AC EMPRESS: Difference between revisions

* Slogan: 超、頂、蝶、煌く (Chou, chou, chou, kirameku)

** Though it literally means "Super Sparkling Crown and Butterflies", it could be also read to mean "Super, super, super sparkly" due to a pun involving the word "chou" in Japanese.

* Interface features pink and fuchsia, with a jewel and butterfly motif.  

** New songs are also in pink text; FULL COMBO splashes are pink as well.

* Last arcade beatmania IIDX game to date to use the original beatmania IIDX logo.

* New sound effects are added to the menus and result screens.

* [[Aimee Blackschleger|AiMEE]] provides the default menu category voice.

* Last game where the options you have chosen appear on the pre-song splash screen, ending a tradition that began in [[AC 8th style|8th style]].

* First appearance of HAZARD mode. It is available by highlighting FREE mode and pressing the three black keys.  

** Breaking combo in HAZARD results in instant failure of a song. However, you're guaranteed four songs regardless of status on the first three.

** Clear rate indicator changes to FULL COMBO rate in HAZARD.

* All [[Reo Nagumo|dj nagureo]] songs made after [[AC 4th style|4th style]] have been removed; several [[BeForU]] songs were removed as well.

** Conversely, all non-license [[Takehiko Fujii|SLAKE]] songs have been revived, except for [[I'M FOR REAL]] and [[LOVE IS DROWING]].

* The beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK booklet contains a review of the entire soundtrack by top ranker beatmania IIDX player [[DOLCE.]]

* First beatmania IIDX game whose soundtrack was released on the Japanese iTunes store, under the title ''beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS Music Selection''.

To unlock the secret EXTRA STAGE song Programmed World in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, you must have the machine set on three stages (not four) and then meet the following conditions, depending on the difficulty level:

* NORMAL: 15 or more combined levels (Single), 12+ (Double)

In addition to meeting the above level requirements, you must also get a AA on all three songs while meeting the usual EXTRA STAGE credentials for FINAL STAGE:

* Level 7: clear song with 100% gauge (either regular or HARD) (6 on Double)

As of January 7th, 2009 (beat #1), both songs are available for regular play.

beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS also has three other ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE songs, but you must reach certain criteria first to unlock them. The three songs and their requirements are as follows:

** EXTRA STAGE must be one of the following BEMANI crossovers/remixes: [[B4U(BEMANI FOR YOU MIX)]], [[Shades of Grey]], [[switch]], [[Hana ranman -Flowers-|華爛漫 -Flowers-]], or 凛として咲く花の如く.

*** NOTE: unlocking PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME(for beatmania II) is ''required''.

** EXTRA STAGE must be a dj TAKA song.

EMPRESS PLACE is the EXTRA STAGE system of beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, which started on December 3rd, 2008. This will only appear with one player ''only''. eAMUSEMENT is required to play this event.

* February: amethyst (purple), 12

* July: ruby (red), five

* October: opal (aqua), seven

To unlock a chart, players have to acquire at least four jewels, with four for NORMAL, five for HYPER and six for ANOTHER. Please see [http://bemaniwiki.com/index.php?beatmaniaIIDX16%20EMPRESS/EMPRESS%20PLACE BEMANIWiki] on jewel requirements changes depending on the month. Doing so and the EMPRESS PLACE folder will appear during the Extra Stage, and the player is locked onto the folder once it opened (the game will warn players on playing songs with extreme difficulty). Note that arcade settings ''must'' be set to three songs for it to appear.

* Note that removing a third rival will re-lock [[TEXTURE]] (and [[Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku|凛として咲く花の如く]], if that also have been unlocked prior)
