2:22 the megamix version just got up and left lmao

[JazyyWazyy]

it really depends on PV's. i think the ones with a darker aesthetic look much worse with the toon shader but ones with a colorful aesthetic look better

[strudel_doodles]

I wish there was some sort of mix between the shaders, as MegaMix is too bright and saturated, yet Future Tone kinda puts *too* much detail making the characters seem doll-like and uncanny

[boredstudent]

I have both Project DIVA Future Tone and MegaMix so I've seen what they both look like. It's cool that the PC version lets you change the visuals. Me personally, I like the Future Tone visuals just a little more than the MegaMix. maybe cause on the Nintendo Switch it looks more low res. Maybe those visuals look better on PC at either 1080p or 1440p, 4k, whatever.

im really not a fan of the more cartoony looking shading however in some of the music videos I like it for example in zenbonzakura I liked how rin looked with the newer shading

[altair]

I think i prefer the future tone visuals, they feel a lot more polished to me than the mmd look of the toon shaders. really cool that it lets us switch between them!!

It's kinda weird in Senbonzakura when Future Tone was bright, MegaMix was darker. But when MegaMix was bright, Future tone become less bright.

[salmonfishe]

the toon shader on megamix is honestly really nice looking, especially if you actually view it on a switch, because of the smaller screen and all, but it seems to ignore the lighting in some of the pvs (romeo and cinderella is a good example). a shame, because it looks really weird and i'm sure it could look better and more balanced if it was tweaked

[Pteriidae]

I think realistic vs cartoonish aesthetic differences aside, I'd be willing to wager the one on the left wouldn't look much worse than the right one (if at all) if only the white balance on the characters was adjusted properly to their surroundings. The shadows are way too subtle and oftentimes the models are far too bright, making it feel like a poorly composited video on top of the background rather than being part of the environment.

Like a lot of people have said, there’s different aspects that are good\bad about each. For example, in the pv for Acute, Kaito’s hair looks greasy in mega mix and his clothes look flat, whereas the shiny and flat the shiny look suits Miku in the pv for Teo
Edit: I’d like to add that I kinda wish that we could have the skin color of mega mix, everyone looks *too* white and kinda transparent

[lilacbombs_]

people rag on megamix's visuals, but tbh I don't think they look that bad at all. Only thing I think is definitely a step down is the lighting-- in some pv's its really not noticeable, but in others like the romeo and cinderella one, it's really noticeable. Some kind of color grading or cell-shaded... well, shading would've been a big help I think

[noctisarcanus]

This game seriously needs and option (or a mod) that enables to set the graphics style for each individual song, just like the buttons sounds or the modules. There are songs that look amazing in FT style while others look gorgeous in MM style and it's a pain in the ass to remember to toggle that option on or off before playing each song.

[sunset]

I like certain aspects of both versions. I like the clothing on Future Tone, but I like the hair a lot tbetter on Mega Mix. I feel like the shadows should've been something that on both versions.

[originaldoku]

It's really nice of them to add the option of switching visual styles in the pc version. I was on the fence, cause I like the future tone style more (they have noses lol), so that convinced me

[belleflower]

i love megamix's shading a lot bc its my introduction into the series but they really did the Romeo & Cinderella PV dirty, they should at *least* add dynamic lighting to the model :(

[akreanimated]

I NEVER KNEW WHAT I WAS MISSING THIS WHOLE TIME HELLO I’VE BEEN ROBBED

[idontknowwhattoput]

Yo I did a side-by-side comparison of this video and a couple of videos of Megamix (on switch) and help why is Megamix style on Megamix+ significantly less bright than Megamix

[mikudayo_biggest_fan]

for me not only does it depend on the aesthetic but also sometimes the future tone looks better just because it takes glowyness better

[tsuki]

i’ll NEVER understand people who prefer toon shader

[hoppinggnomethe]

Acute, Romeo & Cinderella, Senbonzakura, and Rolling Girl ❤
They are still some of my favorite Miku songs of all time
