>> No.8563694 [DELETED] 

>>8563671
Free Mcboot is a custom firmware that you install on a memory card. If you remove the card it'll boot default firmware. No breaking involved, besides possibly removing the cover of your PS2's disc tray.

Once installed you just have to patch your ISOs, burn them to a disc and you're good to go. There are tutorials here which detail a number of installation methods.

>> No.8563764 [DELETED] 

>>8563694
How do you install it to your memory card? Will it damage any of my save files? In any case, thanks for the links and the info. Still not sure I'm gonna take the risk, but what the hell, I may as well do some research.

I suck at burning and patching, however. I always seem to mess it up

>> No.8563786 [DELETED] 

>>8563764
Unless you have an Action Replay disc handy the easiest way to install it is to grab a second hand copy of 007: Agent Under Fire and follow this guide http://freemcboot.info/swap.html..
Oh and no, it wont damage your save files, but I'd advise you to install it to a new memory card because it takes up a lot of space. Something like 4+ MB if I recall correctly.

Burning and patching is easy. You download a java App, load the ISO, hit "patch" and then use something like ImgBurn to burn the patched ISO to a disc.

Just follow the guides on that website carefully and you'll have no trouble.

>> No.8563881 [DELETED] 

>>8563864
Absolutely incorrect. GUST threads aren't some special, untouchable area of /jp/. If somebody is being a retarded faggot, it's everyone's priority to tell him off in no uncertain terms.

If encouraging stupidity and spoonfeeding is what GUST threads have become, then they are more of a blight than random shitpost threads and deserve to be axed.

But it's all whatever. Keep telling yourself that this thread, and the video games it talks about are special snowflakes that somehow have a reserved spot in /jp/ annals, even though it frequently displays a level of faggotry not usually tolerated.

>> No.8563953 [DELETED] 

>>8563881
But you see, it is. It's our very own special place within a vast sea of shitposts (like your's) and trolling (again, your posts). It has been carved out of the butthurt of the vocal majority of faggotry in the early days of GUST threads. It has been and will be for as long as anyone with power does not decide to just return to the barbaric days of PURGE EVERYTHING THAT RESEMBLES PEACEFUL CONVERSATION.
If someone asks us for help with anything GUST-related, we will help. You won't get us to stop doing that and neither will any other troll who might get bored and show up in here. If you think this is spoonfeeding, then you better have not asked a single question in your life, since all your feeble mind could possibly ask has definitely been "well documented" before.

Now get your trolling ass out of here and go back to crying in a corner, since obviously nobody will ever love you with how bitter you are over people helping each other. /b/ is a more appropriate place for you.

>> No.8564096 [DELETED] 

Oh here we go again. Reposting from previous thread before things get out of hand:

What's worse than a troll is being provoked into responding to one. For all your good intentions, guys, you'll accomplish nothing trying to fight with reason against an unreasonable person. It also contributes to the number of off-topic posts in the thread, rather than constructive discussion, which is precisely what they want.

Just stop replying, and if he makes it a habit in every future thread treat it just like another "luca is a slut" post; that is, chuckle and move on. It's not like the presence of the post is enough to destroy all discussion, and it certainly won't go that route if you don't start seriously replying and forcing discussion down that path.

Incorrect, therefore the rest of your post remains as such as well. GUST threads are not special. They are not exempt from the rules. They are not even /jp/ related. This is the same tired argument that we've had millions of times before on this board.

Spoonfeeding breeds idiocy and faggotry. I don't care which thread it is, or whatever two-bit Tom decides that "they are just trying to help." You are not. You are not helping. You are only contributing to the problem, and should be reprimanded as harshly as the spoonfed baby in question.

But you won't understand. You and the majority of the idiots in here who "just want to take it easy" wont even be able to comprehend the severity of the argument. You'll simply brand me as trolling and go on your way, contributing to a board-wide problem. Because, after all, GUST threads are super ultra mega tremendously special.

Another thing to note with 3 is that unlike 1 and 2, where each phase was its own story arc with an epic climax, 3's good parts are back-loaded. So phases 1 and 2 "okay" and then you get to Clustania in phase 3 and the game begins its rapid ascent into awesome.

savestates tend to get screwed with updates since they change how the kernel thing works.

ingame saves are in memory card files, change the folder it points to in the emulator to where you keep your old cards.

She fell in love with him. However because Shurelia was the first origin to be created she doesn't have the.. 'improvements' of Tilia. As such she can never bear children and you'll have to settle for CLANG CLANG CLANG. It's funny how they're all quite unique.

Shurelia is broken, has a static personality and cannot reproduce, can live an eternity.
Frelia has her own developed personality, has a cosmosphere, can't reproduce, has no linkage and can live an eternity.
Tilia has a static personality, can reproduce but has a limited lifespan.

Nothing has happened to these threads in years and rarely does someone care about them. GUST? Ar Tonelico will stay here. I feel like the only one who doesn't see this drama as a drastic change for /jp/.

Also to keep this slightly post on topic I want to know what sound systems /jp/ has for enjoying the Ar Tonelico OSTs and Hymmnos. I just got a pair of Grado SR80i and never again will I use $20 sony headphones. Open cans really work well with songs like EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE.

The Ar Tonelico games are still in every meaning of the word, proper Galge. Galge and Eroge are still /jp/.
And the rest of GUST have been accomodated here primarily to condense it from other threads, but I see no reason to chance that detail.

Cue point though, Ar Tonelico has no reason to leave, and with that I don't really see why bother changing anything.

First of all thanks /jp/.
I started playing Ar Tonelico and its fucking glorious.

However I have a problem with the second game.
Everything sounds great, only the voices sound...bad.
I'm using a modchip so it can't ne plugins for the emulator.

