Disclaimer: there appears to be a game freezing bug in the english version, opening the Growth System menu will cause the game and system to freeze, it's recommended to avoid opening the Growth System menu until a patch is issued

>>13166047

..Did they not play test this whatsoever? The JP version was filled with bugs and freezes too so having at least a few people go through the game and check should have been mandatory so this could have been patched on day 1.

>>13166157
As a QA guy myself, it's more likely that they did have someone find all that shit but the devs never got around to fixing it, or they're bugs that only showed up in the submitted retail build and not any of the debug builds.

>>13166157
Consumers are test players.

>>13166172
It's sad that this is the current state of the industry

>>13166172

For 'AAA' titles that is quite common but for niche JRPGs I've never really had any problems and thought they were quite bug free. However Shallie has been very well documented for having crashes and freezes occur during gameplay so I'd have thought that would have been a big focus when localising it. To find that it's releasing with crashing still in the game is pretty unfortunate, it didn't sell too well in Japan and with shit like this happening it can only hurt the release internationally too.

When will GUST finally announce a new game? I can't wait.

KTE is rusing you, there's no Surge Concerto logo on the JP box.

Although it would be funny if their first PS4 game reveals that they're actually the same universe, and has Ion and Nero landing in the Dusk setting, which turns out to actually be an alternate timeline of Earth, or something.

>>13171407
More likely: KT's marketing department is incompetent and knows jack shit about GUST's games.

>There has been a minor issue reported for Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea:

>The "Growth System" - unlocked when a player reaches level 40 (around 10 hours in)- freezes when opened. Gust is working on a solution to this problem but in the meantime it is recommended that players do not access this system when prompted and that they save their game after the completion of the tutorial.

>This has no serious effect on the player experience.

>Please keep checking our website and official channels for more information and updates.

It really bothers me that you can't move the camera up and down. Also you can't get it close to the character. The camera just feels weird.
Also the alchemy system is way too complicated. I prefer the simpler ones. But that's probably just me being retarded.

Who are you guys playing as? I like the green Shallie. The other one seems like a really nice girl, but she's a little boring.

>>13173348
They obviously have to patch this. Just hope we get it in less than a week.

>>13173350
The black haired one is better for a first run through of the game since she can synth better items to bring into NG+. But yeah, she's not as interesting.

>>13173499
I never do NG+, so green works for me I guess. I really like 元気+貧乏 characters, so that's perfect.

Discovered something very strange.

Linca sells a book containing recipes for Supplements - Black, White, Yellow for 3500 cole. Level 26 book.

It disappeared after I started chapter 4. So it seems like a good idea to save up 3500 cole and buy it before finishing chapter 3.

>>13173532
What they mean by better for ng+ is she shrinks your alchemy items. It's just as valuable the first time through.

Should have known. Not sure if I'm glad or disappointed though, more Surge Concerto is always welcome.

I know I shouldn't be relieved that I'm not going to be picking this up, but Atelier's heavy synthesis focus never really appealed to me.

Shallie is pretty comfy even though the life tasks are confusing as fuck.

Having all the time in the world to synth the perfect gear is pretty fun. And I really enjoy the puzzle-like aspects of synthing in E&L and Shallie.

>>13174937
Damn, was Renall actually that busty in-game?!

It was established a thread or two back that yes, Renall is the Soreil's stealth tittymonster, matching or possibly even beating Kanon and Zill.

>>13177147
She should be like the Child of Light in AT1, the more you battle her the stronger she get. Still if you Perfect everything you could go on indefinitely.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. You want them to do a full regression test on the patched game, which should involve several full playthroughs.

(I suspect they don't do this for the English version -- the programmers probably aren't fluent.)

Does anyone know the trigger for Nelico coming to visit while Ion is out?

I got to the end of chapter 9 and felt like I have been missing a lot, so I've spent the past two weeks catching up on recipes, dates and talking to Ion for any extra conversations. I can tell that I'm still missing a lot of Nerico's visits, but she comes so infrequently.

>>13179936
I only played the online version, but basically just send Ion out to gather one item. Nelico visits when Ion is away for 99% of her events, so just send her out on a short errand.

>>13179976
Yeah, I suppose the best way is just to send Ion out repeatedly to the garden. Nerico seems to visit once in every 3 or 4 outings, so seems like it'll be taking a bit of time.

