Beatmania IIDX 16 Empress CS discussion - Page 45

Yeah, the bikini result screens from 9th & 8th style aren't there, most likely due to the CERO....

Got a response from P-A:

I am sorry to hear about the delay. I must admit that the lead time is higher than an average shipping time. However we have also seen lots of cases where airmail shipments take around 5 to 21 working days. In your case we'd still recommend you to wait a little bit longer. There's a good chance that the parcel turns up within the next couple of days.

Please also notice that sometimes items are held up by your local post office or customs service. If you haven't done so yet, we recommend you to ask your post office for assistance as well.

So it might come as late as NEXT WEEK. Seriously?? Well, hopefully, it'll come sometime this week (aiming for today or tomorrow). & I need to see if I can somehow contact my post office & ask if they know about it, but seeing as I don't have a tracking number....I don't think it'll do any good...

Edit: So much for getting it today....

Just sounds like bad luck then :/ I don't think it's realy fair to peg it on Play-Asia. I'm sure in any batch of games that goes anywhere, especially in 2disc cases, there's going to be a decent chance of one or two being messed up during packaging or shipping.

Still really sucks though, I know I'd be pissed

I'm glad I ordered from JapanVideoGames. My copy arrived 4 days after release with the free shipping option. It does suck for those who haven't received theirs yet.

Has is been confirmed that Gambol [a] is not in this game? I know the GJA cheat will probably work, but it would be nice for the another chart to have its own record.

zonic505 · 11-02-2009, 07:14 PM

Yes, the GJA/GJH trick still works, but Gambol doesn't have any Another charts (you'd think Konami would add the chart that inspired the trick).

So like, how come none of the CS songs got Black Anothers?

Because they're CS songs and they're new so they don't need black charts...yet. Just like we probably won't see black charts in AC during beat #1 for a few styles.

Maybe in Premium Best, but I know Dancin' Into The Night doesn't have an Another either.

The Safari.

Jeff Paine · 11-02-2009, 10:31 PM

oh right I haven't popped in the EMPRESS disc in a while

but yeah, on Premium Best it's the only song without an Another

I find it strange that they removed the bikini pics from 5th-9th Style (I recall seeing Celica in a bikini twice playing 5th Style; it's rare), yet kept the VJ GYO race queen pics. That's just as much cleavage as any.

Deca · 11-02-2009, 10:58 PM

I'm disappointed they didn't give The Safari an another or just two new charts like Make a Difference.

Would have been cool if the 7key had been the old slower one and the another was the faster version.

I thought the Another was the old Hyper/7Key chart, and they made a new easier Hyper.

Still can't pass the newer faster THE SAFARI when I passed it on 3rd Style

The another might be the old chart but it really felt to me like it had a lot more notes. It had been a while since I played it before playing it on Empress but I used to play the hell out of that song.

If someone could definitively clarify that'd be cool.

I went and checked textage.cc and compared charts.

The new Hyper has only a few less notes than the old Hyper (old = 859; new = 846), but the final double note rolls are much easier, which it's why it's a 9 rather than a 10 before.

The Another is new, building off the old Hyper (it has the old double note rolls), but bumps the note total to 1155 (!). Doesn't that make it nearly an 11, especially for the worser ending?

Look for yourselves:

New HYPER: "GOSPEL" Make A Difference
Old HYPER: "GOSPEL" Make A Difference
ANOTHER: "GOSPEL" Make A Difference

Yeah a lot of the Premium Best songs are misrated (especially Anothers)
