I'm waiting for Gust's next IP, as I can't stand the timer system in this franchise. They're great looking games, and fun by all accounts, but I just can't play them when I'm being restricted with in-game deadlines...
Hopefully whatever A14 is will leave that game mechanic behind. |

Pretty much how I feel too. I'd get them, but that is the sole thing stopping me. Maybe I could reconsider if they had great stories or something, but as seeing that they're more "fun" oriented games and I certainly have no fun with time managing and replaying in my RPGs, it is a pass. Such a shame, as I like the artwork and music too. |

I'm pretty pumped for Meruru. This series alone makes PS3 worth the purchase.
The replaying thing is a valid complaint, though, because without a walkthrough and some replaying you definitely won't see all the various endings, and might even miss certain scenes throughout the game. I don't normally replay RPGs often, either, but these games are just really fun, easy to play for short amounts of time (because there is no complicated narrative to remember), and the bulk of the time in the game is honestly spent on character dialog, meaning you can skip through a lot of that on replays if you want and cut the gametime in half pretty much. Others may disagree with me, but to me the Atelier games are like the closest thing video games has to ARIA the Animation as far as overall mood goes (though of course Atelier has the combat/adventuring element)... and I love 'em for that. |

Definite buy for me!
The end of the trailer made me cringe though. At least do the work to pronounce atelier (at-el-yay) correctly.... |

They pronounce it the way the dictionary tells them to: \ˌa-təl-ˈyā\ Pre-ordered this when they went up on the NISA Store. Hope I can squeeze into the T-shirt for cons. I want to give the first two games a second play through before this is released if I can find the time. I only got the generic ending for Rorona and the bad ending for Totori (why does the last mission have a time table if it doesn't matter? I had just finished the boat, too...). I'm not a big fan of having to do everything in a certain amount of time, I really miss just running around on an adventure like in the Iris series. Even Mana Khemia wasn't this strict (please make a third!). Emerje |

...I just noticed the LE comes with a "BARREL!" T-shirt...
...I might have to get the LE for that... Though I don't have the other LEs so it wouldn't really feel right to have that one without the others... :s |
