bah, that sounds like fun, though. I NEED MORE JAPAN PEOPLE TO MEET.

Are you playing the PSP version? :O *thinking of importing*

Yup! I'm playing Missing Moon, but not Chihaya yet because I'm afraid of the Chihaya Spiral (http://idoldictionary.net/dictionary/wiki.cgi?page=%C0%E9%C1%E1%A5%B9%A5%D1%A5%A4%A5%E9%A5%EB), where you can't make Chihaya happy and you eventually get completely screwed =_=

I should mention the Japanese level: dialogue choices are timed, but you can pause any time except during auditions, and when you pause there is no timer. This works to your advantage in certain minigames, too. :3 You should be ready to mess up a bit unless you're really comfortable reading fast.

Also, I found deciding which version to get really hard despite everything they tell you about the girls... >3> If you want Missing Moon, maybe we can trade?
