And obviously, the climax of the entire trilogy. It's quite exciting to think of what could actually be featured in that game, too. Third tower, a new administrator/janitor: Halvastasha (or whatever Jakuri's "counterpart" was called), new Reyvateil partners (I am pretty sure Cocona will be there), and then, who knows, yet another new fighting system, this time with attacking Reyvateils? After all, the society around Tyria is mostly restricted to Reyvateils, so I wouldn't be surprised if they acquired different abilities. I wouldn't be disappointed to see all the main characters from AT1 and AT2 appear in it either. In any case, I really am looking forward to it. AT1 was good, AT2 was great, hope that AT3 will be excellent. ;) Rumor (or rather, popular wishful thinking) has it that it might be announced at the next Tokyo Game Show, but it seems quite unlikely as of now, yet.

(Which means you must not go to Luca's or Cloche's deeper cosmospheres (past Lv. 5) or Jakuri's mind guardian will kick you out at the end of Lv 5!) Also, whenever you get a new dress for her, equip it and fight a couple of fights (I think 6? One dress needs 15 fights, though.) It will always unlock a new topic about the costume. Capturing a certain number of IPDs also unlocks one or two topics. I can't really remember what other stuff there needs to be done, but I hope this helped at least a little!

Looking at some gameplay videos of the Japanese version, it made me realize how much of the great spoken dialogue we are missing because NISA decided to replace part of them with shitty dubs (which are incomplete, still). Even the Intro is shitty (out of sync), and the main logo insert looks simply so much better in the Jap version too. I managed to fetch an undub version of AT2, and the first few minutes of the game already filled me with rage and disappointment that I spent money on an absolutely borked localization. I almost baww'd when I heard Cynthia's voice. Really a shame I can't play with her (in both ways). And Sasha, desu. And... no, Spica could've remained mute. Meh. tl;dr NISA fucked up big time and now I want to play the real game. Too bad I can't take over the extra data from my PAL savegame, since the Undub is NTSC. :(

Shame you couldn't like Spica more. I guess she's too damned awesome for you. Yeah, that has to be it. I should point at you in SHAME. I joke. Endings, endings, endings. I didn't devote myself to a single girl until I had access to Frelia's Binary Field. Why? I just made a second save file, and used it for another ending. I obviously went for the regular ending before any attempts on a Reyvateil-specific ending. Was working on Jacqli, but decided to take a break from the game. I didn't work much on diving into IPDs, so I was lacking a topic for Jacqli's 8th Level. I'll work on it some other time. I enjoyed the increased difficulty in this game, even if a majority of that difficulty was in fighting Lv. 9 IPDs, and Raki. If one can resist temptation, they can make the game harder by not using IPDs with Guard, and by not abusing the Blue Magic glitch. I couldn't resist said temptation, though. I may do so when I start the game over for Cloche's ending. tl;dr this comment. I'm too lazy to type. Congratz on beating the game. Shame you couldn’t like Spica more.

Special ending, plus... you get to hear a duet between Jakuri and Croix. Yeah, he apparently learned Hymnos just to sing for her. :D If you haven’t gotten Jakuri’s ending yet, go do so, please.
