atelier rorona plus, to be specific :3
finally taking the dive into the altelier series, and by george
IT'S EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE?
the art style is just so cute
and like... the gameplay is infectious
the characters are adorable!!!
I ALREADY HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT RORONA AND HER GANG OF MISFITS
ESPECIALLLY HER CUTE SHORT LITTLE BFF
AND I'M ALREADY DOODLING MODERN AUS F THEM
tall lanky rorona and short little cory
chilling out and being cute
hnnnng
also, let's talk about sterk
rorona/cory I already think will be my ship through this game bud damn
stahp you're really cute in this game

so far my least favorite, honestly
her va choice is unfortunate
SECRETARIAL KNIGHT PRINCESS
I ADDED HER TO MY PARTY FINALLY BECAUSE I HAVE MONEY TO SPEND AND SHE'S
HER LEVEL UP ANIMATION IS SO GREAT!!!!!
I WANT TO HANG WITH HER AND STERK
poor Cory lagged behind in levels when I replaced her with Lionella for a while
and I'm having a hard time leveing her up again
hmmmm, but I worry I'm going to end up with chef guy
he keeps showing up in festival cutscenes
THIS IS DIRECTLY YOUR INFLUENCE
IM SO GLAD ITS FINALLY HAPPENED
I'VE BEEN OBSESSED LYNSEY....
I'm on the first assignment of year three
just totally beat sterk's ass in the random gladiator tournament
nothing says yay festival like one on one combat
Also if you haven't been using Iksel in battle you probably won't end up with him
He just shows up a lot during festivals
Since he and Cory are the childhood friends for Rorona
It it actually somewhat sad when you find out why Iksel started wanting to become a chef iirc
Also geezus YOURR BETTER THAN ME IDK IF I EVER BEAT STERK'S BUTT
adgkh I'M AT LEVEL 29, I'm not sure if that's standard for this point in the game
and aldkghad yeah I used Iksel a lot, he and Cory were my starting cheap party up until level... 14 or so
then Lionella came and I was like, I WANT TO PARTY WITH LAURA BAILEY
so I tried her out and then had to spend foreeeeever getting her to catch up
and then by the time she matched Rorona and Iksel we were all at like, 28
and I finally figured out that the travelling fee for using characters is per outing
so suddenly I was like, SHOOTS BRAH, I CAN TAKE EVERYOONE!!!
LIONELLA IS THE BEST SO I DON'T BLAME YOU
I wish Lionella's actual story didn't go in the direction it did but ugh she's sooooooooooo cute
she's my favorite of the party members
man you are gonna have fun when the third year is over
since they added more to the plus version
including two certain other cuties
THE TWO MAIN GIRLS FROM THE FUTURE GAMES ARE IN IT?
and I don't know much about them
I rped with a Totori and she was a cute
and I've seen Meruru's character design and she's adooooorable!
she has fluffy pink hair!!!
and a rainbow cape!!!! *^*
YEP TOTORI AND MERURU SHOW UP THROUGH SPACE TIME SHENANIGANS
ehehe I'm so excited to meet them
I already love Rorona so much, I bet I'll love them both
you're gonna love playing atelier totori after
since SEEING EVERYONE ALL GROWN UP
should I get it on ps3, or shoud I get the totori plus on the vita?
I guess real question, does it play well on the vita?
I only played it a liiittle on the vita personally but i noticed the graphics suffered
not the models but the portraits for when they're talking
have like really noticeable pixelated edges OR AT LEAST I NOTICED IT
I might just get the older version on ps3.
yeah they didn't add much to plus
I'll do internet research, check if there are any major gameplay improvements
i know costumes only got added there but yeeeeeeeee
atelier meruru plus sounds better than totori plus though
especially because they put in some new endings i think that fixed something that pissed me off
the whole... what they did to rorona thing
Astrid was trying to make her a teenager again :/
because "who likes/wants a 30 year old rorona"
and she acciddentally became a small child instead
oh.... that'.... weird :/
AND IT KIND OF... REALLY PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE GDIT JAPAN STOP YOUR GROSS AGEIST BULLSHIT WITH WOMEN
and there was an ending in the original where that got fixed but she was an eternal teenager
but in plus they added one where she becomes her adult self again
I want to see cute grown up rorona being a badass
she's soooooo cute in atelier totori
I can only imagine, like... adkgha
I'M ALREADY SO PROUD OF HER AND HOW SHE'S GROWING UP
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE SEEING HER IN THE FUTURE
when totori was talking about her to meruru in the third game it was breaking my heart tbh
talking about how much she loved Teacher ; w ;
of course, everyone loves rorona
rorona and totori's relationship is
NOT LIKE ASTRID AND RORONA'S CHRIST
THAT'S GOOD, BECAUSE LAWDY
If I have gripes with this game
like she rubbed off a bit on rorona but you could see that with the Homs in the first game
but calling totori cute and swooning over her is like the extent of it
she is way more supportive than astrid was :/ ALTHOUGH SHE DISAPPEARED FAST
well, gotta give the new girl her space to shine I suppose
although she does get jealous at a point but that's because totori is both an alchemist AND an adventurer
totori is her only successful student SOB...
she basically wanders around everywhere trying to teach alchemy but totori is the only one who ever understood her teachings
SO SHE'S GOT SOME SELF ESTEEM PROBLEMS THERE and does cling to totori pretty hard because of that when they reunite
but like. yeah she never pulls astrid's bullshit.
right? I kept waiting to like her, or her for to turn a corner, but so far.... nope....
michelle ruff, you deserve better
not even by the time totori happens
