I think you mean "almost all Jakuri fanart". Stuff by other artists is rare and sadly mostly crap or weird looking.

At least his stuff is incredibly cute at times so it's not like there needs to be that much variety.

As a response for the previous thread, I don't know where YOU fixed your BD drive for 40 dollars, but if I had to send in my ps3 to sony without my warranty intact ( it had already expired ) it would've cost me around 100-150 euros to get the BD drive replaced... Also I was using an old 80 GB ps3, which was completely full, getting a good HDD with a lot of space could've set me back another 100 euros, combine that with the ps3 already being old and having the possibility of it dying shortly after getting it fixed, I opted for just getting a brand new 320 GB one for 274 euros instead.

SOPA/PIPA protest.

[Anonymous No.]

Hello there Gust fans. I only came here to vent a little, so feel free to ignore.

I think this whole spoiler crap is dumb and is practically making this place unbrowsable. It's not even like Congress will even bother with this place, so this form of "protest" is kinda pointless. So I'm going to avoid 4chan until this whole thing blows over.

Thank you for letting me vent. Also, that Gust tease looks like it might be related to Ar Tonelico; that city looks like Fire...something, I forget. It was from the first game. There's also some hi-techy stuff.

>>8433705

The only extension that I have that does that is the official 4chan extension. Greasemonkey and Stylish don't add any other buttons since they're contained within that specific plugin. And are you so underage that you can't browse a website without them knowing? Password your profile and make a guest account and let them use that - that way nothing will transfer over to the other account and you don't have to worry at all.

I don't get why some artists draw Jacqli as a flat, un-curvy loli and draw Luca as busty and curvy at the same time. Just look at their character sprites; Luca's boobs are only slightly bigger than Jacqli's (and Jacqli ain't flat), and Jacqli actually has a much curvier figure than Luca

What the fuck is wrong with you? I agree with EXEC_EP=NOVA/. though, for the limited amount of hymmnos per game it saddens me that one was 'wasted' on this track. I like the song, don't get me wrong, but there could have been so much better as far as hymmnos goes.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't play these games, but I do have EXEC_EP=NOVA/. on one of my playlists. It's like a summer theme to me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8441377
I didn't pay too much attention to it the first time, but when I sat down and listened to it I felt something unfamiliar running down my cheeks. (I then listened to Fusionsphere and actually cried, but that's another story.) It's about a flawed concept, but the core of it is "I honestly want you to be happy", and that touched me. Now I'm worried about my eventual replay of AT2, I won't be able to attack them while it's playing.

>>8441416
The kowareros can get a bit cheesy, I admit, but that anger-filled part near the end is just amazing. Only XaaaCi can top that in pure hatred.

[Anonymous No.]

Out of the SUBLIMATION songs, I think Emptiness is unfairly ignored. It's not as flashy as the others, but it's still excellent.

[Tsubasa_Cat !!otZqtLVzeXj No.]

>I don't play these games, but I do have EXEC_EP=NOVA/. on one of my playlists. It's like a summer theme to me.

Same here.

I have it on my nyan-themed playlist, along with theNyamo song which is a slower version of NOVA with 300% more meowing.

Not Gust-related, but since a ton of us have PS3's already, Armored Core V is coming out next week in Japan and in 2 months elsewhere. It looks pretty cool so far, maybe we can get some netplay going when it's out.

Not Totori/Ar Tonelico related but I suppose this would be the best place to post this. I assume most people watching this thread would be interested. Since the US version of Neptunia mk2 is coming out in about a month, I dug around and found about 120 custom skins that the Japanese community had made.
I stuck them all in a rar for you guys.

No one is more against random yuri pairings than myself. I don't even think Homura from Madoka is gay. Also Nanoha and Fate are simply waiting for the right guys to come along.

However, I really do think Totori and Mimi are lesbians. I don't like to admit this, but it just seems that way. You'd think Totori would be influenced by Rorona's fondness for knight p0n0s, but I just don't see it ever happening.

