Almost a month after this videos come out and I'm really surprised at the response! I make these as a hobby and was expecting nothing from this, so thanks for watching. I'm taking all of your feedback into account, you're all really straight and clear with it, you're pretty cool people works gonna be going into a busy blackout period soon so any ETA for the follow up (or any other video) is unknown, but I'm working on it. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you in future vids
on the japanese server, theyres a mode called rank match that basically puts you up against one person, ignores your cards power and grades you both based on pure skill i hate being graded based on card power so when this mode came out i played a LOT more
@@Emwithastarr But now imagine if you once actually got a great score on a very difficult level but then get a bad rating because of your cards.. It's really frustrating
@@jno7 L bozo anyway my event teams usually have low talent so I get getting low scores but tbh it just gives me motivation to get better cards (still though I feel that my high scores are like a reward for my year of grinding)
i absolutely agree about the currencies, its pretty annoying when you first start...i learned everything by "walking around" the world and all the menus, i still hate it even if i get it because i mix em up sometimes, and its just... redundant
I was so baffled playing this for the first time, Charms and Gems confuse me the most. They borderline look the same as if they're duplicate currencies or something like colourful pallete please I think it's enough lol
A lot of the ‘currencies’ mentioned are really just items like the Charms and Skill up scores and cover cards and stuff whereas gems, coins and those silver coin thingies for virtual shoes are really the only actual ‘currencies’
I disagree. Skill up scores and other things may be items but you accumulate them and exchange them for certain things/and or benefits in the game, so they're all currencies by default.
The score being dependent on your cards is not really a problem with project sekai specifically, the entire idol rhythm game genre has that 'feature' and its understandibly not for everyone. And with it being an idol rhythm game the many currencies are just a norm, one currency for one menu. You just go around the game menus and level everything you can/want to and then get on with your life. That's generally how I play these sorts of games.
I honestly don’t think it a problem. It’s just a feature of gacha, card, event based rhythm games like this. if that’s a problem to you it’s probably just not eh genre for you
oh i totally get how you feel... before project sekai's release, i was really bitter. i thought it would never top diva for me, i thought the characters were boring, and i thought the rhythm game was lame. but everything grew on me SO hard. diva was special to me, and as much as i hate how sega tries to profit off of it by making rehashed releases, it will never stop having a special place in my heart. and when i heard of project sekai's release, i was angry because i thought "why would they make original characters when they can make a game with vocaloids alone instead!" or "vocaloids in a story setting again? ugh!" or "this is corporate trash!" and no, the mvs aren't better. the vocaloids don't shine in the story. and the vocaloids aren't even the main focus of the game. but i somehow love the game now. and i think it's because i realized i wanted the game to be something it was never intended to be. the characters are all so fun and unique. i love the conflicts and themes in the story. i love a lot of the charts in the game. so much of the card art and the concepts behind it are incredibly creative. the song selection combines old and new vocaloid songs. and the vocaloid's personalities vary throughout the groups, channeling a part of what vocaloid always is and always should be; varied and artistic. everything in this game is varied, actually. the vocaloid's personalities, the styles, the aethetics, the art, the symbolism; everything. this game never was what i wanted at first; a game that uses vocaloid characters and is just a plain old song list. instead, i got something better, being a game centered around the perspective looking INTO vocaloid. it's the perspective of vocaloid nerds and lovers, or just those who experience the genre in general. this game feels less like a game about vocaloid characters, and more like a love letter to vocaloid as a whole that is contained within a game. it's detailing what vocaloid is to people and how it can help them (side note, one of the themes in 25ji story being about "saving people with songs" made me feel deeply understood. it's something that not only i have noticed in the vocaloid space, but something that i am able to relate to. and seeing that the creators of the game's story understand that..? god. it fills me with a feeling i can't describe. it's like the community i love is finally being understood by artists who can put their work out there and reach a larger audience through a game like this. it just feels... good). vocaloid, something near and dear to me, has been put in hands that i trust. and it's being used so incredibly well. oh also adding this! i just wanted to give my take on leveling cards for your score. i honestly don't think it's that bad. in fact, i think it just adds more to the game. leveling cards just gives me more incentive to play songs. i've found that i don't return to games like project diva (when it's not watching mvs) much anymore because i really have no incentive to play since i've unlocked everything. but the gacha system makes it impossible to own everything, and logically, you can never run out of cards to level because of 2 stars and new 3 stars getting added every week or so. without leveling cards, a lot of fun grinding and other features dependent on card strength would be lost. i don't see it as them saying card stats > skill, but more as it being card stats AND skill matter. with skill, you can get full combo crystals, and with cards, you get score crystals. plus, that makes it so players who struggle with rhythm games as a whole don't miss out on major rewards while still rewarding players for their skill in other ways. but this might also just be because leveling up cards is just satisfying for me alskjf
holy shit YOU should've made this video not me lmao. I never thought about sekai this deeply before but this all makes alot of sense to me and is pretty much the arc I went with this game. Vocaloid (DIVA especially) is something I hold in a very special place, I probably wouldn't be the same person and wouldn't have met some of the great people I know now without it. Appreciating sekai was a challenge but it really did grow on me (don't know if I made that apparent enough). I'll take DIVA over it any day but I'm more inclined to see it's positive aspects now
Ichika being more of an observer in the main story is kind of the point. It’s been mentioned that she used to be more initiative when she was younger, but constant rejections made her withdraw. She starts gaining back those traits at the end of the main story, and she grows a lot in the event stories - to the point that she’s currently one of the quickest characters to take agency when something goes wrong. She’s well aware that she changed from when she was a kid, and at the beginning, she considers her past self to be better than her present self. She’s also a huge ass dork, I love her. PJSK in general has an issue where the main stories are pretty much just the introductions to the characters. There’s like three years worth of development missing.
I’m pretty sure Ichika is supposed to be the game’s self insert character. She has a relatively simple design that reminds me of a standard isekai protagonist. Also her being an avid Miku fan to make her more relatable to the audience. Tbh I think she was done dirty on that front but LeoNeed is my least favorite group right now so I haven’t read through most of their events. Also something I really like about MMJ’s story is that in their first key event (which takes place right after the end of their main story) they try to get into an agency and when no one will take them they decide to freelance instead! Since you said you hate idol culture I thought you might like that part? I think it’s cool that they have control over their own group and don’t let an agency break them up. From what I know about idol culture a lot of the toxicity comes from the agencies. MMJ is committed to being authentic and doesn’t lose sight of their real goal to encourage others like them. :)
Yeah you're on the money with Ichika, it feels really weird that she's sorta the only character who acts as a self insert when you could start with any other group if you answer the right questions on first boot, and they all don't have someone like Ichika (maybe Kohane?). Makes me wish they did more with her as a character I'll have to take your word for MMJ. I haven't completed the story but if that's how it ends then that's pretty neat. My stated view on idol culture is admittedly surface level since it's an industry i don't involve myself in, but alot of what I infer from it is usually toxic agencies as you've pointed out. Doesn't stop me from occasionally dropping into a hololive stream or two every few months but yeah
U dont get to realize how well written ichika is of a character if u dont even try to look into more event stories, she develops and becomes less of a “self insert” in the event stories (as someone who’s read ALL of her card stories and every event story in the game) She wasn’t done dirty. Her whole character is that she was COMPLETELY alone for 2 years with only miku as her comfort while her two best friends were constantly avoiding her and her other best friend was hospitalized and she couldn’t tell her a thing because she didn’t want her to be upset with her condition, So she had NO ONE to tell about anything that she was going through. Ichika is timid and cannot speak up well for herself, She comes back to it MULTIPLE times in her development how she was someone weak and could only stand while things happened in the past and regretted it so much, But later on, She is able to speak her mind properly and become more confident as a person without having any doubt or fear anymore and idk how to explain it better, It’s just smth rlly good if u watch the stories themselves and see it for yourself
@@fleta4328 I’m sorry for being rude. The conclusion I came to was just based on LN’s main story. But you’re right, I really do need to go through the event stories for her. The way you described her here actually makes me like her a lot more. Thanks for saying this! Now I’m looking forward to seeing more of her story. :)
@@corndawg9595 The way I would put it is that main stories are the units' backstories. They're really not enough to get a sense of the characters, the good stuff truly begins when the main story ends if anything.
