ar tonelico 2

[white_mokona]

i wish i knew when it'll come out. it doesn't say on wiki that ar tonelico 2 is coming out in america  

[Palsa-San]

They'll get around to announcing it pretty soon. ^_^
When they do, expect a news update.

this game is driving me crazy i want it to come out soon i mean i even check rpgamer.com everytime i get on the computer just in case, ive been watching this ever since they announced it in japan  

[Palsa-San]

I know what you mean. ^_^
My best advice is to subscribe to RPGamer, GameSpot and IGN.
That way you'll find out through e-mail when any news is released.

i really dont go to ign because they take a while with most rpg games (to announce them i mean) but that is a really good idea but i have a feeling that when the weather finally gets warm they will announce it, but you never know

True, but they beat a lot of the others to draw with Mana-Khemia.
They had video's released for the series that the other places didn't.
That's why I suggested to subscribe to several places, that way when someone announces any news you'll definitely hear it.

I REALLY think this is coming to NA sooner or later.

First, NISA is usually pretty good about brining over sequels of games they've already localized.

Second, Ar tonelico 1 got reprinted. And the reprint sold out on Rosenqueen in two days. That shows how much this series is in demand.

Third, PVC of Ruka available on Rosenqueen.

And finally, if NISA wasn't going to bring it over, they would have said so immediately. On the flip side, they generally wait until three months before the release date to announce said release date (unless its Disgaea). The reason we haven't got one yet is because AT2 has at least twice as much text as AT1, so its going to take longer to localize than AT1 did.

Hang in there guys im sure its coming.

Very true! ^_^
And one thing a lot of people tend to forget, NIS-America will release the game in both English as well as the original Japanese.
This process doesn't just take awhile because of adding additional voices, but because it requires months of editing so that the game will actually work in both languages.

well what i should do is to send letters to the company to get Ar Tonelico 2 ASAP!

not to mention we dont even know how long they have had the title. most games are finished development a while before it is actually released to test for gliches to advertise and so on, but this game was very popular in america before it even came out in japan, so in all posibility nisa could have had the title and been working before it even came out in japan

The indication I got from reading the Kawachi's final comment in this article:
http://heiseidemocracy.com/2007/10/28/bishoujo-game-news-more-on-ar-tonelico-2/
Is that they will not only release the sequel here, but also plan on making an entire series out of it. ^_^

after reading it i got the impression that japan wants ar tonelico 3 and 4 but nothing about any american releases  

[Kibaxx]

but i may be wrong so if a quote in there really stood out to you then be my guest correct me i just want as much news a possible for this after all
