Preemptive.

Man, party members sure love to leave at the most inconvenient times in AT2.
I swear Cloche left and came back before I even got to have another fight with enemies.
Still, I'm enjoying it a bit more and it didn't put me in a shitty mood like it did last night. Will play more tomorrow after work.

It's already the 23rd... Feels bad man.

>>7133772
I live in Irvine, sorry for our slow post.

>>7132750
Well, I guess it's time to make a US PSN account.
And apparently Sony doesn't want my dirty non-american credit card either, so now I have to get a US PSN card as well.

No clue where to get one of those though...

I haven't played Ar Tonelico Qoga yet, but how do the Binary World and personality packs work exactly? I don't want to download something yet and end up changing the story or something.

(One answer so far from an anon)
>>7133633
At one point you have to reprogram Harvestasha's shitty personality. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but I assume you get to choose from the packs.

>>7133808
Speaking of her shitty personality, I like it. I want more of her telling me what a worthless, filthy human I am, and how I'm not fit to bask in Her Divine Presence.

Just started AT2 a bit ago, and... damn. They just step up with the constant euphemisms, don't they? I wonder if I'll be past the point where I stop groaning at them at all soon.

>>7133786
I would say it would be simple enough -- but it's all trust-based. PayPal someone (let's just use me as the example for now) the amount you want (20 USD, or 50 USD), then I go to the store and buy the card. Then I email you the number, and you have PSN money.

I'd like to *consider* myself trustworthy, so if this strikes your fancy, I'll post with an email.

>>7133867
there's also ebay

Er... I gotta ask - is this really an official translation?

>>7133888
AT2's official translation wasn't that great in regards to the original.

Whatever happened to that fan translation project anyway?

>>7133862
I'm to the point that I don't even notice them anymore unless they're blatantly obvious.
For example I just saw your pic as her just talking about diving, until I put on my double entendre glasses and saw the obvious.

This isn't because I'm just slow at catching them, I just got that used to them.

>>7133929
>Fan translation project
>PS2 game
I was under the impression that this was impossible.
If it isn't then I am very pissed no one attempted a Amagami Fan Translation project.

>>7133955
It's not impossible, there are a few fully translated games I can think of (Dragon Quest V, Front Mission 5 and Namco x Capcom. There just isn't enough interest in translating PS2 games as there is compared to PC games.

>>7133955
It probably helps that the English font is already on the game. As opposed to Amagami (and most other PS2 VNs), where they'd have to get the font in and then try and find a way to make it fit with the text boxes and such.

how do you beat tilia's cs level 1?

I keep getting that gay ass reset shit

>>7133862

You'll like the dialouge when Croix has to do something for a really sick Cocona during a major part in Phase 3, then....

>>7134244
Oh no. This can't end well.

>>7134271
It does end well..

All you need to do is dive into a little girl (careful, she's not yet fully developed so it's still all warm, sticky and difficult to move around in), break through her boundary gate and fire the gun on your lance while you're still inside.

Nah, it's not all that bad.... honest.

COCONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

hi there /jp/. I'm a audio driver-less anon passing by, and judjing from the awesome art, this series seems worth playin'...but, tell me: what's the ST like? you see, music is one of the things that make me like one game before another,so...

>>7134502
The audio is one of the big selling points of the series. As a bit of background fluff: Everything in the world is based on sound.

Background soundtrack and the central hymmnos are superb.

>>7134502

If you can't play it with sound you're better off not playing it at all.

>>7134594
uh, I'm getting more and more curious about it. I'll wait till I got the audio then.

>>7134502
You mean you judge a game based on how well the soundtrack is? Oh boy, you're gonna love the purger ones.

Just as a heads up, for those of you who want to actually buy the games (either because buyfagging is how you roll or because you don't have a computer that can properly emulate the games,) NIS America recently restocked both 1 and 2 at their store for $20 and $30 respectively: http://store.nisamerica.com/Home?search=tonelico

>>7135064
I'd rather buy japanese version and shelve it than pay for their AT2 translation.

Damn, AT2 is so much better than AT1.
Also, the anon who told me that it gets a bit boring after Phase 1, why would you lie to me like that?
Just finished Phase 2, it was great.
I went with Luca, because girls pretending to like someone and then falling in love with them for real is my fetish.
She's an interesting character, on the surface she's not as cute as the other girls, but getting in her head, and seeing that she's an actual, flawed human being, whose faults are something more than just quirks to make her
more moe, makes up for everything.