>>13179936
I don't want to sound like a troll, but how am I supposed to play this game?

Am I supposed to have it on on my desk while I'm doing other shit to trigger events, or do I check in whenever I think enough time has passed to repair a story section?

And speaking of the story, around what chapter do things start to actually happen? Right now, I've only repaired the tree and the events are boring me out of my mind (part of the reason is the sheer amount of minutes it takes to open up the game, navigate the dream world, sit through the loading screens just to assign fairies to a loading bar)

It seems like Ion has nothing to talk about, I never know when she's eating, there are no actual menu options beyond "make me a sandwich," and I don't really feel immersed or engaged...

please advise; I really want to like this game, and I feel like there's something I'm not getting

Replaying AT3 right now. I first played it when the english version first came out.

The problem is this, I went for a Finnel end for my first playthorugh but now that I am replaying to whole game from scratch I realized that I still like Finnel way more than Saki and I do not want to do a Saki route over her just for the sake of completion. Saki is like having a special kid around.

At least the discrepancy between Saki and Finnel isn't as large as the one between Aurica and Misha.

I actually felt similar to you when I started it.

Did you get the offline version? If so, you can just move time yourself instead of waiting, makes things much better (to me, anyway).

The game will give you more options as you go on. You'll unlock date areas to go to with Ion, and her dialogue options will increase (although you can still tell they are fairly limited).

I find making the food items rather uninteresting, but making things from the other 4 categories is good, since you get to have a chat with Ion about it right after she finishes.

Storywise, I would say it has been on average getting better chapter by chapter, so definitely hang in there.

I'd also say it isn't the type of game you'd sit down with for hours and hours on end. I've actually been playing it since November, for a bit each day.

Oh, and make sure you do the Quasar thing each day, since you can unlock date spots through it.

Just go with 2:1 heart ratio on Saki then branch off to the Tilia or Cocona routes. This allows you to get Saki Normal/True, Tilia Normal/True and Cocona without much effort on a single save file. Alternatively you can go with the Akane route. ;_;

>>13182654
I'll just do a 2:1 ratio with Finnel and redo her entire route, after playing a while I felt even more certain that I didn't care about Saki. The first time I played I did a 3:0 ration with Finnel.

I'll do Cocona's and Tyria's after that.

>AT3 has nothing.
I like AT3 a lot, probably tied for my second favorite game in the series. It has one of my favorite casts, I like the purge system (main reason most of the non weeb internet shits one it), Finnel is my second favorite heroine in the series, I like the personae idea and execution, and I feel the songs are better overall than AT1. If I were to pick my top 10 favorite songs in the series I think 4-5 would be from AT3. Take that with a grain of salt because I love alll the games a lot, probably the only JRPGs I play outside of the Atelier series.

AT2 has the most consistency. By that I mean that the average song is better than most of the other ones from the other games. Best game in the series easily.

Also AT3 and ArNo are tied for the best "Are you winning son?" moments in the series.

Shallie crafting is pretty fun. I like how endgame crafting using chains like pic related is different from the early-mid game. It's still not trivial though, because you need ingredients with a lot of synthesis frames.

All these puzzle aspects are really fun to figure out and break.

Yeah, it's an improvement in everyway. In E&L, the crafting becomes trivial in end game since you can just double-add dunkelheits or whatever and get all attributes.

In the Offline version she comes once every time Ion goes out, but not straight away. Once Ion leaves advance time to around the midway mark for "Away" and leave your Vita open for a minute or two.

>>13204448
>Once Ion leaves advance time to around the midway mark
Why not just leave your Vita? Nelly still comes by in a minute or so, no need to advance time.

>>13204482
The wiki says she won't come immediately for the Offline version. I've had times where I waited 5 minutes+ from the start of Ion leaving and she wouldn't come, but would come if I moved time forward a little and waited a minute or two then.

Of course you can always just wait the whole thing out, but if you're trying to trigger multiple conversations with her it's more efficient.

>>13205021
That's weird as fuck because it works for me.

>>13205021

She kind of trolls you on visits too. If you're due a Nelico visit she can come sometime in the first 5 minutes, but sometimes she'll wait till the middle or even end of Ion's errand time.

