Also, every five main releases they change the announcer. Might they do the same for 2015? I hope it's a girl with a slightly urban sound, moreso than Solo/Extra Mix. Also change the background music pleeeeease.
Better yet, no announcer!
...okay I don't mind the announcer on the menus and before you actually start stepping on the arrows, but having someone yell over the music every 10 seconds with lines that got old before they were even stated is just stupid in a rhythm game. I don't care what they do with the next announcer (hopefully a lot less annoying of one), but he/she better talk WAYYYYYYY less than the current one.
Unfortunately it seems more like every 2-3 seconds... but even every 10 seconds would be quite annoying because it doesn't change the fact that they distract you from listening to the music. And of course, there is always that feeling you get when a stranger out of nowhere screams "WHOO!!!" and break your concentration, except the game does that for you. Tongue

In short, yes I agree. I prefer silence during gameplay. I wish that was an option in-game (like they did in most of the console releases), because yes, some people prefer an announcer at times. It might be even better if we had a choice of announcers.

I'm glad that the Summer Diary songs are coming to EXTRA ATTACK, but why on earth is it being padded out so much? Like, I would understand it being like In The Breeze one week, then all the crossover/original songs next week, and Natsuiro DIARY the week after that. But it seems like they're padding it even more than that for no readily apparent reason; it looks like the crossovers/originals are being split into two weeks.

Like, come on. Do they just not have anything else planned for DDR at the moment?

It worries me that DDR is being a little ignored and Out of Focus (Wait, I've said this before). Even DanceEvolutionARCADE seems to be more active than DDR.

Speaking of announcers, it's strange that DDR's currently the only active BEMANI game to have a male announcer, while jubeat, REFLEC BEAT, pop'n music, and I think BeatStream all have a female announcer.

4th PLUS' announcer is the same as the regular 4th mix.
Only the Solo series and Extra Mix had a female announcer (and I think Ultramix too but I'm not really sure)

I think you can choose your announcer in the Ultramixes and Uni3. Not TOO sure about Ultramix 1, but I definitely remember the option coming later.

jubeat knit had a male announcer btw.
IIDX sort of had a male announcer too (by MITSURU, costing a bunch of dellar).
Currently focusing on maimai, solely because KONAMI is just stupid in the console systems.
Scratch that, Taiko is finally coming to Hong Kong!

I don't know if it was with the original announcer or added in KONAMIX, but there's just one line that I can't remember exactly how it went, but it was the funniest thing ever. It was something like "I see a dream in your dance! I see tomorrow in your dance! We'll call it: Our hope." I loved how he usually wasn't an donkey like all the announcers after him, he was just so freaking funny and told people who failed a lot, just practice son, no harsh remarks. He may as well be the Shia Labeouf of DDR! Meanwhile the current one is just a complete jerk. I miss the cliche silly announcer of the olden days.
I bet you thought I was going to swear in those spoilers hahahah wow im funny cuz i didintt xd wit

"Just Play Along"
People have gotten so accustomed to events that if there arent any theyll start saying DDR is dead and whatnot. What's stopping them from rolling out a big update full of songs and a new interface (which is honestly way overdue) or even hosting a location test for a new cabinet? It doesnt always have to be events. Then again I could be wrong. Why have a whole new cabinet ie they just had the location test for the american version? Oh well, i just feel if there is so much silence that something big is coming...

"BANNED"
Ultramix 1 has Audio Angel (Rashida M. Clendening) and Jacob Thompson Female and Male

Ultramix 2 has Melissa Hutchinson and (again) Jacob Thompson Female and Male

Ultramix 3 has Radio Active Male Only

Ultramix 4 has Radio Active (Again) Male Only. There is a Female voice, but I dunno if she counts.
