Whew! I did it. I finally got the platinum in Atelier Rorona. The last two endings I needed were Pie and Millionaire. However, the last two trophies I got were Hom Level 50 and the Millionaire. Getting the Pie Ending was easier than I thought. I'd say that has been my favorite ending. It's really gratifying to see Rorona, Totori, Meruru and Ayesha all lined up with 100% completion. I think the Atelier series is easily in my top 5 video game series' of all time.

Now I can focus on non-gaming stuff until Tales of Xillia 2 comes out. ^___^

I'm pretty sure Shallie is the last of them. But, since they seem to be better than the Arland games, they might have a fourth in store for us.

I got Iksel's and Sterk's ending. Up next are the Good and Bad endings, and then I'll finally be able to focus on making money and pie.

I'll have to keep all of that in mind when I start Escha and Logy. I think I'm more excited about Shallie and getting around to playing Rorona Plus.

As an update, I got Astrid's ending which was apparently the hardest one to get. I was also able to earn the trophies for completing the item encyclopedia and the monster encyclopedia. Now, I'm trying to make it so my alchemy level and Hom level reach 50.

It's actually a lot better than the last few times I played. Maybe it's because I know how to manage my time, or maybe it's because I made some good bombs. Either way, I think I'm doing pretty well as of now. I have everyone's friendship at 100 so I can FINALLY just focus on getting my levels up.

It sounds like you're doing just fine  ;D

Understanding the time management, having 1HKO bombs, knowing the flags, and saving smartly makes ALL the difference & makes it, IMO, a very manageable platinum.

I think that one of the differences that I'm looking forward to the most when I get around to playing RoRo+ is...

...Astrid as a playable character  8)

Yes! Astrid better be as broken as I picture her to be. XD As an update, I'm now traveling through the Orthalohexon and trying to find the recepies I'm missing. Once I have those, I plan on making everything I can.

BTW, how are you liking Escha and Logy?

KASH -

It's been too long since I've played it to remember the answers to most of your questions, so I'd say go with whatever Krystal said.  Alternatively, try asking DRACHE ( thedork / meister) on either the RPG's EE board or the Rorona board; she's also very knowledgeable about (and has written FAQs) for, iirc, all of the PS3 Atelier games.

I *DO* remember that making the wig doesn't lock you into or out of the other endings.

How are you liking it?

I just finished Escha's play through & I'm getting ready to start Logy's...

KASH -

Playing RoRo?!

I am and, actually, maybe I can get your input on how I'm doing so far. I emailed Krystal some questions, but it doesn't hurt to have more opinions. I'll just copy and paste what I emailed her.

"Right now, I'm on year 3. I did as you suggested and made a couple of extra saves. As it stands now, every character and NPC has 100 friendship except for Cole. He is resting at 79. His friend requests are the most annoying sine he always wants me to make armor or weapons, but I'm sure I can get him to 100 without much trouble. My town popularity is at 80%. I already got my 100% popularity trophy and reverted back to an old file. Finally, I only got 8 stars on each assignment so far. Now for some questions.

 

1. Do I have enough time to level Rorona and Cordy to 50? Sterk still hasn't unlocked the Ortha dungeon yet, but I think you said he does that starting 3/1.

2. My next question is about Sterk's flag with the dragon. If I beat him, does that lock me into his ending? If it doesn't, I'll go back and beat him.

3. Esty has Cordy's request for the Shimmering Sand. If I turn it in, does that lock me into Cordelia's ending? I saw somewhere that you need to actually finish five of these to do that. If I do this one now, it would make four.

4. I have a request from Hagel to make a wig. Does doing that mess up any of the character flags?

5. I'm getting a bit worried about Bounty Quests. There was this one I wasn't ready for before regarding a Gang Leader (I think). Esty hasn't been showing it for a while. Is there some method to getting Bounty Quests to appear?"

What do you think? Am I doing alright?

@90s: I see you're headed to Nashville. That's where I live now. It's been pretty kind to me so far, but the job market is really tough unless you know someone and have inside information. Good luck.

By 11%, I mean I have 11% of the trophy collection in the original Atelier Rorona. All of the other Ateliers I've played have been fully completed.

I don't mind following a guide, so that's no problem with me.

Hey dark, quick question for you. Tales of Xillia 2 comes out on August 19th. I need something to play until then. So, I was thinking of finally attempting to get that Rorona platinum by keeping Krystal's guide handy. I emailed her a few times and she said that Rorona was actually easier to 100% than Meruru. I know you got the Rorona platinum, so I was wondering if you thought I had enough time to do it all before ToX2. As you know, once Tales is out, all other games need to take a back seat. XD

Rorona or Rorona Plus?

The original Rorona was the longest, most aggravating, & most annoying Atelier game that I've ever played / platinumed - I hear that the Plus version is much improved.


I do like the fact that a lot of us have remained here still active the whole time.

Believe it or not...Soera was posting here for a long time as a mortal -not- a Mod!  :P

The Intro thread, I think, is another cool one to read through for the same reasons   8)

The original. It just looks wrong having Totori, Meruru and Ayesha (and eventually Escha and Shallie) having 100% perfection and Rorona being at a sad 11%. XD

Maybe look up his review and read it? :P

His title is "This is a difficult game to recommend, but those who see it through will be well rewarded."

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/998014-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch/reviews/review-153487

Thanks for saving me the trouble. ^_~

And heaven forbid I score something the way I feel it should be scored. The humanity of it all! XD

Ah, NNK. I gave that game a 6/10 on GameFAQs.com and earned review of the month for it. Such a mixed bag, that title.

All of this talk of weather made me want to chime in. I love the heat and I don't mind the cold. However, I loathe snow. Snow is the worst thing ever.

Oh, and 3D Dot Game Heroes platinum acquired!

I've been fortunate with my Sega Saturn collection. Two of the games I got were gifts, and the third I happened to find during a random outing.

Dang, you too. I just looked at what you have, Albert Odyssey is another that's been on my wishlist for-freaking-ever.

Albert Odyssey was the one I just happened upon during a random store outing. I got a major deal for it, too. I think I only spent 30 or 35 dollars. This was only a few years ago. I know the price on places like amazon is crazy expensive, but I do recommend it because I had a really great time with it.

Have a birthday, anniversary or something like that coming up? Ask for a game. They make great gifts, and even greater surprises. ^___^
