WELCOME TO WEEK #4 OF THE NEOGAF TFF:CC COMMUNITY CHALLENGE
• YOU MUST SUBMIT A SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR SCORE. Example: HERE or HERE
• All four stages will be on the Ultimate score difficulty.
• Score must have been achieved during the competition week.
• In the event of a score tie, the winner will be determined by most Criticals.
• Next week's stages will be determined by last week’s winner on that stage.
• If there are multiple winners (All-Critical) then the user who submitted their score first will determine next week’s song.
• Winners are encouraged to type a short write-up of why they choose that particular song. It can be something related to a memory you have of that song or the game in which the song is featured!
This Week's Challenge (2/19 - 2/26)
• YOU MUST SUBMIT A SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR SCORE. Example: HERE or HERE
• All four stages will be on the Ultimate score difficulty.
• Score must have been achieved during the competition week.
Obviously this is done on an HONOR system, in the spirit of fun competition, do not submit "old" high scores.
• Next week's stages will be determined by last week’s winner on that stage.
BMS winner will determine next BMS stage. DLC BMS winner will determine next DLC BMS stage, etc.
However, if the same user wins songs A & B, they will chose either A or B, and the second place finisher will chose the other.
• Winners are encouraged to type a short write-up of why they choose that particular song. It can be something related to a memory you have of that song or the game in which the song is featured!

I'm fine with it if other people want too. If that's the case I know what song I'm choosing.
I'm at work right now, I'll check out the new DLC music when I get home to see if I want to pick any of it; Frogs Theme seems an easy/obvious pick, but not sure how others feel about DLC or if they have strong DLC choices already. My first pick would probably be a non-DLC track followed by a previous DLC track. So if the other BMS winner wants to go DLC I'm good with that.
Edit: Heropon if you want to pick the DLC track go for it! I've got my pick in that case, that works out.
Then it's decided. Time to write something!

It will probably be the Jpaanese version of real emotion, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B71Eolr7Zok (but worth keeping a link to the English version as it is interesting comparison)
As 1000 Words and many other songs were the Japanese version.
Random protip: The "perfect chain all song in *difficulty*" trophies require the perfect chain to be the current high score. At least when I perfect chained one winged angel I noted down I had got the perfect chain but failed to beat the current high score and low and behold I didn't get the trophy until I went and sorted that out.
Edit: On the records screen 150 hours is not enough for the sparkling star rank :O

Song of the Ancients/ Devola 2:31 (OST 3:07)
Kainé/Salvation 1:37 (OST 3:03)
Calling and Echoes of the Sprial are both over 3 minutes so I'm not sure if it cut songs or just stopping at one loop instead of two or something (I'm not familiar with the source material).
Damn, 3 minutes isn't that long. I wonder why they feel the need to cut them. I bet Shadowlord will be completely butchered.
Oh well, at least we're getting the songs at all. I never expected them to dig deep enough to get to Nier songs.

Oh my god, what a lineup. Square Enix is just killing it with the DLC, even if they inexplicably haven't covered any Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, or Brave Fencer Musashi songs yet. Chrono Cross especially!
I still really hope they eventually add "Battle 3" from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest to complete the trifecta of amazing battle themes from that game. More Final Fantasy XIII-2 music would be awesome too, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

NEW COMPETITION POST IS UP!
I am psyched about Bravely Default: He of the Name. That is my favorite song in the entire game! I broke 9 million once, I didn't think I'd ever be able to do it again. It will be my goal this week to try and beat my old high score!

Picked up Frog's theme and Vamo' alla flamenco today.
So many good tracks! But SE keeps leaving out Chrono Cross... >:|

100% likely, yeah.
Hills of Radiant Winds as a BMS? VERY interesting choice (I would have expected it to be a FMS)! But yay at two Nier BMS tracks! Also, HELL YES for Assault and Apoplexy, and about, er, time for Corridors of Time.

