* MÚSECA has now two modes: a "pure game" one and a mission one. Either mode is chosen upon starting the game, but can be switched duriing song or Mission select with the lower left spinner:
** Pure game mode has no speed changes, no lane change shifts and no score changing caused by Grafica. The obtainable max score in this mode is 1000000 points. LIFE has been removed; instead, to clear a song you now need 700000 points or higher, but failing a song does not result in an early game over. You also cannot fail in the middle of a song anymore. The level restriction for chart selection is removed. Grafica can still be used but will not cause any effect, however they can still be leveled up which is useful for missions.
** Pure game mode is the default game version that removes any speed or lane changes. LIFE has been removed and instead replaced with a 1000000 scoring system, with a 700000 point clear threshold similar to jubeat. All three songs are guaranteed, and level restrictions are removed. Grafica can still be used but will not cause any effect (including score changes), however they can still be leveled up which is useful for missions.
** Mission mode is where Grafica are unlocked and where their skills affect the game (such as more chances of obtaining other Grafica, etc...).
*** Due to this, the clear rank have also been revamped:
* Grafica level up when used. The level name in the game is known as ''MEDEL''. The MEDEL cap of the Grafica depends on which difficulty you completed the mission to unlock the specific Grafica itself.
**** 傑: 975000 - 1000000 (getting 1000000 results in a gold 傑)
* Grafica's elements have been simplified to just five only: NATURAL (green), PASSION (red), COOL (blue), PURE (white), and DARK (gray). The names of the elements are also written in English. Grafica's elements come into action in missions: unlocking Grafica becomes easier if you use a Grafica with a specific element against another:
**** 秀: 950000 - 974999
** COOL counters PASSION.
**** 優: 900000 - 949999
** PASSION counters NATURAL.
**** 良: 850000 - 899999
** NATURAL counters COOL.
**** 佳: 800000 - 849999
** PURE and DARK counter each other.
**** 凡: 700000 - 799999 (minimum clear rank)
* The UI is now easier to navigate; the lower right spinner and the start button is all you need to go through it. However, the other spinners can still be used for navigation:
**** 拙: 600000 - 699999
**** 没: no more than 599999
** Mission mode is the original game mode (Grafica's skills are active and gameplay gimmicks can be triggered).
* Grafica also have other changes/additions:
** ''MEDEL'', a Grafica level cap system where abilities influence on which difficulty you completed the mission to unlock the specific Grafica itself.
** Grafica's elements have been simplified to just five only: NATURAL (green), PASSION (red), COOL (blue), PURE (white), and DARK (gray). The names of the elements are also written in English. Grafica's elements come into action in missions: unlocking Grafica becomes easier if you use a Grafica with a specific element against another. COOL counters PASSION, then NATURAL, then COOL; PURE and DARK counter against each other.
* The UI is now made easier to navigate:
** The lower right spinner and the start button are the basic selection for navigation.
** The top left spinner accesses filtering options for tracks or Grafica.
