This is the worst anniversary ever.

>>2238222
Still quitting. Unless there's like 4 tickets to pick what I want from >>2238224

The thing that really bothers me is the fucking gacha. How is it I still see fucking initial base cards in year 6.

>>2238224
come on bro don't say it's the worst, they really went out of their comfort zone with those picks

>>2238222
>almost 24 hours without a thread
what happened to my sisters...

>>2238226
That's one of the two(!?) simultaneous DfYs they're going to be running, not a banner. >>2238224 is for a paired voice drama, assuming it's supposed to be shipping-bait except for the random NeoLumi + HaruKoko.

I hope PM wins or dogpoo does what needs to be done, because putting Neo and Kyoko in the same DfY on opposite sides is a warcrime and donuts basically telling me they don't want enough money to save their shitty dying project.

>>2238228

2 dfys at the same time plus all the lim banners one right after another. Donuts must be really strapped for cash.

>>2238246
>Haruna NTR endgame
based donuts. I kneel

Personal highlights:
customized profiles: finally I can make use of all those useless cosmetics. bonus point for 4 sizes of card art.
More outside songs: Tanda Hazuki is adding her solo artist songs to the game. Tsubaki/Rihonyan may be getting something too. Plus other franchises.
Nyochio v2: finally. The new version has a butthole to differentiate it from the Bushiroad version. Pretty funny the Bushiroad versions on set had so much dust it gave Risa Tsumugi allergy.
bonus: seiyuus talking about their respective RtF stories are pretty nice. Photon Maiden got the craziest description lol (her seiyuu is known to be insane).

That sure was a stream of all time

>>2238567
If I could buy nyochi I would but donuts does not care for globabs

>>2238570
I didn't watch, what happen besides above?

>A revamp to the one challenge mode you need to buy the pass for play where you play courses of 4 songs to get different rankings. No info given but the revamp is coming in 2027.

>A new mode called "Groovy Rush". Absolute 0 information given.
>Unichord Growth is next. No details given and they didn't even talk about these last two, they were just graphics on a calendar.

Basically a nothingburger, at least when you consider that you had to sit through 1.5 hours of it if you endured it live. JP is fucking livid because they gaslit themselves into thinking they were getting an IRL D4FES lmao

personally pretty good. I would have liked to know what happened to the 4Koma we were supposed to be getting from a DfY prize, but beyond that I'm happy about the nyochio and profile customizations now EN will have to endure my shitty schizo ships even more

lol a fucking audition ticket

The fucking song made me think the game was broken

Nyerm did the dailies get removed?

Oh, it's that kind of full customization profile...
Dunno why I thought it'll be something simpler.

TL;DR because I'm not dignifying this shit with a TL like I did last time:
>They are aware that they have fucked up severely with shipping out DfY prizes, etc.
>Producer-kun thinks the story is too complicated and can't follow it. This has implications on the current quality of the writing and I hope this producer gets the rope (but don't think he will)
>Eggs aren't in RTF, but management wants to keep involving them in the project to some extent and hinted at connections to the other units.
>Birthday overhaul is almost entirely negative/a downgrade/cost-cutting IMO
>Profiles are in because management wanted people to be able to express themselves better.
>Technical Cup is in because the current producer likes rhythm games (possibly to the detriment of literally the entire rest of the project, if the rest of this is anything to go by)
>Paid Songs are here to stay. They're looking into using the feature to revive songs that were pulled previously.
>Groovy Mix Cup cancelled (eat shit Bacon you got what was coming to you for ruining ours)
>Remix Contest is finally actually going to happen, also an original song contest
>DfY is here to stay
>Groovy Difficulty returning
>DIGRUSH is coming, no details other than that it is "endgame content"
>Stage Ranking (I forget what they call this in EN, the mode where you play 4 songs in a row to clear challenges) is being revised.
>VIEW ADS FOR FREE DIAMONDS LMAO

>>VIEW ADS FOR FREE DIAMONDS LMAO
Last time a game did this it was cause it literally was dying, but that game was almost 3 times older than DJs

Why did Dogpoo suddenly join D4DJ fanclub? I don't think any live ticket lottery is ongoing.

I don't like the malicious TL anon.
Can I get a non biased version?

Summary of Key Announcements

Physical Items & Rewards: Delays are attributed to quality assurance and structural shifts; all physical rewards are slated for delivery by the end of the year.

Main Story (ROAD TO FUTURE): Continuing forward, but recognizing accessibility hurdles for new/returning players due to heavy volume. SNS promotional campaigns will be enhanced to make catching up easier.

EGOEGG: Will not appear in the ROAD TO FUTURE main story due to existing power-gap dynamics with veteran units, but will continue to see cross-unit interactions in events, live shows, and future lore expansions.

Birthday Member Revamp: Discontinuing the Navigation Series in favor of dedicated Birthday Gacha banners, voice dramas, and instrumental birthday tracks (including EGOEGG members).