Actually, n25 isn't the only group where an individual character created their sekai, tsukasa actually solely created the wonderland sekai (like mafuyu) but since it focuses on tsukasa much more in the wxs main story so you dont realize it as much
With skill scores yeah you can. The beginner ones barely feel like they do anything unless you invest your whole lot and the intermediate ones are harder to get but yknow that's fair¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Thanks for feedback
honestly, as an avid player of project sekai, i love how honest you are with expressing what you think about each little thing in the game. it's refreshing to hear someone be unbiased in saying it's an amazing game just because they like vocaloid (ofc not everyone is like that, but i have experienced some who just won't take constructive criticism about the game very lightly..). while there are, as stated in the video, a few inconsistencies, i do like the brutal honest review, which i guess correlates with the "cynical" in the title LOL
this games taught me some new habits since I was initially disappointed, but I came around to it in the end, which is probably why I said the things the way I did. It's definitely looking at it differently than if I had loved it straight away. Honestly I thought there was the slight chance I was gonna get absolutely cooked alive for this video. I get there are some people who probably wouldnt take criticism lightly but so far it's a constructive and positive response, so you're all a great community as far as I'm concerned👍 I'm glad you enjoyed! Next time I'll try to be more consistent lol
If you really want other characters in 3DMVs, make sure the check box( next to the characters appearing in the MV) does NOT have a pink tick in it and equip the characters you want in your team Side note: characters will appear in different places of different characters for the intended MV dep. So if the original lineup is Kaito, Tsukasa, Rui, Emu, Nene and you have the team Luka, Miku, Toya, Mizuki, Mafuyu, then Luka=Kaito, Miku=Tsukasa, Toya=Rui, Mizuki=Emu and Mafuyu=Nene I hope that made sense 😅 37:51
and to add: if you have equipped a certain costume for your characters that are different from their original outfits, they will not appear in the 3DMV if the check box has the pink tick, even if you’ve given the characters meant for the 3DMV a new costume. so if you want to see those characters in their special costumes, make sure you get rid of that pink tick and have your lineup be in the same order as the original one to have the characters be in the right position. two long sentences there, hope it was sensical 😭
if you choose to read the event stories (there's a lot, I know), you'll see how much more complex the wxs characters are. I don't want to spoil anything, but the struggles that those characters go through are what I have found personally the most relatable. you just have to be able to get past the fact that the characters are written to be exaggerated versions of real people
WxS has the most consistently enjoyable event stories and they're all great so far IMO, I like what they do with the characters at alot of points in it
I like how the gacha has a more "I like this card" appeal rather than the more traditional "I want it because it will make what I have stronger" appeal because it isnt like getting a incomplete set of items in a action game,where a lot of the power is locked from you just because you don't have an item or weapon.Gacha is made to feel bad when you dont get something,because that will make you spend money,so not having this feeling mixed with the practical usage aspect feels a lot better
There's also rank match, which you need 10 expert or master FCs AND rank 50 to unlock. The lowest difficulty that is in rank match is 18 (a lot of songs are 18 on hard), while the highest is 37 (What's up? Pop!). If you're on beginner, then you won't get master difficulty (lowest is 26) and if you're on or above silver, then you won't get hard difficulty (highest is 23). Seasons last 3 months, and I'm currently on platinum.
Yeah...I only go to play a few songs. I'm a vocaloid fan only so I don't care for the characters and everything else (besides trying to get vocaloid cards). So with that limited scope the game is actually very fair lol. But ppl who do care about everything could easily end up being fleeced 💀
for the mvs i think there were specific reasons why the two you mentioned (bring it on + senbonzakura) didn't have mvs bring it on was sort of like a group introductory song for the group Vivid BAD SQUAD, which, along with all of the other introductory songs (roki for L/n, happy synthesizer for MMJ, sweet magic for WxS and jishoumushoku for N25) were used in the project sekai trailer as an introductory to the voices and overall vibes of the said group. In the trailer, they had to showcase the 3D mvs for whatever reason I have no idea for, so they made only 3D mvs for all of it. They didn't add the original mv probably because it was one of the earliest songs the vas recorded (I think the earliest for the vbs group even before their commissioned ready steady) and they never. went. back. to. it. like ever. they ripped bring it on off. senbonzakura on the other hand might be seen as a controversy issue, because project sekai tried to cater to all audiences, i dont think the rest of the world was really big on the themes of "ooh yuh japanese nationalism and anti westernization!!!1!) of which i think it even got taken down on the korean servers for it (edit: they did 💀), but it is a really iconic song so i think the devs just wanted to lowkey add it in and forget about it. idk thats what i could find but theres really not a lot of info about this online (esp for the senbonzakura one the bring it on one was easier)
i havent finished the video yet, but i highly disagree with honami's reasoning being "too fucked up and she shouldve known better" she's a teenage girl, not an adult, of course she's insecure and scared about her relationships with her classmates. She's a victim of bullying that was caused by ostracization, of course she wouldn't wanna risk going through that again. Is it a justifiable reasoning? No, but it's definitely not a criticism for the story. It makes sense with her character and she comes clean with her selfishness by the end of it. A character doing something morally wrong doesn't equate to bad writing
6:12 Actually because of it’s really simple, easy to pick up user interface the actually hard charts are physically way more insane than most other rhythm games. Because of it’s not really lane-fixed format the sliders can also be really creative but those kinds of sliders are mostly in Expert in Master (so it would make sense that a player playing mostly in hard wouldn’t get to appreciate them)
Yeah in retrospect I spoke a bit prematurely calling it easier than other games despite only playing hard for the most part. I've tried some more extreme charts since writing and your description makes sense of it
I REALLY wanted to because they're probably my favourite N25 character, but what ended up happening was that I went on this long winded rant/discussion that killed and prolonged the entire pace of the already long story section of the video. So I cut it out and saved it for later Future follow up vid will throw that back in among other things
@@mau1368 ILL BE WAITING FOR THAT HSADASHDADGWHFIEHI I LOVE MIZUKI SM SJJHAIFE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ALL OTHER PROSEKA CHARACTERS MIZUKI IS BEST MIZUKI IS ETERNAL MIZUKI IS CUTE, HOT, EVERYTHING YOUR NOT HAS AN AMAZING PERSONALITY EXCEPTIONAL BACKSTORY AN EXCELENT FASHION TASTE COVERS THAT ABSOLUTELY SLAY AND JUST IS THE BEST IN GENERAL They are a gem.

Literally the only reason I got this game was so I could play a rhythm game. That was it. It turned out there was a LOT of extra stuff that was pretty cool I guess, but it wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted a mobile vocaloid rhythm game
Nobody talks about the deepness of Ichika’s personality, she’s had to live with her best friends all ignoring her and one of her friend that’s (probably) somewhere on the brink of death AND SHE DOESNT KNOW WHYY like Shiho and Honami could’ve just told her something but SHE’S HAD TO LIVE FOR MONTHS WITH BARELY ANY FRIENDS AND HER BEST FRIENDS IGNORING HER FOR (to her) NO REASON AT ALL!?!? And she still manages to just be a normal person and go to school everyday and like not completely break down😭 She’s one of my favourites i love her so much 😭😭😭😭😭
the editing and the quality of the video is really good! i agree with most of the points, though i dont think the gacha aspect is that bad. the game is pretty generous in that sense compared to other gachas. either way, im hoping for more videos from you! i really enjoyed this one
I have been told it's more generous and retrospectively, there are definitely worse gachas out there lol. Admittedly it's more personal bias against gachas as a revenue system, but I realize, for the most part, it's possible to enjoy the game without ever touching the gacha if it's just rhythm game people are here for. I'm glad you enjoyed!
I have some issues retrospectively but because of how they're handled, I'd rather have them than not, they're much better than I was expecting. N25 went much deeper than I thought it would
5:27 Kaai Yuki was a vocaloid voiced by a literal child. There is one producer ikubakunori (I think thats how you spell it) who uses her solely, and there are some Fire songs like Lag Train
30:46 Regarding the scoring system in MVP during co-op where it only relies on the team strength, actually the devs had make another option of gameplay to take care of this. Idk whether it's on global yet but it has been for awhile in JP server. There's this thing called Rank Match. So basically it's like a duel. You would be paired with other random player, picked random song with random difficulties. Don't worry the randomness of song choice would not be out of your rhythm game ability radar. Like I'm sure I would fail miserably for Master song level 32 above but the game never picked those songs to me. It also would not choose songs that would be too easy for you too. I can FC most on Expert Level hence they never gave Easy or Normal difficulties to me. The scoring is simple where at the end your total Perfect notes is timed 4, great timed 3, good x2, bad x1, and miss x0. The one who gets higher point wins. If you win, you'll get a batch, and if you lose you lost a batch. It also got trophies (don't remember how many) classified as bronze, silver, gold, platinum, etc. Each trophies has 4 level with 5 badges each. So technically every trophies have 20 batch. It works like rating system. The 3 first gameplay is to determine where's your initial trophy placement. If the result is quite good, you can be placed quite high. But remember you can win and loss, so at the end of each season there's a possibility your placement is lower than your initial placement. Each season occurs for a month if I remember correctly. There's also reward depends on your final placement.
Btw the game chooses the song difficulty based on your tier in the rank match. You also need to fc a certain number of expert or master songs. So if youre in the highest tier possible, you will only get difficulty 30+ since most of the masters resides there
as a person who's been playing rhythm games(mostly mobile) almost their entire life, is heavily into vocaloid, and has barely touched the gacha genre, this game rly just found a way into my heart :')) i first heard of this game before it was released through an old friend, and thought of maybe downloading it,,, and i finally did in july 2022 and oh boy i GENUINELY thought i was going to simply play the rhythm game part of it and ignore the gacha and other stories, and i did for a few months,, until another friend of mine decided to pull on a gacha for me and it was honestly a rabbit hole from there HAHA i started with grinding for 4* cards that i thought looked rly cool/pretty, to actually trying to read other stories and events that weren't only VBS and N25, just so i had more of a reason to want cards of other characters and lo and behold i became attached to certain characters and just the whole thing of vocaloids helping people out in the game(it resonated with me as vocaloid is such a huge part of my life) i already loved playing the rhythm game itself with its rather simple interface and the fact that i knew a LOT of the songs and artists in the selection and just wAAA i didn't expect this dumb little game to mean this much to me now, and i don't regret downloading it :'DD the whole "idol gacha rhythm game" genre is still not my type (i've downloaded bandori before but got too intimidated with the amount of stuff shoved at me so i uninstalled), but project sekai managed to make it easier for me to understand it a little more :D i will heavily agree tho the amount of currencies are annoying and are still annoying to me *cries* i don't even use a solid 1/4th of the currencies,,, and the thing with scores being solely based on the cards instead of skill😭, i used to be so pissed when i'd fc a song and all i get is a C, but the more i played, the less i paid attention to the scores tbh LOL i still find it a bit weird but e h, i've eventually accepted that it's how it works and had fun grinding my cards instead very well made video btw
As someone who hasn't played project sekai and is a fully devote d4dj player this video was super fun to watch! Thanks for making watchable even if you don't have any knowledge on project sekai. As a D4DJ player I am uber happy to see people actually criticize this game as it usually never happens. Also if your looking for another gacha idol rhythm game to rip to shreds D4DJ is a beautiful mess of game which people (like myself) love to hate and hate to love. It's pretty wacky all things considered.
tbh my biggest gripe w pjsk is the gacha system. they’re so stingy with currency that i would often go multiple events without being able to pull. it’s also practically impossible to get. a featured character, and the pity system resets after every event. i’ve probably gotten a total of 2 featured characters, only one limited, and i’ve pulled on, like, a hundred. it’s hard to even get a 4*. i just saw a vid where a girl pulled on the evillous banner 170 times and got 2 4*s and only one was the limited one. they don’t even make up for it by letting you choose which card you want, so you may not even get the one you’re pulling for.
