Am I the only one who cares more about the plot than the fanservice? The last two games in the series had highly entertaining characters and well adapted plot. I really hope NIS brings it stateside but with the way of the current system I find it doubtful now. Anything that even has a semblance of children partially naked, under clothed, or even in a game with sex, nudity, partial nudity (it's almost like the ESRB does not even realize that kids begin to have sex at a much earlier age this is kind of ridiculous that people are trying to protect kids from something they themselves learned at the same age...makes sense) real, game, novel, picture, 2D, 3D, it does not matter but even talking about it could get someone carted off to jai-oh shit Chris Hansen!
~bang~
God damn it, stop just talking about the releasing system. What about the ~10 different singers who will sing in this game? That's certainly more worthy news than "OMG YOU CAN MAKE THE GIRLS STRIP THIS GAME IS AWESOME."
What the hell??
Reminds me of the saying of Radits of DBZabridged..
"So, Nudity makes you stronger on this planet ,eh?"
Well, you know: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Stripperiffic
That hidden cutey in Harlequinn costume caught my interest the most :3
And wow, spats fetish~!!!
The tacky nature of this game makes me not want to buy it. When a company has to use suck tacky fanservice to sell copies then I think they're desperate.
Guess not everyone thinks with their dick
Damn it Banpresto, although it is very convincing, stop doing that. Start working on actual system gameplay and story instead of teasing us the players...
Ah! We might be arrested for having loli...just like in other peoples unfortunate situations!
Finally, somebody get it. Clothes were meant to be removed!
Looks like Ar Tonelico 3'd makers will get Nobel Prizes
Well then, now that we can see the names of the girls' alternate forms, we can see that none of them are Cocona-related.. unless... *looks hopefully at the one still marked ???*
This I like... And now I know what I'll be getting for Christmas.
Hmm. I don't think anyone should have a problem with optional stripping of its characters, but I think it's a little overboard to make your characters stronger through this method. It may turn off some people, and when those same people meet up with a friend, they'll be asked "So why aren't the girls in their underwear yet?"
Playing this will benefit me in 3 ways or more
-A Hard On
-Rpg Goodness
-Special Effects Display Awesomeness
Now all we do is wait...
In the west we call it flat chested women. In Japan they call it your everyday experience (girl/woman).
I'm guessing a lot of people are gonna level grind when they obtain the game :3
First thing that came to mind was DBZ. Do the girls wear weighted clothing or something that makes them weaker?
So does this game have any actual gameplay, or is it just watered down hentai?
This is of interest to me.
i thougth the first 2 were already way too much suggestive, i hope that dont stop nis america to localize the game, because putting the echii aside the games are really good with a very interesting figthing system.
You do know that NISA actually ADDED lots innuendo in the first two games? They'll love the stripping in this.
I cant wait for this game, tho not for the ero elements, i just love the Ar Tonelico Series.
What is the story justification for this?
>story justification
I think you're looking in the wrong game
I was asking this question at first, but I must say, right now I'm not sure I care. Naked Revytails = win; though I do hope there's an option to keep them fully clothed while still having the same power, I may wish to play this when people could walk in...
and there was much embarrassment...
Where is the god damn FORTH PHASE?
I guess this means no English translation, I'ma have to practice my Japanese and Hymmnos for this.
I hope there is no male characters then. Or do they strip too?
hopefully the stripping action only aply to Reyvateils >_>
It is probably Reyvatel only. And Reyvatel = girls only.
best rpg battle system ever final who?
Best level up system ever.
I don't think anyone would have a problem grinding in this game.
I'd grind the lolis all day long... ^_^
Hoho! So their clothes are limiters, EH?
NUDE MOD..i mean BANKAI MODE!
I dunno... What about the one where you raise levels and stats by taking the girls to a bath, complete bath toys and oils?
Amen to that!
i see what u did thar
hah, imagine people will play and grind until the maximum level, hoping to see some nude flat chests....
Gotta say, if I wasn't a wuss, I would now buy the game just for the stripping. That's a cool and erotic idea.
Maybe I'll take Japanese 101 more seriously when I take it! X3
101 isn't going to get you very far to be honest.
