project sekai is ok I guess 🤷‍♀️ 

Just to add onto the video: - The gacha and the game is very separate I mentioned this already but I wanted to reiterate it! You can really not care about the gacha or the characters or tributes and just play. Though if you really want to get score without the gacha or score characters, play in multiplayer rooms - The timing windows are actually quite strict at 2 frames (33ish ms) It's generally the game people recommend to practice accuracy, especially coupled with the release timing windows and charting style. - The game isn't THAT complicated But I was just talking about it in terms of a first impression (especially since their tutorial is pretty bad...). I understood how the attributes and upgrade items worked after awhile but it'll take some poking around. And generally if you don't care about gacha you really don't need to bother until you start wanting to pull characters for specific events.

The reason why the English Version is called Hatsune Miku Colorful stage is to avoid any legal troubles with Sekai Project, a US company that localizes Japanese Visual Novels. I get why its called that, but many fans, including me call it Ensekai.

for the story aspect, the main story doesn't really do the characters too much justice. they really shine in the event stories; delving into the characters' histories, secrets, and trauma the best part about project sekai's stories imo is that they're relatable

A little trivia about "popular j-pop" song: they don't just appear because it's popular; they are in project sekai for a reason! -Eve was a vocaloid producer before, and most of his songs have miku version (he recently published his first Eve x Vocaloid album!) -Ado is the vocal, but the main lyrics/composing/arrangements is from vocaloid producer e.g. usseewa is produced by syudou, and odo has DECO*27 as lyricist / Giga and Teddyloid as composer! I think it's worth mentioning, since some of us might be confused why are there jpop songs in so-called "vocaloid game", they won't be there if it wasn't vocaloid-related!

I think what makes project sekai more fun is what it does outside of the rhythm game or gacha aspect of it. The dev (well... The JP devs) is pretty in touch with the community, they constantly comission known Vocaloid artist to draw for project sekai, they comission vocaloid producers (some of which haven't make new songs for quite some while even years) to make the event songs, they held contest that promote new producers in the community and if you win the contest then you'll get your song in the game, they start doing QnAs in their livestreams, they got the in-game units to interact with fans (via Wondashow livestream, More More Jump 3D Idol Liveroom, and Nightcord at 25 Radio), and they also held actual in-game concerts with 3D models and all for the characters. The gacha part is still icky and the fanbase can be... Questionable, a lot of the times but i find it worth it~

I was a BETA tester on the Japanese servers. As a vocaloid fan, Project Sekai is the ideal non-arcade rhythm game for me. I can play it on the go, the game financially supports the community that I love, and the stories revolving around the vocaloid characters I've grown up with are genuinely compelling.

A few things to add just on top of my head: 1: The range of difficulty is INSANE. Even people with no rhythm game experience think easy charts are too easy. And hardest master charts are testing the limits of human capabilities. So there‘s always room for improvement 2. Not only can the note size change, the notes can form patterns, and even spell out words, which makes the chart even more fun 3. The JP server has SO MANY MORE FEATURES. I played a bit on the Chinese server just to understand how the game works, then I moved to JP cuz there are more songs, more live options and generally more variety in the gameplay. Once you played the game for a while, just get JP version and try it out

Tokaku: I'm sorry I really don't like Tsukasa The entire fandom: *Unacceptable* 🧍🔪

the one thing I'm very impressed about Project Sekai is that it has a song contest (in the Japanese version), and there are already success stories where composers got significantly more well-known thanks to their wins (irucaice comes to mine)

when i started playing pjsk i never expected to like the characters and at the start, i didnt, the story starts off really boring but after i read some of the later stories here n there i started to relate to the characters, esp the ones from nightcord fast forward to now and ive sold my soul to the gacha gods

It'll be a while until it comes out on the Global version, but the JP version does have a new 1v1 ranked mode that has scoring based purely on note accuracy so the gacha cards are just cosmetic.

The stories in project sekai are actually quite well written, especially with Nightcord. One of the few gacha games that makes me excited for an event not for the gacha, but the story.

