Dengeki Festival 2013 - April Update VocaloidxPSO2-

[Sizustar]

It first started with the new Chrome Dragon Emergency Quest, while wearing the new outfits for 03/27~ Which should be the same as the story mission.
Then they introduce the new Hotspring Team room feature.
It has two dressing room, one for male, one for female. and both are locked to the other gender, so male can't walk into female...(You don't have to use it to change)
And the other feature is the water slide, which is like the stairs in the Ark lobby.
And the ability to be buried in sands, even in Rappy suit

[/SPOILER-BOX]

And they showed some stuff from the new guide book, but it's not done yet.
And a preview for the April avatar item and theme...
Hatsune Miku stuff will be out in April~ Took them long enough~~

[Gardios]

I wonder if the guys get some stuff as well (Kaito!) or if they get shafted like usual...

[Kondibon]

I like Miku and all, but I'm worried about all the backlash that's going to come from certain people in the English community. ;;

Also yes, Guys need something too. >:

[Sizustar]

I wonder if the guys get some stuff as well (Kaito!) or if they get shafted like usual...

Kaito, or Len or one of the outfits from Project Diva?
Kaito should get a long scarf accessory that people want for a while, HENSHIN HERO~~

[daniel98]

I wonder if the guys get some stuff as well (Kaito!) or if they get shafted like usual...

I agree, I don't know anything about Vocaloid but the guy character costumes are pretty cool too.

[Ce'Nedra]

I wonder how Miku's hair will do on my Fyuria...

[Xaeris]

Eh, come get me when it's Luka's outfit.

[TaigaUC]

Miku da yo~!

Edit: It IS a mag. Awesome. I must have it.

[Enforcer MKV]

...New Cast parts. That don't suck? Please?

[Kondibon]

I don't see what's wrong with having a crossover with something. The Project Diva games are made by sega so this is as much product placement as having sonic themed stuff to me.

Yeah, it's really not that bad. :lol:

[BIG OLAF]

As much as I hate VOCALOID, I'd much rather have a crossover with that than something hilariously goofy like Pizza Hut or KFC....right, PSP series?

I never understood all the hate I've been seeing for vocaloid. I'm no fan either but it's a series of popular voice synthesizers with animu mascots. It seems like a silly thing to waste energy hating.

[daniel98]

Never noticed any "hate" for it... it probably just gets grouped into "another popular Japanese fad that makes no sense to me" like half their games/television/products.

[Kondibon]

I haven't either until recently it seems like a few people have some sort of strong negative reaction to green twintails. I'm more interested in the music people use them for than the mascots though so to be honest the Miku stuff doesn't excite me.

i dont know man
vocaloids are all about that terrible synthesized voice
that sounds like horse shrieks put through autotune
but that just might be

Basically anytime cross-overs with Miku get mentioned (Like when the music game got released. The one with the PSO2 stage and costume?) Spiteful feelings bubble up. I'm like...meh. People want long twin tails and the outfit isn't actually all that bad.

But dammit, I want new cast parts. No, CV parts and all race outfits don't count!

[BIG OLAF]

Well, it's just that these VOCALOID 'fans' go to concerts to watch a computer program preform. I mean, the hologram technology is cool as hell, but these people are there losing their shit over a machine. A machine. Why don't they have the woman that did Miku's voice get on and perform?

I think that's a large issues with culture today. No one 'needs' to be a good singer anymore; there's programs that fix your voice. No one 'needs' to know how play an instrument well anymore; there's programs that make music from scratch. Now, obviously I enjoy techno/electronica/etc., but it seems that it's spilling over to other forms of music a little too much, and people with actual musical talents are very slowly fading out in some ways, and I think VOCALOID directly contributes to that.

But that's just what I think. I don't like it.

[NoiseHERO]

I'd rather have pizza and fried chicken than more moe-fanboy fap material...

But that's just me. D:

[gigawuts]

As a robosexual I find this statement to be highly offensive.

But that's just what I think. I don't like it.Synthesizing music takes about as much talent as writing music for anything else. Just like writing lyrics takes as much effort as writing poetry. Regardless of whether or not the person can play an instrument or sing there's still a talent behind writing music and you shouldn't devalue that just because they use a different medium than is traditional to express it.

That's actually one of the reasons I like Hatsune Miku. A lot of the fans who want to write music but can't sing, or don't know anyone who can, will make songs for her, which in turn get sung by people who can and want to sing.

I don't think you should hate something just because you don't like the fans though. All fandoms have bad parts. That should be painfully obvious, and disliking something for that fact alone really limits what you can like. I agree that there are plenty of people who take the fandom too far, but look at the PSO2 fandom and tell me we're any better.

But that's just what I think. I don't like it.

You have to remember that VOCALOID songs are not just about someone putting lyrics into the computer and a song magically coming out. Getting the voice right is more work than simply singing yourself (imo), and even then the voice is not the only thing the creators do—they also come up with the lyrics, compose the music and frequently also do a music video, all from scratch. It's really not much different from a regular song. Same with concerts: While you don't have an actual person performing, you still have people working on the hologram. Attending a Miku concert is a unique experience just like attending a concert of a "normal" artist is.

I can understand it if people don't like VOCALOID/Miku, but you shouldn't dismiss the work put into the songs just because they don't have a real person singing them.

[Eveningxtar]

Totally Agree what Gardios posted and also really glad to be finally have a chance at getting long twin tails ^^

It's only a matter of time before we get the partner card for Colonel Sanders.

