Since this one has all the songs from the original is there any reason to keep the first game (e.g. gameplay differences, characters, etc.)?
Yup. I'm not a FF fan. I've only enjoyed Crisis Core and Tactics. I love me some rhythm games though.
How does street pass work?

The thing about thearythm and Dissidia is that they make me want to replay final fantasy games again...but just the best parts.

I'm pretty good so far with Expert but Ultimate is insane!
I'm not fast enough. Doesn't help I have very limited musical ability and naturally born with no rhythm!
Yes, I can't dance!

It follows the same rarity as cards (N, R, P). P maps generally give better boss rewards and boss item drops.
I'm just leveling as I do maps. When I decide on the four characters I want for my main BMS team, I plan on using Exp UP scrolls on them to make grinding and resetting them much easier. There are also one time use items that give 2x and 6x exp I believe. If someone found a way to farm the 6x exp item, it would be really easy to level. Combine the 6x item, Exp UP abilities, and up to 2x exp from long maps and you have yourself a grinding session.
For someone who enjoyed the music part of the first game without delving too much into other stuff, why would one grind a reset?
In fact any and all advice with the RPG side of this game would be greatly appreciated. It does a pretty poor job explaining things.

The Somnus DLC is the only notable difference between the two at the moment, and I wouldn't be surprised if that became DLC for Curtain Call eventually.
Every time you reset a character back to level 1, the character gains 10 CP (up to a max of 99). Since you can normally only have 50 CP at level 99, you'd have to reset 10 times in order to hit the cap of 99 CP (CP increase per reset decreases). Having 99 CP gives your character a lot more flexibility in equipping abilities, especially since a lot of abilities can be learned through the usage of item scrolls.
So this is embarrassing -- I created an Indies Zero thread and linked it here, but the link was a bad one! The real deal is right here and I think it's worth discussing just how far these guys have come in such a short time!
Please, the thread is just lonely and sad right now
I think you need to do a quest medley first. You also have to beat the AI in versus at least once before you unlock multiplayer versus.

I think you press Start when you're in the one-off song play mode. At least that's what the icon which says "Start" on it looks like to me (a list).
Thank you very much.~

There's an option to buy DLC on the title screen when you pick your save file. You need to play an hour-ish to unlock it though.
Yes.
I see, thanks.
Thanks!
You just gotta get in position!
Like I said, they only matter when you're trying to beat bosses for items and cards. You could easily "clear" the Chaos map without beating the last boss/getting the items.
What do you mean by this? Those DLC songs will stop working after the 30th? Or they will just stop being free for people who didn't already downloaded them? I was going to wait a few months before buying this game (haven't put too much time on the first one), but if I can keep those songs forever for free I may grab it now instead.

I'll be picking this up from the post office this evening. Any tips for the first hours of the game on what to do?
Crank the volume, pick your favourite tracks and try to play enough to be able to access DLC and get those two free tracks post-haste. The FFV one in particular is a must.
perfect free

I need to stop playing so I can do things like, I don't know, eat. The "just one more level" feeling is off the charts for this game. So much to play and collect!
Actually, you fail the quest if you don't beat the last boss, so the map would not be cleared.
With the first game being my fav 3DS game, I'm loving this already.
Quick question, though:
IIRC, the first game had a "speical way" of getting 9999999 and SSS ranks for each song. Basically something like you couldn't have anything equipped and you had to "all-critical" the enitre song.
In my first playthrough of a few songs, I completed them with "all-critical" and still go SSS even with spells and items equipped.
Did they do away with this from the first game? One of my favorite things from the first game was discovering this part and basically getting to re-challenge myself on each song.
Is there an equivalent to this in the second game? Do we know yet?

Oh that's good! I'm buying the game now then. Guess there's no point in continuing to play the old one when this has so much new content.

The quality of the music is pretty much undeniable, even without nostalgia being a factor.

Whoa, those rotating arrow notes came out of no where in Quest Medley.
They got rid of it from the first game. They also made it so you can get SSS even without an all critical score. I'm glad it's gone since you can now farm exp/items more efficiently while still aiming for a top score.
Nope. I tried & D-Pad can't be used during gameplay.
yeah. Someone mentioned them being in the first one but I never encountered them.
If you're aiming for trophies, you may save some time by just randomly finding the songs in quest medley. Your scores in quest medley are recorded as if you were doing it in stage select, so there really is no reason to just play random songs through quest medley.
I don't remember them in the first game at all... o.o, is this true?
They were only in very high level Dark Notes. I think you needed an average party level of 90+ to find them.
*cries*
Ouch.
I All Criticaled that song in the first game on Expert. Its Ultimate version is bloody hard.
