oh man I was actually gonna post this. Well beat me to it. I think I read its gonna be sequel to Ayesha so I gotta play that soon

More Atelier anything is good, just so long as TK doesn't do the USA version, or as long as they include the JPN audio.

My fingers are crossed for a western release. I'm glad Hidari is the primary artist again, Ayesha's visuals were great!

Well thats interesting,
6 people per battle, that may be fun.
if its true, A chance of getting Mana Kheima 2 as a bonus on release. Thats tempting, I never played it.

This should be interesting. Both a male and a female protagonist to choose from. I'd kind of rather have two female protagonists but I'm sure Gust will pull this off nicely.

Here's a picture of both of them.

So keeping up with traditional Atelier format. Each protagonist will have their own 5+ different endings and then after getting each respected characters "true" ending we can then get the "real true" ending(s) ?? For a total of anywhere from 10 to 20 different endings? Hahaha j/k but who knows.

I like this idea of 2 protagonists though especially if there will be overlapping elements like with other dual protagonist games.

Topic has been updated. Check the first post for the new screenshots.

EDIT: Limited edition details

So with any hope, this means there's a better chance that NISA will localize this? I mean, if the JPN Limited Edition sells well for them, why not make a LE for western release and even more so why not let NISA be the one to do that?
If the western release of this title ends up being handle just like Ayesha... AND there is no special/limited edition.... let's not think about it...

I'm more worried about dual audio. I do like having limited editions but dual audio is a necessity for Atelier games. Sadly, this is a sequel to Ayesha which means I really want to play Ayesha before this... and I won't do that because TK fucked things up with that game. I'm hoping somebody makes an undub version of Ayesha.

Never played a game from this series before. I might give this game a try.

If this Atelier stands out amongst the other ones then I might get started too.

Opening song/animation for the game.

I wanna play it just because I get to be a guy finally. I hope he isn't like, Rorona retarded though. I want to play an alchemist that's a genius like Astrid, not just dumb and lucky.

Premium Box Set

Is it necessary to play the previous titles before I play this one? I'm concerned about not getting lost in the story since this game has been around for a good while.

This game takes place after Atelier Ayesha so you should play that first. It's not necessary to play any of the games before Ayesha (Rorona, Totori, Meruru). They're great games though so you should give them a try.

I just hope they wont implement the same game rules on the previous Atelier games like item collection, battles and synthesizing items will cost days because I feel I don't have freedom on my time and this is the thing that I did not like on Atelier Meruru.

Also, they better beef up the graphics to make it look like PS3 caliber.

Bump

The game is out now.

---

New bump for the hell of it. I want more people to talk about this game because I'm interested in it and the video game section has been pretty boring lately.

Escha now has some kind of new DLC pirate costume.

That slightly awkward yet cute expression. That exposed bellybutton. It's going to be impossible to not like her when I [size=4]hopefully[/h] play this game someday.


Logy gets animal ears and a tail. I'm guessing female fans of the game will be all over this one. Logy actually seems like a really cool male lead though. Can't wait to [size=4]hopefully[/h] play as him.

As usual, I hope this gets localized translated.
