1. Introduction
Welcome to my IIDX 7th Style FAQ. You may notice that some parts of this FAQ
are also in my 6th Style FAQ. That's because there's a lot of similarities
between the two games (and to the entire IIDX series in general).
2. Version History
Version 1.01 Written 7/30/04
Konami released information about acquiring potions for Master's Mode. The
information here regarding it has been corrected (was just a wee bit off).
Version 1.0 Written 6/29/04
Finished the notecounts, and corrected for the fact that 7th Style doesn't
have Daily Courses.
Version 0.9 Written 6/1/04
Class Mode information added.
Version 0.8 Written 5/26/04
Added Modifier information, and corrected some errors.
Started adding BPM and Genre data.
Version 0.75 Written 5/23/04
Filled out the songlist, and started with the Double difficulties.
Filled out what I know of the Expert Courses (there may be more locked
ones).
Version 0.5 Written 5/21/04
Initial version
3. How to Play
IIDX is said to have the steepest learning curve in the Bemani series. The
basic gameplay involves hitting keys on the IIDX controller and turning a
turntable. However, as the songs get harder, the note sequences get varied
quite well.
4. Arcade Mode
This is the main mode of IIDX 7th Style. There are 5 choices in here.
Light 7: Note patterns are easier than normal. On entering this mode,
you cannot select any other difficulties, but the full songlist (minus
any unlocks that are still locked) is available for selection. Three
stages, plus an extra stage if you can earn it.
7 Keys: Normal mode. Some songs are not available on certain stage
numbers. Can switch difficulties between Light 7/7 Keys/Another(7).
Note that some songs do not have Another(7) sets.
Expert: Play an Expert Course. There are 9 to choose from, plus any
Original Courses you have, and the 4 Ranking Courses. The Ranking
Courses are based on how many times you've played the songs, and use
the top 20. The Original Courses can be customized using the Original
Course Setting from the main menu (which is available at the start, for
the first time in IIDX CS history).
Class Mode (written in Japanese, the 4th option): No information. This
mode is disabled for 2 players.
5 Keys: Same as 7 Key mode, but the right two key columns are removed from
play. This mode does not track records separately, only clear status. There
is no Light 5 or Another(5) mode here, however.
Note that if Double Play is enabled, all numbers are doubled.
5. Beginner Mode
This is the mode where you should start at if you're just learning IIDX. All
of the songs have been simplified to 1-3 star ratings. All available songs
are displayed, any unlocks do not appear if they are still locked. The
display is similar to the Arcade/Free/Masters Mode song selection, but the
only thing that is tracked is whether you have cleared the song.
6. Master's Mode
Think you have what it takes? This mode will see if you do. It takes
attributes from the Survival Mode of 4th and 5th Style, but there are a few
differences. First off, you can save between songs. Second, you can choose
the songs you want to do. The lifebar takes on an Expert Mode attribute. For
each song you complete, the maximum amount increases by 2% (yes, it goes
over
100%), but your lifebar remains the same as you move between songs. However,
the lifebar will not exceed 198%, so after 49 songs, it will not increase
any
more. If you fail, you will receive an item to be used if you redo the mode.
You can pick from Light 7, 7 Key, or Another(7) modes for this. If you
choose Another(7), songs lacking Another(7) sets will be put on 7 Keys
instead (no escaping The Safari 7 Key here). Good luck. If you complete
Master's Mode, you will unlock Abyss -The Heavens Remix-, which is a secret
song from Beatmania IIDX 9th Style. However, you only unlock the difficulties
at, and below, that which you completed Master's Mode on. Light 7 unlocks
L7/L14, 7 Key unlocks 7K/14K and L7/L14, and Another unlocks all notesets.
If your lifebar reaches 0 during any song, you are failed out immediately.
Your entry is marked as Failed, and in order to continue, you must erase it
and re-enter the name (why it doesn't save to the memory card, or use your
high-score name is beyond me). However, if you fail under certain conditions,
you receive a potion. Also, potions are specific to the difficulty they were
given on. If you have potions equipped and available when your lifebar hits
0, one will be used and your lifebar will recharge to maximum immediately.
