The most interesting part of that article were the numbers at the end. Apprently, GUST is raking in quite the money with their stuff.

God dammit onii-chan, why couldn't you leave my ironic post alone?

luca is a slut

Why was the Skullgirls /vg/ thread deleted? It has as much right to be here as this does.

>>8853735
Ned Shirly Janison doesn't like Skullgirls.

Wrong board, [Video Game] General threads go in the Video Game Generals board:
>>>/vg/

Just because it's Japanese or a role-playing game doesn't mean it belongs here. After all: Mario, Sonic and Final Fantasy are all Japanese!

Click the little check box next to your subject, scroll down and hit the "Delete" button in the bottom-right of the page. Best of luck in your future 4chan endeavors, and don't forget to read the rules and FAQ!

If AT3 had had costumes it would have been thrice as good.

>>8853971
Purges would have been more vaired at least.
Every costume would have had its own lingerie and all.

>>8853971
AT3 was shit though.

>>8853997
I fucking loved all ATs man.

>>8854750
Nice.

>>8853997
Please don't insult the meido's favourite game series.

>>8853997

Meh, 3 was the Return of the Jedi to 1's A New Hope and 2's Empire Strikes Back- not as good as the first two, but a worthy conclusion to the trilogy.

>>8854750
Epic.

>>8853997
I like it.

I mean, it's a nice game with a pretty epic story.

>>8853997
It has its share of flaws, but it isn't shit. The cosmospheres are top-notch and Finnel is my favorite heroine in the series after Jakuri.

>>8855178

Just because you want to see her thick log in the toilet.

They have a new copy of Ar Tonelico 3 at the local gamestop. Should I buy it?

>>8855524
Special edition?

>>8855563
I dont know, it was in a big box, though, so I assume it was, unless the normal one also came in a big box

>>8855524
>>8855631
Get it, and quickly.

>>8855524

How is it priced? I keep seeing people mention prices of $100+ which is really overpriced.

I'm about to start Mana Khemia 2. Do I start as a handsome, but slightly gay looking male character, or a cute and stylish girl?

>>8858651
I'm worried that you actually have to consider not choosing the cute stylish girl.

>>8858651
>handsome, but slightly gay looking male character
It's the best side of the game. But neiterh are better than Atelier Kaworu.

>>8858651

Male: More normal side
Female: Not so normal, more delinquent-ish side.

I loved the female protagonist's party. It's quite different from what most jrpg do when it comes to handling things.

>>8858694
I'm mainly asking about implications for gameplay.

>>8858703
So, the characters/story change depending on character?

>>8858710

Yes. You have completely different parties who tend to approach the given plot points differently. The plot points are the same, and you'll meet the other party every now and then, but yeah. It's still sort of different.

The male protag's party is more or less your standard (and kind of boring in comparison) party, while the female protag's party tends to take on the "bad" role. But it's more in a funny way, they aren't THAT bad. More like "I don't care how I do it, as long as it works".. or something. It's really fun to see for the most part, especially because it's so different from how most rpgs work.

Basically whatever party you choose first will be your "long" playthrough. If you bother doing the other one later on, things will be A LOT easier and way more boring. The second party will always get some more quests, which are actually scaled for the second party, but.. yeah.
Doesn't matter which party you choose first, as both have their strengths. I chose the female one first and had no problems whatsoever beating the game, others chose the male one and had no problems either.

>>8858820

Oh yeah, a valid comparison to the female protag's party might be Reimu from Touhou. You know Reimu isn't exactly bad, even though you might not always be too sure about that.

>>8858820
>>8858831
Thank you, good sir. Don't really plan playing a second time, so guess I'll start with the female character then.

>>8858845

You say that now, but.. there really is a whole lot different. But yeah, just try the female one. If you don't like it you could still start anew, although the two in my opinion best party members don't join immediately. (Pepperoni and Goto)

Maybe I should go back to that game one day too. Is Mana Khemia 2 actually running fine on an emulator? I have a ps2, but.. old tv and stuff don't make for the best quality. PC and ps3 are on a better sound system and screen.

>>8858908
It runs so-so. I occasionally notice vertical lines in the picture and the sound breaks off every time I enter a menu (a bit like lag). Maybe I'm missing some settings, since other games (e.g. Ar Tonelico, Persona) run just fine on my PC.

wasn't there a bug in mana khemia 2 which prevented you from reaching the end with one character if you played the other one first?

>>8855796
>>8858316

Well, I ended up paying $40 for it.

>>8859847
What's this about?

>>8858820
Shame that raze story just end like that. Maybe, if they made Raze as enemy or main boss in the end of the story, it will be more interesting.
Also his party has Puniyo.

>>8859847
I know two bugs in game.
1. One of Ulrika's job board monster freezes the game when it tries to attack. Defeating it quickly solves it.
2. End game with both parties together; when opening up the job board with Ulrika as the on-screen character, the game freezes. The way to solve this is to make Raze the on-screen character.

So i'm playing through AT3 again and i've just walked through the lymph vessel, you know that section on the outside with those dark blue walkways and the disc shaped elevators? Well I just looked below the walkways and there is some REALLY nice background artwork of those spikey rock formations sticking out of the clouds (not sure if they're counted as part of the great fang).
So my question is this: anyone know if that artwork exists on its own in a form begging to be made into my desktop background?

>>8862492
or for that matter any of the town art minus the game graphics. The art for the archia map is beautiful.

>>8862492
AT backgrounds are godtier, unfortunately, I only have them lowres.

