Ladies and Gentlemen, as the OP of the previous thread which self-destructed a few moments ago, I would like to apologize for choosing a Totori~n as poster girl which suffered from a light case of wardrobe malfunction.

To make sure that all of us - even those who start trembling in fear if there's even the slightest hint of a female nipple - can enjoy the thread, and to prevent a mod randomly nuking the thread due to the NSFW op picture, I have decided to reboot it. Considering the thread only had 19 other posts, of which about 50% were random shitposts, I think this course of action is acceptable.

Again, my sincerest apologies for causing such a traumatizing event.


Jokes and sarcasm aside, I actually didn't notice the nipple slip until a lot later since I paid too much attention to the cute face. Otherwise I would have used a different picture. And for the record, I have included the picture in question in this post, though this time with a spoiler.

On a slightly off-topic note: It's kinda funny how easily you get spoiled by GUST games, or rather the fact that you usually get to switch to Japanese voice overs.

I got my copy of Rune Factory earlier, and spent a good 5 minutes trying to switch to JP language before I realized that it's not possible.

Luca is a whore and a slut.

Is Rune Factory 3 good? Also I'm about to beat Totori.

Does anyone have the pics that show close-ups/designs of Croix's lance? I thought I saved them somewhere but I evidently haven't, and they aren't on the *boorus or the AT wiki...

>>7987579
No worries man

>>7987752
Best in the series. Dunno about the new one.

Is the warp gate a one time use item? And I think for the second playthrough I'll buy the Cordelia and older sister Saten DLC.

Also I wish my voice sounded like the bartender guy's voice (I think it's Master Asia's VA).

>>7987823
ZUNBAR!
I read in another thread that your a Nihonjin. IS THAT TRUE?

my copy got lost in transit. They're still looking for it but I'm thinking about cancelling. should I?

>delete MMO thread
>leave this shit

>>7987846
Ah, so this is why you guys have been mad all this time. Oh wow.

>>7987846

>>7987823
Warp gate is infinite use. Hence the infinity symbol where the use counter would be.

>>7987842
That feel when Gamestop sends your copy of Totori to someone else.

>>7987825
Hi Anon! Nope I'm a gaijin.

>>7987823
I bought both character DLC packs. They're pretty nice, but I didn't really use them for most of the game. Mimi/Sterk was my main team.

>>7987866

>>7987860
Well, these threads ARE created by the meido's buttbuddies. There's no other threads, even on-topic ones, where protest against it is immediately deleted. What a queer, you know?

I have my tuition fee bucks with me, and I want to buy Atelier Totori later. Should I buy this game and suffer the consequences later?

>>7987887
Don't be a fag. Just pirate it.

>>7987892
B-But I want to support GUST so they can make more little girl games!

>>7987579
Thank you. I do not want to see such lewd images on /jp/ of nice girls. I appreciate it.

>>7987892
There is no 3.7 cfw yet is it?

>>7987892
You can't pirate the American version, it requires 3.6x firmware.

I want to take a Totori~n and a Rorona home with me.
Does that make me a bad person?

I want to be a Totori~n
I will never be a Totori~n ;_;

>>7987927

Chinese just shipped out orders for the E3 Flasher, you can downgrade from 3.7 to 3.55 and get CFW, but it's $100 and I believe it requires soldering. Hopefully a cheaper, simpler solution is released soon.

>>7987990
Sorry, I want my PSN instead of free games. Which I can afford, so why not.

>>7987761
I'd also like to see these

>>7987990
I still play AH3 with ZUNbar, Bangkok and Sion so no. Also spending on a mod which is almost the same price as the console is stupid.

>>7987990
I'm gonna wait until there is a FREE alternative

>>7988029
What's your PSN ID? I want to play AH3 with people who don't kick my ass.

>>7988595
You should be able to see it when you hover your mouse over my name.

Speaking of Arcana Heart 3, I wonder how AkSys feels about its sales. They must be terrible due to it being PSN-only, no 360 version despite it being multiplat everywhere else, and the PSN fiasco...

>>7988626
The PSN version was a fiasco?
I saw it on the top sellers on PSN when I bought it.

>>7988657
PSN went down for weeks just a day or two after AH3 came out.

>>7988662
I see, forgot about that.

>>7987613
Is this the Wii-version, or does the PS3-version also only have the english dub?

>>7988926
Both are dub only.

>>7988626
>>7988657
>>7988662
AH3 was in the top ten for summer sales on PSN and Aksys is very pleased by its performance.

Atelier Totori was once a happy place. A young girl, eagerly exploring the world of alchemy, would fulfill mundane requests for the townsfolk, participate in rousing cooking competitions, and bake pies for her little friends. But now it's some sort of fucking arms factory, churning out an endless supply of high yield magical explosives.

Noticing that I have all five Chims set to making various types of bombs was kind of depressing.

>>7989255
This is ominous. I just want to be the little girl and have a gentle life where people are friendly.

>>7989255

Totori building an army should have been an ending.

>>7989255
It's all for a good cause. Totorin must find her mother. She's out there... somewhere...

And I've only just noticed that Totori and Mimi's outfits in Meruru are very similar to the ones in here...

>>7989255
Sup Alfred Nobel.

>>7989389 forever500x500.jpg
There is no point waiting for a larger version. It would have to be redrawn entirely, which would fuck up the art style forever.

Okay so I'm getting a PS3 next week and I noticed that Ar Tonelico Qoga was $15AUD brand new here, only problem is 1 store that I know of has it in my state. Luckily it's close by and I have Dark Souls to pick up aswell.

Is it any decent? Do I need to have played the first 2 or so to really get into this one or should I be fine? I like RPG games though the reviews seem to be mostly pointing to negative though I don't really care about that.

Though for $15 I can't really go wrong, right?

From the old thread:

>Some drawfag needs to draw Shurelia wearing a dress, lifting up her skirt, and saying "Seriously, I'm like a Barbie doll down here" whilst Lyner is orz in the foreground.

>>7989732
If you're a fan of the Ar Tonelico series, then yes.

>>7989732
It is a good idea to play the first two but not entirely necessary if you learn some core things like how hymnos work and what a Reyvatail is.

I enjoyed the game a lot but I was a fanboy before I played AT3, the gameplay elements aren't exactly its strong point and it really isn't challenging. The parts I liked are the VN elements, some of the crafting, purging, and the our god is a glorious god level music that is miles a head of any game I have ever played.

Most reviewers are shit for brains and have the attention span of a goldfish, don't put weight into them.

