We've got submission. "Some movements about Idol Master 2. Firstly, fans are launching a campaign to collect signatures for: (1)Resume Ryuuguu Komachi group to playable. (2)Cancel the Jupiter (3)Cancel the election race (4)Resume Online Play. At the end of September over 8,500 people particapted in the campaign. According to the organizer, they will give the signatures directly to the developer, and protest against BANDAI NAMCO GAMES, Mircosoft and Columbia Music Entertainment CEO. Secondly, the maker has announced the result of the 1st election race. The linkage to CD sales and election method had been changed. We can vote from mobile site and CD sales no longer matter. Restored idols appear in the list for elect. And the full chorus by all idols is added. Idol Master 2 created problem of voice actors, but it was a successful game, hope it won't end like this."

The 3rd request of the signature campaign: Cancel the election race, has been fulfilled by changing the election method huh. |
![]() |
How do you think about the campaign? |
![]() |
Not a big deal, but their request is too much. |
![]() |
Really? |
![]() |
Cancel the Jupiter male idol group is just a restriction to creativity. |
![]() |
What is the standard for such actions? |
![]() |
They should not as for cancel. The company invested money to create characters and hire voice actors, just impossible to cancel any of them. |
![]() |
So how should they request? |
![]() |
They should ask for more features to be added. That is a merit for both users and company. For example, resume the restored characters to playable. |
![]() |
They should do that for online play too. |
![]() |
Doubt about that. |
![]() |
Why? |
![]() |
BANDAI NAMCO knows the result of online service. If that is profitable they must had adopted in IM2. But they have not, maybe the fact is only a few people try online play. |
![]() |
Huh. |
![]() |
And there is one more problem for online. |
![]() |
Namely? |
![]() |
Just like SQUARE ENIX's FINAL FANTAST XIV, they have no online-related developer to make it. |
![]() |
No developer!? |
![]() |
SQUARE ENIX and BANDAI NAMCO GAMES fired many staff last year so maybe they lost the talent for online. And they can't afford to grow some new staff. |
![]() |
Restoration of staff is a big problem. |
![]() |
And the target of the campaign is just crazy. |
![]() |
Give the signatures to game developer and protest against BANDAI NAMCO GAMES, Mircosoft and Columbia Music Entertainment CEO. |
![]() |
Mircosoft is not related isn't it... |
![]() |
Yep... |
![]() |
Columbia Music Entertainment CEO is just another unrelated person. The CEO don't even know what the hell is going on. They should just focus on the developers and BANDAI NAMCO GAMES CEO. Just don't make any trouble please. |
![]() |
Columbia Music Entertainment is responsible for CD sales, but that's no longer a problem now. |
![]() |
They should protest against BANDAI NAMCO GAMES CEO? |
![]() |
His company, his business. I don't think he would accept those request. He want to make a complete edition. |
![]() |
...... |
![]() |
They need to launch the game before March 2011, can't change anything for now. BNGI is a cancer of BANDAI NAMCO GROUP, they must make a good result in this fiscal year so impossible for postpone. |
![]() |
Oh... |
![]() |
You guys should wait for a complete version. |
![]() |
Would that really happen? |
![]() |
Should be. They would just say they have heard users' opinion and kindly make a complete version by users' request. |
![]() |
Possible... |
![]() |
The campaign should notice if BANDAI NAMCO is using them as promotion. I feel the whole trouble of IM2 is just a should designed by BANDAI NAMCO. |
![]() |
As a marketing method on Internet, that's possible. |
![]() |
Let's look forward to the story. |