>>8862053

>1. One of Ulrika's job board monster freezes the game when it tries to attack. Defeating it quickly solves it.

It's probably not an Ulrika job but rather a "second run" job. I did all jobs with Ulrika on my first playthrough and never encountered such a bug. And it sounds quite nasty. (Most enemies do get a turn after all) Didn't do my second run as Raze though. It was too boring.

>>8860279

Sounds like you got yourself a bargain then. Enjoy the game, good sir.

You'll never be the old man travelling with a pack of little girls. ;_;

>>8865566
I want to. It should be awesome.

Hey /jp/.

I was wondering if you know what the Ar Tonelico 2 bath music is called, and who's the author? I have the song, but it came as "bath music.mp3" and I don't know what to call it.

>>8866355
"A Secret Meeting at Midnight" sung by all the hymmnos singers. Shikata Akiko, Shimotsuki Haruka and Mitose Noriko.

>>8862492
Speaking of hard to get backgrounds I was trying my damnedest to get my hands on the Ar Tonelico Custom theme "Tree" for my PS3 today but it appears to be region locked for Australians. Made a new account to access to Hong Kong store and it's totally purchaseable there if I could actually get money onto that account and I'm not gonna spend $25 for a $200HKD prepaid card so I can only spend $16HKD.
Why doesn't Sony want my money?

>>8867747
Not region locked. just shitty publishers refusing to put their shit on PAL region stores.

Dont bother though. most of those paid themes are pretty disappointing and not worth the money.
instead make a Jap PSN account and grab the free Neptunia Mk2 theme. its pretty damn nice.

>>8867870
I think it's up on the US PSN store now as well. Didn't download to check since I figured it was the same.

>>8867870
the theme is actually lsited in the nisamerica site as available for PAL.
Even with the neptunia thing I'd probly run into the same problem of applying funds though.

...WHOA...NNIIIIIIIIICCEEEE BODDY....

>>8867879
It is. I just downloaded it using my US PSN account.
Would it be possible to share the theme though? I could upload it for /jp/ if it is.

>>8867898
>the theme is actually lsited in the nisamerica site as available for PAL.

Yeah that site is bullshit. Even though NISA often excludes certain country's in the PAL zone for retarded reasons it still says that its available for PAL.

As i said: The Neptunia mk2 theme is free. and themes can be used for all accounts on the PS3. The JP PSN has quite a few free themes and other freebies that are not on the western PSN stores.
Its worth checking out

>>8868278
Thanks for the advice, will do that

>>8866599
Thank you

The main difference between this thread and other threads:

>>>8867724

That's right Neo-chan, you can't empty the report queue this time, you have to delete it.

>>8868278

I suggest picking up all of the Dark Souls themes from the JP PSN store too. They're free and quite awesome.

>>8869977
Nice.

>>8869977
Yeah those themes are pretty Epic.

>>8868278
Wait, are these all dynamic, or just regular bullshit?

>>8869977
Yeah, I like it.

Gust a shit

>>8871156
I was wondering when OP was going to upvote this thread. It was getting kind of dangerous.

I like the Dark Souls themes though, they are nice and sound pretty epic.

I see what you're doing.

What the fuck is going on?

>>8867870
For most NA DLC you will have to actually use the search feature to find it. Some DLC isn't showing up even though it is in the store.

>>8871780
Speaking of DLC, does the PAL / EU version of Neptunia have any DLC yet? The list on the NISA site is still empty.

>>8873614
Yes we have the DLC except for the Scandinavian countries

On that note is neptunia mk2 worth the 40 bucks? im still burned by neptunia 1's shittyness

>>8873633
The game is an improvement over the first in almost every way.

>>8873747
given how shitty the first one was, that is not saying much.

>>8873747

Well, gameplay, music and graphics maybe.. but the other parts..

The eng dub is worse (and a halfdub), the lipsync is shit now, if you don't use japanese voices. Also the story and character interactions aren't as good, which however was really to be expected.

If someone uses the japanese dub anyway, it's much less of a problem, but the actual localization isn't nearly as good as Neptunia1's was. Though NISA most likely can't do anything with the lipsync. I'd assume Neptunia1 simply rendered things in realtime. Or, alternatively... it's a bug in MK2.
Neptunia1 was always lipsynced, no matter the language, which was nice.

>>8873989
Let me put it like this. How does it stack up against good JRPG's like Resonance of Fate and Tales of Vesperia gameplay and quality wise?

I crave a decent JRPG since scamco wont be release Tales of Graces F here until fucking summer. But if neptunia mk2 is a pile of mediocrity i'll wait till it hits the bargin bin.

>>8873633
>except for the Scandinavian countries
Fuck this, it happens all the time. Sometimes I wonder I even have a PS3.

JRPG isn't an actual genre. There are tons of different terms to accurately describe the content/theme of the games, but J/W-RPGs are terms that were simply coined with no clear definition to them by biased American game reviewers.

The only reason the terms even still exists today is because of the blatant elitism present in both camps.
"Western games are superior to the weeaboo scum".
"People just don't understand the superiority to Glorious Nippon's games!"
Sort of, even though the terms does squat in terms of explaining the games.

>>8873989
That's why I said almost. Story is debatable between the two, certain routes on MK2 really shine, but HDN1 has better story consistency and characters.

The dub was a damn shame though. I played both games with Japanese voices on. NISA needs to get their shit together and do things all of the way.

