Well i'm fine with it like that. Embarrassing yes but I'm ok with it if it's important to the plot.

Oh right. Might point out that the Kickstarter is to bring over both the 18+ version and en "all-ages" version that removes the actual sex scenes. It's still a mature novel though, so it's apparently made clear what happened, it's just the actual sex that is not shown.

You know the combat in AT2 is better than I remember, it's got the weird Synchro thing that I don't really understand but seems cool. The whole anime cutscenes for Repleika and so on is pretty great.

 

On the other hand I flat out

didn't remember that Cloche and Luca were sisters so I was like whoa what the!? Twist! Except it wasn't a twist... yeah... it's been awhile... there is something like really off about this game but also some really amazing things at the same time.

I think it just keeps coming back to dungeon design, they aren't just overwhelmingly annoying from a gameplay perspective, they are unrepentantly bland and holy incredibly ugly. Some of the towns are screwy as all get out also. Still not really a fan of the VN stuff either not being a major fan of VNs.

Everything else is fun enough not to really care about that though, so that's good.

I've been playing a Tales at the same time, and it's really impressive in many ways but they start to feel like standardized "JRPG characters to me," somewhat. AT feels more like the bleeding edge of crazy... the jokes are actually really funny a lot of the time which is nice.

Hey you should spoiler tag that stuff. [spoiler] [spoiler] Just put a / in front of the last one.

[Seraphim24]

Ok Mr. honor student. All these fancy high tech web gadgets, why in my day you had to print all caps SPOILERS with red ink in order to get people's attentions. You whippersnappers with your special BBCcodes and-

 

Ok I'll stop now.

[Liamv2]

Heh it's fine i'm not mad or anything. I just despise spoilers after having every persona game and every bioshock spoiled for me.

[Seraphim24]

Well if your brain is like mine maybe you'll forget the entire plot one day and voila! Just like the first time.

 

Seriously though, AT2's plot is like enough for 4 novels, there's so much stuff crammed in that game. I never even understood why the world is destroyed and above in the first place, or where Jacqli comes from, or a dozen other things, but I guess that's because I haven't played AT1.

[Liamv2]

Yeah a lot of stuff is in AT1 but a lot of things about the world are in the ingame glossary it was translated by a monkey though so just read the wiki instead

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re; Birth 1 has taught me the dangers of interrupting pudding time. Something I'll never ever do no matter what. Pudding time is sacred!

[Liamv2]

Pudding time is the most important time of the hour.

Really enjoying my time with Neptunia! This game is really up my alley and I can absolutely appreciate the way it make me regret thinking "heal or no heal" and a few seconds later scramble to not end up dead. Grinding for lvls isn't that bad either when I get the chance to listen to some rather awesome soundtracks. It's also so easy to pick up and grind for 20 min when I find extra time on my hands. That's really something that's useful at the moment for me when time is unusually short on hand

I'm quite enjoying it too, but the grinding's actually putting me off picking it up quite as much. Taking 30 minutes out to just  be to deal with Noire was a bit of a pain. It keeps the combat challenging though so there's a plus. 

 

On the other hand, its made me return to Katawa Shoujo to try another route, Hanako's this time and... well, it goes about how you'd expect.

Still, that game's nothing if not providing in self insight. Turns out I really like jazz if I give it half a moment.

Did you make the Easy Mode item?

 

I did that and didn't know what grinding meant.

[Seraphim24]

Hey does anyone know which song is this one on AT2, I'm too lazy right now to actually find it. It plays on Jacqli's cosmosphere level 6.

 

 

man, that series is great and the psp ports of 1and 2 are excellent.   that game is pretty good.  finally.

 

I only played the PS version of 2, but yes I agree generally about SO. SO4 kept a lot of that spirit which is nice, I think it's the last one they're making though. Myuria is probably my favorite character...

[Gravisanimi]

Well, I know it isn't EXEC_NULLASCENSION/.

 

I'll look into it.

 

Or at least I will until Liam gets here and knows. exactly what song it is, given he's my superior when it comes to Ar Tonelico

My ANSUL that is catchy

Yeah, but probably too late on. I don't like just lowering the 'difficulty' on stuff so I didn't use it at first.

[Dominus]

I've played the majority of Valdis and would reccomend it. If you took the level structure of Metroidvania, the Atmosphere/Soundtrack from Secret of Mana, the gameplay of, eh... Zero from Megaman X4, and threw them into a blender, you'd get something like Valdis.

[Seraphim24]

Just remembered this indie game I played a while ago that I liked quite a bit. Probably not the best fit for this thread, but whatever.
 

 
It's not from Japan, but it has this vaguely anime-ish art style (or like, something weird halfway between anime and western animation) and OST. Also the Metroidvania style gameplay traditionally comes from Japanese titles. Though it has significant RPG elements as well. I liked it.

Well it looks sort of interesting, maybe I'll try it at some point. I'm glad that being anime like in this instance doesn't automatically mean furry.

 

At least that's my experience with other anime-esque means from western game companies. It's like it's our Japanese inspired title! Everything is an animal. I can't remember the exact game that did that but I was like ewww.

 

I'm not entirely sure Japan inspires that kind of thing... ahem... yeah.
