Top 10 Most Boring Anime of Winter 2012 - Symphogear? With all the fights, conspirancies, lesbians, training montages and all... boring? Really?... More
But isn't this whole series pretty uhh whats the word....."stimulating" to begin with. I mean you "dive" into the girl.....off the top of my head I can come up with like millions of jokes. So what does a few panty shots, flat chest, lolis, and traps matter.....its pretty much the accepted norm now and days.....its all well and good until the femnazi's rear their ugly ass faces around.
That's one beautiful trailer...
And so flat yet so delicious :3
The Japanese sure have a keen eye for oppai.
Since this is the third game in the series, is it required to play the previous games first or can you just jump right into this one knowing nothing?
You can play the first one to get a hold of the world, and if you don't mind the bug/glitch or you can read Japanese, play the 2nd, so your expectation for the 3rd will be higher because of a certain loli :p.
Looks like a character from Ar Tonelico II is going to be there...and looks like that all the series are connected so I think you should play the first two, they are pretty good so play them.
shameless fanservice to trap otakus/pedophiles
I won't buy this out of principle, substance before fan service please. Not everyone is a shallow fan service humping otaku.
The presence of fan service does not necessarily mean the absence of substance. Excepting of course for the substance on her chest, Mmmm DFC.
The Ar Tonelico series has plenty of substance. But of course you wouldn't notice that, since you shut down your brain and switch to denial mode when you even hear or read the word fan service.
I think you are surfing the wrong place.
i alway thought storyline and gameplay is the main attraction for anime and jrpg but now it is more about pantsu XD
...but I don't see any pantsu in those pics...
Am 12 and what is this?
You've got to agree- that OST sounds pretty awesome.
One of the best things this series has going for it is it's OST alone! ^_^
omg i need to learn japanese
話せません？ホホホ
Delicious and flat... Clearly relevant to my interests.
Pettan Pettan Trurupettan.
BTW game needs this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfUe2eckPFQ
Bound to happen, on a similar note, where are the BDSM costumes :0
Yes, more J-RPG please !
color me interested
Most DFC game ever !
I'm not done yet with Ar Tonelico ll. Oh well I think I will be done with when the translated version comes out.
LoLiS FtW (= 3=) <3
oh nopan is well appreciated.
Looks awesome. Maybe it's awesome!
I don't measure awesomeness by cup size.
those who don't want to learn Japanese will have to wait until NIS America decide that it is time to license this title.
any way, any word on the CERO rating for this game? if it is less then "C", then the title won't be that interesting ;-)
although if it is "C" or above, there is a chance it might not get licensed by NIS, because of their tendency to always produce "Teen" rated games (sometime I wander if they believe that anime is for kids!).
I don't see why Artefact makes such a big deal about this. The Ar Tonelico series have always had perverted things, this isn't the first time.
yeah this is not really a big deal in Ar Tonelico series
what makes it a big deal for me is the fact that it's in 3d for the firs time so I'm curious how they're ganna play out the battle system, same for the next Atelier series game.
The game won't be nearly as sexual as you guys at SC are making it out to be. Don't set people up for disappointments. The girls will take off half their clothes for you in order to power up (probably at the expense of something else)--big whoop
Still can't wait, I want it so badly!!
Am I the only one here who's more concern about the gameplay?
I'm not, since I already saw this:
-Battle system reminicent of ToA/ToV, free movement on 3D field
-Cocona was narrating the event
-Dive system allows you to obtain Hymma, Hymma are used to synthesize hymnos during battles
-RAH system is rather dynamic...battle music changes quite a bit depending on Hymma combination, battle situation, etc
-Undressing is rather important...
See the last part? The gameplay is going to be fine.
At least they spent 10 months to complete the RAH system.
apparently its protecting the reyvetails is the essence of the game if turning it into the namco flex range battle system they wont last long in battles which is quite hard
Yes you are.
if it's even close to 1 and 2, it's fuckwin....especially the fights.
close to 1 and 2? Ar Tonelico 1 and 2 were some of the most piss poor gameplay ever. They were beyond easy. It was really totally fanservice with a story tacked on.
If this doesn't hit stateside, I'm so importing this.
On another note, the picture of the loli sounds like a carpenter's wet dream; flat as a board and easy to nail.
It's... it's beautiful...
I really need to play the first game.
First was good... second could have been more awesome that the first one if only NISA ironed out the bugs...
just the bugs... D:
...and you found nothing wrong with the dub? Ar Tonelico II probably belongs to top 10 worst dubs of all time. It's either over the top or unmotivated.