Try the DS game my japanese coach, and really learn it.
Wait wait...so it seriously helps (Seriously now)?
looks nice ^+^
Now is the time to brush up or learn the language before then...
Can I just say... booya?
(b^_^)b
Nice Jim Cramer reference. d(^_^)b
This is great! Another reason to get a PS3 (sans-PS2 playback) (^o^)b
100% agree: Japanese games are great reasons to learn the language.
is much better learn japanese than english -__-
then why are you here? go post in 2CH instead plz
In the meanwhile I will hope NISA will pick it up like they did the last two.
There's "fluent", and then there's "fluent".
I've a friend who's been studying Japanese for some years, has guided and translated for groups of Americans in Japan, and groups of Japanese in America, has Japanese associates and friends in a variety of social strata, and so has been exposed various forms of the language, etc.
Yet, when she was reading a sports manga in which the majority of characters were males in high school, she told me it was very slow going for her, "because I have to look up words so often. The vocabulary of high-school boys is so different from what I'm used to."
There may be a generational gap language issue there -- she's in her late thirties; most of her Japanese friends and associates are her age or significantly older.
Have you ever tried looking up a Japanese word and _not_ found it in your dictionary?
(I'm just trying to learn enough so I can watch raw anime and play computer games.)
It doesn't seem that this game would require deep language skills.
It's not like you'll need to strip those girls in real life, in which case some minimal knowledge of what they're talking about would be recommended.
I'm also a Japanese student and I have to agree on the 18 month part, maybe even less if you could put more time in it. If you learn for about 2 hours a day and try to immerse yourself with japanese music and anime and such for about 5 days a week, you'll learn it in just a little over a year. You won't be fluent but you'll just hit conversational level. This is more than enough for most japanese games and anime, although you still have to look stuff up from time to time.
Not being able to find the translation of a word won't really happen in today's world of the internetzz. Just type it in Kana and throw it through "Translation Aggregator" and you'll find your answer.
@1447
Truth.
time and dedication,
you can learn japanese in around 18 months. a language with latin letters in under a year. without a job or other things to worry :/
keep dreaming good old weeaboos... takes insane dedication and TIME to learn a language, especially one like japanese, lol at "brush up" the language in a matter of months
The language is easy to learn, and the pronunciation is easy for spanishfag, hiragana and katakana are easy too, the only problem is learning to read kanji.
I know there's a very effective way to learn a language. Just throw yourself into the country which speaks that language. In a few months' time, you will be a master at it.
learned to speak Japanese in about a year (not perfectly) took another year to learn to read it. Not interested in games though but I read manga and short novels and watch anime without subtitles, and video chat with Japanese girls all in Japanese.
Just throw yourself into the country which speaks that language. In a few months' time, you will be a master at it.
That's why my dad, after spending 17 years in the german region of switzerland, can't speak german, nor his own language, to save his life.
I picked up a bit of basic japanese in no time at all (this includes basic sentence structure, some vocab, hiragana and katakana, and some kanji. took about a 2 months). And that's while attending classes, and working full time. I think if you have the time, you can lean at least to an intermediate level in a year. Not saying it's easy, just depends on how driven you are.
well... i guess some of u have a point, i've been learning japanese for the past 4.5 years so far, im pretty dang good yes, but if i studied like say, every 2 days seriously, i'd be fluent by now...
still it's not a language to underestimate.. at all
If u understand chinese, u have a good chance of picking up Jap faster =)
I think you guys are making the language out to be a monster. It's really not that hard of a language. If you have 0 responsibilities you can prob learn the language in nine months. And you could "brush up" in a couple months, it's not totally easy; it still takes enormous time and dedication; it's just not a monster.
Especially reading Japanese if you know how to read Chinese. It's like half the work is already done for you!
It's only takes about 2-3 years to become fluent if you have a sort of drive. *Mine was anime/manga/visual novel/video games* And this was only during school time, it's not like it "takes insane dedication and TIME to learn a language, especially one like Japanese." Half the time I sleep in class too. The only thing that makes learning Japanese difficult is the Kanji.
