My timezone is GMT -4:30.

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

And I do know: he turns into a berserk monster who only wants to destroy. Some friends told me about it.

My timezone is GMT -4:30.

The opposite of my time, it seems.

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

And I do know: he turns into a berserk monster who only wants to destroy. Some friends told me about it.

That would suffice for my question.

Spoiler for Naruto spoiler:  [ Open ]

Or more specifically, he lost his consciousness to the Nine-tails, effectively turning his body into a mere puppet for Kyuubi's chakra, filled by centuries-old worth of hatred.

A little bit, but...
1. How do you take interest and functionality in account for your career choosing list?
2. Assignments aside, do you experience any daunting of a difficulty throughout your course?
3. Since I don't really like digging into other's dark past, I will let this question in particular slide.

And finally...

Spoiler for AT3 spoiler:  [ Open ]

Why is Aoto is constantly labelled as a pervert by the others, really?

[aquagon]

1) I simply didn't take much more than how much I like something and the talents I have for it. That's how I decided to go for Systems Engineering, and later on I have plans of majoring in Modern Languages.
2) Only the lack of responsibility on part of the teachers, and how much I despise certain subjects (damned Operations Research...)

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

Because he has actually won it?
Let's see... being the only main to Purge the Reyvateils (and make them strip in some occasions unrelated to Purging or Programming), walking into Cocona in the bath, falling above Saki during the wedding, and even pulling down Tatsumi's pants when they barely knew each other.

[MidgitLD]

May I ask a few questions of my own, Aquagon? My apologies in advance if I end up with repeat questions from much earlier in this thread.

1. What got you interested in studying languages to begin with?

2. What was your inspiration for your Dragonian language?

3. What region of Ar Ciel (past or present) would you choose to live in and why?

[aquagon]

1) I've always liked languages. That might have the reason why I learned English so quickly (I learned to understand it a pretty decent level when I was just nine years old), and the fact that I'm always interested in seeing how some words are said in different languages.
2) Hymmnos was the main one, of course. However, I've also drawn inspiration from some other languages, such as Latin, Greek, English, Japanese and Spanish.
3) In the present, in Metafalss. As for the past, I'd like to live in Sol Ciel, previous to the era in which they established contact with Sol Cluster.

That's pretty spiff. Was learning English hard for you at first?

2) Hymmnos was the main one, of course. However, I've also drawn inspiration from some other languages, such as Latin, Greek, English, Japanese and Spanish.

Wow, that's a nice spread of influence there. What would you recommend for some who's just starting to take an interest in other languages?

3) In the present, in Metafalss. As for the past, I'd like to live in Sol Ciel, previous to the era in which they established contact with Sol Cluster.

[/quote]
So, a time very early in the First Era or in the time before the First Era?

[aquagon]

1) Somewhat, but once I began to understand to grammar patterns, and began seeing the similarities between English and Spanish (not to mention reading the text along with voices), it became much easier.

2) I advise you to begin studying the Romance Languages. Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are pretty easy to learn, and excepting the dreaded irregular verbs, they are a good starting point for learning other languages. I don't recommend French due to it having a somewhat hard pronunciation.

3) Previous to the First Era. After all, the First Era began with the discovery of the properties of the Songstones, and by then, Sol Ciel and Sol Cluster already had many years of contact (and warring).

[Ar-cen-ciel]

Why a "dammit" on Operations Research?

It would do putting the "Spoiler=AT3 plot" ..., but's it's no spoiler to me anyhow.

Spoiler for CERO Rating C:  [ Open ]

Compared to the "ero-sennin", I'd say Aoto is just a lucky, yet unlucky little boy at the same time, lol.
That aside, is it (his pervy reputation) largely because of his... somewhat reckless personality? Or more like, did he ever done anything perverted on purpose in AT3?(I can kind of see how he is labelled one with all the lolis around him)

Spoiler for ...an AO rating?:  [ Open ]

How would Aoto make ba... nevermind, I will save it later for Lazy.

And finally... what time did you usually log into ARM?

[aquagon]

Why a "dammit" on Operations Research?

Simply because the subject consists in using algorithms to solve mathematical problems that require a great number of variables. Lately it has been becoming easy, but since I hate math with a passion (due to being an incompetent at it), you can guess why I despise the subject.

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

And because he actually once spied on Saki while she was changing her clothes, as also apparently asking Tatsuma for "adult magazines" little after they met in the Blue Canyon Hamlet.

And finally... what time did you usually log into ARM?

Generally, I'm logged during all the free time I have, except while I'm working in some project or assignment, or playing a videogame.

[Ar-cen-ciel]

1. Can you list out all the Playstation 3 games you have thus far?
2. After the graduation, what will you do next?
3. Do you visit Youtube often?
4. Out of all Reyvateils in AT series, who could be your best wife candidate?
5. I heard Lazy is "married" to Misha, but is there anyone else "married" to a Reyvateil...?
...well this so-called "marriage" is only valid in ARM anyhow...

