With RoAW Zero, that's the prequel game to the 1st game that was released on the PSN Store.

You seem to know alot about the games =) Do you know some games that are similar to AT?

Well I know Ciel no Surge on PS Vita is from the same director as Ar tonelico and has some similarities, but it's not an RPG Dating Sim game and not really related to Ar tonelico.

It's kind of hard thinking of games that are similar because there really isn't that many but I suppose it may also depend on what you mean by similar.

Well for sure anything NIS America has released so far which includes Atelier Arland saga, Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 and 2, Last Rebellion, Trinity Universe, Cross Edge, Disgaea, and Bleach(even though that's more of a hack and slash game with RPG elements), plus some upcoming games like Legasista(PSN), The Witch and the Hundred Knights, and Mugen Souls.

Outside of them you have all 3 Record of Agarest War games(excluding the PSP game), Tales of Graces F, Eternal Sonata, Valkyria Chronicles, Tears to Tiara(import only), Rune Factory, Tales of Vesperia(import only), and others as well.

While I do think some of the game mechanics are flawed, but if they weren't good, I wouldn't even mentioned them(though I did just name every Anime-style JRPG I could think of that's good and that exists which is maybe all or at least most of them).

The story behind the games is mostly a joke(not in a bad way but in a funny way) since it's a parody of the generations of the videogaming industry and companies who made them with all of the Goddesses representing some console or handheld gaming system. It's also a crossover from a few niche publishers/developers like Gust, Idea Factory/Compile Heart, Red Entertainment, 5pb., NIS and Sega.

So basically don't expect some epic storytelling or anything like that since the game itself is not taking itself seriously just like the other crossover JRPGs from Idea Factory/Compile Heart such as Cross Edge and Trinity Universe which are more about the humor than storytelling.

If I had to choose, the 2nd Neptunia game is better with the 1st game giving you basically a good understanding of the series and what's going on. Plus now there's a 3rd game coming out in Japan, which will mean it will likely come to America sometime early next year which seems like it may improve even more than the 2nd game did from the 1st.

Sounds good enough; hope the first game isn't that expensive