>>7989732
Some of the reveals lose a lot of impact if you don't know the characters and stories of the first two games. At worst, buy it then go read some Lets Plays of the first two before playing Qoga. I suggest the ones over here:
http://lparchive.org/Ar-Tonelico/
http://lparchive.org/Ar-Tonelico-II/

>>7989732
They do a fairly good job of explaining the plot, but I would really, really try to go back and at least play AT2.

>>7989668
Some anon is currently in the process of doing just that, it seemed promising last time he posted.

>>7989746
May as well bring forward this request that I posted way back
>Sasha chasing Shurelia around everywhere trying to get Shurelia to let her fix her, with Shurelia tripping as she runs away crying

>>7989732
And apparently JB hifi has Hyperdimension Neptunia for $15 or something. I couldn't find it anywhere so got the Asian region version.

Atelier Totori is only about $60 at JB too.

>>7989762
You made that request? hmmm... I got strong memories of it... could had sworn I made it... oh well...

>>7989775
JB has Totori?! Mutha fu..... I'm still waiting on the Premium edition pre-order to arrive... But I'm not going to crack. I can wait for it this time. I'm not going to end up with two copies like I did with AT3.

>>7989782
Yeah I was there today and they had many copies. I'm waiting on the premium one to arrive as well. EB had a copy too.

I asked about RF Tides of Destiny. They said it's coming out this year but no definite release date.

>>7989786
On the 'positive' side, the DLCs are marginally cheaper from the US PSN store. They're $2.99 USD versus $4.00 AUD. So, about $7 cheaper all up. There's $21 USD worth of DLCs.

>>7989775
Hmm, Hyperdimension Neptunia for $15 at JB HiFi? I'll have a check there, I'm planning to hit up two shopping centres tomorrow both have a JB and an EB games (as much as I hate shopping at EB, they have the Ar Tonelico game at $15)

Though I'll be deff doing to JB to get Dark Souls from that 3-4-1 deal so I will keep and eye out.

>>7989792
If anything, grabbing a good copy of NepNep would resale for a decent price on eBay or stuff like that. Pretty good resale market from what I hear

>>7989798
That's if I can even find it there. I highly doubt Neptunia to be at JB, though they did stock DeathSmiles for 360 so I guess not all hope is lost.

>>7987927
>>7987928
>>7988034


For those who is poorfag still clinging onto their cfw, there is a dude working on the translation/english integration of Totori. he is working on Disgaea 4, don't expect much progress until he can focus onto it.

>http://www.ps3news.com/ps3-hacks-jailbreak/atelier-rorona-the-alchemist-of-arland-ps3-translatio
n-v0-1-out/

Disregard the title.

>>7989824
Fuck CFW, I might be poor, but I don't playing Dark Souls alone. PSN is just not worth losing.

>>7989827
I never had a PSN account, and I don't feel I lost much. Well, at the very least, not my personal details, credit card info and so on during the last PSN hack.

>>7989875
That was bullshit, also who the fuck doesn't buy prepaid cards?

>>7989885
Well, you do have a point there, but if I ever break down and do register a PSN account, I certainly won't use my real contact details.

>>7989962
I don't think anyone does, it's not like it's important or anything.

>>7989790
Sometimes I get odd prices with US PSN, but recently I got Castlevania HD from there and it costs 15 dollars there, 15€ in Europe(which is about 20-30% more). Also, since it's a 360 port, the US version is actually the internationial version, so it has all languages installed(I.E. it automatically switched to italian for me).

By the way, if anyone has problems adding fund to an US account, Best Buy sends prepaid cards codes via email, doesn't care where you live, charges exactly face value with nothing added and will accept a VISA issued anywhere in the world.

>>7989798
PAL(and that means AUS too) version of Neptunia isn't nearly as rare as US version of Neptunia. Heck, I can go to any decently stocked shop and find one easily.

>>7989994 By the way, if anyone has problems adding fund to an US account, Best Buy sends prepaid cards codes via email, doesn't care where you live, charges exactly face value with nothing added and will accept a VISA issued anywhere in the world.

I'll take note of this - thanks!

I just realized from this thread that Rune Factory got delivered this morning. Hot damn, I'm still trying to be decent at Dark Souls. I'll probably play it before I start Totorin, too.

why thread?
>>7987110

My copy of Totori came today. Threw all my shame out the window and hung my fabulous poster on my wall.

>>7989994
I need Canadian cards and can't find them anywhere!

Can someone make a summary on all the endings (+required events to reach that ending) in Rorona? By some accidents i bombed my save and i don't have spare time to play it again from scratch.... i can't start playing Totori without knowing what happening at the end of Rorona

>>7990238

Do you live somewhat close to a Walmart, Circut city, or even an EB games/gamestop?

>>7990495
Nope

Why is Noin so delicious?

>>7990500
You do live near a grocery store, right? You could check there for pre-paid credit cards. The ones near where I live have $25, $50, and $100 ones. You could use one of those to buy a psn card online, or you might be able to use them on psn.

is it true these games have yuri?

>>7990684
Depends if you're wearing your goggles or not.

>>7990500
Try Futureshop, Bestbuy, 7-11, SuperStore, Shoppers Drug Mart.

They're in the spinning card racks.

Finally i can move to Annie after playing for almost 60 hours of fucking nothing of this shit. Pic related.

>>7987761
Goddamnit, I literally had those pics three days ago but forgot to move them out of my 'Temporary Stuff' folder before I deleted it. Sorry bro.

Is it just me or is Croix's shoulder armor a non-euclidean clusterfuck? I'm really having trouble figuring out just what shape it actually is.

>>7992129
I don't see anything non-euclidean there. Typical Nagi armor design.

>>7992129
It's not that difficult. It's a tiny little half-jacket thing with a really high collar, a big ring-shaped section that somehow floats there as it doesn't seem to be connected to anything, and then a smaller ring-shaped section halfway down the arm connected directly to the sleeve.

>>7992129
I'm more interested in his shoes

>>>/cgl/5062477
Oh hey so you're trying to cosplay Croix? Good luck, I guess.
You're REALLY gonna need it.

>>7992149
Looks like they have covers to keep the laces out of the way so they don't get caught on anything during MAXIMUM PENETRATION.

That or snack compartments.

>>7992149
Goddamnit, we had to start wondering about this a month or so AFTER toukousphere closed.

Oh dear lord.. Totori is going to kill me with how adorable she is...

>>7992880
Oneechan Saten.

>>7992155
That seems pretty cool. I always thought cosplaying Croix would be quite an eye-catcher if done right.