Conditions for earning potions:
In order to actually earn a potion, you must clear more required songs than
you have potions (if you have 3 potions for L7, you must clear 4 6-7 star
songs to gain another if you fail)
Light 7: Clear 6 or 7 star songs. No more than 10 potions.
7 Key: Clear flashing 7 star songs. No more than 10 potions.
Another: Clear some of the following songs: 5.1.1, A, Colors (Radio Edit),
DXY!, Get On Beat (Wild Style), Holic, Kakumei, MAX 300, Nemesis, Regulus,
Spica, Stoic, Sync, The Safari, Tomorrow Perfume, or V. No more than 16
potions.
Note that the number of potions you can take into a mode will not be affected
if you use any of them, but it may still increase if you meet the conditions
to do so. Clarification example:
I have 3 potions for 7 Key. I use all three of them, pass 4 flashing 7s, and
then fail out later on. I can begin the next round with 4 potions.
Note that the above is a fictitious example, as I'm not capable of doing
that.
7. Modifiers
There are 7 different modifier sets that can be chosen. You can choose
modifiers in two ways: Arcade style, or Home Version style. Go to the
Options
menu, and select Extra Settings to change this. Push the Start button on any
screen to open the modifier list.
Group 1:
Random: Notes are shuffled, but maintain similar patterns. In Double Play
each controller is randomized separately.
Mirror: Notes are mirrored. In Double Play, they will be swapped across the
controllers.
Random+Mirror: Same as Random in Single. In Double Play, the controllers are
mirrored, and then randomized individually.
Group 2:
Easy: Groove Gauge decreases less with each Bad/Poor, and gains more with
note hits.
Hard: Each Bad/Poor will remove 10% from the Groove Gauge. Note hits
increase the gauge at a normal rate. The 80% pass restriction is removed (can
pass with any percentage), but if 0% is reached, autofail takes effect.
Group 3:
Autoscratch: Can be set to one or both sides in Versus/Battle/Double.
Turntable notes (called scratches) do not need to be hit. Using this mode
will cause the Records to remain unaltered.
Group 4:
Battle: In 2P Mode, enabling this will give both sides the Single notes. At
the end of the song, the two players are compared by Expert Score, and the
player scoring higher is deemed the winner. This must be chosen before you
start your game. Enabling this in Double Play mode will have the same
effects, but no scorekeeping will be in effect.
Group 5:
Double: One player plays with 2 controllers. This must be chosen before you
start your game.
Group 6:
Hidden: Notes disappear before reaching the bottom.
Sudden: Notes appear about halfway down the screen.
Hidden+Sudden: Notes are only visible for a short time near the center of
the screen.
Group 7:
Hi-Speed: Alter the speed of the song. Normal Speed, or HS1-4 can be chosen.
In Free Mode, Hi-Speed settings can be saved for each individual song. Go to
Options Mode and look at Extra Settings to turn this on or off. This is the
only modifier that can be altered in Masters Mode after starting.
Masters Mode and Battle modifier glitch:
If Battle is enabled before starting or resuming a Masters Mode game, only
half of the notes will show judgements, but all of them will be judged.
However, final grade results only take into account 1/2 the total note
count.

9. Expert Courses
Expert Mode uses a special lifebar. At the beginning of a course, you start
with 100%, rather than the default 22%. You play over 5, or more, songs,
with your lifebar transferring in the same state from one song to the next.
You can choose between Light 7, 7 Keys, or Another(7) difficulty (double the
numbers if in Double Play). Light 7 will bump all difficulties down by one,
while Another will raise them by one. Another cannot be chosen for courses
that have all the songs at the maximum difficulty already. If Another is
chosen for a course with some songs at their highest difficulty, they will
not change. Same goes for if Light 7 is chosen for courses with songs at
their lowest difficulty (which is Light 7 for all songs).
If a song difficulty is modified in 7K mode, it's difficulty relative to 7K
is listed. If Light appears, then it is modified for both Single and Double
Play. If Light 14 appears, it is modified for Double Play only. None of the
courses have modifications limited to Single Play, and none of them have
songs set to Another.

