Looks like they are 3 separate titles but the Arland series is coming to PS4 & Switch.

I hope they bring them out in the west though

Ah neat! I missed Totori so this seems like a good chance to finally play it.

Vylash · Jul 10, 2018

I've bought the Arland trilogy on every system they've been released on so I'll gladly buy again on ps4 and switch....and the inevitable pc port

suikoder · Jul 11, 2018

They probably will, KT brings pretty much everything to the west these days.

And I see there is no talk about that spinoff game at all: Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists. Nobody is interested?

If they release Arland trilogy on steam, it will be fourth time for Rorona, second for Totori and third for Meruru for me. Bring it on, KT!

I am but probably not coming here I'm guessing so...

Eolz · Jul 11, 2018

Nelke's gameplay seems pretty different, I think we'll get it here.
It's a celebration game all about fanservice, I'd be surprised if it wasn't coming. Might be worth a tweet to KT though.

Nelke coming westwards this Winter.

Wow I had zero faith that we would get this

Brink · Jul 14, 2018

Nelke looks rough. Can't believe they've gone with NOCO for the art as well. It's killing me seeing these characters drawn in that awful style, lol.

Eolz · Jul 14, 2018

I like NOCO.
But yeah, it's a low budget spinoff.

Vylash · Jul 19, 2018

wtf NOCO's art rules

Vylash · Jul 20, 2018

not surprising, but the Arland dx trilogy will have all the DLC from the original 3 games, even Rorona Plus

Holundrian · Jul 25, 2018

Sophie is on sale can anyone sell me on it?

Brink · Jul 25, 2018

Vylash said:

I hate it so much, lol. I don't like moe art at all though, so that's probably why.

Hidari's art is about as cutesy as I can go whilst still enjoying it.

The soundtrack is 10/10 and the game itself is chill as hell. It's great.

It's a good start for a new trilogy, it's not really pushing you in terms of difficulty, it's cute and well paced. Great OST as shared above.
Fun cast of characters as well.

But as usual, if you don't like the new Atelier games, you probably won't like it.

Never played a single atelier game I bought rorona for vita though last year in a sale but I'm not really feeling the vita right now.

Ah then yeah, I recommend it without any issues. I think it's a good relaxing JRPG.

Camwi · Jul 25, 2018

Hey guys, I have a question. I played through Atelier Rorona Plus about six months ago (loved it), and while the trophy guides I think followed the original game when it came to following certain steps so that endings wouldn't take priority over each other, on the Plus version, you could hit all the flags and just select whatever ending you wanted.

I'm currently following a guide for Atelier Totori, but playing the Plus version. Is it the same case where you don't have to worry about hitting all the flags? And is it the case with the other Plus games, or is Rorona Plus unique in that respect?

suikoder · Jul 26, 2018

I don't remember that I didn't need to worry in any of those games, but maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, if you are playing with guides, you'll get all endings anyway

Jawmuncher · Jul 26, 2018

Just bought Lydie and Suelle for Switch since it was $25 with GCU and In-store pickup.
Now to play the other ones I have on vita lol.

can I just have remasters of Mana Khemia instead, on PC pls
(._.)

see, I'm not even asking for a new game, I lost all hope

Jawmuncher · Jul 27, 2018

For the Atelier games that no longer have the timer stuff. Can the good ending still be missed?

Some endings take priorities over others, so you don't want to hit certain "points of no return" because then you'd have to start a new game to get other endings.

In Rorona Plus, that wasn't the case. You could trigger all ending flags in one run, and then the game gave you a choice at the very end for the ending you wanted.

You're right that I shouldn't have to worry much due to the guide, but it's more for peace of mind than anything.

robotzombie · Jul 27, 2018

Is Lydie and Suelle good?

It's currently the cheapest its ever been at Best Buy. I'm kind of interested in getting that and Fate/Extella for 40 bucks total...

it's the first extremely solid game since meruru imo, well worth a purchase

Eolz · Jul 30, 2018

Didn't see it posted, but here's the first results of the Atelier popularity poll. I'll probably make a thread when there's a full list if nobody else does it:

true ones can be missed, not to be mistaken for good endings that can't be I think, well, maybe if you try real hard.

Eolz · Aug 22, 2018

popularity results are out (top 40)
edit: also nice to see VAs happy about results

Vylash · Aug 22, 2018

gutted my girl rorona didn't win, but god how did sophie beat totori?

Vylash · Sep 21, 2018

god I'm playing lydie and suelle and I was gonna buy ilmeria but they're charging 10 dollars for dlc characters which is insane, especially when characters used to be like 3 or 4

Finalbeta · Sep 21, 2018

I'm currently trying to beat Boss Falgior
That guy is pretty tough xd

Vylash · Sep 22, 2018

so close

literally no chance it won't, we're getting that spinoff for the love of god, no chance we don't get ports that don't need new translations

afreaknamedpete · Sep 23, 2018

I can't but notice how... cheap Nelke looks. Like, literally mobile-game like, it honestly looks worse than the Arland stuff. Bare bone menus, bare bone animations. It looks like Alchemy is about as complicated as selecting from a menu?

Stuart444 · Sep 26, 2018

Vylash · Sep 26, 2018

this is the one time where I'm annoyed by a digital only release

Strings · Oct 23, 2018

... Err, it looks like we're getting a 4th Arland game?

Pretty cool, and kind of lame at the same time.

That's weird yeah, also doesn't seem like a thread has been made?
Looks like they're trying to get more sales.

Stuart444 · Oct 23, 2018

As nice as it is, I fear that we'd not get the original english VA for a brand new title :(

Regardless, I'm not complaining too much. Arland is nice.

What a relief, Arland is the peak of atelier and I'm super hyped we're getting another entry, Meruru didn't really leave the window open for a new protag so I imagine we'll get Rorona or Totori again

Vylash · Oct 23, 2018

lol nevermind Rorona had sex with sterk or something

Stuart444 · Oct 23, 2018

I wonder if we'll see any of the girls? Also funny to think considering what they did to Rorona in Meruru and their excuse for it >.>

That said, I hope for a good amount of returning characters alongside the new characters :D

Hopefully there's more Sterk and *sigh* Esty. Can uh, Threia somehow end up in this game too please? Cause I desperately want more Threia :(

Falk · Oct 24, 2018

so you mean there's a CHANCE for dusk trilogy to not end on a steaming pile of horse shit for a closure!
