RPGSite - Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel Review

Look ma, there's underaged girls on my screen and dey be undressing. But see? They're only drawn that way, so I'm not a total creep. And look, the game is pretty good as well.

So, what I'm hearing is that, like the other Ar Tonelico games, this is very, VERY Japanese.

Karuto4789d ago (Edited 4789d ago )

As Japanese as warm sake doused on the head of a young child in a school uniform wrapped in sushi on a bamboo board.

Been waiting along time for this game have the game playing the hell out of the game. Saki does get a little annoying at times specially when she talks in the 3rd person. Too me it feels like the took what was wrong in the second game and fixed it by making the game feel like your playing the first game again. I hope this is not the final installment of the game if it is its a very good trilogy i got to enjoy very much. What NIS and Gust should do is rerelease the first and second game as an HD collection for the PS3 like Sony did with God of War so other people can enjoy the Ar Tonelico franchise and the voice of Akiko Shikata.

Gotta say, I did develop a crush with Soma. That girl be fiiiine. I don't know about HD releases, but if they had a PS2 channel on the PSN like they do with the PSOne game rchives, that'd be enough for me.

Neckbear4789d ago

I believe you enjoyed that certain Soma uninstall scene, then? Heh.

Also, I like Sakia better, myself.

Honestly, Sakia's the only reason I'm doing Saki's route at this moment.

Starting to regret said choice considering the third reyvateil just joined me, however.

Knightofelemia4788d ago

Soma is great I chose Finnels route but I still like installing and cosmosphere diving into Aurica better and Lady Shurelia alot more that Tyria

CaptainGreece4789d ago

This game is awesome and ain't a gay FPS. Loving it and when you buy the game it comes with extras. I'm winning more then Charlie Sheen.

coryok4789d ago

im still playing older rpgs but when i finish them ill definitely pick this up, sounds fun

Karuto4788d ago

Absolutely! I feel there is alot here to enjoy, especially if you get over some of it's shortcomings.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia6d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator6d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Hell yea, that's all I got to say. I hope one day they re release the cold steel set, I completly missed them due to issues at the time. Now their pretty pricey.

Seraphim224d ago

NISA announced a combo Cold Steel III and IV for PS5, though, I and II are absent. available at NISA store.

jznrpg224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

Cool. I own them all for PS4 but I’ll grab 3/4 for PS5 too, why not. Hopefully they release 1/2 in another combo.

jznrpg224d ago

I am in. One of my favorite series!
