Yes those packs. But it may just be that you need to go through one playthrough to unlock them (I know some items need that but most DLC shouldn't I think).

Update: I downloaded and didn't install the pack.

EVERYBODY, GOOD NIGHT! I'll be here all week. *facepalm*

Happens to the best of us.

And to be fair the way the PS3 handles downloads is clunky at best when side by side with a 360

Julio C · 2012-08-17, 16:27

I would suggest you download all 10 packs and any new ones from now on. It totals at over 1GB now, but it's worth it.

Is there a benefit if I'm not gonna get any DLC from some of them?

Well some of them have freebies. It also allows you to actually preview the songs and costumes from other players replays before you buy even though it's like 20-30 sec previews. I guess you can call those benefits.

You know it's pretty fun to check out other player's uploads including stuff you don't have yet.

Does anybody know how to upload your own replays? I always want to try it out.

@papermario, if you ever want to add me on your PSN friends list, my PSN tag is omarchafa. I can always help you with any game problems. That goes to anybody else in this thread. Just let me know who you are though.

Dextro · 2012-08-17, 18:53

There's 10 packs now? I guess I'm missing a couple then :O

If anyone wants to add me on PSN the tag is: Dexmastah

Hiroi Sekai · 2012-08-17, 21:22

I'll add y'all, but I'm wondering if I should do so through my English or Japanese account.

Either way, I got the A Cappella ending. I made three girls cry and I feel like a PIECE OF SHI-

I think I did alright, topping the charts once. Next time I'll have some proper equipment to win.

JohnNiles · 2012-08-18, 02:45

Bad end is best end. Seriously, some annoying person shows up in the other endings and ruins the mood.

Great, now I'm tempted to play through again and tank on purpose.

Wait, what? Hitting #1 is generally a good thing. I guess you topped the charts too late for it to matter... but that's pretty late in the game. Maybe I'm misreading.

Well, I just meant that next time I want to win some awards at the end and stuff.

By the way, I suppose we don't know anything about the 2nd part of the DLC sale yet, do we?

@papermario
Still looking for a good faqs for Idolm@ster??
I'm using this site as reference...
http://imas.wikia.com/wiki/The_Idolm@ster_Gameplay_Wiki

Julio C · 2012-08-18, 13:22

I strongly recommend that you print out these:
http://imas.wikia.com/wiki/Japanese_Geography_Quiz
http://imas.wikia.com/wiki/Reporters_(Idolm@ster_2)
http://imas.wikia.com/wiki/Songs_(Idolm@ster_2)

Although you gonna have to winged it for the DLC songs.

It use those frequently whenever I play, cause going to the computer for every little detail is no fun at all.

I would print out most of the stuff from this site as well:
https://sites.google.com/site/imas2strategy/home

Like the promotions and communications for each character. You want to have all of these at your disposal for immediate access. Well that's how I play this game anyway by having everything I need in paper.

Hiroi Sekai · 2012-08-18, 14:04

Thanks for the links, but I've actually got down most of it already. The only thing I'd really need is the geographic layout of the different areas; other stuff like conversation, songs and reporters I've basically memorized. They all follow some kind of simple pattern, and there's honestly not that many of each.

Just reporting that I foolishly played my last playthrough without switching off my Japan account which I never actually use for games as opposed to purchases, so I'm starting anew...but with a fountain of experience and knowledge! My unit this time is Bluebird, featuring Chihaya as leader and Mami & Makoto as members. Currently on Week 14, Unit Level 7, Level 2 Appeal, a well rounded Danketsu and a 47th spot with my first song, Kami Summer!!. I've already got Sugamo's Amulet and am currently demolishing enemies in festivals, so my next song MEGARE! may see even higher results. I may have to take off that amulet for auditions and live shows though.

I'll probably get around to attempting a light-hearted runthrough of parts, since I personally can't stand full Let's Plays and prefer something that has the most noteworthy moments edited together for efficiency. But more on that later, I guess.

Julio C · 2012-08-18, 17:34

Lol, you played on the wrong account. Keep up the pace, you are doing fine. How much money do you have now?

See, I had this feeling that it wouldn't read my DLC under the English account, so I kinda played it on the Japanese one.

As for this playthrough, I've got about 145,000 yen so far. I've been focusing more on promotions and lessons.

Azuma Denton · 2012-08-18, 19:57

1st and 2nd playthrough usually broke your heart though, as it will often get you a bad end...
Try to accumulate the 3 rare amulet suggested by that page (the one that decrease rate reduction), and then off you go...

Asia region also can access Im@s DLC but not directly from game.

*Looks at video*

*Looks at wallet*

*cries*

Julio C · 2012-08-19, 17:09

Base on the previews, I can't decide which one I like better, edeN or Vault That Borderline. The other one was just meh (expected it to be lolish).

Also AmiAmi has all 3 games in one package:
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...-2969&page=top

Apparently their exclusive will give you access to a clear save for all three games which is stupid since that just ruins the fun. At least you get a bag for it.

Hiroi Sekai · 2012-08-19, 18:00

So as my second (technically first on a new account) playthrough comes to an end, I got a D rank (thanks to the hell training I forced to get the trophy), but also managed to get into the #7 song ranking and win the A-1 award itself, resulting in a Good End. Chihaya is just so cute.

Gonna play through it again soon, maybe I'll actually remember to record it this time.
