    Lol you still buy your games on the highstreet? Get it for £30.41 (= €35) on Amazon mate here. Cut out the middle man and run these game stores out of business. Over-prices and poor selection. Internet shopping ftw.

    Just pick up a 3V card or something like it. Very handy.

    Do you have an AIB or Ulster Bank ATM card? If so, you can play with laser.
    Also, you may find these useful. Plenty of people use 3V cards for shopping online. Just top it up (like buying mobile phone credit) and away you go!

    No offence mate, but if you're stupid enough to buy games on the highstreet then you deserve to get ripped off.

    I did'nt bother getting it in the end,the review on gamespot put me off but shopto.net was the cheapest place I could find.

    Got this off ebay the other day for about 40e altogether.
    Not sure what to think of it yet though... It's mostly character driven but there's hardly any story in it. Looks like a typical moeblob production (has a fair amount of innuendos though!).
    Gameplay wise it's still old alchemy system with Mana Khemia like time limits but much less exploration and battles.

    Think I liked my Atelier Iris series better. :pac:

    Thanks for the review! Think I will wait it out too, can imagine zavvi will be selling it for 20e in the coming weeks, can't imagine it shifting many copies after those reviews...

    Atelier has gone from a very interesting RPG to a Moe fest unfortunately. The main character just gets younger and younger with each iteration.

    as i gueesed, a professional MOE product:pac: i believe anyone who is into loli/cutesy anime girls will defo enjoy it tho.

    that said, all jrpg here(regardless of the quality or how old they are) are always high priced in walk-in shop. except ff13, which is the first time ever i see a non-2nd hand game priced at 15e something.
