This is one of the exclusive NIS RPGs I think.

And everyone, this game has a Gust feel. Their games are very different compared to Tales and SO.

And Rol may have to buy a PS3.

Gust is a small RPG developer that specializes in making odd, quirky JRPGs that appeal to a very niche audience. The graphics will be dated and nothing special. All the appeal is in the story and gameplay.

The Atelier games have alchemy as a strong focus of the gameplay and story. So expect it to return.

 

I'm not sure if you will enjoy this type of game at all, but it has a very diehard fanbase.

Here is Gust's Wiki. Take a look see.

The series has become more popular in NA as of late.

Does anybody happen to have the scans cached in their browser so that they can rehost them? I want to see them, and apparently Rykomatsu (gaf poster) took them down. :(

@outlaw:

Thanks for the info.

All I see is the small picture here and the character art in the comment section.

IGN recently gave Ar Tonelico 2:Melody of Metafalic an 8.4/10. The review was positive enough that I'm contemplating giving the game a try at some point.
