This is how these things work.

Game 1 has some sexual subtext. (rated T)
Game 2 cranks the sexual subtext to the limit. (still rated T)
Game 3 has battles in underwear. (rated M)
Game 4 ??????? (rated XXX)

lol it's part of the Ar Tonelico series. Ar Tonelico is one of the worst video games i have ever played, really.

I was fine with the first two. Aside from the terrible graphics, it had an interesting setting, okay plot, good crafting system and simple, yet sometimes challenging battle system. In fact, it's worth appreciating it for the uniqueness alone. Did you also hate its main feature, the diving into the two girls' minds? Regardless, that mechanic definitely allowed for more characterization than any jRPG i've seen.

I hate VNs but i'd say the diving thing was rather well done. The crafting system was also good.

But from what i remember, the girls made the fights easier and more boring than most combat systems.
And what i hated the most was the dialogs/interactions with the girls between white knight/princess things and sexual allegories. Some little romances already suck, so when it is almost the main plot...meh...and the shitty art that come with this...

To compare, i consider that Atelier Iris : Eternal Mana and Mana Khemia were OK.

Yeah, i agree completely with that. Still not as bad as Mass Effect "romances" for me.

Did they hire Luca Turilli for the orchestration or something? Having flashbacks of being 12 and thinking Rhapsody was awesome.

One of the worst games I've played.

Bought it on with a -73% or something discount tho :dealwithit:

Still not worth the time.