Does she really come every time?

I usually set the time to right before Ion returns, and I've had Nelico visits before Ion comes in.

Just tried setting it halfway (5 mins into the 10 mins of 近くの庭) and waiting, but no Nelico visit.

The past week I've just been sending Ion out repeatedly to try and get Nelico visiting, I want to catch up on her events before I make the wedding ring.

I am just asking YOU because this general seems still reasonable and could have an easy migration.
Have an easy day either way.

>>13205882
Now that I think about it, maybe one of the conditions for her to show is that a certain about of time passed since her last visit. She definitely did come every time for me, but I did all the Nelico visits in between the crafting for the terminate pack, so there would have been hours I'd forwarded between some of them.
Are you sending Ion out multiple times in a row and not doing anything between them? If so that might be your problem.

>>13205925
Gust threads have been around since /jp/'s creation. They are not a consistent 'general' either, they pop up when a new Gust game comes out and then die off for the most part until a new game comes out.

I think you should refrain from talking about what 'we' need on /jp/ if you don't even know Gust threads.

>>13205946
Yeah, maybe that is it.

I had a period of just crafting things to try and catch up, but didn't send Ion out too often (because I thought that I was up to date on Nelico's visits).

So now I'm left with some food still to make, and not much else. Hopefully Nelico will start appearring more often for me, I don't want to progress the story much before marriage, in case I miss any events from that.

Or maybe I should just give Ion a lot of free time then, I did work her a bit hard before.

Have you made all the 重要 items so far? If not it'd be a very good idea to use crafting those as your time killer. I left crafting them until the end and I regretted it so much. So, so much.
If you have that done then just craft a bunch of the more common ingredients needed for crafting big items.

Have you seen these threads? This thread was started on March 11th. We've had 122 posts in 9 days. And this is one of the fastest GUST threads I've seen so far. This thread frequently reaches the later pages of /jp/; it wouldn't stand a chance of surviving beyond a few posts on /vg/.

>>13207352
(For reference: I just went to /vg/ and compared the last bump time to the last post time of the last thread on the board that didn't hit the bump limit; not posting for 1 hour and 40 minutes kills a thread there. Even if we'd spaced the 122 posts perfectly, we'd get one post every 1 hour 46 minutes - just too slow to survive on /vg/. In practice, though, we constantly have hours-long stretches of no posts. Most GUST threads are slower than this one.)

>>13206001
Yeah, those were the only things I really kept up with.

I suppose I could craft some date items in preparation. Or some more 二極式整流真空管. I needed to catch up with plugins, and I must have made around 20 of them during that time.

Anyway, seems like it is gonna take a bit of time to catch up on Nelico events. Only visited two of the date spots with her so far, so still quite a few to go.

Although the worst part is that I won't be able to tell when I've caught up with the events. I suppose if I proceed with the marriage then I just need to wait for her to mention it on one of her visits to know I've caught up.

>>13216873
Considering we're 10 for 11 on heroines (albeit Cass only in her second outfit), and it could be 11 for 12 if you count both of Misha's forms, and 12 for 12 if you count Shurelia's appearance in Ar tonelico 2 and Ar noSurge, I'd say yeah. Very much Confirmed.

Got poked into finally checking out the Ciel noSurge soundtrack even though I wanted to wait for a copy of the game, and hot damn, I ONLY just noticed that the melody of 'To the Songless Hill' is super close to the melody at the start of Harmonics Eolia.

Also I like how the opening for Ar noSurge is a combination of both the opening song and possibly the most important song from Ciel, which is a nice touch.

By the way, I've been wondering, what does "Earthes" look like written in Keihan script?

>>13218233
>the melody of 'To the Songless Hill' is super close to the melody at the start of Harmonics Eolia

Makes sense if you consider the idea that they are both songs intended to establish the connection between EXA_PICO and our dimension so you can actually play the game, so the similar feelings would result in similar songs

TOTAL COMMAND doesn't pull any punches on the fluff detail.

When is GUST releasing AT+ and AT2+ for Vita?

Now here's a thought, how is Total Command going to retroactively explain the existence of the Ar tonelico games? We're Lyner, Croix, and Aoto all under some advanced Ar Cielan form of interdimend that had none of the sideeffects that messed up Delta so bad?

