My Ar Tonelico Qoga Just Arrived

Pardon the background but I got too excited and rushed to take some pictures ^^. After a long two weeks of waiting, my Ar Tonelico Qoga, a final installment of Ar Tonelico series, finally arrived in the mail. Since it was shipped from US through NIS America, it took sometime because of custom ^^;;

I played the Ar Tonelico 1 pretty thoroughly and I finished both Arcs but didn't finish Ar Tonelico 2 because I lost interest in it. Maybe, I will pick up where it was left one of these days since my PS2 just sits there and collects dust ^^;;.

Ar Tonelico Qoga (AR3) Cosmosphere calendar set includes AR3 premium box and a calendar for a total cost of $69.99 so the calendar is worth about $10 which I think it’s a pretty good price for a calendar and it’s a rare item. The premium box itself contains AR3: Knell of Ar Ciel for PS3, an art book and official OST CD. Even without the calendar, the premium box is well worth it considering how much PS3 games cost these days ranging from $59.99 to $69.99 for new games. Most of the time, there’s no extra items come with the game itself.

Finally, will the game worth the price tag considering AR1 was a pretty big success and AR2 was somewhat a flop or so I heard ? For those, who has started the game, what do you think ? is it better than the first two games ? Check what other people says about the game on NIS America official forum before you decide to buy the game.

Claymore Chapter 113 : Spearhead of Rebellion

Chapter Summary

Continuing from previous chapter, the organization , leading by Dae, continues with the experiment using previous single digit Claymores and turns them into the strongest warriors. Louvre stops by at Dae’s lab to check how things are going and suddenly Master Limt’s servant comes to ask Dae what the progress is on the project. He also mentions that the research facility in the northern mountains was attacked and the culprit is most likely the mysterious group which is no other than Deneve, Helenn and others.

Back to northern facility, Helenn’s group and Anastasia’s group are enjoying their time killing those abyssal beings. While slashing here and there, Deneve and Anastasia got into talking. Devene is still not sure if Anastasia is ready to go against the organization but Anastasia seems confident that she has what it takes and besides Anastasia states that she is just simply traveling with Devene and the rest.

At the organization, all Claymores gather and prepare to counter an attack from the mysterious group which is already considered as a rebel by the organization. All claymore prepares for battle without any hesitation and Louvre thinks that the previous battle with Phantom Miria reminds them how powerful the enemy is. However, Louvre is completely wrong because those claymores recall their battle with Miria. Miria was certainly too overwhelming even for current single digits in the organization but none of them is dead and they were just knocked off unconscious.

Suddenly, all Claymores stop moving and all of them steps aside for their leader and she is someone that’s familiar for us. That’s right, she is………….. (I don’t want to spoil it so go read chapter 133 🙂 )