If they want Ar Tonelico III to sell, they have to at least hire better people to do the dub, though it is much preferred to have dual audio(or no dub at all).
The dub and the localisation is piss poor. As someone who did play the jpn version and can comprehend the dialogue, the NISA localisation cropped off information, had inconsistent editing and changed the tone of the text throughout the game. Add to that having about half the voices missing seriously reduces the impact of certain key scenes since there is no aural backup to the poorly edited text.
I won't say the dub is 'top 10' bad, but it was bad enough to do a disservice to the game as a whole. I honestly couldn't care less about bad dubbing so long as it isn't grating since there's usually an option to turn it off.
What I do mind most of all is the ability for the game to convey the original meaning and intentions without sounding awkward. If the localised text reverses the relationship between characters, that is a travesty especially if a key aspect of the game is about character interactions and relationships.
Ar Tonelico II isn't even close to the top 10 worst dubs ever :P
Star Ocean and Resident Evil were really bad, and Tales of Phantasia on the GBA had such bad dubbing, that I had to go to the doctors office :P
The worst dubs ever are german anime dubs from OVA films. Pure horror..
What? Ohh.. English dub, I'm sorry, I don't know such thing; but the translation they did on both I and II made weep T.T
There's even a fan-made translation for Ar Tonelico II going on now.
Yea cuz an amarican audiance really wants to listen to high pitched japanese voices, that are also over the top or unmotivated.
I hate it when people dont know what they are talking about when it comes to dubs. All the top 10 worst dubs will be in games (and anime)that were made 15 years ago.
Except for Chaos Wars. If you want to hear a terrible dub in a game made recently, play Chaos Wars. Its so bad its just bad.
I didnt notice any bugs. Either way Im very disapointed in this games choice to go 3d. The sprites in the first 2 were so beautiful. *sad face*
Oh I noticed, and thats what I was talking about. Not the anime drawings, the sprites. I hate that cheap 3d look. Its lazy and just a cheap copout. Give me my stpites back.
If you haven't noticed this, the battle and traveling scenes are in 3D.
Not the pictures used for conversations, those look to be drawings.
Hmm, this looks quite interesting..If only I could read Japanese...That would make things a lot simpler, lol. ^_~
Does it matter? Its like watching raw and understanding half of it with images...then use your IMAGINATION for the other half! =P
*and imagines other things...*
sorry but that's not good enough...enjoy trying to understand numerous walls of texts accompanied by a static non-moving picture like most of these low-budget games.
I'm going to get it D< when someone translates it o 3o
Woot goin have so much fun playing this.
Must get
After learning more Japanese, of course...or during
Time to learn how to read Japanese ;)
The trailer was nice. Looks interesting. I might wanna try out the previous games. Have to say at least the art looks nice.
DAYUMN that trailer looks good.
This, looks, AWESOME!!! O_O
Automatic buy from me on release date! Hell I'll even preorder! Glad I played the first two so I know what's going on. ^_^
Although haven't finished the second one... I'm working on it... >.> Just about at the end anyway. But then I have to run it a second time for Luca's ending...
You're SO missing stuff, If you didn't play Jacqli's route yet...
I'm working on it.... >_<
FUCK YEEEEAH AR TONELICO
please continue to update about the 3rd installment of this fantastic series ~ the music and visuals seem lovely as usual, especially with the new 3D graphics, leaving me very excited for the release of this one. and of course, the flat loli Reyvs are adorable.
YEEEEAH KEEP EM COMING
looks good lots of good pics
Anon 16:19 here
Also want to say, the last two installments of the Ar Tonelico series including this one have REALLY improved! The 2nd one cleaned up looks and offered a better battle system while it seems like the 3rd one will do everything in 3D and if the improvement on battle from the 1st to the 2nd is anything to use as reference, it's likely the battle system here will be vastly improved as well. ^_^
3D flat chest. Do want.
Well the trailer certainly looks good. I really hope this makes its way to the USA. It would be a guaranteed purchase from me.
Then it would be a guaranteed port from NIS.
and hoping they wont flop out i mean their name is already on the verge of being permanently tarnished due to localizing issues like how MK was bug MK2 was bugged AT2 was bugged and then theirs AR (atelier rorona) and the constant typos
Yep...Im sure now...that DFC is Cocona from Ar Tonelico II...man...I want this game.
That one in the video is not Cocona. I suspect she will be the 3rd reyvateil.
They have my attention.
