Yes (well, apart from PC).

Because the Arland collection not only had great sales behind it, but also could be justified as a way to catch people up for lulua, meanwhile dusk had pretty bad sales and will never get a 4th game

Good to know!Just got my copy of the Atelier 20th Anniversary Visual Collection (which was a random Amazon Japan purchase--I didn't even know it existed until three days ago), and it's immense. I was originally worried that it might just be an artbook for the Nelke game, but it is in fact a comprehensive look at all the major Atelier games from Marie to Nelke. There's even a section for the DS games and the offshoots like Atelier Quest Board and Atelier Elkrone. Each game gets studies for all the main characters, and what looks like every illustrated still scene from the game itself. Some games and series get a little extra, like promo material made for the game or a short interview (Marie/Elie/Lilie gets one of the latter, for example). At the very back there appears to be a character dictionary with basic stats and info for all the major characters.
It's too bad this will likely never be localized and brought to the West, because it would be really neat to read the interviews. Very happy with the book nevertheless!
Good to know!
Is it mostly art, or more of a setting book? Really interested in it.
Mostly art, if I understand you correctly. I'll try to post some pics later.
I chose specific games for the photos (Rorona for the first two, Mana Khemia for #3) but every game gets pretty much the same treatment: a page about the game with a release history, key art of the protagonist and character portraits for everyone else, and then every event illustration taken from the game (or if not every, then damned near close to it). The fourth image is an interview with Hidari, I think (character designer for the Dusk series), and the last image is part of the character dictionary. Characters that show up in multiple games appear to get an entry for each game (you can see four for Escha and two for Esty on the right page, for example).
Meruru and Rorona just wandering around not caring anymore is spectacular
I'm not sure if she's an actual orphan or a creation of Rorona or a biological child.
I can't try it myself but apparently the demo code on Switch is always the same.

No problem. Don't forget to share some impressions. 😉
How did the game run? There seemed to be a few frame drops in the video. For the rest, it's looking pretty good.
I found this video. It looks very smooth on PS4.

No real time limits outside of rumors/subquest from what I remember (unlike the Arland trilogy).I started Sophie today. Never played these games before. It's pretty good. I dont like time limits much though does this have one? I plan to get the platinum.any Missables?
Are the other Atelier games good too on PS4?
How is the Arland Trilogy on PS4 too?
i did, really enjoyed what i played, game runs great on switch, the characters seem fun and vibrant, the alchemy and battle systems are solid as well, the demo pretty much removed my doubts about the game entirely
Sounds good. Is prior knowledge of the other games important for this one?i did, really enjoyed what i played, game runs great on switch, the characters seem fun and vibrant, the alchemy and battle systems are solid as well, the demo pretty much removed my doubts about the game entirely

it's not essential but you will miss out on a bunch of subtext, playing the others is the preferred optionSounds good. Is prior knowledge of the other games important for this one?
No way I can play 3 games before release date. I guess no Lulua for me then.it's not essential but you will miss out on a bunch of subtext, playing the others is the preferred option
So, how is Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists? The NA release is coming and I would like to hear some impressions from people who played the Japanese version.