10. Class Mode
Class Mode (also known as Dan Mode) is a mode which effectively measures
skill at IIDX. There are 7 kyu (5 on Double) and 10 dan courses. The
progression starts at 7-kyu, going to 1-kyu, then it goes to 1-dan going all
the way to 10 dan. The courses for Single and Double are different. Scoring
is the standard IIDX scoring system (instead of Expert scoring), and you are
given an Achivement rating at the end based on how many notes you hit. This
Achievement amount is what is displayed on the Internet Ranking, your actual
score will not appear if you enter the IR code you receive. Also, IR codes
for Dan Mode are saved on your memory card, press Select while looking at
the records to view the code. Letters are in white, numbers are in purple.
It is not possible to alter the difficulty of the courses, and the only
selectable modifier is Hi-Speed.
Internet Ranking Note: If you enter a score for a course more difficult than
the hardest one you already have a score for, your other score will be wiped.
You can only have a ranking for one course at a time, since the courses are
difficulty progression.

11. Unlocks
There are only two songs to unlock: Abyss -The Heavens Remix- and
Murmur Twins. Abyss -The Heavens Remix- is unlocked by completing Master's
Mode. Completion of Master's Mode will only unlock the difficulties of Abyss
-The Heavens Remix- equal to and below the level you completed (completing
L7 will unlock only L7 and L14 notes, 7K will unlock L7, L14, 7K and 14K,
while [A] will unlock all difficulties). Murmur Twins is unlocked by playing
every song new to IIDX 7th (every song in blue). Whether or not you clear
the song does not matter.
There is also a gallery here, but little information is known on it.
These are the pictures I can clearly identify.
1: Obtain a grade of AAA on any song.
2: Obtain a grade of AA on any song.
3: Obtain a grade of A on any song.
4: Earn a Border Bonus (80% finish) on any song.
5-8: Clear a song with a full gauge. 1/10 chance (each)
These next 7 are daily pictures. To figure out which day you'd get the
picture for, 7th Style uses your PS2 timezone settings to figure out what
day it is in Japan, and it will give you the picture for that day. There are
no daily courses. The acquisition method for them is the same, clear an
Expert Course with a full gauge and a grade of A or better. The picture you
get depends on the day:
9: Monday
10: Tuesday
11: Wednesday
12: Thursday
13: Friday
14: Saturday
15: Sunday
These next few pictures require a grade of under A. Note that Expert scoring
cannot be used in Free Mode in 7th Style, unlike 6th Style and previous.
16: Clear a song in Expert or Masters Mode with less than 20% on the gauge
17: Clear a song in Expert or Masters Mode with between 38% and 20% on the
gauge.
18: Clear a song in Expert or Masters Mode with between 40% and 58% on the
gauge.
19: Clear a song in Expert or Masters Mode with between 60% and 78% on the
gauge.
20: Clear a song in Expert or Masters Mode with between 80% and 98% on the

12. Scoring System
Flashing Greats are worth more than Greats. Each song is worth 200,000
points maximum. You can gain the following bonuses:
Border Bonus: Finish a song with your groove gauge at 80% in normal mode for
a bonus of 5730.
Great Bonus: Finish a song with all Greats or better (Poors resulting from
extra note hits don't count) for a bonus of 3110.
Flashing Great Bonus: Finish a song with all flashing Greats or better
(Poors
resulting from extra note hits are excluded) for a bonus of 4620.
Great+Border Bonus: Achieve both the Great and Border bonus for 11900points.
Note that this isn't a straight addition of the two above bonuses.
Flashing Great+Border Bonus: Achieve both the Flashing Great and Border
bonuses (very difficult) for 19900 points.
Note: It is not possible to actually earn the Great Bonus in this style due
to an unfortunate bug. If you meet the conditions for the Great bonus here,
the shiny Great bonus is assigned instead. This bug somewhat leaks over into
the Great+Border bonus as well, by claiming to assign the shiny Great+Border
bonus, but actually giving the correct bonus of 11900 points. Thanks goes to
Crystal for verifying that (as I can't actually GET that bonus yet).
No bonuses are possible when playing in Expert Mode, as the scoring is
different. The Great Bonuses can be applied in Class Mode, however, but the
Border Bonus cannot be earned due to the different lifebar.