Maybe I should explain:
The cable goes out from my TV to a "converter", sorry don't know the english word.
And my headsets are plugged into this converter.

There are no speakers. Thats probably the reasons. I can't change the volume etc. even though that was no problem until now. Guess AT2 does not like it.

Never played this series before, though following the past few threads really makes me want to.

At the moment I'm at college and my laptop can't handle a ps2 emulator. I also don't have my ps2 with me.

This is a role playing game with "VN elements". Hell, people here whine about Monster Girl Quest which is a VN with role playing game elements.
As I recall, Tales of Symphonia had multi-branched dialogue. But if I made a "Tales of... General" you would not so much as *question* the idea that it belongs in one of the video game boards.

Your threads have been deleted countless times in the past. There was a time when every single one of these threads began with ">>>/v/", "Not /jp/-related", "Get out", and the usual fare, generally followed by deletion.

But that's where you are wrong.
They developed the game first and foremost as a galge, and marketed it as such. The interactions with the girls and their stories is the top priority, and the RPG elements have been tacked in to accommodate that, not the other way around.

If you ever played through the games this should be blatantly obvious. Over 50% of them is also purely in its entirety in a VN format, with 100% of the game being a full blown galge with various heroines and routes.
Heck, Akira Tsuchiya is even making the next game as an outright girl raising/care-taking simulator.

People just assume it doesn't belong because they don't even know what they are talking about, nor cares enough to learn.
But all evidence points says the games are and were made and intended as galge.

I personally think that Cloche is the best choice if you plan to replay the game.
She's likable but her route is a little weaker than Jaqclis.

(And I think that the "insight" of her past is more interesting then Lucas - you'll understand once you reach Gaia)

and to your question about the towers.
yes, Shurelia's tower was finished, indeed.

The construction of Frelia's tower came to hold at about 25%

and Tyria couldn't finish to construct her tower, 'yet', but I won't spoiler you anything.

just play the games.


oh but just in case you didn't know,

the immediate danger of parts of Metafalss falling is basically Shurelia's fault -
due to the fact that she shut down her tower in AT1...

I tell you that because I didn't understand that for my first playthrough of the AT series,

and it is way to link the first to games right from the start

>> No.8584544 [DELETED]

You can play 3 routes of 4 in one try. Just don't get cosmosphere level 5 for any of the girls until the final fight, it is pretty simple. Jaqcli is the miracle of the universe, you should not skip the best route of the game.

Enja is Shun. He was Frelia's childhood friend and they loved each other but she obviously had to fulfill her duty to create the second tower so they had to part ways. Some time later Raki was going to kill Enja but found out about the relationship between them and instead decided to turn him into a digital lifeform so he could act as her guardian if Raki ever stops being there for Frelia.

You could probably find more information on the wiki regarding the events.

If it makes you feel better, AT3's gameplay is really dogshit. It's bearable in the early phases but as soon as phase 4 hits, everything has a million hp and the game becomes a shitty tales game without staggering so it's just pressing square until you can flipshere. Over and over. In Clustania's blue maze. Over and over. Also the background music(Not the hymnos or cosmosphere music) is pretty shitty too.

I don't think you'd miss out on anything by watching it instead of playing. I think you might actually be making gains.

Except when they took away your Reyvateil it got tedious as fuck. Since you need one to get harmonics up, only Lyner could use skills because he was the only one who could use one at level 0. You couldn't even run from battles because the run option is in the Reyvateil's menu.

Yeah, AT1 and 2's battle systems sucked without Reyvateils, since any Vanguard skills beyond the basic ones required them. AT3's battle system had no such issue, which of course meant that it was the one game in the series that just about never made you fight without one.

>> No.8588504 [DELETED]

you're joking, right?

in AT1, the reyvateil was only useful for getting 4 item drops from bosses/monsters.

Half the time, you have to make your vanguards wait so you can charge up three energy balls to 2k to get a full loot bar before the boss dies.

That, or burn expensive items to increase the bar.

Not really. The number of mistranslations, typos and general errors in AT2 is disturbingly high so you're not exactly getting the best experience from the game. The characters act completely different, the terminology is wrong in many places, lots of dialogue wasn't even translated etc. You can still play the game without an issue but it's just that a lot of it is wrong. So wrong in fact that fans are doing a fan translation of the game instead, I think that should tell you something.

I was kinda disappointed you couldn't see Ar tonelico/Metafalss & Metafalica/The Tower of Harvestasya in the background of the credits of AT3

To be fair, they're too relatively damn thin.

Not if they were close enough. Heck, they could have just had the Rinkernator/Sol Marta/Ku sweep by in the foreground at points in the credits.

Kinda, when Sasha uses her relay satellite.

Just cut it off right before Eolia starts either manually or in an editing program. That's what I do for my car's CD.

I hear we were supposed to see them in the background but they ran out of time. Of course that might be internet lies.

Well it is a spoiler so...

Cocona will perfom hymmnos which works the same way METHOD_REPLEKIA/. did;

She connects to Infel Phira (and thus the Revytails of Metafalss) and redirects some of its' power to the third tower.

In this scene you get to see the silhouette Infel Phira for a brief moment.

This is also the very first time that Cocona performs hymmnos, and additionally the only hymmnos in AT Qouga written in 'New Testament of Pastalie' dialect.

And as a little trivia again:
For this whole operation a certain satellite was used.
A certain satellite which was build by a certain young genius shop owner.

So if you read through all of Sasha's dialogues in AT2 (especially in the later parts of the game) you will surely be pleased by the progress she made.

A great scene, indeed.

is it just me, or do the harvestashas wear a half transparent skirt with no panties under it?