>>8874043
I'd say so. It's a decent to great RPG and time sink. The frame rate is pretty goddamn terrible at some points. The first scene in Gamindustry Graveyard is by far the worse. If you can, get whatever free DL;C that is available. Things like the money pack and dungeons help immensely.

>>8874079
Supposedly all that is holding Scandinavian releases in terms of DLC is translations.

>>8858703
>>8874043
>>8874092
Guys this isn't a JRPG, it's a visual novel. If it was a JRPG, this would go in /vg/.

>>8874126
It's a galge. Only half the game is a visual novel, but the entire game is a galge.

>>8874182
Is Super Metroid a galge?

>>8874092

huh?
j-rpg: Party-based story. Character interactions and cutscenes with several partymembers are normal. Also the story progresses through the party, reaching certain locations and talking to npcs. Cutszenes just between the partymembers are relatively normal.

w-rpg: Very npc based story. You go to all kinds of npcs, who tend to be important for a short while, and progress the story like that. If there is a party, your partymembers don't matter much. You can mostly talk to them in private, one at a time. But otherwise nothing much. Triggering cutscenes between your group for advancing the storyline most likely won't happen. Also "character creation" and "moral choices" are VERY popular.

There's also the setting: Most w-rpgs are fantasy based (Dragon Age, Reckoning and so on) or have some semi-shooter stuff going for them. (Mass Effect, Fallout..)
J-Rpg's seem to be a lot more varied, using a damn lot of different settings. Be it "our time" + school setting. Be it a fantasy setting. Be it steampunk. Be it a world war setting. Be it sci-fi. Be it something quite original like the Ar Tonelico world.


It's fine to separate those genre if you ask me. They really have quite a few storytelling differences. And that's enough.
It might be stupid to call them "j" and "w" rpgs, even if that's mostly accurate. But..

>>8874185
Not quite. Even despite the female main character and all the mother stuff.
The focus is on the action gameplay, and depending on the game, the exploration as well as the story, that isn't a character focused story. And they aren't girl first, everything else second type of games.

>>8874232
I liked the bits where Samus would say and think things.

Those were the best bits.

>>8874231
No offence, but this is sort of bullshit.
It's more the case that people born during the 90s or after either don't remember/were never part of, or are too embarrassed of to make note America's game history prior to it. Shit like a Bards Tale or whatever.

And instead more or less only looking at Bioware/Bethesda + Fallout or something, and talking about it as if that's what "western" (not even American, but for some reason all of the "West" as if it was some kind of huge unified region) games are as if it was something set in stone or whatever.

But it's even more of a laughing matter when you realize Japan's Computer RPG history and how they still have tons of hardcore RPG enthusiasts and developers.
In fact, in the DOS/PC-98 era, the games were surprisingly similar to eachother, but that's only natural, they had the same source of inspiration and tried to do the same things after all.

>>8874322

Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest or whatnot are just huge because they managed to get mainstream appeal. In a way they are the "casual games" of Computer RPGs, no offence intended.
America never took the "Casual Approach" and thus America's gaming industry never really managed to crawl out from being incredibly niche. It's one of the main reasons as to why Japan's game industry is so incredibly larger than America's.

But cue point, Japan's more "hardcore scene" didn't grow weaker from the casual games gaining mainstream footing, on the opposite the gaming industry as a whole grew stronger.

just take a look on WordsWorth or something. It's basically an Elders Scroll game but before TES.
Wizardry, one of America's most notable games of all times, inspired a great deal of Japan's games to the book.

Japan have in general just made more games. And they have always made games of all types.
To begin with, the gist of the differences you describe happens to be the differences between Computer RPGs and Console/Light RPGs. Contrary to what the names might imply, the terms aren't about what system the games were developed for, but are simply two different styles of types of games.
And in either case, it has little to nothing to do with region or culture.

My body was not ready for that.

>>8877339
Seriously NISA even advertised their fucking online shop in the game.
Not to mention anything Neptune says is fucking gibberish in the English translation.

Thatnk god for undub option and actually being able to understand what they're saying

>>8877342
Yup, I have to agree.

>>8881278
Nice last second save OP!

I really thought you were going to let this thread die.

>>8881278
I'll sue if they don't put a health warning in this game.

Hey /jp/. I've listened to songs from the AT series thousands of times, I really enjoy them. But I have never played any of the games. In fact, I don't even know what they are about. Can someone give me a quick rundown? Are they worth getting?

>>8884129

Get the fuck out secondary.

>>8884129
Fun RPGs with enjoyable characters, really nice artwork, and good music.

Just get the games in the OP post. Anon likes when people download the lazy pack.

>>8884154
>Shurelia without the armor

Not my favorite AT girl, but HNNNNG.

>>8884388

Boring as fuck
NO personality outside follow order yes sir
shortest cromosphere to dive into

NO!

Shurelia a shit

Misha is the best AT

>>8884427
While I don'ty agree with your opinion on Shurelia, I agree, Misha is best.

>>8884129
Yes, they are worth getting.
I don't think you can tl;dr the AT series with the backstory though.

>>8884129

Simply play the games yourself.

