I'm appalled that a paid demo could reach 100 pts...

Not a good day for J-Stars, and Ar no Surge will crater unfortunately :(

Funny some people suddenly ditched Dark Souls II LE

I still haven't seen anyone do a COMG point comparison for Ar Nosurge vs Ar Tonelico series...

I'd be interested.

Me too, actually. COMG was pretty consistent with Atelier games (though, not the Vita versions) so I quite want to see whether they liked Ar Tonelico or not.

Having said that, Ciel no Surge charted with 21 points, so this is a pretty abysmal performance from Ar no Surge.

Well with the limited edition Ar no Surge ends with 32 points so maybe it can do 30-40k first week but yeah that isn't very good.

40k would be kind of disappointing, considering AT3 opened with over 80k. Gust should have pushed harder to make sure people knew this was another Ar Tonelico game, since even some people I know who loved the past games weren't aware at all. Although, the fact AT3 was by far the worst of the series might hurt sales. Also tying a PS3 RPG to a Vita visual novel isn't exactly the best of marketing ideas, although it makes sense story-wise.

That said, the music is amazing, as usual for Gust. Ar Nosurge is a step forward for the series from AT3, it's a lot more reminiscent of AT2, and has direct ties into AT1. I wouldn't be worried about the game financially either, since Gust has enough fans to pretty much buy out the limited editions, along with sales of CDs and other goods.

Fairly tame day except for Dark Souls.

J Star Victory doesn't seem to have bad pre-order

More LE huh XD

This is great now we can track the total of both versions of J star.
