I'm actually happy that Engstars is here and I've been playing it since the release and i noticed something about the game
1. it follows JP, KR and CN. Meaning cn exclusive cards will be added like the chiaki cn card or hiyori cn card though I'm not sure if it will come to the game because I'm not happyele. Then it'll add systems like prime missions (from KR and we currently have), memorial coin shop (every version of enstars), and switch to basic (KR I'm not sure if they might add it since they'll probably won't)
2. most of the systems and details in Engstars were from KR like society, different types of live (starry lives, infinite lives and expert lives). then, the texts, the profile banner and custom description with details (eg. change color of text or change size).
3. the value of dias for 1x / 10x and the change of pulling from dias to scout tickets. it also came from KR because in KR, they also have 350 dias for a 1 pull and 3500 for a 10 pull. but i also see people complaining about the dia value for pulling
Edit: I'm actually surprised that they released mv outfit fitting room very early and I'm kind of interested on what they might add next, i didn't expect the loop work and live thing as well also the song titles is also something i forgot about

I'm in pain. Ibara beat me up and locked me in the basement. Dance in the apocalypse's chereography flashes before my eyes every time I try to sleep. I haven't slept in days I cannot they keep moving this way why do they move this way who made this choreography. I can hear Ibara saying "Attack! Invade! Conquer!" constantly and I'm scared for my life. It's been months. Natsume is fortnite dancing on my sanity pls help himeru keeps spitting cola on me
Dear happyele, a few months ago I was a normal person (actually that's a lie but lets pretend it isn't) but nothing could have prepared me for what would happen after I decided to download this seemingly innocuous game. My soul now belongs to Mika Kagehira and I am forced to play forever. This game may be free but you'll pay the price in your sanity. It's okay though who needs sanity when you can have Mika Kagehira :)

First things first we get to see english lyrics while playing!!!! Although it's not so great of a feature but it's again quite interesting to have that while playing literally!!! I dont think anyother game has done something like this so enstar gets full points for creativity but it's placing is a bit awkward to be able to actually read lyrics while playing the rhythm game!!!
The artstyle is quite good!! So you will be easily tempted to scout for most banners so u need to fight that temptation!
The gameplay is actually quite fun and the rhythm part is actually quite challenging!! Rhythm players will like it!
Story wise it's quite good.[EDIT] The translations are a bit off they arent perfect!!! I read only first 2 chapters earlier and the translations werent that bad but as the things progress and you read more you can find few areas were there's extra spaces in between words and some translations are hard to understand!!! So if you find any such thing you guys can screenshot and send it to customer care from data room which is quite an easy way to report such issue!!!
Coming to font style which many here are hating...tbh i dont mind the font much it's not that bad and ii m able to read and understand stuff so its good to me. Plus they might have a reason as to why they couldn't use same font as Jp server.
Gacha... it's not easy to say right now as its just at the beginning stages. Will have to see if rate up and rates will be lie or not 😅
The dia count becoming 3.5k is hated by many but CN server has same and the EN server is going to follow similar to CN
The one thing that i dont feel the most comfortable in the game will be the events.....that 3.5million points for just one copy of event 5* scares me cause being honest in JP server i could never cross more than 2 million points as i never had time for them plus just 2 million points would exhaust me 😭😭 I hope EN server does something about it which is just a hopeful thinking from my side!!
But again if you want a challenging game enstars is there for you!!! Anyone can play this game even boys!!!! And if anyone says to you(boy) that this game is girlish just say them its not!!!! And ask them if they can full combo and get 3.5 million points and also get 5* cards without selling their souls 😂😂😂

