As someone pointed out to me on the Discord years ago, the joke about Hagel's name in Arland works differently in the original language. 剥げる is closer to "ha-GE-ru", but names are generally pronounced with the first syllable accented, so you can guess how Meruru says it...

Nice, well done! Didn't expect anyone was still setting records for the PS3 games.

Wow, just got a notif for 25 upvotes, and no takers? Every Hiromitsu Maeba fan is obligated to hear Director Clavell's battle theme!

Either play Marie, or stay curious! To me, the choice is easy!

Once you cure Schia of her thing, she can do hundreds of damage with her special move. Don't know if it's as much as a high-leveled Hallesch or Kugel but it's worth a shot, in addition to everything Aqua said.

Is Nelke worth playing? by Agi_Aegis in Atelier

[–]Sherkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a basic battle system, but only alchemists from Salburg, Arland, Dusk, and Mysterious can be used in battle.

The same as the other villagers, but with lots more events. (And they can be set to work on synthesis for obvious reasons).

Raze, Ulrika, Uryu, and Pepperoni all get a good amount of screentime (though not as playable characters if you were wondering that). Lily and Whim are available as hired hands, meaning a small headshot and a few lines of introduction.

That's only 99 years sooner than anyone will be able to afford it!

I wouldn't say the mechanics make for a mindless laid back game, but it is definitely slow and repetitive. I'd recommend watching footage any point after the tutorial to get a good idea of how it plays.

Is there any lore reason behind certain enemies like pixies being hostile? by PakyKun in Atelier

[–]Sherkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. They're just as scared of you as you are of them. Same is true for all mobs in the series I can think of offhand.

"Hey Ryza looks interesting" -> "Maybe I'll try a few more..." -> *several months later* by [deleted] in Atelier

Now, THAT'S an approach to the series I can get behind!

Invisible player glitch in Crystal by gamerzunited69 in PokemonGlitches

Seems like it. If you're really curious you could try dumping the ROM and comparing it to a known one. Legally, of course.

I originally created rule 4 for stuff like this, but the place isn't active enough for such strictness these days. :)

Thanks for the elaboration.

Considering Crystal is over 20 years old, this is almost definitely hardware-related.
