Not really sure about AT2, though, since I could've forgotten to complete Jakuri's Cosmosphere, but there should be a save right before the final boss, so you can still do it yourself.

Would it be worth to get a Vita to play Ciel ? I already bought the game but I didn't know it's not compatible with the PSTV so I'm at a loss here.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14568921
I didn't think it was worth it. Then I started watching the translated story on YT (to prepare for Ar), and after about two chapters I ended up getting the game and a Vita. Ion was just too cute, and I'm a sucker for games where you can collect outfits and dress up your characters.

If you only care about the story, though, you can get by with just the translation pastebin or videos.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14568921
If your PS TV is not on the latest firmware v3.55, you can hack its whitelist to allow playing any Vita game you want (but if the game requires Vita-exclusive input such as camera or touch screen it may become uncompletable; I don't know how Ciel in particular will be affected).
If it is on the latest firmware and you still get a Vita, there's a good chance that one of them will be collecting dust soon.
Ideally you should have:
1) Vita on exploitable firmware: 3.18 or older (best) > 3.3x - 3.51 > 3.52 > 3.55 (worst)
2) PS3 capable of PSN access (OFW or CFW) to transfer Vita games from if your 1) Vita is not on the latest firmware
3) Vita/TV on the latest firmware for online features, PS+ and playing Vita games that require newer firmware than 1) has.

So if you already have a PS3, you should get a hackable Vita (Ciel is older than the "golden" firmware 3.18, so you can have many older consoles in your single Vita through emulation).

If not, you can still get a Vita and a memory card, but it will be the waste of money for the most part unless you sell them or PS TV when you're done playing Ciel (it's not possible to use a memcard from 3.55+ Vita/TV in Vita/TV on older firmware anymore).

I haven't played them all, but I'm playing Salburg (currently Elie) and it's a blast. I had always thought of them as simple, primitive games but it turns out they're very fun, Elie opens things up with custom crafting, 13 different endings, and many many events. Very fun stuff.

Mana Khemia had a really good card based battle system, and Roxis was amazing shuffling the cards.

I always wonder why Gust ditched that, and instead made a very primitive and basic turn based system thereafter. Why can't we have both awesome alchemy and awesome battles?

Interesting that all 3 Koei Tecmo representatives are from Gust.

With regards to Atelier Sophie, market response was pretty good so it seems like he's going to try something new the next time. KT probably gave him the greenlight.

With regards to Yoru no Nai Kuni, the director is working with Gust on a new game now.

With regards to Surge Concerto, Tsuchiya says 2016 is a year where he fights with his life on his line ("命をかけた戦いになる"). What does that mean? No elaboration. Let's hope he's not sick or anything. Japanese colds can be fatal...
He's still working on Surge Concerto stuff and tells us to wait warmly for a Surge Concerto related (light?) novel.

I think you mean that Atelier is the only good thing they've been putting out recently. I don't care for Surge or Yoru at all but Atelier is still one of the few good series that Japan has left. I could maybe be interested in a Yoru sequel as long as it has a new main cast. I'd kind of rather see them try another new IP though.

That's unchanging personality. When given similar enough stimuli, she will respond the same, every time.
And stimuli being "a pretty guy", a preprogrammed response is "homewreck".
Well, at least with Lyner she doesn't actually ask him to stay unless you've gone through all of her Cosmosphere, even if it isn't a real Cosmosphere. So that doesn't really come out of nowhere, by this point that's kind of a natural reaction.

I finally prepared my EXA_PICO Autistic Music Collection. I'm not sure how many people actually want this, but I had some free time so I made it.

I believe most of it is the same music as the latest FLAC collection, there's a few albums I had to go out of my way to get IIRC, those are in there too.

Everything is tagged and organized correctly.

It's a good idea, I can see what will I do about that.

By the way, here's the list still missing from the collection:

1) Hymmnos Consert Cherry Album. The stuff of nightmares, incredibly rare to find even in Japan, I think. Doesn't exist in the web.
2) Cosmocrystal, recent work from ARM. STILL can't find any of it's downloads in the web. I can't order anything from the location where I live, because of heavy restrictions, so I hope, if this is possible, anons can take care of it, so it can finally be added.

NISA is known for their mediocre translations and extremely liberal work when handling certain games. Among the list of games is Ar tonelico 2 which suffered greatly with a lot of things mistranslated and a lot of instances had characters sounding completely different to how they actually are. In a game that actually has a decent world and lore behind it this was rather shitty so some guys came along and have been working on it for a few years now.

It was playable before without a doubt but the retranslation just makes it better and more in line with what was actually intended. But now I'm reminded the poor Neptunia games will be forever shitty thanks to NISA. ;_;

As if the retranslation will ever be released outside of ``private beta testing''. Hahaha, nice one.

