I'd dive into Saki too, if you know what I mean.

Awesome, I don't have to re-create the Ar Tonelico III thread.

Before the thread 404'd, people were talking about NISA and localizations. I was hoping that discussion would continue.

Somebody said Atlus USA was better than XSeed and Ignition. If you're still there, what's wrong with XSeed and Ignition? I'm curious. (I might understand Ignition, if they're the reason the dialouge in Nostalgia and Muramasa were so bland and boring, but I still want to know.)

I think I'm going to stop watching these movies, too much spoilerish.

I'd crash her cosmosphere, if you know what I mean.

あの！！
サキにのもセクスしてください！！

>>4208569
I'd get past her Lvl.5, if you get what I mean.

in b4 Shirou

Needs more Finnel.

>>4208566
The only experience I've had with XSeed was with Rune Factory Frontier.
Dub only. By Bang Zoom.
Cast has both Johnny Yong Bosch (Main Character) and Wendy Lee (Crazy Book Lady)
They had the balls to dub the Grimoire Song, and various other Lah-lah-lah pieces. Impressive.

Some inconsistencies in translation:
Renamed "Forest of Beginnings" to "First Forest."
Inconsistent with changing "Viviash" to "De Saint Coquelle"
Inconsistent with calling them "yams" or "sweet potatoes;" One instance of voice over saying one and the text saying the other.
One of the rune stone's item names was too long, so it cut off at "Ston"

It''s also impossible to find a copy. On release day, I found one in a Gamestop, but it was the gutted display copy.

I hear XSeed's work on Avalon Code was worse, though.

>>4208610
Avalon Code's translation was awful.

>>4208610
English Avalon Code for the DS was indeed horrible.
And you're better off downloading a copy of RFF and just burning it.

>>4208622
I already bought it, but I ripped it to an HDD, and it loads a lot faster. Also use Ocarina codes so I don't have to deal with that Runey system.
Did anyone make an undub version?
I feel a little insecure knowing that Rosetta's voice is old enough to be my mom.

>>4208543
I fucking lol'd when that part came up, from that it's pretty sure that theres yandere in there somewhere. Can't fucking wait to get to dive to lvl 9 if you know what I mean.

You'd like me to dive into you? Well certainly, young lady, I'd be happy to oblige.

I wonder if she has some bizarre dance ritual she would need to complete before letting you dive that ass.

The XSEED titles I have are Retro Game Challenge, and Half-Minute Hero. Both I think are perfectly fine in terms of translation. Couldn't say off the top of my head that there were any noticeable inconsistencies either. Also looking forward to picking up Fragile and Lunar (in fact, I never played the first, only through some portion of Lunar 2 as a Saturn import).

>>4208825

Paper puppet show

>>4208844
HMH had a very, very good english translation. It did an excellent job of keeping all the funny in the package.

As for the Lunar demo, you will be wincing at the voiceovers and the changed-lyrics themesong. (No more Jennie Stigle)

>>4208856
What about Wind's Nocturne?

>>4208867
I don't know, but seeing that the dev said something about not being able to get Jennie Stigle back for this project and Wings having a different singer, I wouldn't count on it.

Dropped the english demo as soon as I heard Nall's horrible english VA (all VA are changed as well). I'll be getting the Japanese version anyway.

I like how the fanart on pixiv is also containing a countdown to release.

>>4208923
So should I brave the sea of eBay and seek out the SEGA CD originals? Or, I suppose at this point in time, I could bear down and get the PSX versions...

which one is the tsundere in at3?

>>4208942
if you have a psp, get psx-psp roms
if you don't get a psx emulator (pcsx i think) and get a Lunar SSSC rom

or were you talking about original, physical copies...?

