GundamBoy

The best persona game are now available on PC, if you're interested in the series just get it now and thank me later :)

Prequel to the Ar tonelico series that gives us more interesting lore to the rich world building of EXA_PICO universe. I already did a review for the Plus version before but this one is no different, it's still a great JRPG that every fans of Ar tonelico should play.

Arguably the best game in the Atelier series. The story are slightly worse compared to the first game, but fortunately the better characters & improved gameplay are more than enough to make up for it. Highly recommended to those looking for a really fun JRPG with addicting battle system & lots of item crafting.

The story are predictable & mediocre at best, the main character are your typical JRPG protagonist with amnesia who have a dark past, most of the playable characters are unlikeable & you have to move between places to create materials and equipments since apparently they cannot be done in the same room. The battle system are good & it have some fun moments, but that's about it.

Great game for the DS and one of the best games made by Square Enix. If you like JRPG and haven't tried this game yet, go for it.

What's better than Persona 4? Persona 4 Golden! This game are enhanced version of one of the best PS2 games, they put more content in it and fixed some problem it used to have. If you haven't played it, then go for it. If you played the original and haven't tried Golden, go for it too.

One of the best JRPG i've played on my Vita, a plus if you're already fans of Ar Tonelico games. This game offers amazing storyline, godlike music, charming characters, and simple but addicting gameplay. The game are easy enough that if you play just for the story you won't find any problem, but for those who cared about gameplay this game offers hard mode that are quite challenging and lots of fun! Overall, if you're looking for a great JRPG for PS Vita that aren't Persona 4 Golden then you might want to check this out.

Clearly the inferior game out of the recent three. You might've heard somewhere before that people hyped this game as the best one in the franchise, which isn't true since those people are likely speaking from nostalgia perspective. The gameplay are unbalanced and you can't control your party members in battle, plus the AI aren't helping either. I lost count as how many times i've encountered groups of enemies which all shares the same weaknesses and i set one of my party member to knock them down, but guess what? they decide to hit them one by one instead of doing it with multi-target skill attack. I don't mind if the enemies are weak to certain physical attacks since regular attack command will do. But when the enemies are weak to certain elements, prepare to waste more of your precious time & in-game resource. Next is the dungeon, in this game there's only one big dungeon called Tartarus, you have to climb this one and only lazy-designed dungeon to reached the top before the last day in the game, there's no real time limit here but you should still keep up with it every month if you don't want to get into trouble near the end. The worst part? not only does the process are tedious, but your allies could also got tired from exploring and thus severely limited your exploration. Lastly, the story use the same formula as in Persona 4 & Persona 5 but didn't executed as good and the characters are mostly okay except for this one robot girl (yes, a robot girl) that's just came out of nowhere and become the center of the narrative, not to mention that in some scene they make her looks like her sole purpose is to please the male playerbase by holding the main character's hand immediately after she saw him for the first time or going into the main character's room when he sleeps at night. Though there are some other annoying characters like the french guy at school or the fat dude in mall, the robot girl stand out the most since she's part of your team. The final boss battle are a drag because usually final boss in JRPG have 3 forms, but this one got 13 forms! and the optional boss aren't as hard as people makes it sound to be, just need lots of preparation not worth getting stressed over, complete with an epilogue called "The Answer" which is also tedious. If i have to say a good thing about this game, it's the music, "Burn My Dread" and "Battle Hymn of the Soul" are one of the best video games soundtrack i've ever heard. Overall, this game isn't as good as what the fans are saying. If you played this game expecting another Persona 4 or Persona 5, chance are you'll be disappointed. If you haven't played Persona 4 or Persona 5, play those instead since they're better in almost every way.