If you know the backstory of each song you'll learn to really appreciate them,
Chronicle Key, for example

>>8884611

I still think I remember what that song was, but.. eh.. nah. I'm just listening to some hymnos without caring about what/when they were played. I don't care. People are different.
Well, it's not like I ever got really emotional about the AT games anyway. I liked them, sure and I loved how AT3 ended the game as a series-finale. (Especially that credits-roll song) Still, it's about damn time we get our AT4 announcement. In a new world, maybe with a new name, I don't really care. And having a female lead wouldn't be too bad either. Someone like Cocona though please. Would change some of the formula and keep things a bit more fresh. Though please no shoujo-romance.. though that should go without saying. (If romance is needed, then girl on girl)

>>8884427

Wasn't Shurelia's cosmosphere as long as the others? I know it had less "levels", but each level was longer than what you had with the other girls.
Well, whatever, still is my favorite girl in AT.

>>8884427
>Shurelia a shit
Your opinion is horrible.

>Misha
>best AT
No, just no.

>>8884664
>AT4
>asking for one with a new world
>Not hearing of Ciel no Surge
What the fuck? Bought a Vita just for it.
Also, it seems that GUST has skipped the RPG part of it entirely. It's now 100% a galge in the same vein as Love Plus.

>>8884679

Of course I know about it, but I ignore it. That vita game's format is just.. horrible.
And just because there's a vita "dating sim" or whatever doesn't mean that a ps3 version would be just a sim as well. I mean, why put a whole lot of different sims on different consoles? I'd assume the vita decision was made, because Sony paid some bucks and a sim is WAY easier and quicker to program than a real game. Gust isn't a big company. If they'd programmed a full vita game to release at this time.. I'm pretty sure the upcoming "Atelier Ayesha" wouldn't exist. And the Atelier series is still their flagship, with one release every year around the same time.

>>8884750
>>8884664
Newfag summer incoming?
Man, seriously.

>>8884750
It'll probably be another year until another AT or derivative is even announced.

>>8884664
Ar Tonelico isn't final fantasy, it takes place on Ar ciel or it doesn't take place. An AT4 announcement is not likely since the creators consider the story more or less finished (enough so that a sequel isn't guaranteed at least. Hell they shut down the Tokusphere) and have moved on to other things. GUST is not a very big developer so they can't be working on a new AT or a game like one when they've got Atelier and Ciel no surge on their plate.
Take into account that their new owners Tecmo Koei apparently want GUST to focus on social gaming and a new AT-like game seems years away from being announced.

That being said if a new Ar Tonelico were to be released two possible settings come to mind.
1. A prequel that focuses on the events surrounding the grathnode inferia and the early tower development.
2. Focusing on the recolonisation of Ar Ciel's surface and the new interactions between the people of the three towers (covered a little by drama CDs)

It'd be nice if they did continue Ar Tonelico, the idea that hymmnos or the insane amount of world building efforts that went into things like sound science never getting used again is a little depressing.

>>8885051
>it takes place on Ar ciel or it doesn't take place
That's why I said "new name".

Ar Tonelico, as a trilogy, is finished, yes. That doesn't mean that they can't continue in the same world a few dozen or even hundred years later though. Honestly, that would actually be rather interesting. Some of the reyvateils have a LONG life. Their possible human partners however not so much. I actually doubt such a thing would be addressed too much, given that there are no canon romances in AT, but.. yeah.
The AT world still offers enough for them to go back to. And with the release-dates being 2006/2007/2010, it's slowly but surely time we hear something. (not like right now, but within a year)
Their big Ciel no Surge project might be already "it" though. Or I'm confusing something, but as far as I remember, it's supposed to become a series on multiple consoles.

>>8885051
>>8885120
I think they're more likely to do some sort of gimmicky spin-off that will fail miserably.

>>8884788
Well duh, why do you think all the gamers are flocking to /jp/ and having their video game generals here?

>>8885120
Forcing new games after a series is clearly done and over is a pretty good way to turn it to shit.

>>8885141
In before people hilariously list examples of where this has happened.

>>8885120
It's a fair bet if they do anything of the style of Ar Tonelico TOTAL COMMAND will be in on it so keep an eye on what he's doing. For now that's Ciel I think.
>>8885124
>I think they're more likely to do some sort of gimmicky spin-off that will fail miserably.
It hurts to hear this because it's got a decent chance of being true

Ciel nosurge has song magic, therefore it is set in the universe made by Exa_Pico.

haha wow, i didn't notice it was that old.

wow this thread is old

>>8885565
Because there's nothing to discuss.
It's like forcing a permanent comiket thread thread 24/7/365 even when there's no ongoing event.

>>8886569
It would make more sense in /games/, to be honest.

>>8887895
so would touhou.

>>8888079
Touhou threads are mostly image dumps.

And by the way OP, /vg/ is actually slower than /jp/ and has more threads in total.
You'll have to bump your thread less often there to save it from auto-pruning.

>vg slower than jp

And /jp/ always was about a whole damn lot of things which can also be discussed in other boards. All the music ones for example.

>>8889503
/vg/ also has 180 threads instead of 160.

Cross-board content is perfectly. I'm just curious why OP desperately tries to force this permanent thread here. A thread where nothing happens. It's as silly as keeping permanent comiket thread 365 days a year >>8886569

>>8889546

>A thread where nothing happens.

And yet here it is over a year later still quite active and has a moderator approval. Why are you so asspained exactly?

>>8889546
Vg threads are generals with hundreds of replies. Jp threads are >/jp/ and japanese birds with 0 replies

>>8889546
I do not "save" the thread. That's the reason why the last one 404'd at around 260 posts.

There might be no discussion going on at the moment, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any discussion going on tomorrow or in a few hours, depending on whether someone has a question on already released games or if there's new info on Atelier Ayesha, Surge no Ciel or whatever else is coming out next.

