Atlus please bring Arcana Heart 2 with its remake to USA.

[Yggdrasil]

While I do like the Japanese voice overs I really only care about having the voices ingame (durring the match) so I don't care either way, but I do like the fact that on S! they say something durring the VS screen, and that you can actually skip the versus screen. Thats one good thing the managed, heh.

[Dragon God]

I actually think they handeled the localization well. They translated it better than I expected, especially since fighting games rarely have a high translation priority.

[Yggdrasil]

The first game was perfectly fine. I din't have any problems with it

[Dragon God]

Indeed. Personally, I like voice acting restricted to the fights in fighting games, english or japanese.

[grgspunk]

that's a very rude thing to say.

No, the "half-assed" comment was actually a valid point. The text translation was nice since their staff is most likely very experienced, but this game was given a low release price of 30 dollars--It's most likely that Atlus didn't have very high sales expectations and tried to give it a relatively quick and low budget localization.

Besides, AH1 was released in very limited quantities. How can you expect to have high sales if you don't release any copies at all?

I'd like to have voices too--It brings the cutesyness/sexyness of the characters to life, especially since the voices of characters are often key to portraying the various anime personalities/archetypes/fetishes they represent (this game isn't just about "fighting", it's also about "moe"). If you think they'd suck, they always have an option to turn it down or turn it off. I really don't see why it would hurt retain the full voice acting in the first place. Hell, I'd love to see a dub option. What? There are plenty of dub fans too.

Considering the fact that this is a heavily otaku-oriented game, why would it hurt to give the weaboos what they want? The game was practically made for them.

[Yggdrasil]

There are parts of that I agree with.
There are parts of that I do not agree with.
There are parts of that I am going to pretend I didn't read for that sanctity of my mind.

I value this game more for it's amazing gameplay than the character designs, though they are good some of them, it's all just pixels and hit boxes to me. My favorite phrase regarding this game. Besides as far as amazing character design, no one on this game beats out my precious Bridget from Guilty Gear (Kira and Fiona are really close though).

[grgspunk]

There are parts of that I agree with.
There are parts of that I do not agree with.
There are parts of that I am going to pretend I didn't read for that sanctity of my mind.

Lol, mind pointing them out?

On another note, although you'll see some common cosplay elements, the focus of the characters isn't necessarily all about their "design style", but rather the personalities, archetypes and stereotypes they represent. It makes them more than just pixels and hitboxes--That's why I prefer to keep the voices in.

Oh, and I prefer to stay away from traps, thank you very much.

[Dragon God]

This game has good gameplay and character designs to me.

Every character had an interesting personality to me. I think they focused more on the character's personalities than most fighting games do. (Either that, or it's the story mode. Which is good since most fighting games have some pretty choppy approaches to story, though not criticizing any)

The gameplay happens to be quite solid. The arcana system does not feel gimmicky to me, and I'm still experimenting with it. The air combos are good, though a pain sometime.

And on the subject of voice acting, I'm just saying I'm fine any way Atlus willtake it. Full or Partial. I don't care, though Full would be nice, Partial would be fine too.

Oh, and lets not make this a bash the localization thread, more of a 'support the idea of a US release for the sequal' thread.

[Yggdrasil]

No bashing intended from me, not that I think that was directed at me. I like the characters from AH, they were well put together, the story was not the best but it is the very first in a fighting game series so that's not odd to me. I just think it's funny that concern for things like voices seem to be more important than actual gameplay related issues. The voices from the first one were fine so I'd be fine having S! the same way. They definately have others issues to work on before something like that anyway.

I remeber when I bought this game the guys at the store asked me if I was sur because it was an all girl fighting game and was probably pretty cheesy and bad. Fortunately for me I like to judge that sort of thing myself so I still bought it and it was worth the chance, so I can only hope this sucessor will get it's second chance at being as good as the first. I'd love to see this game get into a crossover series (especially if it was with Arc Sys). I can totally see Bridget as a guest character on this game. :D

[Dragon God]

I hope it can somehow have that luck too. I dunno how a Guilty Gear crossover would fit though, to be honest XD

Anyways, I'm perfectly fine with whatever diretion they would take. They could leave it entirely untranslated and I'd still buy it, given that there are no arcades where I live.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Considering the fact that this is a heavily otaku-oriented game, why would it hurt to give the weaboos what they want? The game was practically made for them.

LOLOL You mean you?
Of course it does: We're the only group of people that's actively willing to buy this game. You don't want to make it our way? Fine. We'll hold onto our $29.99.

