Ike Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Grainger Games at the Metro had it in stock for £45 yesterday, but only for 2 hours. I seen it, went to the flicks, decided to pick it up after the movie and then went back only to find they had sold out. Oh, I was at a Grainger Games today, didn't think to look for it. I would probably buy it if I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Emblem Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It was too much wasn't it Ike, I don't blame you though. The end of childhood was pretty good and now into the meat of the game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yep, it's an early birthday present to myself I'll still probably pick up the EU version though to support it. Gotta finish off Final Fantasy XIII-2 first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I don't get it. It's not your business to teach other companies, well, business. Anyway, just started adulthood myself. For Tales standards, the game does feel pretty good. Enjoying it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Emblem Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm really starting to enjoy this game now, had a rough time in the first boss fight against Richard, thank goodness for the all divide I saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 What difficulty did you start on? Noticed you have Ar Tonelico. Didn't know the game had two fans Having a great time myself. The game may have the best use of titles and battle system in the series. Probably wins the prize for best end battle banters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) What difficulty did you start on? I started on moderate, had a little more courage than some but not much. ;p Noticed you have Ar Tonelico. Didn't know the game had two fans True enough, I did enjoy Ar Tonelico Qoga, Tyria FTW! however trophies wise I hate it, damn Saki's cosmosphere conditions halting my platinum trophy progress. *sulk* Having a great time myself. The game may have the best use of titles and battle system in the series. Probably wins the prize for best end battle banters too.I agree, earning skills and such before felt too random for my taste, much better system. Battle system still sometimes confuses me, getting surrounded by Boars that fucked Asbel right up. I absolutely love Sophie, shes so cute and innocent but when it comes down too it she is pretty kickass as well.

Tales Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I started on moderate, had a little more courage than some but not much. ;p Me too. I was afraid you would say you lost on normal :p I picked moderate for the trophy since normal doesn't offer any, but it was a good decision diffficulty wise. Normal would probably be too easy. Have died a few times myself in boss battles, but not Richard I think. True enough, I did enjoy Ar Tonelico Qoga, Tyria FTW! however trophies wise I hate it, damn Saki's cosmosphere conditions halting my platinum trophy progress. *sulk* Heard that one was a bitch, I guess I got lucky with the guide. Did you use a guide? You probably would have to start over anyway I guess. Also, Finnel > Tyria Another thing, I like the magna carta cards, even though they don't have much use. Already got Sheena from ToS among others and is searching high and low for my beloved Tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have died a few times myself in boss battles, but not Richard I think. If you didn't die at least once against Richard, maybe you should have turned the difficulty up a notch, his combo tree is brutal to come up against. Then when he uses his mystic arte some 5 times which almost guaranteed the character getting ko'd. Heard that one was a bitch, I guess I got lucky with the guide. Did you use a guide? You probably would have to start over anyway I guess. Also, Finnel > Tyria Yes, I started over, but I took a break, was losing too much patience because i was unlocking a few more endings. Finnel is pretty awesome too, Saki just isn't that interesting as the other two. Another thing, I like the magna carta cards, even though they don't have much use. Already got Sheena from ToS among others and is searching high and low for my beloved Tear. I think I got Tear actually, can't remember for definite since I can't see the cards I collected so far, I found a guy who said he'd show me how to play the game when I found 10 cards, must have 8 right now.

Mokong Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I only just spotted this thread now.... and by that only finidng out about the gobal release of this now.... WTF Namco? Why is the PS3 port getting a global release but the original Wii version is stuck in Japan? If I spot a copy I might try borrow my cousins PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) The cards are in your key item section. Ah, cheers for that. I don't have Tear after all btw. ;p I only just spotted this thread now.... and by that only finidng out about the gobal release of this now.... WTF Namco? Why is the PS3 port getting a global release but the original Wii version is stuck in Japan? If I spot a copy I might try borrow my cousins PS3 I believe it's because F is PS3 exclusive. I do believe they don't think there would be any profit brining the Wii version over as well and you know some fans will complain of the lack of the F after story. After struggling at the Strahta Cryes boss fight I have taken to the strategy option for the first time and done some tweaking. Battles seem to be going better now but a boss fight will determine if it has made any improvement.

Sheikah Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I saw this last week in Grainger Games while back in Altrincham to see my family and did a double take. Seemed weird as it was the only import game they were selling, at least that I could see. But yeah, no rush. Glad they're bringing it to Europe and I have a preorder down with ShopTo. Still can't quite gauge this game - can I just ask, because this is a port of a Wii game does it have slightly gimped graphics? I really liked Eternal Sonata which looked lovely in HD, so it'd be a plus if there was a good HD transition with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look too bad, but it's not exactly going to make you think it looks amazing, I mean if you watched the Gametrailers review you'll know what to expect. I really am enjoying it greatly now though, Started chapter 5. Edited March 20, 2012 by Emerald Emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Done the boss fight at Fendel's Valkynes Cryes, but the boss was brutal, had to retry a few times and even with an all divide it was dealing massive damage with a certain combo attack. Life bottles are a precious commodity in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn right, I almost went spare at them yesterday for that. I ordered it from them (which they got from another store) for £45, pricey, but for an impatient import I'm accepting it. Took a few FIFA games my uncle gave me which were never going to be played by me, they said they can knock off £3 to make it £46, my words "You what?" and explained it was "sold" to me at £45, which they relented on and I paid £42.

Life bottles are a precious commodity in this game. Had big problems with that one myself. Died three times before I won on my fourth try. Still hasn't used any all divides and hour glass, need those to get high combos. Have started on chapter 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Technically started this last night. I got up to the bit where they find that chick sleeping in the flowers before I turned it off. I know, all of around 3 minutes. I'm trying to keep the PS3 an actual birthday present for me so resisting almost until next week. Until then I can start pimpsmacking in Alice - Madness Returns. But I'm loving the crisp toony shizzle look. I'm hoping this will be a nice sexy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Question for those who have played more than the 30 minutes I have: are you finding the controls for directional Artes unresponsive? by this I mean I'm trying to use the up/down & X Arte (At the moment Bell Ringer) and it only registers it occasionally. I'm curious as to whether it's a common feature or just my controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
