in the past


It's still good, but having F2nd as a starting point for this series really spoiled me. There's several songs I adore in here, but most of it is just okay. The Nyan Cat song can't save this setlist for me, I'm afraid. At the very least, they're all fun to play. I appreciate the Diva Room stuff as a distraction for when I'm feeling burnt out on the rhythm game, but I don't ever want to play a virtual rendition of rock-paper-scissors ever again. Whoever thought it was okay to give that minigame a best 3-of-5 win condition was off their rocker.

project diva f vc sempre será querido e amado

Uno de los mejores, por no decir, el mejor juego musical existente.

the bad side of this game is that it's the literal copy of the old 2009 project diva with some addition new song. imo i enjoyed this a lot because the chart is way more fun and i like most of the song in here <3 Online game addicts ahhh i love you <33


The credits are better than the actual game, no jokes.

im bad at rhythm games but i used to just load it up to look at the guilty kaito module

My first Diva game, loved it a lot! really good tracklist, great presentation and a great sense of rhythm. Loads of bonus content too.

My one gripe with it is the same I have for the Persona rhythm games: the way the game progresses from the easy difficulty to the hardest difficulty is not useful at all. Instead of presenting every mechanic from the get-go and using slower, simpler charts for the easier modes, both of these games withhold mechanics from you, meaning that when you jump from one difficulty to a higher one, you not only have to deal with an increase to speed and chart complexity, but also with a whole new thing that was never taught to you in the first place. It completely hinders what would be a seamless transition otherwise.

To examplify, when you play a vertical scrolling rhythm game (VSRG), you usually have every lane in every difficulty, but in Project Diva F you only have one button on easy, two on normal and all four on hard. This leaves me unprepared for a difficulty increase and also makes easy and normal way too easy.

only has less stars bc you have to use the screen for flick notes instead of using the thumb sticks... also for these games almost giving me arthritis.

grandioso masterpiece!!!!!!!! acho que a única desvantagem é uma escolha ruim de efeitos sonoros (que é consertado no f2nd) que pode atrapalhar a jogatina se tu for nit-picky que nem eu. uma setlist absurdamente boa e eu acho que é um pouco mais difícil que o sucessor.

F1st's only sins are the lack of the improvements made in its successor, especially dynamic hitsounds for each note type, but it's still an expansive and joyful rhythm game to play with an ENTIRELY unique setlist of zero returning songs, making it a wonderful standalone rhythm game that doesn't feel the need to wallow in reincorporation.

If you can only get one DIVA game, I would recommend F2nd, but this one is well worth playing beforehand as a worthy introduction to the series.

the fan made music is 10x better

Super hard for someone like me who was new to the rhythm game genre
It really requires you to synchronise with the music and the beats which I love alot
And it was a pretty fun game play Play overall

Discovering this game at 9 years old caused a long running and extremely embarrassing Vocaloid fixation

i got an epilepsy attack and died while playing this piece of shit game

God I love Tokyo Teddy Bear, Absolute Banger of a song. Most of my time playing was just replaying that one song over and over again and I didn't regret it once

Hey, the star session is good! I don't think this can get any better.

O jogo dá 2 musicas gratis vsffff

Mi primer juego de ritmo y el juego que me introdujo a Vocaloid, gameplay para todas las dificultades con un mappeo bien calculado, animaciones excelentes, buen catálogo musical y subjetivamente el mejor Project Diva

The whole reason I got into vocaloid

Fantastic tracklist of almost entirely new songs to the series, a major visual jump forward compared to the PSP entries, and new mechanics that make this game (and F2nd) stand out among the rest of the PD series even to this day. Only real complaints are that star notes on Vita force you to use the touch screen which sucks ass (and while fixed for F2nd, was never updated here) and the framerate is weirdly locked to 30 FPS on PS3 despite the hardware being more than capable of going higher.

I have a tendency to come back to the Project Diva F games lol

Part of Spring Cleaning 2023

Fun to play, annoying as hell to trophy hunt for. If you're in it for some Vocaloid tracks and far too bright background videos, go for it. If you want to trophy hunt this, skip it, unless you're going to play Project Diva F 2, in which case, play it because it will save you a ton of time in that game. Also, having to "scratch" the screen or touchpad for the star is fucking abysmal and you cannot go back after being able to use the analog sticks in future titles.


this game (along with its successor, f2nd) really shines with its edit mode, making the replay value nearly endless. spent countless hours grinding away some of the most iconic charts made by the community (sega pls bring back edit mode)

Parece que tá virando um hábito meu jogar jogos de ritmos durante as madrugadas que estou com insônia.

This game opened me up to a whole new world I was scarcely aware of. Best song selection in the series too.

The best thing I can say about this game is that it is a functional, rhythm game. But what makes it stand out from other functional rhythm games? The cringy jpop anime aesthetic? The embarrassingly bad music? No thanks!