Really enjoyed this video 🙏 I've been a Vocaloid fan since I was 9 years old but never played Project Sekai so this was a really interesting video to watch!
i started for the vocaloids and i thought mafuyu was a funky lil fucked up gal, and then i ended up a major shinonome enthusiast in love with the vocals for rui mizuki and nene. also, i was incredibly hyped when they commissioned niru kajitsu like i was so excited. every so often theyll add a song to the game and ill go "ohhh, i havent heard this one ! this is great, im going to listen to it more outside the game" and thats the story behind me rediscovering hiiragikirai. i do kinda agree the amount of menu layers and currencies are a mess but i think ive gotten used to it by now. on topic of the gacha: i kind of use it as a motive to keep playing regularly. i often find myself falling out of stride in games without a clear objective or further progress, so the fact that i can get by on my mastery 5 3stars well enough, but i could ALSO log in to get more crystals for enas birthday gacha... thats the extra dose of motivation that gets me logging in past my chronic lack of energy
As a casual and first time player of any rhythm game the currency was overwhelming so I just stuck to reading story and playing the game. Everything made more sense as I played more and more. Ngl the characters in the intro stories are not done very well but since it set them up for so much development later it was pretty worth it watching them grow 😊
In the summer of 2023(end of June I think) there will be a colorfes and with it a game mode called rank matches in which you’re skill is tested to your maxim potential and your score is based on skill not cards, it’s really fun and would definitely recommend you to try it out when it comes out on global!
Tbh I started pjsekai when the second an focused event happened I started cuz of her and the vocaloids (Kanade became one of my other favorite the more I played) and I gotta admit yeah alot of these I can relate too but I got pass of it the more I played I wouldn't say I'm a dedicated player but I do play alot since I do like some characters more than others so I play for them The charms make me mad the most doe I have to keep on getting them and they run out so fast since I need them to use to unlock side stories for some cards (4 to 5 2* stars in and getting charms really tick me off) Gems (like the bigger ones) are fine since I wouldn't use them alot
At this point I bought all the fucking songs and full combo 97% of them on expert mode already (level 31 songs are hard okay).I’m only saving up for Niigo and WxS cards and I only read niigo event stories cause I like them also cause Mizuki and Mafuyu are relatable to me
they probably need a lot of permissions from the team that made the og mvs and theres still so many songs without og mvs with that said, its really a gacha game in its core. also the 300 pity is a pain in the ass 😂 what i like about prsk is that i get to play songs that would never officially be on project diva and it makes me happy seeing composers get commissioned by the staff. my friend played for the seiyuus and i played for vocaloid so i love sharing info about the composers. to me, it's a project filled with love and it revived vocaloid exponentially imo. hell, they brought back toa from a long hiatus. they're hosting competitions for music and art! it's a project where they encourage you to keep creating the core value of vocaloid! they made everyone love miku again. my friend started getting more miku merch because of how much she loves the game. i think im just too emo for loving vocaloid this long.
This is one of those things I wish I actually talked about because I think the level of reinvigoration Sekai pumped into Vocaloid kinda has to be studied. As much as I don't exactly like the game, I gotta commend how its handling Vocaloid in the grander scheme of things, because I don't think I've seen a greater passion for energizing a community in this way in a long while. Its great stuff.
btw idk if you know this, but playing co-ops gives you around i think twice the rewards you would get from playing on your own, which is why even though co-op can be quite (really) bland it's very useful if you wanna level up quick and waste less time.
@Gabs Villalobos sekai is nothing like project diva tho- and yeah, ppl didnt really like diva X, but i loved it! the new songs and the story mode.. so good!
I have played this game on and off since the western release came out and I've just skipped all the story stuff, the descriptions you had for the groups made me laugh. I should probably check them out sometime 😆
I just need to vent my frustration with this game. I saw some YTers I like play the game and I wanted to try it. Everything was going fine for a long time. Sometime in last summer, the performance just dropped. Now my phone is old, but if I can run Star Rail and it lags way less and rarely crashes, where as Project Sekai it’s more common to lag more than not and I’ve crashed numerous times while just watching the story. Why does watching text scroll and pngs that barely move make my phone more hot than playing hours of Honkai Star Rail? Virtual lives have been bugged for like 4+ months now. Most of the time I just ignore them because they’re at like 2am. On the rare occasion where I don’t have to ruin my sleep schedule to catch them, it lags EVERYONE out and we wouldn’t get any rewards sometimes. I think for a while they just gave up and gave people the full rewards instead of partial even though the text still says, “partial rewards”. The buttons also don’t work while I’m the virtual live. I just gave up and downloaded Bandori and what do you know? It works perfectly fine. At this point I’m just playing for the story because I really like it. Now it’s getting crazy how much more monetization is getting added ONTOP of freaking gacha that’s apparently only in the EN version. After looking some stuff up, it seems like the team working on EN is either VERY small, new, overworked or all 3. I can’t really blame the devs if it’s any of the 3 above, but it’s just annoying.
I think your device just has issues with Project Sekai, dude. Same with mine, i dont have any issues with Pjsk, but i have a hard time even opening the loading screen for Star Rail. So i think it's more of a compatibility than the game actually having issues. But i might be wrong. Who knows, i just dont think too much about it sorry
for ichika, she isn’t supposed to be a nothing character she is a very introverted person who overthinks and blames herself for everything bad happening in the freind group, and she just has a hard time expressing herself
I've heard she's elaborated upon in the event stories which is good, because I know what you say is true and I don't think Leo/needs main story does her justice lol
@@mau1368 lol yeah the main stories are just elaborations to the characters. the bill of story in games like sekai (bandori, d4dj, enstars, etc) are in the event stories
I remember when I started playing, I strived to get into at least the top 100 in events. But as someone who doesn't pay for gems I've given up getting there at this point. I just can't get and level up the latest gacha as fast as people who use real currency. Closest I've ever gotten was Top 3000 in the second event over a year ago.
17 out of 26 characters get any real character. The VOCALOIDs aren't supposed to have any canon personalities but they could easily write them well and tell everyone that the personalities in the game are not canon. As for some characters who don't have a lot of character like Kanade, Airi, An, and maybe Ena... I'm not going to say anymore. I do have mixed feelings about Sekai, though. I do genuinely think it's the most fun mobile/gacha rhythm game I've ever played. And the art and VA work is fantastic. But... Well, it pisses me off sometimes.
the main reason i hate project sekai is because people think the vocaloids are originally from project sekai and know absolutley nothing about vocaloid.
Honestly, the story makes sense from a hardcore miku fan stance. If you know about the nuances of vocaloid producers and their reasonings for making music, backstory, etc, suddenly the characters make sense
This video is SOOOOOOOO good!! You nailed everything I don't like about this game LOL. Yes, some parts are pretty good, but like... I gotta say. Project DIVA solos.
Watching this video 11 months after it got uploaded made me realize how little content PJSK used to be. As someone who is in love with rhythm games but almost knows nothing about vocaloid, more so because i didn't grow up with it in my childhood. Project Sekai literally dragged me into knowing more about vocaloid than my sister (who is a fan of vocaloid music) ever could. Listening to your (almost outdated) criticism about this game clearly miffed me a bit, but it's still oddly interesting to listen to. I learned about this game when i was still a middle schooler who only has discord and anime as my comforter from my harsh and dull reality, and i admit my first impression of the game is not that great either but it's probably due to me playing the game with the Japanese version instead of the global version at first, and because of that i dont understand a thing (my mistake on that part). I thought the game was a waste of my time, but somehow, i gave it another chance (with the correct version, of course). And it absolutely grows on me. The stories, the characters, and its system in general made me love PJSK as a whole. Maybe it's because im still a teen, but the characters and their story are so relatable to me that i instantly got attached to the majority of the PJSK characters. And this is one of the things where i feel miffed about your review. Is that the gameplay is by no means easy, oh no, it's getting more painfully hard by the day (proof of JPSEKAI's hell charts), and because of that, it kept me entertain by having to hurt my thumbs everytime i have to play a lvl28 charts just to get rewards so i can get my desired (gacha) cards in the future 💀. I dont know how it happened, but because i got to know about PJSK the way i did a year and a half ago, i now became obsessed with this game that it became slightly unhealthy (im dealing with it-) and i know alot more about vocaloid and its producers with their community. I'm honestly not sure why i like this game in the first place other than its feeding my need to gamble on pulling for pretty png cards and feeling accomplished whenever i got an A/S and getting FC when i finished a song, but it will always has a special place in my heart.