Paid Music & Collaborations: Following positive trials (like Yume Stellarium), paid song releases will continue based on demand, opening pathways for future collaborations and potential re-releases of removed songs.

6th Anniversary New Features:

Custom Profiles: Fully customizable player profiles utilizing over 6 years of in-game stamps, titles, and art assets.

Technical Cup: A skill-based end-content mode tailored for rhythm game enthusiasts.

Contests: A Remix Contest (Remicon) via FEAT aims for a Spring 2027 application launch, alongside a newly announced Original Song Contest.

Groovy Mix Cup: The 2026 tournament is postponed, but an updated iteration is currently in development.

>>2239023
>Custom Profiles
from the way it's worded this sounds like the Hololive customization

>>2239024
Dunno how that one is, but from the screenshots I've seen it's basically a canvas, then you throw your stuff on it.
I think the new bandori game has that too.

>>2239002
>>2239023
The biggest issue with stories he mentioned is that it is mixed up with the anime, which I agree. Bushiroad should have adapted the anime story in the game back them. And anime S2 should have reintroduced the new game only cast instead of the ominibus we got.

>>2239002
>>2239023
It is not just Dfy prizes. The Happy Around stickers from web store, and the 2026 new year cards from lotteries are also missing...

>>2239002
>>2239023
Next EGOEGG stories will also focus on
1. Toru's little sister!!
2. Other sponsors of Hare's sister's TV audition
3. The REAL reason of JK EGOEGG disbandment

In the repost Weird amount of Korean girls wanting to come over and join D4DJ as cast members...

>>2239032
Yeah that's exactly what the hololive one is. I assume many nips liked it and it's being copied.

>>2239087
Interesting, they didn't promise the girls will be in Groovy Mix. Plus the new unit is co-run by http://sleipnir-hello.world/service/

Well to me it is better if the franchise grows as opposed to shriveling and dying like Idoly Pride, Heaven Burns Red etc

>>2239280

Yura's staff account accidentally reposted the Dfy with Hayate instead

>>2239088
>>2239032
The letter specifically says they will provide Toru, Nyochio and Dennouji materials for your profiles!

>>2239023
Groovy Mix Cup is probably cancelled due to the failure to launch the multi finger mode.
The multi finger mode is on the list of to-fix at end of the letter along with tours: ユーザーの負担になっている運用施策の改善検討
Tours is a big complaint during the offline playtesting

>>2239268
No one cares about any one of these. How are the nips taking it?

>>2239644
See it as a positive that Donuts want to keep the brand up and even expanding it
Understand Donuts' own talents will be cheaper, so they can produce content without making storyless events like since under Bushiroad.
Those who hate UniChØrd, EGOEGG etc hate it.
Some EGOEGG fans are worried they are being abanonded. Some think the new unit will be paired up with EGOEGG.

>>2239021

Admittedly I was in a bad mood with a migraine typing this up (since I did a full TL for my wife anyway) but nothing I posted was factually incorrect other than me taking a dig at Bacon. That being said >>2239023 is basically correct.

>しかしながら、ストーリー周りに関しては私自身課題を感じております。

>加えてシナリオ分量も多く、ユーザーへの負担が大きくなっていることも事実です。

This says the game was originally a continuation of the anime, but after 6 years the number of stories that have piled up is something producer-kun sees as a "burden" for new/returning users. My snarky remark is that producer-kun is too stupid/lazy to read. It takes like 5 hours to read the previous main stories unless you're listening on auto mode. Faster if you want to focus on one unit. I did like how for the later RTFs they dropped the requirement to grind dig rank for the old stories though. Wish they'd do it for everyone.


>>2239644
They fucking hate it with the exception of people like >>2239674 who like egoegg. nips want PM and Rondo back, not more literally whos.

>>2239023
>due to existing power-gap dynamics with veteran units
This is what I mean by producer-kun not being able to read. The egg story implied a few times that eggs are extremely talented and basically at D4FES level. Also of the points in >>2239058 2/3 of them really should not be significant (Toru's sister was just an offhanded comment Toru used to try cheering Hare up during Egoegg 4, and Hare already explained in great detail why she broke up JK Eggs).

>>2239087
You have to be a resident of Japan to apply so they're probably going to be disappointed lol

I literally asked grok to translate it, good to know it's pretty good

caveat, I did get one thing wrong in forgetting that there were non-DfY related physical rewards like >>2239057 said.

Very nice.
Unrelated: they did a stealth update to the param cap. 15% -> 16%. ~300 discs per stat to make the jump (so 900 total for each character)

Playing with this profile card thing, it's exactly like hololive's game, but I don't need to pay $3 to access stickers from each vtumor

Seems like everyone is too busy to make their profile

Collabo cards are not allowed for some reason...

Yes. We're getting it next.
Dunno about gfes Kokoa though, I can't remember the timeline.

Just to check, currently store merch is basically the Nyochio plush and keychains right?
Wish they can sort by availability...

Also I already picked up the 4th anni mats previously. It's kinda surprising they still have those. Did they overstock or what?