7:35 the Japanese version actually increased the rating from 34 to 36 for the most difficult charts. For disappearance it's 35 now

Hi, so I feel the same way. When I started Project SEKAI, I thought that the stories weren't fun and good and the game felt hard and gacha was rigged to me. But as I kept reading and reading and playing, the stories and gameplay became amazing. It is a little boring and stressful at first, but don't give up on it, it's an outstanding rhythm game with amazing stories and characters. -a chronic Project SEKAI addict

proseka is like the only mobile game whose story actually made me cry. The “main story” is really just a small introduction to each of the units, and the event stories goes much more in depth into the characters and their backstories, as well as just pushing the story forward. Each event story is pretty much the next “chapter” of that event’s unit of focus, so I highly recommend reading a specific unit’s event stories in release order if there’s a unit that stands out to you (kanade is my beloved and I feel a shit ton of emotions in 25’s stories lol)

hey there, i mainly play jp and i just to add more on this video: - this game has 2 other playable versions (taiwanese and korean) and 1 more planned (southeast asia, although unconfirmed when will it come.) southeast asia is excluded from the global version mainly because of the huge timezone gap. they plan to release a different version by the taiwanese publisher. - at the moment, en has 3 songs that are not in jp. so, i would say the developers also cater to english vocaloid songs. - the qol updates in the en version is also delayed for a year. en doesn’t have ap indicators as the time i wrote this comment. - i noticed this minor detail, but jp doesn’t actually *have* event-exclusive missions. that is all from me.

Me seeing a prosekai video and desperately trying not to just send a wonderhoy. Ah shit here we go again

i’ve been playing prsk seriously since january 2022, and it took me 7 whole months to get interested in the story, but now i am OBSESSED and will watch every single live show no matter how late it is in my time zone. its very very friendly to just vocaloid fans, even if you arent interested in the idols. the story mode somehow made rui, who i hated because of his dumb hair, into my favourite character :-/ the power of prsk main story i guess

11:32 spoilers, so basically saki (his sister in leo need) became very ill and needed to be bedreidden, hence he basically built his dreams around her lol

Alright, time to do this. 13:10 - 14:23 There's team composition when you play songs where different characters offer different benefits such as maximizing the score you can get and event points. There's also your total band power which you can get by leveling up specific area items, unlocking card's stories or leveling up the cards master rank. Oh right I forgot to mention that the girls slash band members come in the form of cards which you pull from the gacha and like all gacha games you can't get the card you want depending on the season and what they have going on and is a roll of dice to what you're getting and they're sorted by the typical gacha star rating system of 1 to 4 in rarity and as to be expected the gacha percentages are low for good cards and then you have their own currency which is crystals that you can buy from their cash shop to pull characters or use their gacha tickets to pull characters. And each card has a different skill and the better and rarer cards can have more than one skill. The five skills are scorers, perfect lockers, healers, perfect scorers, and life scorers which all do different things. Life scorers have the highest score boost when maxed, pscorers come second, and then scorers third. Healers and perfect lockers have a lower maxed boost but for healer teams they'll give you more health and you'll be able to last longer in a song so you can enjoy being bad at the game longer but the actual use would be for the cheerful carnival events having at least 1000 hp will give you more event points and perfect lockers will change good and bad notes into perfects for a short duration so you can flex your All Perfect scores without actually being good at the game and there are three things you can train your card in which is card level, skill level, and master rank. You can increase the card's BP and get a mastery point by reading card stories and right, card stories can be read anytime from the card screen but they cost items to read and you'll only be able to read the first one and can only read the second one when you max out the card level which costs even more items. And then when you've read the card stories you'll clear character rank missions and oh right, character missions! They're basically 9 missions you can do that contributes to the exp towards a character's rank which are the leader lives, card duplicates, costumes, stamps, area conversations, skill level, master rank, and side stories. It's a way to show your dedication to a character or a way for you to farm rewards like crystals and stamp exchange tickets or a character fan title whenever you increase your character's rank and if you want to level up a card you can do that by just playing songs normally and the exp gained is affected by how many boost you are using and the other way is to use exp sheets to level them up straight away in the lesson training screen. If you have a 3 or 4 star card you can further train it over their max level limit by another 10 levels and unlock new card art but note when you do this you need to make sure the cards are at their max levels and you have enough attribute gems (and rainbow gems). Ah right I forgot about the upgrade materials, in general in the game you can get item drops when you complete a song and you can get upgrade materials from there to upgrade your cards but you can also buy them in the event shop or cash shop and the other items you can get are area items that also helps increase the power of your cards based on the characters, attributes and units and area items can be upgraded which would require coins and attribute pieces and attribute gems and wish drops and mysterious seeds which are all rewards you can get from finishing songs and completing missions and right, attributes. They're different kinds of attributes cards can have and they're cute, cool, pure, happy and mysterious and they don't affect gameplay except being matched up with items of the same attribute that will boost them. When you have a high enough band power of over 150,000 you can get to enter the veteran room where all the players there have high band power teams too and you get more rewards, and drops when you play there. But if you're not apart of the cool veteran club of people who have spent either way too much money or time getting high band power you can also boost reward drops by playing in the multi live instead of playing solo. I also forgot to talk about events which are stuff that are time sensitive things which is why your game will force restart if the date is different from when you left the game and like every event and story gacha game, you'll be very familiar with this screen where you're always left wondering if you have enough space left on your device but basically events- i was bored and this took me 26 minutes 3 edits: seperated them into paragraphs because now youtube allowed me to see comments a day later and get reccomendations typed in the words tokaku was saying in 14:20 (thanks to @Nimiu btw) corrected very minor spelling errors

