Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA ƒ (初音ミク -Project DIVA- ƒ?) is a 2012 rhythm video game that was released in 30 August 2012 for the PlayStation Vita in Japan. It is the fifth entry in the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series following the earlier PlayStation Portable titles. A PlayStation 3 version, titled Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F (初音ミク -Project DIVA- F?), was released on 7 March 2013. The PS3 version was localised and later released both physically and digitally in North America on 27 August 2013, becoming the first game in the series to be released in English. It was then released in Europe as a digital-only title on 4 September 2013. The Vita version was also localised and was released on March 2014 in North America and Europe as a digital-only title.
It is the first stand-alone game to be released for both consoles (not counting the Dreamy Theater titles on the PS3). The Asian versions of the Vita version of Project DIVA ƒ are compatible with the PlayStation Vita TV console but it is necessary to use the DualShock 4 controller due to mandatory touch controls in the rhythm gameplay not supported by the DualShock 3 controller. In addition, the player cannot use the AR Mode features.[1]
Gameplay[]
The game retains the same basic gameplay mechanics from the series albeit with several new changes, most notably the addition of the "Star" symbol to the game's existing symbols of cross, circle, square, triangle and arrows. The "Star" symbol represents the "Scratch" move where instead of pressing the face buttons as usual, players rub the screen (Vita version) or flick the left and right sticks (PS3 version).[2][3]
"Chance Time" has been modified from previous installments, with each successful beat filling a star shaped gauge on the bottom left of the screen. When filled, it triggers a final Star symbol that, if successfully scored, will change the outcome of the song's PV scene. Another new mechanic is the "Technical Zone"; when it occurs during a song, players must maintain an uninterrupted combo within a particular section of a song for additional score and grade points.
Additional features like DIVA Room and Edit Mode will also returns with additional features.[2][3][4]
The game features graphical improvements over its predecessors in light of the PlayStation Vita's higher processing power compared to the PlayStation Portable. The models in the game are also based on the PlayStation Portable predecessors rather than the Dreamy Theater models, which have a slightly different art style. There are also improvements in the animations of the characters, such as smoother movements for Miku's hair and Rin's ribbons; the game also features improved facial expressions and lighting with real-time lighting computation being added into the game.[2]
AR/Studio Mode[]
Both the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 versions feature an extra mode that is exclusive to each version:
- AR Mode, which is PlayStation Vita exclusive, is an augmented reality feature that let's Miku and the other characters appear as if they are in the real world via the Vita's camera function. Two of the features in this mode include Portrait Mode, which let's players set a pose for the characters of their choosing and take a photo, which will then show up in the Vita's Photos app, and AR Live Mode, which requires the Live Studio Marker card that is included with the game. This feature has Miku performing songs as if she is performing on stage.
- Studio Mode, which is PlayStation 3 exclusive, functions similarly to AR Mode, but with stock backgrounds for the Photo Studio feature and an actual stage for the Live Mode feature, which is based on the stage from the "DAIBA de DIVA" special event at Tokyo Joypolis in 2012.
