What's the verdict
>>340438641
I too would like to know. I canceled my order from Amazon and decided I would wait a few days to see what people are saying first. You get a week to do the Prime deal I believe
>>340438641
It's an Atelier game, you know what you're getting, sir.
Bad combat, amazing crafting, super mild ecchi undertones. Rinse, repeat.
Kusou simplistic boring shit with HD PS2 graphics
same as all the other entries
>>340438641
Better than E&L and Shallie, Gust learned.
>>340440063
Correct romanization is "kuso," クソ
>>340438641
Why is logy a blacksmith in that game?
>>340441568
Why not?
>>340441712
It doesn't take place in the same world as Dusk, so his appearance is like Pamela's.
>>340442490
Rather, I meant why shouldn't Logy be a blacksmith in this game. I understand my post was unclear
Speaking of Pamela, she's back after being absent from Dusk
The /v/erdict is to wait for PC release.
>>340442752
>PC Atelier
I wish
>>340438641
Best one to start with? Want one that has a challenging time management... I only have a vita thou.
>>340438641
OnlyOnPlayStation/10
Which is somewhere between 0 and Hell.
Imagine playing Rorona for like the 8th time.
It's basically that.
>>340443242
None of the time management is difficult, but Rorona, Totori and Meruru have the most of it.
>>340438641
why is this series so boring?
is it really hard to make an JRPG with good gameplay/battle system, interesting boss battles and cute girls?
>>340442662
No, that was my bad, I quoted the wrong post.
>>340443695
How is the battle system bad
>>340443826
it feels generic
I like the game, but I feel like i'm doing something wrong with it.
I'm past the 3rd memory now but i'm still using the starting armor and weapons and every new enemy I encounter plays the "strong enemy" battle theme.
Even after unlocking Logy I still can't make any better weapons than my starters.
>>340443878
Its not as bad as Dragon Quest
>>340443735
Seeing as how when you talk to Oskar in town he asks if you've blown anything up lately, he totally deserves that.
>>340443918
You can make new weapons pretty soon from there.
>>340443695
If you're not playing this series for the autistic crafting and comfy SoL then it's simply not the series for you
>>340443918
Once you unlock the recipes for different ingots you can make better shit, and doing Leon's side quest will open up armor crafting.
>>340443473
I've never played any of them (though I have Rorona+ on my vita backlog) so what is it like for a newb player?
>>340444968
Atelier as a franchise is more of the same with each installment with new characters and some minor tweaking of mechanics.
If you like the mechanics and "style" of at least one entry then you're bound to like all of them to some extent.
>>340444968
The game is similar to NepNep in the gathering and battle aspects, then is closer to Persona 4 in doing events. There's not an overall bad guy and most of your time is spent making items.
>>340445396
It's not similar to nep at all.
>>340445681
Run around a field with monsters and press a button to swing your weapon and get first attack. Go to designated item areas and gather a random item. It's the same damn thing.
>>340443508
Thanks anon!
>>340445975
By that logic then persona plays exactly the same as the other two
Atelier doesn't have you running around in the battle arena.
Wait, did they replace Hagel with Logy as the blacksmith? No more baldness?
>>340446667
Hagel wasn't in Dusk either, anon.
>>340446935
True but he has been there since the Iris series but he kinda just slipped my mind.
>>340445975
>Crafting is completely different
>Neptunia has no time system
>Neptunia has scouts
>Battle systems couldn't be less similar aside from being turn based
>Gathering in Atelier is much more in the forefront, with way more nodes per map
>Each node is based on the map, not an individual item table
>Typically way less grinding in Atelier to the items you want, because there's no 0.01% bullshit
>Neptunia writing is based around meta humor with likable characters and some shitty plot drama from time to time (with humor mixed into the serious dialogues)
>Atelier writing is based around a fun, lovable cast with plot involvement ranging from game to game
Persona is the same as Atelier and Neptunia, then. Quake and UT are basically the same game. Overwatch and Battleborn are literally the same game!
There's a lot more that gives a game it's identity than looking at the surface, you know.

That font is too tall, it'll bug me forever.