I'm late but comments like these are immensely insightful to the community that plays this game, and I see it somewhat diferently now because of them. Thank you for watching!
Tbh your point on gems are a bit too harsh Yes they look like each other but game gives you all of them quite equally and you kinda hardly need them anyway
I agree with their distribution and lack of real use, but imo that in itself is an issue/redundancy. If you hardly need them then why are they there to begin with? I understand it's to grind for those who want to but it deters me from engaging with the rest of the games systems because stuff needs one specific currency because...reasons Personally, having the player choose carefully what they want from multiple things with a more centralised currency system would be more engaging and memorable for them, as they'd think more carefully towards what they're actually getting from purchases instead of the equivalent of filling a quota for something specific. That's just me though, I appreciate the feedback
Well as said before, it's been like that a while and I haven't felt the need to change it. I wanna see what I'm going up against for the most part, as well as learning the charts.
project sekai is clearly not all about the rhythm game part, so your skill does not matter that much (unfortunately), that’s why your team/cards determine your score. your accuracy, full comboing and all perfecting songs should be more focused on in the rhythm game aspect thank you for giving it a chance! also WAIT THIS IS COOL 8:16
great video!! Personally, Project Sekai introduced me to vocaloid annnddd IT'S SOO GOOD!!! The community, the creativity, THE MUSIC ?!! Anyway I totally agree with the "too many currency" problem, it's confusing...ALSO where is Mizuki's dedicated part ??! I really wanna know why they are you favorite character!
about what you where saying at around 34:58- I don’t know if this was a feature when you were playing but currently birthday and event shows usually span over about 2 days and host shows hourly during that period
For me I don't really play project sekai to much because it's slow and never loads, but I do like the art and the covers It's one that's still standing even though so many games in the same genre have been shutting down lately (cries in show by rock fan)
Looks like someone never played Superstar games (Idk if it's for all Superstar games or just Superstar Loona but whatever) THAT is slow. It seems like the game takes forever to load. Sometimes it took me 4 minutes to enter. And EVERY FRICKING TIME you want to go to the main screen you ALSO HAVE TO WAIT FOR FOREVER.
i mean not project sekai but show by rock was really bad sometimes it took up to 5 minutes to get past the loading screen if a lot of players where on @@saerenity
Tbh i stopped playing because maybe i was doing something wrong but leveling up my cards just took to long for it to be fun.. plus, it's so annoying that people will just disconnect because they didn't get the song they want in co-op. Like,, if you only want to play one specific song play it by yourself??? Right now i play d4dj and sometimes enstars. For some reason the characters in those games are also more interesting to me than the ones in proseka idk
There has to be some sort of punishment for quitting coop for not getting a song you wanted tbh that's annoying. And yeah you're not alone in levelling up cards, with the energy boost multipliers they're pretty easy to level up at the start but even with them maxed out, you'll hit a point where it'll slow down alot. Having a goldfish attention span didn't help either so I just kinda trudged through it
@@mau1368Actually, if you disconnect too many times within a time period, the game bans you from going back into Co-Op for a while. If you do it too many times, I'm pretty sure your account can be banned (but it would take a LOT of times to get there)
I played this game how I play every other rhythm game: buy the songs I like and try to full combo my entire library while touching literally nothing else. It’s really fun on the actual rhythm game side, but I laughed a little when I got a full combo on extreme “disappearance of hatsune miku” and got a c rank at the same time as an achievement literally called carpel tunnel
for me when i first play this i thought this is going to be hell but this is amazing the timing in this game is almost perfect and when i try to do hard i almost win but when i keep playing this i began to go first try every mode not every only on hard mode because thats my limit and my final opinion of this game is a must play also you can enchant your tapping speed and exercise your thumbs and reaction speed
The best way to enjoy this game without getting hooked up on all the in game currencies is to skip all the stories, I legit do not know the names of most characters because I know that if I don't form an attachment via the story I will have less reason to obsess over getting 4* of certain characters. I can play the game as much as I want. The score system doesnt matter if you just wanna play a rhythm game. ONLY thing that keeps me back is the Music Cards, because if you want all the songs you need to buy some of them, and you cant buy them with crystals. The events and grinding the ranks etc is the only way. Took me a few days to finally get all of wowaka's songs in the game.
Actually the sekais are formed from the collective groups feelings apart from wonderlandxshowtime and nightcoord where they were created by tsukasa and mafuyu respectively
honestly, the thing that annoys me the most in this game is the concept of sekais itself. i find the whole "emotions giving birth to songs" thing a little underwhelming, because one of my favorite parts of idol franchises is seeing how the characters come up with songs. it's one of the reasons i didn't play the game when it first came out, but i was pleasantly surprised at how catchy some of the music actually is.
LETS GO MIZUKI GANG!!! Anyways, I play on the Japanese version both because I wanted to play it before the English version got announced...and because doing so keeps me from being tempted to spend actual money on this game.
I...can't find it either. Nor any full videos of the whole concert anymore (just a playlist), so I'm going to assume Colorful Palette went on a takedown spree of some kind
It’s late so I’m not gonna write much but what I will say this as a project sekai player I actually really liked this video. I actually liked how you too a more critical (or cynical) look at the game instead of just saying it’s the best thing in the world (I’m not saying project sekai fans or others are like that tho). I definitely agree with you on your takes on the main stories and specifically LN and Ichika, I get she gets more development in the event stories which is nice but she just stills feels like a nothing burger of a character compared to characters like Tenma, Mafuyu, Mizuki, and Saki and Shiho (I think that’s her name??) from her own band. And when it comes to the story and characters as a whole they just kinda feel…eh. Like just…eh. Excluding the vocaloids the only three characters in the whole cast of characters which I actually like are Mizuki, Haruka, and Mafuyu. Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t see much of the attachment factors in the other characters. I had more to say but maybe I’ll say it later in a different comment.
Tbf I haven't finished any of the stories besides LN yet theyre all more interesting to me. I get Ichi is supposed to be a self insert cause she's a huge Miku fan but thats all she has for character in that story. I think the characters are more interesting than the actual stories for the most part, almost none feel like wasted space so far. For something I was expecting complete boredom out of, I enjoyed what I got. I wished I talked more about that component of the game but I feel weird knowing thats the longest part of this video tbh
Almost a month after this videos come out and I'm really surprised at the response! I make these as a hobby and was expecting nothing from this, so thanks for watching.
I'm taking all of your feedback into account, you're all really straight and clear with it, you're pretty cool people
works gonna be going into a busy blackout period soon so any ETA for the follow up (or any other video) is unknown, but I'm working on it. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you in future vids
on the japanese server, theyres a mode called rank match that basically puts you up against one person, ignores your cards power and grades you both based on pure skill
i hate being graded based on card power so when this mode came out i played a LOT more
For me, I’m kinda bad at the game (can only play songs level 30 and lower) so the cards make me feel like I can actually show off something
@@Emwithastarr But now imagine if you once actually got a great score on a very difficult level but then get a bad rating because of your cards..
It's really frustrating
@@jno7 L bozo anyway my event teams usually have low talent so I get getting low scores but tbh it just gives me motivation to get better cards (still though I feel that my high scores are like a reward for my year of grinding)
@@Emwithastarr Thats understandable, but tbh that just is really not the gameplay I enjoy....
It’s coming to EN soon I believe, right?
By the way, all the siblings in this game are
Shizuku and Shiho
Ena and Akito
Tsukasa and Saki
Honami and Minori have a younger brother
Airi is the middle sister
Mizuki has a older sister
Toya and Emu have older siblings
@@slenderfigs Yeah them too!! I was just pointing out the siblings of the main cast
@@mewowow oh that's okay. I just made an addition
Len and rin are siblings as well
Rin and Len aren't siblings in the game and it's stated in some of the 1 star stories
i absolutely agree about the currencies, its pretty annoying when you first start...i learned everything by "walking around" the world and all the menus, i still hate it even if i get it because i mix em up sometimes, and its just... redundant
I was so baffled playing this for the first time, Charms and Gems confuse me the most. They borderline look the same as if they're duplicate currencies or something like colourful pallete please I think it's enough lol
@@mau1368 by themselves, they would be tolerable if they werent multipurpose tbh
I got tons from area conversations each day
A lot of the ‘currencies’ mentioned are really just items like the Charms and Skill up scores and cover cards and stuff whereas gems, coins and those silver coin thingies for virtual shoes are really the only actual ‘currencies’
I disagree. Skill up scores and other things may be items but you accumulate them and exchange them for certain things/and or benefits in the game, so they're all currencies by default.
The score being dependent on your cards is not really a problem with project sekai specifically, the entire idol rhythm game genre has that 'feature' and its understandibly not for everyone. And with it being an idol rhythm game the many currencies are just a norm, one currency for one menu. You just go around the game menus and level everything you can/want to and then get on with your life. That's generally how I play these sorts of games.
I honestly don’t think it a problem. It’s just a feature of gacha, card, event based rhythm games like this. if that’s a problem to you it’s probably just not eh genre for you
also project sekai gets a new original song every week or two from well known producers so colopale has done quite the effort ngl
Huh I didn't think songs were added that frequently, thanks for letting me know. Also took your other comment into account, thank you!