I can't wait to grab the battle pass and see you all on the Miku Battle Bus!!!

about the story aspect of the game, i also didnt care about anything story related until i was quite a ways into the game, where i realized that i actually really liked a certain group (vivd bad squad) which made everything much more enjoyable. so yeah, i suggest finding one group you really like and reading their story, and as for the gacha system, its basically the same as all gacha systems, which is to say its pretty shitty but it works

Fun fact if you skipped all the stories from event and main story to get all the tickets you could buy all the songs in the game and still have left over ticket for another 15 to 20 songs ( on JP but I think even for EN there should be way more than enough as well)

Something I want to add about how the gacha and the rhythm game are separate is that even though focusing only on the rhythm game will give you low scores, you will eventually get better teams anyway by doing the bare minimum on the gacha side (just pulling for cards you like with the free gems they give, leveling up your 4* cards with the items you get from playing and by having them on your team) so even if you ignore 90% of the gacha aspect you'll still end up with good teams and get S scores anyway

11:40 Kanade's dad actually forced himself into working too hard an passed out ant lost his memories because that Kanade has a way better intelligence at making music than himself, so he feel depressed becuase of that which forced him self into working too hard

One important tip for new players is that reading the past event stories (in the Story menu) will give you song tickets so with a bit of event farming it’s easy to catch up and unlock all the songs if you start late

I love Nightcord and would do anything for them. I also love how popular songs are available to play. In other rhythm games, there was a lack of that so I love Project Sekai

I would like to add a bit more on this as someone who have sunken into the rabbit hole that is the story and the gacha part of the game in almost 2 years. 1. There are songs in the game that are commissioned for each event that focuses on a single group! Unlike the music shop songs, those are given out for free immediately or by the end of the event depending if it comes with 2dmv or 3dmv (respectively). The songs slaps so hard and the game even managed to pull some vocaloid producers out of hiatus (Toa and Picon are the ones I can think on top of my head). 2. Oh the event bonuses, oh the events. As someone who tiers (getting as much event points as possible to rank high in the leaderboards) on events. it really do be note that the mechanics is a bit more complex now in JP than on EN, here are some differences if you somehow wanna hear prosekai gibberish -master ranks would now give event bonus, this is mostly noticeable on 4 star and bday cards (yes, there are birthday cards, which skill and power-wise, is between 3 and 4 star cards) -event bonus on group focus events does not require specific vocaloids, this actually starts after 1st anniversary soooo- -rate up cards gives more bonus (70%) than just the typical card type+character bonus (50%), this also starts at 1st anniv 3. Another thing to point out is that there is a game mode in JPsekai which basically allows you to do 1v1 with someone called Ranked Match. The Accuracy boosting cards are ignored in here and the game gives you a score based on your accuracy, whoever makes the least mistakes wins 4. Wandahoiii

