I was thinking lately about how cool it would be if FFR had a nonstop mode. To make this happen, there should be a Non-Stop button at the bottom left hand corner. At the end of a song, you would receive the amount of credits that you would normaly receive for that particular song, and the "Try another song" and "Try this song again" buttons would be replaced with "Quit" and "Next Song". And this process would continue untill you either lose, or quit. The song selection would go from easy to hard, that way if you're a newb, you wouldn't get owned on the first song played :P. What do you guys think?

RE: Non-Stop Mode?
i think that it is a good idea b/c , like you said, no0bs won't lose on the first song they pick they don't pick the hardest song in the game -
RE: Non-Stop Mode?
This has been brought up, but. Somehow that would totally kill the rankings. I myself would play like 4 nonstop modes and just get 100 million points each time, which is like only 1 hour of playing with me (maybe more. I suck at guessing time frames) But other than that, that would be possibly a good idea.UNLEASH THE DRAGON

We've thought about having nonstop mode, but you really have two options here.
1) Fake nonstop mode that has stops, like in IIDX. Where you can go grab yourself a Coke and read the newspaper before playing the next song.
2) Real nonstop mode where you load 4 or 5 songs at once, which would be a huge bandwidth issue.
Maybe in a later version of FFR, and maybe only for very special people. We'll see.Comment

RE: Non-Stop Mode?
See, I would have no problem with a "Fake" nonstop mode. That would save time for bathroom breaks, meals, ect.Comment

RE: Non-Stop Mode?
But, you could do the SAME THING just by playing normal. And you can completely ignore the uberly hard songs(only like 3 in my opinion but w/e)UNLEASH THE DRAGON

RE: Re: RE: Non-Stop Mode?
Beat me to it Moody i was just about to say that. Can make the endless mode give no points so it wouldnt mess up the rankingsYou'll never walk alone.Comment

RE: Re: RE: Non-Stop Mode?
Guys, this most likely won't happen in any form, because as Synth and others have said in the past, it'd be a terrible strain on the server.
If you want endless, play Stepmania.

About the highscore issues, perhaps a separate highscore list for endless.
And I personally would love an endless mode. And about loading/server strain, perhaps you could just have endless as looping the same song over and over (In that case each song would be highscored with 2 lists, one for AAAs, one for endless).

RE: Re: RE: Non-Stop Mode?
That's a great idea, but instead of having it go from easy to hard. I think you should be able to pick and easy nonstop mode, average nonstop mode, and hard nonstop mode. With the songs sorted into the three categories.

RE: Re: RE: Non-Stop Mode?
Umm, Nintendo, if you made that looping thing available for ALL songs, people could theoretically play until the cows came home on stuff like Trip To The Moon. Plus, having to maintain TWO high score lists for every song?
That said, maybe nonstop mode should be limited to a certain number of repetitions. But as Chardish said, it probably isn't going to happen.Originally posted by thesunfan

You should be able to stop whenever you wanted, or save your progress.

Most of these suggestions I'm hearing I could describe as "insanely complicated to program and not worth the effort."Comment
