Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

Is it really grounds for lowering the difficulty of one level just because other levels harder than it came out? I think this is like saying "If we release 8 more RATO-esque levels, then Grand Gallop Chromatique is no longer FGO because there are so many more crazy FGOs." I think an FMO is an FMO, regardless of the levels that follow.

Also, as far as the difficulty 13 rating, I think it should be "Hardest" like Patashu said. We have an Easiest and not a Hardest? All this trying to come up with the best word to describe the person playing it just isn't doing it for me.

Well, that's why we're talking about adding a 13, not to downgrade the other FGO's, and I was talking about GoSW personally.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

That could have a potentially negative connotation to it, especially to people who are new to the site and unfamiliar with FFR/SM lingo.

I don't think FVO would work.

Yeah, it was just an idea I was tossing out there.
Lemme think of a few other possibilities.

OK! Here is an idea.
FDO - For Deities Only
lol

Actually, forget that. FLO is the best idea and it sounds pretty awesome.
I would go with FLO.

I don't see the correlation between my post and this one. You said that, with all the new hard FMOs, GOSW is no longer FMO. At least, that's the reason you gave behind lowering GOSW's difficulty. If it isn't an FMO for the reasons of its own ease, then that's one thing; I was just saying that lowering a level's difficulty because hard levels were released isn't a good reason to lower it's difficulty in my opinion. Hence the GGC analogy.

Now, changing the standard of FMOs is something different entirely.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

Lol, if there will be a difficulty 13, it really should be FLO. FEO is alright, but it sounds funny because feo means ugly in spanish .

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

difficulty 13 = ultimate? excruciating? intense? extreme?

would any of these be plausible? (difficulties shouldn't be restricted to "For ___ Only")

[HammyMcSquirrel]

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

"For GG_Guru Only" or maybe just "!".

Hardest sounds the best to me out of the options so far. I also like Foilman's idea with having "Beginner", "Master", and "Guru" as replacements for those other three names, but I don't mind it either way.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

I remember when Silence and FotBB had no difficulty names...

Anyway, my preferred list (not that I have much influence) would be..

1. Easiest
2. Beginner
3. Very Easy
4. Easy
5. Standard
6. Tricky
7. Difficult
8. Very Difficult
9. Challenging
10. Very Challenging
11. Master
12. Guru
13. Insane

Kinda combined thoughts from all earlier posts.

2. Beginner
3. Very Easy
4. Easy
5. Standard
6. Tricky
7. Difficult
8. Very Difficult
9. Challenging
10. Very Challenging
11. Master
12. Guru
13. Insane

This one I like, insane sounds like a 13 difficulty.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

I liked For Legends Only, but seeing as how the acronym is a bit overused, I guess Insane will do.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

I think For Beginners, For Masters Only, and For Gurus Only makes sense because each difficulty finished the phrase of this song is, such as this song is Very Difficult or this song is For Masters Only then. For Beginners and not For Beginners Only makes sense because those who are not beginners can obviously handle it. For Legends Only sounds good because people aspire to be masters or gurus or legends, not to be insane. That would probably cause beginners who are not sure if they should get into the game to feel like they're treading down a dangerously addictive path. People who are not masters or gurus also probably secretly like the Only part because if they go against the name of the song, play it, and pass it, they feel as if they've accomplished some part of eventually being a master, guru, and perhaps now legend. If another Only difficulty is still rejected then what happened to Very Tricky? Hardest would make sense only if there is a hard and very hard since there is an easy and very easy for easiest. I think the reason why the generic term easy is used to describe the lower difficulty songs while a more specific term like guru instead of the more generic term hard is used to describe higher difficulty songs because a specific cool title sounds more rewarding as opposed to a degrading specific title for the lower difficulty songs like pansy. I'm sure Light and Heavy were not included even though (For) Beginner(s), Standard, and Challenging were used from DDR because difficulty names would go more towards the area of anorexic and sumo wrestler.

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

Hardest makes sense because we already have an Easiest.

[HammyMcSquirrel]

Re: R1 - Actual Song Difficulties V2

Hardest would make sense only if there is a hard and very hard since there is an easy and very easy for easiest.

Hardest makes sense because we already have an Easiest.

I also want to add that the term "Hard" can be viewed as "Difficult", and we have a "Difficult" and "Very Difficult" category already. So it makes even more sense when looked at in spEXartELITan's logic.

Edit: I suppose "Challenging" can be compared to "Hard" but...eh, you get the idea. =P Basically just saying that it makes plenty of sense because there is enough for it to be related to like "Easiest" is.
