Company here called "GoHastings" apparently they had a big run on the preorders so they just canceled a whole bunch of them.

With getting a Vita now I am considering on doing the "Plus" versions of the Atelier games. 


If you don't mind digital only, I'd seriously consider getting the Plus versions.  All the DLC included is a bonus, but mostly just having them on the go and being able to pick up/put down whenever you want works really well for Atelier, because you can play it in quite short bursts.

Thanks for repsonding.

- I can deal with that even if it is disappointing (especially given how my Escha & Logy pre-order got lost and canceled on me this week)

- Mind elaborating? Is combat simple, or broken or confusing?

- Not that a big of a deal to me

- Only an issue if there is not a way to skip along quickly, like in Hyperdimension Victory if you want

- You mean more of one than the other or balance as in the males are poor and females are great?

- Tedious as in lots of grinding?

- Hey! A positive!


Battles are too easy and the system is shallow. Neptune V was extremely fun, ARNS is boring to death. I said lack of balance because the girls are always on the back being protected and it bugs me. Tedious because you have to dive into other characters' mind and those secquences are terrible.

So my advice is : find the one who lost your EschaLogy preorder, hit him in nose, and go pick EschaLogy elsewhere because you MUST play it.

Did it bother you before in Ar Tonelico?

Totori Plus is 2926 MB on my Vita; don't know how big Meruru Plus is.

It's interesting to see those numbers grouped:

84k Sony combined
42k Nintendo combined

47k PS3 & PS4
7.7k Wii U

Yes, that is much worth notice. I remember people saying that "Nintendo owns Japan", but that's over (provided it's ever been a reality).

Iwata will have a hard time justifying his charts from now.

Not really a fair comparison, but OK.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

Have supply been enough already in Japan or still constrained?

it was never constrained.

I just hope the PS4 doesn't drop off below 10k in future weeks. I think it'll stabilize somewhere between 11k and 20k (hopefully near to 20k and not 11k)

The Vita almost passes the 3DS wow.

A bit. But AR Tonelico 3 was slighlty better honestly and it didn't like that one too. Maybe the series is just not for me.

WTH is going on with Japanease home console market?

Is population get that old and losing interest in gaming?

Hard to belive PS4 with no competitor is barely pushing PS3 sales.

ps4 has a competitor but ps4 simply isn't competitive in japan. and with that price and lineup, this won't change soon, if ever.
