None of the atelier games are on the pc nor are they coming to the PC.

PSTV is your best option to play them.

Bad translations are better than good translations of mediocre writing, as clearly evidenced by Japanese videogames in the 90s.

not really b/c "buy a pstv" is good advice if you like jrpgs.

The PSTV is smaller than your wallet and only costs 30-40 bucks.

like really the entry barrier is ungodly low that it's not even worth your time waiting for Vita exclusives to be ported. The Playstation controller that you use for the vita is larger than the whole system itself.

Ah didn't see the PSTV edits

I actually have one at home buried somewhere in the remaining moving boxes I think, I'll have to dig that out and maybe get some use out of it. I remember buying it to play P4G, starting it, then thinking 'wait I don't actually want to play P4G right now'

I've been looking for a chill RPG to play and for whatever reason RF4 isn't seeming to quite do it--that might just be because whenever I have my 3DS in hand I think to myself "I want to hunt another gore magala in MH4U", now that I reflect on it

I don't understand what a PSTV is. Is it a console? where do the games come from and what attaches to it?

edit: I mean obviously I could google this, but this thread is pretty happy to keep telling people to buy them, so I thought I would air my ignorance here...

its a vita for your tv so they come from the same place all vita games come from

the problem is some games won't work on it, usually because they require lots of touchscreen stuff or because they're made by konami. fortunately all the jrpgs work and it gets ps3 ports of stuff so it's a great budget jrpg machine if you don't wanna buy a ps3 or ps4

It's a Vita in console form more or less, with all that that implies--lots of game ports, IIRC

touchscreen stuff is no longer an issue you mash down on the analog sticks and it pops up a digital finger that emulates the touch screen.

there's still a blacklist though and they patched the hack that disabled it so no matter whether it would be playable you can't get it to run some things

I remember wanting to buy Ayesha because I read part of the LP and the music was really loving good; I'm a sucker for good vidya game music

There was a track with the name "Undine" in it, someone link that from youtube please

I think gravity rush and terraway are the only big name black list games, but those have remastered/goty editions on the PS4 which contain all DLC and such along with superior visuals. Ys still works on the PSTV as does all other Falcom games.


also best Ayesha music:

yeah, they finally added ys a few months ago, which is good. the things i'm thinking of is most of the hd collections they put out, like jak and daxter trilogy, are blacklisted for literally no reason. yeah theyd look better on the ps3 release but i aint got a ps3

ffx/x-2 works though at least

I'm sort of worn out on giant, modern games full of millions of collectibles, rpg mechanics, and icon-filled open worlds (just 95%'d Far Cry 4 for context) so I've started playing Descent for the first time. It's fun! :)

Anyway, that's my story, Namaste and thanks for reading.

It's really not. I played it. I beat it. It's decent early, but instead of getting better, it gets worse. The final boss fight is the most boring and making GBS threads fight in the entire game.