Don't worry about posting Neptunia related stuff here, even though it's not a pure GUST game, it's still considered on-topic.

Anyhow, that feature sure reminds me of the time when Illusion had just released AG3. I ended up learning how to Photochop and Metaseq just so I could create new outfits for the girls, without actually playing the game itself.

Kinda embarassing to ask because I'm very late for the party but I have to know:
Its about Ar Tonelico - Melody of Elemia:
The game told me that I can miss certain "talk" events.
Is that true? How dangerous is it to miss them? Anything I have to look out for?
Thanks for your help /jp/!

[Anonymous No.]

>>8450388
I'd love to know the story behind Sterk's voice actor.
Especially in Rorona, not only his voice didn't fit the character's appearance, there was also the case of SD character models.

I'm secretly hoping for a remake of AR with updated graphics to bring it up to par with the following games.

I'm in a similar situation right now, If I want to continue past the PS2 games I need to get a ps3 fixed or buy a new one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8450445
It's been years since I played the first one (oh God, AT2 was only released three years ago! With every other thing I feel like it's been longer; AT is the opposite, for some reason), but I can recall you just need a small amount of talk topics per Cosmosphere level. You're bound to find the minimum amount, though I don't remember if it's impossible to miss enough that you would be stuck.
...Maybe I should leave the answer to a true AT sage.

[Anonymous No.]

As anyone fixed the AT1 and AT2 sound files, putting the full Japanese dialogue back into the game?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8450445
As far as AT1 goes, yes you can miss Talk events, but or anyone that isn't the third girl (not sure if you spoiled yourself or not), it's not an issue for the most part.
In the second game, however, you need to be more careful, especially if your going the third girl.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8450445

Unless you're obsessed with 100% completion there's no need to worry about missing talk topics, for the most part. There are only two times in the series where you'll need to go out of your way to find them at all- when you're doing the last level or two of AT2's third RT, and if you want to see an extra scene in Saki's CS in AT3 by getting to a certain level before a certain event in the main story.

[Anonymous No.]

If I'm interpreting this correctly, does that mean there's a chance of a future game in the same franchise coming to PS3? Because I really don't want to waste money on a Vita for one game.

The whole thing sounds very interesting though. Art style reminds me of Ar Tonelico, but with some Bioshock thrown in. Maybe it's just the karyotype I keep seeing. Also

Depends how you look at it. The Vita isn't exactly doing great* in Japan so whether the recent Vita trend sticks or not remains to be seen. The only upside to the Vita from my perspective is that it has a lot of launch titles, none of which I'm personally interested in. Either way I'm not paying £230/£280 for a handheld just for a single game. I imagine an emulator will be available eventually so the only thing I'm missing out on is giving Gust my money.

*Compared to the 3DS at least. From what I've seen the sales (especially after the first week of release) haven't exactly been living up to par. The NA/EU release of Vita might change this but with such a high price tag I honestly doubt it.

[Anonymous No.]

Dear GUST,

I would like to take this moment to award you this nice little FUCK YOU for choosing to release your new game on a handheld that's overpriced, shitty and even lacking a TV out option.
You get an additional, even bigger FUCK YOU since once your game turns out to be awesome and feature Hymmnos-level songs by Shikata et al. , I will most likely give in and buy this shitty handheld just for your game.

Why are you doing this to me?

[Anonymous No.]

Eh, but the Vita isn't overpriced, it's what the 3DS costed back then, you poor fags. I was actually expecting it to be far more expensive, you know, what you actually pay for smartphones with shittier hardware and nobody complains.

>Eventually

Key word. I have over 40 games in my backlog alone and that's not counting the soon to be released games to add to that (Neptunia mk2, Meruru, Tales of Graces f, FFXIII-2 etc.) so I'm certainly not in any hurry. Plus GW2 will suck away a lot of my free time. If the game turns out good then that's great but I'm in no rush to play it. Gust is a company that caters to a niche audience, alienating some of that audience doesn't seem like a great idea, especially after the numbers they managed to get with Meruru for example.