The translation is pretty bad, though bearable.
Only thing that pissed me off was pretty early on, few times when Croix says some passive/nice things, they have been changed to sound aggressive and arrogant. What the fuck.

>>7133772

I don't think they update it. Mine said that a few days before release and it arrived at my house in the UK 4 days after release and the site still said it was in Irvine.

>>7135155
Dorodere is the best archetype.

>>7135155
yeah, Level 5 of Luca's Cosmosphere made me want to finish her cosmosphere, but I went with Cloche for the big P1 decision so no dice.

>>7134481

Haven't seen you in a long time.

>>7135155
>Only thing that pissed me off was pretty early on, few times when Croix says some passive/nice things, they have been changed to sound aggressive and arrogant. What the fuck.

Examples?

Obligatory.

>>7135237
Glad to see you again too, 500X500.jpg.

I wish to suppress Finnel and Saki and make Soma and Filament the heroines.

>>7135260
Agreed, Soma was my favorite girl.

>>7135225
Not the quoted poster, but I recall one big one where Croix is inserting the life extending agent into Cloche for the first time. Cloche remarks that she'll strip him of his position and Croix responds with 'Well ain't that nice' or something to that effect. The original jpn dialogue had him doing the whole meek 'even if you say that' protest

>>7135260
Replace Filament with Sakia and I'd agree.

>>7135260
APPROVED.
Let's rewrite AT3 which would lost all meaning now

order of fuck :

soma = filament > finnel = saki > *

>>7135155
>Also, the anon who told me that it gets a bit boring after Phase 1, why would you lie to me like that
Wait, really? I thought the best part of Phase 2 was just for exec_sphilia.It was disappointing for me because I thought things were going to get steadily more hectic like the first game.

>>7135225
Not the same anon but I remember one line from phase 5

After you defeat Infel and Nenesha, Croix said "goodbye" in a polite manner but the translation had him going "tata"

>>7135228

Obligatory Tilia~.jpg related.

>>7135320

Oh yeah? I was wondering why he would say that during a dramatic moment. I was like, "Croix, wut?"

Does anyone know what M・S・G・Y・E・C (track 2 of the At3 soundtrack, the one that repeats "I shall give you endless earth") stands for?

>>7135291
Sakia was definitely the best one in Saki.
Her first and second purges were also awesome. especially the first.

Its too bad you can get the last ones unless you go on their routes, since I spent most of the game with the nurse and soma.

>>7135311

Saki's clothes are a miracle of the universe.

Out of curiosity, approximately how long is AT2?

I sort of ruined Ar Tonelico 1 for myself by barreling through it in three sessions of playing. Not enough time to digest the drama, so to speak. I'm sort of wondering how to pace myself with the sequel now, since it'd be a horrible waste to not get everything possible out of my one and only first run through such a good game.

>>7135642

I finished the game in 40 hours. I didn't got all IPDs nor all the synthesis items and I play at a slow pace.
Also, I don't find Frelia's cosmosphere, the bonus thingy.

>>7135692
Need to slow down then. I was sort of hoping AT2 would be significantly longer than AT1, but I suppose I should just learn to pace myself.

>>7135642

With my playthrough I had dirty reyvateils, no girl power and I didn't dive into anyone past level 5 and it took me around 26-30 hours. I got around 45 or so IPDs too. Did the Cloche route, not that it matters, and also did the extra Frelia 'cosmosphere'. This was me exploring all possible corners of areas though so I'm sure you could cut down on this time by just going direct to your destination and using no encounter items. Obviously I missed out on a handful of talk topics though (80% IPDs, bath topics etc.) so if you're looking for a full route clear you're probably looking at around 40+ hours just to grind the extra topics and such. The only reason I played as I did was because I wanted to do 3 routes in one save to save myself time whilst giving myself a decent challenge after facerolling with vanguards in AT1. Speaking of which I really should get around to doing Luca's route some time..

>>7135642

It's been two years since I played them but to my recollection 2 is a bit longer. I could just be thinking that because it's split into five phases rather than three and there are more significant plot events in 2 that I can recall off the top of my head.

2 arguably has a bit more replay value if only in that you can't max out every cosmosphere in one play, though.

