Atelier Meruru: The Alchemist of Arland 3 - Blu-ray Forum

MOONPHASE · 03-08-2011, 08:49 AM

Not much is known about it, but it's the 13th title in the Atelier series(excluding any of the spin-off and side-story Atelier games) and that it's the 3rd Atelier game in the Arland saga of the series. It will be released on PS3 sometime this year.

Here's a sampler trailer Gust showed at a recent event a couple of days ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeB6PzZNPvA

Still waiting for Atelier Totori, but more Atelier games is always good. I know Rorona will play a key role in this new game, but I wonder if Totori will be in this one as well?

MOONPHASE · 03-11-2011, 12:39 AM

Official website will be available as of March 25th http://atelier-ps3.jp/newatelier/
Will probably have more details included.

Well you'll be happy to know that Totori isn't as annoying of a plat especially since there's no time limits. I imagine Meruru being the same way.

So basically while Atelier Rorona is a traditional-style Atelier game, but it did have those few annoying things about it like time limits, and so so on. Totori was more closer to almost exactly like how the Atelier games have been since the series started on PS1.

Atelier Totori has a 100% chance of coming stateside, but Atelier, Ar tonelico, and Atelier's Mana Khemia games take really long time to localize. But do hope NISA says something about Atelier Totori after at least Ar tonelico Qoga comes out. If not then I hope at least they bring us Atelier Judie and Violet for PSP.

Nice, ya I watched some trailers on Totori and it looked a lot better (not that I didn't like Rorona). It just seemed like it had a more solid story to it and an overall better look to the gameplay as well.

This might be wishing a lot for this type of game, but I wish they had animated cut scenes, or at least an ending anime scene. I mean the art is great, but remember xenogears?

Here's a better looking version of that trailer

At this rate, i'm guessing Totori will be arriving sometime in Winter to Spring 2012. We'll probably hear some announcement like when NIS America has their Summer Conference event where they make a bunch of announcements at once. So pretty much about the time Atelier Meruru is available in Japan.

Last year's Summer Conference it was for Gust's other series Ar tonelico as well as some other ones like Z.H.P. and Cladun(aka Classic Dungeon). Plus NIS America has partnered up with Imageepoch, so they're going to have a pretty busy schedule as is. Plus there's so many other Atelier games that need to come out of Japan. Then you have to realize that Gust games take awhile to translate and dub.

So unless they secretly already have Totori. we're looking at a 2012 release. If it does get released in 2011, it'll be like around Christmas.

Atelier Meruru: The Alchemist of Arland 3 (PS3, Gust): 9, 9, 8, 9 - (35/40)

Famitsu gives Atelier Meruru a 35 out of 40, which is not a bad score. In fact it's a great score and Gust should be proud. They made a great game and it shows. I do look forward to playing this final game in this trilogy and hopefully it does come out here in the States after Atelier Totori is released in the States.

If I remember right, that's like 5 points higher than what Rorona got.
