I never thought that i would return playing 2d rpg in my life time. lol. So many 3d rpg games there why should i waste my time playing this, but i was totally wrong. This game is truly addicting. About the Ar Tonelico 1 i have one but i did played about for just 1 hour. After that hour it bored me because it is a 2d game and at the same time i'm playing persona 3 when i bought AT 1. Talk about a waste of money lol. After playing Persona 4 which is totally awesome i tried playing AT2 and heck this game is addicting. I like the main character in this game than the first one. Oh about the character i like them especially Skycat. Love maids to the max! lol. I had problems about the items like in persona 4 they can't be arranged. So it's kinda annoying when you are browsing healing potions, etc. Oh, i forgot about the text or the words of the characters, there is no auto-advanced in the game. You must press 'X' so that the text progress.

hmm...You're like playing a visual novel game when playing AT2...

Synthesis is very enjoyable to watch. Which i think new to AT2 so the game says.

I pick Luca because she's my type. I don't like the bossy type princess Cloche ^^. But after i finish Luca i will try Cloche. I'm on phase 5 of the game now. Hmm...How many phases does this game have? I hope 10+. ^^ Because this is a 2d game so i expect longer gaming.

SPOILER (click to view)

I quite expect that Cloche and Luca are sisters from the not so beggining of the game. Luca is 19 while Cloche is 17.

Yeah, I was really surprised by how well done Ar Tonelico 2 is.. The localization could be better, but that's really my only complaint. I'm not very far, so I'm still partial to the first game, but it may not be long before this one overtakes the first in some of the gaming areas. And, kind of off-topic, but, Luca makes me laugh. ^^

I've played through Ar Tonelico once with Luca, I feel discouraged to do Cloche's path at the moment but I'll eventually get through with it. But before doing that I want to do Jackli's path as it seems interesting.

The moment you see her body... you'll know who she is... I'm sure.

I chose Luca just well... in the beginning when I had started it, I decided that I'd choose Luca regardless of what happened. I stuck to my decision and I'm pretty happy. I don't know when I'll start Cloche's path but probably soon enough >_>;;

I played part 1 for like 9 hours and got bored with it eventually.
The story was just a bit too slow to come together for me.
Ar Tonelico 2 on the other end takes a huge step forward in terms of gameplay and the way the story unfolds, so yeah I'm still playing it right now! XD
