Like what? Make a Difference is a 10, no question it's not even close to an 11.

The only two songs I can think of that might be misrated are G2[b] (this really should be an 11) and snow storm[b] (could be an 11, but I doubt it; it's probably just the easiest 12).

Well, how awesome is this?! My game FINALLY arrived in the mail today! & I don't have school today, so I have all day to play it!!

......Alright, how the hell do I get Programmed World as the Extra Stage? I've gotten Empress Place (EASIEST.......ES ROOM TO GET INTO......EVER) 3 times already, but don't know how to get PW as the ES...

I should be able to get Bitter Chocolate Striker soon (I need to count how many full combos I've done), & I need need to do a few more DJ Taka songs for 不沈艦CANDY.

Deca · 11-03-2009, 12:26 PM

I dunno EXACTLY how to get programmed world but I usually go for at least a level 8 on my first stage, then increase one difficulty on each stage.

So at least 8-9-10. Use Hard for every song and get at least a AA (you might be able to get an A on one and AAA another or something)

I know Hard, 8-9-10, AAs always works.

Regarding Make a Difference, it's definitely a 10. If the ending keeps killing you just ignore the 4s and you'll pass it.

pretty sure its 3 AA's in a row, difficulty doesnt matter i dont think. ive done like 10->9->7 and still got it

I think total difficulty is what matters (minimum of ~10 for the Normal, ~20/25 for the Hyper, and ~30 for the Another if they kept the numbers the same as Time to Air).

zonic505 · 11-03-2009, 02:54 PM

Nah, I got it by getting all AAs (& on Normal). Got it twice in a row.

Just need to complete the rest of the Expert courses for Colorful Cookie (but gonna do 1 each day for pics). Got 1/2 of Gallery done, gonna start on Premium Best to get some pics for Archives & then unlock the 2 songs on there.

Hey, is it just me or does it take longer for the game to save (like a few seconds longer)?

I meant that the total difficulty requirement goes with getting all AAs.

Also, the save is 873 KB, so it'd make sense to take longer to save.

zonic505 · 11-03-2009, 05:08 PM

Oh, OK. Makes sense. Still, it's one of the easiest ES ever.

Well, got all the 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 10th Style pics in Archives, plus the 2 secret songs. All I need left to do on Premium Best is get the rest of the pics in Archives (UGH), plus the BGM for 6th, 7th, & DJ Troopers. On Empress, got 1/2 the pics in Gallery, & just need to get the last 2 lane covers & full combo You'll Say "Now!" for the category voice. Oh, & get Colorful Cookie as the OMES (but that'll be next week, as I want to get the pics from Expert)

Empress Place can't really even be considered an Extra Stage on console, as I still got it even when I intentionally missed the last note on DoLL. Failing the Extra Stage doesn't even give you the credits, so it doesn't give the basic 3 unlocks.
Programmed World is just as easy to get as Time to Air.

For lane covers, if you don't have the one that says Trooper's Journey, you may need every Music Select BGM, not just a completed style in Archives mode (though it may involve a certain amount of archive pics). I'm not sure if it needs a picture in every style, as I don't recall playing a DistorteD song in Premium Best.

zonic505 · 11-03-2009, 07:56 PM

I got Trooper's Journey & I don't have all the Music Select BGM. VJ Army says "complete 1 style in Archives" or something close to that. & I only played the songs in those styles in order to get the pics (3rd, 4th, 5th, & 10th). I went through the songs, used Hazard, & unlocked the pics, then cleared the songs in 4th & 10th to unlock the 2 secret songs.

Ugh, can't pass 7th or 8th Dan....I wonder if I can beat 7th Dan if I can pass You'll Say "Now!" on Hyper...

Same...they said under certain circumstances, it could take 4-5 weeks. Eek.

PA, what gives?

Never doing economy air bubble again that's for sure.