Good luck to that anon; wish I had the talent to create costumes.

>>7992908
One of her design sketches had her with short hair. Personally, I'm glad they went with long hair.

Reaching Arland is just such a nostalgia fan service...

Good play to buy Ar Tonelico Qoga?

Like almost every single retailer in the UK has sold it. Except Amazon and there it's piss expensive. Anyone know where it's under 30 punds? Even abroad?

>>7992921
... I've actually got a 'spare' PAL copy of Qoga... only problem, I'm in AUS.

>>7987613
oh no.... no dual audio in RF:O? That's some horridly bad news.....

>>7992929

They probably couldn't afford it. Or because it couldn't fit on the Wii so they didn't have it on PS3 either.

>>7992933
sort of like how PS3 Dynasty Warriors 7 could have fit jp audio on the disk but they made it free dlc cause 360 couldn't fit it on the disk and bitched that it would make the PS3 version look "superior" marketing does some stupid things.

>>7992933
Oh what the fuck.

I was gonna go buy a copy later today (if I could find one).

Now I'm not so sure...

>>7992958
Grab the Undub Wii version, emulate. Problem solved... I guess

>>7987761
Might be in the settei book, if you can find it or a pdf of it somewhere

a bit of a downer on RFO having no dual audio, but regardless I ordered it and the Premium ed for Totori. going to be a good week for rpgs.

I just ordered Totori and I have no money for it, Credit Card. This means I'll have to skip meals probably...

Did I do the right thing? As a jobless neet?

>>7993658
>games over food

Well done, I will give you 9$ through paypal.
(if you want anyway)

>>7993667
Thanks but no thanks, I'll get through. I'll just make some imaginary food in Totori.

So is the gameplay actually good?

>>7993658
You did well, lad. Here's an advice to survive with what little money you may have: go to a bakery and stuff yourself with bread. It's an economic alternative to starving, and even if you don't have one cent you can get little cash doing whatever the fuck you will, even picking up bills and coins off the street.

You will never feel hunger, I can guarantee as much if you follow my advice.

>>7993703
It's only till the end of the Month I'll survive, I've been trough much worse but thats for the support guys!

Got Atelier Rorona earlier this summer and really enjoyed it. One day though I was stupid and apparently did not save during a 3-4 hour span of playing it. Game froze up on me, the only one that ever freezes on my PS3, and I lost those 3-4 hours of progress.

Haven't really had the desire to go back and redo everything yet. Sigh.

>>7993732
My PS3 crashed and broke. I lost all my saves.

I never touched Disgeae 3 again all them 83 hours of it. But hey I gladly played Demon's souls again. And Rorona too!

>>7993735
I'll go back to Rorona one of these days, but I just couldn't bring myself to replay those 4 hours over again. Then I got addicted to Rune Factory and Xenoblade, and haven't really had time to go back.

>>7993742
BTW how is Oceans? It's not yet out in Europe is it good? Does the PS3 version have dubs?

>>7993747
Haven't gotten it yet, still working my way through Frontier at the moment. But both the Wii and PS3 are english dub only it seems, from what I've heard. I wouldn't hold much hope for a Wii undub either, seeing what happened with Frontier's undub.

>>7993747
I mean it's it english dubs only or is there Japanese ones too?

>>7993752
FUCK FUCK ;_;

Guess I'll just buy it when it's in the bargin bin. I haaate english dubs...

Then again maybe not... AT 3 was 30 pounds all the time and now 90% of the UK retailers don't have it, it's expensive on ebay... fuck I really should have gotten it when it was on that one website for 27 pounds... Damn it ----

>>7993757
English only.

Finally pre-ordered Totori, aloing Rune Factory 3. It's still a few days until they are oficially released here. At least I will have some time to finish AT3 until then.

>>7993764

Yup, which is extremely annoying considering we're missing out on awesome CVs like Miyuki Sawashiro.

But hey, at least we get to listen to our beloved, generic "voice actors" that we learned to hate in all those other dubs.

Getting the Totori true end was a pain in the buttocks. Goddamn.

Can't wait to do it again in Merurururururu

My PS3 seems to hate Totori. Got 10 or so hours out of it, now it crashes every hour or so and I have to turn the PS3 off for a bit and sometimes it won't even load. Fucking irritating as there's nothing wrong with the disc and apparently nothing wrong with the PS3. It's an old/fat PS3 so I dunno...Just not sure why it'd let me have 10 hours and then continuously decide to break like a bitch.

>>7993916
Its a sony of america 'rule' supposedly that games need to have English dubbing or they will be rejected unless they are on PSN or the company has sufficient power to contest it. They figure that if they are going to have to pay for English dubbing why should they pay the Japanese royalties too? Harvest Moon has a large enough English fanbase that people will buy it anyway, while in something like the games NIS publishes it will get nerdraged on into the next century.
On some psp games they just remove all of the plot dubbing and claim that the story isn't important enough to warrant it, and just dub in some battle sounds or leave them as is so it could be worse.

>>7994206
Totori does that for me too on a fat ps3. The only thing I found that helped was trying to avoid menus as much as I could.

>>7994206
Could be a bad savegame or something...

Rorona's chest is a miracle of the universe

>>getting the ero ending with Melvi

That feel when death by snoo snoo.

>>7994244
>Its a sony of america 'rule' supposedly that games need to have English dubbing or they will be rejected unless they are on PSN or the company has sufficient power to contest it.

I call bullshit. Yakuza 3 and 4 are both in Japanese without English voices.
The fact of the matter is that an English dub simply makes a game more accessible to a wider audience.

>>7994634
Yakuza 3 and 4 are exceptions, I believe. Nobody has actually confirmed it, but many take it as a fact that Sony forces english dubs on publishers. Hence why the likes of Arcana Heart 3 and Record of Agarest War are PSN-only.

While the dubs do indeed make these games more accesible to the normalfags, from a publisher's standpoint sometimes the risk isn't worth the reward, I'd imagine. English dubs simply make localizing things much more expensive, a cost many publishers would want to avoid when the game's aimed towards a niche audience first and foremost.

>>7987761
Found it! Good luck with that costume!

aw welp
i take no one here want to make summaries of Rorona for me...i'll just wait till Meruru and storm my way from Rorona again

>>7993732
>Got Atelier Rorona earlier this summer and really enjoyed it. One day though I was stupid and apparently did not save during a 3-4 hour span of playing it. Game froze up on me, the only one that ever freezes on my PS3, and I lost those 3-4 hours of progress.

