@hidokenking351 well not really. But I'd still recommand playing the 2nd game cuz this game is the direct sequel and almost countinue the story of the 2nd. And there's many cameos from both the 1st and the 2nd game. But if you don't wanna play them, the story shouldn't be diffucult to understand without playing the first 2. It's just you won't understand some cameos and stroy plot.
Already obtained my copy and I could tell you, this game is a huge improvement from NISA's previous titles(including Trinity Universe, and Neptunia).
Of course, this game only caters to a niche, JRPG fan base. It isn't meant for your standard player or FPS fan. If you don't like cute or sexy girls, you can stick with your over-sterilized men for all we care.
Admittedly, the opening part with Aoto shouting "Saki!" made me cringe from how cheesy it sounded, but it wasn't "bad." I'll probably play it once in English and once in Japanese anyhow, just like I do with most every NISA/Gust game.
@SuperGamer999 Nahh, I think most of the voice actors are relatively new... Apart from Stephanie Sheh (voice of Orihime in Bleach, Mikuru in Haruhi, etc)
Nice work with english voices! I didnt felt out of the videoclip at all, it even made my eyes teary!, already had the calendar edition pre-ordered since the first day!
@BazarGamer Do you even know what that word means? Hint: censure does not mean the same thing as censor. Even then, I think you need to learn the difference between verbs and nouns, because you really don't make sense.
I read somewhere it's to sell copies to the people that would be like -3? No thank you- It was a topic on GameFaqs, but it's a business decison which is kinda stupid but NISA can do whatever they want.
@ScottMN1985 Well there is that, but also NISA tried to be more unique. Like for Ar tonelico fans who know the hymmnos language the series uses, they would know what the title means. Qoga is a way of saying an ending and it suits a trilogy series where this being the 3rd game.
I'm excited for this game!^^.I've beat the 1st game last weekend and I'm going to try to beat the 2nd one before I play this one!^^.I was amazed at how easy I found the first two considering how many years has past.I can't wait to see how this game plays out!XD
Dammit, now I have to buy a ps3 again. Everything looks like an improvement: the graphics, gameplay, story, and the music is just as fantastic as the last two. The story preview at 2:43 sounds so powerful. A lot stronger than the 1st for sure, and I'm really excited for this. Definitely going to pick this up.
But I do have one concern, does anyone know if there will be an option to turn off the losing clothing animations in the battles? (I have a little bro so it could get awkward if that happened every fight) I remember hearing a lot of rumors about there being an option but never an official announcement
@snipingsnipe You can. I've seen a screenshot somewhere where it has a menu for brightness and stuff and says something like "Purge Movies" with on or off options.
do i need 2 play the other Ar tonelico games to understand this one ? i never played the ones on ps2

No offense, but I don't know which is creepier... This line:
AOTO: Can you take some clothes off for me?
Or the response:
SAKI: Y-yes! I'll do it!

@BazarGamer The game is rated "M" for "Mature", "Manly", and "Overly sexualized", which means there's no censure to speak of, dummy.