I came from love live, a game destroyed by money hungry gacha practices, to colorful stage. The gameplay is SO fun. I'm glad you acknowledged just how nice it is. When it comes to gacha... its really easy to get lost in the gameplay and just focus on playing songs & clearing the current event, and then looking up at your gems and being like, oh cool i can do a gacha pull. I love how it isn't forced onto you for this game. If you want to get a high score, you can do multi lives and other peoples teams can help pad out your score with some good old fashioned teamwork. Also I will say I really enjoy the story for Nightcord at 25:00 specifically. It can be a bit edgy but I like how it takes itself seriously and its not just some idol bs. Might just be biased bc I really like K

Been playing for around 3 months and honestly the gacha is super non-invasive and I do prefer it to the alternative of ads everywhere as someone who doesn’t spend. I like that each gacha pull feels worth it since the dupes let you raise other cards and the rate for a 4 star (not a specific character) is good enough that you can get a full team quick and score well. The rhythm game part is really fun and multi lives are very addictive. What sold me on the game was actually the character writing. They all feel pretty multifaceted and unlike some other gacha games, they don’t shy away from unlikeable characters being pullable. Wouldn’t be the rhythm game I would recommend if you don’t like visual novels since it’s pretty much 50/50 (even if you can basically ignore either side).

I only play on JP, cuz global isn’t available to me (I live in Belgium) so I just wanna say some stuff. I don’t understand anything about the story lol, I can’t read Japanese. But yeah the gameplay is very well designed. 7:38 It actually goes up to 36, they changed the rating of some charts as the old ratings were too accurate. They’re still the same charts tho. Trying to explain any gacha card system is wayyyy too hard lol, I don’t really pay much more attention than the card skills. It’s a pretty fun game tho.

I came from Bandori, so I was pretty used to the items and gacha and all that because it's fairly similar in Bandori. I actually think the way Bandori is set up in some aspects is better than Sekai especially at the start because Sekai is a huge grind at the beginning. Of course after falling in love with Roselia, the Bandori group whose main motivation is to surpass the music created by one of the bandmembers' fathers, where part of the group comes off very unlikeable at first because they feel like a newer member is less serious about music and shouldn't be in the group, and where at this point in their story they're all kind of just chilling and being friends, I started playing Sekai and fell in love with VBS. You will never be able to guess why.

you should also give D4DJ Groovy Mix a try, it's basically sound voltex with the slider mechanism

Overall everything that was said makes sense for a first impression, but I personally thought the story bit was fine. I did start playing the game because I saw "Vocaloid rhythm game" and since Project Diva was basically dead, I played this specifically for the songs with no care for the new characters. Though, after reading one group story at a time, I think I had a better appreciation for the characters. Also, gacha is *not at all* necessary to read the story. The main stories can be completed by just playing with the default cards of a character from that group if you really felt like it, and the event stories can be read after the event has already concluded. The only gacha required stories are the side stories, which you won't be missing out on too much by skipping (but they're worth a read if you're invested anyways).

I am glad you got to take a look at this game since I really feel in love with it myself. I tended to avoid Idol games myself but came to this one since I love Vocaloid, I really liked the chunithm like gameplay and when I started reading the stories, I feel in love with the characters and it has become my daily driver game, though it did take me to getting to the event stories for the majority of my love to be found. It really has become this wonderful thing in my life, despite my troublers with gacha games. I wonder if they will ever do a console release of Sekai like they did with Bang Dream.