You must be rather new here (not meant as an insult) if you think this thread is old; in the past there's been quite a few threads older than a month. That's the way this thread works, that's the way /jp/ works ... this board is incredibly slow compared to the other ones, unless there's a raid going on or, as it sadly happens more often recently, we get people spamming random BS.

Either way, I do not understand why you're so keen on lecturing us on how our thread is "too old without any discussion" or other reason why the thread shouldn't exist. Does it bother you that much, or, since you brought up /vg/, are you the guy who's been on a crusade to get this thread to move there?

>>8889575
>quite active
Check the timestamps. Check how old this thread is. OP bumps it twice a day, which generates a bit of replies during the time the thread is on the front page. That's all.
The same would happen with a permanent Comiket thread with no ongoing event.

>and has a moderator approval
And yes, sorry, I forgot a word in >Cross-board content is perfectly.
The missing word is "fine".
So now after rereading the post you quoted, tell me, how did your autistic mind come up with the idea that I was "asspained"?

>>8889606
>but that doesn't mean that there won't be any discussion going on tomorrow or in a few hours
Of course, your thread will eventually get a reply which will trigger some sort of discussion.

Exactly like any other forced permanent thread. For example some obscure general thread about Natsume Souseki will too generate a brief discussion, some time, eventually.

Is just thread. Why everyone heff to mad?

>>8889435
>And by the way OP, /vg/ is actually slower than /jp/
the last time a gust thread was made there, it 404'd after few hours with less than 20 posts.

>>8889897
Because it was new and was constantly spammed. Now it's slower than /jp/ and has more space for threads. See >>8889546
Last time I checked there was a perfectly fine Neptunia thread there.

We are on 4chan, not some random forum, if somebody wants to discuss a gust game then the person will make a thread about it like with any other topic. You don't need to make preemptive threads "just in case".

tl;dr
Don't expect any kindness when the only thing you care about is you, yourself and your own permanent thread and when your only argument is "let me have my thread, it's harmless".

>>8889953
Ignoring threads you don't like doesn't take kindness. Thast's what you're meant to do. That's normal. If you don't think it's normal then you're a very bad girl and you really shouldn't be in /jp/.

>>8889953

The Neptunia thread is WAY more active than this Gust thread. WAY more. It's quite surprising, yes, but yeah. That's why it easily survives. This Gust thread wouldn't. I already mentioned the difference. The last time I checked, /vg/ stuff died 8hours earlier than /jp/ stuff.

And really, all this "vg or not vg" is really stupid. It's here. It has been approved to be here. It was always here. Of course, you could just delete /jp/ and get all the threads to soc, mu, vg and co, but really? There's a good reason why jp exists.
This whole discussion is just stupid.

>>8889967
I'm glad most of us don't take it easy. People actually think before making threads, they ask themselves questions like "Should I really force this thread upon /jp/?", "Should I really make a thread about this funny image I just found on futaba?", "Should I really start another touhou image dump?". That's why /jp/ is such a good board compared to /a/ for example. Otherwise half of the board would be covered in "generals", gusts and other vanillaware permathreads.

But OP doesn't care. OP takes it easy. OP just wants his permathread on /jp/, otherwise all his pasta will gop to waste.

>>8890010
I understand where you're coming from, but you're really trying too hard. Being too strict is really just as bad as being too lax.

I think it's a bit late to save /jp/ from people making shitty threads, in any case.

>>8889897
If it was one of my threads, that was because nobody tried. I made it three times and regulars to this thread just flamed/spammed in them.

If these threads get purged relatively quickly on a board *designed* for long-lasting, slow threads, then maybe you should question the need for a 24/7 thread in the first place.

>>8890241
Use the textboard then.

>>8890250
The hell are you talking about?
You need to careful reread the posts you reply to until you finally understand them.

Thanks for the upvote by the way.

>>8889606
I normally turn a blind eye to these threads and they don't particularly bother me, but this post annoyed me. So your point for making this thread is that discussion may happen? This thread needs to be here every minute of every day for months in case someone wants to talk about these games? That's so stupid. It's like domain parking, but just so you can say you registered the domain first. Or something.

I like a ton of things, but I don't have a 24/7 thread so people can discuss them. If something happens or I have a question or whatever, I make a thread. If it's popular, people keep it going because they're having a discussion. That's why other long-running threads work. This is just dumb.

I'm going to repost this in hopes of catching some different people's attention.

Does anyone have a game save for Mana Khemia on PCSX2 that is anywhere near the end (like chapter 9 and on)? I recently had my hdd fail, and like a dummy, I didn't have a backup. I would really like to finish the game, so if anyone has something like this, I would really appreciate it if you could upload it for me.

>>8890262
My save is for the PSP version, sorry.

>>8890221

drawfag anon, is that you?

I've already seen the black and white version of this and this really reminds me of the guy who asked for advice for an artwork featuring all characters of the AT series

I took the time and wrote one rather elaborate answer back then,
so it would be nice to know if it actually is you, anon

>>8890388
Yeah, that was me. I'm still sketching the one with all the characters and practicing some coloring, making sure I can do my best.

>>8890221

Great job. Thank you as always for the OC.

>>8885435
>girl gets a snarky nerd girl, huge muscular fairy man, a stuffed toy who hits on chicks and a shota.
I know I chose this route just for Chloe/Kuroi.

Been sorting through my AT music recently and was wondering if any of the drama CDs or the voice de toukousphere ever got a translation like the TIlia drama CD did.

>>8892319
It's not like they're hard to understand.

