SEGA and Famitsu have outed and recapped more juicy bits about Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, mostly pertaining to the home screen, song selection, and additional game modules. Let’s take a look at what’s being added!

Home Screen

Communication at Home
Diva X seems to be taking inspiration from the Project Mirai series, and pushing for more player and character interaction. From this menu, you have access to the Area Quest, Events Quest, Gifts, Makeover, Setup, Relationship Status, and photo album.

 

From here, characters will communicate with you to give hints about available live quest events, or if they feel like encouraging you to train harder. You can also “poke” characters here as a form of physical interaction like in previous games but this time the character reactions can be influenced by their relationship status with you, as well as the element of the module they’re currently wearing. Try out different elements to see the different reactions! Continue reading »

Sega has released the next information update for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X! The information this time mainly focuses on the character interactions and friendship level in Home, also known as the new title for DIVA Room in the previous titles.

Friendship level is determined by the player’s interactions in game with the characters. An increase in friendship level can give the players small advantages in quests or eventually unlock new quest(s).

Raising the friendship level can be done with gifts or completing the special gift event, which triggers a dialogue giving away hints for a specific item. Succeeding in giving the correct item will greatly increase the friendship level.


Interactions with the characters can also unlock quests, Event Quest(s), and character-specific Event Quests when a certain condition has been met. Furthermore, the modules’ elements also affect the characters’ dialogues and interactions. For an example, a COOL element module will give a cooler expression.


Below are the lists of the newly announced songs, medley, and modules for the game.

The next update for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X has arrived today! This update involves the Free Play mode, Live Edit mode, and five new songs. We’ll start off with the Free Play mode, also known as the new title for the classic Rhythm Game mode we’re all familiar with.

The Free Play mode behaves similarly to the rhythm game in previous titles, and contains music, stages, modules, and accessories unlocked via the Live Quest mode. There are a few key details to be noted regarding this mode: Module Drop do not occur, Modules’ skills do not apply their effects, Module transformation toggle option is available, and Help & Challenge items are included as part of the feature.


In the Live Edit mode, players are opened to full customization options in creating a rhythm game or a video, including the choices for songs, stages, modules, setting different camera angles, lighting, etc. Please note that the Live Edit mode will come separately as a free DLC available on PlayStation store for PS Vita due to its massive size.

Below are the five new songs and their modules, including the opening theme song by ryo(supercell).

Beginning today, the figure long awaited by Mitchie M fans is here: The Hatsune Miku: Greatest Idol ver. 1/8 scale figure! Standing at 20cm tall, she is modeled after the album art of Mitchie M’s first major Vocaloid album, Greatest Idol.

The jacket cover of sound producer Mitchie M’s album ‘Greatest Idol’ featured an illustration of Hatsune Miku by the famous animator and manga artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. This illustration has now been transformed into a figure for fans to add to their collection!

The intricately sculpted details of her unique instrument as well as her dynamic pose filled with energy are sure to brighten up your day, and if that’s not enough her adorable expression will finish the job!

She is available starting today from Good Smile Company’s online shop for 12,000 Yen ($100 USD), which will also include an A3 size tapestry of the illustration for “Greatest Idol”.  Although you can also find the figure from other online shops (CDJapan and Amiami) for less, but without the bonus tapestry. Preorders from GSC’s shop will remain open until October 1st at 9:00 PM JST, while other shops will stop when limits are reached. The expected shipping time is May 2016.

If you’d like to see more photos, GSC’s Kahotan has shared her review of the figure on her blog! Good Smile Company has also done something unique, and created a promotional video/commercial for the figure. Give it a watch below!
