Neco Arc: Evolution? (aka April Fools Day in the Nasuverse) Oh, and other stuff too!


Nyaa~!

This wasn't the first time that T-M did something like this. XD I guess that they've decided to do a sequel for this year's April 1st. They used real life models instead of Takeuchi's artwork. I don't know about you, but Neco Arc loses her appeal when converted to reality. -_-

...

In other news, I finally picked up a PSP. It's used, but in very good condition. ^^; I played a bit of Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? over the weekend and actually managed to beat the tutorial and three stages. I'll do the rest once I have the time and proper motivation for it. Next: Find a job and obtain a PS3. I was able to find an 80 GB used for $325, but I'd rather wait and see if Sony *finally* drops the price over the next three months. They did announce a price drop today...for the PS2. Arrrrgh! >_< I wonder what's taking them so long to do the same for the PS3...

I've been buying games like crazy recently. Amongst the awesomeness that I've picked up recently, my greatest and luckiest find has to be...Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. It was $60, and it came with everything. Granted, the thin cardboard box wasn't in the best shape, but everything else was in great condition, including the soundtrack CD and the game discs. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of luck with finding something that I want, and it's probably going to be a long time before I have that kind of luck again. Right place, right time FTW!

I think I'm done buying stuff for a while. XD The next thing that I'll be aquiring is Cross Edge, which I'll preorder if there are decent bonuses that come with it. I've already got Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2 and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on preorder, plus the 1/8 scale replica of my dear Chroche-sama coming for me, so I'm pretty much bogged down on cash at the moment. Not that I needed my backlog to become even larger than it has been, but I can't help but expand my collection. XD

Atelier Rorona: Official Website is Go!

Waaaaa~haaaaaaaa~!

March 27th in Japan has arrived, and as promised by Gust the official website for Atelier Rorona is no longer just a placeholder graphic. More info on the game has been released on the upcoming title in the Atelier series for the Playstation 3. It's times like these where I wish that my Japanese was better. ;_;

I don't care if your name is Rorona or Rororina. I'll still love you like a little sister. *Grabs hand*<3

I'll be following this game uber closely from now on. XD Rororina is adorable and is full of love. She'll never reach Chroche-sama levels in my heart, but she's the cuteness nonetheless. <3

Gyaa~! Prit...ti! ^^;

More screenshots are out too. The visuals are the most beautiful that I've ever seen in a video game bar none. It takes advantage of the PS3's capabilities quite well I must say. ;p Gust's transition to 3D looks great so far, and I hope that the gameplay is just as great.

I don't really have much to say about the music. From the one track that I heard the music sounds the same as it has been in the past games in the series...not that it's a bad thing. From my mind, I assume that the composers are the usual team.

Gust has officially announced June 25th as Rorona's date of destiny for the Japanese. Gamewave's speculated release date was more than just speculation after all. I hope to preorder this game as it's the one game that I'm looking forward to regardless of language. Will the game get a North American and/or European release? I hope so, but only time will tell.

Whee~!

Hi.

I got tired of LJ's limited ways and I've already found this place to be more extensive. So I'm claiming this land as mine. *Plants flag on the ground in the name of himself and Chroche-sama* <3

I'll be importing my past LJ entries before too long and make this place look pretty as I can. Sadly, AJ is coming over to my place before too long and we're going to be doing some drafting and creative work for part three of the Alien's Project and *possibly* part two of the Midnight Stalker: Mad Max Chronicles. Not that I want to since it has been five years since we did part one. *cough*

So, want to friend and love me peoples?

Atelier Rorona! <3

I deleted my previous entry. It was a result of an outburst of emotions and I believe that I went a little too far. XD

I'm late with this, I know. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Personally, I thought that the "blu-ray" beneath the PS3 was humorous. Like we didn't know that blu-ray was the format for the PS3
already. >_>

March 27th: A date where I'll certainly be on the lookout.

So Gust has decided to move onto the PS3 eh? It may not be a popular decision with most fans of the series, but I approve of this. The PS3 may be a hard console to develop for and I wish that Sony went with something other than their own blu-ray, but it's something that I believe deserves more support than it's getting.

Hopefully it's another entry in the traditional Atelier series of games. The Iris trilogy didn't receive that good of a reception in Japan due to its "save the world" plotlines and the traditional RPG elements. I believe that Gust has recognized this and has thrown the idea to the shack. Not to say that they weren't good games, which they were. Of all the games in the series, I've only played Atelier Iris 1, 2, and 3. Sadly. ;_; I've always wanted to try the normal entries in the series. *Has put off importing Atelier Lise and/or Annie for far too long*

It looks as Gust has brought in a new artist to do the artwork this time. I don't recognize the style right away, but the artwork shown looks absolutely stunning. Rorona, if that's her name on the right, looks adorable! ^^; She's up there with Lisette on my Atelier cuteness meter.




I'm so happy that you think that way Tenma!

Aww...no worries. After all, it's the truth! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XfHtscsjFw7yXWLDebaH2KsEUk3UW6FNyTx6TL_NkWmVhnCb1i6NskrbYtn6s-wEgGi2-R-SIUCQuYu2BMnkeGYy6Od-5HH9RR4oA2UCd4stJxskQPwIK8P_LanQfq9q79pM964xxYBx/s1600-h/roronaface.png">



Hmmm...I think we're going to be knowing each other for a long, long time. <3 href="http://www.crossmedia.com.hk/gn/20090312/10261">already named June 25th as its possible date at a price of 6800 yen. When it does hit the streets in Japan I shall be waiting here patiently for my share of Rorona goodness. I'm planning on preordering if I have the money for it, especially if there's a collector's edition of the game like countless other Atelier titles have had in the past. Yay!

Hopefully the official website will be up by then too. Atelier Annie just came out in Japan, so I hope that they'll start to concentrate on Rorona now.I'll be sure to pick up a PS3 before the end of the summer. I've already got some money saved up for it and I'm getting ready for the console's price to drop at any given time. Which I hope will be this spring.

Yay Rorona! ^^