>>7135808

>Speaking of which I really should get around to doing Luca's route some time..

Same. Playing 3/Quoga is making me want to go back and replay 2 and possibly also 1. I'll probably throw those runs in-between my re-runs of Quoga to get all endings.

>>7135859

I still haven't seen Aurica's route either so I may just do the same. I'm curious how AT3 works though since I'm only in phase 2 Been finishing up MGS4 but can you do the same 2-3 routes in one run like AT2? I know there's a bad end that seems easy enough to get but is it possible to get the true/normal/Cocona end all in one playthrough with some tactical save scumming?

>>7135876

Quoga makes it easier in that not only can you New Game+, you can New Game+ to the start of phase 2 (which is before any ending-deciding choices happen) or right before the battle against MYU (a boss that you have a time limit to kill, fail to do so and you can't get the true end, only normal or bad.) NG+ lets you keep experience, money, and DP, but items/CS progress/etc. are reset to how they were at that point (essentially your save file keeps three game states- start of phase 2, MYU, current save.)

The full explanation of how the endings work can be found here: http://artonelico.isisview.org/viewtopic.php?f=144&t=1822

The fastest way to get every ending requires a mix of tactical save scumming and NG+ing.

>>7135642
>>7135692
I finished the story portion in about 35-40 hours so that's probably around the right mark. By that I mean the chosen route, 3rd, and optional cosmosphere.
I know that my AT1 save was a bit less since I was surprised at AT2's length, but I can't give you numbers since my PSMenu-k partition seems to have died.
Getting all the IPDs, items and talk topics probably took another 10+ hours without using a guide, but I probably wouldn't count those.
I haven't seen my crystal chips boot up screen in forever. I guess I should play those ps2 games that are still sitting there.

>>7135960

>No additional ending scene this way, not recommended.

Why do you do this to me, Gust? Making me choose between speed or completion.. urgh. I think I'll just Bad/Normal/True for Finnel this playthrough then just power my way through the game with NG+ with 2:1 with Saki then I'll just abuse saves to get Cocona/Tilia/Saki's endings. Not really fussed missing out on a scene for Saki since I don't really like her anyway.. Thanks for the link.

>>7136020

Heart point 3 and the normal end are only ~3 hours apart, so you can give Girl A the first two heart points, make an alternate save just before giving out point 3, give it to Girl A, get her normal end, reload, give point 3 to Girl B, get Girl A's true end via cosmosphere maxing, NG+ to MYU, then do a Tyria/Cocona run of phase 4 via save scumming.

>mfw I take a casual glance at the AT2 wikipedia page, and accidentially spoil the big surprise about Jaqli just by scrolling past the article.

>>7135960
>a boss that you have a time limit to kill, fail to do so and you can't get the true end, only normal or bad.)

Huh? All the stories I read say you instantly get bad end if you fail to defeat the boss in time.

Though I haven't started on Qoga yet, let alone get to that point.

>>7136125

If you let Saki keep singing at the end of phase 3 you're in the normal end regardless of whether or not you succeeded against MYU. You have to fail MYU and stop Saki to get the bad end.

>>7136139

Oh, okay. Thank you.

>>7136139

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Oh, reposting my post to ask this: How many hours of gameplay time is between MYU and asking Saki to sing/not sing?

WTF is with the massive spoiler in the new dlc description.

>>7136220

NISA forum members say that that "spoiler" is not true. So whoever at NISA wrote that must have been drunk.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who got upset, until said forum members informed me.

"Hmm, I think I'll craft this new weapon"

>Synthesis discussion involves Tatsumi and Finnel discussing 'Maximum penetration'.

The innuendo.. it's too much for me to handle.

>>7136049

What difference what that give me? I'll need 2 hearts for Saki so I'll need to replay from the start of Phase 2 anyway so focusing 3 points on Finnel with bad/normal/true in this run seems perfectly fine to me. Then a NG+ from phase 2, 2:1 with Saki will allow me to get Saki, Tilia and Cocona all within one save. Seems the most efficient way of doing it unless I'm missing something.

>>7136220
>>7136227

What does it say? I haven't bothered making a PSN account yet so I can't see it.