>>8892356
I understand maybe a quarter to half of what's going on in them, I'd rather have a full picture.

>>8892399
Interesting then, find out if there's no translations at all, we could translate that stuff ourselves if needed.

>>8892434
Translations sort of exist for the AT2 drama CDs but they're mostly just summaries of what happens in them with a few quotes. Only Tilia seems to have an actual line by line translated transcript. Can't find anything on a translation for voice de toukousphere.

I don't like AR at all, but I had to say I open OP's picture everytime I scroll down the page.

Dat tummy, so lewd.


Sorry for the interruption, please continue.

>>8892587
Yeah I don't like Augmented Reality that much either, too much hype.

>>8892834
>AR
Sleep deprivation bro. Good Night.

>>8892565

Try bringing it up on the ARM forum? I'm sure someone there would be interested in getting this stuff translated.

Shouldn't this be on /vg/?

>>8893000
You should give it a try, you may like what you see. That's how many of us got into it.

>>8890441

Looks really great so far,
I'm looking forward to see the actual picture featuring all characters!

And yes I have to agree with

>>8891817

Thank you for the OC!

Meruru around the corner and Ayesha is looking more and more promising. Gust certainly knows how to get me excited.

Thanks OP for those epic bumps.

I kind of feel bad for you, though.

>>8898550
Considering it's relatively cheap (same price as "Byakumu no Mayu"), it's probably a mini album.
I haven't found a track list yet, though.

>>8898568
So you think that every time someone posts a reply, it's the OP bumping the thread? The hell did you do to achieve such a strong paranoia?

>>8898604
>The hell did you do to achieve such a strong paranoia?
Calm down, nerd.
I'm just amazed by how unnaturally forced posts like >>8898057 feel.

>>8898623
What's wrong with crap bumping your thread with the very first picture you find on pixiv?

http://www.pixiv.net/tags.php?tag=アーシャのアトリエ

>>8898550
Seems like a just a concert based live album. How the hell does a Shikata Akiko concert work anyway?

>>8898413
Finally we get some info.
We already knew it would have the same name as the 2011 concert.
I had hoped they would change it or leave it like that just for convenience. But with that picture ("Akiko Shikata Live 2011") now we know it's actually related to the live. And the live already got its ORUGOORU special CD.
So what the hell could this new CD mean, released months after the event and at such a low price?

>>8898726
>So what the hell could this new CD mean, released months after the event and at such a low price?
"We have absolutely nothing original and new to release, so have this thing instead to shut you up"

>>8898726
Just so I don't cause any confusion: The image was taken from Laylania concert page, it is most likely not what you will get with the cd release. cdjapan doesn't have any images up yet.

>>8898740
That explains a lot really.

>>8898740
Oh, stupid me.
Then we're back to "A CD titled 'Laylania' somehow related to the live". Oh well, we'll see in two months. If they don't push it back again.

ignore them op. I enjoy this thread

>>8899489
Nice.

I enjoy the simple fact that there will be always a "just in case" permanent thread waiting for me when I get back from school.

Keep up the good work OP!

Oh and by the way, could you also bump the vanillaware thread from time to time?
Here's the pixiv tag: オーディンスフィア for some... "content".
You know the drill, right ;)

>>8899603
There's a vanillaware thread? I'm in.

Ok so I've played AT 1-3, and I'm interested in playing more Gust titles. Where do I start if I wanna play the Atelier games? I believe there are 2 titles for the PS3 and one more coming out soon?

>>8899648
Start with the Atelier Iris on PS2m then Mana Khemia, then the Arland ones on PS3.

>>8900498
Lewd yes, slut no. After all, she only wants Gojo and she's damn determined to get him.

Unlike Luca who'll let anyone dive into her.

Yeah, right, sluts. Um, Luca is a slut. I agree.

Why doesn't the personality patches for harvestasha have japanese voice acting? The english ones are pretty good but I'm still interested in hearing harvestasha use a cuter voice

And is the elemia island dlc really short? part 1 ended so soon...

>>8901611
Those personality patches were only released in the english version.

>>8901611

When the DLC was released in Japan it was done long after the game itself was released. The DLC was available before NISA had released the game in English though so they decided to voice it while they still had the VA's around. This is why it isn't voiced in Japanese but it's voiced in English.

>>8901611
It's probably an hour or two long depending on how fast your read.

The payoff is, of course, the ending.

It'd be nice if someone were to find a way to mess with an emulator to fuck around with the world map cameras in AT1&2 so we could get some nice hirez screencaps of the towers without the fixed camera angles.

As >>8890260 said, people will make a thread when there's something to discuss, no need for a placeholder permathread. That's how imageboards work. Don't complain about the occasion shitstorm if you can't understand this.

No offense.

>>8904988

Indeed. Now it's just petty trolling with "Every post is the OP" and "GO TO /vg/ HURRR". It's getting pretty old, to be honest. Oh well, at least Meruru is coming out soon.

>>8905369
Nothing ever happened in these threads as far as I remember. Unless a new game is released, there's just not enough to discuss to warrant a General thread.

Awfuly silly, but fun to watch from the sidelines.

I'm playing through AT1 for the first time (picked up AT2 on a whim, loved it, AT3 came out a week after I finished it, and only now am I getting round to 1), and I somehow have no desire to do ANY grathmelding. Seriously, it's just so unbelievably clunky compared to synthesis in the rest of the series, and the item's just don't seem worth it for the ingredients I put in.

