Alongside the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X on March 24th in Japan, SEGA have announced that they will also be releasing a demo for the game. The demo will contain the following songs: “Love Song” (“Ai no Uta”), “Strangers”, and “LOL -lots of laugh-“.
Atlus will be releasing a series of trailers telling us a bit more about the five main characters of the game, and the first one in the list is Gwendolyn, the Valkyria Princess. Below you can find the trailer, a few new screenshots as well as an excerpt from the official press release from Atlus U.S.A.
SEGA have released a new commercial for the upcoming release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X in Japan. The game will be released on March 24th for the PlayStation Vita, with a release on PlayStation 4 scheduled for this fall. We’ve been providing regular updates for the game ever since it was announced, so if you’re looking for more information, be sure take a look at our previous Project DIVA X articles!
We recently posted an article about the two new DLC characters for Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax: Ignition, namely Ako and Lucian from the light novel series “Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko Janai to Omotta?”. Dengeki Online has now posted a gameplay video featuring the two characters. Only Ako is playable, while Lucian is the support character. You can watch the video below!
Happy Hatsune Miku Day! March 9th is recognized as “Miku Day” in Japan, since “mi” and “ku” can refer to “3” and “9.” Miku Day is not the same thing as Miku’s birthday in Japan (August 31) but is nevertheless a widely celebrated occasion.
While Miku Day has passed in Japan, many of us in other parts of the world have not had a chance to celebrate. Give thanks to Hatsune Miku today!
SEGA have posted their 8th information update article for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, revealing screenshots of the game’s “Ultimate Medley” (which we talked about earlier), which is a medley containing some of the most challenging songs that were featured in earlier Project DIVA games. Shortly before that, SEGA also released a new trailer showing footage from the game’s Cute Medley, called “Idol Sounds” (arranged by Vocaloid producer Mitchie-M).
Famitsu released a video of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X featuring a new addition to the series – Live Quest mode. My colleague Draikin has written articles on Live Quest mode previously, and now the video can act as a sort of visual synthesis for the detailed coverage he’s provided on this mode.
To summarize: there are five Areas in Live Quest mode, each of which are themed after the five Elements in Project DIVA X. The player is free to cycle between the five Areas at their leisure. Within each Area are Elemental-themed songs that must be cleared, and after clearing a song the player acquires Voltage that “restores” the Area of a particular Element. But any given Area cannot be fully restored without finally completing a Medley featuring songs of a particular Element.
Check out the video below! It lasts for a little more than five minutes and serves as a comprehensive overview of the Live Quest mode experience on the Playstation Vita. If you missed out on Rush Notes before, you can also see it in this video.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X is due for release in Japan on March 24. We still do not have any word on localization outside of Japan.
Dualshockers posted an update on their website showing the new opening cinematic for Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode 4. The cinematic was taken from SEGA’s live niconico stream, and again features a setting on Earth, but this time we get to see the game’s heroes fight against a battleship that looks suspiciously like the Japanese battleship Yamato, the largest battleship ever built, which was sunk during WWII. In addition, fighter planes similar to the Japanese “Zero” (although carrying a different, fictional, roundel) appear in the battle.
Atlus U.S.A. have posted a new trailer for Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, demonstrating the game’s skill and combat system. The remake of the original Odin Sphere has received a considerable overhaul of the gameplay mechanics, as developer Vannilaware used their experience gained from Dragon’s Crown to improve upon Odin Sphere’s original combat system. Each character has its own extensive skill tree, allowing players to customize their fighting style. To unlock and upgrade skills, you’ll need Phozons and Phozon Prisms, which can be obtained by defeating enemies and exploring different areas.
SEGA of Japan is not letting up on the Project DIVA X updates, as another update was posted today, revealing more of the game’s features as well as screenshots of the recently announced songs and their corresponding modules.
