    The new "Vivid Arrows", what do think about them?

    I personally like that there are now colored arrows. I can see the notes better and determine what kind of steps they are. But I like the La Luna steps better. I liked them just red and blue. I got kind of wide eyed when I played Contradistinction. I didn't really like the light yellow steps. What do you all think?




    *EDIT SYNTHLIGHT* -- Arrow colors were shifted by accident yesterday. The arrow color was pushed 1 arrow down which screwed everything up. It should be fine now.

      I think they need some work... the colors don't actually correspond to the beat or anything it seems. At least in la luna caida, the colors seemed more or less random
      Reach: there was this bee. i hate bee\'s...i tryed to kill it, but then it didn\'t die and it started making weird noises so i was like oh (#$% hes gonna sting me. i started running but i triped over some rock and rolled down a hill into the river.

          I can't wait for the arrows to appear in the Classical songs, so I can see what the hell I'm trying to hit.
          I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                  They kick ass. It's much easier to tell how fast you need to hit each arrow

                      I've only tried Contradistinction because I'm not very good...and personally I don't like them at all . Hopefully it's just because of the song.

                          Well, at first I got excited...arrows that tell the beats, just like in DDR! But Alt's right, they don't even seem to correspond with the speed. I mean it's great for telling the arrows apart, but that's about it.

                          They do look cool, though.

                              I feel the exact same way about this as Kilga.

                              Still, though, I am probably going to have to wait until the speed mods in R2 to be able to do decently at any of the harder songs.

                                  Good feature, but as altairian says colors should correspond to 4th, 8th, 16th, etc.

                                  Yellow arrows are not bad for me.

                                      Eh, I just played Contradistinction, and thought they kind of messed up the experience a bit. They work in DDR (although I don't "use" them), but for FFR I druther see just the blue.

                                          I dont like the new arrows, but I have no choice. I used to be able to tell what each beat was(I'm good at the beat thing) but now its all messed up and half the beats they colored are incorrect, not to mention the multiple colors(specifically yellow) are harder to see.

                                              The yellow ones are hard to see. They would be hard to see on songs like FF7. They're pretty cool, but I think it's better with just the blue. It would be mad hard to play with the harder songs. But I think it would be good for the inexperienced.

                                                  i think it makes the game more challenging, if the colors aren't done for specific beats, but as a way to make easy stepfiles harder...

                                                  Another way to throw off the mind, you know.

                                                  I am not sure if that is the real intention of the colors, but it could be an awesome use for them

                                                      These are not vivid arrows, these are note arrows (that don't really go along with the notes.) The way vivid arrows work, each note in the measure is assigned a different color and they rotate in sequence.
                                                      For example, 4 beats might be:

                                                      1 - Red
                                                      2 - Green
                                                      3 - Blue
                                                      4 - Purple

                                                      And the way it works, all the 4th notes end up being the same color ~when they hit the bar~ (because the colors are changing), all the 8th notes end up being the same color, etc.

                                                      Hope I made sense.