Add in the fact I'm stomping most enemies with my vanguards alone, and only really need to call in help from the reyvateils for bosses and enemies immune to physical damage, and I'll probably never see most of the item synthesis scenes.

I've reached the point where Shurelia has been re-awakened and joined my party. Is there anything actually decent I can get from grathmelding that'll help me out down the line, or shoudl I just keep pushing ahead.

>>8905267
>Cross board content was always allowed.
You really don't remember the Ar Tonelico/Persona threads of yesteryear?

It's fine to say they're allowed now, but don't try to rewrite recorded history.

>>8905565
You don't really have to do any except for some key items and weapons, you'll miss some scenes, yes, but it's not like they're as good as in 2 nor give you trophies like in 3.

>>8905596
That's a relief, I can now sell this massive pile of useless grathnodes I was only hanging onto for future grathmelding use and buy some healing items with the cash

>>8905614
Well uh, remember those key items I mentioned? You'll still need grathnodes for those.

>>8905653
Well, I'll inevitably getting more from random encounters, but how many more mandatory grathmelds are there? At this point I've already done The thing to teleport through the Frozen Eye, and the part to repair the airship

>>8909202
I don't get why. Your thread isn't going to purge from page 7 or whatever, but people keep bumping it. We don't need to see it. Fans know how to find this thread if they want it.

Furthermore if it IS in danger of being purged, why bump it? Surely that shows you don't need a 24/7 thread? Just make threads when something HAPPENS. Nobody is even really discussing the game any more, beyond the odd, "Hi guys how should I get into these games." And this thread has been here over a week!

funny though how your bitch posts magically appear a few mins after "op bumped the thread" posts. you're either posting them yourself or are spending way too much time monitoring the thread you hate so much

>>8909174

So what, we're not allowed to correct newbies' mistakes any more? Is "lurk more" going to become a bannable offense?

>>8909671
Nobody is moderating, they were telling people how to post without looking like an idiot. Go to any thread in 4chan and type improperly or use sage incorrectly, you will be told off for it. This is fine and part of the site.
The reason people keep noticing these bumps is because they're bumping the thread. Perhaps you use some sort of userscript that makes it so ageing doesn't bump a thread, but be respectful of the 99% of us who don't.

>8909671
I posted because I saw the thread on the front page.

And how did the janitor get in here anyway? Do you people actually report every saged post that isn't "WOW so cool" or "I can't wait!" or "Luca is such a sluuuut!"?

10 minute 'gameplay' video. I had to laugh at the start where the text box covers up her clothing so she appears naked. The soundtrack is pretty nice but I guess that's a given with Akiko Shikata in charge.

>>8907979

That witch is pretty delicious.

>>8911247
I can't wait!

>>8907979
Step aside little girl. I am a true alchemist.

>>8912012
She's a witch who can't fly, not an alchemist.

>>8913732
I know the witch is not the alchemist.

That's quite interesting. I didn't think a game like Surge Concerto would get such advertising but it's good publicity for GUST at least.

>>8914912
Nice

>>8914951

Do you ever sleep?

>>8898751
cdjapan updated their page with the cover now. Sadly, there's only a lowres version available. Nothing better on the official site either. (http://www.fwinc.co.jp/music/shikata/#DISCOGRAPHY )

Shikata and her producer also posted several things on twitter since yesterday, though my Japanese isn't good enough to understand most of it (and google translate is kinda meh).
Seems like the CD will be based on the story from the live concert with the same name that she held at the end of 2011.

Seriously, GUST?

>>8916276

Mind giving a basic translation for those of us who can't read runes? Thanks.

>>8916276
What's so amazing about this dialog?

>>8916314
The three options read:
I'm a working adult.
I'm a student.
I don't do anything.

>>8916276
>>8916355
I dearly hope Ion is not one to judge.

>>8916375
I agree

>>8916276
Though I have to add Shikata's music was beautiful as always.
Too bad we won't get the game (no official confirmation or anything, but you can see from the videos that this wouldn't work here, at least from the publisher's point of view), but the music alone will be great. I'd be even happier if there are lots of vocal tracks as BGM, like in the video.

>>8916399
Have the decency to sage at least when you keep repeating how you like the music for the 5th time.

>>8916422
Sage when the first five pages are covered with shit? No.
Sage when this is the first time I post in this thread in three days? No.
Sage when responding to a [insert expletive] post and not contributing anything? Yes, why not.

>>8916442
>not contributing anything?
I like the music very much.

See? Contribution!

>>8916468
If you don't see the difference between
>I adore Shikata Akiko
and
>Spurdo Spärde.
>im right here dude :)
>Japanese loli eating icecream.
>Guns are the reason why jews are in power.
Then it's not in my power to help you.

>>8916442
>the first time I post in this thread in three days
No offense, but, seeing how you use parenthesis, I'm pretty sure you also posted >>8916108 too. A bump which basically says "There's nothing new, nothing to discuss, not even a high resolution image of the album.".

>>8916595
The whole thread is made up of you bitching every time someone posts without using sage, no matter on which page the thread is and no matter what the content of the post is.
I'd much rather have one person post how they like Akiko Shikata, bumping the thread, than having to read you throwing your tantrum of butthurt every day.

And don't give me that crap again about how you're just trying to teach people about the courtesy rules of /jp/, because I certainly don't see you whining on other threads where those rules are broken.

>>8916633
Nope, that was me. Sorry that I couldn't provide enough new information to meet your min. required quota no one gives a fuck about? Also, good job bumping the thread without content!

