bitch whine complain

Hey, Japan, how worried are you about tsunamis? Also, underboob.

I am on my third playthrough of Atelier Lina and it's looking like this one will end before I get any ending besides the "congratulations, your work was for nothing" ending...again. I know I wasn't paying enough attention to the requirements for various endings, but it's not all my fault.

You still only get 3 years, but when you first start, 1 day/1 DISTILLED WATER. THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU LEARN. SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY. You lose all any and all almanacs every time you restart the game, and you can't get some of the special ones until late in the game, from quests. Same for recipes. You can't gather certain ingredients until you're level 45. Alchemy gets faster as you level up and improve your equipment, but I never got even the cauldron past level 4 or so. You can't hire fairies until you've donated a million cole and made them cookies.

This is a good game, but if you're not prepared to either use cheats or tolerate some failure endings...

EDIT:

Me: Okay. *starts new game plus in Atelier Lina* Give me a reason, game. You just give me one reason and I'm outta here.
Game: How about an EARLY bad ending if you don't collect enough splinters because you spent so and so much time in the atelier trying to get a certain ending?
Me: Oh, good enough for me!

I HAVE HAD IT, THIS GAME IS SHIT.
