Category talk:DanceDanceRevolution Songs with Unique Videos

Can we please stop listing DDR songs that have a few unique overlays, or that use old DDR video clips to form a video, as having "unique videos"? I've looked at the older DDR songs that have "unique" videos in Disney Channel, and they really don't. We don't this for beatmania IIDX or GITADORA, so I'm confused why we still do this for DDR. --M.B. (talk) 09:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

• While I agree, songs in post-SuperNOVA games that have their videos comprised of old DDR clips are unique, as in they are stored as one video file as far as I know. The same happens with some IIDX videos (i.e. This is Love and NZM), where the overlays are actually merged with the generic video (probably due to technical limitations with overlays), forming a unique video. I don't know if that is the case with GITADORA (i.e. for Egocentricity), will look for it.
  • NZM has a generic video but unique overlays. This is Love, Green Eyes, and D.C. Fish are stored as individual videos, similar to songs with unique videos like DXY!. Very different. Songs in IIDX or GITADORA with unique overlays but generic videos are not listed as having unique videos on this wiki, and this should also apply to DDR. Waiting For Tonight having an exclusive half-second of animation in its DDR EXTREME US video does not make it a unique video. --M.B. (talk) 12:23, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
  • I actually looked at the data and the following songs are stored as individual videos: Re:GENERATION (unique video with a MISS overlay), Miracle 5ympho X, PENDUAL TALISMAN, Highcharge Divolt, AO-1, Acid Pumper, Devil's Gear, and NZM (I might have missed some, as I only did look from tricoro to copula).

Also, some of Chrono Diver -PENDULUMs-'s overlays are embedded on a unique video, but it also has individual overlays. --FinalOffset (talk) 05:05, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

• • • The only really old song I know that embeds the overlays into its video is Beat Machine. --M.B. (talk) 13:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
    • So, should these songs be added to the Unique Videos category, considering they are in the same situation as GREEN EYES, This is Love, and D.C.fish? --FinalOffset (talk) 17:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
      • I suppose so. Doesn't No Tears also do it, too? --M.B. (talk) 03:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
      • Nah, No Tears has a regular video with (a lot of) overlays. --FinalOffset (talk) 00:57, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
    • Update: The following SINOBUZ songs also have unique videos: イザナミノナゲキ, Caterpillar, Mare Nectaris, Egret and Willow, 禍根, FUZIN RIZIN (unique video and overlays), Believe in you, GuNGNiR, Seize the Day and OTENAMI Hurricane. --FinalOffset (talk) 17:14, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
    • Update 2: I looked at the GITADORA data, and the following songs have unique videos too: Before Daybreak, Blue planet, Confession, Egocentricity, Excavation Damage, HYPER JET LAND, I Want It All, Keep Ur Dreams, photon, Piranha, Sky Runner, WILD CREATURES, You've Got 2 Get Me, 嘘, 空色デイズ, ほしふり, and モナリザ. --FinalOffset (talk) 16:08, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

--- Second opinion ---

In my opinion, DDR songs without proper unique videos (as in, video files) should be excluded from this category (anything with overlays or sequence of background animations). --FinalOffset (talk) 15:26, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Ditto, FinalOffset. --M.B. (talk) 09:38, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
