I need to get Atelier Iris 2 and Ar Tonelico 1... hmmm which first, though?
Can't say anything for Atelier Iris, never played that series but I loved Ar Tonelico. If you want a good, traditional JRPG, AT 1 & 2 are sweet, 3 is garbage though.
Just once I would like to play a game where the 'grown-ups' (people significantly older than the protagonist) don't die or turn evil. I wonder what it would be like to play as a character who's parents are still alive and play a role in the story. Without them being some figurehead of high status like a king, queen, general, whatever. Every other protagonist just has to be some kind of sole survivor or totally independent of real family members.
