I can already tell this game will be special (read: not very good).

The dialogue isn't impressing me, but then again there is little to go off of. I'll stick it out and hope it gets better.

I haven't read anything about Ciel Nosurge and have never played or watched an Ar Tonelico game before so this is quite a lot of  to take all at once. Why is no one wearing pants whyyyyy.

Feinne posted:It depends on the Song I think what benefit you get from personality. It's all weird and poorly documented because everything in these games is that way. And despite how the game likes to style itself, you can't dive into its source code to figure out what the gently caress anything does.

Just started reading the pastebin summary of Ciel Nosurge while finishing this update off, and I really gotta see how this links up to what I'm reading about. For once, I have no idea where this is going to go, cause this whole thing is a mindfuck.

I'm still pretty at this whole thing. I like the player avatar thing though, and Ciel Nosurge's gimmick too.

So is the purpose of this Dive just to get the player to pace themselves between plot and Dives, or is there anything more meaningful to it?

 Was this the dive where we find out that Kanon really is excited to have Ion back, or was that another one?

What the gently caress are those costumes? Delta and Earthes look okay, though.

Sindai posted:Just how much of the "magic code" is meaningful and how much is gibberish? Because as a programmer I have to stop and try to interpret it every time I see it and it's driving me crazy. http://artonelico.wikia.com/wiki/REON-4213_Language Have fun. It has rules behind it and you could theoretically read it out loud. But as far as I'm concerned, it's gibberish until someone does Hello World in it.

I'm still finishing up the Qoga LP, but I don't know exactly who this narrator/"your mother"/"your father" compound is. I know that the main narrator is Mir (though I know basically nothing about her), but who is the subject supposed to be? I'm only familiar with the third game.

What would they even do to communicate? "Alright, I have this game board we used to play with on Ra Ciela here. Send me a message, please!" "B-U-T-T-S-L-O-L"

Omobono posted:The first two Ar Tonelico games really managed to sell their antagonists as fundamentally good people that made bad choices under duress (and then sunk cost fallacy set in). It's much the same for the final boss in Qoga, too, although it's hard to say exactly who is the main antagonist in that game. Ciela acted similarly out of rage and desperation and had to be snapped out of it by a band of do-gooders. She even speaks about being sad about her choices in her Hymmnos (but realizing she has to do what she did anyway). It's just a little less obvious because Ciela is a much higher life form than a human.

Does the script and dialogue improve alongside it?Sindai posted:Would everything suddenly make sense if I knew anything about AT? TL;DR there was a point in the past of EXA_PICO when things were (relatively) peaceful on Ar Ciel, and this is probably that time. I doubt anything else will be important.

So I'm guessing that the scouts and Genom merged at some point and became the Teru.

I'm still wondering how this dive is supposed to make us sympathetic towards Zill.
|

Incidentally, the reason Zill is pronounced "Jill" is because "zi" is a common romanization for "ジ", the first mora of her Japanese name. Her name is literally Jill, just spelled with a Z because Japanese.

Feinne posted:It's weird because I'm pretty sure the game does even spell her name with a J exactly once and her name in the text always seems really buggy and odd (her actual first name is Zillium but there's like an extra 'ill' in there a bunch of times like someone hosed up a find and replace and didn't bother to check it). Her Japanese name is actually Ji-li-li-u-m (ジリリウム), funnily enough. Then again, I haven't found any romanizations and this is based off of some Japanese wiki I found, so it honestly doesn't really matter.

SPHILIA is my personal favorite of those. In fact, every single one of Mir's songs are great - EXEC_HARMONIUS_FUSION (and technically EXEC_HARMONIOUS), EXEC_RIG=VEDA, EXEC_SPHILIA, EXEC_DESPEDIA, The Heart Speaks, and EXEC_DISHADOW_includes.Ex_VANISLAND are all some of my favorites. No other character has as many knockout Hymns as Mir does, IMO.

I've learned enough of SPHILIA to sing a good portion of it off the top of my head. In fact, I'm gonna listen to it again right now.

I'm glad that Earthes gets what's going on here, cause I sure as hell don't. Also, what was that "slip-up" Earthes picked up on? I don't think it was pointed out.

Earthes has no concept of tact. No one in this game does, actually.
