Ow.
Well, it's a super buggy, degrading game that I'm sad to have in the Ar Tonelico-ish series. So no big loss. Though the scanning bar codes to make fairies is kinda cool...

Oh great, another platform we have to buy to play a game... oh wait.

Well, at least we can still import.

Was Ar Nosurge ever re-released on PS4? I think the re-release was for PS Vita... I have it for both PS3 and Vita, but don't think I've ever seen a PS4 version of it.

The re-release of Ar nosurge was on Vita, not PS4.

Also I saw "Koei Tecmo Europe" and "Ciel Nosurge" in a headline and got real excited for a second you jerks.

Disappointing, but in no way surprising. At least we still have the excellent fan-translation guide, the author of which is also putting up an English translated plathrough on YouTube. It may not be ideal, but at least the options are there for people that want to experience the full story.

It is much sadder to have someone say they like the Ar tonelico series and say something as ignorant as Ciel nosurge being a degrading game, when it's by far the least fanservicey game in the entire metafranchise.

And no big loss, considering that means a loss of contexts for its songs and BGMs, as well as missing out on a lot of character backstory, extra narrative material for Ar nosurge and half of the Surge Concerto story? By just saying such things, I have to seriously question you even know what you're actually talking about.