@@mau1368 no problem!
oh i totally get how you feel... before project sekai's release, i was really bitter. i thought it would never top diva for me, i thought the characters were boring, and i thought the rhythm game was lame. but everything grew on me SO hard. diva was special to me, and as much as i hate how sega tries to profit off of it by making rehashed releases, it will never stop having a special place in my heart. and when i heard of project sekai's release, i was angry because i thought "why would they make original characters when they can make a game with vocaloids alone instead!" or "vocaloids in a story setting again? ugh!" or "this is corporate trash!"
and no, the mvs aren't better. the vocaloids don't shine in the story. and the vocaloids aren't even the main focus of the game. but i somehow love the game now. and i think it's because i realized i wanted the game to be something it was never intended to be.
the characters are all so fun and unique. i love the conflicts and themes in the story. i love a lot of the charts in the game. so much of the card art and the concepts behind it are incredibly creative. the song selection combines old and new vocaloid songs. and the vocaloid's personalities vary throughout the groups, channeling a part of what vocaloid always is and always should be; varied and artistic.
everything in this game is varied, actually. the vocaloid's personalities, the styles, the aethetics, the art, the symbolism; everything.
this game never was what i wanted at first; a game that uses vocaloid characters and is just a plain old song list. instead, i got something better, being a game centered around the perspective looking INTO vocaloid. it's the perspective of vocaloid nerds and lovers, or just those who experience the genre in general. this game feels less like a game about vocaloid characters, and more like a love letter to vocaloid as a whole that is contained within a game. it's detailing what vocaloid is to people and how it can help them (side note, one of the themes in 25ji story being about "saving people with songs" made me feel deeply understood. it's something that not only i have noticed in the vocaloid space, but something that i am able to relate to. and seeing that the creators of the game's story understand that..? god. it fills me with a feeling i can't describe. it's like the community i love is finally being understood by artists who can put their work out there and reach a larger audience through a game like this. it just feels... good). vocaloid, something near and dear to me, has been put in hands that i trust. and it's being used so incredibly well.
oh also adding this! i just wanted to give my take on leveling cards for your score. i honestly don't think it's that bad. in fact, i think it just adds more to the game. leveling cards just gives me more incentive to play songs. i've found that i don't return to games like project diva (when it's not watching mvs) much anymore because i really have no incentive to play since i've unlocked everything. but the gacha system makes it impossible to own everything, and logically, you can never run out of cards to level because of 2 stars and new 3 stars getting added every week or so. without leveling cards, a lot of fun grinding and other features dependent on card strength would be lost. i don't see it as them saying card stats > skill, but more as it being card stats AND skill matter. with skill, you can get full combo crystals, and with cards, you get score crystals. plus, that makes it so players who struggle with rhythm games as a whole don't miss out on major rewards while still rewarding players for their skill in other ways. but this might also just be because leveling up cards is just satisfying for me alskjf
holy shit YOU should've made this video not me lmao. I never thought about sekai this deeply before but this all makes alot of sense to me and is pretty much the arc I went with this game.
Vocaloid (DIVA especially) is something I hold in a very special place, I probably wouldn't be the same person and wouldn't have met some of the great people I know now without it.
Appreciating sekai was a challenge but it really did grow on me (don't know if I made that apparent enough). I'll take DIVA over it any day but I'm more inclined to see it's positive aspects now
i read allat 🔥💯
Ichika being more of an observer in the main story is kind of the point. It’s been mentioned that she used to be more initiative when she was younger, but constant rejections made her withdraw. She starts gaining back those traits at the end of the main story, and she grows a lot in the event stories - to the point that she’s currently one of the quickest characters to take agency when something goes wrong. She’s well aware that she changed from when she was a kid, and at the beginning, she considers her past self to be better than her present self.
She’s also a huge ass dork, I love her. PJSK in general has an issue where the main stories are pretty much just the introductions to the characters. There’s like three years worth of development missing.
I’m pretty sure Ichika is supposed to be the game’s self insert character. She has a relatively simple design that reminds me of a standard isekai protagonist. Also her being an avid Miku fan to make her more relatable to the audience. Tbh I think she was done dirty on that front but LeoNeed is my least favorite group right now so I haven’t read through most of their events.
Also something I really like about MMJ’s story is that in their first key event (which takes place right after the end of their main story) they try to get into an agency and when no one will take them they decide to freelance instead! Since you said you hate idol culture I thought you might like that part? I think it’s cool that they have control over their own group and don’t let an agency break them up. From what I know about idol culture a lot of the toxicity comes from the agencies. MMJ is committed to being authentic and doesn’t lose sight of their real goal to encourage others like them. :)
Yeah you're on the money with Ichika, it feels really weird that she's sorta the only character who acts as a self insert when you could start with any other group if you answer the right questions on first boot, and they all don't have someone like Ichika (maybe Kohane?). Makes me wish they did more with her as a character
I'll have to take your word for MMJ. I haven't completed the story but if that's how it ends then that's pretty neat. My stated view on idol culture is admittedly surface level since it's an industry i don't involve myself in, but alot of what I infer from it is usually toxic agencies as you've pointed out. Doesn't stop me from occasionally dropping into a hololive stream or two every few months but yeah
U dont get to realize how well written ichika is of a character if u dont even try to look into more event stories, she develops and becomes less of a “self insert” in the event stories (as someone who’s read ALL of her card stories and every event story in the game) She wasn’t done dirty. Her whole character is that she was COMPLETELY alone for 2 years with only miku as her comfort while her two best friends were constantly avoiding her and her other best friend was hospitalized and she couldn’t tell her a thing because she didn’t want her to be upset with her condition, So she had NO ONE to tell about anything that she was going through. Ichika is timid and cannot speak up well for herself, She comes back to it MULTIPLE times in her development how she was someone weak and could only stand while things happened in the past and regretted it so much, But later on, She is able to speak her mind properly and become more confident as a person without having any doubt or fear anymore and idk how to explain it better, It’s just smth rlly good if u watch the stories themselves and see it for yourself
@@fleta4328 I’m sorry for being rude. The conclusion I came to was just based on LN’s main story. But you’re right, I really do need to go through the event stories for her. The way you described her here actually makes me like her a lot more. Thanks for saying this! Now I’m looking forward to seeing more of her story. :)
@@fleta4328 this is so true, I love Ichika so much and it hurts me to see her get mischaracterized so much among the fandom
@@corndawg9595 The way I would put it is that main stories are the units' backstories. They're really not enough to get a sense of the characters, the good stuff truly begins when the main story ends if anything.
Actually, n25 isn't the only group where an individual character created their sekai, tsukasa actually solely created the wonderland sekai (like mafuyu) but since it focuses on tsukasa much more in the wxs main story so you dont realize it as much
The more u read WxS lore, the more depressing it gets
Yeeaahh I started an event story for emu and yeah I see what you mean
True especially the last few events
emu and tsukasa out here making me cry again
i wanna know the lore
I haven’t finished the video but you can literally level up characters with going to characters and clicking on a card then “level up” 😭
With skill scores yeah you can. The beginner ones barely feel like they do anything unless you invest your whole lot and the intermediate ones are harder to get but yknow that's fair¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Thanks for feedback
honestly, as an avid player of project sekai, i love how honest you are with expressing what you think about each little thing in the game. it's refreshing to hear someone be unbiased in saying it's an amazing game just because they like vocaloid (ofc not everyone is like that, but i have experienced some who just won't take constructive criticism about the game very lightly..). while there are, as stated in the video, a few inconsistencies, i do like the brutal honest review, which i guess correlates with the "cynical" in the title LOL
this games taught me some new habits since I was initially disappointed, but I came around to it in the end, which is probably why I said the things the way I did. It's definitely looking at it differently than if I had loved it straight away.
Honestly I thought there was the slight chance I was gonna get absolutely cooked alive for this video. I get there are some people who probably wouldnt take criticism lightly but so far it's a constructive and positive response, so you're all a great community as far as I'm concerned👍
I'm glad you enjoyed! Next time I'll try to be more consistent lol
@@mau1368 aye man, you're good. it was a great video, no need to worry to much!
If you really want other characters in 3DMVs, make sure the check box( next to the characters appearing in the MV) does NOT have a pink tick in it and equip the characters you want in your team
Side note: characters will appear in different places of different characters for the intended MV dep. So if the original lineup is Kaito, Tsukasa, Rui, Emu, Nene and you have the team Luka, Miku, Toya, Mizuki, Mafuyu, then Luka=Kaito, Miku=Tsukasa, Toya=Rui, Mizuki=Emu and Mafuyu=Nene
I hope that made sense 😅 37:51
Note taken, thanks!
and to add: if you have equipped a certain costume for your characters that are different from their original outfits, they will not appear in the 3DMV if the check box has the pink tick, even if you’ve given the characters meant for the 3DMV a new costume. so if you want to see those characters in their special costumes, make sure you get rid of that pink tick and have your lineup be in the same order as the original one to have the characters be in the right position. two long sentences there, hope it was sensical 😭
if you choose to read the event stories (there's a lot, I know), you'll see how much more complex the wxs characters are. I don't want to spoil anything, but the struggles that those characters go through are what I have found personally the most relatable. you just have to be able to get past the fact that the characters are written to be exaggerated versions of real people
WxS has the most consistently enjoyable event stories and they're all great so far IMO, I like what they do with the characters at alot of points in it
I like how the gacha has a more "I like this card" appeal rather than the more traditional "I want it because it will make what I have stronger" appeal because it isnt like getting a incomplete set of items in a action game,where a lot of the power is locked from you just because you don't have an item or weapon.Gacha is made to feel bad when you dont get something,because that will make you spend money,so not having this feeling mixed with the practical usage aspect feels a lot better
There's also rank match, which you need 10 expert or master FCs AND rank 50 to unlock. The lowest difficulty that is in rank match is 18 (a lot of songs are 18 on hard), while the highest is 37 (What's up? Pop!). If you're on beginner, then you won't get master difficulty (lowest is 26) and if you're on or above silver, then you won't get hard difficulty (highest is 23). Seasons last 3 months, and I'm currently on platinum.
