The chan quotient on this site must be getting dangerously low for there not to be a thread on this game already. Came out a few days ago.

I don't have it. Hell, I've yet to start Atelier Iris 1 or 2. Talk amongst yourselves.
I saw this for the first time in today's free EGM. I think they gave it straight 6's but it looked nice to me.
I pre-ordered and purchased it day one, but I have yet to open it because I've been playing FFVI like a mad-man. Some guys at the other stores are having a contest on it in a month, but after that I'm all over this.
I haven't played anything Gust has made since like Atelier Ellie. I should correct that.
I should... go downstairs and play this so i can say something besides what's already been said.
The blonde on the box art needs a cock in her mouth. I'd love this game then...
I'd be lying if the same thought didn't pop into my head when I saw that.Quote:

Do this right now:
1: Go to the official US promotional site.
2: Go to "Downloads"
3: Click on the "System" trailer.
4: Profit.
"Insert it into my back."
"Go ahead. Insert it all of the way."
"It's ok. If it's you, I can take the pain."
Wow. Just wow.
Push it all the way?

I don't usually make it past the first hour in a game before it goes back on the shelf, and that i want to go back after playing so long impresses me. The game is constantly adding something new for the player beyond the standard story. The girl thing in battle works pretty well, and that the random battles have a cap is a great idea. There's diving and item creation, and the characters themselves, while not special, are at least appealing enough that you want to know about them and their extensive backstory.
The town and world map exploration is lame, but the backgrounds for each town is amazing, with multiple layers scrolling for an illusion of depth. Paralax scrolling is nothing new, but i've never seen it done so well. It's too bad it's not done more often. Music is also surprisingly excellent.
It's a great fluff rpg, as good as a fluff rpg can get. If fluff rpg's make you sick, stay far away. It has a nice Thousand Arms vibe, but i like it better than Thousand Arms. The dating isn't nearly as deep, unless it becomes so later on.
This is my favorite N1 release besides Disgaea 2.
The other girl gets it stuck in her chest. In a tatoo. Between her breasts.Quote:

Wait... do you get to fuck anime bitches in this game?
No no, it's all just innuendo.
I don't know why you're all into the blond. I prefer the brown haired girl on the left myself.
You really are completely backward.Quote:

If not, I'll just have to eat a few extra bucks on ebay, no biggie I guess.
Last time I looked there was a copy at a local Gamestop, want me to check for you?
A new one? Actually, yes, if you don't mind. I'll post here if I get it on ebay or something.
[Edit]: I just ebayed it. $65 shipped. I didn't want to wait. Thanks anyway, Mech. :tu:
lol Patience. It probably would've cost you almost the same anyway if they had it as I think it was still close to full price.
I also want to tell you to not buy it, but odds are its charming nature will override any suggestions the rest of your brain has to say regarding the intensely boring and über-cliché nature of it all. I couldn't bring myself to finish it even though it's really short. Although that was more because I found out there were multiple endings, and the thought of having to play through the last few areas more than once made me want to stab myself in the face.
But it really is adorable.
You're not the first to say this, and, honestly, that's all I need.Quote:

This game is pretty good, but it's one of the easiest RPGs I've ever played, which sucks because the system seems like you could really get creative to beat enemies, but you don't have to so it's just a waste of time :(.
Also I like the dive system, but I think I'm going to finish it way too early and thus be kind of bored with some of the game unless there's more beyond the 10th level. Lucky me I need a special item before I can continue so I have to wait a bit!
Overall pretty solid game, I think I'm probably about half way through at 14 hours, though I picked Misha's path instead of Aurica so I could always do that too.
ALSO A PARTICULAR REQUEST MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FULFILLED IN A THREAD ON THIS FORUM IN A PLACE WHERE APPROPRIATE.
First look at Ar no Surge. http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/05...ystem-details/
After 3's horrible combat system, I'm glad they're going back to something akin to 2's. Song magic wavelength bar and timing-based defending is back.
Seems like song magic is even more important. You do not want to take on 10 waves of enemies with just your front-liner without being able to wipe 'em all out with a beefy song magic.
