Durante said:Look at the ground texture!
Yeah to me it looks way better then this game. The textures aren't blurry or distorted when they're close up (most notably the ground), have some significant variety detail, etc. To me it looks much better then this game. Not to mention it has far better cellshading. What's your point?
Durante said:
"I'm not saying it looks like complete shit, but to say that this game looks "good" is really putting it at a stretch."
You just restated what I said. I stated that the game doesn't look that "good" and stated that it doesn't look like crap. Honestly are you reading my posts or just reading what you want to read?
"So me stating that my opinion of the game not looking all that hot and you claim that my post in this thread was to prove others wrong."
And how is that contradictory with this quote?
rykomatsu said:I dunno...I relate the word "passable" with "mediocre", not "visually pleasing"...each person's descriptors are subjective so that sounds like where some of the hangup's coming from
Probably. Hell I consider Skies of Arcadia and Banjo Kazooie to be "visual pleasing" to me "visual pleasing" means to be easy on my eyes and enjoyable. It doesn't really correlate with the game "looking good".
SolidSnakex said:
I understand that but that's my opinion. To me it doesn't look anywhere near "good" as to me "good" means significantly over the average which this game doesn't do. Maybe "good" for Gust standards but as I've stated multiple times that wasn't what I was going for.
I can understand if people say "I disagree" and give me other comparison pics and something similar but laughing at me and (at this point) ignoring me as they put out quotes in which I've already acknowledge and explained against me is just...damn.

Check out the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep CG (from KH2: FM) while you're at it. It's even better.

Looks good, the character models especially. Some of the areas seem a bit empty but that's no big deal.
Looking forward to it.

i got to be honest, i'm simply delighted that this, as far as i'm concerned, is gust's first major 3D title. It doesn't look too bad--like a really really lite Vesperia, or something. I'm intrigued; good to hear PS3 is getting some RPG lovin'.

They've always hosted images with similar sizes to Rorona's...just...not so many at one time (like 75+)
Dengeki had a 4 page ad spread for Rorona last week so Famitsu probably panicked a little and offered to do a "small" entry for Gust would be my guess.
Either that, or Gust was a bit worried about the comments flying around with people being a weary about Gust going 3D so jumped the gun and allowed famitsu to show the first set of screenshots.
Either way, next week's Dengeki should be great

I think it was earlier this week perhaps last. Still not as good as Watch, but it's better than those thumb size shots they had before.
What made me increasingly like Gust and look forward to their games over the past few years is that, in my opinion, each one markedly improves upon its predecessor. Especially concerning their battle systems.Quixzlizx said:
That said, the AI games (and MK, which is more or less a continuation of it) are quite different from AT, and I can easily see how someone would like one but not the other. While AI and MK focus less on alchemy than previous Atelier games (at least I heard that this is the case, I haven't played any other Atelier titles), they're still an alchemy / RPG mix. Conversely, the AT games are a lot more like a normal JRPG in terms of overall structure (excluding the graphic adventure / visual novel part for a moment) with just a dash of alchemy here and there.
Anyway, I also prefer the AT series to their other games overall, but the Atelier titles do get better and better and I enjoyed all of them to some degree.

bypassing cel-shaded game comparison discussion:
is this going to be an SRPG? i can't read japanese and the screens look like traditional turn-based. the art reminds me a lot of eternal sonata.
i feel kinda bad because these screens don't get me excited for the game- they make me want dark cloud 3 yesterday.

Well....there's Agarest Senki and Cross Edge and Disgaea....they're technically "HD"2D RPGs.
The high resolution 2D event scene artwork was really nice imho
Also...it looks like you might have the option of playing the game with event scenes in 2D or 3D...
Just speculation, but I find it odd that the same character would say the same quote twice..and it'd be odd for the text box in 2D mode to get morphed (would that be the term?) into a chat bubble...
I don't know why you'd think that. The Atelier games are published and developed by Gust themselves, so this engine and such is all Gust, and nothing from Bandai-Namco.rykomatsu said:
If it was Ar Tonelico 3, with the Banpresto joint, then perhaps NBGI might lend their engines for use.

The 3D "field" engine for MK1/2 and AT1/2 I believe were developed outside of Gust if I recall the credits correctly. Whether it was licensed from a 3rd party or developed by a 3rd party specifically for Gust, I'm not sure...but I don't think it's far fetched for any company to pay a license fee to use another company's game engine. i mean...it's done all the time in industry.
/shrug
As mentioned, the Ar Tonelicos were a collaboration project with Gust and Banpresto, so it wouldn't be strange if they had outside developers and tech.rykomatsu said:
And scrolling through the credits of Mana Khemia, there's mention of outside companies for CG work and stuff (probably contracted) but the main development still seems to be Gust.
That's a very interesting point, I didn't notice those 2 shots.rykomatsu said:
One other thing I just saw is that all the character artworks on Famitsu have <alt> tags, in most cases the name of the character - here is the text for each of the pictures (I really love the character artwork for this one, much more detailed than in any previous Gust game - or most JRPGs with 2D art, really):
"Rororina"
"Lionela"
"Hom_woman"
"Hom_man"
"Cuderia"
"Astrid"
So... Hom_woman/Hom_man?

This game looks great. Way better than Eternal Sonata or Vesperia. For my taste, it looks better than star ocean too, just not technically-speaking. I hope it plays more like the original AI.
Good idea! Given their similarity and (lack of) facial expression that might really be it.Yazuka said:
Well, at least unlike SO it will probably actually render its battles in HD!akachan ningen said:
I'd like overall sidequest/alchemy gameplay more like AI1 with a battle system and dungeon design more like their recent games.akachan ningen said:

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Woohoo, female lead.
Enough of a reason for me to give the game a chance.

Rorona looks alright. Nothing too awesome. I mean, I think that pretty much every game on the PS3 looks awesome. However, I'm just really excited since it is an RPG... on dah pstripple = bought day wun.
