Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia 1&2
was really good on the PS2

Chris3995301d ago

I'm officially hyped for this game. The in game graphics and cell-shaded/ watercolor/ anime look of everything is simply breathtaking.

Can't wait for this.

awesome I love the artstyle.cant wait for all the rpgs to arrive in europe.

Feral Gamer5301d ago (Edited 5301d ago )

Is it me or do JRPGS all look similar?

ShinGundam5301d ago

No , In this game you protect girls called Reyvateil
and make ٍSong synthesize(or Building music?) that is
what makes it different

Redempteur5301d ago

Ar tonelico has a distinct setting ( herited from atelier series but with key song elements )and is now a série where you won't find many copies of it ..

Ar tonelico manages to mix .. rpg , visual novel style , and a awesome BATTLE SYSTEM based on music and songs ...

lonestarmt5300d ago

not its not just you, but you are wrong to think they all look the same. To me and lots of people, JRPGs look very different. Sci-fi FPS all look the same, and there really isn't any difference in art style or characters from fallout to borderlands to rage, to quake to gears of war. Its all dark,rural, and mostly gray.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel - Review by ToS

This series is your standard RPG with strong guys and cute girls, who this time become more powerful the more they strip. The storyline and characters are fine, if not a bit generic and the battle system is actually fun, but not very challenging.

Sounds like a Japanese-ass Japanese RPG to me (as good or bad as it may sound).

If I may... You referenced a few other RPGs in your introduction and, while hardcore JRPG fans may understand what you're trying to say, it can detract from your review. I haven't played Cross Edge, but I have tried Atelier Rorona so I have an idea what you're trying to say.

At the very least, link the reviews to those games you mention so reading can be smoother. And hey, you'll probably get more clicks as well!

stop being a stupid troll please.

I invite constructive criticism. Your comment, however, was just immature and thoughtless. Thank you for that.

OtakuStudy4504d ago

Hey Dan,

Sorry I thought I replied earlier but it seems like my post didn't get through. Thank you for the suggestion, I can understand it would have been hard to understand the beginning paragraph so I implemented the changes.

Review: “Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel” (PlayStation 3) | Inside AX

"When I first picked up the Ar tonelico series on the PlayStation 2 on a whim, little did I know exactly what I was getting myself into. Sure, it had moé characters along with the infamous catchline, “you never forget your first” but the series completely flew under my radar. Although Gust’s Atelier series had been out, I was never really into the “girlish” look of the series nor their products. However, after I purchased Ar tonelico I was honestly amazed by the company’s j-rpg title. Not only was it a nice throwback to the Super Nintendo 16-bit era, where character development and storylines superseded graphics, but the music was absolutely gorgeous. Needless to say, I became an instant fan of NIS America and Gust as they began to carry the torch, along with Atlus, as the premiere j-rpg developers."

RPGSite - Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel Review

Look ma, there's underaged girls on my screen and dey be undressing. But see? They're only drawn that way, so I'm not a total creep. And look, the game is pretty good as well.

So, what I'm hearing is that, like the other Ar Tonelico games, this is very, VERY Japanese.

Karuto4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

As Japanese as warm sake doused on the head of a young child in a school uniform wrapped in sushi on a bamboo board.

Been waiting along time for this game have the game playing the hell out of the game. Saki does get a little annoying at times specially when she talks in the 3rd person. Too me it feels like the took what was wrong in the second game and fixed it by making the game feel like your playing the first game again. I hope this is not the final installment of the game if it is its a very good trilogy i got to enjoy very much. What NIS and Gust should do is rerelease the first and second game as an HD collection for the PS3 like Sony did with God of War so other people can enjoy the Ar Tonelico franchise and the voice of Akiko Shikata.

Karuto4786d ago (Edited 4786d ago )

Gotta say, I did develop a crush with Soma. That girl be fiiiine. I don't know about HD releases, but if they had a PS2 channel on the PSN like they do with the PSOne game rchives, that'd be enough for me.

Neckbear4786d ago

I believe you enjoyed that certain Soma uninstall scene, then? Heh.

Also, I like Sakia better, myself.

Honestly, Sakia's the only reason I'm doing Saki's route at this moment.

Starting to regret said choice considering the third reyvateil just joined me, however.

Knightofelemia4785d ago

Soma is great I chose Finnels route but I still like installing and cosmosphere diving into Aurica better and Lady Shurelia alot more that Tyria

CaptainGreece4786d ago

This game is awesome and ain't a gay FPS. Loving it and when you buy the game it comes with extras. I'm winning more then Charlie Sheen.

coryok4786d ago

im still playing older rpgs but when i finish them ill definitely pick this up, sounds fun

Karuto4785d ago

Absolutely! I feel there is alot here to enjoy, especially if you get over some of it's shortcomings.
