Game breaking Glitch found in Ar Tonelico 2
So what's next?
by Zantagor
I kind of wish I heard about this before I ordered the game, but now's too late since it's already shipped.
Anyway, for anyone planing on getting the game Ar Tonelico 2 on PS2, be aware that a game freezing glitch is present in the game at a specific boss battle where the game will freeze no matter what at some specific point.
I seriously hope that NISA is planing on rectifying the issue as it does not bode well for the company image as a whole on this.
If you look at forums about the game, you can see that this issue is widespread, and present in literally all copies of the game.
I've contacted NISA about this issue, and will post whatever answer they'll give me (if any)
But if nothing is done, there might very well be a class action suit involved at some point as the game is near unfinishable because of this!

widespread recall..
Well, my order didn't ship yet, so I canceled it for now :/
Wow, that uh... sucks. I'll also look into this. Since it's a PS2 game it's not like they can just patch it, I wonder what they'll do.
the only thing they could do is do a mass recall or have you send in the game and they will ship you a replacement correct?
normally, yes....
but as I recall, NISA have very little to do with the programing of the game itself, they only handle what's necessary for localization. They could always just do nothing, which would suck.
Also, from what I heard, this isn't the only glitch the game has, it has many.... like freezes at the end of random encounter.
This is kind of disappointing, since I loved the 1st one, and was looking forward toward this one too :/
well NISA only did localization but if this is a game stopping glitch, i would hope that NISA would work with Gust to resolve the issue.
Sam Bishop, the IGN reviewer for the game hit the glitch I'm talking about apparently.

Aside from the glitch though, from what I played, the game is awesome.