>>7136243

Example:

Ar Tonelico Qoga – Harvestasha Alternative Personality Patch Module [Type A: Tsundere] (Free)
This is a patch for manipulating the artificially intelligent Harvestasha. The final boss of the main story, Harvestasha will have an incredible alternate personality! With the Type A Module, you will experience a “Tsundere,” or cold/lovey-dovey Harvestasha. (This content is mostly voiced.)

>>7136247

I see. I thought she was the last boss? Or her alternate form, at least.

>This content is mostly voiced.

What? I thought the DLC had no voice work?

>>7136258

Well, some forum members claimed the opposite on that spoiler. I guess I'll see eventually when/if I get to Qoga.

>>7136258
Since they were developed after work on the main game had been finished in Japan, they didn't rehire the seiyuu to reprise their roles for the DLC.

When NISA localized it, they took the opportunity to voice some of the DLC since it were already translating it anyway.

>>7136264

It seems I'm wrong. I was thinking of a previous boss fight so she's not the last boss.

>>7136274

So she's only voiced in the dub?

>>7136243

You miss the extra scene in the normal ending if you 2:1 instead of 3:0. So 3:0->normal end->reload to before point 3->2:1 is the only way to get everything without running phase 2->MYU a third time.

>>7136313

I already said that I don't particularly care for Saki hence my 2:1 plan. Is there a trophy for triggering the extra scene or something? Otherwise I'm happy enough to ignore it for Saki.

>>7133772
>The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on March 15, 2011 to expect your package for mailing.

I've got it worse here dude ;_;

>>7136332
>Is there a trophy for triggering the extra scene or something?

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that you need the 3:0 normal for the trophy, but I'm not 100% on that.

I'm sure glad this one only requires 3.55

>Cocona bath scene + cutscene with her and Soma.

Suddenly my dick is hard.

>Uninstall scene with Soma with some of the most suggestive dialogue I've ever seen combined with delicious CG and moaning.

Suddenly I'm fapping.

Taking a look at the Gust wiki it says something about getting 100% in Finnel's cosmosphere but it comes out in gibberish on Google translate - could someone give some assistance here?

http://gustwiki.com/ar-tonelico3/wiki/70.html

Level 3 is the one in question. I'm currently at the choice of Gamble, safe or choose yourself and wasn't sure which one to pick. Normally I'd just pick one and reload if I fucked up but my last save was.. 6 hours ago, I think. ;_;

Reposting from the last thread. My body is not ready.

>You will never have a badass battle robot waifu who doesn't die even when you kill her

>>7136971
Six hours!?

Anyway, rest easy, friend. It just says that the dialogue at following squares changes slightly depending on your choice, and that to get 100% clear in her CS you have to see the event on the Happening square of Yurishica trying to give you an injection.

>>7137370
I prefer maintenance droids that know how to take it easy.

>>7137508

But she sleeps all the time.

When you download the DLC, do the effects take, uh, effect immediately (like if you download the tsundere pack for a certain character, does she immediately turn into a tsundere?)? Or do you have to do something in-game first before you actually activate the DLC?

>>7137593
You don't get to access the DLC until very late in the game, near the end.

> Loli Rorona
> 19 yo Totori

I want a proper scan of this page so much...

>>7137789

Here's some good in-game screenshots to make you feel better (I prefer Siliconera but they haven't gotten this update yet):

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/24/atelier_meruru_screens/

>>7137739
I want to know how... or more importantly why Rorona decided to go loli form... maybe it has to do with crowding the stage...

>>7137941

I wonder if she can go from adult to loli and back at will like Misha can.

Canonically, Rorona is 28 at the start of Atelier Meruru.

That is just a little outside their target demographic's strike zone, so to speak.　　If the game lasts another 5 years, she'd be 33. I'm sure there are other reasons for her lolification, but that probably played into it.

In Tilia's tower now. Anyone getting that weird distortion in the music when it's about to loop? It's ear grating

>>7137941
She wants to appeal to the 変体お兄さん達.

>>7137527
>but she sleeps all the time

So does my cat!

>>7138064
Oh, and it's not really the tower. The area's called lymph vessel and it has kokia singing. There's just some weird sound effect whenever the song's about to loop

>>7137451

Yeah, shortly after making that post I just decided to hell with it and picked gamble to see Finnel hit rock bottom.. again. Got the scene with Yurishica so it's all good. And I started playing and just kind of got into it.. before I knew it I was a decent way into Phase 2 and it was 2AM.

