Hello, everybody. It's Tsuchiya.
The weather has gotten really warm lately, hasn't it? But the inside of the company has gotten crackling colder thanks to the flood of submissions you all sent us for the ongoing project [Infel's Pun Dojo].
Thank you very much for participating in all these projects: the Karuta project, Infel's Pun Dojo and all others! Thanks to you all, the number of submissions we got for these two particular projects have gone beyond a few hundreds, and I'm as thankful for it as I can be.
Starting this May 2th, we'll also unveil the fourth and fifth projects for the anniversary. I'll be expecting another absurd number of submissions filed with the Ar tonelico power you all have, so please make sure to keep 'em coming!
Well then, I have something of a special material for this issue. Given you're all readers of this page, I think you may be wanting to know about this before anybody else. Well, that special material is about the Supporteils.
But before we get into the core of the mater, did you all know that the gaming magazine [Gemaga] has a serial set of pages for Ar tonelico? It is a corner titled [The Metafalica Crafted by the Readers], which in the past featured question and answer sessions about the games, interviews and photos of the Drama CD recordings, and it also featured things such as an advance introduction to the Setting Encyclopedia, and even now, it's a column focused on introducing Ar tonelico to the people. And when next issue releases on April 30th, that corner will have a special report on the [Supporteils].
What's more, a [Gemaga original body] [Supporteil] will be making her appearance there!
This body will be usable right away by all current players of the Supporteils. And so, here's an advance unveiling of that Supporteil! ...But despite saying that, you can't get really what's she like, right? However, there's only one more thing I can say about it, and it's that she was made to have an entirely different feeling from all the other bodies available at the moment. You'll be able to see what body it is once it gets published in the Gemaga issue that will be released at this month's end, so please make sure to check it out, okay?
Similarly, a full introduction to the Supporteils will be published in that issue for players who haven't started raising one yet, so make sure to check it if it catches your interest. We've also aimed to make it in a way that anyone can always jump in and start wherever they want without feeling disadvantaged in comparison to players who started first. Even now, I think you should be able to greatly enjoy it. And for the first time in so long, I'll also be unveiling my own Supporteil on the left-hand corner. Please make sure to drop by and say hi to her.
Well then, that's it for this issue, so I'll be going home now.
Note: The Supporteil mentioned near the end of the article isn't displayed nor can she be visited anymore due to the termination of the game at the end of 2012.
