[PS2] Ar Tonelico - The closest thing rpg nerds will ever get to a girlfriend

Agreed with yanxu, thats why I stayed with the Japanese voice!

Overall I think the game is quite average (quests very straight forward... does it even have sidequests?). However I will give a higher score due to the 'date-sim-like' scenerio

You nearly completed the game Crazy Redd?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Agree with Terminus regarding the favorite Cosmosphere XD

I am currently not far into phase 2 only, with Misha lv 8 and Aurica lv 7 cosmosphere. *sigh* when does Misha grow up >__< She got soo many cosplay costumes already but can't use them coz she is still too small...

I gotta say, the emphasis on "moe" is shown quite strongly here. I love the mature innuendos in the dialogues!

Oh how I love to get this game a CG and 3D make over...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cheers for the pointer Terminus! Cool, Misha just evolved as I am typing this out

I'v been looking forward to this game for a good while now, but whenever I see any reviews on it, people say that it's so easy that there is little to no enjoyment in the game at all really. Is this true?

Easy? Yup it is!
No enjoyment? HECK NO! I guess it just depends on what kinda elements you are looking for in a game. As for me I like character development and plot... which is why Ar Tonelico floats in my boat and I am loving how the game is progressing. If you are looking foward to more tatical battle system or more action plot or even cool CG-isque games. Then I guess it might be a bit boring to some.

At least the fun part of this game is to see the multiple endings XD

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have no saving problem on my PS2 but PS3 plenty of save bugs.

As for the lagginess, yes I do have them... there are always a slight pause when entering battles and other related events! Just bear through them and you will get used to it!

How ya doing, buddy?

I completed all 3 third phase endings, still missing Misha's second phase ending.
I love the dialogues in the game *sigh* no one is doing the game script for this awesome game -____-""

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh I do wish that if they ever make the sequel to this brilliant game, then they should put 'fixing bugs' as their first priority >_<

Looking forward to ArT2 release ^ ^

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks for the scan upload. I got quite a bit of info out of it ^_^

Seriously, as most of you already stated. This main character looks too feminine for my taste. I don't want to see this game turn into a yuri game!

From Croa's history profile. It said he lost his parent at young age and had been bought up by Ruka's parents... this kinda reminds me of the similar character setting as the first game between Lyner and Misha -____-"

EDIT: Taco you are right! They will be introducing to us the Dual Revytail Combo. It mentioned that you can summon two Revs onto the battle to sing for you. Their song powers can combine to create something different (I guess its a bit like Item Alchemy).

FELIPE NO

I find something interesting in the magazine scan... in this picture does that mean the enemies can now target your summons as well?


Also while you are synthesizing item the two girls can linger and do something useful too. (e.g. in the picture, Ruka created some food O__O)


Heres a pic where two Revs in action

Regarding Croa's manliness . . . well he's still giving off more of a manly vibe than Lyner did. He actually reminds me of Dias Flac from Star Ocean 2. The only difference is that Dias didn't wear such frilly clothing.

Haha, I had the same feeling too... it has that farmiliar design that reminds me of Dias

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wow love the music on the main page of AT2

@ Cetra: You are right, I think thats the evolve form of installing Crystals into the Revys. Instead of inserting into them, now you soak with them *hehe* Not only that, taking bath can also trigger events to make your Revs stronger through conversation (learn new spells?)

@ WinterS: I think Cetra's 'increase parameter' means better stats e.g. from installing crystals in AT

One thing I didn't get is the "Replekia" function. It didn't clarify what it used for, beside preventing Revy from I.P.D. Virus. by borrowing combined forces from 100 Revytails. *confused*

Jam it back in, in the dark.