I've read that this is only available in JP but it's helpful nontheless, never knew this was a thing before some pointed it out .
love how its 39 minutes and 39 secs long

@@v1ku390 wtf
my personal playstyle is just "ignore everythiing and just focus on getting APs", anything else is irrelevant
I respect that
Yeah...I only go to play a few songs. I'm a vocaloid fan only so I don't care for the characters and everything else (besides trying to get vocaloid cards).
So with that limited scope the game is actually very fair lol.
But ppl who do care about everything could easily end up being fleeced 💀
@@htsunmiku eh that kinda ruins the appeal of sekai to me. If it wasn't for nightcord I wouldn't have even played the game lol
for the mvs i think there were specific reasons why the two you mentioned (bring it on + senbonzakura) didn't have mvs
bring it on was sort of like a group introductory song for the group Vivid BAD SQUAD, which, along with all of the other introductory songs (roki for L/n, happy synthesizer for MMJ, sweet magic for WxS and jishoumushoku for N25) were used in the project sekai trailer as an introductory to the voices and overall vibes of the said group. In the trailer, they had to showcase the 3D mvs for whatever reason I have no idea for, so they made only 3D mvs for all of it. They didn't add the original mv probably because it was one of the earliest songs the vas recorded (I think the earliest for the vbs group even before their commissioned ready steady) and they never. went. back. to. it. like ever. they ripped bring it on off.
senbonzakura on the other hand might be seen as a controversy issue, because project sekai tried to cater to all audiences, i dont think the rest of the world was really big on the themes of "ooh yuh japanese nationalism and anti westernization!!!1!) of which i think it even got taken down on the korean servers for it (edit: they did 💀), but it is a really iconic song so i think the devs just wanted to lowkey add it in and forget about it.
idk thats what i could find but theres really not a lot of info about this online (esp for the senbonzakura one the bring it on one was easier)
i havent finished the video yet, but i highly disagree with honami's reasoning being "too fucked up and she shouldve known better"
she's a teenage girl, not an adult, of course she's insecure and scared about her relationships with her classmates. She's a victim of bullying that was caused by ostracization, of course she wouldn't wanna risk going through that again. Is it a justifiable reasoning? No, but it's definitely not a criticism for the story. It makes sense with her character and she comes clean with her selfishness by the end of it. A character doing something morally wrong doesn't equate to bad writing
Yesss this was my main gripe with the video tbh. Might just be the honami in me coming out lol
33:38 note that although those cards are initially exclusive, they get added into the gacha pool after several months have passed :)
Ah that's pretty cool then, thanks for the info
turn your note speed up..turn your note speed up......TURN UR NOTE SPEED UP!!!!!!!
6:12 Actually because of it’s really simple, easy to pick up user interface the actually hard charts are physically way more insane than most other rhythm games. Because of it’s not really lane-fixed format the sliders can also be really creative but those kinds of sliders are mostly in Expert in Master (so it would make sense that a player playing mostly in hard wouldn’t get to appreciate them)
Yeah in retrospect I spoke a bit prematurely calling it easier than other games despite only playing hard for the most part. I've tried some more extreme charts since writing and your description makes sense of it

Literally the only reason I got this game was so I could play a rhythm game. That was it. It turned out there was a LOT of extra stuff that was pretty cool I guess, but it wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted a mobile vocaloid rhythm game

...WONDERHOY!
Nobody talks about the deepness of Ichika’s personality, she’s had to live with her best friends all ignoring her and one of her friend that’s (probably) somewhere on the brink of death AND SHE DOESNT KNOW WHYY like Shiho and Honami could’ve just told her something but SHE’S HAD TO LIVE FOR MONTHS WITH BARELY ANY FRIENDS AND HER BEST FRIENDS IGNORING HER FOR (to her) NO REASON AT ALL!?!? And she still manages to just be a normal person and go to school everyday and like not completely break down😭 She’s one of my favourites i love her so much 😭😭😭😭😭
yeah honestly playing more of the event stories I sorta do see it now lol. I appreciate her in the game more now than before.
the editing and the quality of the video is really good! i agree with most of the points, though i dont think the gacha aspect is that bad. the game is pretty generous in that sense compared to other gachas. either way, im hoping for more videos from you! i really enjoyed this one
I have been told it's more generous and retrospectively, there are definitely worse gachas out there lol. Admittedly it's more personal bias against gachas as a revenue system, but I realize, for the most part, it's possible to enjoy the game without ever touching the gacha if it's just rhythm game people are here for.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
I liked the story, I think there nice addition, mostly cause I read the full things of all stories
I have some issues retrospectively but because of how they're handled, I'd rather have them than not, they're much better than I was expecting. N25 went much deeper than I thought it would
5:27 Kaai Yuki was a vocaloid voiced by a literal child. There is one producer ikubakunori (I think thats how you spell it) who uses her solely, and there are some Fire songs like Lag Train

23:20 My first impressions of Mafuyu were pretty much the kind of person that would say "If you stare into the void, the void will stare back."
wow. i thought i just watched a video from a creator with at least 1 mil subscribers. loved this!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
30:46 Regarding the scoring system in MVP during co-op where it only relies on the team strength, actually the devs had make another option of gameplay to take care of this. Idk whether it's on global yet but it has been for awhile in JP server. There's this thing called Rank Match. So basically it's like a duel. You would be paired with other random player, picked random song with random difficulties. Don't worry the randomness of song choice would not be out of your rhythm game ability radar. Like I'm sure I would fail miserably for Master song level 32 above but the game never picked those songs to me. It also would not choose songs that would be too easy for you too. I can FC most on Expert Level hence they never gave Easy or Normal difficulties to me. The scoring is simple where at the end your total Perfect notes is timed 4, great timed 3, good x2, bad x1, and miss x0. The one who gets higher point wins. If you win, you'll get a batch, and if you lose you lost a batch. It also got trophies (don't remember how many) classified as bronze, silver, gold, platinum, etc. Each trophies has 4 level with 5 badges each. So technically every trophies have 20 batch. It works like rating system. The 3 first gameplay is to determine where's your initial trophy placement. If the result is quite good, you can be placed quite high. But remember you can win and loss, so at the end of each season there's a possibility your placement is lower than your initial placement. Each season occurs for a month if I remember correctly. There's also reward depends on your final placement.
Thanks for letting me know about this it's very informative for a future revisit
The seasons definitely last longer than a month
@@emerygrey1582 Ah yes it was the pre season for the first launch on the game that was for 1 month. Ty for the correction.
Btw the game chooses the song difficulty based on your tier in the rank match. You also need to fc a certain number of expert or master songs. So if youre in the highest tier possible, you will only get difficulty 30+ since most of the masters resides there
as a person who's been playing rhythm games(mostly mobile) almost their entire life, is heavily into vocaloid, and has barely touched the gacha genre, this game rly just found a way into my heart :'))
i first heard of this game before it was released through an old friend, and thought of maybe downloading it,,, and i finally did in july 2022 and oh boy i GENUINELY thought i was going to simply play the rhythm game part of it and ignore the gacha and other stories, and i did for a few months,, until another friend of mine decided to pull on a gacha for me and it was honestly a rabbit hole from there HAHA i started with grinding for 4* cards that i thought looked rly cool/pretty, to actually trying to read other stories and events that weren't only VBS and N25, just so i had more of a reason to want cards of other characters
and lo and behold i became attached to certain characters and just the whole thing of vocaloids helping people out in the game(it resonated with me as vocaloid is such a huge part of my life) i already loved playing the rhythm game itself with its rather simple interface and the fact that i knew a LOT of the songs and artists in the selection and just wAAA i didn't expect this dumb little game to mean this much to me now, and i don't regret downloading it :'DD
the whole "idol gacha rhythm game" genre is still not my type (i've downloaded bandori before but got too intimidated with the amount of stuff shoved at me so i uninstalled), but project sekai managed to make it easier for me to understand it a little more :D i will heavily agree tho the amount of currencies are annoying and are still annoying to me *cries* i don't even use a solid 1/4th of the currencies,,, and the thing with scores being solely based on the cards instead of skill😭, i used to be so pissed when i'd fc a song and all i get is a C, but the more i played, the less i paid attention to the scores tbh LOL i still find it a bit weird but e h, i've eventually accepted that it's how it works and had fun grinding my cards instead
very well made video btw
rui and emu undiagnosed adhd so real
As someone who hasn't played project sekai and is a fully devote d4dj player this video was super fun to watch! Thanks for making watchable even if you don't have any knowledge on project sekai.
As a D4DJ player I am uber happy to see people actually criticize this game as it usually never happens. Also if your looking for another gacha idol rhythm game to rip to shreds D4DJ is a beautiful mess of game which people (like myself) love to hate and hate to love. It's pretty wacky all things considered.
