You need to change your PS4 display settings to remove those black boarders. It's under sound and screen-->display area settings

Yup, that solved it. Should've tried that first I guess, sorry! Wonder why it only affected this game, rather than all my others. Cheers for the assist!

 

[miku]

You have my thanks!

Tried this and it disconnects my DIVA F Controller, which then requires a system restart in order for the console to recognise it again. I think in trying to get my Brook Adapter working to update, I paired it up with my DS4, which then kicks off the connection to the Arcade controller. I'll have to look into clearing the connections to see if that fixes it...

Hope there are ways to fix it!

Because this game is special

 

[StarCreator]

In lieu of being able to take screenshots in game (lol no Share button)

If you're using a Brook, apparently Share is mapped to pressing Start+Select.

Is there a mapping for the Option button?

Played a bit tonight and I'm pretty pleased with some scores I got:

Also, some PV screenshots just cause

 

[Mandelbo]

Feh, you people and your extremes - I'm still going through trying to get excellents on all the hard mode songs. I'm gonna get a perfect on Common World Domination sooner or later!

Also, does anyone have any tips for hitting triple notes? I find it funny that quad notes are far easier than doubles or triples, but triples mess me up every time I come across one.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

What are the chances of thus getting a EU release?

 

[Mendax]

I think not high. But the prelude is free, just download it and see if you can manage (only thing you might need to look up is how to navigate the menus).

i can only say for hard, as there are only two patterns of triples in hard
1) Triangle,square, X
2) Square, O, X
If one appears on the left, it is always 1)
If its on right, it is always 2)

so i bind some doubles on L2, R2 for them, and quads i hit both L2 R2

some other members here bind the 4 buttons on L1, L2, R1, R2 too

extremes can have other patterns tho

I was able to purchase Colorful Tone, aiming to get Future Sound later in the month. I've been out of the Diva game for a while so I'm a bit rusty. I'm going back to the basics and starting with all perfects on easy. (Completionist syndrome)

Normal has some patterns during Challenge Mode that are worthy of the PSP/F series' hard mode. Practice mode is a blessing.

Question: Right Now the title screen says "Colorful Tone". Does this mean when I get Future Sound I'll have to switch between two different title screens everytime I want to play a song from the other pack?

Happy to see some other completionist here =)
i also just finished perfect all easy, normal and hard (except 4 songs)

My title screen is always Future Tone.

 

[StarCreator]

Option should just be Start.

The title screen has four configurable states (which are also limited by the packs you have installed, of course):

Prelude (if no packs are installed)
Future Sound
Colorful Tone
Future Tone (the default if both packs are installed)

It's purely cosmetic.

That makes sense. I also just realized that, they used Future for the first word of the FS pack, and Tone for the second word of the CT pack.

I'm very upset that they fixed the Engrish that was in Urbandonment's video in Project Diva F

 

[jetsetnickradio]

Haha, they should have changed it to "You have no mail." It's both grammatically correct and still sounds way more depressing than simply "No mail."

 

[StarCreator]

I'm very upset that they fixed the Engrish that was in Urbandonment's video in Project Diva F

Did they fix Kokoro's end scroll also?

 

[Toadsili T]

SEGA does have a bit of a history when it comes to fixing stupid mistakes in Project DIVA PVs. I for one will never forget the hilarious microphone bug in the original Colourful x Melody PV.

EDIT: Holy... I just checked the PV in Future Tone, and they never bothered to fix it! They only fixed it for F2nd... hahahaha

If you're using a Brook, apparently Share is mapped to pressing Start+Select.

You, sir, are a legend; this works perfectly! There's a bit of a delay after pressing the two together, but it works. I'll try to take scores via this method from now on

EDIT 2:

Did they fix Kokoro's end scroll also?

Nope! Just checked it; still full of broken Engrish! Enjoy.

 

[rpmurphy]

Option should just be Start.

Ah, thanks. It was just my controller, one of the wires had broken off from the solder.

 

[ErichWK]

any way to get the OST?

 

[StarCreator]

any way to get the OST?

There isn't a single OST mainly due to this being a songlist that was built up over a 7 year period. I believe a few CDs covering the songs that premiered in Arcade have been released now and again, but for the rest you probably have to go for the mainline Project DIVA soundtracks, artist albums, or the EXIT TUNES feat. Vocalo____ compilations.

 

[Toadsili T]

any way to get the OST?

