I picked up my copy earlier today from GS. The manager that works there, he knows me so well that when I got to the store he knew exactly what game I was getting without looking up the info. Also he gave me 2 posters he got from the GS manager's conference because I was one of his regulars. Much <3.
This, aren't the songs all in language they made just for the series? I'm not sure what the point would be in dubbing them.
Nah it makes no sense to dub those, but they should have dubbed the synthesis songs, instead of leaving it blank.
Issue with the dub tho is that they also didn't dub little things like the field chats. I bet side story and genometrics stuff didn't get full treatment either.\
I hope you read up on Ciel!
Yeah, just found it. Yay!
I wouldn't be surprised it the dub was lacking in that department but at least they didn't pull an Ar Tonelico 2 and take out half of the Japanese audio this time around
Yes very much so, though there is less English dubbed lines then there is Japanese since it seems the localized on a fairly tight budget
Yes it is.
Cool, thanks.
This info should be added to the OP.
EDIT: wait nevermind it is, I'm an idiot
Not yet, but I will sometime. I'm still going through Fairy Fencer F
and FF14
Downloading!
I first tried the paypal option, but apparently I still have to go through the entire buy online PSN code at Amazon -> enter fake US adress -> enter code in PSN spiel. Well, it's better than buying codes from shady resellers on ebay before Amazon sold them.
PSN speed seems better than usual, estimates 50 minutes for 13 GB. Of course, on Steam it would usually download in less than half that, but not bad.

Wow, 13 GB? I'm going to have to clear some space if I want to install.
Install is only 3.4 gigs for physical.
Oh okay. I probably won't have to delete anything lol. Thanks for the info.

Seems I complete missed this series on the PS2 era, Just tried to snag a copy of it and it seems to be going around $50+. Interested in this series now. Will be following up on it.
KT nubbin' it up.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
((((；ﾟДﾟ))))))
It sort of fixes itself later. I guess here and there?
I'm up to where you meet Prim finally.
It's quiet in here though! Either folks don't have copies or they're playing XD

Yeah, I just started and a woman is saying things like "It's like an oasis for an old man like me." ... Oh well.
Edit: Heh, the Synthesis song is hilarious.
I take it you're playing in japanese
It's really disappointing they didn't make the dub cast do this, it would have been awesome.

I ordered a copy from a local retailer and I just called and they told me they might not even get copies... I'm going to several stores tomorrow to see if I can find a copy, worst case scenario I will just buy it on PSN.
I'm going to finish reading Ciel soon(currently in chapter 10) and I really wanna know more about this story and characters now.
I had to finish Danganronpa 2 first
Anyway, just booted up Ar nosurge. I think I like the OP video even more than the one for AT3. And I liked that one a lot.
Also, thanks for insisting that people should read about Ciel first, I feel like I already got more even just out of the OP video than if I didn't know about it. I can only imagine what it will be like for the actual game!
Just read Ciel, you can play the others later fine. You could technically end up playing it in chronological order since Ar nosurge is prequel to the Tonelico games, the meaning of having played AT1 prior would just invoke some deep nostalgia.
But Ciel is absolutely necessary, see the above post for example.

Gamefly is getting the game late (for some reason) so my game will be a bit delayed it seems.
I forgot I had Kirby Triple Deluxe in my queue and they sent me that so my plan to get them to send me it backfired.
I fully expect its availability to be low by the time I send back Kirby.
Ah ok. Good to know it is a prequel. I will pick up my preorder today then! Would like to support these kind of localizations anyway. Thanks!

So I'm just getting Ds and Cs for battles. What do I have to do to start getting As?
Also, how do I know which Song Magic to choose?

You're on hard or veteran right? That might be hard to achieve early on at that difficulty. Ranking is typically done via the amount of waves cleared and I think burst damage dealt too. Might be more so the former. Early on, you only have 2 songs right at most right? Doesn't matter too much yet, both are just as effective currently. But regarding songs, the description right at the beginning tells you everything you need to know about what it'll do.

My copy came today, but I'm still playing Xillia 2 and Sen no Kiseki II (I support localized versions, but who knows when this would see a NA release) is later this week.

Dang it, just got a Game Over and my last save is a fair bit back... Are save points the only places you can save? It really feels like you should be able to save on the world and city maps at least, to prevent losing too much progress.
Inns and save points yup. How far are you now?
Some initial impressions 3 hours in:
- I like what I've seen of the battle system a lot so far. It seems a bit easy though consideringthat I'm playing on "Veteran".
- The party talks on exploration maps are great. I've always liked this kind of thing.
- Synthesis is hilarious.
-CosmospheresGenometrics are still as out there as they should be.

Could say it's relatively easy overall, but there are some wakeup call bosses out there that on Vet will really give you the run for your money.

So here's a question. Is there a proper way to quit to the title screen, or do you just hit the PS button and exit that way?
Iirc, you live in Mexico too, right?
I think we might not even get copies of this game
Asked around last week in GP and Gamers (didn't even bothered to go to Gamerush) and they didn't even knew what game I was talking about :/
Worst case scenario for me, I'll look for a way to buy it online. I refuse to buy it digital :lol

Yeah... I know that, the game isn't even in their databases at all.
I'm mostly talking about random guys selling games and not crappy stores like GP and Gamers when I say that I'll look around.
I think I'll have to pull that trick, too :/
This game's physical version is only going to get harder to get as time passes, isn't it? *sigh*

Nice. I'll assume no one else got their LE today.

I loved Ar Tonelico 1+2, but skipped 3. Rather excited, since this game seems to be much more well received.
I'm reading the summaries of Ciel, and apparently the story changes if you have carry over data from Ciel? Has anyone who has played comment on whether or not options were added or something for the localization?
