EDIT: For the love of god, PLEASE stop commentimg on this. This review is over a year old, and I'm tired of getting random notifications of angry simps saying "uHm WeLl AcKsHuAlLy..." No. Just stop. Let me live in peace, please.
It's whale hell. Don't bother playing the game seriously unless you're a well-off individual who can afford blowing off all their money on overpriced in-game currency.
The game relies way too much on having good cards rather than being good at the game. I can't play higher level difficulty songs because my cards are shit. But I can't gacha for better cards because I'm a broke kid. Leaving me stuck on all these easy and normal difficulty songs, which are boring as hell to play.
And just imagine how much fun it is desperately grinding for event points on easy difficulty because there's a limited UR Ruby Kurosawa (best girl) available for people who rank 50,000 or lower, but you can only rank 150,000 at best because the game favors people who pay money over people with skill.
There's a lot of things I can put up with for my idol babies. But this shitty system is not one of those things. Oh well. I like Idolmaster more, anyway. Back to Deresute and Mirishita, then.
EDIT: So, my opinion has changed a bit. They've added more methods of gaining Stars, so they're significantly easier to obtain. My pull rates (emphasis on "MY") are still shit, personally. But my luck is awful, so that might have a hand in it. Events on the JPN servers are impossible to rank without bekng PtP, but it's much easier to rank on the international servers. This is NOT a rhythm game, it is an RPG. Doesn't excuse it for getting boring, through. Game is still definitely a cash grab, but it's *our* cash grab.

I've been wondering if someone could help me. I've been playing the game for a while, but I had to uninstall it for reasons I won't go into. I have an I-SKY account, so all my data is backed up. However, when I try to restore my account on the I-SKY website, it gives me this error message. I am logged into my I-SKY account, and I click on the link that takes me back to to game. But no matter what I do, it just won't let me link my account. I have tried it on my phone and my tablet. Neither have worked. Any suggestions?
