VGChartz writes: "Ar Tonelico 2 is a great game that is brought down to average by a few extremely poor qualities. The music is catchy, the gameplay is highly enjoyable and it has some of the best replay value in any JRPG I have played. However, the technical problems are also some of the worst I have ever seen, the faulty grammar is extremely annoying at times and the visual presentation is dated to the point that it looks like it could be from a previous generation of gaming. If the localization had been done well, and the visuals were updated, Ar Tonelico 2 could be a great JRPG. The storyline is there with a mix of humor and drama, and the battle system is interesting, but you'll have to wade through some pretty rough technical problems to make it through the entire game, which means I can only really recommend it to hardcore JRPG fans. Hopefully the next time an Ar Tonelico game gets localized to the states it will receive better treatment so that the game can become what it was always meant to be."
I (Robin Ek, TGG) was just informed that the Ar Tonelico 2 translation project (Project Metafalica) is now available for download. So don´t miss out on that one people.
This list takes a look at ten of the weirdest stories ever told in an RPG. From hilariously obscure historical references, to bizarre stories of time travel and alternate dimensions, none of these games could be accused of sticking to a tried-and-tested formula.
I didn't click next. I've never liked sites that can't post an article on one page. I'd much rather scroll down thank you very much.
I've long considered myself a JRPG fan, but for many years it was actually much more accurate to say that I was a Final Fantasy fan, devouring anything and everything Square-Enix put out with the Final Fantasy name on it. In the last couple of years or so, though, I've been exploring many of the less well-known delights of the genre, and making some wonderful, memorable discoveries in the process.
