Contains torrents for the games along with the emulator installer and bios. Now updated with the latest PCsx2 SVN beta client, plugins are automatically included. Thanks to Anonymous for this.

Thanks to Yuyucow and Anonymous in previous threads for digging up the links. Foobar can play the .tta files but if you feel like converting them to .FLAC or whatever for your MP3 player/Media player of choice then Foobar also provides an easy convert tool. Takes about a minute to convert the albums over to FLAC.

They are Galges. Great Galges, but still, so you know what to expect.

Roughly 50%-60% is pure VN format.
The rest is made out of gameplay, that although relatively interesting, and ties in with what you read, it's still rather easy and made to not be a pushover so that you can continue reading unless you are doing something outright wrong.

The characters are great.
The story is arguably not as strong, but it's directly tied to the characters, which is great, and the setting itself is interesting and detailed.

Besides the ones you can use to synth special moves, the others can be given to the personae as gifts so they level up higher temporarily. Ask them to take off their clothes, program higher level Hyumas. This is all in Song Synth by the way.

>> No.7669943

>>7669855
Yeah, they usually get along fine enough to take their clothes off on their own. More of an optional thing when you're changing personae and need a high level Hyuma to go with it.

I still don't know how the songs work, but it goes that the hyuma helps with the vocalization of the one they have assigned when the situation is as they like. Some sing when you're in the best condition, others when you're in a pinch. When you purge with the selected hyuma, the combat hymn changes to that one.

Or that's what I've figured out so far, honestly it all feels voodoo to me. Except for one thing that I noticed. If you want the Purge video to play, just do the purge when you're hitting an upbeat.

So everyone on /jp/ likes Finnel the most of the AT3 heroines but I am in the middle of Phase one right now and she appears to be a slut.

DLC is DownLoadable Content. It's typically additions and extensions to the game that are not central or critical to the story or gameplay but optionally add to it for players who are interested. You can think about it like Micro expansions. Take the Elemia Island DLC: It isn't central to the story, nor particularly important, but it adds a lot if you're interested in it. As for how to get it working, that varies from game to game and I actually haven't added it to AT3 yet.

>>7681756
There are 3 heart points in the game. For endings, see this:

Downloadable content. Extra content available for a game that usually costs money.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downloadable_content

>>7681756

You'll get 3 choices during phase 2 that lets you choose. 3 hearts in one character will lock you into that route. 2 hearts in one character and 1 heart in another won't lock you into any specific route and you'll have to accept their confessions deeper into their cosmosphere/binary field. If you accept no confession you'll get the Cocona end just like AT2.

>>7680759

The endings aren't related to heart points, as far as I'm aware, they just give you an extra scene but that's it.

Bad end - Don't defeat M.Y.U. in time during the 'Battle of Destiny' and stop Saki singing.
Normal ending - Let Saki continue singing. M.Y.U. fight result doesn't matter here, I believe.
True ending - Defeat M.Y.U. in time and stop Saki singing.

I'm sorry, but has Luca even engaged in sexual intercourse? Oh, that’s right. She hasn't even made contact with a man outside of dive therapy. In fact, it’s only therapy involving fields for soothing. Does not having a cliche tsundere personality make you a slut? Is that what you’re saying? Because if you’re saying that I can assure you that you’re wrong. Why would you make this topic when the game is already finished and we know for certain she is pure? Luca is a holy maiden now and she was been the purest maiden in Metafalss? Luca has to go up against one of the sluttiest reyvateils in Ar Ciel who just happened to have a lead because she was praying on Croix's innocence. But you know what? Cloche is still a whore. Luca is the best heroine in all three games, she has the best songs. Luca has already won Croix over, she would have done it sooner if it wasn't for her tragedy with her sister throwing her for a mental loop. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when Luca is proven a better waifu than any other in AT2. Cloche tries to latch on to anyone who would have shown her a different and free life. Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I’m fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you’re the only guy making all these anti-Luca topics because you’re a faggot hater who doesn’t like a heroine because they’re canonically pure.

Depends. The extras you got with AT3 were slightly different but the game itself is identical as far as I know. The EU artbook is about half the size and is softback compared to the hardback NA version.

It MIGHT make you feel guilty not choosing Saki due to implications/statements they make about her near the end of her Cosmosphere, but I think she'll somehow get away from her "duty" scot-free regardless.

Croix had a major lack of personality, that wouldn't normally be a problem if the heroines were good but the only thing worse than Cloche is Luca. Cloche only gets some love here because she only has to compare to Luca as initial heroine.

