Makai Station

Don't know if anyone realized, but Anthiphona was released last Thursday. I completely forgot and the pretty limited edition is sold out right now. Even if it was out, I couldn't buy it because I just spent a lot of IIDX Empress. Anyways, I found Famitsu's review for Antiphona and it received an average score.

[PSP]Princess Antiphona's Hymn: Angel's Score Op.A　7/7/7/6

Rune Factory 3 was also reviewed and got 9/8/8/8. Probably good news for anyone who enjoys the series as it seems to be looking like a good, fun game.

In other news, this is a few weeks old, but Gust announced Atelier Lina for the DS. Lina looks to be a sequel to Lise and Annie and like it's predecessors the premise of this game has to deal with money in some way. Anyways, here's a brief synopsis.


"The story of Atelier Lina is a pretty hilarious mixture of misconceptions.  As Lina, you’re a girl just starting out as an alchemist, having just passed the state exam.  Just when she was going to tell the good news to Luon, her childhood friend was apparently in a big fight with his dad and ran off.  She chases him and they end up at the edge of some woods … which happens to be on fire.

 Of course, being at the scene of the crime automatically means “caught red-handed” to the monsters who live in the forest, so to make them pay, the two have to earn enough money to rebuild the forest in three years."
 

The art design so the DS line of Atelier games has really grown on me. Now I wonder if Annie is going to appear in this just like Lisette does in the former's game. Also, speaking of Annie, her game comes out next week. I already have the box set pre-ordered.