Development[]
Development for the game first began in 2011 before the previous entry in the series, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend. The game is jointly developed by the development teams behind the PlayStation Portable entries in the series as well as the team behind Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade.[2] A new entry in the Project DIVA series, tentatively titled NEXT HATSUNE MIKU Project DIVA, was first teased by SEGA on Christmas Day 2011, when the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Niconico and YouTube channels uploaded a teaser video of the game with the PV for doriko's "Cat Food" and a planned release for 2012.[5][6] On 9 April 2012 SEGA posted a teaser site online announcing that they would be revealing the next entry in the Project DIVA series on 12 April 2012.[7]
The game was then officially revealed on 12 April 2012 as a multi-platform game for both the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3, marking the series' official debut on both platforms (Dreamy Theater software previously released for the PS3 were not actual full games for the console). Development was focused on the PlayStation Vita first before being shifted over to the PlayStation 3 at the later part of its development cycle and hence the Vita version was released earlier in Summer 2012 while the PS3 version world relese in 2013.[2] A new trailer for the game was uploaded to franchise's official channels and it goes into detail about the new game mechanics such as the Scratch Melody Icons and also reveals that wowaka's "World's End Dance Hall" would be included in the game, alongside new Module's for the song. The trailer also features the second half of the "Cat Food" PV, now showing off its specific Module. The trailer's music is that of the instrumental version of the then-unnanounced "Weekender Girl".[8] The game's official website was also revamped following the reveal which goes into more detail on the new mechanics and also displays images of the new character models for the main characters.[9] The game's development was also stated to be 39% complete.[10] The release date for the Vita version of the game was later announced as 30 August 2012 in an issue of the Japanese gaming magazine, Dengeki PlayStation.[11]
On 26 April 2012, the Weekly DIVA Station released an article detailing the improved Chance Time feature and the new Graph that appears on the results screen.[12] Another of the game's new mechanics, "Techincal Zone", was revealed during the game's demo exhibition at Niconico Chokaigi 2012.[13] On 24 May 2012, the game's titled was finalized as Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f and its website received a new redesign. Following the finalized title reveal, two more songs were announced to be in the game: Buriru's "Secret Police" and Junky's "Melancholic". The announcement also included a look into the game's use of the PS Vita's AR feature, a new feature called "Portrait Mode".[14][15] A video digest for the two announced songs was uploaded online.[16]
On 5 June 2012, the game's boxart design was revealed, having been illustrated by KEI.[17] On 21 June 2012, eight more songs and their respective Modules were announced to be included in the game. These songs include the game's theme song "Odds & Ends" by ryo, and Hachioji P and kz's "Weekender Girl", whose instrumental version was used in previous trailers for the game. The remaining six songs include 40mP and 164's "Time Machine", Mitchie M's "Freely Tomorrow", halyosy's "Fire◎Flower", AVTechNO!'s "DYE", Tennen's "Ashes to Ashes" and yuukiss' "Nostalogic".[18] A new digest trailer featuring the 12 announced songs was uploaed online.[19] On 5 July 2012, the Module for "Odds & Ends", Heartbeat, as well as stills from the game's opening movie were revealed.[20] On 16 July 2012, the official Project DIVA channels uploaded a PV for a new commissioned song for the game, "Summer Idol" by OSTER project. The PV also featured brand new swimsuit Modules for the female characters.[21] In addition to "Summer Idol", the Weekly DIVA Station also announced on 19 July 2012 that two more songs, and their respective Modules, would be included in the game: Kurousa's "ACUTE" and wowaka's "Unhappy Refrain". This announcement also meant that the game would now have up to three singers for songs that allow it.[22]
On 26 July 2012, four more songs, including a new commissioned song, were announced to be included in the game: TENKOMORI's "The MMORPG Addict's Anthem", hachi's "World's End Umbrella", Jesus' "Remote Controller", and sasakure.UK's "Negaposi*Continues". Details on the game's AR Mode was also announced, which included details on "AR Live Mode", which doubled as an announcement for vocaliod-P's "1/6 -out of the gravity-" being featured in the game exclusive to AR Mode.[23] A new PV narrated by Miku's voice provider, Saki Fujita, that goes over the game's mechanics was uploaded online.[24] On 27 July 2012, Weekly DIVA Station revealed the models for the winning Yukata Modules from piapro Collab contest for the game. A new digest video featuring all of the announced songs so far was also uploaded online.[25][26]
On 7 March 2013, the day of the PS3 version's Japanese release, SEGA posted an image of Miku on their English Facebook page, asking fans to like and share the image if they would like to see the PS3 version of the game released in Western territories.[27] On 6 June 2013, SEGA confirmed the game would be released in Western territories in August 2013. A retail release in North America was announced, as well as a digital release on the PlayStation Network in North America and Europe.[28] In November 2013, Project Diva f for PlayStation Vita was announced for America and Europe for early 2014.

The demo featured "Cat Food" and "World's End Dance Hall", both retaining their lyrics in Japanese, but the menu items have been translated to English.
