Trivia[]
- During beta development of -Project DIVA-, there were several features that were scrapped:
- Free DLC songs. All of the DLC songs released were priced, and their PVs were made via Edit Mode only.
- An online multiplayer mode.
- During the game secquence, there would have been an animated screen to show how good or bad the player is. It was later used in another rhythm game: K-ON! Ho-kago Live!!
- A star icon would be appear and the player must slide the analogue stick to press. This was later used in -Project DIVA- f and onwards.
- If the song's energy was low, the music would be scrambled. This was cancelled due the size limitations of the game's data.
- An early trailer for Project DIVA featured the original PVs for "ブラック★ロックシューター (Black★Rock Shooter)" and "貴方に花を 私に唄を (Anata ni Hana o Watashi ni Uta o)", which suggests that these songs were going to be present in the game, but removed in development.
- Dreamy Theater gave new PVs to songs in the PSP version of Project DIVA which previously only had slideshows of fan artwork in display ("Ievan Polkka", "Anata no Utahime", "Electric Angel", "Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu" and "Kogane no Seiya Sousetsu ni Kuchite").
- "桜ノ雨 (Sakura no Ame)" is the only song that cannot be played in Dreamy Theater for unknown reasons.