Does anyone know if Ar nosurge Plus is fully voiced? Or if Ciel nosurge Offline is? I have the chance of picking up both limited editions for 10k + shipping. For reference, I really enjoyed Ar tonelico 3 although I haven't played 1 or 2.

>>13220827

>>13221605
How? 10k + shipping is an incredible deal!

>>13221605

AT3 is the worst game of the series.

>>13221978
Could you please stop using any form of the word 'bad' together with Ar Tonelico in one sentence?

>>13222004
Worst is a relative term.

>>13220014
Looks like the anti-Luca brigade is out. She wasn't a slut and was completely justified for what she did to Croix, she had such a heavy heart. If she really was a bitch she would have never come out with it. Cloche was far more forward sexually than Luca was and probably would fall for about any guy as it never seemed like Cloche cared for Croix.

Luca was one of the sweetest heroines in the series.

>>13216391
Reading manga in Chinese weirds me out.

It is, but they're secondhand copies. And it's going to be more like 13k after shipping.

Voicing in Ciel Offline after the first chapter is DLC, I am told. I haven't checked on the Japanese PSN to verify this.

>>13222290
Have you not searched yourself?

Ciel is fully voiced, voices after the first chapter are DLC.

Ar is partially voiced like all of the AT games.

>>13220923
While it would be cool and would explain why we can see and control what's going on to match with Surge Concerto, it has a pretty big hole:

Who would have put the interdimend on them?

>>13220923
AT has nothing to do with interdimend though.

>>13222653
Same universe, same rules apply; how are we controlling Lyner, Croix and Aoto if not for something similar?

>>13222633
You could say that Shurelia got the idea from Delta's visit and worked on something similar herself, and then put it on Lyner when she sent him after the Purger Hymn Crystal, and then Mir stole it and used it on Croix at some point just before AT2 starts to help her plan to get her hands on a Heart of Gaia... but then that chain of thought falls apart when it gets to Aoto

>>13222689
>Same universe, same rules apply; how are we controlling Lyner, Croix and Aoto if not for something similar?
In SC you are actually part of the game, in AT you are just playing the game.

Going to replay AT1 and after that AT2. No dilemma for those two, I like Luca and Cloche the same. I wouldn't consider Aurica is she was the last heroine on earth so I will just replay Misha's route, then Shurelia's. Man, my GPA will suffer.

Is there any chance Atelier Ayesha Plus will go on sale anytime soon? Atelier Rorona Plus went on sale at 50% off only a couple months after release (my Vita is Europe region), but I don't know how common this kind of stuff is. I want to play it, but 40 euros is a pretty steep price...especially considering I'm not sure if I'll like it enough (I liked Totori and Meruru enough for that price point, but wouldn't want to pay that much for Rorona).

>>13226424
Ayesha for PS3 is cheap, and the Plus version isn't that worthwhile.

Give it a few months... but I feel like Rorona+ got the sale early just so it could be sold along with the other Arland games on sale.

>>13226670
Though Plus does have dual audio. Personally I got used to the Ayesha dub but I'm glad E&L had dual audio because I hate dub Logy's voice acting.

>>13226686
>>13226670
Yeah, it's mainly the dub that stops me from getting the PS3 version. Is there any way to turn voices off completely (an option I tend to prefer over listening to a shitty dub)?

>>13226670
You say the plus version isn't that worthwhile - how much would I be missing if I played the PS3 version rather than the Vita version? Also, I heard performance was pretty bad in the Vita version, but so was Meruru PS3 - how well does the game run on PS3 compared to Vita?

>>13226836
I'm pretty sure there's a option for voice volume but google around just to make sure.

>>13226836
Just wait for the Vita version to drop in price if you want voices that much. I wouldn't want to cut out part of the game by disabling voices entirely. Ayesha dub was alright, but it's less than 30% dubbed.

Maybe you should look into getting PSN account of another region, especially considering that PSN sales usually aren't global.

>>13226855
I actually wouldn't mind having no voices that much, I just don't want to hear annoying dub voices. If Vita has no other real advantages over the PS3 version, maybe I should pick up the PS3 version instead.

>>13226912
The problem is that you can only have one account on a Vita. I do have alternative American and Japanese accounts on PS3.

