If Totori's timeline was more relaxed/forgiving, it would be my favorite. Unfortunately, it affects my entire playthrough, unlike say the Rorona parts of Meruru which I can just ignore while playing the rest of the game.

I beat Totori once and then dropped it because the game didn't let me keep the gear that increased travel speed and reduced harvest time on a new game+. That was the only thing I wanted from a new game+ . In Meruru you do get to keep it so it was much more relaxing to replay.

SelenicMartian posted:Is Toukiden any different from all the other MonHun-likes? It's a looooooooooooot quicker and I'd say the controls are probably the tightest. As far as actual gameplay goes, it's probably the closest to MonHun of all the clones, the main differences are you actually get more AI teammates than just a Felyne or two and the controls are more Musou-y than MonHun. Also it's super satisfying to pull off the gauntlet special move when you just turn into a pendulum of fists and screenshakes.

That one kept dragging me back to town for deadlines when all I wanted was to explore). Though of course how restrictive the timeline is depends entirely on how quickly you craft the quick movement item, the quick gathering item, and the teleportation item. Do it fast and you'll easily have a year left over before it's time to build the boat, and another year left over before the end of the game.

Do it fast and you'll easily have a year left over before it's time to build the boat, and another year left over before the end of the game. Totori was my first Atelier game, and it sounds like I would not have had the timeline complaint if I had any previous experience with the series. I basically did NG blind, no guides/walkthroughs/forum advice, so I had no clue how important the reduce time/movement would be. I mean, several in-game years sounded like a ton of time for me to do whatever, wander back and forth across the map at my leisure and still get everything done  . When that proved very wrong, I figured I would do better on NG+ since I had eventually made the quick items in NG, until: AG3 posted:I beat Totori once and then dropped it because the game didn't let me keep the gear that increased travel speed and reduced harvest time on a new game+. That was the only thing I wanted from a new game+ . In Meruru you do get to keep it so it was much more relaxing to replay. Yeah, at that point, I decided I still really liked Totori but I needed to take a break and play some other games. Not surprisingly, next time I played an Atelier game it was Meruru.

Besides Shallie and Sophie, yeah. In the first two Dusk games it's just a structural thing, to the point that most people sleep off the last months of E&L. Firis brings it back for the initial goal of becoming a certified alchemist.

The additional scenes they added to Shallie plus feel like the Shallies shouldn't even be there and they were given a line just to make them relevant. It's like they're supposed to be saying what the audience should be thinking.

It's like they're supposed to be saying what the audience should be thinking. They were pretty irrelevant in the first version as well. They pretty much just bumbled around until Keithgriff told them what to do. Also, Ayesha cures the mom instead of the game letting the main characters do it.

I bought Atelier Ayesha on the recommendation of this thread and really enjoyed it. It looks like I should get the 2nd one in that series, Escha & Logy, next. Is the vita port better, or the ps3 version?

As per usual Vita stuff has a bit more content, but not huge amounts, but a worse framerate. So it depends which you care about more really. The PS3 version also has a few translation errors that never got fixed which I think were in the Vita version, but don't quote me on that.

It's not huge but it also bothers some people more than others so. They go on sale pretty regularly I think.

Speaking of which, I finished a run of Atelier Shallie Plus. The ending change wasn't too drastic but at least filled some plot holes. They just plant Flameu's seed and Linca's voice was added to the final boss.

It took me months to realize it but apparently keeping your finger on the back touch pad prevents Vita from turning the screen dark when you let go of the useful controls in cutscenes.

Had my Vita since it came out and never knew this. I just got into the habit of poking the analog stick occasionally during long periods of no player input. It was a nuisance, but to be honest I think the only games where I ran into auto-dimming were FFX HD, World of Final Fantasy, and I think Conception 2 (because I put the text on auto-advance for a while). They never did add the ability to turn that option off though, did they? "What doesn't kill ya... usually succeeds in the second attempt." - Mr. Krabs

I started hitting it after buying injustice from the last flash sale. Having to hit the analog stick every time a movie played got really annoying considering the large amount of them in story mode.

The ps3 version always displayed the last goal you accomplished instead of your current. Could it be the same issue? It's the strangest design decision I've ever seen.

Nope, tested it out over several chapters. Legitimately wrong entries. Not enough to cause issues but odd enough to catch every once in a while. Not surprising, every Plus version has some sort of major glitch.