>>7137508

You have a fine taste in droids, good sir.

>>7138064
>>7138099

Yeah, it's supposed to happen.

>>7137814

I must say they've greatly improved their models and such from these screenshots. Now I just wish NISA would hurry up with Totorin..

>>7137814
Oh nice...

They're getting a lot better in translating Kishida Mel's designs into 3D models, that's for certain. His art has seriously improved in the past few years. Probably has to do with using softer mid-tones in the coloring

>>7138140
>Yeah, it's supposed to happen.
Woah, mindfuck right there. I thought there was a problem with my disc initially

And I just beat phase 1 and 2. Everything seems to be progressing too quickly. Like I don't even feel like I've done anything significant and all of a sudden I move on to the next phase. Even phase 1 didn't feel nearly as good as purger and replekia

>>7138642
Yeah, felt the same way myself.

>>7138642

I'd say it's because AT3 progresses along the lines of one continuous plot, at least from my current experience. AT1 and AT2 however had you hitting massive bosses at the end of each phase like it was the end of the game then BAM, new phase shoved in your face taking you in a new direction. It does feel kind of fast though, I'll admit. I was only playing for a few hours and I was in phase 2 and I had accomplished nothing - I was genuinely wondering what the fuck was going on.

>>7138598

Thanks very much.

Oh, by the way, don't know if it's been mentioned before, but avoid downloading the Elemia Island DLC until you get pass Tyria's level 1 CS. It prevents you of getting a certain (and rather shitty) Hyuma, so if you're going for 100%, there's that glitch you should avoid.

>>7138658
>AT1 and AT2 however had you hitting massive bosses at the end of each phase like it was the end of the game then BAM, new phase shoved in your face taking you in a new direction
Yeah, that's what I like about the previous Ar Tonelico games. The first did it much better though but the second game made it up with its character interaction. I'm not seeing what the draw in the third game is yet...'

Listeing to AT2's OST right now and I'm able to appreiciate it much better. Every piece was really memorable. You could play any of the town's theme and I could name it right away. My favourite is enna

>>7138698
The draw of the third game is Finnel.

>>7138698
Well, in AT3 after you end Phase 2 shit stops being aimless, and Phase 4 is (In my rather humble opinion) the best Phase in the whole series.

I do agree, though, it starts off rather slow and weak, though the characters helped me ignore that.

>>7138677
God damn it.
Hopefully they'll patch it out.

>>7138714
You can just download it and install it AFTER you're past said point, as well, so it's honestly not that much of a bother.

But yeah, ATQ has certain issues that could be patched out. 'Unno if they will, though- considering GUST is busy with Meruru and whatnot.

>>7138703
Hoho~
Just one? The first has misha and shurelia and the second has jackuri and cloche and maybe Freila if you're judging her on her cosmosphere

>>7138706

>>7138726

Oh god, why did I type jack

>>7138726
Well, it also has Mute.

And don't take my word as fact, though the climax is really well done, again, in my humble opinion.

Because SOLID SNAKE WITH A CHAINSAW ARM will NEVER leave your heart.

As a fellow fan, I honestly believe in what you think.

>>7138740
Woah, he's only 23 years old in AT3? I thought he was around that age in the game. Must be that cowboy hat

>>7138658

Yeah, AT1/2's phases were defined story arcs with their own climaxes. AT3's story doesn't flow quite the same way, but they referred to the different parts of the game as phases anyway just because it's tradition.

Fuck. Yes.
FUCK. YES.
FUUUUUUCK. YEEEEEEEES.

>>7138820

>>7133701

>>7138642
I think the issue is that shit just happens. Lyner and Croix were actively involved in progressing the plot most of the time, but Aoto's just sort of along for the ride, particularly in the earlier stages of the game. Like, you're rescuing Saki for the umpteenth time, and suddenly one of the major factions make a move with almost no build up or foreshadowing, and then you kick their teeth in five minutes later and that's that. Next!

In the long run it all falls into place, but as it's happening it seems kind of disjointed.

>>7138910

That's actually a good point- I only just started phase 4 so I can't comment on that, but phases 1-3 are pretty much just "Aoto escorts the Reyvatails up the tower, occasionally rescuing them when they're kidnapped."

It kind of reminds me of FF9 and 10 in that respect, where the story was centered more around the main love interest and the MC was just a bodyguard/moral support for the first 60-75% of the game at which point a story arc regarding the MC's origin starts up.