I'd also like to point out...
Don't #### up like this again, Atlus. I really like to preorder things, but now I have to wait until your titles are released to make sure everything's intact: As a consumer base, don't make us take the next step and avoid buying your games altogether, because it WILL happen if you give us a reason to do so. Most of us do not buy your games out of just sheer company loyalty--Keep this in mind when localizing games in the future.

[peasantman]

I can't believe people want this game despite being buggy as hell. The only thing that seems not to matter is PLAYING the game huh?

Well you know, it's a package when it comes down to it. If it was just about the gameplay, just for fighting gamers and nothing else was important, they could have just gone for something less risky and...Cutesy, you know? Considering the fact that one of their staff cosplayed as Aino Heart for Halloween last year, I'm pretty sure their own affinity towards the girlyness of the game came into play when deciding to release it. Besides, Atlus wasn't allowed to touch the gameplay code for the first game. If this one was released, I'm not exactly sure if Examu would be willing to let Atlus attempt to work on the game's slowdown issues. Besides, I never really was affected by it myself to be honest.

Anyways, I'm willing to support Atlus on their release of AH2, I just want them to have a little more confidence in it as a title. If they can do something about the slowdown issues, that'd be nice too.

[Necrosis]

Atlus sure as hell WAS allowed to make changes to AH1. The american version's training mode 2P life regen happens sooner than the JP PS2 version of AH1.

[grgspunk]

Are you really sure it was intentional and done by Atlus instead of Examu themselves? Because I recall seeing an Atlus rep posting on this board last year and specifically saying that they weren't allowed to touch the gameplay code.

[Dragon God]

I can't believe people want this game despite being buggy as hell. The only thing that seems not to matter is PLAYING the game huh?

Look, I have no other choice. I don't have a legit arcade where I live as I got done saying. I'd rather play an available flawed version, then never have my chance to judge.

And playing is all it is for me.

[Necrosis]

I cannot confirm if that was or wasn't an intentional change, but I would ask, how would you accidentally change that? It doesn't seem like something that would be simple to accidentally change while translating anything, especially since the training mode is already in english in the japanese version.

[Yggdrasil]

I want a fixed version of the game I already have an imported copy of the currented dissapointment. I'm not quite sure if Atlus does any thing to the games before bringing them over but perhaps they're allowed to make suggestions, that would seem reasonable yes?
As a side note I'd love to see some AH cosplayers. I was thinking about doing that myself, but I'll see how people react to my Bridget cosplay first.

[affinity]

I can't believe people want this game despite being buggy as hell. The only thing that seems not to matter is PLAYING the game huh?

you should think before saying anything if you want to understand how others feel about still enjoy the port despite the minor flaws we've already discussed and seen in videos.

Then again, you only care about your closed minded point of view, so reasoning with you is impossible.

[Necrosis]

Affinity, I thought you were done with this thread? And all I'm going to say is that this game has become a joke, but ou wouldn't know, because while you sit at home and criticize our closed-minded points of view, some of us actually are playing it, and some of us with other people, while discussing how closed-minded we are for disliking a bad port.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Affinity, I thought you were done with this thread?

I'm done with this topic.
lolol

[Dragon God]

I'm considering giving up...

Actually, I found my third option, so I'm taking a break until further notice. Besides, having people hate you isn't fun.

[psu319]

Well I'll *bump* it.

[Zacewing]

I can't believe people want this game despite being buggy as hell. The only thing that seems not to matter is PLAYING the game huh?

What are you talking about?

The only thing I have a problem with is the awful loading times. And the final boss of Story Mode (infinite comboing you to death wut).

[Callidin]

Aah aah busy with work, will have time to do a full review on Sunday I think. Haven't had enough time with it yet.

[Dragon God]

Breaks over, third option is virtually nonexistant =p

Anyways, I hope this gets some attention. Indeed, I'd hate the loading times too, but I'd be fine with everything else. ((But Examu has no excuse XD)) In other words, I'd defintately buy it.

[gaara877]

i thing we remake thousand arm than arcana... dont u thing this game is so best than arcana...:(

If you believe so, bring it to it's own thread. This is spam. Sorry, but you can't go around spamming.

[Hideki-Motosuwa]

Wow....this thread is still going huh? I haven't said anything since page 3 & 4 but oh well.

Out of all that was said, I'll have to totally agree with Necrosis on everything he said. Sure, i wont bash anyone who is willing to buy this pile of fail but all I can say is that you need to take into big consideration whether or not its worth blowing your money on.