When it comes to the story, it's good to farm to read all main story of one group, do their key story event stories, and only then start another one and repeat. I read thru everything like this and it's actually really nice when you focus on just one at a time instead of 5 lol

Genuinely the story in this game are very well written!!! I love all the bands, my favorite is niigo and mizuki (obv by pfp haha) also mmj is actually the only group that are idols, the rest just has a tie to music

I play Prosekai simply for the songs and the gameplay, so I like the JP version wayyyy better because it has a lot more songs. Also, had I never played project sekai I never would've gotten into Eve (he is amazing btw) and other amazing Japanese artists. And I also wouldn't be as into Vocaloid as I am now, so I absolutely do not regret getting into Prosekai .

This actually looks kinda fun no lie. Nice review! I can feel the energy with this one :)

I play the game daily, and as someone that doesn't really play gacha games usually, I actually found this one pretty intuitive, but I understand that learning so many mechanics when you just wanna play Bitter Choco Decoration is a huge hassle, so no judgement from me! I agree that the story starts really slowly, but it's definitely really good, I enjoy reading how the characters actually develop, and even though the story is mainly an excuse to get them in new outfits, it's nice to see that what happens during the events actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Overall, I think it's a really good game even though I don't quite like the gacha part of it!

I agree with most points made here, theres only 2 things that I disagree on, mainly because its more of a first impressions review, which are: - I personally feel like the storytelling is pretty neat, Ive finished the main stories for wxs, vbs and 25ji, and I found myself quite invested on the stories and characters, like I even started loving a character that I disliked before reading the story (Rui), so thats something I guess. I also tried unlocking the whole wxs story before reading and actually finished it in one go, which is surprising considering my short attention span. -The other thing is with the scoring being dependant on the gacha, I feel like in this case we as a community dont really care about the score at all? Like you will never see anyone saying like "omg look I got a high score", we only rly care about the accuracy, so its just a thing you eventually get used to. Score only really matters on coop, but coop rewards also only matter if you are interested in the gacha.

Finally, tokaku can feel the wonderhoy spirit that is project sekai

OMGG YAYY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. One of my favorite games in all honesty

This was fun to watch! Personally, I really love idol rhythm games and my favorites are Bandori and Ensemble Stars. I’d like to see you review some more!!

The hold release, as an arcaea,phigros and lanota player, IS DEADLY

i started playing like 2 months ago and it's a pretty fun game, took me a long time to figure out how everything worked because it is pretty confusing since there is no tutorial or anything but overall I enjoy it (apart from the gacha im not trying to get a gambling addiction)

I was the same way; I only knew here and there knowledge about vocaloids but once I started getting into the game more, the story and the characters are really cool. I also like how thumb friendly it is and how you’re not restrained by stamina. New songs are constantly being added (including a Tuyu song soon) and its exciting to play the maps

Wow, thank you so much for this video. I had no idea this game existed, and as a big fan of Bang Dream, I already love it. I don’t care very much about the gacha side, but the gameplay side is so good, and the fact you can fairly easily unlock any song in the game without paying any money is amazing. I skipped through all the hundreds of event stories for the music sheets, and could buy almost 30 songs from the shop before I even played a single song lol. Incredible.

the part when you talked about old charts vs new charts is still sort of noticeable in project sekai, but definitely not as much as in other rythm games. i have an account on both JP and EN servers, and i have to say the newer JP charts are just so fun! so many fun patterns and shapes compared to what EN currently has. but they’re on their way there lol

Don't forget that in the japanese version. there is a ranked 1v1 match where it depends on your accuracy and I would say it's pretty good, they are doing tournaments stuff too in JP

I've been playing this game since the Beta release in JP and have been playing consistently for two years now, so seeing you do a video review on Project Sekai made me happy and nervous at the same time! Only because I know you tend to be critical towards games with Gacha elements implemented into them. But I was very happy, excited even, to see all of your praises and constructive criticisms towards the game. I hope many people see this video of yours and decide to try it out! Thank you for making it!

