DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

What are you talking about here? IIDX 19 was released and appears to be fully unlocked already.
I agree, this is taking way to long.

I found an incomplete ranking website for the songs on DDR X3 if anyone is interested

by the way, I have a video of every Single Expert and challenge chart for X3 on my channel if anyone is interested.

One last request, does DDR X3 has any END CREDITS? I really want to see the ARTIST and REMIXERS list of the game since that sometimes give us a hint for the future unlocks just like JAKAZiD and Orbit1 & Milo for example.

I second this.

alright, I'll have to see, I honestly dont know what they have cause people play right after another at the end of their rounds since its still a new game. I'll see if I can delay and snap a video of the end without making people too angry, haha.

Ahhh. That explains that, finally...
Been wondering since day one if they just recycled the video/song from X2 or if they got a new one. But then everyone cut off their videos just before the credits would logically pop up without a one second glimpse. xP

---

Konami should be a little embarrassed that all the new 14s in X3 have been called out in BemaniWIKI as having been misrated. Which is true.

---

Well, except for Chronos (which they're suggesting should be a 15).

---

They should also be embarrassed that X3 is entering its 2nd month of inactivity...

Maybe it's because of coordinating song production for SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH.

---

X3 was totally not a rushed release, right? So I wonder why it's so lackluster in quality.

---

None of SVB was done by BEMANI artists, not to mention that Lincle, Fantasia, and RB Limelight were released close to X3 and are not having this problem...

I wonder if they are trying to solve the whole X3 AC US manufacturer problem before they move on to unlocks so Japan will not have a fully unlocked machine by the time it comes out everywhere else.

I doubt this because it's not stopped them before and it would be unfair to Japan players to keep them waiting. Maybe they realize that unlocks on a US/EU machines are not that big of a deal seeing how anyone could just go to this site or BMS to see what the hidden songs are. It's less of a "OH MY GOD GOLD RUSH" and more of a "Gold rush unlocked, about time". If that's the reason then I'm all for it but I do understand how the Japan players are starting to get peeved off by this.

---

I was under the impression that a US version wasn't even coming out?

Of course, the last time I checked was about a month ago...

AFAIK that was some retailer who talked to konami and got some info and then ran with it, they've yet to be proven right or wrong.

I imagine we'll get news soon enough. But yeah this is kinda embarrassing.

---

So, does the staff blog not mention ANYTHING about Internet Ranking/Unlocks/Anything?!?

Is the staff even blogging anymore or has Pie simply stopped translating it due to nothing of note?

I've stopped translating due to my free time being very limited by school/work, but they last blogged two weeks ago and it was about New Years.

Are they aware their game is out. It kind of seems like they aren't. ;)

---

I've always wondered if it was rushed though. Only 7 new licenses outside of 2nd mix mode, no American licenses, no new costumes and apparently DDR has suffered the same fate with the rest of the Bemani games of no longer having console counterparts.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do remember Konami saying that 2nd mix mode was supposed to have full versions of licenses in game. Was this actually said by them?
