...that I love NIS and Gust. They really get it right. I am playing Atelier Iris for the first time and am loving it. There is just something about their games that makes me all happy-go-lucky (I'm usually like that anyways but the games don't hurt :P ). Ar Tonelico was the same way. The games definitely only appeal to a more anime-oriented crowd, but the humor, music, and just overall light-heartedness of each game just makes it such a pleasure to play. Don't get me wrong, I love a good dark story as much as the next guy (Heavy Rain and Dragon Age: Origins come to mind as the most recent ones I've played). All I'm saying is as a change in pace from all the modern Final Fantasies (except for maybe IX), the Bethesda games, and the shooters of today it's nice to pick up a game that just makes you laugh and smile. :D
