The only Gust game I've played is AI:EM, and Sturm said AI2 isn't all that great because it reminds him of FFT, so I don't have my hopes TOO high for Ar Tonelico. I'm considering renting it when it comes out and if I like it I'll buy it.

You were complaining about how the really small text scrolls before you're done reading it. That's certainly saying you've played more than the opening sequence.

Yes. Well, in most cases. I consider the opening sequence to be that stuff that plays before the title screen, like when Alicia is running from Hrist when you boot up Valkyrie Profile II.

I was reading yours since the only other people there at the time was Rhia, Ash, and Rai, and Rhia and Ash have already beaten the game while Rai doesn't play VPII.
