My First Look At: Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+
If anyone here has been wondering what's been eating up all my free time recently, it's been this game..
"Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+"
I don't know if I've mentioned this here, but my three favorite game types are actually ARPGs, Fighting Games and Rhythm games!
And now I've found a really fun Rhythm game with Fashion elements!
Clearing songs, and improving your scores gets you points that you can use to unlock new outfits for the various characters, and there are a TON of choices:
Not only that, but you can even mix and match outfits and hair styles, to find something you think suits the look better.
(This changes the hair, and some face features such as makeup)
You'll have multiple accessory slots as well, and you can attach one item in each spot to further customize your look:
(Some of these are very silly, But they're fun to try out!)
I'ts really fun to try out various custom outfits when playing songs!
You only get 4 'Custom slots' but for songs that have multiple singers, you'll be able to edit all of them, still only taking up a single slot.
The game only has one standard 'mode', with a few difficulty options.
But you'll also have the option to practice specific parts,
or you can watch a 'music video' of the song, where it plays its self with the hud removed. (show in the above gif)
As for the characters... I was never much of a miku fan before,
Only hearing a few songs in other games, I never sought out her content.
And while I won't break down all the characters, I will talk about my impressions of Hatsune Miku.
One game is not much to go on, but she definitely feels like one of those “Universal Appeal” characters, I'm by no means bother by that.
But it just means they can't really give her any kind of personality,
On the other hand, it is nice to know that means they don't simply confine her to sticking with one style for her songs.
The game offers a wide range of Vocaloid music, each with a (swappable) lead singer.
And even though Miku's song's are mostly cute and up beat, there are a few edgier and slightly darker ones too.
So I'd argue my opinion of Miku has improved overall, as before, I'd really only hear her more popular hits in 'Taiko no Tasujin', and just seeing her posted everywhere as gifs and avatars, I'm not sure if I'd call myself a 'huge Miku fan' but I am enjoying this game.

And, as for what character I played the most..
Well, If you've followed my content for any amount of time,
You probably already know what type of characters I generally gravitate to:
It looks like Meiko is supposed to be the 'Cool Girl'/Mature Character, But much of her outfit selection feels a bit off to me:
(sorry for the small preview, it's just for reference)
It looks like they wanted to give here the tomboy style personality, but they don't really have any outfits that match that,
(...Okay, maybe I'm just projecting the personality I want on to her, but the But this game does not really give you a whole lot to go on..)
Lots of 'cute' outfits, with only a few mature ones thrown in,
(And some of the mature ones honestly feel a little generic)
And then there's stuff like these, feels like the start of a good outfit, but then goes a little off the rails... (they look way too busy)
I have no problems with offering revealing outfits as an option,
I've play games using some myself. But I just don't personally find these visually appealing.
It really feels like they were too afraid to branch out with her outfit styles
I really feel they should have given her better variety, or at least a specific style that stood out more from the rest.
I'm not even sure what's going on with here 'modern' outfit (left)
I feel they could have used some of the cool designs from luka (right)
But anyways, I really don't know anything about Vocaloid culture,
maybe I missed the point, and this all perfectly fits Meiko's personality, IDK, (let me know in the comments)
..But I still work have preferred more options.
---
Anyway, I've still been having a blast playing this game!
and even though the fashion elements are fairly light, I still enjoyed them.
Oh and just as a disclaimer, I was using a few QOL mods in this post,
So be aware that some things (like having English subs) may be different from the vanilla game!
Anyways, thanks for reading!
(comments/constructive criticism is always welcome!)