I fucking love Mute.

>>7139228
I seriously would PAY to see her in Shurelia's Binary Field Story.

Or, for the matter, one of Mir's, as well.

>Phase 1 (after the ititial Mute fight..) + Phase 2 on hard mode

Well this is slowly getting easier, I feel like I'm genuinely getting stronger.

>Phase 3 starts

OH GOD, THE RAPE. RAPE EVERYWHERE. Seriously, the difficulty just skyrocketed all of a sudden. I'm actually forced to escape battles otherwise AI Aoto and Gojo just get KO'd nearly instantly.

>>7139300

Well that was fast. It's definately nice to see that there's still a lot of interest in the series in Japan. It's a shame it'll probably take 2~ years to get translated. ;_;

I am only in my second semester of japanese and I am not having a issue with playing the first one. granted I have a japanese wiki (guide) open to follow along as well.

>>7139426
Alright, anyone feel like editing it?

You're free to do so if you find a mistake, I forgot to add. Fix the error and upload it, if you can.

Unfortunately I can't speak/read a single word of moon (apart from whatever I've picked up from games/VNs etc.) so my only option is to wait unless I start learning.. which I have no motivation to do, sadly.

>>7139552
sucks
its tough but I think really rewarding
also why sage?

>>7138677

Fuck. I think NISA should be informed of this.

I am not going to survive this game.

>>7139643

Gust is going to be responsible for the increase in heart attack rates.

I'm not the person quoted above, but I went to the NISA forums to see if anybody else had the same problem, and apparently someone did. It was in an Ar Tonelico Qoga thread called "Bugs." They detailed their problem and how they solved it:

>I'm almost positive that's what caused it. I'll be a little more specific for everyone who wants to check it for themselves. I'm on Saki's route and was just able to dive into Tyria. I had already downloaded the DLC before installing the game. After going through the first 4 events in her cosmosphere you have a choice between two events that both say you receive a Hyuma from them. One always causes a crash out which i believe should happen. The other event that causes the problem is on the portal shrine space. When you first dive in it says you have new events from the DLC and that they are accessible at the shrine. With the DLC installed, when you go to the shrine it seems like they're not making any since with what they are talking about and you get a choice. I tried both and still didn't get the Hyuma. i then exited the game and deleted the game data from the game utility menu. After reinstalling the game and going through the same events i got a different conversation that made since on Portal Shrine and received the Hyuma at the end. Not sure if the choice matters for that event but i chose yes for those who want to test it.

>4-5 (2) On the ground in Nyanya Shop

..uh, I must be going blind or something. There's nothing there apart from Sasha in my game yet I'm missing 4-5.

>5-9 Own a Yakiniku Soda in Slave Block

Any idea where you buy Yakiniku Soda? I bounced around some of the bird shops but I didn't see it.

Also found these whilst looking around, might be useful to edit in places where items can be purchased to save time.

6-8 Obtain a Funboon (Clustania general store)
6-9 (2) After getting Talk topic 1-7, buy a Dokkoi Special. (Archia - Nya Nya Ya shop)

Because it's an offtopic response that wasn't worthy of bumping the thread. I'd have noko+sage'd as usual but a normal sage felt appropriate for that post.

>>7139766
In which Phase are you?

As it says, it's there only for Phase 2, I believe.

>>7139821

Currently phase 3 but I reloaded both of my phase 2 saves (before any hearts were given and before the v-boarding race) and there's still nothing there. I've picked up Saki's from there but Finnel's wont appear for some reason.

>Harve-sama abusing me followed up with EXEC_FLIP_FUSIONSPHERE/.

Fucking awesome.

Is there anyone Tyria needs to visit before we embark on the final mission? Everyone else had some heartfelt conversations with their bestest friends but I can't find or think of anyone who wants to wish Tilia~ good luck.

Isn't it sad?

>Isn't it sad?

Yes, that's why you romance her.

I came. Hard.

aisha ;_;

>>7140305

Still deliciously flat. Gust knows their audience.

I'm playing AT2 on an emulator, and getting a slight amount of input lag which basically makes defense phase impossible. The game runs fine otherwise. Any ideas?

>>7140614

Cheat.

Seriously, screw the battle system. You're here for the text and the lore. Get rid of the disturbances.
