AC DDR 2014: Difference between revisions

''Replicant D-ignition'' was first announced at the JAEPO 2015 event. A preliminary announcement movie was released on February 18th, 2015 featuring "The Dark One" and [[RINON]], who is seen fusing six colored orbs into her body. The event started on March 5th, 2015.

To begin the event, [[Truare!]], the final song of ''BOSS ON PARADE'', must be unlocked and cleared on the EXTRA STAGE first on any difficulty.

You can choose which vial to fill at the end of each game session; the order on which the vials are filled have no importance. Filling subsequent vials also require more NITRO than the previous filled vial: 4,000 NITRO for the first vial, 6,000 for the 2nd, 8,000 for the 3rd, 10,000 for the 4th, and 12,000 for the 5th. NITRO is obtained by fulfilling various conditions:

Once at least one vial has been filled, the Replicant D-ignition folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE. The folder contains between one and five songs depending on which NITRO vials have been filled. Hovering over the folder will play a sound resembling a low-pitched warning siren. Selecting the folder displays a warning indicating that '''once opened, it cannot be exited''' until the end of the credit, and inside, the background and background music change to a darker mood, hiding song previews. The BPM of songs inside the folder remain hidden.

After obtaining 5 orbs, [[EGOISM 440]] will appear as a sixth song in the Replicant D-ignition folder. After playing it, '''all orbs are lost''' and must be collected again to play the song again. By clearing EGOISM 440 with a AA or higher on EXPERT, the screen will briefly flash a sixth orb in the center of the 5 orbs before they are lost. A cutscene then plays, followed immediately by the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE announcement (the player has no opportunity to change options).

The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song is [[MAX.(period)]] (on the same difficulty as EGOISM 440), with "The Dark One" being the player's character. Regardless of the options used for EGOISM 440, the modifiers 1.5x speed and Reverse are forced on. In addition, the CLEARED shutter is delayed by about nine seconds, synchronizing it with the shutter sound effect heard at the end of the song.

The 2nd Phase of Replicant D-ignition started on March 26th, 2015 (removing the above Thank You For Playing screen). To enter the 2nd Phase, MAX.(period) must be cleared as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. The player again must collect five orbs, which now appear a darker color; having all 5 reveals MAX.(period) and its CHALLENGE chart in the folder as a seventh EXTRA STAGE song. Attempting MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE causes all orbs to be lost. Clearing MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE unlocks RINON as a selectable dancer. During this Phase, if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", then their character will appear like normal with "The Dark One" appearing as a backup dancer. However, if the player plays EGOISM 440, their character will still be replaced by RINON like in the 1st Phase.

Getting a AA rank or higher on MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart again flashes a sixth orb in the center of the five orbs before they are lost, followed by a second cutscene video and the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE announcement immediately after.

The 2nd Phase ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song is [[Over The "Period"|Over The “Period”]] (on two levels lower than MAX.(period)). The words "ATTACK PERFECT FULL COMBO!!" display during the announcement, indicating that 1 Great or lower will fail the song. Additionally, the player cannot use the left and right buttons on the cabinet to change speed modifiers at the start of the song. Any modifiers that remove notes (CUT1/CUT2, Jumps Off, and Freezes Off) ''and'' modifiers that affect scrolling (such as Boost and Wave) are disabled. During Over The "Period", if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", RINON will appear as a backup dancer instead of "The Dark One".
