I'm pretty sure that the only item that is ever in that treasure chest is a bomb, but I could be wrong.

Atelier Totori Plus (Vita) |OT| Stealthily Adventuring onto PSN

Amazingly, despite the bad lack of PR from Tecmo-Koei, Totori Plus was the top selling Vita game on PSN last month!
I'm gonna guess it was a combination of word of mouth (in part because of the lack of PR) the free DLC costumes and the spend $50 get $10 back promotion they did last month.

I'm very happy to see this game getting positive sales. 
Turned out to be an Ignot. If you return with him in your party you open the chest safely. At least it's not an important item.
I'm very happy I restarted in NG+... after only about 2 hours of play I'm almost at level 20 and have reached the 3rd Adventurer rank (at least I have the points for it), and I'm only in January of Year 2. Having the powerful gear and extra money to buy all the recipes makes it a breeze to blow through.

Okay, I'm in the final year, got everyone's friendship to 60, and am generally doing pretty well.
It's just that this Spring cup trick seems like the only viable strategy to attaining the money needed for one of the endings. The problem being that it has been severely nerfed. Reading a round a little, the profit gain is pretty meagre now, and although I was making back the original cost, it isn't really anything special, especially in comparison to what it had been. I'm aware that several other items become available (eventually) to bump up the profit, though I'd like to know when this is, and whether anyone has already achieved this in their own Vita playthrough. Currently it looks as though this could take a really long time, or I simply will reach the end before I start making real gains.
I hope there is someway around this! As much as I've enjoyed this, I'd hate to be dragged through multiple NG+ for the sake of an ending.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Are your Spring Cups of high quality? 120?
Yes, but they revert back to 100 when registered to Pamela anyway. The issue is that the price has risen between ports, so you make a small profit, comparatively.
I'm aware that more lucrative items can eventually appear with the spring cups, but I haven't gotten to that point yet.
I'm just curious if anyone has already tackled this in the Vita version, and whether they could enlighten me a little bit on the process. Everything that I've read has mainly being focussed on the vanilla edition, so it's a little bit inaccurate in spots.

does anyone know where there is a walkthrough posted in .pdf format? I can only find ones in html and they do not print out..
It has crossed my mind, though the legwork involved in producing (and maturing) another spring cup, would take me quite a while.
Is there a rough guide as to when the other items become available? I know that they are tied to location, but I don't know where they are.

Make sure that it says Spring Liquid+
That + sign if very important. I make around 13K profit from each transaction. Add in Giga Stink and Price Down M or L

I have a feeling it's mostly due to the fact it is a mainline PS3 title on VITA. People want to play full games (especially PS3) on their VITAs not just indie titles. I'm just bummed I had to wait a week to d/l it and I missed out on the swimsuits....

I think the dlc is included till the 16th so you are still able to get it.

This is good to see! If I liked handhelds even remotely I'd be playing this. Hoping for thta Vita with HDMI soon.

really? Did it d/l with everything else, or is it a seperate d/l? it doesn't appear under the costume tab.

Honestly I don't know I have been on the fence about buying it for a couple weeks and lerking around the forum to hopefully get pushed over the edge towards buying it.

This pleases me a great deal. Love the game's visual design so much.
It's a RPG/Job sim game *sorta*

So good, all of these are good games and are a nice change of pace from what we see on the top 10 on PS3.

It should say on the store page "Atelier Totori Plus with Swimsuit DLC" or something like that.

here:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw...-dlc/cid=UP4108-PCSE00231_00-TOTORIBONUSDLC00
It says "with Bonus DLC" and in its description: "This bundle is a limited time offer until Apr 16th, 2013."

then where are all the swimsuits dammit!
thanks

The swimsuits are also in a separate download that has the same name of the game but much smaller.

Completely cosmetic.
People who buy bad games on PS3 don't own a Vita, they play Angry Birds on their phones and think it's the best thing ever.
Do other characters get extra costumes?

I've played it for a couple hours and the best way I can describe it so far is "Charming"
It's been easy to get into, although not a deep story so far, but the mechanics are fun and it's easy to pick up and play. The side quests are actually perfect to pick the game up, play for a little bit, then save and shut the VITA down. This is perfect for my crazy busy life I have..
so the game plays pretty well in short bursts? I'm seriously not needing a new game right now, but I'm super curious about this series.
Does anyone have some insight as to what the average play time is for completing the game? Is this a super long epic JRPG or a reasonable 30-40 hours?
Well I'm now a platinum rank, but I'm in my third year in August already. I've been traveling and alchemizing to get my rank up, but now I'm running out of things I can do. All the places left to travel to, and find gathering points are ones with very strong opponents that I'm getting wiped with. I did manage to make the travels shoes, but I fear that really isn't going to be of much use if I can't even go to those far off places.

Thanks, I think I'm going to spend my money on Soul Hackers for now... but this game is next on my list. May is devoid of anything I want so that'll probably be the time to pick this up, though maybe I'll just bite the bullet now for the free DLC. Doubt we'll see a price drop either on the software or Vita memory cards before then anyway.

Well I caved and got it. I would have gotten it sooner but the digital only thing was holding me back.
Just how much worse looking is it than the PS3 version anyway? I got the impression it was notably worse, but maybe I'm misremembering how the PS3 version looked in the first place?
Though I'd probably still wait on a sale just because of having the PS3 version WITH all DLC. May as well play what I have rather than pay for an extra dungeon (and, err, swimsuits I'd ignore.)