Yeah, that's a big problem with this game, if not Gust games in general. I think the game freezes (infinite loading) after a certain number of screen changes, so if you feel like it's going to freeze soon or if you've been playing for hours, SAVE.

>>7994568
Sorry, that title is already taken by Mel

>>7995016
Rorona's are bigger.

At what point in Totori do you get to use Rorona?

These games bring joy to my life.

>>7994634
Yakuza is also the only one I can recall in recent memory that pulled that off. Not to mention that Sega is a pretty big player and the fanbase is large. They probably approached them with the argument that the Japanese voices add so much character to the setting and it would either be Japanese voices or nothing.

>>7995187
Agarest Zero is a physical release with no English dub.

Rorona doesn't have English dub either?

>>7995231
Of course, but I'd imagine that was because Aksys could bypass Sony's rules by having some backing of sorts, perhaps Agarest's sales or the fanbase behind it that asked for a physical release.

>>7995249
It did.

in the topic of little girl jrpgs has anyone on /jp/ played rhapsody: a musical adventure?
It's least 8/10 on the moe scale

>>7995253
My copy of Rorona is Jap voices. Not sure if English is even an option.

>>7995231
They are probably easing up then.
The last time I heard a localization company complaining about it was for some psp game where they chose to remove all voice overs instead of having an english dub.

>>7995261

I saw a clip and it looked extremely cheesy. But I think it could be cheesy in a good way. I'd rather wait until NISA or Atlus put it up on PSN and sell it for $5-10, though. I don't want to play the DS version after I heard how it got shat on.

to get the normal end, do you need to be max rank? I have no idea how I'm going to make that 1,500 point jump to the final rank.

>>7995343
No, just Cobalt.

>>7994893
Well, it's a little difficult to make a summery as the differing character events aren't exactly dependant on each other chronologically. I'll do my best in explaining Rorona's relationship with the various characters but as I've only gotten the Astrid end, I can't say much about the individual character ends.

Cordelia:
Cordelia has been attempting to help Rorona behind the scenes by placing requests specifically for her, asking for simple items but rewarding a large amount of Cole for them. Her intention was to try to give Rorona enough money to pay back what is owed to Astrid so that she wasn't obliged to work to save the Atelier (and avoid getting evicted/exiled as a result). To help fund the increasing amounts of Cole rewarded, Cordelia was pawning off her clothes and accessories to Tiffani's store. Meanwhile during an alchemy accident, Rorona manages to create a beautiful stone, which she gives to Cordelia as a present. Rorona eventually gets confirmation that Cordelia was behind the requests when Esty spills the beans and confronts Cordelia. Rorona doesn't understand why Cordelia is trying to do this as she's appreciating Alchemy for what it is and helping the townspeople, while Cordelia feels that her efforts to help are not being appreciated and they have a falling out. During the argument, the stone that Rorona gave to Cordelia broke in half. Over the next few weeks, Cordelia asks Astrid if there's any way to repair the stone but as it's a one of a kind and created completely by accident, there's no way to repair or duplicate it. Astrid gives Cordelia the idea to fashion the stone halves into something else while commenting that the stone reminds her of the friendship of two girls that she knows. Cordelia commissions Hagel to create a pair of matching necklaces, giving one of them to Rorona to make up. Best of friends

Wow, that's pretty big. Might need to post one character per post...

>>7994893
Next! Iksel:
Rather bland this one. Iksel was from the beginning kinda jealous that Rorona was in charge of her own Atelier as his ambition was to become a good enough cook to have his own store. During the course of his events, he finds it outrageous that Rorona is able to make such nice dishes using Alchemy, and challenges her to a cooking duel. He loses, which he then uses as motivation to keep on improving. In any case, due to all the interesting ingredients Rorona is able to find while looking for alchemy components, Iksel's cafe gets busier and busier with more customers. He pulls in Rorona to help out with waitressing during some of the busier periods when she pops in to buy/sell some stuff.

That's pretty much it for Iksel's character events. Rather boring really. I think his specific ending isn't all that much more as well since it's more to do about Hagel...

Every day I get disappointed when I realise there will never be any good AT yuri, especially Infel x Nenesha

>>7996789
Maybe i'm the only one here who like a normal man-women relationship.
This is why i'm not sure when i'll play totori and rorona ;_;

>>7994893
Sterk:
Sterk's motivation to join the knighthood were the stories about knights in shining armour and the like. Only after signing up he finds that most of the stuff he's doing is patrolling, paperwork, prepping town events or trying to make sure the King of Arland is doing what he's supposed to be doing. Needless to say, he's more than a little disillusioned with his job.
Sterk also appears to have some history with Astrid, perhaps helping her when she was learning Alchemy much like how Rorona's friends are helping her. It's also implied that Sterk had a crush on Astrid when Astrid uses a very old letter as blackmail material if Rorona fails the first assignment.
If you had Sterk in Rorona's party a large number of times, you will get an event where Sterk is leaving the castle to join Rorona on another trip, but he's stopped by every named NPC in the town giving him thanks for helping Rorona. The dialogue gives the impression that Sterk is liking the fact that he is being thanked for doing his job.
During the latter half of the game period, Sterk gives Rorona a warning to stay away from the Steyr Highlands as there is a very old and dangerous dragon taking roost there. Astrid remembers this particular dragon and tempts Rorona by telling her that there are rare and valuable materials from the dragon.
If you beat the dragon with Sterk in the party, Rorona will run off to see what ingredients she can get, but the Dragon isn't quite done yet. As it prepares to attack Rorona, Sterk jumps in and shields Rorona, being critically injured in the process.

Back in Arland (and after Astrid helps nurse him back from death's door), Rorona blames herself for what's happened with Esty reassuring her it's ok. Sterk comments to himself about a knight protecting a little girl, using his own body as a shield.

Perhaps with Rorona, he can actually live out his dreams of being a knight.

>>7996804
I like hetero as much as the next guy, but you can already find plenty of pics of that for most of the AT girls

>>7994893
Lionela... urg... do I have to?
Lionela's ability is being able to levitate objects. She pretends she's a puppeteer and a ventriloquist to get by, but she normally has to move from town to town when the townspeople start to get suspicious of her performances. Rorona is pretty much the first person who is trying to be friends with her.

Suddenly one day, her two dolls stop moving/talking and she goes to Rorona's Atelier to get help. Astrid gives Rorona a formula for some medicine to make.

This medicine turns out to be a sort of tranquiliser, preventing her from moving, but she is still fully conscious.

