True!

This is shit. (It's fucking shit)

Also, this isn't really a controversial Bemani opinion as much as it may be a controversial Zenius -I- vanisher opinion, but what the hell is with the official simfiles being plagued with awful, blotchy jackets like this one that are stretched AND jankily AI upscaled?

https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/simfiles/Dancing%20Stage%20Fusion%20%28AC%29%20%28Europe%29/Good%20Luck/Good%20Luck-jacket.png

It makes this one look so much worse than it is in its raw, 320x240 form. I'd honestly rather just have black borders at the top and bottom instead of them being stretched like this. If having 512x512 jackets is really THAT mandatory, leave the creation of them to people that know how to do them.

I can see both sides of this. Typically the untranslated songs are of some genre I don't care for, so I'm not interested. However every once in a while, there will be a Daikenkai or an Endorphin buried somewhere in there that I absolutely love, so you should try new things sometimes.

This is what I mean lol

I do care for Japanese-titled songs like Beautiful Receipt, The Crazy Rice Song, Dopamine, Mei, Nageki No Ki etc just not the Touhou or licenses

If I could hazard a guess about the whole Japanese/transliteration thing, I'd say it has something to do with Konami focusing on the Japanese arcade market first and foremost. It would certainly make sense for them business-wise, since the arcade gaming scene still seems to have more life in it over there compared to the West, plus the whole lockdown business ("Corona-sakoku", as I call it) over the past few years, but for the rest of us, there are drawbacks. Come to think of it, I wonder if that's why we still haven't gotten A3 almost a year on...

Anyway, speaking of jacket/BG art, there were some really stupidly basic ones back in the day. I'm talking ones that have basically nothing going on but a simple WordArt of the title, like

Like, couldn't they have put in some of the DDR characters dressed as Lupin's gang or something?

"Revolution"
DANCE aROUND is highly enjoyable and I am glad it made it to its 1-year anniversary.
Music is always running in my mind... Everyday, songs old and new come to mind.
...
I wonder how a DJ Hero-esque mix of an AFRONOVA medley and Fascination MAXX would sound...

This may not be anything important, but I really wish Bemani/Konami didn't have to get rid of the non-human characters (EX: Konsentos, Zukins, PiXs) I feel like they just stand out more to me compared to the other human characters. Not trying to belittle the human characters though.

im glad that Victory Concent, Geisha zukin, and PiX got a little mini game though in X2 before they got removed. But it just makes me sad how rarely the non human characters are ever talked about in the DDR community. I think it'd be awesome for them to have some sort of comeback in the future, even if they are just on a song cover it'd still make me so so happy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also wish there were more lore w the characters too. I know most of it is untranslated but I'm a huge sucker for character lore, even if those characters do nothing but dance on the DDR cab screen.

Dance Dance Revolution Music peaked at A Stupid Barber and Scorching Moon.

Ever since it’s been downhill with a few bright spots.

I’m not sure if I agree with the music peaking at those two songs specifically, but I do agree that it’s been downhill for quite awhile now. I can say the same thing about beatmania IIDX’s music.

my controversial opinion is that i don't get the people that put way too much care into the ddr characters like they're not all just the same lame distraction with no personality. pop'n lives and breathes off its characters but ddr fans still wanna try to act like they got something.

Some people are just horny for polygons that are moving in a way that might suggest they're dancing.

he's so real for dancing over takoyaki tbh. I like how they've kept his fondness for takoyaki as a part of his character lmao

Guy's literally spitting facts. Euromix2 fucked a lot of them up (examples: LIVING IN AMERICA, AFRONOVA, DESTINY, NORI NORI NORI) and EXTREME not only didn't bother to fix them, but also fucked up some other songs such as MIRACLE and LOVIN' YOU.

Wasn't MIRACLE's original video just the same two clips repeated over and over for nearly the entire song? I'd say Extreme fixed it.

Anyway, my controversial opinion is that PARANOiA Survivor Max is bad. People cling to it because it was the hardest song for a few years, but it's just a sped-up PARANOiA Survivor with mirrored steps and some filler tacked onto the end. Musically, it feels unnecessary. I always got the impression that Survivor was the "intended" version, and Survivor Max was just something extra tossed in at the last minute.
