Is this game as refreshing as Ar Tonelico was? That game was simply win. I'll be satisfied as long as it's not a Aterlier Iris 3. It wasn't completely bad, but it wasn't great either.

Not that that really makes a big difference...I'll probably buy the game simply because of the composers, which I really loved ever since I played my first Gust game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll give it a shot then. AI3 may have been a lot worse then the previous AI games, but I still had fun playing it. It wasn't a total trainwreck.

You say it has many AI3 elements, which might those be? I hope it's not the limited time you can spent in each area, or the whole quest system that made you go back to the same areas constantly. That's 2 of the things I really didn't like from AI3.

Most amazing jew boots

Just finished it today, gotta say, loving Gust! With the exception of Atelier Iris 3, the games seem to get better. I enjoyed this game as much as Ar Tonelico, a feat I thought was impossible for them.

I was especially happy with the way the combat system was refined, support characters can step in to take hits, and later on they even get unique traits for doing these step-ins both the defend type and the assault type. Love these fast paced battle systems. Also the burst gauge and the finishing strike was a nice touch, though I would have prefered they would work with others as well, I really didn't want to keep Vayne in the support group. Hope the AT2 combat system is as refreshing as this.

Oh yes, and the music <3 god the music. Especially the battle music <3

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

Shop synthesis was my favorite part of Atelier Iris, so having the whole game essentially based around that was fantastic.

Everyone had their own finishing strike, at least by the end. It was the only way to see Anna's mana.

Sorry i ment Variable Strike not the finishing bursts.

How ya doing, buddy?
