I would get more upset at the Totori delay if I didn't still need to play Rorona.

That's bad news to hear, which would explain the otherwise early shipping of the game. Oh well, more time to get things done in Disgaea 4.

it's awesome but some of their reviews were hit or miss lately ...some of their complain towards some of teh games i enjoy were REALLY unfounded IMO ...
They are thinking mainstream in their notes when this is a site for fan of rpgs ..
Atleast when they love a rpg it's usually the same for me ...
I think they just screwed up, they knew well beforehand thatthe game wouldn't ship early (they sent an email out to people letting them change their shipping info, etc. until last Friday). Their PR isn't very open with these types of things.matmanx1 said:
Hopefully the delay isn't too long.

Man, i dont know what it is about these Atelier games that i absolutely must have. I played Atelier Iris and absolutely loved it, but got distracted by other stuff and never quite finished it, but i still picked up 2 and 3, and then Mana Khemia 1 & 2, I never did pick up Rorona, but I may pick it up with Totori.

Sounds like TECMO KOEI America Corportation was unexpectedly over booked or something. They're likely the distributer so I'm guessing they're responsible for the hold up.

Haha! I have noticed you have quite the enthusiasm for Meruru.
I know an importer on gamefaqs wrote up a review and posted it on his site around the time of its release. That was a while ago though. He had some glowing remarks for the graphics. I think he said the battle system is exactly the same as Totori though. I'll try and find it right now.
Edit: I found it:

I don't know what language the review was originally typed in, but the review translation is very readable and Tomio posted it himself from gamefaqs.
I'm considering the same myself...Takuya said:
I imported the Limited Edition! Although I refused to play it until I got to play Totori... So sadly, I can't give impressions just yet.kyubajin said:Btw, has anyone played an imported version of Meruru?

Oh my!
I'm sorry, kyubajin. I hadn't read Tomio's review in a long time. I just glimpsed over it.
"The look is also better working, leaving the game with a softer look, style, color pencils."
Heh heh..... you get the point though, right? ;p

No. NISA isn't getting the game in their warehouses till the 29th so local stores probably won't have it till.... say Wednesday at the earliest. I forgot that this isn't a blockbuster release so overnight shipping isn't happening. We'll probably still get it before the Rosen Queen shoppers though.
Yeah, it's very unfortunate since I was anticipating this game so much! I guess I should try to play something else in the meantime... Or watch some anime like Kami-sama no Memochou or Hanasaku Iroha, the character design is done by Kishida Mel anyway! So it's still somewhat related to Totori?
I actually played some Atelier Annie yesterday as well... Gathering's a bit harder because as you gather/walk through the areas, time passes.

I just found out that a local store has a copy... I'm tempted to buy it locally and resell the one I ordered with VGP when it arrives.
The only problem is that I'm sure I wouldn't actually resell it and just end up with both the PAL and NTSC versions of the game. Which wouldn't really be so bad I guess.

Didn't buy everything (had to buy RE, too), but at least I bought all of the characters and the BGM pack with the Mana Khemia songs. I'm amazed there are that much songs you can download for Totori. I'm really happy about that (and they're not all 100KB, the one pack I bought alone is a massive 311MB download). Now if only my game would be shipped.
Yeah seriously. I think they're all about 300+ MBs, the Atelier pack is smaller though, probably because it just has the Atelier/Workshop music from every game up until Rorona. And that's like 1 or 2 BGMs at most.Jucksalbe said:Didn't buy everything (had to buy RE, too), but at least I bought all of the characters and the BGM pack with the Mana Khemia songs.

But 30 songs per pack is quite a lot, I'm pleasantly surprised! I probably won't use them right away though, gotta appreciate this game's OST first.

That was quick.
Wow, this is sooooo cool! I didn't know about this feature before. I can see myself sitting in the shop all day and just changing music up as I synthesize. It's like I have a radio in the shop. And Mana Khemia/Iris battle themes were cool!
THIS IS SO NEAT!
I only have enough funds to download one thing so far. I think I'll go with Ceci as a playable character. I gotta get a psn card when I pick up the game!
Haha, always glad to see such enthusiasm about it!Spirit Icana said:
And yes, I'm very happy about this BGM DLC, I loved Mana-Khemia and the Iris Trilogy's battle themes~ Also can't wait to hear some of the music from the pre-Iris games. I'm sure they're just as lovely as the ones we've experienced already~

I think it's their default "we don't have the item yet" shipping notice. IIRC there was a statement form NISA that most retailers wouldn't be getting their copies until today, so hopefully our preorders ship today or tomorrow.

I got my notice last night that Totori would be in today, so i'll let you guys know if it actually arrives. I wasnt thinking and only got the regular version, so hopefully they get extra copies of the other one and i can just upgrade.