>>13226912
Wait, what the actual fuck. That offer seems to be available in my country, but I wasn't able to find it before despite searching (separate searches) for 'Atelier' and 'Ayesha' AND looking at the 'Playstation Plus' category on my Vita. The Playstation Store really is the worst. Thanks for posting that image, anon, or I would've never found out about it.

>>13227041
>>13227032
No problem, /a/non.
By the way, you can have two accounts on a Vita, just not at the same time (anymore. Sony removed that feature in Vita firmware v1.80).
You can minimize the time spent on changing accounts by using account-specific memory cards, ejecting the memcard before restoring a Vita and inserting it during the unskippable intro video to skip it (turning Vita off during the intro and back on to skip it works as well).
US account on a Vita is almost a necessity nowadays, moreso on a non-US Vita.

I wish I had time to play all of these great games... Currently working through CnS, very slowly.

1. You can turn off the voices entirely. I thoroughly enjoyed the game like that.
2. You can get the undub patch if you have a CFW.
3. Import Japanese.

Where can I get the AT2 fan translation patch and what region of iso do I need?

>>13229761
Use Google and read their instructions. All the info is on their page.

>>13229761
If you don't have any AT2 ISO at all, download the undub: Ar_Tonelico_II_Melody_of_Metafalica_USA_UNDUB_PS2DVD
It's also included in PS2 Undub Project torrent:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:A835470AC84B9655546AAD56A5D63D1B1568626B
Otherwise you'll have to apply several patches depending on which ISO you start with:
EU -> US -> Undub -> Retranslation
Note that if you're going to dump your own DVD, NEVER use UltraISO. I recommend ImgBurn, although pretty much anything but UltraISO will do.

Patches can be found here:

Uh, did I just somehow miss this, or did my game bug out? Cass just wandered into the back of this scene at the very start of the game and started doing one of the synthesis dances...

Is it just me, or are the synthesis shops in Nosurge gated solely by what ingredients you have, rather than any actual story progression?

Are you emulating this? How?!

>>13246034
Sorry broski, just using a capture card.

More specifically an Elgato Game Capture HD, with an HDMI splitter box between the PS3 and the capture card to strip the HDCP (and so I can play games without having to fuck with HDMI cables or have the capture card plugged in all the time)

>>13245720
Assuming you played the game before, yes you missed it, and you already know why weird stuff is happening.

>>13245922
From what I've seen it's the former. You can synthesize to your heart's content but eventually there will be a recipe that needs ingredients that show up after the story opens up more areas.

I think this one is anpan. I'll dump some, but I hope someone has the full collection, since the mediafire link I found was broken.

This one is even more ripped than Luca's. Poor girl is suffering.

Not ragged, so it's a second generation. No points for guessing who it is, there's only one second generation left.

I think so.

I was trying to figure out this one, but I realized it's probably Cloche's

>>13247063
Seems likely, they did do the whole Sun/Moon motif with Cloche and Luca quite a bit

I just realized that Luca's port looks kind of like Metafalss. Then you realize that Luca is Frelia.

Are you fucking kidding me? How did I not notice that sooner?!

Total Command's setting game was always On Point

Where do these install port images come from? How do you know who they belong to?

>>13247114
They were traced from the Ar tonelico setting and art books by some kind anon in Gust threads long past

>>13246992
Sounds as bad as the Chinese bootleg I ended up with, when I made suspiciously inexpensive purchase on Ebay.

>Ar tonelico setting and art books
I haven't been able to find them in any official material.

On a similar note, Cloche's install port looks awfully like Replakia

>>13247219
This would be stranger since, technically, any IPD can take her role by being recognized by Infel and control Infel Phira.

>>13247243
It might be safe to assume that install ports can change. They do dynamically relocate if they're damaged, for example.

Also, both Finnel and Saki share the three point triangle + one extra point design, which implies that their install port changed after they accepted the wills into them.

Pic related.

>>13247282
Forgot, the small one at the bottom of Finnel's is probably Ar Ru.

>>13247282
Also notice that Finnel's looks like Mir's or Misha's, since they're all beta reyvateils, but Saki's is different since she is a gamma sublimate.

Sorry for spam-posting, but AT is just so good with all of these details.

This scene made me incredibly angry. Goddamn Lyner is a putz sometimes.
