AC Lincle: Difference between revisions

* This is the first arcade beatmania IIDX game since [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ Yoshitaka]]'s debut in [[AC IIDX RED|IIDX RED]] with no song by him on the default songlist.

** Also the first beatmania IIDX game since [[AC substream|substream]] with no [[Tatsuya Furukawa|good-cool]] songs.

* First arcade beatmania IIDX game since [[AC DistorteD|DistorteD]] where [[Toshiyuki Kakuta]] has no new songs under his L.E.D. alias on the default songlist.

* Lincle and [[AC jb copious|jubeat copious]] were released the same day in Japan (September 15th, 2011), marking the first time in 9 years two BEMANI titles are released on the same day. (The last time occurred with [[AC DDRMAX2|DDRMAX2]] and [[AC 7th style|7th style]] in March 2002.)

* First beatmania IIDX game to not feature local high score tables for STANDARD or EXPERT.

* Total songs: 704

* EX HARD option. Similar to HARD option, but one MISS will decrease the groove gauge by 18%. Appears as a yellow groove gauge.

* EX DAN GAUGE option. Enabled by holding down VEFX and EFFECT after course selection until it begins. Similar to regular Dan course gauge, but excess POORs reduce gauge by 5% and it is no longer more lenient under 30%. Yellow, just like EX HARD.

These songs were unlocked to promote both the release of the ''beatmania IIDX visual emotions 9'' DVD and [[Tatsuya Shimizu|Tatsh]]'s [[MATERIAL]] album.

When playing STANFARD, by fulfilling the conditions below within a four-song playset, fragment pieces can be obtained. When enough fragments have been collected, the boss song will be available as the fifth stage. If beaten, the song will be unlocked for normal play.<br>

** <s>Choose all songs from the same style folder. Each folder will be counted once only.</s>

** <s>Choose songs that have the exact same genre (i.e. Drum'N'Bass and Drum & Bass do not work).</s>

** <s>Choose songs that all have the exact same artist (i.e. L.E.D. and L.E.D.-G will not work).</s>

** Earn a "feather" on each of the previous boss songs. The difficulty available for this song is dependent on which difficulty you have a feather on for the previous bosses. (For example, if you have a feather on the NORMAL charts for Mamonis, Ashemu, and Bulluvegola but no feathers for the HYPER/ANOTHER charts, only the NORMAL chart will be playable).

* NORMAL: EX HARD CLEAR with at least an A

* HYPER: EX HARD CLEAR with at least a AA

* ANOTHER: EX HARD CLEAR with a AAA

If the player has obtained one companion, each song may be cleared with either HARD or EX-HARD on. If the player has obtained two companions, no HARD guage is required for each song. In addition, if an amulet is obtained from the Lincle Shop and equipped, the grade requirement for each difficulty tier is lowered by one grade.<br>

** <s>Choose songs that all have the same number of letters. Each number will be counted once only. [See Remarks]</s>

** <s>Choose songs with notecounts in the same range by hundreds (i.e. 100-199, 200-299). Each range of hundreds will only counted once.</s>

** <s>Choose any song on the first stage, and for the succeeding stages choose songs that begin with the last letter of the previous song except for the final stage, where you choose the song that ends with the first letter of the first stage, forming a loop. Each starting letter will be counted once only. [See Remarks]

*** For example, Elisha→Aegis→sync→Colorful Cookie forms a loop with "E" as the starting letter. Any loops in the future starting with the letter "E" will not work.<br>

** Obtain all other eight Lincle Kingdom boss songs.