I can see you were super invested in the story and everything, so much courage

6:59 Sega does what Konadon't

I never played this game but did follow piapro collaboration when the game still on plan (hasn't released yet). Most of Game with Miku in it usually getting the song and the design from piapro, music, illust, and costume design. I'm sure they archived it on old pia official collaboration pages on piapro Dissapeareance of miku and Intense singing usually ranked so hard because it's from cosmoP, producers who create over 200bpm vocaloid musics

I’m so happy you made a video on ProSeka!

I was pleasantly surprised with this review! I play pjsk daily (on all 4 servers) and it was my first rhythm game actually. I was just (if not more) confused as you were in the begining lol

For me who was mainly play idol game I find it was well make in part of rhythm game also story too but the part I like this game most is how SEGA threat vocaloid artist they gave a commission song (I guessed how it call) to draw out their personalities to their song and get the new audience like me but for some artists like TOA it like he was bring back to vocaloid world he come to active again after get commission song for pjsk PS.sorry if my English so bad😅

i love how project sekai notes generally easier to see, compared to bandori i really bad at bandori slides/flicks

im happy you rated pjsekai because i was wondering what you would of though about it before! very intresting video :D

Been waiting for this video!!

Hi, I've been a sekai player for like 3 months now and I wanna share my experience with the gacha. The gacha in this game, while pretty unforgiving in terms of rates, is actually pretty nice. Most cards are basically the same but with different artworks, and you only have to get specific cards for events if you really care about ranking high or idk clearing 100% of the shop. I personally just pick 3-5 characters I like and only roll on their banners (most of them are also from the same band so it's easier to get them), and for teams I just use my best score up characters that I have right now even if they're characters I don't care for. I personally don't like the "cheater cards" (the ones that let you ignore accuracy for a few seconds) but after a lot of frustrating fc attempts where I choked or didn't hit in time because on global my offset is wrong by .5 (I need the more accurate offset sega please 😭) I learned to like them a bit. They're good to get fc on songs you grinded for a long time and know you can fc but just have terrible luck and keep choking and stuff. Even with 5 cheaters in the teams the skills aren't active for most of the game so you can't just fc a song you're bad at. You can play the game without doing gacha, but you'll have a harder time getting rewards from events and won't have access to veteran co-op unless you somehow level up your overworld items thingies so much you get to 150k with only 1 stars (idk if that's even possible tbh, probably some veterans can do it idk)

thanks for the interesting and comprehensive video on the technical rhythm part of the game. personally I may consider sometimes the tolerant hitbox (more than 1 lane wider than the note size) confusing when it comes to touching/overlapping notes (at the same time) or short trills (1 lane long at the middle) as sometimes they may make an unexpected note correspondence which leads to misses (bandori usually keeps a "safe distance" between notes to prevent that) though that's what they are using to create special patterns. (may be decouraging but not too bad as infinite retries are allowed) flick notes: I saw from somewhere that they are judged by frame moving distance (instantaneous speed in short), so sometimes weird misses may occur. Also that no judgment is carried out outside the 12 lanes may affect flick experience (as the hitbox indicates it can be wider) slide notes adapt a similarly strict timing window and do continuous judgments (just like osu sliders) so even with that wider hitbox it may be difficult to catch up accurately when it comes to large movements (also not to go outside the 12 lanes) (though it can be easier as it supports multiple fingers on a single slider) (cheesing all perfect with plocks may not be that easy as the coverage is fixed (just like bandori) and not by time interval) btw. I have not done any gacha (as it is not forced by tutorial) even after 120 master full combos (before Lv 60) as I only believe in guaranteed 4*. 100k+ jewels as of now so it seems not too difficult to gain the first 90k jewels (300 pulls) without an S score (just merely a B score) to begin with (just like bandori, a shared score reward but separated combo reward, so it looks more focused on the rhythm game part) (but unlike bandori, multiplayer score rank is still separated from one own's score rank)

really good video! also imo the entire backbone of this game is vocaloid (or vocal synth in general), the people they commission or collab with for everything have some form of relation to the vocaloid community, be it artist or producer etc. most people join for the vocaloid stuff and then they see if they like the human characters or not. i've been playing since day 1 (on JP) as an avid vocaloid fan and i've honestly still read incredibly little about the characters, i just play the rhythm game because its vocaloid songs and the charting is generally really good. i dont really feel forced to gacha because its a lost cause lmao

