Hearing from those who are playing now, routsounmanman said that it's a high quality big budget title. A whole lot of work went into it. In fact, I think Arc Rise Fantasia is more graphically impressive than Atelier Rorona. I wouldn't be surprised if Arc Rise costed more. Even moreso, because Arc Rise had TV ads whereas I can't find any for Atelier anywhere. (I then assume that it didn't have any) |
I'm playing it now! I imported it from Japan. Is simply awesome. Facial expressions are better than 99,9% of high budgets RPGs... simply wonderful. In its whole, it's an amazing game, with "loads of feeling", and I'm loving it.
But it's defenitely a very low cost. No AA at all (jaggies everywhere), an amazing overworld, but that it is good because they really know how to do it... not because it costed much to do, full of 2D (shops, etc), so on. It's a very good title with very low budget.
Now, did you see Arc Rise ads on TV? Because my Japanese friends didn't see any, while Atelier Rorona is being advertised by shops on TV. Also in magazines, they covered lot more of Atelier Rorona.
Look, I really think that Atelier Rorona did OK... the same way I think Arc Rise did. There is no sense at all saying the Atelier did super sales and Arc Rise crapy, and this is what you're trying to do here, the same way you are trying to minimize Arc Rise Fantasia sales every time you have the chance, trying to implicitely expand the non existant word of "Wii doesn't sell RPG titles".
Ohh... and to say that Atelier Rorona costed less to do than Arc Rise Fantasia is something I can't understand...
