Quick and Dirty OT! Since the game is essentially the same as the PS3 version, here is the PS3 Version's OT!

[Plus what, exactly?]

PS3 DLC! All the DLC that you had to buy with the PS3 version should be included. Meaning the DLC Characters, Ceci, Cordelia, and Iksel should already be in the game! Good time to check out the characters if you never bought them on the PS3 version. Also there is the BGM DLC which allows you to switch the BGM for the workshops, for battle, and for boss fights with songs from previous games in the Atelier series or older Gust games (that aren't Ar tonelico) outside the series!

New costumes! New costumes, such as a Devil Bikini and the Angel Swimsuit for Totori are available as DLC, and you can get them for free if you purchase the game on PSN before April 12th. There are also several others in game, such as a maid costume that you can seemingly synthesize...

Accessories! Totori can now wear accessories such as glasses!

New Dungeon! Orthogalaxen, one of the final dungeons from Atelier Rorona makes an appearance in Atelier Totori Plus! Loaded with two new difficult bosses, new recipes, and materials!

New Illustration Section! You can now view some of Kishida Mel's Atelier Totori artwork under "Event Stills" in the Extras section.

Japanese Voices! Not a new feature but considering the whole Ayesha voice fiasco, I figured people would like to know Japanese voices are indeed, included!

Credits: Gunloc for pointing out that the DLC costumes are free with purchase until April 12th, Varion for info on Orthogalaxen!

 

[dakkumauji]

A stealthy OT just like the game's release. Excellent!

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Vita is saved?

 

[Durante]

That was quick, good job on it too considering the short notice. Totori is my favourite in the Arland Trilogy so I'll probably jump in on this sooner or later.

 

[Avallon]

Jeeeeeez you got this up fast. The game's been out for half an hour (not even).

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Wait, what?

 

[Durante]

Wait, what?

The game is out. Bet you didn't expect that!

It's a totally new marketing paradigm being explored by Tecmo-Koei US. The keywords are "stealth", "surprise" and "whatthefuckamidoing".

 

[Lockon]

Still haven't platinum'd Ayesha yet! Only have to do NG+. Will buy Totori+ later after that and Neptunia V.

 

[dallow_bg]

How many games come out without any promotion, or even acknowledgement that it is even being localized?
Amazing.

You missed the Mother 3 US launch, didn't you?

 

[Stark]

Still what?

Awesome OT pop up though.

 

[Dead Prince]

must be part of the pre sony marketing team

 

[Toki767]

must be part of the pre sony marketing team

Maybe they hired the old Sony marketing team.

 

[Twin Drive System]

No physical? Welp, can't even play.

 

[macklelol]

Damn, just platinum'd Ayesha like an hour ago, and this happens? Really enjoyed Totori on the PS3, so I'll definitely be getting this.

 

[Kincaido]

Need some money for this. Will buy it asap though. Asami Imai <3

 

[dragonflys545]

Well...

I remember thinking that nothing would change under TK.


Man, I should slap my past self.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

That was quick, good job on it too considering the short notice. Totori is my favourite in the Arland Trilogy so I'll probably jump in on this sooner or later.

Better do it sooner rather than later to cash in on the $50 for $10 deal. T-K's strategy all along.

 

[Stark]

Need some money for this. Will buy it asap though. Asami Imai <3

Indeed.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Can't wait to play after VGCW is over tonight.

 

[stupid_dad]

Hope that it gets released on EU store today

We may disagree on things, but you are my favorite sometimes.

 

[BroggieDoge]

Damn just when I thought my wallet was going to catch a break.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Dunno much anything about the series. But a good looking Vita game so I might get it!

For the plot of course!

 

[Durante]

I remember thinking that nothing would change under TK.


Man, I should slap my past self.

I thought the same thing. I guess even in my ripe old age I can still be surprised by some companies' staggering incompetence.

 

[CHusson91]

I'm not a huge fan of RPGs, but I've been enjoying Persona because of the characters and story. Is this similar?

 

[ajim]

Anyone know when/if its hitting the AU store?

 

[Ken]

File size?

 

[Thoraxes]

Woah, what?

Was this ever announced?

 

[Volcynika]

Woah, what?

Was this ever announced?

Nope!

 

[Hours Left]

The DLC costumes are in the game, the PSN update says if you buy the game before April 16th you get the ‘Angel Swimsuit’ and ‘Devil Bikini’ for free.

 

[Venfayth]

File size?

~3GB I think

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Woah, what?

Was this ever announced?

Noooope!

File size?

2922MB.

Done.

You do!? I need to make way for an April purchase then.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Japanese voices? I'm buying this and replaying it instead of Ayesha.


whenever the Vita gets a price cut ;-;

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

I wish I had a Vita so I can put in too many more hours into a video game again. Also god damn Tecmo, I didn't even know Totori+ was being released here.

 

[HiddenAway]

Hope that it gets released on EU store today

Anyone know when/if its hitting the AU store?

It's not beyond the realms of possibility but Tecmo Koei Europe might decide not to because of the (albeit slight) risk of eating into the Dead or Alive 5+ release this week.

Plus, it might actually give them time to announce it properly!

 

[firehawk12]

Ah man, this whole situation is hilarious.

 

[Diebuster]

I find it utterly bizarre how something like this can even happen. Ah well, I may consider getting this as my first foray into the series later down the line.

 

[Rarutos]

Thanks! Updated the costume section.

 

[Ken]

So how is the battle stuff? Or is that second to the alchemy.

 

[Stark]

So Meruru+ NA next week guis?

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Nice OT Rar.

Crazy how they didn't even say that they were bringing this over and them BAM!

 

[Hours Left]

So Meruru+ NA next week guis?

It's already out. TK bought it and beat it for you.

 

[zulux21]

I'm not a huge fan of RPGs, but I've been enjoying Persona because of the characters and story. Is this similar?

they are very different games, personally I play the atelier series when I want something JRPG like but that doesn't feel like a jrpg.

totori focuses mostly on character interactions instead of a big overall story (there sorta is one but there isn't a ton to it until the very end of the game)

If you enjoy item creation stuff in RPGs though this game would likely be quite interesting as a lot of the game is gathering materials to make items with the very in depth item creation system.

 

[Thoraxes]

Noooope!

Nope!

Man, I would've put aside money for this if I knew about it.

 

[namDa65]

i was on the ps store update today and i was so confused. lmfao, man i should have never bought the ps3version

 

[Memento_Mori15]

I'm not a huge fan of RPGs, but I've been enjoying Persona because of the characters and story. Is this similar?

I've only played Rorona a bit so my opinion my not matter. I was introduced to this series by people who liked Persona a couple years back and gave it a shot. The music, crafting, and the character interactions are great. However, I can't comment on the story since I never made it that far. However, if you're looking for something similiar to Persona 4 like social links or its gameplay(gameplay is really simple in Rorona), it's probably best to stay away.&#12288;Character interactions and playing with the craft system? Then get it.
