I have a big SIF shaped hole in my heart and the recent news of SIF 2 being ported to global servers in March just for the service to be terminated in May really got to me. This was a part of life taken away from me. The events at 3 AM, the brutal rates, the simplicity of it all ...
In truth, Bushiroad really tried to milk this game for years. I don't think it was meant to be as successful as it was and by the time it hit the fifth anniversary, it was supposed to be over, yet it limped its way into the 2020s, when the idol mania had cooled off. For what it was, School Idol Festival had a good run, I saw the anime because of this game and I think idols in general got popular in the west because of this game, a first of sorts. First in gacha mechanics, first in monetization, some people forget this game came out in 2013. So, let's say goodbye to history, goodbye to my Umi Sonoda cards, but let's not forget what it was and what it brought to the table.

This was my first experience with anything Love Live, didn't know anything about it or the characters, just thought it was fun. Was a very big fan of Rin.
Now, like 7 years later, I've finally started actually watching the anime, and have just learned that this game ended after wanting to play it again.
still a very big fan of Rin

miss my girls
Played it when I was in high school, so I'm not a pedophile. I don't regret playing it; gacha is really addicting and the musics are also very cool. I'm now addicted to League of Legends and don't give a fuck anymore about idols
I still think about her, but my wallet is probably better for this
I have rather fond memories of playing it every day for a month straight in 6th grade alongside my best friend (we then dropped it and never played again)... A senior (and friend of ours) at our school was literally just like Mari Ohara fr so it was very funny to both of us. RIP.
i used to take bathroom breaks in middle school to play during events when my energy was full
rest in peace
they cancelled this game on my birthday.
I loved this game and events were pretty fun sadly the newer groups after Muse didn't click with me.
Te extraño como el primer día que te fuiste pipipi comenzo mi ludopatia en temprana edad
Gone, but never forgotten.
llsif you will always be famous rest in peace
love hate relationship with this god damn game. nico nico nii and all that.
This game fell off so hard.... F
come back
I will never forget the day I made my first gatcha purchase: It was 2015, spent $3 for a guaranteed UR, got the only girl I dislike.
It made me so angry I haven't spent a single cent in gatcha ever since, thanks you LLSIF for preventing a gambling addiction.

It’s a shame this game ended its service. I don’t think I ever had so much fun with a rhythm game, besides loving the characters to death. I cried when it ended, played it for like 6 years
I don't think I "completed" this per-se but I did sure as hell get to the most recent stuff back in the day and the whole things dead now so fuck it
Love live works as a good gateway drug into other, better idol stuff and that's about it. The characters are alright, the songs are bangers at best and passable at worst, and the rhythm gameplay works fine enough for the type of game that it is, though I do remember having issues playing this game on larger devices where my thumbs don't reach. But it is popular and (was) accessible so I think it still has merit in getting people to see if idol shit is really for them or not, and to use it as a stepping stone for god knows what. At least that's what I did, I guess. Just a B-tier game all-around.
(i am also biased because the love live community has pretty much wrung out any last semblance of worth or meaning to this series for me due to overexposure so blegh)

miss this game :(
played this game since 2014 till it died ... you go to Spain once and the next thing I know was that I completely lost my fucking You Watanabe UR collection. Whored myself out for google play giftcards for this shit, but at least I got that full combo on Solider Game and Happy Party Train on Master in the end.
You will be missed, SIF. This game had one of the greatest song lists imaginable, but was built on a fairly bad engine. I still enjoyed my time.
The game went downfall starting 2020, but it was such a fun game and I spent so much time on it. I really miss it..
gave me carpal tunnel, still liked it though.
sad to see it get run into the ground by devs making questionable decisions

Oh, right, I played this one at the times. As a rhythm game is serviceable, but I wouldn't play those same songs over and over and over as the chore list/homeworks that this F2P offers. Sunou Haration, memes aside, is unironically good still. Just like many others.
Ah, ri ght, if I have to simp one girl I'd say the Honk, I guess.
