Finished Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana.
The last hours were a bunch of dissapointments.
Collected every item, but still didn't get the astral sphere for final cane (maybe I didn't trigger some scene or something like that, who knows...)
The reward for killing the secret uber boss is practically non-existent (more harem scenes, just what I've needed, dammit!).
And the game ending-glitched on me again. Even with the voice playback off.

And to quote the Atelier Mana Mini-Strategy Guide:
The game isn't really over after you beat Amalgam at Selk's Cry. You haven't beaten Mull yet, after all, and what happened to Arlin? After the first ending is finished, go back to the home base at Kavoc. A note from Arlin will be waiting for you there. Follow its directions and you'll get to unlock a new final dungeon. You'll get to recruit Arlin and Laplus the Time Mana, play around with the fun of a six-person party, and get a chance to experience a much more satisfying ending.

LIES.

Onward to Azoth of Destiny.