With the release of EN server, many people across the globe are going to be able to play Ensemble Stars and enjoy it! Which is really really good.
I'll list down the things I have noticed (and remembered) so far from my observations from playing the other versions.
‼️ A very lengthy post ‼️
⭐Recommended Friend Feature⭐
— compared to JP, it is much easier to add friends because EN recommends people to you as well as to others, so you could find potential friends easily as well as for others to add you.
— You could give your friends up to a *maximum* of 3 gift boxes a day with a gift of your choosing. Likewise, you could also claim up to a *maximum* 3 gift boxes from your friend(s).
— You may encounter a situation where you have received a lot of boxes (more than 3). In this case, you won't stop getting boxes(receiving has no limit), but the claim limit is still 3.
— Stickers!! It adds cuteness and friendliness as well as a way of communication towards each other. This feature is also available in Society Chat.
⭐Starry Live⭐
— with this new kind of live stage gameplay, you can earn dias in random amounts + gems
— during a *REGULAR event* (not tour), you can earn a bonus of 15k points for each of the 3 event bonus boxes available per day.
— during a *TOUR event*, the usual starry live is unable to be played. However, its rewards can be claimed if you do lives on the Tour Map itself.
— CONS : You have to play it manually. It can get very exhausting especially if you're already tired from work or school, and it's not really required to be accomplished daily. As long as you can clear daily missions, there is no need to push yourself!! ^^
⭐AUTO live⭐
— in JP, every live is MANUAL despite being fully comboed. To unlock this feature for every song, fully clear (no need to perfect. just full) it in any difficulty.
— TAKE NOTE: Auto live cannot be activated with 0 BP.
— ‼️: If you have auto live on Easy Mode for example, that doesn't mean you can auto Hard Mode too. You have to manually fully combo Hard Mode first before being able to auto it.
⭐Infinite Live⭐
— No BP used for each live, it can go on and on as long as you can clear each sstage's score requirements.
— You can get dia scout tickets, and different gems used for idol road by exchanging your infinite live tokens.
— To save time, if ever you have the said score or above in the Auto Clear live feature(example: 300,000 score to auto clear it and move onto the next stage. Your team's power is 350,000 meaning that you can go ahead and auto clear it), please click it instead of going through the whole live manually.
⭐Daily Missions⭐
— A great source of dias, make sure to clear it every day as much as possible! The "paid scout" is not necessary to accomplish especially for f2ps.
⭐Story⭐
— Compared to JP with non-skippable stories (if reading for the first time) and only gives 10 dias each (or 1 dia in JP), EN gives 30 dias (3 equivalent in JP) per each chapter. Not only that, you could skip through it.
The only stops that will prevent you from continuously going through the story are the Live Missions in between.
— the Live missions between each story gap will give you 100 dias for first clear and 200 (if cleared) for each of the 2 missions given after clearing it first. Live missions require no bp.
— Font used is not so readable, I really hope that they would adapt the same fonts used in JP. It's cute and clean, plus it can accomodate(?) romanji as well, so I see no problem with EN team using it instead.
⭐Translation & Censorship⭐
— The translation is quite... awkward, so sometimes it would seem a bit off, OOC, or would have elements removed/revised from the actual original text.
— The censorship makes no sense. It would censor random charas, making it hard to communicate with each other in the chat due to the number of unwanted asterisks. They should fix this -_-;
⭐Lives⭐
— I believe that JP only has the feature where you could change your 2D bg in 3 parts (center's cg, random screenshot from the song's live, or simple stage). EN, KR and TW only allows your (current) unit's center's cg as 2D bg.
— Lyrics! A unique feature of EN, KR & TW :D
— Quality of Life with the feature of Auto Lives.
⭐‼️DROP RATES‼️⭐
— CW: Gacha
— The rates are... well.... almost zero to nothing.
— Live Fests where certain songs get increased chances of dropping x kind of gems are quite the Scam for me. I tried farming one before and... barely acquired needed gems :(
— there is no pity system in here, everything is purely based on luck~
⭐Profile⭐
— Border colors aren't customizable in colors(red, blue, yellow) unlike in jp. But what's unique with this feature is that cards in the deck you chose also serves as your bubble speech bg in a lower opacity!
— Bubbles (bio containers) can be also customizable, but same with frames they are mostly purchased to obtain.
⭐Ribbon System⭐
— It may be added in the future in EN server, so let's be patient ~
⭐Honorable Mentions: Shared Live & Society⭐
— i wont be going any further for these two, but i'll try my best to still put in my thoughts.
— SHARED LIVE: the only hope for the gems capitalism in this game. don't be shy to add friends!! they'll help you get the rewards for this as well as you helping them for the same thing.
saying "thank you" may not be required, but still appreciated for the friends you shared live with!! without them, you won't accomplish it.
— SOCIETY: very nice to get society coins for the profile talent upgrade (I forgot to mention this!!! but PROFILE TALENTS are really helpful especially the Accuracy talent.)
— if your society's level is higher, the more benefits you could unlock (e.g: new furnitures, higher capacity, new items in society coin exchange shop such as dia ticket, & society mv outfits for each character)
All in all, this game is a pleasant one to play ! Quality music and mvs, immersive story, beautiful characters and outfits~ (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ If you've came this far, I appreciate you reading this post, thank you.^^ I wish everyone good luck on their pulls!

I have been fan of ES since the trailer of the anime was released and got to play this few weeks ago. I know how the basic stuff works coz I play FFNJ, the thing I didn't expect is TO SEE THE DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY DURING THE LIVE STAGE PLAYING. I got normal worst beginner score because my eyes busy staring elsewhere LOL. Restraint the temptation to play every scout, save resources for only 5 stars card unless you are VIP player(⌐■-■)✨hehe. Read new story give 30 dias, music live stage from story give 100 dias, more than 50 dias(I don't remember) from daily quest. Some stuff will be available when account reached certain lvl like Society(mostly like Guild stuff) where you could get some useful coins. Society live stage available on Fri, Sat n Sun at 7am till 1pm the next day because server reset on 1pm(Depend on country time like +/- gst). There are daily login gift and exchange gift with in game friends. I dunno what's to add. Maybe because I'm Fan of ES, I don't say what's the bad stuff of the game but anyway ENJOYYY!!!
I guess any sexy choreography got u huh?
I love Ensemble Stars for the story, music, as well as character design. The story takes a serious note on the world of idols and how there's more to an idol than you think. The story gets a lot darker, like there's a reason it's rating is 17+. I won't say anything, just be aware you might run into some trigger warning stuff you dive further into the story. Other than that, Ensemble Stars Music!! is a typical rhythm gacha game where you collect cards, play songs, and like Project Sekai, watch 3D MVs where can interchange the dancers between 49 different idols as well as clothes. Fair warning, it's a bit hard to get event 5*s. But if you skip the gacha and focus on the event, you might get it.