Really appreciate the subtitles in the video! Just wanted to point that out!

5:48 The reason pjsk plays so similarly to Chunithm is at least partially because the charts are made with a charting engine made originally for a Chunithm simulator

pjsekai is the only idol game where i liked the beatmaps, characters, story and card visuals all together

I love how you used my favorite song in the game to represent flick notes. (BRING IT ON just has an amazing vibe lol)

I’ve been playing Project Sakai for a few months at this point, and I agree with a lot of the things you said. The gameplay is really fun (and actually protect sekai was my first impression of rhythm games!) and the music has (surprisingly) grown on me, but I have no idea what the heck is going on in the actual storyline/ gacha part of the game

what I loved about project sekai is that it's easy to play. I'm a first timer in rhythm games, but I was able to play expert just by playing a ton in a few months. the chart really matched the song itself. love that.

Technically only one of the five groups is an idol group lol, but I can see how the game can give people that impression. Take out all the stereotypical gacha game factor (and/or anything Miku related, if you're worried about that) and you get a fairly decent rhythm game.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE❤❤❤

As a visual person, and a rythm game fanatic, I really struggle with these games (a lot), but proseka was one of those games (for me) that, even without the sound, you can FC songs, I don't actually know what the developers did differently to achieve this but thanks to that the game is really fun. The only thing that I didn't like aside from the gacha (which I skipped bc meh) was the fact that you had to play with specific members to unlock their group story, but to solve that I just watched the story on youtube.

13:00. So it's almost the same as Bandori. Gotcha. I'm getting bored playing Bandori and I want to switch to Project Sekai since there's a lot of songs, and some of my favorites are there as well. So I'm switching over. Guess I'm officially a Project Sekai player after this.

i wanted to play a vocaliod rhythy game on the go so i first tried emulating psp and tried to play project diva. it kinda lagged, and also because i sucked at touch controls i needed to bring a stand, otg cable, mini usb cable and my dualshock 3 which wasn't really portable and kinda weird to take to school. and then i found about this game. the game was good but on my not good phone it lagged so hard i ended up buying a psp instead. nowadays i sometimes play it on my ipad but half of the screen is not visible because it's broken so i need to move the game to the functional part with jailbreak tweaks which isn't that ideal. which is kind of a shame since there were some songs that i really liked.

I’m someone who tries a lot of “idol” type games but I have trouble sticking with them for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I’ve been able to stick with project sekai though because the actual rhythm gameplay is so great. It feels so much more responsive than other mobile rhythm games I’ve played, I love that you can unlock songs at will, and the charting and use of flick notes is really great and doesn’t feel as clunky as some other idol games *cough* Bandori *cough*. Honestly it’s a really great game and I’d definitely encourage you to keep playing, it really grew on me.

I started playing Project Sekai awhile ago and I’m a pretty casual player. Gameplay was a bit difficult at first because of the whole Good = Combo Lost thing, but I adapted. I haven’t read any of the event stories but the character’s personalities, interactions, design, and motivations really grew on me. It’s fun learning about these characters and it kinda just makes you wonder “Why?” Like once you start thinking about the small tidbits of info, it just makes you curious. At least, that’s how it is for me.

I cringed everytime you called the whole characters idols cuz the only unit whos idol focused is more more jump 😭

Idk if it's just me but flicks work only when they want to work, it could be because of that tap+flick mechanic but it's really annoying

15:08 im not sure if it was different 10 months ago, but if you hold down on the item icon(rather than tapping) a brief description of the item's usage and where to get it pops up(notably a little vague ie "can be obtained from shows"). found that out on accident when i was tapping on the item, so it is a little confusing.

