There won’t be an Atelier Rorona Plus, but that doesn’t mean gamers won’t be seeing more of Rorona in the future.
Lyam writes: - Atelier Arland Trilogy DX is another collection release, but this time, on PlayStation 4. The games with it are Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland, and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, which have all appeared on PlayStation 3, as well as the PlayStation Vita. It’s quite an ongoing franchise with Atelier Rorona is the 11th game in the series and there are more plenty more to come.
It's probably my favourite 3 (well didn't like meruru much) But the price is trash. Should have been normal retail price for all 3 imo.
I haven't played the Atelier series for quite a while now. Last game I finished was Iris 3, although I didn't really liked it. I love the first one, Eternal Mana. I think I finished Atelier Iris 1 at least three times. I bought Atelier Sophie and played less than 10 hours before I dropped it. Would love to see another game with the Iris level of story telling.
Things get exciting on this episode of This Week in Gaming! From John Carmack joining the team working on the Oculus Rift, to new gameplay footage of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Also, tons of weird Japanese games. I hope you brought napkins because things are about to get saucy!
Cripes, I keep seeing this guy posting his videos.
And they're awful. Please stop.
I don't mind that you're a prepubescent. I do mind the constant mumbling and inability to properly pronounce every other word.
Andriasang: The "Arland" subseries of Gust's Atelier series has crossed the 400,000 mark in shipments, director Yoshito Okamura revealed at the Atelier Meruru official blog today. The shipment figure includes Atelier Rorona, Atelier Totori, the just released Atelier Meruru, and all related budget versions.
Looks kinda shoujo, Still with the total lack of RPG games being released here Im tempted to get this... Yes I am ashamed of myself thank you.
I have the first one Atelier Rorona,its actually a decent RPG in my opinion.Plenty to do such as alchemy,ingredient gathering,plenty of side quests,tons of recruitable companions and 4 alternate endings.
Also the art is gorgeous and the music is very cheerful.I would recommend it at $40 if you can find it at that low price.
Sounds like a pretty full RPG I agree the art style looks great too, I may just pick it up if I can find it. Thanks for the recomending it.
i agree with thecolbertinator, its a fun game, i would describe it as delightfully fun :) lol
On the contrary, the game is targeted towards male otaku. The game is populated with pretty anime girls for a reason. The Atelier series used to be completely tame though. It seems like each new installment brings more fan service. I wonder how much longer it will take before it's on par with Ar Tonelico's creep factor.
targeted towards male otaku huh?, I guess that's me lol. I do know what you mean though some games are border line creepy!, Well I'll pick it up if I can find it, Ive been waiting for a decent RPG that's a bit different. Not sure if your comment was ment as a recommendation but thanks all the same.
Actually, the Atelier fanbase also has a decent female following, at least in Japan.
Whilst the fanservice part is indeed right, it's not like it goes beyond the swimsuit/hot spring events you see once a playthrough.
Hooray! Good to hear that Gust is doing well. Like with the Final Promise Story, the developers weren't looking at the sales to be over 1 million or something for it to be successful. I can't wait for Totori to come this fall! It seems like it didn't include the Rorona sales outside Japan, but I would not expect Gust games to sell well outside Japan...
EDIT: also the artist is Kishida Mel if anyone is wondering, an artbook was recently released in the US by UDON too :3
Has Atelier Totori come out on West yet? It actually is a quite good RPG. It has gotten far better than its predecessor.
i should be happy because meruru is selling but 400k in 3 games is ..Well good .. i hope the sell of rorona ( and soon totori) will allow the series to pass the million mark ..
This is actually without counting Western sales, we'd all presume. Which means that, couting the 100k sales Meruru's gotten so far, Rorona and Totori both averaged at ~150k sales. Pretty damn great, if you ask me.
i agree ..with these numbers , NISA localisation is a no brainer ... and that peases me a lot
A LOT
Kinda disappointed by this news :/
me too! i was looking forward to more of these games
Well that's a shame. Gotta grab Totori Plus soon, though, to get the bonus stuff.
Wait, I don't even really care about that stuff. Still want it, though.
