Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky |OT| Just Pretend it's Mana-Khemia 3
- Thread starter Rarutos
- Start date
I emailed Amazon yesterday about the preorder bonus, since it hasn't shown up on the product page yet and they said...
And now I'm all worried! I tweeted and emailed Tecmo-Koei America about it and if I don't get a response, I might switch to Gamestop. Especially if we don't know if they're selling these later.

well I guess I should get off my lazy butt and preorder from Gamestop already.
Not like I wanted their preorder outfits more anyway!
Yeah, you should probably stop being lazy! I'm surprised you haven't done it yet.

I been lazy in ordering stuff.
I still haven't gotten around to preordering the Demon Gaze LE yet!
I preordered that already, as well as a few other games that I shouldn't have.
Anywho, I replied to Amazon's email and said that TK was advertising Amazon as having a preorder bonus and such and they said:
Hope it does get corrected because I don't think you can get the Witch costume anywhere else.

I really really hate it when games have multiple retailer specific pre-order DLC >_<
Wait, so there's no limitation on alchemy if you play Logy?
Logy it is then.
Officially, it comes out on friday over here.
But I'd imagine some stores are already selling it, or will begin doing so tomorrow.

The people at my GameStop are pretty cool, if I pre-order something else they can just manually give me the Escha and Logy bonus then and there.
Bummer about the Amazon bonus, I wonder how the hell NA is gonna get that now as these usually aren't on PSN

So about the GoHastings order. My credit card was recently replaced and apparently there's no way to update your credit card information even if you call them =/
When I spoke with them on the phone, they definitely realized it was a pricing error. They're not sure if everyone's orders are going to be cancelled or not, however I'm screwed if they are honored as it's linked to an old card of mine now.
If this still goes through and If any GAFer on here ordered an extra one, I'd gladly pay cost and shipping and I might even be able to get you the pre-order bonus from GS as well. Would appreciate it, lemme know

Game is dual audio ? cool
Gonna play it then ...
March is sure a difficult month for my wallet.
I guess a summary of the events of ayesha will do since i never bothered with that one.

Godfreakindammit. Why'd I have it in my head that she was playable in this one? RIP Escha / Marion / Linca dream team.

I never got far in Mana Khemia 2. But I love Mana Khemia 1. I'm partially tempted to get this now. But maybe I should play the Arland trilogy and Ayesha first

Hope Amazon gets it. If they do, we'll have to thank you! I like the witch costume better than the default.
My copy arrived today:
Just like Ayesha, the trophies of the game are in japanese.
By the way, is someone from Europe interested in the Enchanted Witch costume?. I don't want the costume and I prefer giving the DLC code to someone that it's interested.
I believe if you change your system language to English it should change. At least that's what happened to me with Ayesha.
Also, I'd love the code, if you haven't given it away already. Congratulations on getting the game early.

May I take it?
Thank you again for the code.
No, each store has a costume DLC as I see in the official page of the game. Here in Spain the only store that gave you a costume DLC is you pre-order the game is GAME. And I don't know how but a spanish online store called Xtralife gives you the costumes if you buy the game (even when the game is released, they usualy give you the DLC when you buy the game). So I decided to cancel my pre-order in GAME and buy the game on that store.
That's cool. I'd never use the witch costume but it's nice to have all of them.
I love JRPGs, and I got Platinum on Ayesha.
Funny thing is, I never really got into the game's characters or story, but it was a refreshing new world for me to explore.
I then bought the Rorona trilogy, and had to stop playing the first one after 10 or so hours.
Suddenly I realized: It. was. SO. boring!
Game mechanics, (especially the obnoxious quest system), and a boring story with no depth whatsoever really gave me a bad experience. I then realized that Ayesha sucked too - if you weren't at spot X at time Y, you'd miss an event - I hate that in games. Also, I hate time limits.
Didn't even bother unpacking the other two games, just threw them in the trash.
I am annoyed that I don't like the Atelier games, because I ought to - but they just don't appeal to me, which I regret.
If this game is anything like the other Atelier games, I'm not touching it.

Haha, yeah me too. I thought the Witch costume was cuter than the Pirate costume which is why I wanted it. Really hope Amazon fixes this. >\
You've essentially played the worst games in the Arland and Dusk trilogies,play Totori/Meruru and Escha

Ayesha doesn't belong in that category.

Ayesha > Totori > Rorona
I haven't really gotten deep enough in Meruru to judge it.
Rorona might change if I ever get to play Shin Rorona. (plz K-T)
Don't get me started on the PS2 games.

Awwwwwww!
I threw out Totori and Meruru without even opening them, as I thought they were just more of the same :/
I had to import them from the US, as I couldn't find them in Europe.
"Edit" to above post of mine:
I got platinum on Ayesha, and then bought Rorona, Totori and Meruru,
Rorona was a lot like Ayesha to me, except it felt so ummm.... bland (?) - looking for the right word here.
Ayesha was OK, but I hated that I had to follow a FAQ by the letter to get my platinum (I'm a Trophy Whore btw ;o) Somehow I kinda liked it, and hopes for similar experiences with Rorona, Totori and Meruru, but Rorona simply killed my interest in the franchise.
I think that Rorona made me dislike Ayesha too, even though I didn't feel like that while playing Ayesha.
It's hard for me to explain - I hope I make a bit of sense ;o)
Having to be at spot X by time Y only really applies to Rorona and the treasure contests in Ayesha. All of the other games are very lenient about when events will occur and you can easily do whatever without worrying that you'll run out of time. There's a reason the FAQs for Totori onwards have large amounts of time set aside for absolutely nothing.
Rorona is easily the worst of the series and has the strictest time limit. There's barely any free time in that game to do anything. Totori, on the other hand, greatly improves on this. I probably had around 2 years of nothing to do when I had fulfilled all the ending requirements.
Linca is much more of a badass in this game, Marion isn't playable anymore
noooooo, my irish badass

You literally just threw two video games in the garbage Fangrim? You didn't even bother to give them to someone?
If they were still unopened, he could have probably easily gotten back what he paid for them.
