beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage

Release Information

• Announcement date: August 1st, 2018
• Location test dates: August 3rd to 5th, 2018
• Release date:
  • Japan and Asia: November 7th, 2018
  • Korea: November 12th, 2018
• Soundtrack release: March 20th, 2019
  • Discs three and four contain songs from beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS not released on its own soundtrack.

General Information / Changes

• The title is derived from beatmania IIDX's spin-off audio drama series ROOTS26S[suite]. "ROOTS26" itself is the name of Shem's apparel shop in the audio drama.
• HI-SPEED has been revised. There are 10 HI-SPEED settings, and the chart will now scroll at the same speed on a given HI-SPEED setting regardless of the song BPM. This is similar to REGUL-SPEED, but BPM changes will still affect the scroll speed.
  • You can also now preview the scroll speed before/during a song.
• QR codes can now be scanned with the built-in cameras.
  • You can now share playlists with other players using QR codes.
• Top scorer is now shown on the song select screen, but it must be enabled via the eamusement page.
• A new feature - Tsujigiri Battle, will show each of the store players as you beat their EX scores above the score graph. This was forced on during the location test, but must be enabled in the options menu in the released game.
• A new RIVAL NEXT graph option has been added, which sets the pacemaker to the score of the rival above yours.
• Result screens can now cycle between:
  • The usual score graph
  • A diagram displaying individual key accuracy during the song.
  • A graph showing predicted final score grades for particular points in the song.
• First beatmania IIDX arcade game since beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD to feature licensed covers made by in-house BEMANI staff.
• First beatmania IIDX arcade game with BGM in the Result screen since beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.
• First beatmania IIDX game with new BEGINNER charts since beatmania IIDX 23 copula.
  • First game since SPADA with new BEGINNER charts for songs in the default songlist as well.
• Green number now displays the minimum/current/maximum BPM changes for a song if it has BPM changes.
• Ghost Score numbers can now be set to white only for being below a target score. In previous games, it was always red.
• Pressing 0 on the numpad on the game over screen now brings up legal info, which is displayed on screen for 60 seconds.
• A new feature now lets you see which column that the first note will appear in (or columns, if there is a simultaneous press for the first notes) when you begin a song, similar to jubeat.
• In-game currency is called "BIBL".
• First beatmania IIDX game since their debuts with no Mayumi Morinaga, MK, ni-21, or P*Light songs on the default songlist.
• First beatmania IIDX arcade game since Sota Fujimori's debut where he has no songs under his real name on the default songlist.
• The 5KEY option has been removed, making Rootage the first beatmania game of any kind with no 5-key mode.
• The EX-COMBO display option has been removed.
• The HD* monitor setting has been removed, causing machines that used it previously to have their offset increased by +1.0.
• HELL CHARGE NOTES can now be set to the same color as regular CHARGE NOTES.
• Daily bonuses are the same as they were in beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS.
• All unlocks from beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ (except for Surf on the Light) are now available by default.
• Rootage's system voice is provided by Sousuke Asagi and Chiyoko.
• The UI for the gameplay screen and the background music for the Select Music screen can be chosen via ARC SCORE.
  • First beatmania IIDX game since beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL with unlockable game frames and BGMs.
• 9th Dan and 10th Dan courses were added on December 6th, 2018.
• Theme: library
• Slogan: "ギラつく音で 超えて行け！" (Giratsuku oto de koeteike!)

ARC SCORE

Event page.

This section is covering an event that has just started; information may be incomplete or inaccurate.

ARC SCORE is beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage's EXTRA STAGE system. For Japanese version machines, this only appears on PREMIUM START (which requires PASELI). The event began on November 22nd, 2018.

ARC SCORE can be considered a spiritual successor to PARALLEL ROTATION from beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS, with songs based around an older style. As is usual for EXTRA STAGE events, what songs you are allowed to play are based around the sum of the difficulty levels, DJ LEVEL and clear type of the first three songs of your credit. As an additional requirement, the song played on the FINAL STAGE must be from the style the song is related to.

The conditions to access ARC SCORE change based on the Phase it is in:

• Phase 1:
  • NORMAL difficulty: Obtain at least an A rank on three songs that total 18 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the EX-HARD gauge.
  • HYPER difficulty: Obtain at least a AA rank on three songs that total 27 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the EX-HARD gauge.
  • ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain at least a AAA rank on three songs that total 33 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the EX-HARD gauge.
• Phase 2:
  • NORMAL difficulty: Obtain at least a B rank on three songs that total 15 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.
  • HYPER difficulty: Obtain at least an A rank on three songs that total 24 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.
  • ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain at least a AA rank on three songs that total 30 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.
• Phase 3:
  • NORMAL difficulty: Obtain at least a C rank on three songs that total 12 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.
  • HYPER difficulty: Obtain at least an B rank on three songs that total 21 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.
  • ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain at least a AA rank on three songs that total 27 or more in difficulty by clearing them with the HARD gauge.

When a song is unlocked for play, the stage select BGM is changed to the corresponding style's, and that style's play frame is used when playing the song (For styles prior to tricoro, frames have been remastered to HD and BGMs have been remixed to be layered).

Every time a song is cleared as the EXTRA STAGE, you get one ARC Element for it, which is used to unlock its charts outside the EXTRA STAGE as well as its frame and BGM.

• One ARC Element unlocks the NORMAL chart outside EXTRA STAGE
• Three ARC Elements unlocks the HYPER chart outside EXTRA STAGE
• Five ARC Elements unlocks the ANOTHER chart outside EXTRA STAGE
• Ten ARC Elements unlocks its frame and BGM

Current Phase: ARC SCORE. I/8th style (Phase 3)

WEEKLY RANKING

Event page.

The WEEKLY RANKING feature in beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage began on November 28th, 2018. The WEEKLY RANKING song changes every Wednesday at 12:00 noon.

You earn a star (the day after the period for a song ends) if your score in the leaderboards for the featured song's chart is high enough. Note that stars depend on each song's chart on both single and double play, not on the whole song itself, which means you can earn up to six stars per song.

In the songlist menu, a bar shows your WEEKLY RANKING star progress on the featured song's chart; the arrow determines your current position in the leaderboards:

• White star: if the arrow is located in the white section.
• Bronze star: if the arrow is located in the cyan section.
• Silver star: if the arrow is located in the gray section.
• Gold star: if the arrow is located in the yellow section.
• Platinum star: if the arrow is located in the very small blue section (top 10 in the leaderboards).

11/28/2018 to 12/05/2018 - Particle Arts / Virtual Self 12/05/2018 to 12/12/2018 - Serious? / KSUKE 12/12/2018 to 12/19/2018 - Glory / kradness 12/19/2018 to 12/26/2018 - SPEED ROCKER / AJURIKA