EX Score: This is used to determine your DJ level, and for records.
Flashing Greats are worth two points, Greats are worth 1, all other
judgements are worth 0.
Grading System: The IIDX grading system is standard to the series, for the
styles that give you grades. While 7th Style will display your grade
automatically, you can use this information to figure out how many more EX
points you need to get a higher grade, or the grade you would have gotten on
an older style that doesn't use grades (such as 3rd Style). To gain an AAA,
you need 8/9 of the total possible EX points. AA needs 7/9, A needs 6/9 and
so on down the line. The lowest grade with a requirement, E, needs 2/9 of
the EX points, if you are lower than this, you will receive an F.
13. Cleaning Your Controller
This section only applies to the official Konami IIDX controller.
The official IIDX controller is designed to be taken apart. Separate the
main key unit from the controller by pressing the eject button underneath
the controller and pulling the key unit away. Turn the unit upside down and
remove the 6 screws. They are all the same, so don't worry about mixing them
up. Remove the underside of the controller, then take out the two screws
connecting the PCB to the buttons. They are differently colored from the 6
you removed earlier. Take the PCB out carefully (note that it only goes on
in one direction). Make sure the unit is still upside down or the main keys
will go flying. Remove the rubber from each of the keys (the rubber attached
to the Start and Select buttons is a little different, and cannot be put on
the main keys). Remove the keys themselves, and clean around the sides.
Afterwards, put the keys back in, attach the rubber (make sure the keys all
sink into their slots). Attach the PCB (if you're putting it on incorrectly,
you won't be able to see all 6 screw attachment holes. If this is the case,
reverse it), then use the two silver colored screws to screw it down. Place
the black bottom onto the unit (make sure you can see the 6 screw holes,
reverse it if you can't) and then reattach it. Slide it back into the main
unit.
14. Additional Frequently Asked Questions
This section is for information that doesn't really fit in any other
section.
Q: The game won't let me select 7 Keys, or play any of the extra modes!
A: The game thinks you have a 5 Key controller. This option is set when you
start the game without system data available. If you initially set your
controller to Original 5 Keys, you will need to go into the options and set
it to Original 7 Keys (only if you have a 7 Key IIDX controller). If you do
not have a 7 Key IIDX controller, you can set the option to DualShock 2, and
use your PS2 controller to play the extra modes. Note that Player 1 and
Player 2 have this option set individually (Player 1 can be set to Original
7 Keys, and Player 2 can be set to DualShock 2, for example).
Q: I'm left handed. Is there any way to switch the controller around so
I can hit the keys with my left hand and use the scratch with my right?
A: Sure, at least with a Konami IIDX controller. The key unit is separable
from the main unit. Underneath the controller, find a button, and push it to
be able to remove the key unit. Take the unit out, remove the protective
cover that's on the right side of the unit, and move it to the connector on
the left side. Flip the key unit around so that the newly opened connector
will slide into the main unit's connector. After you've done this, you will
be able to play with the controller switched around from the normal
configuration. With the default options, this will appear exactly like
Player 2's side does, but you can change this if you like in the Options
menu.
If you are using a Rave Discman controller, simply rotate the two sides of
it. I do not know how this works with a Konami Arcade Style Controller, and
I'm not about to dump $430 on one to find out either.
Q: What exactly was the process in getting this game released?
A: It is quite detailed. For a long time after 6th Style, the appearance of
7th was in doubt, due to low sales (I've heard around 10,000, which is quite
pitiful) of 6th. After awhile, Konami finally decided to see how much the
fans actually wanted 7th, so a questionnaire was put up on Konamistyle.com
about 7th. It is believed that these questions helped to shape the final
outcome of 7th. Konami asked for a certain number of responses by a certain
deadline (I forget both items), and this was met well ahead of schedule. The
next step was the pre-order phase. Konami asked for 20,000 pre-orders by
December 20th, which some believed to be impossible, because this gave about
a month to do it. However, this was completed as well, and 7th Style's
release date of May 13 was set at that time. From that point on, it was just
waiting for the thing to actually come out. Copies started shipping on May
13, with a second batch going into production on May 20, and a third batch
shipped on the 24th.
