And yes, I agree on the part that purge isn't pure fanservice. Still, seeing how they managed to come up with such a beautiful story, I can't dismiss the thought that surely they could've came up with something different to fully utilize PS3 capabilities...

As for the localization, bleh, it's shitty to the point I'd rather not think about it. If they MUST change Cocona's age, they should've at least change the other numbers too. Changing only her age messes with the continuity. So she's aged 5 years but the event is 2 years after the previous game? Wtf!?

For names. Salapator -> Salapatra, justification please. Alfage... the credit explicitly states it's Arphage goddammit. Riversia Protocol... credits, and wtf everything about the song screams rebirth. The stupidity is beyond wrong kana reading AND laziness to check the credits. Wanna go more into this? We have a thread dedicated to it. Feel free to add to the list if you find more.

@Quad: I like the battle system actually. Especially in hard mode, things are quite challenging. But I wonder why the burst is limited to 1000000% now.

Alright, just finished it here. Took me some time but was kinda busy.

Anyways, Finnel true ending win. I'm glad the game lets you start over at phase2. I was already worried about starting the whole thing all over again. I'm not interrested in Finnel's other endings, I don't want to ruin that moment. I guess I'm gonna go for Tyria and Cocona before selling the game. Also, I wasn't affected by the english localization as Qoga was my first game of the series.

As far as the soundtrack goes, my fav goes to this one, even more than finnel's song :p.

Selling the game?! Blasphemy!

And yes Cosmoflips is awesome because 1. It really does sound great, 2. It reminds me of Ar-ru.

Ar-Ru heh, I wonder if I should buy her DLCs.


Btw, where does this song play again? I keep searching on youtube but can't find it lol.

Oh right, it's before Ar Ru's boss fight.

Finally finished the game, and... no Master of Unlocking. |:
I raged so hard...

Bleh, done Saki's routes now. Onto Tyria and Cocona~!

LOL, that trophy was irritating and it's only a bronze trophy, but I got it on my first playthrough and gotten Saki's ending.I even obtained the max money trophy, it was easy as hell. Come to think of it, I stopped play few months back after I did so. I have no motivation to platinum the game and I totally dislike the main female leads this time round.
I do like several of the personas more like Soma, if only she was bustier....

I got the game.. *Dances*

More like borrowing one for now, since my friend has to go out of town for 2 months, and he already finished one ending in 4 days...lol

Lol, if I played for the majority of 96 hours (let's say I sleep 32 hours those days, and game the rest, so 64 hours), I would've gotten almost all of the endings. In 45 hours, I got both of Saki's ends and the bad ends. Now that I can skip text and scenes, Finnel and others should only add 20 hours or so to get all of them.

Did you get all the talk topics and party talk topics?

Fucking missed one somehow, Im thinking of either restarting from a point before that (since I multi save files) or just keep going and get the missed one when I go for another route.

I bought the limited edition recently and I enjoyed it. The battle system was very barebones, but I did love the idea of matching the rhythm of the song for higher damage. If they reworked the system for a possible 4th game I'd say it'd be on par with a Tales game.

The cosmospheres were really fun to dive into, and although the story was a bit bland, I enjoyed it. Phase 4 was definitely the highlight of the story though.

Ye, at some point I enjoyed diving more than playing the main game lol.

Get the DLC then!

All of the party topics, and all of Saki's.

quoted for truth!

Q~~~~F~~~~T~~~~

Currently, Just started Phase 3. Loved the uninstall scene with Soma. <3
aiming for Finnel True End first.

High five! Shame on those who didnt get Finnel *looks at onime*

Yup Finnel is the way to go.

That said I haven't played AT3 since I finished her ending.

High Five back. XD Well, it's more of a tradition for me to finish the "oriental type" Heroine first, Like Misha and Luca.
