Raitzeno posted:My copy of Nosurge is now here too, so into the breach I go. I'll see you in hell, Feinne. I KNOW RIGHT. I goddamn DIED when that happened the first time. I might post the video version of the Hundred Knight tutorial prologue in here as a preview of the thing, though I'll admit it's probably the most boring part of the game.

When you get to the second party it is somehow even better.

So what you guys are saying is that I should stay unspoiled and get Ar Nosurge, correct? For reference, I loved AT2, liked 1 and even 3 triggered morbid fascination.

Omobono posted:So what you guys are saying is that I should stay unspoiled and get Ar Nosurge, correct? If you liked AT2 then you'll at the minimum dig Ar Nosurge's combat system, which borrows many of its ideas (though defending does work slightly differently). One note, while you should definitely play the game on Hard because Normal is pretty plainly 'yeah I just want to experience the plot here get this game poo poo outta my face' they actually are not entirely underselling things by using that word, because no lie bosses in this game will RUIN YOUR rear end in a top hat if you don't get good at figuring out how to deal with them. I've gotten more Game Overs in Ar Nosurge than I have in all of Ar Tonelico that's not it and I just finished Phase 1 (to be fair I'm pretty sure the only time I've game overed in the rest of the series was a boss doing something deeply bullshit in Qoga). Oh yeah and Ultimax Suplex Hold came out though I'm not going to start going through story mode in that until I'm done with Ar Nosurge.

It's been mentioned once before I think but it's really worth reading a summary of Ciel Nosurge before you play Ar Nosurge. As much as they're ignoring it in the translation, Ar is still a direct sequel to Ciel and some stuff will make way more sense if you know what happened before. Also because if you like the music in these games, there's some really good tracks in Ciel as well.

I will say that while knowing who the gently caress everyone is would be helpful, Ar Nosurge does do a decent enough job of making it pretty obvious how people relate to each other insomuch as you need to know it to get what's going on. Also Ciel Nosurge comes up in one of Nelico's Genometrics conversations, amusingly. As in, the actual game.

Helpful Ar Nosurge Hint if you've gotten to Ion's side: So, you'll want to jump in and do her Genometrics right away because more Song Magic is more, right? Well, you can get some crystals right away, but it's absolutely impossible to finish her first level until the start of Phase II. That said, you can and should do Kanon's Genometrics as soon as it's available for her because it's actually one of the requirements for doing Ion's later.

So, we wrapped up my current consulting job and it'll probably be a couple weeks before the next one starts, so I can really give some attention to trying to get Hundred Knight off the ground. I'll probably have time to get things into the state I want Saturday or so.

Is the issue with archiving threads still up? I'd hate to see everything deleted by accident. I figured I might as well mention Gust/TecmoKoei are holding surveys for Ar Nosurge since you guys mentioned it a bunch here(NA and EU versions respectively). It's funny, they've been pretty regular about this ever since the merger. It's not much but I'd like to see more of this kinda feedback collection from other developers. Also those synthesis dances are absolutely amazing. Feinne posted:Pirachu's made if very plain that he's the series' mascot, how could he not be in it? Arcade Rabbit posted:I'd like Rei to show up again. I actually really liked her and how she grew as a character.

Until the archives issues is resolved nothing's actually leaving the live forums so don't worry about that.

Tzarnal posted:Any plans to do Disgaea 4 at some point ? Yes, with a but that I'd be much more likely to LP the Vita remake once the thing they've got coming out later in the year is out. I haven't done it yet in part because someone else was doing it but seems to have abandoned it and in part because while I like the story okay gameplay wise it's probably my least favorite Disgaea, but the remake does fix a lot of that.

Yeah, I'm a good ways into the postgame and really starting to appreciate some of the QOL features they stole from Disgaea D2. Also, having all the DLC characters available is really cool. Stella especially was a massive all-star all the way through the end of the main story, and one of the DLC generic classes ended up with one of the most important Unique skills in the game; it was on a fairly deep-hidden unlockable generic class in Disgaea 3, when the skill was first introduced, so I was very sad when it wasn't really available on the PS3 version of D4.

Yeah when I heard they took a lot of Disgaea D2's QOL improvements I suddenly became more interested in the D4 remake, because vanilla D4 honestly has the worst QOL choices of the series. DD2 is still better, though, because the way the item world and item leveling works in that is just so good. So what I'm currently thinking is I'm going to shoot for a double post of Hundred Knight tomorrow or Sunday, I want to have the start of the actual plot along with the prologue. At that point I'll probably attempt to roughly update on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which gives me plenty of time to sort through whether a dungeon deserves highlight clips or potentially a full video with commentary.

If I owned a vita I'd pick it up just for the awesomeness of having necromancers and medics. Those two are extremely useful.
