Contains torrents for the games along with the emulator installer and bios. Now updated with the latest PCsx2 SVN beta client, plugins are automatically included. Thanks to Anonymous for this.

And before someone asks again for the lossless albums:

Thanks to Yuyucow and Anonymous in previous threads for digging up the links. Foobar can play the .tta files but if you feel like converting them to .FLAC or whatever for your MP3 player/Media player of choice then Foobar also provides an easy convert tool. Takes about a minute to convert the albums over to FLAC.

The Janitor is one person. Do you think it realistic that he could possibly show the same level of detail to all threads on /jp/?

Assuming the Janitor even has a bias, you have 2 situations.
A) Janitor treats AT threads the same as he treats the rest of the board, resulting in shittier AT threads.
B) Janitor keeps treating AT threads the same way, and the quality of AT threads increases.

In no situation will the quality of the rest of /jp/ go up, so really, all you want is for the AT threads to be allowed to have a higher frequency of shit posts escape deletion. I really can't understand your thinking.

A)...which would result in being on the same level as the rest of /jp/ and eliminate any leg-up given towards threads the janitor personally enjoys.

Same concept as the first two games, just now in 3D. Your reyvateil of choice picks a song, you can 'purge' her when needed and you can instantly protect her when the warning flashes but otherwise you'll just be running around hitting stuff and kiting. I'm sure YouTube has videos of various fights in AT3 to give you an idea.

I'm sorry, I jumped on AT2 right after finishing AT1 oh god Shurelia is adorable and the new battle system is confusing me.
How exactly does the emotion system thing work? I get that the purple graph thing is supposed to show the Reyvateil's "wishes", do I just need to try to get my actions in the shape they want? Like, if they show a pyramid, do I need to do <- ^ and -> actions so it fits as much as possible?
Between managing songs and attacking, I seem to get only 2-3 actions per attack turn, I can't really fill out most of them.
I'd appreciate any tips you might have.

Up boosts harmonics. It does something else (boosts attack, I think; it might have been necessary for level 2, 3, and EX vanguard attacks; you should be able to look it up in the in-game help), but the big effects are that its required for replekia (which you'll get later) and sync magic. (which you can do when the two reyvatails that are active are at 20% sync)

Down boosts psych (which raises defense, IIRC), but once again, the big effect here is that its required for sync magic.

Left boosts the burst rate, which effects how much damage a spell does.

I don't even remember what right does.

Filling one side of the diamond provides a big boost in whatever that side is for. Also, when you get level two magic, you'll need to fill the diamond up to the dot in order to change it to the next level of magic.

bullshit. It's that way during the game plot for comedy purposes and to make up for the lack of porn. Diving into a Reyvateil doesn't mean being lovers, that's still different.
Luca's first level is nothing like her true self, so she doesn't establish any connection as deep as sexual activity with the one diving into her.
It's just useful because she can change the environment and make shit that's impossible in the real world.

Well, Galge games aren't really /v/'s territory, it has never been.
And the reason you can breeze through Ar Tonelico as easily as you can is because the developers kept in mind how it was foremost supposed to be a galge, and not the other way around.
It is no coincidence that absolutely everything revolves around the heroines, the core plot itself and everything you do and that the gameplay part is easy as long as you aren't doing anything outright wrong.

It is almost a nuicance to bring up the titles again, but the Persona games, as so many people bring up in these discussions, are fundamentally different.
The developers of those games wanted to make "an outstanding RPG", and added some dating sim elements (that are sort of irrelevant to any real plot) for added flavour.
Wheras Ar Tonelico has been meant from the beginning to be a Galge foremost and everything else second. The gameplay of Ar Tonelico is meant to add flavour to the galge, the girls, the relationships and the events.

It is sort of the same as with Galaxy Angel and the like, and games like that doesn't really place in /v/.
And I will repeat myself again, if it weren't for the mainstream and companies involved and it being a console game, no one on /jp/ would even question wether or not it's related.

I agree, though I find Ar Tonelico to be good.
Though it may have it's flaws, it is a good story with wonderful characters, and the characters are at the core of everything, so at least they are using what they have in a good way.
It is also very interesting to walk along side of the heroines, then dive into them and find out even more about the heroines, only to find out how and in what way they correspond to the all over plot and to make choices on how to respond in order to best help the heroines/your chosen heroine.
It is a great read, really. Even though there may be some flaws, the dive element thing makes sure there is a certain level of depth to the cahracters, and overall the work is quite notably solid.
If what you want is an RPG, you will most likely be dissapointed, though if you want a galge with wonderful heroines, a nice story and an interesting world with interesting mechanics, then Ar Tonelico is great.

You can't judge the game just because of Gust, I am not really fond of their other stuff either, and the team(s) and people assigned and the kind of work they do is what matters in the end anyway. And Ar Tonelico turned out great.
The soundtrack is also good.

But I don't get it. The JRPG thing is pretty much false, there are even statements explaining how it is all about the girls and how the battles are more of a gimmick.

And secondly, the brand of the company isn't what makes the game, even within companies there are teams assigned to certain projects, the team for this have been an interestin one, and then there is also the thing about how people are actually able to make different things if they so desire or if they are requested to.

There are tons of Console Games that are /jp/ related. To begin there are tons of VNs on them, then the galge market in general has grown quite some bit in the console department, not to be speaking of handhelds in the last few years. There is Im@s, Amagami, Galaxy Angel, and VNs made originally on console such as Steis;Gate and so on. There is Princessmaker and all kinds of different titles like LovePlus etc.
Being on console doesn't make the title tonot be /jp/, the content determines wether or not it is related.

And finally, a work that gets commersially translated seriously doesn't diminish it's /jp/ status if it ever had one that is. If not, then I guess /jp/ can say good bye to all those VNs that are being commersially translated.


/v/ always been about real games with gameplay and with gameplay as it's focus, not galge with girls and girls as it's focus.
/jp/ on the other hand have had galge with it ever since the split as those things went neither into /a/ nor /v/.


So please, explain how this galge is some magical exception that gets a free pass on /v/, because I don't get it. This is different games made to be games with gameplay even if they add some almnost pointless dating mechanic such as the later persona games. This is games made with the girls foremost in mind and where they and the protagonist's relation to them is in the center of everything, and how their relation grows and progresses throughout the story with the heroines at the center.
How does this work? People wouldn't even question Ar Tonelico if it was on PC, translated either by fans or JAST USA or something, even if the games were to be identical to how they are now.

As soon as something starts to use 3D graphics it becomes mainstream and therefore belongs on /v/.

Oh, and nobody plays Galaxy Angel in 3D mode, so that doesn't count.

I agree with your points but regardless of how much you argue it at the end of the day it's still a video game, especially to users who haven't actually played it and instantly get butthurt over a video game on /jp/.