>>4208942
For the full Lunar 1 experience I would recommend playing the Sega CD version then playing the PS1 version, and skipping the GBA version unless you really really like Lunar and want yet another retelling of the same story (GBA version is okay, but the battle system is dumbed down a bit, plus it lacks anime cutscenes and Working Designs' hilarious localization). The Sega CD version is a bit outdated, however, so going only with the PS1 version wouldn't be a bad option. The Sega CD version's interface is relatively hard to work with and it lacks the graphics/fully animated cutscenes and extras of the PS1 version. Still, the PS1 version has some changes to the story and character additions that will be all the more meaningful if you had played the Sega CD version already.

If you decide you want to play Lunar 2, which I actually like more than the first, I recommend the Sega CD version over the PS1 version. The interface in the Sega CD version is much improved over the first Lunar, and it's a lot more challenging and balanced than its PS1 counterpart. The only advantages the PS1 version really has are the more risque/uncensored content (Sega made Working Designs edit some symbols and enemy graphics, but it's minor anyway), better animated cutscenes and graphics, and some minor extras like collectible images. Otherwise, they have the same music and even most of the same voice clips, but the Sega CD version has more animated scenes. There are far fewer differences between the two versions of Lunar 2 compared to the two console versions of Lunar 1.

Xseed did a decent job with Wild Arms 4 and 5. But they did an awesome job with Shadow Hearts 3; the translation was as enjoyable as the original. I love the part after this battle:

>>4208543
I have a feeling that Aoto is going to be just like Shiro personality-wise as well.

>>4208969
L2EB was probably the best rpg I have ever played in terms of story, character, humor, and 2D sprite goodness, nostalgia goggles on. I think I spent over a thousand hours on it.

>>4208978
On which regard?
Lyner was already dense and 'Save Everyone' (without a broken mentality).
From the trailers, he seems overly dramatic and passionate, and not that dense(nor as 'cool' as Croix).
I don't really see it.

>>4209001
Croix's stupid haircut undermines his badass personality.

>>4208967
Well, I have a PSP, but at this point, not a larger enough memory stick to place many games on it. Also I have a (gasp) PSPgo, and have really been leaning towards using it instead. I still have vague hopes that Sony will come through with a physical -> digital trade-in system, and I can purge my UMD collection. So other than that, I would like physical copies to play. But I guess I should try the SSH demo first, since I don't have any prior bias towards how I think the game should be/sound.

>>4209015
Well, true. Am I the only one who thought he looks like a woman in his casual clothes and with glasses?

Is Tatsumi a girl or a boy?

>>4208969
I really need to get around to playing this.

Wonder if it's easy to get a sega cd emulator and the isos.

>>4209029
Incidentally, that's why I liked about him. Seriously though, I like the cool and quiet types best for protagonists. Lyner is exactly the sort of protag that gets on my nerves. Anyone know what Aoto is like? Shirou-esque wouldn't be bad at all, if he was all JUSTIIIIIIIIIICE and THIS IS THE ONLY PATH in between humoring crazy girls and displaying his sexual incompetence.

I hate that guy's hair. So much that it may even cancel out all the awesome of SURPRISE TITS.

>>4209086
I was amazed at surprise tits. The main AT girls were normally so busty, and I thought I was in for double loli until I saw the trailer and BOING BOING.

>>4209081
Considering he's borne in a Reyvateil-dominant culture his sense of duty is probably weak, and I'm betting he regards Reyvateils on a lower scale than normal women, thus excluding them from any deep relationship.
I'm calling for massive frustration here, Aoto is going to be raped for real in the cosmospheres.

>>4209104
>Aoto is going to be raped for real in the cosmospheres.
Fine too.

>>4209104
considering that both Lyner and Croix got pretty much raped in AT1&2 cosmosperes, it's pretty much guaranteed that Aoto will too.

What are their disabilities?

Finnel has some kind of multiple-personality thing going, and Saki is a moeblob?

>>4209163
Doesn't they both have multiple-personalities? I wonder how they will effect the overall story telling tough as those other personalities do seem to pop-up in real world too not just cosmospheres.

>>4209163
Saki is Mir 2.0, Finnel... no fucking idea.