I've had a work colleague blast music from D4DJ on the loudspeakers so I think I'll look into it soon then lol
tbh my biggest gripe w pjsk is the gacha system. they’re so stingy with currency that i would often go multiple events without being able to pull. it’s also practically impossible to get. a featured character, and the pity system resets after every event. i’ve probably gotten a total of 2 featured characters, only one limited, and i’ve pulled on, like, a hundred. it’s hard to even get a 4*.
i just saw a vid where a girl pulled on the evillous banner 170 times and got 2 4*s and only one was the limited one. they don’t even make up for it by letting you choose which card you want, so you may not even get the one you’re pulling for.
Really enjoyed this video 🙏 I've been a Vocaloid fan since I was 9 years old but never played Project Sekai so this was a really interesting video to watch!
i started for the vocaloids and i thought mafuyu was a funky lil fucked up gal, and then i ended up a major shinonome enthusiast in love with the vocals for rui mizuki and nene.
also, i was incredibly hyped when they commissioned niru kajitsu like i was so excited. every so often theyll add a song to the game and ill go "ohhh, i havent heard this one ! this is great, im going to listen to it more outside the game" and thats the story behind me rediscovering hiiragikirai.
i do kinda agree the amount of menu layers and currencies are a mess but i think ive gotten used to it by now.
on topic of the gacha: i kind of use it as a motive to keep playing regularly. i often find myself falling out of stride in games without a clear objective or further progress, so the fact that i can get by on my mastery 5 3stars well enough, but i could ALSO log in to get more crystals for enas birthday gacha... thats the extra dose of motivation that gets me logging in past my chronic lack of energy
As a casual and first time player of any rhythm game the currency was overwhelming so I just stuck to reading story and playing the game. Everything made more sense as I played more and more. Ngl the characters in the intro stories are not done very well but since it set them up for so much development later it was pretty worth it watching them grow 😊
In the summer of 2023(end of June I think) there will be a colorfes and with it a game mode called rank matches in which you’re skill is tested to your maxim potential and your score is based on skill not cards, it’s really fun and would definitely recommend you to try it out when it comes out on global!
Seen the rank mode mentioned here and there but didn't know a date, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you
Tbh I started pjsekai when the second an focused event happened I started cuz of her and the vocaloids (Kanade became one of my other favorite the more I played) and I gotta admit yeah alot of these I can relate too but I got pass of it the more I played
I wouldn't say I'm a dedicated player but I do play alot since I do like some characters more than others so I play for them
The charms make me mad the most doe I have to keep on getting them and they run out so fast since I need them to use to unlock side stories for some cards (4 to 5 2* stars in and getting charms really tick me off)
Gems (like the bigger ones) are fine since I wouldn't use them alot
At this point I bought all the fucking songs and full combo 97% of them on expert mode already (level 31 songs are hard okay).I’m only saving up for Niigo and WxS cards and I only read niigo event stories cause I like them also cause Mizuki and Mafuyu are relatable to me
they probably need a lot of permissions from the team that made the og mvs and theres still so many songs without og mvs with that said, its really a gacha game in its core. also the 300 pity is a pain in the ass 😂
what i like about prsk is that i get to play songs that would never officially be on project diva and it makes me happy seeing composers get commissioned by the staff.
my friend played for the seiyuus and i played for vocaloid so i love sharing info about the composers. to me, it's a project filled with love and it revived vocaloid exponentially imo.
hell, they brought back toa from a long hiatus. they're hosting competitions for music and art! it's a project where they encourage you to keep creating the core value of vocaloid!
they made everyone love miku again. my friend started getting more miku merch because of how much she loves the game.
i think im just too emo for loving vocaloid this long.
This is one of those things I wish I actually talked about because I think the level of reinvigoration Sekai pumped into Vocaloid kinda has to be studied. As much as I don't exactly like the game, I gotta commend how its handling Vocaloid in the grander scheme of things, because I don't think I've seen a greater passion for energizing a community in this way in a long while. Its great stuff.
btw idk if you know this, but playing co-ops gives you around i think twice the rewards you would get from playing on your own, which is why even though co-op can be quite (really) bland it's very useful if you wanna level up quick and waste less time.
I did NOT know this, thank you
First!!1!
Good job on the video, dude✨👏
This video is so well made and summarizes it pretty easily 😭
Also.. PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA (Loved the little persona parts 🤭)
i want an ACTUAL. NEW. diva game so bad
I do too and another port of Arcade isn't enough
@@mau1368 fr :(
@Gabs Villalobos sekai is nothing like project diva tho-
and yeah, ppl didnt really like diva X, but i loved it! the new songs and the story mode.. so good!
Kinda late to the vid so I don't know if it was on purpose but:
Airi's voice actor was actually in Love Live so the joke goes full circle.
Nightcord pretty much dragged me into the game cause of the story. Especially Mafuyu
I am now falling victim to this after my friend fell victim to it and got me into their stories. Please send help...
I have played this game on and off since the western release came out and I've just skipped all the story stuff, the descriptions you had for the groups made me laugh. I should probably check them out sometime 😆
I just need to vent my frustration with this game.
I saw some YTers I like play the game and I wanted to try it. Everything was going fine for a long time. Sometime in last summer, the performance just dropped. Now my phone is old, but if I can run Star Rail and it lags way less and rarely crashes, where as Project Sekai it’s more common to lag more than not and I’ve crashed numerous times while just watching the story. Why does watching text scroll and pngs that barely move make my phone more hot than playing hours of Honkai Star Rail? Virtual lives have been bugged for like 4+ months now. Most of the time I just ignore them because they’re at like 2am. On the rare occasion where I don’t have to ruin my sleep schedule to catch them, it lags EVERYONE out and we wouldn’t get any rewards sometimes. I think for a while they just gave up and gave people the full rewards instead of partial even though the text still says, “partial rewards”. The buttons also don’t work while I’m the virtual live. I just gave up and downloaded Bandori and what do you know? It works perfectly fine. At this point I’m just playing for the story because I really like it. Now it’s getting crazy how much more monetization is getting added ONTOP of freaking gacha that’s apparently only in the EN version.
After looking some stuff up, it seems like the team working on EN is either VERY small, new, overworked or all 3. I can’t really blame the devs if it’s any of the 3 above, but it’s just annoying.
I think your device just has issues with Project Sekai, dude. Same with mine, i dont have any issues with Pjsk, but i have a hard time even opening the loading screen for Star Rail. So i think it's more of a compatibility than the game actually having issues. But i might be wrong. Who knows, i just dont think too much about it sorry
for ichika, she isn’t supposed to be a nothing character she is a very introverted person who overthinks and blames herself for everything bad happening in the freind group, and she just has a hard time expressing herself
I've heard she's elaborated upon in the event stories which is good, because I know what you say is true and I don't think Leo/needs main story does her justice lol
@@mau1368 yeah i agree
@@mau1368 lol yeah the main stories are just elaborations to the characters. the bill of story in games like sekai (bandori, d4dj, enstars, etc) are in the event stories
I remember when I started playing, I strived to get into at least the top 100 in events. But as someone who doesn't pay for gems I've given up getting there at this point. I just can't get and level up the latest gacha as fast as people who use real currency. Closest I've ever gotten was Top 3000 in the second event over a year ago.
17 out of 26 characters get any real character.
The VOCALOIDs aren't supposed to have any canon personalities but they could easily write them well and tell everyone that the personalities in the game are not canon.
As for some characters who don't have a lot of character like Kanade, Airi, An, and maybe Ena... I'm not going to say anymore.
I do have mixed feelings about Sekai, though. I do genuinely think it's the most fun mobile/gacha rhythm game I've ever played. And the art and VA work is fantastic. But... Well, it pisses me off sometimes.
The fact that this video is 39:39 minutes long is amazing.
the main reason i hate project sekai is because people think the vocaloids are originally from project sekai and know absolutley nothing about vocaloid.
The new generations "what anime is Hatsune miku from"
i've never seen a single person who thinks that
@@ariseri this dudes fr reaching
@@baylef fr people complain about it all the time but not a single person really thinks that
Wow the game is more famous than i thought
just wait til he gets up to the "you'll never become a star" part of wxs
Honestly, the story makes sense from a hardcore miku fan stance. If you know about the nuances of vocaloid producers and their reasonings for making music, backstory, etc, suddenly the characters make sense
This video is SOOOOOOOO good!! You nailed everything I don't like about this game LOL. Yes, some parts are pretty good, but like... I gotta say. Project DIVA solos.
Watching this video 11 months after it got uploaded made me realize how little content PJSK used to be. As someone who is in love with rhythm games but almost knows nothing about vocaloid, more so because i didn't grow up with it in my childhood. Project Sekai literally dragged me into knowing more about vocaloid than my sister (who is a fan of vocaloid music) ever could.
Listening to your (almost outdated) criticism about this game clearly miffed me a bit, but it's still oddly interesting to listen to. I learned about this game when i was still a middle schooler who only has discord and anime as my comforter from my harsh and dull reality, and i admit my first impression of the game is not that great either but it's probably due to me playing the game with the Japanese version instead of the global version at first, and because of that i dont understand a thing (my mistake on that part). I thought the game was a waste of my time, but somehow, i gave it another chance (with the correct version, of course).
