Is this literally the best game ever made?
I'd kill for a hd remake of both games, or even just a re-release on steam & psn.

Why was the MK2 cast so unlikable and mean?
>>283821737
It's definitely the best Atelier game

No, that's not Shenmue 2.
>>283822108
excuse me
>>283821737
I finished that game confused as to whether I really enjoyed it or really disliked it.
>>283822460
It's a school focused Atelier series. Less focus on moe.
Mix Persona 4 with Atelier Rorona and make it sprite based and that's probably a reasonable approximation of the game.
If you can play the PS2 version, play that as for whatever reason, they lowered the resolution of the background sprites in the PSP version.

9/10
pros
>some the best turn based combat in a video game
>sweet ost
>funny characters
>pretty nice sprite animation
>alchemy is decent
cons
>starts off pretty easy, and gets even easier as the game goes on
>pretty average main plot
>dungeon design is very straight forward, and usually boring
>it's really annoying/tedious getting some of the late game ingredients for alchemy
>you make weapons and items in two different room for absolutely no fucking reason
>most of the side quests are just "you have to back to end of a dungeon you've already been to and fight something maybe"
You'll like it if you're into weebshit.

>Mix Persona 4 with Atelier Rorona
That doesn't make any sense because it was out before either of those games. It's more like Persona 3, mixed with FF10, and made by Gust.
>>283823092
I actually liked the PSP version better because the game is a lot more enjoyable to me on a handheld. Wish 2 got a PSP/Vita port.
>>283823272
It's a good description of how it plays, even if it isn't what influenced them when making it.
P3 x FFX hides the fact that crafting and gathering is still a major part of the game.
>>283823498
That's why I said made by Gust. But you'd need the knowledge of other Gust games.

Is there a mechanic where I can raise friendship level with characters? I don't need waifus I just like this mechanic
>>283823458
2 does have a PSP port.
Also, how did you stomach the 15 fps, the blurry everything and the even shittier loading times?
>>283823662
Yes.
>>283823813
Well I'm glad I downloaded it then. Thanks man.
Lack of Barrel spotted.
Ya'll fags.
BARREL!
Baaaaa~rrel

>>283823458
Yeah, it's great as a portable title, pissed we didn't get MK2
Missed out on all the PS2 alchemy games, MK1 was great but I'm worried the other ones with a bigger alchemy focus might feel too clunky after the PS3 ones.
>Chronos Materia hasn't been since since after it was first announced
>looked closer to MK than Atelier
>currently in development hell and unlikely to be released.
Sucks
>>283823696
Didn't know that finally got translated. Load times off a memory stick were fine, I never played the UMD so I can't comment on that. It was a turn based RPG so the framerate never bothered me, it's not like the original is some super gorgeous PS2 game in the first place.
WILL I BE ABLE TO USE SAMURAI SWORDS? I LIKE CHOPPING SHIT UP WITH KATANAS AND SHIT.
ARE THERE CLASSES/JOBS LIKE FF:TACTICS OR IS IT EACH CHARACTER HAS THEIR OWN SET OF SHIT?
>>283823696
PSP games on Vita with high speed cards load a lot faster.
>>283823920
Fuck this gay gust.
>>283824223
No they don't.
Just having it digital does ensure faster loading though, but that's even on a PSP.
>>283824214
>WILL I BE ABLE TO USE SAMURAI SWORDS? I LIKE CHOPPING SHIT UP WITH KATANAS AND SHIT.
Yes.
>EACH CHARACTER HAS THEIR OWN SET OF SHIT
This one.
Atelier Shallie underperforming means Gust will be revamping the series.
What are we expecting? Just much better looking games like the PS3 ones or are they going to overhaul the gameplay too?
Escatology made it pretty clear the time system is stale as fuck
>>283824531
I want them to go back to sprites.
Anna best waifu
>>283821737
Probably not, because I've never heard of it.
>>283824067
Its not, whoever was working on 2 translation gave up.
>>283823458
I liked to psp version as well, only thing I hate is that bug that stops you from getting the end game gears.

OHHHHHH BABY I FUCKIN LOVE WHEN IM RUNNING AROUND LIKE JIN FROM SAMURAI CHAMPLOO CHOPPING NIGGAS

The pros outweigh the cons.

>>283824982
You should consider sucking my dick.
>>283825113
no thanks anon I don't suck anything less than 4 inches my jaw will cramp up
>>283825432

>>283825432
Then you're in luck because I have a 10 inch solid snake
>>283823112
You can fuck your waifu?
>>283825973
You definitely fuck one of them. The other ones are not confirmed but probable.
>>283821737
No.
They were decent games, but there's no reason to act like they're GOAT-tier or anything close.
>>283826320
Whatever nerd.