>>4209174
>Mir 2.0
explain

>>4209209
She's an artificial Reyvateil like Mir, though their purpose is different.
Mir was created as an experiment for a powerful Reyvateil, with an empty cosmosphere and no freedom.
Saki supposedly was created to sing the song which will end the world, as the game's title suggests, details are obviously unknown, but it looks like she had an easier time than Mir.

>created to sing the song which will end the world

I never really understood the point of doomsday weapons.

>>4209244
that clears it up, thanks

>>4209257
To end everything in existence.

Pretty easy to understand.

>>4209260

Okay... but why?

>>4209270
You... need a reason to destroy everything in existence?

Why?

>>4209277

Because one is included in everything in existence.

>>4209286
Well, of course.
Why would you want to stay alone after everyithing else is gone?

>>4209277
Rebirth is a recurring theme in the serie, probably it's meant to destroy the world after "backing up" people consciousness in a similiar way as in HAIBANATION and then sing Metafalica on an huge scale on the whole planet, hoping this will cure whatever shit made the planet spit the Sea of Death in the first place.

>>4209357

I understand this. Thank you.

>>4209357
That's a pretty cool plot, destorying the world for all the right reasons. That could play out well, I'd like to see a game a game that made blowing up the world a compelling option.

Jesus shit I'm really disliking Saki so far.

I'm generally okay with moeblobs, but Saki's just too damn much. I expected something better from GUST.

>>4209385
I'm with you on this one. Sometimes personality does not match appearance? Let's hope.

I hope it has costumes from the other games, maybe even from the atelier games

So is Spica in it?

>>4209486
COCONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I like Finnel's Personas the best, but I really don't like this one's tattoos.

>>4209508

What's the name of this character again, I can't see to remember, ugh.

>>4209711
Filament / フィラメント

>>4209738
Thank you!

So, which one do you people prefer now before the release, Saki or Finnel?

>>4210295

SURPRISE TITS, without a doubt.

>>4210295
The admin actually looks like she'll be the best. Other than that, Finnel. Saki is too blobby.

>>4210295
The third Reyvateil.
And I don't even know who it is.

This thing better come with an artbook!

>>4210729
There are some crazy packages for the Japanese release.

Not sure what we'll get over here when(/if) they release it.

>>4210759
Oh yeah? I was thinking of importing again and the release date is really close, I'll have to look into it.

>>4210295
Finnel, but I've got my eye on Tilia as well. Depending on her personality and character, she could easily steal my interest.

>>4209097
>I was amazed at surprise tits. The main AT girls were normally so busty, and I thought I was in for double loli until I saw the trailer and BOING BOING.

Finnel for now. Fappable pic related.

brown girls are the best, put Aletaea to the test.

backbeard-wannabe is watching you fap etc

>>4211375
Is it bad that I, too, immediately thought "little brown girl" when I first saw her?

>>4211398
I'd be worried about those that didn't.

>>4211392
That eye thing scares the shit out of me. I guess Finnel is the "dark" reyvateil.

Delicious wet scythe-wielding clownsuit loli is obviously the best girl in the game though.

>>4211659
>wet scythe-wielding clownsuit loli

I'm thinking we may be running out of fetishes here.

>>4211838
They'll just keep piling them up until each character is wearing a mountain of clothing and accessories, and has mile-high hair in the most unearthly styles imaginable.

>>4211659

In the last thread, there was a screenshot of Jakuri blushing in a maid outfit saying she'd do anything for Croix because she loves him.
I'd love it if someone reposted, because it was fucking moe.

>>4212040

the chars in this game suck

>>4212534
There's quite a few. If you don't like any of them you're probably being overly difficult.

>>4212534

Fascinating fable, sibling.

>>4212190
Thanks anon. I'll do anything to make you happy because I love you so much.

Were battles always real-time or is this new for Ar Tonelico?

>>4212823
No, they were turn-based. Kind of similar to Valkyrie Profile.

>>4212823
ArT1 was turned-based. ArT2 they changed it to be realtime (and added/changed a shitload of stuff so it pretty much has no resemblance to ArT1) so you have to think on your feet.
Granted, you can just pause, but that's for pussies.