Besides, are you telling me that Bitch and Whore are somehow better people when their translation isn't butchered? No thank you, I have absolutely no desire to slog through AT2 again, since it takes so long for best girl to join your ranks. And even after that, best girl is just an afterthought in the story, unfortunately. A tip to AT1 fan. Even her ending is more focused on what became of the other two.

I would certainly agree with the second one. The end of Layer 1 takes the cake. After that, it's lighter, but the whole Layer 1, really, takes the cake. I even doubted I'm playing the same hopeful, idealistic game at the time.

This could pretty much sum up the backstory of almost all charaters in the game. It really sucks to be in the surge concerto universe, apparently

I did the same even if Luca was, and is still, my favorite character-wise. Depite this, Luca DEFINITELY gets the short end of the stick in the game though; even her own path has Cloche everywhere in it, Cloche's........ Not so much. Too bad. This definitely could have been handled better

Let's see.

Delta: somehow really easily possessed by extradimensional beings
Cass: falls in love with an idiot who's really easily possess by extradimensional beings
Sarly: Extremely sick.
Shirotaka: Fight with family about future goals.
Kanon: Artificially created and trained as COSAL shell.
Nay: Bodyjacked, used for experiments.
Ionasal: Souljacked, used for experiments.
Reon: Souljacked and imprisoned for thousands of years.

Back on Ar Ciel:
Misha: Made to sing for a decade.
Aurica: Family and hometown slaughtered, psychologically scarred.
Shurelia: Permanent NTR syndrome
Luca: Adopted, adoptive father dies, sister kidnapped, grows up in extreme poverty, sells her "body" for money
Cloche: Adopted, kidnapped, used for experiments and as political puppet.
Jacqli: Tortured, experimented on, first loved one killed, imprisoned for 350 years, defeated and saved by an idiot who rewrote her Binary Sphere story.
Cocona: Murdered her own family due to outbreak.
Sakia Lumei: Made specifically as a shell for the Wills.
Finnel: Made as sacrificial body for Ar Ru.

Mir and Reon are probably the worst due to length of time and being actively experimented on and tortured.

On average though I'd say Ar Tonelico had more broken characters than Surge Concerto, since the entire premise of Reyvateils and the Cosmosphere hinges on deep personal damage.

I think Tsuchiya was really clever with the Genometrics in Ar nosurge though. By making pair dives, the attention gets focused on the relationships between the characters more than the characters individually.

I think it's part of the charm. There's a certain sense of release when Apocalypse and everybody's misery gets resolved by the power of friendship and understanding.
EXA_PICO is dark in the background, but bright in the foreground. It can have hundreds of years of miserable backstory, but in the game itself it will get resolved at least in one ending.
Also, how is the premise of Reyvateil "hinge on deep personal damage"? Or are you speaking about the fact all 3rd Generations die young? Because in actuality there is no rule that Reyvateil must be miserable, it would just be boring to get into a Cosmosphere of a "normal" Reyvateil so the games don't show them much. The closest we get is Aurica, and she's still tortured and psychologically wrecked.

The Cosmosphere mechanic in the game requires all of the heroines to be psychologically damaged.

>I think it's part of the charm. There's a certain sense of release when Apocalypse and everybody's misery gets resolved by the power of friendship and understanding.
I'm not sure I agree with the "everything gets resolved" part. For me, the charm is that not everything gets resolved. Sure, there's the happy ending, but so many things were lost and not recovered along the way. That bittersweetness makes it better than a fairy tale ending.

Take Surge Concerto, for example. Almost everyone is dead: all the people who died during Ra Ciela's last years, all the genom who died with the planet, the planet itself, the original scouting party including Telefunken, then all of the people and Sharl who died on the Soreil. There's Pram, Greicoff, Neptool (who went mad/evil trying to save Sarly). There's Zill, who had humanity's best wishes in mind (although crazy). Undu and Crackett, who died trying to fix their mistake which caused ALL of this shit in the first place. At the end, a small handful of scarred survivors, on their reborn planet. Yay, happy ending?

I can agree with the sense of release though, it's basically catharsis.

In Picard, you can add a composer field to a particular track and save it but the information is not send to MusicBrainz database. At least I couldn't find it anywhere in the web interface

Never expected so much fan stuff existed for EXA_PICO. I'm impressed.
Apparently, some of these are some sort of bootleg versions for Cosmocrystal album.

Anyway, still searching for Concert Cherry and actual Cosmocrystal album, any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

This one is probably Makura's version on Misha's PAJA. That means we still are missing two tracks - Phantasmagoria and Singing Hill Cherry.

I'll keep looking.