It turns out that both of her dolls are split personalities of Lionela. They were created to help relieve her loneliness from not having any friends. They had decided on their own that she'll be ok without them as Rorona is there, and tried to supress themselves. Lionela is proving the voices for them using her skills as a ventriloquist, and they were being animated via her ability to levitate/telekinetically manipulate objects. Lionela herself wasn't aware of this and it's only because of the tranquiliser that she realises this is happening.

Astrid makes her sub-personalities promise to consult with Lionela main about phasing themselves out rather than abandoning her.

>>7994893
Tantoris
If it wasn't obvious enough, Tantoris is Minister Alcock's estranged son, recalled and hired to sabotage Rorona's efforts when he couldn't get the job done himself.

Tantoris couldn't do it either as Rorona somehow bypasses all of his efforts to sabotage. He comes clean and confesses to Rorona that he's been trying to sabotage her Atelier and prepares himself to being exiled from her social circle. However, Rorona being Rorona, misinterprets all that has happened, focusing on Tantaris' flirting with her as trying to distract her by saying all of those embarrassing things, but forgives him on that count, not connecting the dots on the actual acts of sabotage like jacking up the price of ingredients.

Later, Rorona stumbles across a very drunk Minister Alcock outside of Iksel's cafe and he drunkenly babbles on about his problems with trying to shutdown a store, and complaining about his son. Rorona does what she does, trying to help and suggest just speaking with his son about his worries. Tantoris happens by and takes him away.

Tantoris later makes a bet with his father, asking him to let the Atelier stay open as it'll be a bigger benefit to the town than another factory, and in exchange he will agree to be his successor, which is what Alcock was concerned about, not having a successor to his post.

Tantoris stops by Rorona's Atelier, asking her to make a new instrument as his current one is getting rather old and saying that he's leaving the town for a bit. On completing the instrument, they play a duet with Tantoris improvising to cover for Rorona's random playing.

>>7994893
Gio
Gio is actually the King of Arland. He regularly slips out of the castle, abandoning his tasks as King much to Sterk's great displeasure.
An event will occur if you have both Sterk and Gio in the party. They will meet at the town gates and start to argue with Sterk accusing Gio of finding any excuse to not do his duties while Gio protests as he was asked by Rorona to help. They drop the argument when Rorona arrives (late) and she misinterprets their anger for each other with being angry at her for being late and apologies profusely as they storm off.
A second event will occur if you shove both Sterk and Gio in the same party again. They both acknowledge that they're working together... again and that Gio is not in the castle doing his administrative tasks again and agree on the fact that there's something about Rorona that compels people to help her but they're still angry at each other. Rorona arrives late... again and apologies to them thinking they're still angry at her for being late.

Gio's actual personal event is a little bit later in the 3rd year. Gio suspects that someone in Arland is providing bandits with machined weapons and explosives, and requests Rorona's assistance with her knowledge of explosives in a raid on a bandit camp. Agreeing to help will reveal that the bandits are being provided the weapons and explosives by Meredith Alcock as a sort of unofficial weapons testing as building proper facilities in Arland would be too expensive. After the successful raid, Gio confronts Meredith, telling him not to do something like that again. Meredith complains to Gio that he's doing all the work, but Gio tells him that he's able to leave the castle, knowing that people like him are holding down the fort. Gio muses that perhaps Arland doesn't need a king.

Not agreeing to help will result in Gio being injured and unavailable for the rest of the game.

>>7994893
Astrid
Astrid is an exceptionally skilled alchemist. Being able to construct a fully sentient homunculus that is able to exhibit human emotions is unheard of, and she would be the 2nd recorded instance of having successfully create a homunculus in the first place.

Astrid's unnamed teacher was somewhat similar to Rorona. A fairly simple person, always happy, always willing to help, but her skills with alchemy were not all that good. She wasn't able to help all that much and as a result, she didn't have a good reputation with the townspeople. When she passed away, Astrid was pretty much the only person who attended her funeral. Because of this feeling of betrayal, Astrid simply refused to do anything, not fulfilling any requests and leading to the point where the Atelier was going to be shut down for not being of any good to the town.

Watching Rorona work to save the Atelier rekindled Astrid's desire to use Alchemy to help others, however she couldn't just start to help because of the bad reputation she had. With that, she decides to leave Arland and travel around, helping towns she travelled to using alchemy.

Astrid Ending:
Meredith agrees not to close down the Atelier. Tantaris is helping with the paperwork, putting forward a report requesting that funding for the Atelier be increased. Meredith agrees to consider it after checking it's not due to a conflict of interest.

Astrid leaves the town as planned, and Rorona is completely swamped with requests and has her friends help her. Hom comments that it's this hectic because Rorona doesn't know how to say 'No' to requests.

Some years later, the work suddenly dried up. Cordelia tells Rorona that it's because a new alchemy workshop has opened in Arland. That workshop is Astrid's and she greets Rorona and warns her that they're rivals now. Rorona is just happy to see her teacher again.

PHEW

>>7996804
There's plenty of hetero endings in Rorona, anon.

>>7995261
Yeah, I played all three of the Marl Kingdom games ( at least the ones with story, not the 2 minigames ).
They're actually pretty nice, have good humor, be it that they ARE a bit cheesy.
Too bad NISA will never localize the other two, ever.

Is there any chance of Totori ever being released for PC or 360?.... ;_;

>>7997169
Maybe in a decade when you can emulate PS3 games.

I can't understand for the life of me the appeal of this game on /jp/. Why are there so many threads for it?

>>7997177
Little girls in frilly and/or revealing clothes taking it easy helping people and/or saving the world, with a helping of hopelessly dense and/or absolutely fabulous male characters.

It's everything /jp/ likes in one convenient package.

>>7997177

GUST release a new game on a semi-regular basis so it's a nice place to keep discussion in one thread. If you can't see the appeal for it then unfortunately that's your own problem as many people enjoy the games.

>>7997169

The chances are pretty much non-existent. Their engine, which is pretty refined after 4 games, was designed solely for the Playstation in mind. In order to port it over to PC/Xbox they'd probably need to do a major overhaul to the engine. The 360 market in Japan is pitiful too so it really wouldn't be worth their resources to do such a port. A PS3 is pretty worth it these days anyway.

>>7997191
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with Skyrim

>>7997191
Actually, I've heard that the engine they use is actually easy to port towards other multicore-based platforms.

Nonetheless, the chances are still very slim, unless something drastic happens.

>>7997190
>>7997191
It's just a shittier version of Rune Factory 3.

>>7997215
But... They're nothing alike.

