What's the best route?

>>322875496

>Misha route

Anyone else doesn't matter

>>322875496
Ar Tonelico II > Ar Tonelico > Ar Tonelico III

And Cloche was the best waifu.

Ion

>>322875496
Opinions, but I was really struggling to finish the first one.
2's better in that regard.

>>322875721
Misha's route is fucking terrible though. Lyner is intolerable during it.

>>322875868
Why?

>>322876974
Why to which part?
Shurelia just didn't click with me, yet it's required for the canon ending and 2 expects you to have done that.
In 2 you pick a girl and stick with it, or not, up to you. Also somewhat skill based blocking to the point you can have a fight you're supposed to lose to go indefinitely.

>>322876974
2 is better in pretty much every way. Better writing, better characters, better gameplay. Everything's better. Except the translation, that was shit.

>>322877698
>Except the translation, that was shit.
Several others thought that way and now few years later they released a fan patch.
How it compares to the official, I do not know but at least it's crash/freeze free.

Misha

Misha, Cloche, Akane, and Ion in series order.

>>322875496
So, is the PS3 Ar Tonelico game any good or not?

>bitches and whores only in the 2nd game

>>322879681
Not really. Just skip and play Ar Nosurge after 2.

>>322879837
>tfw reading some of the IPD logs
wew

>>322879848
Is it worth 10 bucks?

>>322879681
It is almost so bad it's good, but you would be better with just listening to OST and looking up youtube walkthrough without comments.

Never the 2 main heroines, always

>>322880237
Ok, then. Thanks. Guess I'll do that and start Nosurge.

>>322879681
It's really one of the worst games I ever played in my life, ever.

>>322875868
1 and 3 are honestly bad games. 2 is the only good one in the series.

>>322879681

Atrociously bad.

>>322879928
maybe, play it on easy and blast through it. Just to close the trilogy and the music.

Shurelia and Mir master race here.

Misha is best grill.

>>322880408
1 is worth playing for music alone It seems unmatched so far.

>>322880817
I hope Shurelia is playble in next Surge game.

At3 really isn't that bad. It's true that the combat sucks, but it's not like you were playing these games for the combat. You're playing them for the setting/characters, and 3 is still beating the first game in that department, even if Saki is boring as shit. If you can enjoy 1 you can enjoy 3.

>>322881292
The characters also suck.

The girls dive development is split between them and their personalities so in the end they don't change for shit outside of acknowledgement that their split personalities are part of them too.

All the interesting characters that could have been Vanguards never join your party and instead you are stuck with doctor bland remembered only for his hot waifu who never joined your party.

>>322881671
Vanguards are always boring. The only one who was ever interesting was Cocona, and she comes back for 3 anyway. Doctor bland is boring, but it's not like church knight guy/giant military man/talking dog were any good either.
You're right that the split cosmospheres suck, but it's not like the first game was great there either. How much character development does Misha get? Fucking none. Aurica does kinda get development, except she develops from super shy with low self esteem to lunatic, which isn't really a huge improvement. Finnel does low self esteem much better. Saki and Tilia both suck (and Tilia's binary field is the worst thing ever holy fuck who thought this was a good idea), but one girl is better than zero.

I'm not trying to say it's as good as 2, because it's not, but it's at least on par with 1.

Mir>Ion>Shurelia/Tyria>Cass and then the rest.

>tfw i got her ending in Ar Nosurge

2 and nosurge are the best of the bunch. I like 2 more because of the relocalization patch but nosurge had better music. Too bad we were cockblocked with missing content/ending in the ps3 version by nisa. Fuck them with a cactus.

Ar Tonelico: Shurelia

Ar Tonelico 2: Jaqcli

Main girls a shit, the best girls are always hidden away and hard to get so only the true patricians can get them.
