Atelier Shallie info thoughout the thread...

*phew* there done ready for posting viewing and replying
although its pretty frikken huge

Yeah they are good brill boss battles good soundtack and multi endings.
Unfortunately there are lolis most ateliers with the main's though
The Iris Series On Ps2 has Guy mains somewhat (but hell they still cost quite a bit even for PS2 games...)

Though i assume for the PS3 not 2 right  

hmm
Totori's a loli no doubt
Rorona's a loli
Meruru's a loli ...kinda?

What about ayesha? Though ..? i dunno is she a loli?
Willbell (her friend)is a loli so is nio (her missing sister)but thats it
heres some gameplay or its more the first 25 mins i think

Although its EN dubbed only, It pretty much kicked up a storm with the "so called fans" lol. though i find nothing wrong with the voices
maybe they're ears went bad heh.

Meruru plus is certainy a lot more harder than before with the DLC now added and the trophy for the DLC area

Plus for escha and logy
logy is supposed to have a darker past and history but i wonder how gust might en corporate that?

See i have a problem with lolis anime characters should be like this (because girls need realistic proportions and my games need realism):

Lol isnt that a little too large.
Ah well i cant really think of any anime games with MC's or majority characters like that
Although perhaps you can still try an atelier game...though i dunno if the whole time management thing would appeal to you also.

It's hypnotic. Are you getting it?

Lol i get it
but i'll just say something crazy anyway i bet thats where she store's all her magic... assuming of which you intend to get dragons crown right?

I ordered it already its on its way.  If you wanna get it and coop let me know although you really should get a headset.  I guess we can use skype or something similar.  I think playstation eye can work as a microphone to talk to people to although we'll hear everything.  preorder came with ab artbook.

I'm assuming the sorceress is immune to all blunt damage from the front.

I was planning on getting it for the Vita as it lacks any more games ATM but i may get it for PS3 i dunno a lot of game still need to be done
Though i have to wonder do you find it easier to use a headset rather than typing?
I personally never liked using one especially on the 360 but if i did.... it wasnt to say hi lol


Yes i assume the Sorceress is as well as immune to back pain or speed problems lol

the latest patch in japan (its not in the west yeat) allows crossplay between vita and PS3.

I see.... then perhaps i ought to wait till that patch arrives here but that would take a while wouldnt it...
well i'll wait and till it comes out

As i assumed no one playing these games made you die a little on the inside. I decided to get atelier ayesha I think. It says something about dusk and hasa girl at sunset on the cover.

TTB bought the really fruity game where it looks like a candy shop vomited on a girl in a flower shop.

Isnt that a bit harsh?
But none the less its pretty good around it shouldnt take that long to plat depending on your speed
You can aviod the optional bosses or DLC bosses till later

Anyway speaking of plats
http://psntrophyleaders.com/user/view/BLKChaosDragon/atelier-meruru-plus-the-apprentice-of-arland-psvita/1
Im actually surprised that very few people have been been to finish meruru
i mean they only up scaled the difficulty a lot and made the bosses a lot harder so what gives?

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/10/24/atelier-escha-logy-will-have-dual-audio-voice-tracks-in-the-west/
You know if TK are gonna do that why isnt warriors orochi 3 not in EN or Fist of the North 2?

I bought Atelier Meruru is there anything I need to know going into the game.

Well nothing much when you get started but somtimes its best to read ahead a little after all there is time managment
but you'll never really feel time stressed there is quite a bit after all play how you want and you can get all the ends on one playthough if ya want

I used this guide to plat
http://www.gamefaqs.com/vita/696379-atelier-meruru-plus-the-apprentice-of-arland/faqs/64437
you dont need to follow this exactly i just used it as a qucik basis on what i could use my spare time on and finish the next assignment and stuff even if you're behind on it there stills lotsa time   

Also a few side notes
This is actually harder than the ps3 version beefed up enemys (more trophys too and EX enemys of course there is a sure fire way to beat em   )
toned some ally characters down lias and rufus as well as gio i think
The spelling errors are still in the game, like when it says "ultimate" trait there is no ultimate trait. i think it was finest goods (you know i though koei might have  fixed error but they didnt heh)
plus dont use the DLC added addtion characters (Rufus Hanna Pamela) for like story reasons. You can if you want but there may be a story related event with them thats why.
theres new added traits (one really broken one too lol) and stuff new teir of weapon
you can use any character  or if you dont want to use em just do a friend assignment
Gio is only avaliable during new game plus so is the true end

oh ok thanks a lot man. If i need to play new game + i'll probably not use a guide for my first run, except to help with alchemy, which is way too complex for me to get my head around.

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/06/atelier-ayesha-plus-adds-new-boss-hard-mode/

This is great I really liked Marion. I hope they get friendship quests added in as otherwise it would seem like a huge waste putting them in your party early. Hard mode would be a nice change for new game+. That ultimate dragon transformation would most likely be impossible for me I didn't even bother with it on the PS3 version and opted to kill him quickly.

Cool looking forward to this naturally another great addition to the PS vita library and yup i agree with th freind points too although for me its probably prefer odelia slightly
and oh yeah that huge black dragon .... he was a real pain i did pummel him in though but if he had any more health it would be a disaster ( so yeah i aint gonna face that on hard too lol )
but those dlc bosses were tough too
also the article states "panels" i wonder what they are....

I did like Odella there just weren't really much to her, Marion was pretty much the only intersting thinig about Linca. I really couldn't stand Linca its a shame she has decent moves though.

Well yeah i guess but thats her charm though lol
well anyway it wont be long till escha and logy arrives ...march i think?
damn i have too big a backlog i hope i can clear it all out   

Way to go koei!
your twitter page totally reminded me that the sequel is coming in just 2 days... great....*sigh*
.... I was hoping to finish up LOS2 as well, and im kinda screwed on the time department lol
