Saw "No" and "Kuni" and my heart started pumping, thinking something had been announced about Ni No Kuni 2. Then I non-dyslexically read the title and was so disappointed

I honestly can't see what you're trying to say here(also the Nepu series sucks for Yuri fans, it's just teasing about how Noire/Uni are in love with Neptune/Nepgear right?), I'd like to think that we can trust Gust on this one.
and really I need more yuri/yaoi whatever the hell in my games.

I think many people here entered this thread because of the misreading.
Surely you can see the difference between superficial teasing and an actual yuri relationship. I'll be honest and say I haven't played Neptunia but nothing I've seen of it suggests anything more than cheap fanservicy yuri subtext. It's certainly not the kind of yuri I am looking for.

I'd say the Arland Atelier had some pretty heavy undertones of yuri, though that was a much more comedic game than what this one looks to be tonally. Though for this game I think the most Gust will go for is a heavy "imply", more than anything else. Character art and "assets" aside Gust is pretty prude with romance depictions. It's been a long time but I don't think anybody ever even kisses in the Ar Tonelico games, where the romance is big part of the game.
One screen shot out of how many shows the heroine like that. I could be wrong later down the road with dlc costumes or something but considering thats the only shot like that... Oh I don't know, there could be some story significance behind it? Like she just awoken or in a dream.
lol so this is one of those games

yo that music on the website is so legit, give this me to now, save us Tecmo Koei
lol, what the hell are you talking about? there's a very minuscule amount of yuri in neptunia, not to mention devs certainly don't use yuri with that in mind so i don't really know where you got that idea from

Not crazy about the character designs or art (it's better than a lot of recent stuff though...), but it sounds like it could have interesting gameplay. Wonder how long it will take before we see a gameplay trailer. Doubt I'll want this but I'm curious right now.
considering that the game is releasing in 3 month, we should see it soon..

Wow a Japanese RPG where a girl shows some skin. Inexcusable, we should really talk only about that for the rest of the thread.
I hope the game is good and gets localized quickly. I believe in KT. Everything looks great so far.

they do the same with atelier as well, iirc shallie was announced in march/april and released in july
Well that's Ar tonelico and more so Ar tonelico 3 that just went all out stupid. Ar nosurge dialed it back to more optional stuff. This isn't that.

GUST tends to have really rapid turnarounds between announcement and publication, especially with their Atelier series. Compared to the big name RPGs they probably don't require several million copies to break even and don't have to work to generate a hype machine.
Frankly I'm not really sure how GUST stays in business. The JPN sales numbers don't look all that impressive for most of their games and I doubt they move more than 10k units in the US. While I'm glad they keep translating them I worry that sooner rather than later somebody with a calculator is going to find there's no money in the foreign market.
they most certainly do much more than that

Yeah, hopefully it comes over to the US pretty quickly too.

Come on.
As someone who doesn't mind stuff like this, I completely understand why a lot of people do. I like my cheesecake and skin-revealing outfits but I certainly recognize it's problematic elements.
People need to stop trying to justify the shit that developers do regarding sexualizing female characters and just go "Yeah, it's pretty problematic and we need better female characters/designs in the game world but I also like titties so I'm gonna buy this." I'm sure a lot of people's reactions to people saying they like this would be less hostile if there was less making shit up or really reaching justification for just enjoying fan service. Just enjoy it and realize that people can find it offensive and have pretty good reason to.

Hmm, if it's actually yuri I hope it's a proper romance story instead of the implied stuff that is trotted out so often.
Since they are the main characters and they are the ones being focused on, i'm assuming that to be the case. It would be nice to see a change up of traditional roles, the second PS4 game to adopt a more diversified relationship palette outside of Left Behind of course.
...Of course, it has to be good. If its just going to be fanservicey sclock like certain Japanese works do, they can keep it.

hm...looks like Play Asia has the super ltd edition...i'm tempted to get it, but I don't want to be hosed, be told that they can't get it, and can't get the normal ltd edition anymore at that time...Really looking forward to this though!
Does anyone know which language the music is in, or fictional language?

It's not just Gust. Japanese pop media is pretty bad with this relationship thing. A cliche so beaten down into the ground I wonder if it's a cultural barrier or if Japan allows so many hack writers to stay in business.
Has Fatal Frame or Deception ever handled subject matter of this kind? It's probably much better to look at those, rather than Gust's other work. Gust is such a small team and so much of the work is outsourced, that the games probably get shaped almost entirely by the person incharge of the title.
Way too many folks instantly leap on this especially the western audience that's either insecure or puritan. When you see comments like a reviewer feeling insecure about playing omega quintet in front of his girlfriend, it's just laughable.
And personally I'm not reaching. My first reaction besides her clothing wad seeing her expression. Looking dazed. But maybe it is an actual outfit and I am wrong. But when more than half of the replies are all snark about the fanservice. ESPECIALLY when it's only one shot of the bunch,you know it's some ridiculous overreaction. That's not really contributing any discussion pertaining to the actual merits of the title.
I don't think pop media in general is very good with romance. The only times they tend to be convincing is if a lot of it is dealt with off screen.
True I suppose but I'm referring to the specific kind of pussyfooting around that's very characteristic specifically of Japanese production.
Like... Like this.
Rykomatsu you can order the gust editions from isukado game shop. They partner with Ar tonelico community "A reyvatiels melody"hm...looks like Play Asia has the super ltd edition...i'm tempted to get it, but I don't want to be hosed, be told that they can't get it, and can't get the normal ltd edition anymore at that time...Really looking forward to this though!

I honestly thought it would be a sequel, then I clicked the link.

That's not really pussy footing. THat's basic "serialized series common sense 101". The entire point is not to bring out the pot of gold early. Its intended to be bait from the start to keep people reading indefinitely, even though it has a negative effect if its not done correctly.
I like series either where its developed from the start into something you know is going to happen down the line, or something is obviously going on even before the series starts and your just getting snippets of something unsaid(like my favorite series of all time, chrno crusade. what a great manga)

I don't know if you're joking or not.
This works off the assumption that confirmation of a romance is the end of it. Which I guess makes for an arc but that's just not really true is it? Nothing's more annoying than holding on to status quo because you can't come up with an idea, but it also creates the grounds for these kinda stretches to become cliche and expectancies. It's basically as unfulfilling as... well, let's not get into awkward analogies. These kinda things happen in non-serialized stories as well, just as often.

It's a Gust game. Noone would expect less lewdness than that.
I would say that the fact that the Deception guy is making this is what makes it a given. Have you seen some of the designs from Deception 4?
...
I like it. A lot. I'm always a sucker for well developed redheads. Some of the Titania (from FE9/10) fanart...*sweats*
I don't think they revealed the director. Only 2 producers and character designer as far as I know.

The premise sounds interesting after reading the translated info. I assume there will be multiple endings based on the part about making decisions towards the end of the article.
The art looks great and I'm hoping they show off some gameplay footage soon.
