Kishida Mel as a hidden midboss? Sold.
i reckon he wasn't the only one that couldn't contain his... joy.
Seeing the nude bathing made him start doing his Mating Dance...
I wouldn't be able to contain my joy if I have a flamberge and a longsword.
Because a flamberge tends to be a two-handed weapon, which tend to be longer than one handed weapons.
The Long sword is simply a blade with a longer surface area than might be customary. Contrast it with a short sword or a broad sword.
Why on earth is the flamberge longer than the longsword (even the blade alone) if the longsword is called... LONG-Sword?
Because its blade was longer than the short swords..d'uh!
That boss deserves to be unlocked ^_^
I would buy it the instant it is released.
To bad I live in ... Sweden...
I'll probably move to some other country so I can buy it...
How about Australia?
:D
Awesome, a game made with that much enthusiasm its nice to buy.
Kishida Mel and Shoko-tan really know how to celebrate, don't they...
/celebrate just got a new meaning
Shoko-tan's reaction of getting her 3DS Zelda OoT and this marked the beginning of this golden era..
a country cannot have enough eroge
This isn't an eroge, retard.
You clearly didn't get it.
.....I could get arrested for this
.. the game is worthy just because of the face..
The previous game came to us so... why won't this one? Too cute for us??
Totori is on the way, it's just that apparently the people bringing these over take more time to localize them and get the rights than it does for the damn creators to make a WHOLE OTHER GAME!!
I don't want to call them inept since I don't know what's involved in the process that much, but SERIOUSLY!?!?!
Which is why it's great when a game console is region free and you can just import the game if you know the language.
Touche, native one -_-
It actually takes them a similar amount of time. Rorona was also the same.
Also, the Atelier games are incredibly text-heavy, so, unless you want a shoddy translation, then yes, it takes that much time. Seriously.
Coming from someone who translated a visual novel, which is comparable.
yeah, it takes NIS America around 6 months to translate these games....and another month to butcher them with "localization"
If you don't like localization , stop speaking english please.
Without it, it would be literal and incoherent mess with jokes that make 0 sense to anyone who is a native English Speaker
I think most of it is the licensing honestly, because while it's very word-heavy... it's also not very word heavy by comparison to others that have come out faster. I'm all for them taking their time and doing it right, though. It's just a bit frustrating. I wonder how many translators they have on it as well. I know fewer is better due to consistency, but also there's someone to check the dialogue as well. Oh well, I guess it's all double the time it'd be normally anyway to match the feel they seek. Apparently these days they work much more closely with the Japanese side to make sure it's translated correctly. At least sometimes.
And what was the translation issue with AT2? I remember mention of it, but it's been a while.
Actually, that wouldn't be so erroneous, albeit the liscencing should take away some time, as well.
By the way, how does exactly NISA butcher any games with their "localization"? Leaving aside the much-mentioned AT2 example that everyone seems to focus on. Rorona's localization was pretty good, for example, and so was Neptunia's. And AT3's. And hell, about almost every localization they've done since then.
Just saying.
THAT'S Kishida Mel??? OMFG, he's the boss of Woodfall Temple!!!
I have a boner now, mostly because of the lolis :3
Too bad this'll never be released in the west.
Or it will, but just be the shitty, "please the soccer moms" version.
But the content itself won't be edited. The localization company is too poor for that.
At worst, just the cover, Anonymous.
I would like to please the "Soccer Moms" myself
What I miss. I thought the americans changed the age of our loli from 13 to 16?
I'm outdated.
You are from the Netherlands?
Sounds like something I would say though.
I highly doubt it. No way someone from anywhere but America will call football *soccer*.
Japanese people do it, too. Japan and America, the only two countries that matter, have dubbed it soccer. So it's soccer, prole! >=D
Even lolification doesn't look like a good idea when you have this.
Something for error isn't?
EVERTHING!!!
Just picked up my copy. Yeah, great game. That's what makes it worth having 2 PS3, and buying games once in awhile
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHXveqH8JZ4
Is she playing the game on a computer?
But I thought the game is on ps3?
The comparison between that guy and Esturk nearly put me on the floor! XD
Wow I thought the artist was a woman because of the art style, boy was I wrong.
Kishida Mel dual wielding.
Damn, alchemy is indeed the source of youth if a 50 year old woman can look like that.
Ah, they've just gotta continue the same old censorship double standard where they outright show male nudity (though showed the dude's ass in case you were too braindead to realize), while completely covering up ALL of the female nudity.. this epi/pandemic will never be remedied.
I don't get it. Why is Rorona classified as 30 years old?
This game is set 6 years after Atelier Totori so technically, Rorona should be 28 years old at the start of Atelier Meruru(She was 14 at the Atelier Rorona and 22 at the Atelier Totori).
pic 07, is the black haired person a guy?
Number 20 is pure genius
Lol he on crack it's so hilarious.
I like the art for this game.
is this the same artist that did hanasaku no iroha?
Yup that's him, alright.
Never knew he had a thing for weird dancing rituals. lol
