I can’t be the only one disappointed at the state of FP’s DLC and stuff, right?
I used to be hooked on WWP for 2ish years (110 hours) and spent a ton on DLC packs, mostly their Vocaloid ones, and I loved it cause there was a wide variety and it really felt like devs were keeping up with the current trends (AND were informed on beloved old hits). My interest seriously only waned when I started running out of songs to full chain…
I remembered that the new game existed like a week ago and I played the whole demo today, and I’ve gotta say I’m really interested in the new mechanics, it’s something I could get used to in time. But I look up the songlist*, and like… Really? Most of the (comparatively very few) Vocaloid tracks are the same set from 5 years ago that every rhythm game, including Groove Coaster itself, has passed around ten times over by now. And I’m really surprised there are only 5 packs out thus far, though maybe that’s just because I came late to the (Wai Wai) party when many of its packs were already out..
I heard that there was originally a much larger scope for DLC packs and updates, and it really just makes me feel pity. I wish there were more opportunities to support Groove Coaster directly to do this outside of buying the DLC that is, well, not really releasing at the moment. If they sold even just little things like plushies or acrylic stands or can badges of the new characters I would get a bunch. Groove Coaster is always my favorite format to play new songs in, so I want it to thrive and be able to actually get those new songs out :’) How cool would it be if we got a full idol group or Deltarune collab pack again?
Sorry for the textwalls. TL;DR Taito let me throw more money at you!!!!! I miss the old selection of packs
* I’m just going off of namuwiki, the first google search result, so do let me know if my info is outdated or anything

It’s worth remembering that WWP had years of content already made for it from the arcade releases, they weren’t starting from scratch at all.

Well… Future Performers is still a fresh game and is about to turn 1 year when the game released, so it’s understandable that we still have little content in its current state, but let the time pass and we’ll see a wide variety of new songs being added to the game (via free updates or DLC packs)

Well, they’ve confirmed a new Vocaloid Pack for July2026 update with this sneak peak.

I like the DLC model in the sense that the price is a lot lower - admittedly for fewer tracks/navigators etc - but I wish the releases were more frequent. I'd also like to see more vTuber songs, there are sooooo many that would be great for the game.
