seem like i shamed myself, "commit seppuku" arghhh!
Whoahh, I smel threesome, haha, good for me though.
"Hopefully the actual game has some merit aside from its erotic component"
Not necessary, This is the age of MOE and PR0nZ. A game/anime/manga need only conform to sufficient quantities and quality of these things in order to succeed. Although, such can be said about many things in life. Such as the the office workplace.
You HOPE the game has actual merit? Well the way you pimp the erotic side of the game rather than the actual story and history of the series, it's pretty obvious the writer has never played an Ar tonelico game...
But in the end, I guess pimping the erotic component of things is Sankaku Complex's job.
In any case, I suggest people who have not played the first two games, go do so. This is not an eroge series, no matter how much the writer of these articles makes it appear so.
There's only one author idiot, and that is the admin. Why are you even on SanCom if u don't like it?
There are several authors, idiot.
I'm well aware of the pedigree of the Ar Tonelico series, but I am also well aware that such things make for boring articles and ineffective presentation. Why do you think the makers even put this stuff in?
i so hope they release a hymnos album for ar tonelico 3 like they did with 1 and 2
i wanna play!!!
oh ! it's Great!!
Please, no censors, Sony. If you do censor, just die with your blu ray kingdom.
This is one of my reasons why I loved Gust. And if NisAmerica intending to translate, I hope they don't do the english voices. They give nightmares.
If Gust do this on their Atelier games too... Atelier games' fanservice isn't as much as Ar Tonelico.
what i really love about ar tonelico is the music...is so fucking epic
957TUOI
Someone must of been really bored with this game to notice that.
Opening song made me cum..
Wonder how did this one make it through the Sony check... oh, and Aksys will release Agarest Senki on the States for both PS3 and Xbox 360.
Anime scenes look good, actual game looks awful (ps2 graphics)
You should have seen Atelier Rorona and X Edge, now that is Ps2 graphics. It is really uncommon, but it is a game, furthermore, it is a RPG, a RPG should be concentrated on gameplay and plots, not purely on fanservices. Tales games are good examples, great game with great plots, there are enjoyable fanservices but still despite that a great game. Nowaday Japanese RPGs aren't anymore creative, they concentrate on mostly otakus, whose amounts are dominating, that's sad, very sad.
The genre is as stagnant as it could be. The last one with anything new was Valkyria Chronicles and look at that - sequel condemned to the PSP.
I don't know, it looks like a lame game, even more lamer then the 1st games on PS2. Despite my love for Banpresto and its games, this company needs to finally grow up, common, not all gamers are otakus.
Not all games are made for everyone. This ain't Mario...
this is not a game for some graphic whore or shooter kid dude!
why shouldn't they made game for otaku, we are getting very few "otaku" oriented game, this generation filled more shooter and really few niche jrpg in PS3
Are you for fucking real? Most of the trash that comes out of Japan is otaku oriented! Sure, I do love the first two AT games, but but I won't deny they're kind of run of the mill moe wise. What makes these games somewhat different is the enormous sexual innuendo in them and that they seem to want to raise the bar.
Most of the current visual entertainment coming from Japan is a filthy rehash of moe this, moe that. I'm getting tired of it already.
Still no Cocona in any PV or Screen? :(
I thought for sure she'd be of importance for this game.
I guess she might get a Mir, or maybe even Spica roll then?
I'd say she's hidden. Just like how Americans "silhouetted" Jakuri in the US PV.
If there is a better or cheaper alternative I'd like to know where.
playasia don't shit psp/psp products to europe so fuck them
ncsx, yesasia ftw
^
Second that. PlayAsia usually comes out cheaper for me(in US). Pretty fast and reliable shipping too.
Well, I love PlayAsia, they usually don't charge the shipping service on CDs and Videogames. The last time I purchased a figure, I didn't even have to pay the shipment :3 (Or maybe that was just because it was on Weekly Special Offer).
For european gamers i recommend axelmusic.com the use the supercheap US pricing and only charge the bare minimum for shipping. (2 euro to the Netherlands)
Shipping time is about 6 days.
YES! Thank you!
Man why wasn't Ar Tonelico II anything like this D:
At least be happy AT2 has a loli route! But 1 boring phase.
Nothing can salvage that game(non-JP versions) from bad dubbing, bad localization script, typos, and bugs. Well at least PS3 is region free...
In Japanese, they are quite good, really.
@anon 18:06
As far as I know the PS3 has always been region free.
Since always ??
No way! Since when the PS3 is region free!?
Eh, Misha doesn't count as one..?
chrouya is refering to Jacqli who is also known as mir from AR1...sorry for the spoiler :S
There was no invention during its period. Now, the 'trend' of society support this invention.
Does the lady with the fat tits get bare? Is the fighting/gameplay any good?
The healthy blonde resembles Claire (Crea) in Ar Tonelico 1...
Those are hard to answer questions before the game comes out
Maybe somebody has followed this series up to this point?
The supposedly erotic ad is too much for bandai to release(i guess this ad suffered censorships)
Btw, the action part falls behind from the main gameplay(cloth changer) Ooooohhhh... wat does this button do?
the Ar Tonelico line have always been rather suggestive in there content especially so the lvl 6 cosmospheres in Ar Tonelico 1 where the main girls basicaly rape you. And the whole grathnode install thing was one big sexual innuendo, and diving same again on a smaller scale. Any way, DO WANT AR TONELICO 3 CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!
You should just call AT an SIRPVN. Sexual Innuendo Role Playing Visual Novel...or something like that.
Wow this is getting pretty interesting...if survives Sony censors...I hope it survives an uncensored english release.
Blue panties, my favourite :3
When a game has to resort to using tacky fan service of this nature, you know it sucks
just watch the gametrailers review for 1 and II i'd be suprised if you dident puke of the low quality gameplay and tacky fanservice
Well I played and finished the 1st game and thought it was total shit
Personal opinion ftw, eh?
Dun worry, it's still not that late for you to go back to your HD realm of Final Fantasy and beloved FPS games.
You call it a "cheap scheme", I call it a "Perfect Package".