I bought it because of hype and anticipation because the first AH was wonderful even with its small flaws.......it was still wonderful. Now we jump to S!AH2 and I was expecting the same thing then long and behold, I get a bad product. Do I support it? No. Heck, its been sitting on my shelf ever since it was released and I've only touched it about 5 times total since its release. I'm a avid fighting game fan and I love them but this kind of thing shouldn't happen when you have loyal fans whom are willing to buy your product.

All said and done, Atlus will need to have a lot of meetings with Examu before porting this over if they ever decide to. Otherwise, keep the game over in Japan and move on cause it'll be a waste of time to port this over in its current state.

You know.... you may have a point...

I'll admit, I heard that it's not completely unplayable though... that and no arcades around is the only reason. If one was to spring up soon? I'd do exactly as you said.

[Necrosis]

yeah it's not ENTIRELY unplayable. It's just that certain characters altogether, most arcana moves, etc. all make it lag to all hell, which is entirely unacceptable for tournament and even in some cases casual play.

[Dragon God]

Hm.... maybe that third option makes more sense than I originally thought now.

Just why did Examu have to screw up on this... it makes it a pain for the arcadeless ones like me.

[Yggdrasil]

I know how you feel I'm really excited for the completion of the arcade near me. Still no able to support multiple machine for fighters so only one at a time now, currently enjoying learning Melty Blood Act Cadenza.

I don't know where you are but if we ever get an S!AH I'll let post it on here. That'd likely be a while though as my friend buys the boards when they're cheaper a S! won't be going down for some time.

Once again I don't know if there are ever any posts from Atlus reps in the forums, but it'd be nice to here somehting about any talks with Examu, or anything thing at all regarding the game, else I believe all of this to be in vain.

Someone mentioned something about Ecole earlier right? I'm not that familiar with them but they worked on MB too right?

Actually, I'm thinking of building one in my basement when I have the money.

[Callidin]

Ok I have had some time with the game and now the results of a semi-optimist.

Alright, I liked it. It's not nearly what it could have been but I liked it.

-The graphics are bad. They get pixelated if you move and the last boss' arcana Halo looks like a white pixel blob. I would have expected better of a PS2 game.

It's 2.5 so the characters aren't as balanced as they could have been. Enough said.

=neutral point:The lag, while there, has been overblown. I can honestly say it didn't affect me much except during a super which doesn't matter as much because you can't do much during most specials anyway. Most characters play almost lag free actually. I even adjusted to Petra which helped when fighting her and she also isnt' as bad as people say. Deffinitly not game breaking but you won't get the fast paced combos you see in the arcade version vids.

+It plays great, it feels like arcana heart. The controls from 1 to 2 are different but you get used to it after a few rounds. (dont' feel bad if you accidently press X to use arcana moves) I wasn't able to push the characters to their limits due to my thumb was door slammed before I started playing. Probably not doing myself a favor by playing so long :D.

I like the critical heart idea. It's fun to see a combo go into a giant finish. However some are a bit much. If you get hit my Petra's say goodbye to about 3/4's of your health. Kira's goes more for 4/5's. Ok now I'm overdoing to numbers too.

Overall the game is fun. I'm enjoying it much. If it had been a true port of the arcade I probably would have given it a 10/10 however the flaws are a little much to overlook so I give it 7.6. The lag isn't even close o game breaking and for the most part it plays smoothly and quickly. I love most of the additional characters and arcana's. My biggest gripe being Lilica isn't as good as she was in the first game when it comes to strength. Her combos are better but she doesn't do as much damage. I would buy the game, I did buy the game actually. It's not going to make the tournament frenzy people happy but it made me happy.

7.6/good

Anywho I've got to play more. I need to get my skills back up, and hope my thumb survives >:].

[babypuncher]

We have Arcana Heart 2 at our ONE Arcade where I live. Its worth the hour ride to get there for this game, and MvC2 and 3rd strike, but If this got a ps2 relese it wuld be GDLK

[Yggdrasil]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm also glad you didn't rank it 10/10. I think 7 is a bit high even but whatever. Anywho that's all, I swear I saw something about a Higurashi game so Peace.

[Dragon God]

Of course, I'm fine with whatever decision Atlus makes.
Besides, it is up to them in the end.

[Necrosis]

What you probably didn't notice about the lag is that the game actually DROPS INPUTS during lag, or at least seems to. I won't argue about the lag being overblown, we've been there already, but the way the game drops inputs requires stating/restating (I don't remember if I mentioned it beore).