[aquagon]

1) Ar tonelico Qoga, Final Fantasy XIII, Stardust HD and Little Big Planet.
2) Start a major on Modern Languages, and later on, a post-grade focused on software development.
3) Very frequently.
4) Aurica and Saki.
5) As far as I know, the only other marriage was Thunder's with Aurica.

[Ar-cen-ciel]

Actually, the questions I ask today is particularly difficult, if I do say so myself, but... here I go.

1. I know information is really scarse right now, but from what we know about the future AT game as of now, what kind of future AT game we can expect?

4. Mind disclosing about this kanji:那由他羅 and 咲夜琉命
Sorry if it's beyond your ability, but I'm kinda curious.

3. And finally... If your migration to Asia is approved, where would you settle for living? in ...Tokyo? Then again, maybe not.

[aquagon]

1) Currently nothing. Tsuchiya has been awfully evasive about any plans for a future game.

2) These are the kanji names for Nayudara and Sakiyarumei. What about them?

3) Kyoto, most likely.

[Ar-cen-ciel]

1. I knew that was the case, Still, I remembered a survey for a future AT game somewhere in ARM. How would the future AT game be, judging from all the votes...
2. Can you tell what does each individual kanji means? Or should I ask Lazy-sempai?

Next up is side questions:
3. Have you ever experienced streaming lag in Youtube?
4. Sorry if it's classified, but how much data (in GB) you have stored in your PC hard drive?
5. Have you ever heard of 4G wireless standard? Or did you use one?
6. And finally...

Spoiler for Reyvatology:  [ Open ]

Can a purelineage Reyvateil control their own ovulation?

Spoiler for Reyvatology:  [ Open ]

Can a purelineage Reyvateil control their own ovulation?

1) There is one, but I'm not sure about relying completely on the results of it.
2) 那由他羅: "What?" "Reason" "Other" "Gauze", while the first three form a compound that means "myriads (or an extremely large number)".
咲夜琉命: I already posted the full meaning for this one in the liner notes of the Hymmnos Concerts. However, here is the short version: "Bloom" "Night" "Gem" "Life".
3) Almost everytime.
4) Roughly 75 GB.
5) I've heard about it, but I don't use it.

Spoiler:  [ Open ]

6. Nope, since that falls in the domain of physical alteration, which is impossible for a Reyvateil due to their inability to modify the properties of their bodies (it's essentially set as part of a ROM area in the Triangular Nuclear Loop).

[Ar-cen-ciel]

1. How bad the lag can go at Youtube? (in both SD and HD)

2. Firefox has apps which you can use to download Youtube videos, so benchmarking your Internet bandwidth is made easy, Or did it not work for you?

3. Thanks for telling. Now, can you tell the survey result?

4. So where do you store all these 75 billion bytes? ...I mean, what's the capacity of your PC (or external) hard drive...?

5. also And finally... What kind of extracurricular you had nowadays? (mine's one tenth of 500GiB, GiB stands for gibibyte, 500 gibibyte means 5*10^10 bytes, the standard used by hard disc manufacturers......)

[aquagon]

1) Horrible in both forms. I usually end up loading the video fully before watching it.

2) Unfortunately, no.

3) Huh?

4) I have a 160 GB HD in my laptop.

5) Extracurricular activities? Currently none.

[Ar-cen-ciel]

2) Unfortunately, no.

Why not? ...You use IE or GC browser instead?

3) Huh?

You mentioned there is one survey about the future AT game, so... what's the result?

And finally... can you PM a short summary for your Dragonian fanfic? Kinda interested in "trying to save a doomed world" part...

[aquagon]

Usually, downloading anything takes an eternity, and videos off Youtube usually have an horrid quality, so I'd rather download them from somewhere else.

About the surveys, some things I have noticed are the following trends:

- At2 battle system
- 3D graphics
- No synthesis failures
- No replaying from specific points
- Keep a large number of useless items.
- Balance better the power of the Vanguards
- Increase the Vanguard number.
- Have an story as epic as At2's, in which all the people in the world collaborated to create Metafalica.
- Reduce the number of singers, and leave Hymmnos songs with a consolidated style (which I personally think it'd be a terrible idea, taking the setting in account).

There are many others, but these are the main ones.

As for the summary, maybe I could do so later on. However, the gist of the story is a group of people trying to save their world from an ancient evil which tries to destroy it. However, all of this has more what's initially shown in it, such as the struggles of the individual characters, the culture of Dragonia, the Seirei, and the Wills of Dragonia.

[Ar-cen-ciel]

How fast is this "somewhere else"? Also, where do you suggest have better quality videos?
