he is pretty awesome, his facial expressions are really good
No kidding, it really feels like it's (succesfully) trying a lot of different things - everything form discovery to the actual crafting itself. I'm actually excited for this, which I couldn't say the same for going from Meruru to Ayesha.
First trailer

The intro to this made me realize that Atelier is probably the JRPG franchise with the most entries.

Well, its 17th Atelier game so if we count mainlines only, this is the longest series I know....
Although if S-E had a similar classifying scheme as Gust, games like XIII-2/3, Type-0, and FFT would count as "mainline" entries.
And Totori is even better.
You should also try Mana Khemia, since you get it off PSN. It's also part of Atelier games, which has a very enjoyable gameplay.

Mana Khemia are the best Atelier games.
Compile Heart will try to beat that with as many games related to Neptunia as possible.

This the start of a new trilogy?
If they continue their rate of ~2 games a year it's still going to take a good decade or so.
They refused to comment on whether this series will be a trilogy. But it is a start of new series.

I wasn't expecting such a bad-ass design from an Atelier game, but Plachta's mech suit looks amazing.
The first Atelier game I played was Totori, I imagine this will be my second.

I really like her design.
New stuff!
Lots of info on changes to the battle system, like choosing what every character will do at the start of the turn rather than when their turn comes up and that every character can use items but which kinds of items they can use will be different. Looks like LP returns to prevent you from being able to do everything out in the field without ever going back home. Finally information on three characters (Corneria having already been introduced, so just two new characters), and the third one is the owner of inn, so just one new party member.

Character design is so much better in Yoru, I can't believe they dropped the ball so hard with this game, the character design was always one of the strongest points of Atelier. Also, I don't like how the battle system works. Not feeling this new Atelier at all.
To me it feels more like a traditional RPG this way. That said, trying to guess who a boss will attack and not being able to adjust until the next turn gets annoying in regular RPGs when you have to deal with an inconvenient turn order, but it's not something I hate. I hope you get a lot of freedom in manipulating turn order.
There we go, 4th song now up on official site, looks like we have our first battle music!
Most of the other new stuff looks to be what was covered in the last news, such as the new characters, day and night cycle, etc. though there is a new wallpaper as well.

Finally, some battle music.
Sounds great.
Sounds great.
Finally, new update! First up new song is great and secondly, three new characters plus some more details on the battle system, including confirmation that Plachta will also be able to be used in battles eventually. There seems to be more male party members than there have been in recent memory too.

I think Escha and Shallie had pretty good battle systems.
While not the same, starting with Escha and Logy they've been bringing back a lot of the systems that made Mana Khemia great, like the back row, switching, and time cards.
Half a decade later I'm convinced it's physically impossible.TheChillyAcademic

This delay was expected when they delayed Yoru until one week before this. No way were they going to release these two games in back to back weeks.
Yoru is also delayed again to October.
yeah, my march atelier ritual is most likely ruined

I hope it means they will have more time to polish the game, which is something that the Atelier series really needs.
But I want it already, fffffff.

Disappointing. Think I will just cancel my preorder and get something else.
Finally something positive since the delay news, a new trailer that has story/battle/alchemy

So Prachta is a soft cover book huh? It looks so weird with the flowing cover / page bundle, since that it totally a hard cover design.
Seem pretty standard as to what i expect so far, though I'm still curious about that Alchemy system. Also, is it just me or is the music totally overpowering the voices?

The game really looks great, I have high hopes for the PS4 version.
6th music track is now up on the official site, the rest of the new stuff appears to just be the info that was already known in the last news.
