NIS had announced a couple of months back that the latest game in the Atelier series “Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk” would be localized in the West soon and we had to wait for the announcement for the release date. the wait is finally over and the official release date will be March 5th, the same month as Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. Good grief. I already had plans to order both Neptunia V and Meruru, but Ayesha is here. GAH, Decisions, decisions. So many great games. Seriously developers, give me a break.
Oh, and if you want to increase sales, include the swimsuit DLC for both the playable and the inevitable DLC girls.
I also find it interesting that Tecmo Koei, the makers of the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series acquired Gust last year. I wonder what this will mean in regards to the future of the franchise. According to TK, they want to make the series more popular by turning future games in the series into more social ones while still maintaining the series’ classic RPG, synthesizing and recently introduced world building elements.

Amazon had this listed for preorders three weeks ago. Should of trusted them and saved my money. Well, I was not planning on getting it day one anyway, so waiting until after or on May is good enough. Already have other games that demand my attention. But, Linica in a swimsuit?! Do want =_=

Well, for me, I am also talking about stuff I need to finish or not even done with. Need to complete Atelier Meruru for the first time, Halfway done with Mugen Souls…its a long list =_=

Indeed. I’m a collector so I pick up games I want, even if I didn’t get to finish some previous ones yet. Still, I’m wondering if my approach is a good one. Meh, for now it’s going fine.

I wonder if Ayesha is in line with the Arland series of Atelier games. I have Rorona and Meruru, but the gaming store I go to didn’t have Totori.

No. Ayesha’s storyline is separate from the Arland trilogy.

This is so tempting but I have to resist any game purchases until after May. As pu said there are quite a few good games coming out close together, it’s a bit unfair. Meruru has gotten me really wanting to get Rorona and Totori though.

Hmhm. Finishing the Arland Trilogy before tackling Ayesha is your choice of action I see.

It’s what I’d like to do but it all depends on my funds for games during the summer.

The thing is that the reason why I can’t spend money is for pleasure. Going to an anime con in may and have to get my costume ready for it along with other stuff.