>>8464242

Just because the 3DS costed similar doesn't mean it isn't overpriced. I can buy a slim 160/320gb PS3 WITH games for less than the price of a Vita without 3G and that's not taking into account the pricing for games and/or a memory card. Call poorfag all you want but that's still a decent amount of money being spent.

So, while I was looking for some low priced games since my book shop does 'bring us 5 used games from our list, we cut 150€ from the Vita price'(and I can probably get them for less than 100), I saw a NA premium edition of AT3 for 79.90€.

It is possible to make a Risk map with a combined world, with the three regions as their own separate main landmasses with two or three "continents" each with their own interconnectivity, and the three connected by airship routes.

To illustrate, a list of the world's continents:
A. Wings of Horus - Broken into territories ie. Nemo, Singing Hills, Wings of Remembrance etc
B. Ar Tonelico - The main tower territories ie. Platina, Rinkernator, etc
C. The Rim - The various locations on the Rim proper
D. Great Bell(working name) - Tower proper up to Sol Marta
E. Great Fang - The mountain regions and towns
F. Harvestasha Sector B(modified a bit) - Archia and Tower of Origin to Garvelt Bridge + Moocheriel
G. Harvestasha Sector A(modified a bit) - Kniehar Signal Station up to Ku
Note the imbalance in the distribution of territories; holding different continents should have different rewards associated with them. Larger territories such as the Tower of Ar Tonelico should have larger bonuses than say, the Great Fang. Also, connectivity must be carefully controlled and balanced, it is possible to do this using game canon as a device to set it up ie. the Blast Line, rail routes and the bridge in Harvestasha etc.

Continued for "Field too long"...

[Anonymous No.]

>>8472730
Adapting AT to the gameplay mechanics, each class of unit can be renamed to a corresponding AT term to reflect the tiny scale the game's universe runs in: 1 infantry = 1 human, 1 calvary = 1 third generation reyvateil, 1 artillery = 1 beta/origin/named unit. Note that this must be purely, purely cosmetic and cannot have an effect on the game mechanics.

General gameplay mechanics of Risk remain; it isn't Risk anymore if you change it up. Dice rolls, troops, and cards all work the exact same, only the map and the name of your units change.

tl;dr if you want a Risk game, give me a good artist who can draw a nice map, I'll draw territory/connection lines and a continent bonus table on it, and you have yourself an Ar Ciel Risk game you can print out or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8472738
I dunno, you can change it up a little and still have fully recognisable Risk. Just look at Metal Gear Solid Risk, which adds bosses you can put with armies to get certain bonuses, buying cards with points, and an entire region that moves randomly to 6 different places unless you control all 3 territories in it which lets you choose where it goes at the end of your turn.

The bosses thing might work, having different reyvateils give different effects, but the Outer Haven thing definitely would not

[Anonymous No.]

>>8472730
Elemia on its own could be broken up pretty well too:

A: Upper tower (anything above frozen eye)
B: Lower tower (anything on the tower itself below frozen eye)
C: Inner Wings of Horus (Half closest to the tower, e.g. Nemo)
D: Outer Wings of Horus (Half furthest from the tower, e.g. Karulu)
E: Firefly Alley (the game's australia)

Saki - +1 to highest defense roll

This is actually a really hard question. It's a mix up between Arland and Sol Ciel for me. Arland because delicious Totori, alchemy and it's a visually appealing place to be. Sol Ciel because I prefer it over the other two towers plus Shurelia and Mir are love. Either one would make me happy regardless of being an important character or just generic soldier B.

If the thread 404s due to spam, we'll just make a new one. No worries. Hakuna matata.

After finishing Totori in one sitting last weeks (rushed as fuck), I grew a habit of napping while listening to Totori no atelier. Pure bliss.
Therefore, as of now its Arland for me.

Looking like some sort of LovePlus, but I doubt that's the only kind of gameplay it will have. So much mystery.

I think Imageepoch is outdoing GUST with TokiTowa. But I still believe GUST can pull off something great.

