Atlus updated their official website for Nora to Toki no Koubou today, adding a character description for Nora’s companion Keke as well as a two-minute trailer that shows the creation system, but not in detail. All we know for sure is that she manipulates time and uses it to make items somehow. It showed a bit of the battle system as well, but not in any kind of detail. It’ll be probably be like other Gust games where you hire adventurers to accompany you when item foraging, which raises their affection for you. Nora’s “Nani ga toreru kana,” “yatta!”, “dekita!” and “un, kanpeki!” lines gave me serious Atelier flashbacks as well. I’m looking forward to this!

In other news, I’m almost done with Rondo of Swords Path A! This would have been an update on it except that bloody Mephreyu just won’t die! I think I’ve figured out how to get him, but both times I tried, I made a careless mistake and got either Ansom or Marie killed. I cannot go on without him so it was back to the drawing board again. I can’t imagine beating him without either of those two. As for Serdic/Altrius, he’s one of the most useless main characters I have ever been forced to take into battle before. I wish I could kill him off, I really do. *sigh* Okay, time for attempt number three.
