- Start date
Bought. Thanks.maomaoIYP said:
What's this by the way?
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4048687875/
Is it also an art book?
Will preorder the second the LE is up, loved Rorona, still craved more even after getting all the endings. This is supposedly much betterand borrows from the Iris and Mana Khemia games to deliver a more adventure-y experience
btw You guys probably shouldnt bother importing the artbooks if you dont know any japanese since they seem to actually be getting western releases these days. Just bought Rorona and Ar tonelico ones off Amazon yesterday

Game has a time limit to do things right?
This game feature usually keeps me away from playing games, i like to wonder around and take my time.

Gotta represent the show of the season after all!
Only between games that take place in the same setting. Totori takes place between Rorona and Meruru, but is related to none of the others.MoogPaul said:
If it's anything like Rorona you'll have more than enough time to do whatever you want.NeededSleep said:

I've never played any of the Atelier games. Are they akin to tradition jRPGs like Final Fantasy and/or the Tales series?
Is the game play heavily dependent on Alchemy? I thought that was a keystone if the Atelier aeries but I could be wrong.

There's very little required battling to be honest, though some of the later areas will kick your ass if you haven't battled anything. It's mostly Alchemy and Time Management with 14 endings depending on how you go about it. Hell, there isn't even a "final boss" really.
EDIT: Only speaking about Rorona, as I've not played Totori.

Nice, thanks for answers! Not sure if these games are for me. I think I really just need to get either Lost Odyssey or Tales of Vesperia to satisfy my console jRPG cravings.

Well, it is more like you have so many days to complete an assignment and it is up to you to choose how to accomplish that.
Generally, it isn't that bad to meet the assignments as you should have enough time to do everything that you would want to.
I'm not so sure about Totori though, as I don't think there is a flat assignment progression that Rorona has. There is more time in Totori though compared to Rorona.

Well, not so sure about Totori as there is an additional town in this game but in Rorona only making items and moving between maps cost time. Battling ,moving within town, fullfilling requests and other stuff won't cost time.
You'll see how much time it takes to make each item or in moving in between maps in a dungeon. I would say most of the time is spent just moving from map to map and from the dungeon to town and vice versa.
I would assume that in Totori it would be the same where item making and movement between town and dungeons and within dungeons cost time and nothing else.
there's enough time to do most things
but you'll wish there's more time for you to waste
esp if you want to get the most out of the game in 1 single play through
3 years
12 months
30 days a month
iirc, 1 action will take up an entire day, even if said action doesn't use up the full day
for example, crafting an item, takes 1/2 a day
you'll use up the whole day regardless if you make 1, or 2 of said item
moving to dungeons, and within them,will take up multiple days

That was a super cute trailer ^_^
Been looking for a PS3 rpg. This one has party members and turn based battles I hope? All the talk of alchemy worries me. It drove me nuts in DQ games! Does this game at least tell you in-game what all ya need to combine to make stuff or would I basically have to be playing with a faq loaded up right next to me?
Stuff like this also worries and confuses me @_@

It is more like AT3. There really isn't a need to move the camera. On the field, gathering spots are marked with a star in a bubble that it easy to see. The only thing I found trouble with was what part of the field I could walk on and could not, but that could just be due to Rorona's game.
Yes, plenty of party members and turn based battles. Starting with Totori, there is also a turn order that can be seen in battle as well. Alchemy is pretty simple, you have to find the recipes in game, and they tell you what items you need and how many you need.Lindsay said:
There isn't any really free-based alchemy and instead just follows the recipes that are in-game.
Lindsay said:
Dont worry about the alchemy, it's a key feature for a reason, it's a REALLY GOOD alchemy system and yes it has all the recipes and stuff ingame. Yes it's turn based with support attacks/defends for turn breaking. Yes you have a party and you interact a lot with them. There's either 8 or 10 playable characters I forget

Here are two importer impressions and reviews for you guys:
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/07/0...ving-the-life-of-another-alchemist-in-arland/ --Some glowing remarks from siliconera.
http://translate.google.com/transla...dventurer-of-arland/&sl=pt&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8 --And here's a review. The english is rough but you should be able to get the gist of what's being said. The reviewer gave the game a 9.
Here are two gameplay vids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6svCA5Rl5c --Battle!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo-UW3A4xeI&feature=related --Massive Desert. Huh? What's that in the distance? ...WHOA!!

I just gotta worry about that time stuff then? Thats cools I can maybe adapt. I like my rpgs gameplay as simple as possible and item creation is usually a pain! Guess a game based around it would have ta be simplified so thats good by me.
Spirit Icana said:
Please tell me that either a.) a boss battle b.) an item demo or c.) both and not an example of the length or regular random battles!

Day 1, I hope it does well enough so we can get Meruru.

That is most likely a boss battle. I don't think most battles would be that long or that dramatic either.

Oh you
must have loved the plot twist about Cocona in Ar Tonelico 3

Same here, aside from their really really idiotic statement about an older Rorona, Meruru looks like a great game.
