I’ve been thinking of checking Mana Khemia out ever since it was announced it was getting a PSP port.

What’s up with the so called glitch in one of the battles?? I haven’t quite figured it out yet.

the freeze glitch happens when fighting rheki as an optional boss for 15 times basically you had to kill her before phase 3 attack/defense phase but that was when a fix patch was non existing

“I also noticed that Alvero was called something like ‘Vajisil’ in the AI3 Japanese dialogue”

Vajisil? isn’t that an ointment for a feminine problem? :P

Hmm, I’ve always wanted to play an alchemy academy simulator!

Well, maybe not, but the review makes me think it might be worth doing.

No worries. Most often characters that appear late in the game come equiped with all these powerfull spells/attacks or they are just to weak.

Muppy is a somewhat blend of it, give him time and he´ll turn out an awesome defence character that you don´t want to leave out. Don´t give him time and he´ll suck like hell.

Pamela is fun to use, at least after you´ve learned her attack that does more damage as her life decreases, it´s a kinda cool nice thing to use her skills which decrease HP and then you finish it of with this attack that I think even restored her HP :)

And that she auto revives after a while is also a good thing. Yay for ghosts that can´t die :)

Thanks for the tips :)

I noticed they were calling Jess “Philo” in the Japanese dialogue, which is the shortened version of her surname ‘Philomele’ in the English manual (same for ‘Gunnar-senpai’ becoming ‘Flay Gunnar’). I also noticed that Alvero was called something like ‘Vajisil’ in the AI3 Japanese dialogue- that was the first time I even realised names had been changed; it was a little disappointing and I wasn’t sure why they’d bothered.

Take time to level Muppy up, he is way better than anyone else at defence. And his defence ability makes him absorb all the other characters, being the only one to take a hit before he spits the friends out again, if he is killed he will spit the other characters out and then do a suicide bombing I think it was.

Pamela gains a noteworthy defence ability as she becomes invunerable to all damage when she is changed in during defence. For those big hit attacks that target one character Pamela is gold to have :)

Otherwise use Muppy for the multi hit spells/attacks.

I loved Mana Khemia, I have to replay it soon and watch another ending, this time I choose Jess ending.

I do feel a bit sad that they changed the name for Jess as you can hear them calling her another name when you´re using the japanese voices.

Algester: Freeze glitch in Ar Tonelico 2? describe it more if I may ask you for that information.

well if were hoping for english release for MK2 (IIRC english names are already in the JP site) lets hope for a decent one from NISA <_< apparently making up names in MK is already depressing especially the broken last parts of bonus dungeon broken in a sense there is a freeze glitch when using going burst mode just like AT2