As far as a complete OST in a single package goes, no. However, there have been multiple OST releases for most of the Project DIVA entries over the years, including songs unique to Arcade, that should cover most of the bases for Future Tone. Be warned that there will be some song overlap over many/all of these releases.

EDIT: To be clear, there should be store page links in these wiki page entries, although CDJapan will be your best bet for most of these.

Arcade Unique Songs (Most of these are in Colourful Tone)
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
Project Mirai

Project DIVA games (Most of these are in Future Sound)
DIVA 1st
DIVA 2nd
DIVA Extend
DIVA f/F

EDIT 2: I forgot to mention, as StarCreator said, you may also need to rely on artist album releases to fill any remaining gaps. The jacket art that shows up in the songlist menu is often (but not always) the actual CD from which the song originates, so you can use this as a rough guide to build up a complete OST list.

 

[Bebpo]

One addition I'd like for them to add is a way to sort songs by producer since if I like a song by a producer I'll probably like their other stuff as well.

But in general the UI options are pretty fantastic so it's not even a complaint, just something that'd be a neat addition.

 

[SephLuis]

Yesterday I beat Jugemu Sequencer with 71% on Extreme.

I am damn proud of that because the song is screwing with you in it's lyrics. Still a very fun song to play and listen.

I am starting to get close to beat 9* difficulty. Close like 68%-69% T.T

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. And yeah, the usability enhancements in this are so nice. Practice mode in this game is exactly what I ever wanted in a rhythm game.

 

[KharmaPolice]

Is there a way to see if an extreme song has an Extra Extreme chart? Clicking right on song that doesn't have an Extra Extreme chart automatically brings you to the top of the song list which is really annoying.

I don't think there's a way in game (which is dumb, I agree) but the song list on the official website lists it.

 

[macklelol]

I think you can check on the leaderboards lol

- Packaged
- ハト (Hato) | Pigeon

[Mandelbo]

Kinda wish AgeAge Again was in this - it's the only non-GUMI song from Mirai DX that I'm missing right now. It feels weird not having the main theme from Mirai 2 in a song pack focusing on songs from the Mirai series!

As well as Extreme and Extra Extreme, they don't have Normal charts because Diva 1 only had 3 difficulty levels.

If there's DLC for the game, Age Age Again is very likely, since it was added to the arcade version a few months ago.

2 songs, 1/6 Out of the Gravity & Weekender Girl.

 

[Intel_89]

That's great, I'll give it a spin tonight. Thanks for the info.

 

[Bebpo]

Going back to Diva X is so weird coming from this. I don't get the the Diva series strayed such a different path than the arcade game in note arrangements. Also I lost my save and started over in Diva X while on a plane and not having hard unlocked from the start is pretty sucky.

I was baffled at what I was looking at when I went back to X. This is what I was playing less than 2 months ago?

Speaking of X, cool medley does not do Palette justice. That song is awesome on it's own.

If we get the new FT songs as DLC, I'm personally looking forward to "Shake It!". One of my favorite songs, and the PV for it is absolutely gorgeous.

Did Sega said something about Future Tone getting DLC songs? I truly hope so because I'm almost convincing myself to purchase Diva X HD just for the Cute Medley and Ai Dee.

Future Tone needs more Mitchie M goodness. ;-;

 

[SephLuis]

Does otetsu has more songs in the arcade version ?

I would kill to play this music on the game:

I've found that I play a lot better with the Hit Noises at like, 40. I used to run them at 100, but it finally got to me after so long. Turning them off entirely is impossible though, kudos to anyone who can play with it like so haha.

I play with the sounds turned off on any set-up with lag. Don't need one more way to offset the button pressing feel.

 

[macklelol]

I can't handle the hit sounds if they're too loud, mine are set to 4 in this game (music volume is at 7).

Anyways, I finally beat saihate, this damn song is too hard.

Also beat Sadistic Music Factory (barely).

My 2nd perfect on Extreme:

still got like 70 songs to clear on Hard though lol

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Does anyone else find it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to do the multi-notes where one of them is a hold is the other isn't, and then lift the right finger off and leave the right finger on? I can do triple notes, I can do onslaughts of multi's, but for some reason this just straight breaks my brain.

Haha yeah but it is not always necessary if you want to get MAX HOLD.

Some tweets regarding Future Tone (interpreted via Twitter's internal translation thingy):

The second update will address timing and volume balance issues.

The third update will implement continuous PV playback among other features.

Good to know they're working on the timing issues, right now I am actively avoiding all Diva F songs.

That's great - tried Freely Tomorrow and I couldn't deal with the timing offset.
