SEGA of Japan have released another song trailer for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, showing the videos for some of the songs they announced earlier on. The songs featured in the trailer are the following:
Three Atlus games have been discounted on the US PlayStation Store starting today until March 1. These include the PS Vita RPG Persona 4 Golden, its rhythm game spin-off Persona 4: Dancing All Night and the tactical RPG Lost Dimension. Take a look at the list below for more information on the discounts, and a link to the PlayStation store pages for the games in question!
In one of our latest Project DIVA X updates we talked about the three newly announced songs for SEGA’s upcoming rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. The article also included some screenshots of the music videos accompanying these songs in the game, as well as for the corresponding modules (costumes) for the characters. SEGA of Japan have now released additional screenshots for those songs, and you can take a look at them below. For the song “Hikyou Sentai Urotander”, we also included the modules again, as this time we also get to see the characters without their helmets.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, SEGA has posted a short video on Twitter featuring the song “LOL -lots of laugh-” in Project DIVA X. The song was also featured in earlier Project DIVA games and more recently Project Mirai DX on the Nintendo 3DS. You can watch the video below. Unfortunately the video and more notably the audio quality leaves something to be desired, but it appears to be the only source for the video for now. Aside from that, SEGA also included Valentine Day’s Wallpaper in their latest update on the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website.
There are no separate versions of the wallpaper this time around, and interestingly the characters design uses a cell-shaded style that appears to be somewhat in between that of the Project DIVA games and Project DIVA Arcade. Perhaps this is the kind of style we can expect from the PS4 version of Project DIVA X? We’ll have to wait and see. You can find the full version of the wallpaper below, or by clicking on the featured image of this post!
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X will be released on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016. There’s been no word yet regarding a release of the game for the West.
As we could already see near the end of the latest promotional video, SEGA will be partnering with Japanese airline “Air Do” for the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. Pre-orders (including digital downloads) and first print runs of the game will come with a code to unlock a special “CA Style A” module for Hatsune Miku, giving her a rather classy flight attendant uniform.
SEGA of Japan have released a promotional trailer for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, showing us an overview of everything the game has to offer. This includes the event quests, elements, free play mode, modules, etc. For more information on these and other features in the game, be sure to check out all our previous articles. You can take a look at the trailer below!
SEGA of Japan have recently released another update for Project DIVA X, detailing more of the game’s features and also revealing some screenshots of the songs and modules that were revealed in the latest Famitsu.
The “Home” screen shown below is the main starting point for the game’s Live Quest Mode, There, you can spend time talking to one of the Vocaloids featured in the game, and also transition to the” Area Select” screen.
In addition, you can customize the room using a variety of different themes.
As you progress through the game, various events will occur in the Home screen. Meeting certain conditions will unlock Event Quests, and some of these will also be character-specific.
Playing the rhythm game is linked to communicating with your characters. In other words, playing the game will bring you closer to the characters. Increasing your familiarity with the characters will give you small advantages in your quests. One way of achieving that is by giving gifts to your character, which can be obtained by playing the rhythm game. A wide variety of items can be gifted (food, toys, decoration, music, etc.). The reaction you get when you gift the items can range from “not pleased” to “very happy”.
In addition, the events that occur may differ depending on the item. So getting to see different reactions and events involves gifting various items.
Meet certain conditions and a special gift event will occur. The dialogue will give you hints to what the perfect gift is that you need to present to your character. Pick the right one and it will greatly increase your familiarity with the character.
As mentioned earlier, some of the gifts are also decorations that you can use to customize the room in the Home screen.
In our previous articles we talked about how modules are linked to one of the game’s five elements. Interestingly, the module that your character is wearing in the Home screen also influences their behavior and reactions. A “cool” module will have your character behave, you guessed it, in a “cool” way.
The PS Vita’s touch screen is also used here, as you can “poke” the character on the screen. This will also result in a different reaction depending on the module the character is wearing. It appears in the case of the “Chaos” module, your character is not amused.
On to the new screenshots of the rhythm songs and modules!
This new medley, arranged by Mitchie-M, contains the following songs:
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X will be released on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016. No Western localization has been announced, but given SEGA of America’s latest efforts in bringing games from Japan overseas, there should be a good chance that this game will make it to the West.
NISA Europe have announced that they will be publishing the 2D sidescrolling action RPG Odin Sphere Leifthrasir in Europe, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The game will be localized in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, and will be available in both digital and physical form. The special Storybook Edition will be exclusively available from Amazon UK and GAME, with preorders becoming available tomorrow. For more information on the contents of this edition, take a look at our previous articles! It’s not clear at the moment if the softcover art book preorder bonus, which is being included in all versions of the game in the US, will also be included with the regular EU release.
You can view the English trailer on NIS America’s Youtube channel below. It’s the same as the one posted by Atlus U.S.A. earlier, but they also have the trailer available in other languages. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir will be released in the Americas on June 7th.
