DanceDanceRevolution (AC) (Japan)

Nice, glad to see some new songs after such a dry spell, looks like some good charts all around. SABER WING is a little bland, that middle part would benefit from not using the same pattern the entire time. Some great TAG songs!

Is this POSSESSION EVOLVED???

Here's some similarities:
-Both start at fast speed (POSSESSION-360, ÆTHER-384)
-Both are rated 17 on
-Both have slowdown sections
-Both have a Truck Driver's Gear Change at the end

Any differences I can't seem to point out, but I'm making the prediction of an 18 chart, just like POSSESSION

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but it had more similarities to PARANOiA REVOLUTION and all 18+ challenge charts have a slowdown I believe.

Moving on, on Bemani Wiki it says that MAX 300's original video from MAX is added into the game. It also talks of Vanessa and PARANOiA REVOLUTION. Does that mean it's full screen? Can anyone confirm?

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't they claiming they were going to release the new theme in March? If so, what gives?

---

I remember from JAEPO that the update would come out sometime in Spring. We still have this month and May for it to come out.

---

And about 2/3 of June...

PARANOiA Revolution has been fullscreen since like the beginning of the game, IIRC. It's saying MAX 300 has its video like in VANESSA's stage. Last time I checked I didn't see any video playing though, might need to check again.

---

What about this ?

---

Whoa, what

---

Oh, I didn't even notice the X4. Probably won't take this very seriously until some other info comes out.

Put the kanji into Google Translate, that's a message saying the "DDR X4" will be removed on April 21st.

Removed? But There was not DDR X4 before

---

Wherever this place was must have referred DDR 2013 as DDR X4 for some strange reason, either that or they must have had some version of DDR not even legally distributed *coughsomeStepManiathemecough*

I do wonder if Japan or other places (hello China) actually call this DDR 'X4', but seeing that X4 is nowhere to be found in the title you'd have to be pretty out there to call it that. Or bad at Engrish.

But all naming jokes aside, what this could mean is that the theme that was shown a while ago might be coming out very soon, could be possible the announcement was made to let people know the old version is being removed to make way for the new version.

---

Somebody told me that although she doesn't know some of Japanese text inside, she told me that there are part that says "Sorry for inconvenience".

Might be out of order IMO.

More news on the DanceDanceRevolution update will be presented on the next Bemani Namahousou on Thursday, 8:30 JST.

Finally, it's about time.

I'm hoping TAG Play mode will finally be released to the public. There has been no word on that since before the game was released.

---

From BEMANI Namahousou, maybe someone can help translating.





・ Result display and selection display will be changed.
・ Sealed EXTRA ATTACK:
　You can get unlock points when you clear specific song on EXTRA STAGE.
　This mode is playable only premium mode (PASELI only)
　We don't know what will happen in Asia area.
・ High speed option will be extended. (not sure, apparently able to refine speed even more)
・ Option to display measure lines.
・ Extra gauge option will be added. (option to use 4 life gauge during normal play... not sure about this)

---

I agree with the option about the option to choose a regular gauge or a life gauge for EXTRA STAGE. It does seem to make things way easier than it should like it was with the ability to choose options in DDR Extreme 2 and DDR Strike's Challenge Course Mode, but I guess it's to have more people to clear EXTRA STAGE than they were without more options. It also seems they haven't said when the update was going to be released either.