And it absolutely grows on me. The stories, the characters, and its system in general made me love PJSK as a whole. Maybe it's because im still a teen, but the characters and their story are so relatable to me that i instantly got attached to the majority of the PJSK characters. And this is one of the things where i feel miffed about your review. Is that the gameplay is by no means easy, oh no, it's getting more painfully hard by the day (proof of JPSEKAI's hell charts), and because of that, it kept me entertain by having to hurt my thumbs everytime i have to play a lvl28 charts just to get rewards so i can get my desired (gacha) cards in the future 💀.
I dont know how it happened, but because i got to know about PJSK the way i did a year and a half ago, i now became obsessed with this game that it became slightly unhealthy (im dealing with it-) and i know alot more about vocaloid and its producers with their community. I'm honestly not sure why i like this game in the first place other than its feeding my need to gamble on pulling for pretty png cards and feeling accomplished whenever i got an A/S and getting FC when i finished a song, but it will always has a special place in my heart.
I'm late but comments like these are immensely insightful to the community that plays this game, and I see it somewhat diferently now because of them. Thank you for watching!
Tbh your point on gems are a bit too harsh
Yes they look like each other but game gives you all of them quite equally and you kinda hardly need them anyway
I agree with their distribution and lack of real use, but imo that in itself is an issue/redundancy. If you hardly need them then why are they there to begin with? I understand it's to grind for those who want to but it deters me from engaging with the rest of the games systems because stuff needs one specific currency because...reasons
Personally, having the player choose carefully what they want from multiple things with a more centralised currency system would be more engaging and memorable for them, as they'd think more carefully towards what they're actually getting from purchases instead of the equivalent of filling a quota for something specific.
That's just me though, I appreciate the feedback
@@mau1368 As a year long player i personally never really cared about them as they pile up quite fast
Seems to be the case for most other players too!
I cracked up when you described the N25 group as the big sad
how can you play with that speed???
Aha...too slow or too fast?
I played around with the settings before the rhythm game starts and that's been my sweet spot for while
@@mau1368 that looked very slow, I play at 10.3
Well as said before, it's been like that a while and I haven't felt the need to change it. I wanna see what I'm going up against for the most part, as well as learning the charts.
@@mau1368 I mean I give kudos to you for playing at the speed
I play with a 11.5 speed which is a very normal speed time for me. Then the others occasionally.
my only goal in prsk: get the no seek no find saki card
MY ICHICKA NOOOOO 😭😭😭
I love mmjs story a lot glad you liked it
34:45 LITTLE BIG PLANET
MIZUKI IS YOUR FAV HELL YEAH
project sekai is clearly not all about the rhythm game part, so your skill does not matter that much (unfortunately), that’s why your team/cards determine your score. your accuracy, full comboing and all perfecting songs should be more focused on in the rhythm game aspect
thank you for giving it a chance!
also WAIT THIS IS COOL 8:16
Nobody talking about how the length of the video is 39:39
"If its not better than apex"
as a apex player who also loves colorful stage this is so funny
I hate the cards determining the scores it’s so unnecessary but the art is very nice and you can see how much they’ve improved, great vid bro
For a gacha card event based game like this it’s a huge part of it, so I’d say it’s very necessary
great video!! Personally, Project Sekai introduced me to vocaloid annnddd IT'S SOO GOOD!!! The community, the creativity, THE MUSIC ?!! Anyway I totally agree with the "too many currency" problem, it's confusing...ALSO where is Mizuki's dedicated part ??! I really wanna know why they are you favorite character!
mizuki moment coming SOON
(theyre a silly)
about what you where saying at around 34:58- I don’t know if this was a feature when you were playing but currently birthday and event shows usually span over about 2 days and host shows hourly during that period
For me I don't really play project sekai to much because it's slow and never loads, but I do like the art and the covers
It's one that's still standing even though so many games in the same genre have been shutting down lately (cries in show by rock fan)
Looks like someone never played Superstar games (Idk if it's for all Superstar games or just Superstar Loona but whatever) THAT is slow. It seems like the game takes forever to load. Sometimes it took me 4 minutes to enter. And EVERY FRICKING TIME you want to go to the main screen you ALSO HAVE TO WAIT FOR FOREVER.
i mean not project sekai but show by rock was really bad sometimes it took up to 5 minutes to get past the loading screen if a lot of players where on @@saerenity
Tbh i stopped playing because maybe i was doing something wrong but leveling up my cards just took to long for it to be fun.. plus, it's so annoying that people will just disconnect because they didn't get the song they want in co-op. Like,, if you only want to play one specific song play it by yourself??? Right now i play d4dj and sometimes enstars. For some reason the characters in those games are also more interesting to me than the ones in proseka idk
There has to be some sort of punishment for quitting coop for not getting a song you wanted tbh that's annoying.
And yeah you're not alone in levelling up cards, with the energy boost multipliers they're pretty easy to level up at the start but even with them maxed out, you'll hit a point where it'll slow down alot. Having a goldfish attention span didn't help either so I just kinda trudged through it
@@mau1368Actually, if you disconnect too many times within a time period, the game bans you from going back into Co-Op for a while. If you do it too many times, I'm pretty sure your account can be banned (but it would take a LOT of times to get there)
19:24 OK BUT WHY DID THAT KINDA SCARE ME THO
The main purpose of Wish Pieces is to Rank-up characters. Nobody uses them to exchange for other stuff it would be a waste.
31:19
I've literally died in this game and gotten MVP. (I have lots of four stars 👹)
My ego shrinks by the day
27:27 lmao I love gatcha music… that’s how they get ya lol.
I played this game how I play every other rhythm game: buy the songs I like and try to full combo my entire library while touching literally nothing else. It’s really fun on the actual rhythm game side, but I laughed a little when I got a full combo on extreme “disappearance of hatsune miku” and got a c rank at the same time as an achievement literally called carpel tunnel
15:50 my friend that’s an ichoka fan would actually die if you said that to her 😅 (I kinda agree tho)
I'm not sure if you already know this, but the Live Show does appear for different time zones throughout the day.
for me when i first play this i thought this is going to be hell but this is amazing the timing in this game is almost perfect and when i try to do hard i almost win but when i keep playing this i began to go first try every mode not every only on hard mode because thats my limit and my final opinion of this game is a must play also you can enchant your tapping speed and exercise your thumbs and reaction speed
the "gay" on miku voice hahahahhahaha
The best way to enjoy this game without getting hooked up on all the in game currencies is to skip all the stories, I legit do not know the names of most characters because I know that if I don't form an attachment via the story I will have less reason to obsess over getting 4* of certain characters. I can play the game as much as I want. The score system doesnt matter if you just wanna play a rhythm game. ONLY thing that keeps me back is the Music Cards, because if you want all the songs you need to buy some of them, and you cant buy them with crystals. The events and grinding the ranks etc is the only way. Took me a few days to finally get all of wowaka's songs in the game.
Actually the sekais are formed from the collective groups feelings apart from wonderlandxshowtime and nightcoord where they were created by tsukasa and mafuyu respectively
I realized that I think you like Honami, right?
Honamis the sweetest character in this game idk how anyone can hate her
@@mau1368 and yet there's honami hate clubs
I love her 😭
@@mau1368 Slayed
@@mau1368ppl for some reason says that she's a pick me girl even tho she literally so sweet and i like her character very much
You need to up the speed on the settings to have better gameplay
Moved up to 10.5 now and yeah you're right lol I can't even look at this video anymore
honestly, the thing that annoys me the most in this game is the concept of sekais itself. i find the whole "emotions giving birth to songs" thing a little underwhelming, because one of my favorite parts of idol franchises is seeing how the characters come up with songs. it's one of the reasons i didn't play the game when it first came out, but i was pleasantly surprised at how catchy some of the music actually is.
LETS GO MIZUKI GANG!!!
Anyways, I play on the Japanese version both because I wanted to play it before the English version got announced...and because doing so keeps me from being tempted to spend actual money on this game.
hey does anyone have the link to the video at 36:01 ? i can't find it 😭
I...can't find it either. Nor any full videos of the whole concert anymore (just a playlist), so I'm going to assume Colorful Palette went on a takedown spree of some kind
@@mau1368 ah that's okay, thanks for trying!!
i don’t really like this game but i’m emotionally attached to thr characters and my cards 😭
39:39 is a real one
It’s late so I’m not gonna write much but what I will say this as a project sekai player I actually really liked this video. I actually liked how you too a more critical (or cynical) look at the game instead of just saying it’s the best thing in the world (I’m not saying project sekai fans or others are like that tho). I definitely agree with you on your takes on the main stories and specifically LN and Ichika, I get she gets more development in the event stories which is nice but she just stills feels like a nothing burger of a character compared to characters like Tenma, Mafuyu, Mizuki, and Saki and Shiho (I think that’s her name??) from her own band. And when it comes to the story and characters as a whole they just kinda feel…eh. Like just…eh. Excluding the vocaloids the only three characters in the whole cast of characters which I actually like are Mizuki, Haruka, and Mafuyu. Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t see much of the attachment factors in the other characters. I had more to say but maybe I’ll say it later in a different comment.
Tbf I haven't finished any of the stories besides LN yet theyre all more interesting to me. I get Ichi is supposed to be a self insert cause she's a huge Miku fan but thats all she has for character in that story. I think the characters are more interesting than the actual stories for the most part, almost none feel like wasted space so far. For something I was expecting complete boredom out of, I enjoyed what I got.
I wished I talked more about that component of the game but I feel weird knowing thats the longest part of this video tbh
IM SO GLAD U LIKE TSUKASA YIPPEEEE
super unrelated but holy shit this video’s length is 39:39