>>2242801

Sometimes they restock the fanclub pvc cards and can badges (not the summer ones).

Your best bet is filtering by unit. There's a few ri4 and hapiara goods still in stock it seems, the Peaky and hapiara nyochios, some egoegg merch. Mame live goods are almost exclusively sold on the Ace Crew website so don't bother with them.

If you're buying the nyochio and just want more merch to justify the import, for most goods you're probably better off buying secondhand off yahoo auctions or jp mercari and consolidating your orders with your proxy/forwarding service of choice. Sometimes you can get pretty big lots for dirt cheap. Just be careful because the weight can definitely add up.

>>2242142
>>2242355
Adorable, thank you for the pics.

>>2242897
Mainly looking for Unichord stuff.
Well, it delivers like March next year anyway, I'll see how it goes then.
There is still potential 6th anni merch right?
>If you're buying the nyochio and just want more merch to justify the import,
Nah, I just want to pickup stuff if I have the chance.
Especially if I can get it first hand.
And well, I guess I'm still in the potential EoS mindset. So I'm grabbing what I can.

>>2243040
I don't think I've had merch arrive on time a single time via mail order, so you probably have even longer.

>There is still potential 6th anni merch right?

Doubtful. Nyochio + the keychains seem to be our 6th anni merch. I'm surprised they aren't doing arcylic plates of the KVs they were so proud of at least.

There's always 6.5th anni assuming we don't eos. 5.5th they did a merch drop, so who knows.

Your real best bet is for unichord to get another live. Merch sales go on pre-order about 2 months before. Most forwarding services (or at least the ones I've used) will hold for 2~3 months. So if they get a live around March or April or maybe even May, you should be okay to ship it with the nyochio.

>>2243070
Wish I didn't be stupid and missed the last live's merch.
Honestly I'm not worried about the timing, it's still cheaper than the fucking gacha anyway...
And frankly the shipping costs is still okay compared to import duties.

But yeah, I want some acrylics, The 5.5 ones looked pretty good. If I'm not misremembering which one it was. It was the one with the 4th anni pictures right? That one is so good imo.

>>2243087

They did full unit acrylic plates which looked really nice in pictures. No individual standees though, which was a shame. The 5th anni nv classic clocks were my favorite and I kinda wish they would bring them back.

The can badges and pvc cards were an absolute shitshow (but beautiful--if you can pick some up secondhand then do it). 32 characters split between only 2 groups with no way to guarantee you'll get the one you want. The rates seem to be getting even worse, if the summer fanclub drops are anything to go by (since they added eggs and doggos, making 2 pools of 20 instead). Full cast drops are abyssmal, but they seem to be the only things giving life to the units who aren't getting lives, so I guess I can't be too mad.

what were the spooky nyochios supposed to give? i can only exchange them for coins

No Ri4 stream too??

>>2243927
Photo is a nothingburger. Literally just a jpeg that you can datamine easily
Voice Drama not sure. No one's uploaded it yet and IDC about Rei so I don't want to waste the money to check. Could be self-insert stuff, could be similar to the NV Party Card Stories where they just go "wow it sure was my birthday this year". Not sure.

Side-Note: Looks like Lillies get an archive but no live stream. Weird that Abyssmare specifically didn't even get that. Maybe there was trouble with the venue? When I was there they had a camera setup in the back, but no crews at/around the stage, so I wonder if something went sideways with the staff.

i think this is good because less ultra limited cards can't be bad, but i'm sure donuts will find a way to turn up the jewness somewhere else

I guess I'm too Unichord brained.
I thought the first 6th anni event was 1 member of each unit. Only now playing through the event I realized that M4 and Ri4 both have 2 members lmao.
I saw Lumina was there alone and assumed it was the same for all of them.
How are the card stories anyway? The event one is kinda meh. Too many people, too little time. There are some good points though, like Elsie and the pranksters.

>>2244608
You say that like they already haven't.
Also birthday has the final club item gated by rolling now.

And ironically, in a sense NVs are easier to get, because at least you can buy one of the pick tickets every month... Stupid expensive, but afaik that's the only consistent pick ticket?

The new unit's sound producer is behind a lot of big namd idols, huh

I liked buying the NV packs. It made getting the ET easy and if you only care about 1/2 characters it really wasn't that bad if you space out your purchases.
I guess for the BDay cards you only need 1 copy instead of 3, though. Is there any benefit to ETing the new BDay cards? NV at least gave additional dialogue, then also all old dialogue for ET1/2.

>>2245339
iirc they just say their quotes from when you pull them. I could be wrong though.

Looks like we get a free 10 roll for the BD gacha, so you can get this for free. That's good.
I got nothing else out of it though.

Otoh, I rolled twice on the paid gacha for the 6th anni 1st for the title. And got lucky and picked up Shinobu.
Which apparently secured my PKPK team for the foreseeable future for growth live. Just in time I guess for the incoming Unichord growth.
Now I just need to get my teams the right skills...