Critical Hearts overall aren't that great, honestly. Most characters get more damage for the meter by just doing a normal combo where they can insert a CH into the combo. Petra's takes a full clip of ammo and 3 meters, and doesn't really combo that easily. Even if you do combo it, it scales the damage down like mad and it isn't worth it. Kira's is one of the exceptions, as is Fiona's, as they are both grab supers for MASSIVE damage, but even then you might not want to spend three meters on that. Just saying, they aren't really all THAT good.

[Callidin]

I never said they were good just that I liked the idea. For example to pull of Lilica's you need to do at least a 3 combo before you can use it. I would really only use them if it was the end of the battle and it matched in with a combo attack. It's like Soul Criticals in SCIV. You never use them but they are fun to see now and again.

I never had any dropped commands. Everything I put in went through. I'll watch for it though just in case I am missing it.

[Yggdrasil]

Off the topic of the game quality, and on the topic of CH, I cant help but laugh anytime I see or think about Angelia's CH. Just the funniest thing in the world to me.

It's a level 3 super, so I'd compare it to a level 3 super. It's just a super that takes 3 bars and sometimes has other conditions to do.

If Atlus does plan to bring this over, they should make sure EXAMU optimizes the port IMHO. The game is playable but glitchy, but I believe it's because the port was rushed.

No worries. If Atlus USA won't, then, let's ask XSEED to localize it, seeing how the latter is owned by the original Japanese publisher (AQ Interactive).

At the end of the day, I just want this to show up in the US.

Although seeing how XSEED would handle it would be interesting. I'm fine either way.

if they decide to remake it for ps3 or 360 then yes, as it stands, the ps2 can't even run the game properly.

Arcana Heart 3 should definitely come to PS3. SAH2 proves PS2 just can't handle it 100%, and the complaints will probably have Examu take the AH3 port more seriously, and they would have an easier time on PS3 hardware, and possibly add online play too!


also, The King of Fighters XII is gonna be so great online! Me and some fwends have been researched all information and stuff about it and gameplay videos, and have already made up a Clan planned for PS3 version's online play. KOFXII arrives July 28th 2009 :)
we've also been KOF fans longer than other series, and with the new sprites, gameplay changes, and back to the traditional KOF team goodness, KOFXII already offers enough to keep us entertained until Arcana Heart 3 or KOFXIII, whichever comes sooner!

here's a preview of the online options. :)

there might even be character DLC. ^^

wait what? I haven't even heard plans for a AH3 release in arcades yet.

If anything we might hear something after SBO but really I think Daemon Bride will be EXAMU's focus for a while.

[Yggdrasil]

I know I just said that I feel the AH3 will come into existance... not sure when, but probably will happen...
KoF will be pretty kickass... I love that Leona is back...
*Goes back to playing BlazBLue*

they said they will make an Arcana Heart 3 after that DB arcade game they are making.
Arcana Heart series really saved their hides because it was their last resort to make money. It became popular and that's why they eventually made a sequel, but they won't stop there.

Wait, where was this stated?

[Yggdrasil]

I'd like to know that at well... If they say so then I feel much better about the future of this game...

You mean each of those revisions costing hundreds more didn't net them anything?

What are they on now, 2.8?

I think it was 2.6 but anyway, they said there will be an Arcana Heart 3, so we just have to wait.

That's good to know. But was it stated in Famitsu or something?

It's a Trap!

[purifyws]

Hi. I still want this game. The Japanese version is still sitting in my kitchen somewhere, still in the wrap. lol.

[dungeon_man]

Didn't we all lose interest in this after it was reported that the PS2 port was of poor quality? Poor quality arcade ports stopped being acceptable in the early 90s.

Very true. I'm interested in the series and a fixed port of the game. I don't see that happening anytime soon but I'd definitely be interested in it...

[dungeon_man]

Well, Atlus isn't going to fix this game. That's not what they do. If you're really serious about this series, be a trooper and buy the PCB.

Beyond that, you'd have more luck pleading for a better port with a game developer.

[grgspunk]

Well actually Atlus has been known to fix glitches and bugs that have been present in original versions of the games they release, so it's not impossible that they could do it.

They could just cooperate with the developer in that respect.

[Yggdrasil]

I didn't mean that I want Atlus to fix this game I just meant that I'd be interested in a fixed version. I don't really care who does it so long as it's of much higher quality than this. I already own the game... I just don't play it because it's mind grating as it is...

[Dragon God]

Yeah, TBH, I'm just gonna wait it out right now.

It'd be nice, but I'm not gonna be too vocal for the moment.

After all, as everyone knows, anything can happen.

i want arcana heart 2, the first one was a great game, i still play it. it got good sales in America for a nich game, so the first one was a great deal for atlus. i HOPE atlus bring it next spring. arcana heart franchise has an interesting future also.
