i can't believe i did this: Ar Tonelico Qoga: The Knight of Ar Ciel

some people maybe wonder why there is a “Glam Grimfire” (pronouns: they/her) and a Grim Glamfire (him) on this forum
its because i want some people to still be able to respect at least some facet of my personality after i prostrate myself on the slab of jrpg communion in sacrifice. my body is a temple and i will defile it every chance i get

who cares about the boxart: here it is anyway: volume 1

here is a description of this game, that i bought with real money that i actually have to go to work to earn that is associated with things like paying my bills and having food. to bring you this, i chose to not eat for a day:

During the game, Aoto, the protagonist, can dive into the ‘Cosmospheres’ of certain Reyvateils to craft Song Magic, which is done by witnessing their internal turmoils and traumas, and helping them to find a solution for them. Various personae exist within the Cosmosphere, and the player can choose to have the Reyvateil fight in their clothing. Because the personae who wear these costumes have differing preferences in ‘Song Magic’, the costume will influence the RAH. system.[3] Diving additionally deepens the bond between the Reyvateil and the protagonist.[3] However, unlike the previous games, the player can only gain Hyumas in the Cosmosphere because the Song Magic used by each Reyvateil and their persona is preset and unmodifiable.

this is the start of something new and something probably not very amazing. what i thought was a journey to discover if there were truly worthwhile videogames still, instead, i have ended up waist deep in the trash

i’m going to play this for u all, welcome back

I played the original PS2 Ar Tonelico during dark days and it wasn’t very good.
Thank you for your sacrifice.

What is going on with that lady’s asscrack exactly

Anime happened. When reality is no longer considered and porn is the norm.

so let’s do a little background on the ar tonelico series before i do this - mostly because i had a gun pulled on me today and i need something to distract me from it! apparently, ar tonelico (i have no experience with this dang series) is a multimedia project because no JRPG can just be a JRPG anymore by gust. gust made atelier iris, which is a series that is incredibly long and some sick part of me wants to play every single one of.

here’s some information about ar tonelico -

eeeeeeeeeeueuuuuueueueuEEEEEUEUUUHHHHH

okay this is incredible, all of you go to the wikipedia page for this right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_Tonelico

when there is a map made of where the culture of videogames have sank to, this will be the outline of the roadmap cartographers use

i feel like this is why there is a generation of ostracized losers who have anime avatars with make america great again hats: someone’s idea of fiction and writing comes from Ar Tonelico

There was a hole here.

it’s gone now.

the soundtrack in this game is really bad you guys
also, its also bad for women too, and anyone who hears it. it fucks me up on a deep personal level every time i have to hear the garbage ass battle theme in this game

also, maybe, this game has the same plot as Drakengard 3, but not in a way that’s making fun of the concept. attn @Kilroy