>>7997215
Oh wow what?

>>7995261
Just finishing up Rhapsody (I think) on the DS and it's a pretty damn fun game. I got it complete for like $7 at my local used game superstore so YMMV on it.

Might pick up a copy of the PS1 version just for the soundtrack though.

>>7997169
Unlikely, the 360 install base in Japan is pretty shitty (last I checked PS3 outsells it 3 to 1) so if you're a Japanese developer you pretty much only develop for the 360 if you think non-weeaboo foreigners would be interested in your games.

>>7996900
>>7996881
>>7996857
>>7996835
>>7996814

>>7996765
Wait, what?
Thanks a bunch!! Now i can play my Totorin without a lingering feeling

bump

Totori is feeling more overwhelming than Rorona to me. It seems like I'm missing a bunch of events because of how much time is spent traveling.

To the person who posted those Rorona character summaries, good job.

Can Totori's English release be run on 3.55 at all? I really don't want to upgrade and find myself locked out of using any CFW without doing some kind of complicated hardware downgrade procedure.

>>7999247
Nope.

>>7997446
What about the 360 only VN releases?

>>7999250
Ah, lame... Ah well, apparently that one guy is fairly close to releasing a new exploit that should allow us to run recent games again, at least if I interpreted the (google translated from Spanish) news post about it correctly.

>>7997695
>>7999197
Thanks for the appreciation... there's a few things I forgot to mention mainly because I had to trim and cull to keep some of those entries under the post limit. Some specifics may also be incorrect because I'm going off my memory on them. Anyhow in relations to Totori, the most important background information on characters from Rorona would most likely be Sterk, Gio and Astrid. Sterk's character events in Rorona set up his behaviour and viewpoints in Totori. Gio's background is world setting as it leads directly into why Arland has become a republic. He's also the reason why Sterk is usually in a perpetual bad mood. Astrid's ending can be considered as the 'true ending' so knowing why she's how she is somewhat helpful in understanding a part of Rorona.

Anyhow, I forgot Tiffani, who does have a a re-occuring behaviour with Totori:
Tiffani is a horrible drunk. Not only does she behave wildly when drunk, the worse bit is that she won't remember any of it so she doesn't know how bad it gets when she's drunk. Everyone else in the cafe knows, however and Rorona soon finds out when she's sacrificed by Esty to keep Tiffani occupied... No one else wants to intervene for fear of getting drawn into the mess.

Why is Totori~n so frail yet so stubborn?
Is this a new type of moe?

DELETE THIS FUCKING SHITE MEIDO

>>7999903
Reported.

>>7999909

Haha, guess his wish came true.

What's the deal with dragon scales? I spent forever stuck on Tanbeash until I started exploring the islands and got the what's-it to make Velvetis. I've explored everything up to the outer islands and just ranked up to Galaxy and no god damn dragon scales. Am I supposed to farm that one fucking dragon for scales or what? Nuts to that.

Now I'm getting close to the festival and I think Peter's gonna pissed. He asks for eight beautiful young girls and I'm bringing along a ghost, three cakes, and three flat lesbian midgets. Let the hilarity ensure.

>>7997256
DEM BUGS MAN, IT'S LIKE THEY NEVER PLAYTESTED IT.
Emulate if only to be able to switch between the US and EU version to avoid some of the bugs.

There is no battle voice in MK: Student Alliance?
What kind of blasphemy is this!?

Is there a way to insert the voice from ps2 version?

>>8001354
Did you enable the Jump Start Data in the options?

>>7997169
you... don't own a ps3, 360, and a PC?

>>7997190
there were no "fabulous" male characters in totori. They had the naruto-esque shota and the brooding oh-so-mysterious guy, which are arguably much worse.

>>7999886
That's part of her character. Frail, but stubborn enough to get past things.
>>8000164
Get one dragon scale and have the Chims reproduce it. Once a Chim is working on gathering something, you can then use it, just make sure you keep the Chim working until it's gathered at least one of the item in question or else you'll have to go regather it.

>>8001604
Nope. Why?
I play on cfw 6.35 pro b8

>>8001765
You need that enabled to have voices in battle.
In order to save Jump Start data, go to the options from the title screen.

Meruru EX moves.
Esty made my jaw drop, how the hell did you end up so powerful when you were out hunting for men of marriageable age?

>>7997446

>Unlikely, the 360 install base in Japan is pretty shitty (last I checked PS3 outsells it 3 to 1) so if you're a Japanese developer you pretty much only develop for the 360 if you think non-weeaboo foreigners would be interested in your games.

Many smaller developers create an xbox 360 version first, and if it is a hit they port it to the 360. The 360 is far, far cheaper to develop for. If you are building a doujin game or have a questionable fan base, you go 360. Truth be told even Konami and Square Enix have done this on some game.

There is far less financial risk, and once you prove there is a market for your product on xbox, you can justify the higher development costs for making a PS3 port.

>>8001986
I thought it was the same function as data install
Now to delete some iso...

>>8002090
...nice

>>8002090
The more men Esty sleeps with, the greater her power increases.

I'm playing Ar Tonelico Qoga at the moment, and I was wonder should I get the bad end first, or get the good end first?

>>8003477
BAD END just to get it out of the way. You can restart from multiple points in the story after getting it so you wont lose much progress.

>>8003485
>>8003477

Uh, why even go for a bad end?

>>8003497

Completionist, or if you enjoy seeing terrible things happen to the main cast.

goddamnit, I've been corrupted. I was fairly certain I would be a massive Cloche fanboy (dose tits, dat tsuntsun) when I started AT2 and figured Jacqli would just be boring old 'dark and edgy', but Jacqli has utterly defeated me and made me hers...

Opinion of Luca hasn't changed from "don't care" though

>>8004071
As jackli is the only girl who doesn't have an entire phase dedicated to emo garbage "YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND MY PAIN", she is objectively the best AT2 girl, followed by or tied with either cocona or the weaponsmith, depending on the individual's taste.

I'm about year 5 in my Totori playthrough still at Cobalt. When do I meet Filly? I can't finish the fishing festival since I'm short one lady, and is there a good place for dragon scales? My adv level is 34-36 with Sterk and Rorona. Can't make any stronger armor for Totori or Rorona with the cloth options I have.

>>8004231
>short one lady
dohoho. That's what you think. You seriously can't guess who else would be in it?

Can't help with the other stuff though. But what do you mean by meeting with Filly?

>>8004314
I read another post wrong, thought that Filly's sister was one of the girls I had to talk to. Guess I talked to everyone, just have to sit in town making stuff till the day rolls around.

