Trying to decide whether to pick up Rorona+ for PS3 or Vita, I've Totori+ and Meruru+ on the Vita so I'm wondering does the time capsule system work cross platform? Im also wondering about the "recommended" order. Vanilla Rorona is the only Arland game Ive finished so should I replay Rorona+ then move on to Totori & Merurur+ (which would seem to make the best use of the time capsule system) or should I play Totori+ then Meruru+ and then Rorona+ (which would seem to make best use of the extra Totori and Meruru storylines in Rorona+)

I know you value a good battle system above all else and Escha and Logy is the best the combat has been since Mana Khemia imo.
Though Shallie might outdo it in that regard
New Shallie battle video is up.

Keith needed to be in it after all the hints about him in E&L.

I finished Escha & Logy, and it's really a game of extremes. The combat and alchemy is the best it has ever been in the series, but the cast of characters and writing is my least favorite of the PS3 games. And the games structure and pacing is frustratingly bad. There's way too much downtime and as much as I don't want time management to be removed from this series, no time management would be better than how it's handled in this game. I don't think I could play through this game again given how constricted it is, so I guess I'll go watch the true ending on youtube.
At least I've caught up on everything in time for Rorona plus. I can hardly believe I've played through all of these PS3 games (minus the first Rorona) in about 8 months.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Linca/Marion had a kid?! ;P
gender dystopia invading Atelier.
Oh yeah, good point, it just looked like she'd been indoctrinated by Marion lol

Interesting, different from the others in feel.
Maybe it's YouTube but I could swear a lot of those character shots are CG models. :/

It reminds me of Atelier Ayesha's opening, in sound and colour.

Alternatively, I love it!
the song is boring and nothing happens visuallyAlternatively, I love it!

God forbid people actually break the mold for once!
seems to be a trend with the dusk series

I actually really liked that opening. I really need to finish Arland and start Dusk....
They probably made the opening so basic, because they are focusing on some anime cutscenes instead. At least that's what seemed to be the case with Escha & Logy, so it's probably the case here too.
It feels like they are actually setting up some sort of conclusion to the Dusk series though, which is nice. With the Arland games, it felt like it just ended, without anything really happening.
Also, seeing as we got both Wilbell and Keith, I'm okay with Linca not being a playable character. Keith's the best.

Just started Meruru+ and I'm enjoying it far more than Totori+. Will definitely pick up Rorona+ if the alchemy system is at least on par with Meruru's and when it's on a sale.
I hope the Dusk games will be ported to the Vita though. Seems a perfect match for pick up and go. The framerate is a little unstable but I can sacrifice that if I can play it in a handheld.

Ayesha+ has been out in Japan since March I believe, so if it follows the same schedule as the previous games we should see it by August/September if it comes over
Rorona Plus' alchemy system is literally Meruru's. Also if you're waiting for an Atelier sale you'll be waiting for a while, they're super rare
Nice! I didn't know it was already out since I haven't been following the dusk series. I hope it gets localized somehow.
Thanks and yep, but I have a huge backlog so it can wait.

Since we're on the subject of Ayesha+, fun fact, Koei Tecmo Europe teased that they have one more title to announce for Q3 of this year.
Q3 for them being July to September which does coincide with the past release timing for Totori+ and Meruru+.

Hit me, Tecmo Koei. I've been waiting for that one for quite some time.
I hope it's ar no surge honestly

I'd rather have Ar no Surge, but I'd be happy with Ayesha+ as well
Don't have any idea about this game but if it's for the Vita and it gets localized, I'll likely be buying it.
Ar No Surge Plus
EDIT: Ciel No Surge Offline too.

So Harry and Reyfer are in Atelier Shallie. Wonder when they will be put up on the official website.
Still, nice to see Harry being in his 3rd dusk game
Harry's cool, but why they're bringing Reyfer back to put me to sleep again is beyond me
Holy shit,I just looked at the TK page for Meruru Plus and there's a whole bunch of stuff I didn't even know about

So I finally got a Vita (imported the white/blue one). Hotaru no Nikki from Nippon Ichi was my system seller. lol
I'll probably get the Atelier games when there is a sale again.
Also, I'm a little sad that its looking like Ayesha isn't going to be in the last Dusk game. I thought Keith and her were supposed to be doing something together. Well I guess there is still a couple more weeks left before release so you never know.

Does anyone with a Asia PSN account own the Atelier Plus series (english) here? Could anyone confirm that Totori Plus saves are not recognised by Meruru and Rorona Plus, probably due to the Totori being the EU version and Meruru and Rorona being the US version (looking at the manuals).
All bought digitally with same account on Vita.

if Reyfer is in and proper Linca isnt
Reyfer is about the second last person from Escha I'd have brought back
So I've been playing Totori+ and I'm up to near the end of the third year. I've been going for the platinum so I've been following a guide and I'm only a month ahead in terms of the date the guide has, I should be ok still, right?
Also, as I've been following the guide I did the spring cup trick for money and now realised they nerfed it in the vita version so I don't make any profit, pretty sure I won't be able to follow the guide now and miss out on the platinum. Wasn't really looking forward to doing a ng+ because I wanted to get onto meruru+, kinda killed my motivation to play it a bit if I'm honest :-(

You mentioned Harry and Reyfer but not Odelia?! She's the most important one!!!
I couldn't remember who her name (though I remembered her) so I didn't mention her <.< but yes, out of Reyfer and Odelia, Odelia is the most important one.