How is this a current revelation though? It's been known for months. I remember reading an article which talked about the director of the game (Might've been someone else) getting a standing ovation when he announced the only way the world could be saved was by these girls taking their clothes off. Made my day when I first read it.
And you made my day by telling me that, it's the first I've heard of it.
As you level up, the less clothes you're gonna wear ?
Total reverse to ordinary RPG where they'll wear more clothings (armor & etc...)
I wouldn't say no to this, hell yeah I'm buying this game !
There's an eroge where your female companion grows up as she becomes more powerful, a kick in the sac for loli fans =(
This however everyone can get on board with.
Princess Maker isn't an eroge.
She also doesn't get old by getting powerful (if this is princess maker we're talking about). Rather, she gets old by time going by...
Eww, powerful women = old!
Sounds like a good reason to buy PS3 after all :}
Jester girl = looks like Yuri from ToVesperia
*pant pant*
"I didn't want to have to use this, but I guess I have no choice.."
*takes off clothes*
:O MASAKA!
... *takes off clothes*
Villain: "MASAKA! TRAP DESU!!!!
TRAAAP!!"
*runs away*
That girl with the jester's outfit actually looks really cool. I think I'd rather have her wear that than to just be naked.
OH GOD NO FLOOD OF DOWNVOTES INC
While I do think females look more alluring with a few articles of clothing strategically worn, the full costume is a bit offputting.
Dang this just all but killed my hopes of it being released in NA now. Doubt they will bring this over now with this feature :(
Why do red type reyvatails always have bigger boobs than blue type? Oh well, I'll probably play through it eight times for all the girls anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Also, I'm not sure if I understand, but is the stripping a direct result of the cosmosphere or is it separate, but also increases power (like the more clothes the harder the difficulty setting)? Or has that not been stated?
learning a language is more about the individual than anything else.
This is much correct!
There's a saying 'The less it covers the higher the armor rating'. In this case it applies to power levels too.
Okay... no real offense, but really this whole direction is getting well past the ridiculousness of DOA Extreme and is just getting to pointlessly silly if not down right creepy in some instances. And I'm saying this as a guy who loves Ero and such.
I really wish I could say that they are not using this to sell the game and that it's all about the quality of the game underneath, but this series is turning into FF X-2 with a lolicon filter all over it.
and thats great!!!
Not really, it just shows how far JRPG's are falling. They used to be about plot, now it's all moe blob, loli moe blob. First anime, then vidya. Seriously they need to knock this crap off.
Britfag here, I second this opinion. I play JRPGs all the time, not just localized ones (Japanese fluent) and I can say that he is correct about the stupid moe and loli blob slapping over them, instead of focusing on the gameplay/battle system and plot.
You misunderstood. I was not saying his assessment on the nature of today's JRPGs was incorrect, I was merely stating that his opinion is utterly worthless and that he is in no position to tell Japan what they need and don't need to knock off.
If I want sophisticated gameplay and don't care about pretty girls, I play Risen or X3 (Germanfag here). JRPGs are just fine as they are.
Because you and most other Amerifags think so?
Fanservice has it's place and eroge are all very well, but are they honestly expecting us to take this game seriously as a real RPG any more? The amount of effort they're putting into service is making me SERIOUSLY worried that they're not actually bothering with the game.
You haven't played an Ar Tonelico game before, have you?
Never knew a windshield could be sooooo sexy~.
Was i ga k.r. ar tonelico dri mea den was paks erra dople porter revatail. Was touwaka ga chs English ar tonelico dri.
Fou guwo wa na irs font Hymmnos
Surely Ar Tonelico Dri should be capitolised as it is a title, either way, too lazy to translate from Hymmnos, but I guess it's impressive if not slightly sad you can make a post entirely in it. Shame it doesn't have the font.
I'm not too happy about this. Playing this in front of your family seems too dangerous. Also, what I really want is a good RPG, not just fan service. Hopefully the gameplay doesn't disappoint me.
Your poverty is disgusting.
Who plays games in front of their family?
Weirdo.
Given a choice, I wouldn't. But annoying siblings and parents, they exist. Barging into your room while you're playing, etc?

Aww, well atleast you have an excuse to still be a virgin.
