Review update after finished the game:

Before I give my review I want to give disclaimer:
1. This game only support Japanese, Korea, and Chinese language so if you want truly enjoy the game learn those language

2. If you want to play the game but not understand Japanese at all you can play the game with bruce force that is using google translation (google lens)

3. Okay you might be don’t understand Japanese in written skill but you understand what Japanese spoken you can still enjoy the game just like I however you still need google translate in order to choose the right answer for communication section

4. This is the last thing if you want to enjoy the game using a patch you can find it by your own

For the review:

Impression:
Like I mention before this is my first IdolM@ster game on console quality my previous Idolm@ster I played only Million Live and Cinderella Girls so I never play any IdolM@ster series with console quality and as a reminder this game is difficult and kinda frustrating but at the same time this game feels so much fun and enjoyable

You are the producer:
In this game we play as producer who just returned from America to Japan and as a producer the player job is to produce the idols from lesson such as vocal, dancing, and visual then we need to guide the idols to make a better oshigoto (job) and finally debut as know as live.

Debut (Live):
In debut there are three modes, reach the score, ranking, medley, and VS rival. To reach the score you must reach the score on the live show, then for the ranking you must beat another competitor, usually the competitors are around 20 or 10 units, next for.the medley you just need to sing three songs and lastly for the rival you need to out score your rival score points.

This is not a rhythm game:
This is a simulation game focus on story and see the development of your idols so don’t expect this game to be like Osu or Hatsune miku sure there is a live but this game is more focus on story and development

Overall:
This game is Amazing it took about 55 hours for me to beat the game and this is probably the best IdolM@ster game that ever released too bad this might be the last debut for 765Pro members since the Seiyuu (voice actor) of the game is doing their job since the first game if I not mistake the first IdolM@ster released around 2005 or 2006 and yes this is sad but I hope the original members of 765Pro still continues in IdolM@ster series.

Thank you so much Bandai Namco and ILCA,Inc. For releasing an Amazing game I always support the developer no matter what region of the developer as long the developer make a good game I always support the developer of the game once again thank you so much Bandai Namco and ILCA, Inc.

Final Score 9,5/10