Also FIRST
F YOU.
Seriously I've played this song more than 20 times and only have a high score of 9,1XX,XXX
I'm amazed by you. You're awesome, incredible, and I wish I had your skills. Great job!
My runner-up/DLC BMS pick actually would have been The Serpent That Devours the Horizon, but all of the Bravely Default tracks are pretty baller.
As far as I know, the tricky thing about Chrono Cross is that Mitsuda composed the OST as a freelance after leaving Square, and they don't hold the rights for it.
Not sure if this would create any real problems but I assume it would at least mean more hassle for them to use the music compared to Chrono Trigger or Xenogears.

Anyone crazy enough to do 999+ unique songs?!
As a lot of us know, the game saves most of the data onto the SD card. This means that if you play your file on a different 3DS it will be missing certain parts of the file. These include your Proficards, your quests and your scores for the Music Stages.
However! Your file becomes some crazy hybrid file where even though these stats are missing... you still have all your trophies, Rhythmia, characters and their levels, collectacards and even which songs you've favourited are remembered.
But what does this mean? Well it means that your stats will be stacked on the multiple files. For example if someone in your house has their own 3DS then they can play your file and have their own scores and own quests but also help you with collecting trophies and filling stars in your stats pages.
Interestingly something else also stacks... the number of songs you've done. Here is a picture:
http://i.imgur.com/EQDbTVV.jpg
As you can see, although I've got a total of 247 songs available to me, I've done 253. This is because I just played on my brothers 3DS and done the daily songs on his file. Yepp, these stack too.
My question is... anyone crazy enough to make these all 999? Without buying multiple DLC for each game... at 221 songs per game you will need 3 extra 3DS consoles and to beat all songs on every difficulty on every 3DS. You could even get a 4th 3DS and therefore not have to do the EMS for every console to get 999. I'm... tempted (I have access to that many). Maybe I'll just do the songs of the day on my brothers 3DS for now.
My second question is... is 999 the limit? While it looks like it would be due to the space on the proficard, what about here?
http://i.imgur.com/omKCkXX.jpg
It looks to me like it can fit at least two more digits. 99999 songs cleared? You would need over 450 3DS consoles
P.S I love this game.

Finally real Emotion. I'm going to buy that song and I'm going to love it, no matter if it's Kumi or Jade's version.
I just upgraded from my old 3DS to a N3DS XL and CC is making a big fuss
Anyone's got experience with that?
I bought the game off the eShop. Backed my SD data onto my computer.
Did the 3DS -> N3DS data transfer.
Moved the data from my computer to the micro SD.
On starting Curtain Call, the game asks me to create a new profile

Correct.

Should be important to note, though, that even freelance, the composer holding the rights isn't usually the norm as far as game dev goes, unless dealing with the pop/mainstream industry.

Man that's shit that the NieR songs are cut =/
Oh well, hope they keep adding more. About 15 more songs from NieR I'd love to see added.

They really don't feel cut to me. Actually, almost all of this week's DLC songs feel like a decent/accurate length.
Kainé/Salvation is pretty much half a song. :/
And don't play He Of The Name when you are totally tired, that's just a painful experience. But fun chart to play.
On another note, I once mentioned my problems with down-right arrows on the nub and how I thought it's because of damaged hardware. Turns out it's more of a software and input recognition thing, since on my N3DS, it still randomly drops those, even if I make sure to hit them in a correct way. Sucks. Hopefully they ditch diagonal arrows in the next game completely. And get some kind of perfromance mode in there without all the effects that range from distracting to hurting my eyes.

Awesome, that's good at least. Time to buy some Nintendo Credit.
The second half of the song is barely different from the first, if I remember correctly. Then again, I AM worried about SE cutting any part of Shadowlord.
Another song that's REALLY fun to play when tired is Ultimate Sacrifice Part Three. It's not Force Your Way levels of difficult, but it's long and challenging (over 600 notes!) from beginning to end. Still, it's fun to play.
