I guess they are making one half for people new to Project Diva or who have played only F, and another half for people who haven't played Mirai. I'm of the latter kind but I'm interested in both halves since they both appeal to people who haven't played Arcade.

I get the feeling Future Tone is going to be a step up in difficulty which is to be expected.

>SEGA’s quote from the magazine assures fans that the game’s cost will have a “bargain price”.

I wonder if what they mean is a bargain price when taking into consideration the amount of songs compared to previous games and not just "in general" because you could say buying the Song pack for F 2nd was a "bargain price" compared to buying each song for $3 each but still the price of the pack wasn't peanuts.

>>74005

Sega's quote strikes me as trying to calm the waters a little before they announce the price. If they're actively saying it'll be a "bargain", I can't help but feel it'll be anything but that.

>>74006

Them mentioning the price at all without actually saying the price is a red flag already. Given the large amount of content in each half, I could see them making each half close to the price of a full game.

I think there was some rumor about being free as a thank you to the fans but I think it was just a rumor.

If I have to make a guesstimate I expect it to be either $30 each or since it's Japanese only, by their standard of living more towards $40 each. If they want to be cheeky about it and claim "it's a bargain" because they are giving us so many songs they could do $60 each like full games.

What I have in mind when I hear a bargain by my spoiled PC standards is $15 each.

On the bright side, $60 for 120 songs doesn't strike me as being bad at all, especially when compared to the PS3 Diva games.

>>74012

I was thinking something like ~$40 each, so more expensive for the whole package than a regular game, but each half is cheaper. I can't believe anyone would think they would give out a free game, when Miku can make so much money.

>>74014

True. They could easily justify a higher overall price since 220 songs is a lot for a music game like this.

>>74014

See? This is what I mean. You are thinking exactly like a Sega Executive. Either way the price will be for Japanese standards and I think they are used to paying a bit more for games in general?

>since 220 songs is a lot for a music game like this.

Like many wiseguys on /v/ would tell you there are rhythm games that come with 500 and 1000 songs but by Project Diva standards of about ~40 games it really is something. PD games have much more than songs though.

>>74016

>>74017

>of about ~40 games

I mean songs of course. To be exact

PD1: 36 (2 DLC packs though)

PD 2nd: 46

Extend: 36

PD F: 32 + 6 extra

F 2nd: 40 (and 1 Song pack)

It's true 220 songs are a lot but it's almost all repeating ones if you've played all the games. Still probably their licensing fees don't care about us having played them or not.

>>74018

How many songs are new?

>>74019

Can't say really. Do a check on the Songs page on that site I gave for Arcade/Future Tone.

By a quick look there are very few new games, mostly from Mirai if you haven't played those games.