>>8004231
The dragon in the dragon cave drops scales/tusks, albeit rarely. I think the black dragon in Night's Domain is a guaranteed drop, but iirc you need max rank for it to show up.

I think it's easier to just get the Velvetis material from the inner/primordial islands.

Mimi has the best assets.

>>8004231
Get one dragon scale from the dragon in the dragon cave, then have Chim copy it a few times.

When chins systhesizes items for you, does he reprodpuce them out of thin air, or do they consume your materials, stopping once they run out?

>>8005536
Feel free to use up the item after giving the orders.

>>8004853
She has the best everything.

Im new to the altier franchise and while Totori is an enjoyable game i often find myself lost at what to do next.
Im at the part the where i got my license got extended for 2 years. am i supposed to get started on the ship or grind licence achievements for another 2 years to get that bitch off my back? or does she simply throw me another time limit when i do that?

>>8005861
You could have built your ship way before that. Anyway, you're supposed to find Totori's mom who sailed off, or you'll get the bad end.

>>8006309
Who the hell is that guy?

>>8006345
Kishida Mel

Is the 5pb or Red DLC worth getting in Neptunia?

Oh wow. Climbed that fuckhuge tower, beat the Rage Beast, touched a gather point, and my game went to an endless blank loading screen.

I love your games, Gust, but god damn do they glitch a lot.

>>8007125
Red has some pretty good group hitting attacks before you get Neptune's and a lot of passive healing. She's pretty good.

Bought 5pb but never used her so I can't comment there.

>>8007159
both characters are average, both have fun events.

Finally picked up my totorin~ I hope I'm not too late!

So what's this I've heard about an Ar Tonelico OVA? Is that in the lazy people pack too?

>>8007603
I heard its shit

>>8007603
It's just the first AT game animated.

>>8007603
Only watch it if you like Aurica.

>>8007613
>>8007615

Redundant information.

>>8007603
Doesn't it directly contradict some stuff that happens in the games?

>>8007814
Yes, but it's done more in a way to make the whole thing fit in a mostly coherent way into a 30 min. OVA without raising too many plot holes.

Fuck, I'd wished I'd asked this before toukousphere ended, but is Harvestasha the SH Server for Tyria's tower? Or do Sol Cluster reyvateils simply have the *_FEHU_TILIA_HARVESTASYA hymn code because the tower is called the Tower of Harvestasha and the SH server itself is unnamed, unlike Ar Tonelico and Sol Marta?

>>8007973
Also, if Infel Pira fulfils the same purpose as Ar Tonelico does but for IPD reyvateils, where are it's grathnode and parameno discs?

>>8007992
The Ar tonelico is more than just a SH server for the reyvateils. It's also a climate control facility, symphonic power generator/distributor and a weapon among other things. The grathnode and parameno discs were used to help process song magic. Two of the discs were reserved for military use, one for government use and the last disc was allocated for civilian use. The discs themselves are not necessary for the functioning of the tower (as evident when reyvateils are still able to do their thing after the Grathnode Inferia)

The Infel Pira was simply a substitute SH server, which created the IPD reyvateils since the Grathnode Inferia cut off communications between the different regions of the world.

I really wished I finished Rorona. Too much bullshit at the end plus totori was about to be released.

what is teh game about?

>>8008109
Ar Tonelico's grathnode discs may be shattered, but they're still about 30% usable. My guess is Infel Pira, like Sol Marta, simply routes songs through Ar Tonelico's grathnode and parameno discs, but does the processing of the songs itself. Kind of like putting data through the GPU on a computer instead of the CPU to process it.

Also Infel Pira was built about 300 years after the Grathnode Inferia, and IPDs are just reyvateils who use it as their SH server. Nothing to do with communication being cut off by the Grathnode Inferia.

So I just reached Galaxy rank on my first playthrough on Totorin. Should I try challenging the Galaxy rank bosses or should I come back for them in NG+?

>>8009794
Disregard that I suck cocks. Made hp and mp recovery Elixir, Dimension Egg, and had Totorin duplicate them every turn. Everyone now has Shadow Band. Also, Totorin is game breaking.

>>8009375
Look it up as it can be quite complicated

Orica's purger > Misha's purger

>>8010746
This is worse than the Luca copypasta
Look at how dumb you are

Does anyone have that moe moe picture with chibi Cloche, Luca, and Mir? I never bothered to save it.

>>8010746
100% agreed

>>8010774
this one?

>>8010975
Not that one, there are doing multiple posses on a white backround.

>>8011034
the one from the artbook?

>>8011052
Yes, that one. So cute... Ar Tonelico really has some great heroines and Gust really knows how to design characters, now to edit all of the men out of that pic.

>>8010746
I liked Aurica's songs the best.

>>8011065
Nagi did the designs for the Ar Tonelico series, while Mel Kishida did the designs for the Alchemist of Arland series. Both do god tier work, but neither are actual Gust employees.

>>8012407
Yeap. The character designers are normally contacted and commissioned.

Gust has a stupidly small list of permanent staff... I'd seriously love to know the exact breakdown on the staff numbers and what they're in charge of. Kishida Mel also did a guest art piece for Mana Khemia 2 but he was short-listed for the Arland series because his artwork was regarded by both male and female fans. Oh just a FYI: Atelier Rorona was originally planned to have a male protagonist, but was changed at the request of the writer partially to go back to the roots and also because it wouldn't seem right to have a guy stirring a pot with a stick. You are now imagining a gender-swapped Rorona.

Is Arcana Heart 3 PSN only in the US? I saw physical copies around here in Europe. It's not really that unusual I guess, considered that Agarest had a physical release too.

Rorona seems to have gotten dumber over the years, poor girl. Must be all the pies.

>>8012792

I'm sure that if it was Mel Kishida doing the artwork, a game with a male Rorona would make me doubt my own sexual orientation.

Sterk occasionally does that to me, too, though it would be worse if he had Daisuke Ono's voice.

>>8012925
EU has physical copies of Arcana Heart 3 for PS3 and 360.

Mimi was voiced by Index? I dont even

Wait. I can;t find the New Game+ option in AT2.

AT2 does have a New Game+, right?

RIGHT?!

>>8013241
It doesn't.

>>8013249
...

At times like this I wish I had a Croix rageface. Why didn't I make a second save right before the final boss?

You would have if you had followed the GameFAQs guide like a number of us did.

>>8013436
>guide
I got to where I did with Hard Work And Guts.

