I agree. I started on a 3rd Korean V2, and really thought the Euro licenses were great and the "catastrophic" songs were the right balance of difficult: the chart was nonstop pace (no gaps) while not being repetitive (ie let's put ANOTHER crossover and make it real fast). IMO Dancemania licenses were best because they were actually danceable and catchy.
I understand that, given the resource constraints and shifts in music popularity, they have changed the game to include more mainstream tracks and "dumbed down" the overall difficulty of most charts, save the boss songs. I'll admit, there are a few pretty good expert charts on X2, but they aren't for the licensed tracks. The quality of some of the KOs is really good too, but then there are tracks like new Dynamite Rave and new Keep on Movin' that make me question why even update them at all? Overall, X2 is better than SN2 by far and better than X in terms of KOs, but the overall quality doesn't compare to older releases like 3rd mix or MAX JP.
On a different subject, has anyone completely uncovered the pictures in Request Mode and do you actually get anything for doing so? I have most of the pictures uncovered but the thought of having to complete DMM, especially those marvelous attack ones, makes me reconsider if the reward is something like a URL link for a wallpaper.
