Also, more store-exclusive preorder bonuses. CD Japan/Neowing's is part of this batch - looks to be a calendar:

Also of interest is Amazon.co.jp's:

I dunno what to make of this. Slightly disappointed, but it's probably a fairly big calendar to put on the wall, not bad. Does the style of the artwork remind anybody of any recent songs? My first thought was daniwellP who did Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya (the song we now associate with Nyancat), but they haven't announced that song or anything.

I don't know if it's recent but it reminds me of Chip Tears. This is the (original) version of the song that most likely would be put in PD if they ever put it in, but I strongly prefer the Tears Remix over the original. (Miku+Trance=*Drools*)
 
Seems I won't be ordering it from CDJapan then, that calender will just bump up the postage cost due to the size. On the subject of bonus items has AmiAmi's one been announced yet?

It shouldn't bump the postage up at all from the shipping price they're currently quoting, and they do a good job of rolling things up safely. I have a few bags full of freebie posters from them in my closet...

Still no word on AmiAmi's bonus.
 
Been a while since I've checked in here, thanks for all the updates starcreator!

Already pre-ordered from neowing so looks like I'll have a calendar! XD
 
How import friendly would the upcoming vita game be.

In terms of region locks, there aren't any for the physical box, the only downside being that DLC will only be available to Japanese PSN accounts. In terms of amount of Japanese you'll have to understand, probably not a great amount since it's a music action game. The most difficulty you'd have I'd imagine would be differentiating between the tracks.
 
I'm seriously debating importing this even though I'd have to play it on my Dad's vita.

I might just wait for the second one though.
 
Will probably import PD f from NCSX or AmiAmi. Totally forgot it existed until I checked NCSX this morning.
 
I think I'm gonna cancel my preorder and go digital download for this one. I really want the preorder bonuses, but having the game in my vita all the time actually beats it. Anyone else going digital?

Tempted, but given how sparse the Vita library is I'll probably opt for physical and maybe double dip at some point in the future. Not too many games coming out that demand I remove this from the cart slot. If I could get points at cost it'd be different, but having to buy point cards at inflated prices makes digital a bit of a non-starter for me.

Sounds good, i've been really interested in importing since it looks like a lot of fun.

If any of you guys need J PSN points to get this game, I can help you no problem :)
 
It's been a killer week at work and I just haven't had the energy to do anything productive with what little time I'm not slaving away, but this is worth noting: the official Project DIVA f website now has a list of all planned retailer bonuses. Not everything has pictures, but we know from this list that AmiAmi's bonus is a "strap".

I'll catch up with all the missed updates hopefully next week.
 
Seems like there were more on the PSP ones...

Project Mirai also had a slightly disappointing song list too.

21 songs in Project Mirai if I remember right. At least here we have the option of DLC to add more whereas in Project Mirai that was not an option. To me, DLC is only bad if it's obviously cut from the main game or if it's overpriced. Otherwise if it's DLC that genuinely adds content to the main game at a fair price then I am definitely ok with it.

True, don't mind paying for DLC if it adds a few more songs. Only issue with Project Diva f is that I use my main, US, account on my Vita and it's a bit of a hassle to switch to my Japanese one solely for DLC.
 
I would hope that there are little to no repeat songs to maximize the new content we get this time around, given how few songs we're apparently getting.

Oh yeah, it was in Extend. I completely forgot that's where it came from, lol.

Definitely agree with that then.

i'm generally confused on how we 'll be able to use old songs ..i have plenty of nice edits that i wish i could import but i still enjoy songs from diva2/extend and i wish that they were importable in some form .

-moon
-the world is mine
-clover club

etc...
 
Anywhere I can still pre-order the Miku vita? x: I don't want to have to wait for ship date to see if Play-Asia happens to have some in stock. D:
 
They won't ship the Vita internationally because Japan Post doesn't allow shipping anything with lithium-ion batteries via air.
This happened with imported products that had the removable battery simply included on the box separately (like in the case of the PSP), but:

Nonmailable Articles in International Mail - Japan Post said:
Hazardous materials - Other hazardous materials

(...) Hydro zinc sulfate, white asbestos, air bag modules, initiators, seatbelt pretensioners, PCB, magnet, lithium batteries (excluding lithium batteries embedded into devices), survival equipment, dry ice.

I'm simply quoting AmiAmi themselves on the matter. I also know from secondhand experience that enforcement of this is inconsistent; an acquaintance had an internationally-bound shipment containing a PS3 turned back because of the Dualshock 3, with no refund of postage.
 
More news, courtesy once again miyuki:

Famitsu furage confirms WORLD'S END UMBRELLA.

New songs confirmed:

- Netge Haijin Sprechchor by Satsuki ga Tenkomori. The module for this song will be FOnewearl Style. (PSO stuff. The stage will have stuffs from PSO2. If I can confirm FOnewearl Style is Viola Magica I'll throw some screenshots in.)

- RemoteCon by JesusP(?).

- NegaPosi*Continues by sasakure.UK

The song used in the AR live is supposedly VocaliodP's 1/6, but not sure if that song's being included.
 
I suppose the battery thing means I'm out of luck for now. x: Think I might just get a regular vita if I don't see any alternatives close to release.