By the way, is it even possible to get your reyvateils up to level 99? Do you get dualithnode crystals from the extra boss refights?

>>8012792
No thanks, I prefer being the girl

>>7987571
I'm playing Atelier Rorona (Im at year 2 month 4 if I recall correctly); will buy a PS3 game next month, this is a silly question to ask in /jp/ , but should my money go for Dark Souls (Atlus) or NISA (Atelier Totori)?

Already beat Disgea 4 and got Axel and Flonne.

>>8013579
Having bought both, I can say that a comparison or fight between the two is just not possible.

That said, however, as disappointingly small as Totori's CE is, it at least doesn't have artbooks falling apart and digital shit like Dark Souls' CE.

>>8013579
>Already beat Disgea 4 and got Axel and Flonne.
All Disgaeas truly begin when you beat the main story, you got a LOT left to do.

>>8013579
Dark Souls is Bamco just fyi, Atlus only published Demon Souls. Depends on what you are looking for I guess, Cute girls running an underground bomb factory or grimdark action rpg.

So I got Rorona end in Totorin, even though I was aiming for Mimi end. Rorona was such a poor thing, the years hasn't been kind to her.

>>8013980
they've been kind to her healthy body

>>8013985
Though her luck, intelligence and dignity took a big hit. I can't imagine Astrid's face when she hears about Rorona and Totorin.

Anyone got the Nuclear Triangular Loop vector? The one in the OP doesn't work for me

>>8013980
I just got Rorona's end on my first go and was kind of surprised. I wasn't going for any character specifically, but I think I triggered most of the characters flags and they all had a CG or a big event to go with them. All I remember Rorona doing was fretting about Totori liking adventuring more than alchemy and getting jealous about using Sterk a lot. I guess she just has high priority. Not that I mind. Rorolina suffering is adorable.

In a previous AT/Gust thread someone posted a few pages of an AT comic where Jacqli gets into a bath with Croix and holds a knife to this throat and says "Fuck me"

Anyone have the source of that?

>>8014133
It's working for me, but here you go nonetheless.

Ta muchly!

>>8014324
You guys are probably going to ridicule me for this, and I probably deserve it, but I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of the Nuclear Triangular loop with some Hymmnos text under/around it. I was thinking of the classic
"Was yea ra chs hymmnos mea"
but can you guys think of anything that would work better?

>>8014585
>Was yea ra chs hymmnos mea
That's kinda gay, if you think about it. Not that anyone will get it.
Also, obligatory tattoos are fucking stupid.

>>8014585

Never get a tattoo.

>>8014585
Not that you should get a tattoo, but if you really must insist on having one, the install port ones are more intricate/better looking IMHO. Of course, it would be rather weird to have one but oh well.

>>8015484
Not to mention vulgar

Why is Mimi so sexual?

Where did the Totori~n nickname come from? Is her seiyuu the same as Akari~n or something?

>>8015751
puffy vulva, ass, thighs

>>8015767
how did you draw that conclusion.

I WANT TO HAVE MELVIA'S BABIES

>>8015767

any japanese name ending in -i will have a nickname -in instead of -chan.

>>8014246
I have no idea how I got Rorona's end, I didn't even use her in my team.

>>8015325
>>8015337
You will never be man enough to get a tatoo. ;_;

>>8016086

I haven't played Totori yet, but I suspect that she has the highest FP of all the characters and you got her flag. If you triggered every flag and every has the same FP, then it's probably because she has higher priority, similar to the previous game where certain characters/special endings have high/low priority.

>>8016160
Having a tatoo is for douchebags and criminal scum.
True men dont need to get their skin dirty to be manly.

Here, i said it. Happy now?

>>8016316
I wasted more than 30 hours with 3 full playthroughs because i had no idea of that. Feels bad man.

don't take this the wrong way, but I just don't see how you can consider this a good game

>>7992908
I looked up Ceci's VA because I really don't think she was Saten when I heard her speaking.

The truth is she's oneechan Chihaya.

>>8016430
Demeanour + hair ornament = Saten. Not necessarily because of the VA.

Different floats for different boats. Just because I dislike 3D fighting games doesn't mean that they're bad.

>>8016350
It's fun to play, challenging enough and with a relaxed atmosphere. Also pretty cute.

>>8016455
Ohana = Saten, okay. Ceci? Not sure.

I'm indifferent towards Cordelia but I like Mimi. I wonder why.

>>8016476
The awkward growing friendship? The fact that she is so completely and utterly disarmed and bewildered by Totori's behaviour and attitude?

Totori and Mimi just have a good interaction with each other. Cordelia and Rorona was somewhat one-sided.

Nobody will get whatever is written anyway because it would be in hymmnos

>>8016706
I know how to read hymmnos.

Come on, I knew what that said and I can't read Hymmnos at all. That said, I was thinking the same thing.

I've been having trouble figuring how the 'cost level' for adding in traits works. I am trying to create healing items with Living on them but for some reason and cost level always comes up short. Say I synth a Supplement with Living in it and make a Healing Salve, then tried slapping in items to increase the cost level, but I just cannot reach 5 points. I also tried doing this with that another healing item and I just can't make it. Am I doing something wrong?

>>8019990
You need to make items of higher quality to obtain more points for traits. For 5 points, you'd need a rank B item; something with 60 quality or more.

Differing component items also have an effect on the points for traits. I recall having 6+ points on a Rank B Healing Salve (the first one you make) because I substituted the medicinal herb for something else I had. Also, while making Ingots I ended up with one batch that had 12+ trait points and it was a Rank C upgraded to Rank B once I tacked on the traits.

Just experiment with differing qualities and items.

So... I want to play the new AT on PS3, but I heard its pedo meter is off the charts.

Is the entire game like that? I don't want to feel uncomfortable playing a game.

>>8020413
Which one? Totori or Meruru? Or are you talking about Ar tonelico?

>>8020421

AT 3... the one with the infamous purge scenes

Get out of /jp/. And before someone asks, I'm quoting this normalfag. In any case, its not a very good game. Wannabe star ocean combat sucks.

>>8020435

Okay? Since when was /jp/ a lolicon board?

>>8020427

DFC != Pedo.

>>8020441

Since always. I think you need to get the fuck out.

>>8020445

Touhou canon is not hentai/lolicon, and most Touhou doujin are not lolicon.

You're just trying too hard to look like a hardcore /jp/ otaku. You're the one who should get out.

>>8020445

1/10

A very small percentage of people actually talk about lolicon on this board.

>>8020445

Right? You're so good at trolling.

Ready for a new thread.
