The Entertainment Software Rating Board has revealed a rating summary for the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive title, Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, detailing the game’s partial nudity, suggestive themes and other content.
"Gust's Atelier series offers plenty of lighthearted fun so let's see whether Totori or Meruru has the more worthwhile adventure." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Rorona is, and always will be my favorite. She's just too adorable.
Her game was great, but others have been better. I just like the character the most. One thing they got right in her game though was the pacing of the time aspect. Gave plenty of time without wasting too much here or there like all the other games seemed to do.
I enjoyed the story for Totori more but had more fun overall with Meruru. Love them both though.
I prefer Totori I was a bit boring and the only one that didn't hook me out of the 3 Plus versions I played though Totori was really rough on new players unlike Meruru

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.

With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"
I really hate when people put Skyrim on such lists. It might have improved, but what shipped on disc- which is what gamers bought- was crap Bethesda knew they could get away with releasing.
Skyrim gets no vote from me.
Then the author says people who like Valkyria Chronicles didn't play many JRPGs on PS3. Which is an observation I don't believe for a second.
I see Valkyria Chronicles as more strategy than RPG but it really does blur the lines. I think it is in a class of its own and I find it to be a true masterpiece which is a term I don't throw around lightly. (I don't even consider any game in the SOCOM series I love so much to be a masterpiece. The same goes for the Souls games which I believe fall just short.)
I really would love the series to continue onto next gen and perhaps add even more RPG elements into it. I don't have much faith in that happening though since SEGA always sends their games out to die with little to no advertising... then they turn around and kill off good series because of poor sales.
[I'm sorry about all the edits- it is hard to compose my words being this tired.]
Valkeria is my favorite...No No Kuni is a close 2nd. After that it gets muddled. Dragon Age is good. Skyrim is a good open world game but I dont love the world leveling w/ you.
Oh...and Kingdoms of Amalur is very good too.
Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.
There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.
Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.
yesss, loliiissss XD.
I know people will disagree but Im making fun of it.
Lolina is so cute. But prefer her original self in Atelier Rorona.
Done with Rorona and Totori, just waiting for Meruru release. It was pretty cool to see the characters age between the first two titles, so I hope they get even more old by the end of Meruru.
