Thank you very much! Yeah, my stats aren't much compared to some of the other clears, but I think 40+ hours and 29000+ deaths should show that I was in it for the long haul, and I was willing to deal with anything no matter how crazy it got. I think the reason this final checkpoint took so long is simply because it's long and requires various quick reflexes all done in one go. As an example, Area 7 Checkpoint 1 is intense, but not only is it shorter, there's a consistent rhythm to getting through the first room, and you can take your time with the second room. There's definitely a point where I had properly learned Checkpoint 15, but it still took a lot of practice and hoping I'd do it right. I was reading your analysis of each checkpoint in Area 7 (from your Area 7 deathless choke video) when I got to this point, and as I was consistently getting to the bottom of the shaft and going back up, your comment about how some of the spikes will grab you by the ear was ringing through my head a lot. As for watching the videos, I would not recommend anyone to see every single one in full, unless they really wanna know if it took as many deaths as it did, or they're bored out of their mind and somehow have nothing better to do with their time. As for the compilation, I have the first two areas fully edited together so far. The rest will take longer but I will try to keep steady progress on it and get it out sooner than later.

Not a mod necessarily, just a custom level. This map is very cool, but also super difficult!

Wow, I didn't expect a comment from you here! It was your Nova videos (and to an extent, your other VVVVVV videos) that inspired me to give this map a try, so I feel honored to receive a comment from you. I still plan on recording every single attempt I make. I want to document my entire journey even if it means there are several videos where no progress is being made (as of typing this, I've made it through 6/8 trials in Area 6, and there are quite a few videos where no trinkets are collected). That being said, I do plan to compile a video of just my successful attempts of every checkpoint in the game when it's all done, as I'm sure even fellow Nova players would have little to no interest in watching a video where I die for 20-50 minutes with no payoff. I feel weird about using the editor for practice for a few reasons. - I know it's not cheating or anything like that, I just feel more comfortable doing things in a more traditional way, even if it will take longer. - The editor obviously won't add your deaths or playtime to your save file, and I wouldn't have the patience to count every single death I had in editor practice. - If I do it successfully in the editor, I'll feel a little annoyed that I only won in the editor and now I'd have to go through all of it again "for real this time". Having said all this, I'm still aware of what Nova's final checkpoint is... Maybe I'll use the editor to practice that one given its length, but only if push comes to shove.

@@Revenge319 Fair enough about your video and editor practice policy. I also enjoy not practicing, that's the way I beat Nova. I'm not too surprised to hear I inspired you, for reasons I'm sure don't need to be explained. I'm still glad though. I said I was planning on writing something longer but that might have been balooney on my part. I don't play the game as much as I used to, but I still enjoy people going for VVVVVV challenges. I'm sure you'll be able to complete this level, but as you know so well, things will only ramp up from there. That's it for me. I'll watch your progress in the background

@@balneor Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm on Gravitron 2.0 as we speak, and I can already tell that one's gonna be a long and grueling affair. (I know you can skip it but I'd really prefer not to.) I'm intentionally saving Wits for last, since that's a vastly different challenge to anything else in this map and I think it will be a lot of fun. I don't remember the solutions, the only riddles I remember are from watching Supernova's Hall of Wisdom (which if you're wondering, I am not putting myself through Supernova after this). I'm kinda excited for Area 7, I'm sure it'll be the hardest of all, but I think just being at the finale will boost my determination more than the brutal difficulty will hinder it.

Thank you!

I believe the reason why the PV is different is because they added World's End Dance Hall to Project DIVA Arcade before they made Arcade Future Tone, where they started adding songs from F over to Arcade. They probably added WEDH to Arcade prior to F even being in development, so they naturally made a video more in the style of the PSP trilogy and original Arcade PVs.

The PS4/PS5 recording software mutes the music in this game to avoid copyright issues when uploading videos.

@@Revenge319oh ok but still you can use sound I can teach you

Thanks! I felt a little awkward about using the microphone since it's also picking up my breathing and little sounds in my mouth that I would much prefer to be inaudible, but if people don't mind that then I'll gladly keep using the mic to play the music in streams.

@@Revenge319 mic placement counts too! eventually you'll work out the mic arrangement, but once you do, I'm excited to see where this will go!! also, i don't mind the mouth sounds lol

@@moyubuttI'll try to figure it out. It's just one of those little mic pieces you attach to the headset so there's not much room to arrange it, but hopefully I can figure out a way to pick up the music and my speaking without any other noise.

The PS5 recording software automatically mutes all music in this game (besides menu/results music) to avoid any copyright issues when uploading.

@@Revenge319 capture cards work

@@crazygabey I do have a capture card, but it's a pain to set up and get it to work so that the audio/video sync remains consistent, and I don't want to upload a video where they're desynced. It's much easier in comparison to screen capture natively on PS4/PS5 and upload it as-is, even though I would prefer to not have the music muted for these videos.

playstation doesnt record the music for copyright reasons

Nice! How long did that take you?

@@Revenge319 I started playing Mega Mix+ in Feb 2023, I lost all my progress for some reason in April 2023, Perfected all songs in Ex and ExEx except for those 2 in ExEx in Feb 2024, so almost a year

Yeah, Unhappy Refrain EXEX is a big test of endurance. It can feel impossible if your stamina is low, and my stamina was pretty low for a long time. Just keep practicing, you will build that up eventually! :)

No, it's just the PS4 recording software muting the music because of all the copyright stuff associated with Vocaloid music. That being said, I do have an upload of getting a Perfect on Disappearance EXEX, which I actually did do silently; I left the game audio on but muted my TV and listened to completely unrelated music in the background. 90% of the chart was super easy by that point and the last 10% was more about stamina than playing to the music. ua-cam.com/video/nYwF8XWP7b0/v-deo.html

@@Revenge319 that’s insane!!! Do you mind if I ask how long you’ve been playing?? For me it’s been about a decade (not consecutive) and I’m still on extreme!! I’ll be subbing and checking out your other videos, great work

@@moyubuttThank you very much! I started with Project Mirai DX in 2015, then got Project DIVA X in late 2016 and started Future Tone the day it came out in North America (January 10th, 2017). I got every Extreme Perfect in FT in October 2019, and took a break for a while, until I started grinding for Disappearance EXEX in January 2022. Throughout 2022/2023 I worked on getting every Perfect on Easy, Normal, and Hard, and now here I am having finished almost everything on Extra Extreme. It's been a long journey!

Oh, so it's not just me who kept looping around that cave puzzle for what felt like an eternity? Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse about it, haha. There were a lot of strong moments in this game, I might replay this game in the future.

I really liked that Jayden was more or less the MVP, he's my favorite character in the game. I was hoping Ethan could have more involvement in the last hours, although I did have him surrender to the police so that's probably why he didn't get to do much.
