ロケテストがいよいよ始まります。
Location test is nearly starting.

今回のロケテストは、より「テスト」の意味合いが強いです。
新しい試みとともに、従来から変更している要素も多いので、皆さんにいっぱいプレーして頂いてロケテストノートに御意見頂けると幸いです。
In this location test, the meaning of the test will be strong.
Many features have been changed and some are new, please could everyone write in the location test notebook your opinions of them.

新要素については、今書いてしまうと、
「この目で確かめるんだ！」
という方の楽しみを奪ってしまうかもしれないので、ロケテストが始まってから少しずつご紹介できたらなと思っています。
Not sure^, something about new features, "please confirm it with your own eyes!" etc etc


さて、今回のロケテストにて皆さんの反応を見たい要素をいくつかここでご紹介したいと思います。
Now then, I will now introduce the features everyone should be looking out for.

●新しい筐体

新筐体です。
なにはともあれ、新筐体です。
プレー感覚について、率直なご意見をいただければ、と思います。
アローの見え方、タイミング、踏んだ感覚など、、、。
New Cab Design
New Cab Design, what you ask?
The play feeling and your opinions of it. Seeing the arrow, timing and stepping etc...

幅広くいろいろな方に一度試してみて頂きたいなと思います。
^something about trying wide? huh?

●新しい難易度表記
New Difficulty Display

今回より２０段階にしております。
そして、その数値は、難易度が違っても同じくらいのクリアのし易さをあらわす方向に持っていっています。
例えば、BASICの５と、DIFFICULTの５は同じくらい、という感覚です。
１０段階の難易度表記では今後は厳しいな、という制作チームのアプローチです。
This time, the difficulties are rated in 20 ranks.
So afterwards, it is easier and clearer to see which difficulties are not the same. (?)
For instance, a BASIC 5 and DIFFICULT 5 will be the same.
The production team will not use the 10 ranks approach in the future.

※今回のロケテストでは見送っている要素
Elements to note in this location test

楽曲ムービーはまだ導入していません。
ちょっと物足りないかもしれませんがご容赦下さい。
新曲用に素敵なムービーもたくさん用意しておりますので、製品版にご期待下さい。
There are no music videos.
Please excuse this as it might not be satisfactory at the moment.
A lot of wonderful movies are being prepared for the new songs, please expect it in the final version.

e-AMUSEMENT PASSは使用しません。
あと、皆さんご期待のUSBメモリもまだ使用しません。
こちらのほうも、製品版をお楽しみに、ということで！
e-AMUSEMENT PASSes cannot be used.
And at the moment, USB memory sticks that everyone has waited for cannot be used.
And lastly, enjoy the final product version.

あと、ロケテスト版では、EXTRA STAGEまでで設定しています。
またまたこちらも製品版をお楽しみに、でお願いします！
And, an EXTRA STAGE has been set in the location test.
Again, please wait to enjoy the final version!

長文になりましたが、皆さんにはロケテストを楽しんで頂いて、制作スタッフはその反応を拝見したいと思います。
まだ粗削りな段階なんですが、なにとぞよろしくお願い致します。
We want you to have fun in this location and also want to see your reactions.
By any means, my best regards, even though it's on a rough stage. (?)

And yet...STILL no mentions of Shock Arrows...

It's the first part of the blog post. There will be a second one after I think.

Is any video & pictures allowed at the location test?

---

Ah I see that now.

Hope they update it soon, I want to know all the new features.

1-20 puzzles me. Did they not just preview a version at E3 with a 1-13 scale?!

Maybe when they looked at the partial song list for the PS2, 13 was the highest. But I geuss we will have to wait & see

---

Absolutely not. Some will leak out for sure though.

I don't care how, as long as we get a list, I'm happy.

---

A 1 through 20 scale would make Butterfly being an 11 make a lot more sense... if the 15-20 range is ridiculous. I wonder how the stepchart makers would deal with this if they were still being told what difficulty to make the charts...
Also, I'm going to bet that the Extra Stage in this test is a 17 or 18.

---

Yeah, something tells me people are reporting the 13 thing because that's how high the songs on the E3 demo go.

---

Heh, this is exactly what EvilDave just posted on BMS. He also said Dub-I-Dub Heavy is 13.

So this is all pretty confusing. Dub-I-Dub is a moderate 8 from what I remember...So, it's REALLY hard to tell how the scale is going to work.

Butterly Oni has been moved to heavy and the oni is just the light chart with some shock arrows. Looks like Challenge Mode has turned to gimmick mode .