For me I'd prefer Rin's hair but I don't see that happening. >:

[gigawuts]

i want metal sonic cast parts ok

and metal knuckles

and hyper sadow

[Kondibon]

metal sonic cast parts

DUUUUDE I just want the head. That would be hilarious.

[Shirai]

I highly doubt anything outside of the vocaloid characters that appear in project diva will come out. I'd love a Yuzuki Yukari outfit...but that'd most likely NEVER happen ;_;

[Z-0]

Yeah, Yuzuki Yukari is nothing to do with Crypton, and therefore nothing to do with SEGA.

[~Aya~]

Ok so this "Luka" person is a vocaloid. I'm tired of hearing that I look like her/it already. THIS IS MY OWN DESSIIIIGGGNNN. *breathes* Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!


I used up 1 entire premium change ticket to get what I have. I pulled this look out of my own head ; ;...
Then I found this avatar with the color hair/eyes.. but.. no!! Mine!!

...Wait, I don't even like that show. -.-

I don't think there's anything wrong with looking like another character. Though considering I share my first name with a famous actor I do understand the feeling of being tired of it.

[Zyrusticae]

Hating on vocaloid is a terrible thing to do.

There are SO MANY GREAT ARTISTS who use vocaloid to write and produce music when they would otherwise not be able to find a vocalist on their own, and a lot of those tracks are extremely unique in their lyrical content.

Plus it is, in fact, possible to get her to sound like a human being with enough work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXepoYv-HWk

[Enforcer MKV]

Woah, I missed that.

That's...wow, that's really quite good. There are still light hints, but if I didn't know better...I don't think I would know this is synthetic. O.o

[Z-0]

Personally I'd say Mitchie M is probably a better example of showing that Vocaloids can sound very realistic:

But this is probably getting off-topic, lol.

But this is probably getting off-topic, lol.Woah. O_o That's really good.


And getting even more off topic, My ideas for Milla's voice are kinda based off the Vocaloids. This makes me wonder... Will we be getting character voices too? Cause I'd be all over that. Milla needs a voice that sounds more synthetic.

[Sizustar]

Although vocaloid....I kind of want Yukari's outfit.

?Re:package? Hatsune Miku - ? [HQ and Subtitles] - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXepoYv-HWk)

one of the rare few songs made with the Hatsune Miku Software that sounds excellent IMO hopefully this song will be what's used for Miku-chan's appearance in April. this would make for a nice lobby theme with the Cherry Blossom Trees IMO

[Coatl]

In this world there are Hatsune Miku fans and closet Hatsune Miku fans. There is no room for anything else. :B

[BIG OLAF]

I beg to differ.

[Alenoir]

Senbonzakura collabo SEGA, you know you want to. That way a dress for everyone. >.>

On the subject of nicely tuned vocaloid songs, this (http://youtu.be/QNO8_axbs40) must be mentioned. (The original (http://youtu.be/k3ZD0zClECQ).)

Not sure how this will work, although if it's sega, they did publish the project diva game.
But not sure if they have the license to the outfit, or does Crypton only allow them to use the default outfit?
And if using fan designed outfit, do they have to contact the artist first?

[Anatha]

\Why don't they have the woman that did Miku's voice get on and perform?


There isn't one. It's 100% computer generated.

[Para]

To be honest... I can fully understand why Vocaloid being the first crossover after seeing Miku perform on the big screen. SEGA owns the license so its cost effective and good fan service.

I actually miss Miku on the big screen. I sort of enjoyed her randomly popping up on the screen so I can run up close and listen for fun.

[holmwood]

Bring in all the pervs trying to upskirt their mag. :???:


I wish they'd do a negi weapon costume.

[Kondibon]

[Zyrusticae]

Why don't they have the woman that did Miku's voice get on and perform?
She sounds quite a bit different from Miku (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW1b9iwVjb4), however. Miku's voice is noticeably higher and has a slightly different tonality.

Ouch, right in the pride.

Also, Miku is SEGA's money milking machine. Of course they're throwing her up on the stage; money will be thrown on the screens.

[TaigaUC]

Can't help but wonder if they were saving Miku as a last resort to battle waning interest in the game. The impression I was getting from the Nico Douga video comments and 4gamer.net reviews didn't seem very positive.

[Anatha]

Hatsune Miku is not Saki, would be the point being made there.

You'd likely piss a lot of people off going with the idea the person I responded to posted.

[Alenoir]

But not sure if they have the license to the outfit, or does Crypton only allow them to use the default outfit?
And if using fan designed outfit, do they have to contact the artist first?

If it's a fan-designed outfit, SEGA most likely do have to contact and get approval/license from the artists first. I imagine they already have the license to use it though, since the song appears in Project DIVA f/F and everyone got the outfit there (http://miku.sega.jp/info/0524). PSO2 can just reuse those models or something, and since we're getting the cherry blossom lobby for April, this seems kinda likely.

Whats this about, is the game's popularity declining? any info on this?

[Railkune]

Game seems to be doing just fine to me.

[Sizustar]

Whats this about, is the game's popularity declining? any info on this?

He's probabely basing it on the 4gamer ranking, which should be taken with a grain of salt, since last I checked, the PSO2 Vita ranking is low, but it only had 3 gamer review, 2 gave it a high score, 1 gave it a really low score, making the average skewed.

But by sega and mediacreate sale data.
The PSV's price drop and it being the "first" MMO hunting game on the handheld was a success for Sega, as the PSV version had over 90% sale through.

And the short info from Sega(I expect another event to commerate these)
03/10/2013 - Over 2.5 million account created
02/28/2013 is when the Vita version is released, within ten day, over 350k account is created
03/09-23:30- New highest concurrent player login at the same time. 93,141 people.
