Project DIVA sets the direction the rest of the series would follow. Being the introductory title into the series, some notable features introduced in later titles are absent.

	~~Of particular note~~, there is no Extreme difficulty setting~~. Given the lack of use of the d-pad~~, ~~this~~ is ~~probably~~ for ~~the best~~.		* There are no multi-notes from the arcade, nor are there any doubles or sliders.
			* The game pad does not serve as an allegory to the face buttons.
	Accuracy rating (COOL, FINE, etc.) is displayed in the lower right of the screen instead of with the combo counter. ~~This makes it hard to tell if your timing~~ is ~~off as your eyes have to wander away from~~ the ~~main play area to see. Sega would later shift the accuracy rating to appear alongside the combo counter~~.		* There is no Extreme difficulty setting, which is what the series would become known for.

	Sega released a "partner" game called Dreamy Theater for the PS3. The game required a save file from Project ~~Diva~~ on the PSP, which the game would check for (via USB connection) every time you started it up. High scores and module unlocks were carried over from the save file on the PSP into the PS3 game, but the reverse was not possible.		Sega released a "partner" game called Dreamy Theater for the PS3.

	The original Project ~~Diva~~ for PSP is notorious for frame skipping. Sega was building their own engine from scratch for this series, and they wanted the graphics to be impressive for the system and its time. Unfotunately this means that actual game play can suffer as the framerate dips as low as 15fps at times.		The original Project DIVA for PSP is notorious for frame skipping.

	If the PVs in Project ~~Diva~~ seem a bit "generic" that's because Sega was going for sets that could be re-used across multiple PVs. While the home games would not see much re-use of these sets, quite a few of the early arcade PVs would. Sega would quickly shift focus away from generic re-usable sets and focus more on dedicated sets for each PV for each song.

	Project ~~Diva~~ also features a few PVs which are merely image slide shows. As the arcade would go on to feature full-motion video PVs, it's conceivable Sega wanted to do this for the PSP but could not due to both limitation of the PSP hardware and of hardware video acceleration at the time of the PSP's launch. Sega turned the limitation into an opportunity by featuring fan-made art into these slide show PVs.		Project DIVA also features a few PVs which are merely image slide shows.
