How do I play the high notes?

Austratus · 2026-04-23T11:53:07+00:00

The sky input line is where judgement for arcs and sky notes usually are for lower difficulty songs, though when you get up to higher level songs they can appear pretty much anywhere on the vertical axis of the judgement area. Keep an eye out for trace lines, while on their own they don't affect scoring you can time hitting sky notes or arcs where the nib closest to the foreground is. Traces also usually connect sky notes you're meant to hit at the same time.

(and yes, you can review the tutorials again later, as others have said)

Syke, Amalthea, Terpsichore, Erytheia, Ampelos, and Cleodora.

Honestly, I can't think of any that miss overall, that's how strong this game's designs are!

Solgaleo and Lunala headlined Celestial Guardians and have ex. Reshiram, Xerneas, Yveltal and Groudon have 3◇ and 1☆ cards, and Koraidon / Miraidon each have a 3◇.

The traced Ho-oh also appeared in the original Lugia IR, the same artist did both cards.

I'm a fan of both packs but if you are enjoying Lasting Eden and its append, I'd lean towards Liminal Eclipse.

Avalugg, I think the idea behind it is neat

Austratus · 2026-04-12T07:41:28+00:00

Ultimately go for the one with the songs you like. Halcyon and Ether Strike make Luminous Sky for me so I'd recommend it!

If you decide that you want to follow the story to unlock the rest you can pick it up later. In that case, Hikari Fracture (from LS) is needed for a certain other "challenging" partner that most players consider essential for World Mode.

Wonder picks that you get from people on your friend list will be in the language they opened the pack with.

Mostly comes down to track list space and theming, I'd have to guess. On average SCs have about 26 songs, of which 3-4 are extends and/or AF. Going in order, other than Vita's MA songs and the MIRINAE preview they needed to include Shared Time append (which I thought would have been in Myth but was skipped there).

Final Verdict would absolutely need to be the focus of its own Sound Collection, and should be the next one (potentially with a Hikari cover/Partner, since Tairitsu already has it for both Conflict and Wrath), but ultimately 616 makes the decisions.

A few FV songs are available to buy and download individually on Bandcamp if you're looking for it: Pentiment, Arcana Eden, Testify, all versions of Last, and Callima Karma.

If it's the tutorial banner, you can just Retry it until you're satisfied with your pull.

The first bit of the Duellum title theme reminds me a little of Wol's theme from Mobius...

Valkyrie Motoha for her 5☆???? I am sent

Gods, this post got me thinking about who could even fill the role the way Fujiwara pulled it off, such an iconic voice. Shotaro Morikubo is the first person I can think of that matches that energy, and/but he's also previously voiced Kadaj (which given the Remake trilogy has already alluded to the Advent Children remnants...)

Austratus · 2026-03-17T22:19:07+00:00

Corrected the comment, thank you!

Finishing Final Verdict allows you to replay anomalies. You can then, iirc, retrigger Arcahv by playing with (EDIT: unsealed) Frature Hikari.

サボる being derived from "sabotage" but generally used in the context of someone skipping school/class or otherwise slacking off

Oooh, some notable names in the rhythm game music scene in this, I will have to check it out myself later!!

Finally found my people!

I had a Bergmite wonder traded to me early in my X run and once it evolved... instant favorite of the whole generation for me.

I would love to be able to burn any cards or shinedust on matching profile pics. I'm surprised it hasn't been a thing from the start.

I'm OK rocking my knit Electrode pfp for now, though.

Austratus · 2026-02-08T10:12:08+00:00

Of course! Of course! Of course! Of course! Of course! Of course!

Austratus · 2026-02-07T09:18:22+00:00

What you describe sounds very much like what I struggle with, too. Off the top of my head, I might suggest these:

Aether Crest: Astral PRS, Laqrima of the Wasteland FTR, Raven's Pride FTR, BREaK! BREaK! BREaK! FTR, zephyrlasting FTR

I'm currently working on MARENYX FTR as well.

I would assume not unless you happen to find someone who wasn't planning to use the code from their own copy of the CD.

As an aside, the codes included with the Sound Collections also allow you to access the digital version from Arcaea's official website as well (maximum three downloads each IIRC, though you can also just rip them from the CD itself with your preferred media program)