>>8916647
>I'd much rather have one person post how they like Akiko Shikata, bumping the thread, than having to read you throwing your tantrum of butthurt every day.
Keep your "thoughts" to yourself, or at least to your thread. Don't bring them to the front page.

If there's not enough legit discussion to keep the thread alive, then drop it and wait until there's something interesting to make a new one.

The discussion is now about how you bitched so much you made the thread his the bump limit long before it would have naturally, so now someone will make a new thread.

gg

>>8916776
>so now someone will make a new thread
Why?

Just ignore everything the armchair admin troll says already guys. It's the one guy that got anally exploded from before by the way.

>>8916399
>>Too bad we won't get the game (no official confirmation or anything, but you can see from the videos that this wouldn't work here, at least from the publisher's point of view)

I think it will happen. Vita could use more games.

>>8916965
>It's the one guy
I wonder how many guys are there in this thread seeing how you have to come and save this thread every 5 hours or so.

>>8916276
Anyone playing it now? My copy just shipped.

>>8916965
> It's the one guy
It isn't. You're paranoid and delusional.
What did they do to you in Afghanistan?

>>8917022
Whatever you say.

>>8917015

Pretty tempted to buy it even though I have no Vita.

>>8917043
Well the LE is quite nice at least.
Buy a goddamn Vita already

>>8917015
You better start ripping the music, anon. It's your duty.

>>8917067
How? I can only take crappy screencaps with this thing, and Line-In cables give low quality.

>>8917097
Well, of course, write a program that dumps the contents of the Vita card through the USB interface, and another one to extract the audio data to raw audio files. You should be able to solve this.

>>8917113
Hahaha a good one, a grat one XD

>>8917113
I can stream it with the Nico app though.

>>8917190
Oh my. They sure have come a long way.

>>8917224
Agreed

Can someone explain how the new MyGustID thing work? and how it replaces their old account stuff.

http://social.gust.co.jp/pc/account/register/

>>8918722
You mean the Gust Social thing?
I was checking the Surge Concerto Social, but there are no news there, I figure it will get statistics of the game's social aspects. There's also the Gust Store and and stuff, nothing much, just an account for managing all that.

How long would Meruru take to 100%? Roughly about the same time as Rorona/Totori? There's so many MMO betas available around that time along with Diablo 3 so it'd be nice to know how much of a timesink it is.

I'm new here so I don't know the ins and outs of this forum, but shouldn't this be on /vg/?

>>8923242
get a load of this nerd

>>8923193
Arland Ateliers are always a bitch to 100%, I usually just finish the story and worry about getting platinum after I'm done with everything else.

>>8923242
Yes, a mod even said so.

Regulars like to ignore that part of his post though and only acknowledge the part that says they're *tolerated* (look up the meaning of the word).

/jp/ is betterer than /vg/ though, so they go here. Like when I make my blog threads on /jp/ instead of /r9k/ or /adv/.

>>8923346
Who the fuck cares? It's just a damn thread.

>>8923386

Yeah, because this wasn't deleted and banned over and over then forced into being an accepted thread that the janitor now hand-picks posts from. At least it hasn't set a precedent for other /v/ or /vg/ threads, or post-it-enough-and-it-will-be-allowed threads.

Oh, wait...

>>8923396
Yes, and? why do you care? And as far as I know, these thread were only deleted because people like you argued about them int he first place, not because they weren't allowed. And believe me, I know.

Trying to decide between the gust shop ayesha or ebten's. What do you guys think?

http://shop.salburg.com/product/ayesha_comboset/detail/

http://ebten.jp/p/4943015080901/?aid=lb_ays

Wow, so Ciel nosurge is selling pretty well.

>>8923546
I would like to use the Gust shop, but shipping here would be a pain for me. On the other hand, isn't cheaper right now (13% off) on AmiAmi?

how did I miss this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJVOTF2qCLk

>>8923673
I was wondering more about the special items. I think ebten has a tapestry and 3 postcards and gust shop has some cd that I'm not sure what it is

>>8914912
So isn't this more like diving system in AT?

>>8924834
It IS AT's diving system. A whole game about diving, except it's not Cosmosphere but Dream world.

>>8924021
Still the best piece of music I've heard from Ayesha so far. It's a rip from the Gust Secret Book.

>>8919104
>>8923193
Straight from page 15. I was starting to get worried.

>>8924021
Excellent. Who's the composer? It doesn't have the same feel as other Atelier's music, so I couldn't even take a guess.

Holy shit this thread has been alive two weeks.

Guess we have a lot of AT fans on /jp/.

>mfw I just discovered Ar Tonelico 3 months ago, marathoned all 3 games and just beginning to realize there won't be anymore

How much money do you think it takes to acquire an IP in Japan?

>>8926046
>that feel when I know that feel

>>8926036
Stop being so ironic dude, you'll hurt OP's feelings.

>>8926046
I can't listen to Ec Tisia completely or it starts reminding me there won't be more AT.
Let's hope Surge Concerto lives up to Tsuchiya's name.

>>8926046
>that feel when I know that feel

I actually wouldn't mind if someone else took over the series, I think a few companies could do a good job.

>>8926098
>I think a few companies could do a good job.
NOPE, leave AT alone. It was a trilogy that ended right, there's no need to continue it.

What's with this?

>>8926950
Holy shit what?

>>8926950
Meido's fav.

>>8926988
>>8927764
Finally learned how to sage only when the thread hit the bump limit?

>>8928261
Stay mad.