Not directly, no. You can imply that things end badly for the heroines you don't pick, but there's no YMK-style "OH HEY LOOK SHE TRIED TO KILL HERSELF YOU MONSTER" guilt tripping.

Honestly you don't really need to grind in this game. As long as you fight as you go along you should be at a good level no matter what. Not to mention you can easily overkill almost any boss if you let the Reyvateil's last purge form to build up a super high Burst and then unleash the Flipsphere on a high red bar.

>> No.7692620

CS progression and to a lesser extent crafting supermoves is much more important to your ability to kill things than pure level grinding. If you can flipsphere and do everyone's ultimate supermove then you can kill pretty much anything as long as you're not doing something stupid like running away from every battle.

>> No.7692621

>>7692507
All you need to do is make sure to equip Healing Amount Up and activate it asap, then purge to level 4 and let the burst bar charge to 250,000% before pulling the Flipsphere. Spam healing items as required.

That's the worst review you could've read about it. Seriously.

At least read Gamespot's one to actually keep in mind the flaws of the game.

Eh, I wouldn't listen to IGN, some of their reviewers hate JRPGs/anime-style games. The one that reviewed Rorona was probably one of them.

Opinions of Rorona tend to range from decent to good. The characters are pretty likable, their interaction is good, and I liked the english VA (Rorona sounds adorable). And unlike most JRPGs, you're not saving the world, you're just trying to save your workshop from being foreclosed. Although I think the other mainline Ateliers are similar (only Iris and Mana Khemia are the traditional "save the world" types), but other than Annie, those aren't translated.

Most people criticize the time management, which can be kind of strict especially if you're trying to go for the best and true ending.

>> No.7694479

It started at $500-$600, remember.

And yeah, it's a big investment if AT3 is all you care about, but I can't imagine that you'd have absolutely no interest in anything else on the platform now or coming up in the future, especially if you don't have a 360.

Keep in mind that a lot of the better JRPGs for the PS2 came out very late in the system's life.

Rorona is decent. Totori will be released in a few months and it improves a lot on Rorona. Disgaea 3 is good and 4 will be out soon. Tales of Graces f and Tales of Xillia will be released eventually. There's JRPGs like Neptunia, Agarest, Trinity Universe etc. available too if those appeal to you. Then there's the usual games like Valkyria Chronicles, Demons souls and such along with stuff like Ico/SotC remakes and The Last Guardian coming out. I'd say it's worth keeping, personally.

Because I just took 30 minutes at Vesperia, noticed Nakahara Mai, and raged so hard because if I'm remembering correctly, no other Tales localization at PSX/PS2 had original voice option with them.

As for Rorona, I'm now halfway through, and I'm still not sure whether or not I'm doing the right thing. It's just unclear what the game is trying to make you do, in my opinion. But yeah, Rorona is adorable. Clumsily adorable.

Everything published by NIS America has dual audio. Agarest is Japanese only. Demon's Souls had english voices in the original Japanese release, if I'm not wrong.

Valkyria Chronicles also has dual audio, though I don't think Team ICO games have the option for both voices...then again, I've never really cared about those, anyways.

There's also standard games to consider too if you play those though I'm not sure if you have a 360 or a gaming PC that you prefer instead. Do you really need the money from selling it though? I'd rather have a PS3 available at any time rather than £200 sitting in my bank account doing absolutely nothing though I'm personally a NEET with barely any living costs so I have money to throw away.

>>7694632

Pretty much all of them are dual audio. I'm not sure about the new Tales games though since they're still quite a way off. Vesperia didn't have dual audio simply because it was limited to a DVD, I think. Demons Souls doesn't have dual audio either though it doesn't need it. The Last Guardian/Ico/SotC use their own fictional language with subtitles.

The majority of people who buy games don't give a fuck about Japanese. They would rather play the game in their native language, including the voiceovers.

It's similar to how you can always see people bitch in Germany since a lot of J-RPGs are only translated to English (lacking German text / voices).

Never forget that we are the minority.

I wouldn't touch a German localization of a game with a ten foot pole. First of, the translation is usually awkward and partially wrong (even top titles like Diablo 2 and BG2 weren't perfect). Next, the voice acting is horrible. When >>7696814 mentions that English VAs are usually D tier, German VAs are most likely F tier (F as in ``fail''). Lastly, I can import titles from the UK for up to 25% lower prices, so why even bother with a localized version?

Ar Tonelico is a waifu visual novel with RPG combat elements

This is a hard comparison to make. Their chief similarity is that you pick a waifu during the course of the game and, in a secondary manner, that they borrow elements of RPGs, but their systems, purpose, and presentation are geared entirely differently.
