Skill Token Unlocks
Posted on: July 27, 2007, at 05:25:12pm

I think a few of the latest skill tokens are using harder songs to unlock easier ones, or easier ones to unlock harder ones. Example case 1: Sail AwaY (difficulty 9) is unlocked by FCing three difficulty 5 songs. Example case 2: Prelude to Rites (6) is unlocked by matching a limited breakdown on Evil Approaches (9). I don't expect the token and unlock to match difficulties exactly, but I think they should be close. There's something odd about being able to unlock a token you can't play well (case 1), or not being able to unlock a token you should be able to play well (case 2). I don't completely agree with unlock/token combinations like these two. Case 1 isn't as bad as Case 2 though, IMO. Being able to unlock a harder song gives you a new song to play. Not being able to unlock an easier song is more annoying/frustrating than encouraging improvement, I think.