Heck, that Tokitowa looks fantastic. I'll probably buy it if it comes out in English never.

Ciel nosurge coming out in English, looks kinda iffy considering what we know about the game so far, but I'll definitely buy it immediately if it does.

NISA will deliver TokiTowa, I'm sure of it. They're bringing over BRS for the PSP after all.

Ciel nosurge is kinda interesting. Might buy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8477861

Hate to burst your bubble, but NISA will probably never bring TokiTowa to the US. It's Bamco who has the rights. And we all know Bamco from Tales of...
Better forget about the game for now. Even if it comes over, chances are it'll take a good while. Then again, it sounds damn generic anyway. Once again, a teeny-romance is a must, even if the setting could be easily used to not have one. Wonderful. I have a lot of bad feelings when I think about that game. Hopefully it proves me wrong.
Sage because not Gust.

We also know Bamco out of Ar tonelico itself, as well as other games that got localized. It's just Tales of that Bamco's bitchy about.

Finally getting around to doing the Beefer and Tilia~ routes in Qoga.

Does the Elemia Island DLC still break Tyria's binary field? I should hold off on installing it until after level 3, right?

I think he's getting confused because Bamco published Ar Tonelico III in Japan instead of Banpresto.

That cosmosphere is more or less completely bugged.
dlc: It has something to do with the shrine and Hyuma 44. After you went there and got it, you can install (the very very bad) dlc.
It was short, not exactly good, not even voiced.. and the optional "last part" .. terrible doesn't even begin to describe it.

Other than that there is the crashing location(afair Tilia's house, as long as other locations are also open) and NISA screwing up the voices which destroyed the last part of the cosmosphere if you use japanese voices. (so just switch to english ones for the third level. Better no voice than that screw-up. You probably wouldn't enjoy the climax otherwise)

Well, of course, I'm playing for that too; I like watching those. But the complete encyclopedia, lvl 50, and other trophies related to fighting monsters? I don't like those...

That's what the GameFAQs saves are for, assuming you have an American copy of the game. Being EU is suffering.

I finished the game once. Watched the other endings on youtube. I'll likely do the same with Totori, especially since I'm not enjoying it as much as I did Rorona.

I thought you can't get trophies from someone else's save?

AR is quite nice with those things though. Adv. Ending requires l50 and the strongest monsters defeated anyway. So just defeat all the bounty, strong and dragon-type monsters for exp.
If you play for endings, then you'll have a problem though. Not all of them give you a trophy.
true, good and normal endings: 6char+1generic each = 21 versions
pie ending: for each char one = 6 versions
bad, adv., rich, astrid = + 4 Endings
So, 31. The bad ending isn't really an ending (no credits), but it does give a trophy.
Also, for example, just because the true ending + Cordelia is called "Cordelia's ending" it doesn't mean it's the best with her. I personally like her good ending more.
So, even with this Gust was nice. They could've easily done something like "watched all good endings" for trophies. It's not like a character is a lot more important in his or her named ending than in a different ending. They just aren't on the CG. (+ they usually "don't do something" against the current situation, but they tend to have just as much screen time)

Just starting on Atelier Totori here. Wondering if I should be taking every request I can or just taking it easy and doing whatever.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8483684
You should be taking most of them in the early game. Later on some of them will require you to waste weeks heading to the middle of nowhere to find rare monsters/items, so screw those, but early on you're going to be able to complete the majority of them without trying. You were already going to go get ingredients/do random synthesis to raise your alchemy levels anyway, may as well get paid for it.

>>8484826
I'm not an alchemist, I'm an adventurer! Or at least I'd like to be. I can't beat Scarlet or any of the monsters that come after him. My healing salves only recover 10hp, and I can't make the larger bombs because my alchemy level is too low. Shit sucks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484846
You're an adventurer, but you're an artificer style one. Your job is to have an item that's appropriate for every situation, and to keep everyone equipped. Alchemy is how you achieve that, you can't just neglect it.
