Only Japan for now but i'm sure they will come to the West as well. Hopefully physical versions too.

Gust has announced Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland DX, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland DX, and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland DX for PlayStation 4 and Switch. All three titles will launch both physically and digitally on September 20 in Japan for 4,800 yen each.
Each game will include the downloadable content originally released for that title. Copies of the physical version will include a download code for that game’s original soundtrack.

If it comes to the West I guess I'll dip into the Arland Trilogy a third time for Switch.

Damnit I have the big box collectors editions for PS3 still sealed. This is going to tank their value!

Spoiler: Teehee

ill still buy them on the Switch if they come over

Three full-size games on one cartridge, or am I misunderstanding?

I've always viewed the Aterlier series fondly but from a distance, since the only game I've played in the series was Atelier Iris 3 on PS2. Does Mana Khemia count as well?

Anyway, this sounds like an absurd amount of content crammed into one retail package. I might finally dive into the series.

I've been wanting to go full weeb with something like this. Is this a good series?
How's the writing? combat system and effects?
I don't need super fancy graphics, I got a rig and the games for that, so I'm not going to be anal about it.

The writing is great, IMO. Very casual/relaxing that focuses more on characters than a world-ending threat. That idea continues into the rest of the game. The combat is very simplistic, but it works. The focus of the game is its crafting systems and the time mechanic.

Of course today is the day I happened to start my years-old download of the trilogy for Vita... There must be something to this series that has kept it going for so long, I just need to play one to figure it out.

Nope. Japan lists them as 3 different games.

So like 50-60 bucks each.

I appreciate the time you took to reply. Thank you. I'll consider grabbing one of these. I want a change of pace.

Hope you enjoy it! The series has been my go-to if I get overly stressed and need to just relax.

wheres mah pc version... GIVE IT TO ME NOW

It's likely it's coming. With japanese games these days the PC version gets confirmed only when they announce the game is coming to the West

I just bought Atelier Lydie & Suelle for Switch yesterday, my first look at this franchise. If I like it, good to know more may be on the way.
