Screw you guys who can order from GoHastings. I highly doubt they ship to Canada, based on their shipping page. I bet EBGames is selling it for $54.99 up here, too. BAH.
(You all should get it on that deal, assuming it's legit. They've got a bunch of stores across the west coast/midwest so you're probably fine!)
It's possible Ayesha on Vita could have dual audio unlike it's ps3 version, which would be great. I really loved Ayesha.
as for the Arland series, Rorona appears in Totori, and Rorona and Totori appear in Meruru. Totori + and Meruru plus are out now, however they are remaking Rorona for both ps3 and vita although no localization plans yet.
Honestly most feel Rorona can be skipped and just start with Totori, however, if the Rorona remake makes it out here, I wonder how much will be fixed from the older style.
Apparently New Rorona updates all the battle models to properly proportioned versions ala Totori and Meruru, which to me would be the biggest improvement.
Screenshots. It also takes the battle system from Meruru Plus, apparently--dunno if that includes the MP system (original Rorona used HP for special attacks, I think) but the interface at least is improved. It sounds like it's a modernization of Rorona more than anything, so I wouldn't expect drastic changes like no more three-month deadlines, but it's a pretty big overhaul nonetheless.
I think they're asking about tone (something I'm also curious about). Like, how dramatically is something like the end of the world treated?
Ayesha basically plays out as a bunch of people living their normal lives, with a bit of the usual Atelier goofiness. The "end of the world" stuff is usually relegated to the background--people only mention it in passing but it's essentially taken for granted. In other words, everyone knows their world is dying, they don't know when it's going to happen (though no one seems to think it's imminent), and they've all decided the best thing to do in the meantime is adapt to the changes and live their lives as best they can.
