AC PENDUAL: Difference between revisions

'''01/21/2014 UPDATE:''' You can now buy from the game website the ''Moonlight Hologram'' items that fully unlock the Chrono Seeker songs that ''you have unlocked'' during the event. For the players who have fully finished the event, this is the only way to permanently unlock the three Devil boss songs.

Chrono Seeker is the first unlock event of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, which started on October 1st, 2014 and ended on December 21st, 2014. It shows up at the end of a credit on STANDARD when playing one-player. e-amusement is required to play the event.

The main objective is to unlock new charts by collecting crystal shards. In order to do this, you need to fulfill certain phase-specific unlock conditions, which are listed below. There are conditions for each color: blue (NORMAL), yellow (HYPER), and red (ANOTHER). When a crystal is materialized, the respective chart is unlocked. The crystal rows, which show up at the end of a play session, are divided between [[Chronos (character)|Chronos]] (left side) and [[Kairos]] (right side); these must be unlocked in order from top to bottom. Crystals obtained during the PRESENT Phase appear on Chronos' side, while the FUTURE Phase ones appear on Kairos'.

The four Chrono Seeker songs can be unlocked in ''both'' Phases. Therefore, if you start the event in the future phase, Chrono Seeker songs will be unlocked in the future, and the revival/CS songs in the present phase. The only differences between the two phases are the reuirements. Requirements are satisfied regardless or passing or failing the songs. (It's also possible to multiple multiple crystals in one session depending on requirements.) Once you unlock a Chrono Seeker chart on either side, it will appear in a special CHRONO SEEKER on the next play session on FINAL STAGE (or EXTRA STAGE on PASELI). You ''must'' play the newly unlocked song before you can proceed to the next crystal row; at least one completely crystal is required. Once two crystals of the same color are completed on the same row, the respective Chrono Seeker chart permanently appears on regular play. This also unlocks the respective hidden revival / CS crossover Transplant for regular play too, as well, whose available difficulty chart depends on which Chrono Seeker chart you have fully unlocked on both Crystal row sides.