An idol game I think you should try, which is quite similar to Proseka, is Ensemble stars :D Personally, it was a coping method for me after not being able to get Proseka, but then I got really into it. The English release came out a few months ago (and can actually be accessed in sea region thank god ;v;) It focuses on male idols, and the story is actually surprisingly dark at times, which is one of the reasons I love it! (stuff like cults, cannibalism, abuse, fun all around :)) I can't give a good review of the rhythm gaming since I'm no professional, but all songs can be accessed from the start! (and no timed holds woop)

Honestly, the only reason I pay attention to the fluff about cards, skills, etc. is to get crystals. Levelling up cards and "reading" the stories are pretty much the only way to get some crystals consistently as a f2p (aside from event rewards and clearing a new song)

So much damn information 🤯

Great review. I was wondering if you played Sekai. But you missed the best part: the live concerts, and taking screenshots of them to put as your wallpaper

finally, tokaku pops up on my rec right as i started to realize i forgot her yt user and wanted to find her

SEA REGION CAN FINALLY PLAY PROJECT SEKAI OWO

For how I see this game, it’s pretty good for me. I don’t care about the gacha nor the fact you don’t get a higher rank after playing, I just play for the rhythm game itself. And, well, the charts are pretty good in my opinion, they’ve made me better at reading notes in the game, and as well as some other rhythm games. Overall, the rhythm game side of this game is pretty good. Also, thanks for the flick note fact.

1:10 korean and taiwan versions of the game exist. TW is around the same as EN event wise i think and kr is behind, but got their first lim gacha! I recommend playing KR sekai for the beginning rewards

im surprised you didn't mention the rank match system (only 1v1) thats currently only in japan ver, it's solely based on skill (no involvement of characters, it uses a point system) so it's actually really fun! Additionally, the rank match system is gonna be added to the global version soon so that's cool

also mashed potatoes

calling all the groups "idol groups" feels wrong because the only idol group is more more jump, An's dad is NOT an idol, he's a street performer, all the groups have their different musical styles and performing types, its an "idol game" without the "idol focus"

Sekai is probably my favorite rhythm game rn, but ur def right about how..vonfusing it is. Ive had to look up tutorials and ask things on reddit a multitude of times. Once u understand everything its fairly straightforwars, but its so daunting if ur new.

Those headphones looks pretty, I'm not usually into In-ear stuff but I might get a pair!

Crinicle huhdhfjfkd. His meaurements are very usefull what can I say.

I am begging you to review Idolish7- it’s story first gacha second and boy is the storytelling S++

My favorite aspect of the gameplay is how forgiving it is with button presses. That and I don’t have to worry about pressing the right button. Def a fav rhythm game of mine.

started playing for the vocaloid songs and gameplay, stayed for the vocaloid producer collabs, actually interesting stories (I just started reading them on my daily commute and then one day I found myself sobbing on the train over the story), nice vocals, and of course, the vocaloid songs and gameplay This game literally only gets better the more I play it

it does really annoy me that you basically only get a c rank unless you have a full team of max level 5 star characters, which would definitely cost money to roll in the gacha, but i figure it's not really a big deal so i just play the songs anyway usually i skip the story stuff to get the song tickets though cause i'm not really into idol stuff either, miku is just the exception for me

17:02 bffr 😁

ive only started playing prsk last week but honestly its a great game (maps are fun, most maps are thumb friendly, etc) personally for me, i love the characters and i like the story so that probably adds to the experience. the gacha isnt that bad compared to other gachas and i quickly got ahold of the card leveling system even if i was confused in the beginning. but yea, i think its a good game overall, def would recommend

Around 7:00 the new hardest song added after this video came out is the actual hardest one imported from the JP version. Machine Gun Poem Doll, and it was designed specifically to be the hardest song.
