Atelier Rorona coming to North America in 2010

My-my-my Rorona!

The summer of 2010 to be exact. NISA officially announced the game's localization in their most recent newsletter. Seeing that NISA is doing it I'm a bit worried about it due to past mistakes by them, but knowing that the traditional Atelier games in the series are finally getting attention (along with Rororina-chan. <3) makes me a happy Tenma. ^^ I'll be playing through Rorona a while before its released here in America so playing through the English version should be an interesting experience since I'll already know what's going on. Regardless, I can't wait for Rororina-chan and friends to make it stateside.

Horray for Rorona! ^^

Official press release

See this?

I want this. Badly.

━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━

Why? Because I do and it has Lisette in it. Oh Lisette...

Science has never been so cute. <3

This is also pretty awesome. It's a science study guide based off of Atelier Rorona. If there was an English version of it then I would definitely try to convince my university to endorse and use these for a class. >=D

A Marie version has also been confirmed.

I'm not too sure that I would want to learn from a student like her though... :O

Atelier DS 3 - Atelier Lina!

Nyaa~!

Gust has announced a third installment in the DS Atelier side series. Lina's pretty cute but she's not as cute as Lisette or Rorona.



...



Wha? I'm sorry! ;_; Anyway, it's being released in Japan on the 22nd of December for 5040 yen. If there's a premium box like there has been with the majority of the games in the series then I'll buy that.

Also, I like the song on the main page. I have high hopes for the soundtrack as usual.

Another reason why I wish that I lived in Japan. ;_;

The US never gets cool stuff like this. Ever. I want the towels. Badly.

Oh well. ;o;

Clicky clicky!

The official Atelier Rorona countdown site is up. There's going to be a new video every day on this site until Rorona's release about the game's mechanics, featuring Rorona's director. Voice clips are also on the site in mp3 and wav format, and a new pic will be uploaded every day in Gust's oekaki section up until the game's release.

9 more days! *Is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the premium box that he preordered*

I don't want to play this game. I need to play this game. Now. I don't care if NISA, heck anyone for that matter is planning on localizing this game. I'm playing it regardless of my Japanese knowledge.

Atelier Rorona! <3

I deleted my previous entry. It was a result of an outburst of emotions and I believe that I went a little too far. XD

I'm late with this, I know. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Personally, I thought that the "blu-ray" beneath the PS3 was humorous. Like we didn't know that blu-ray was the format for the PS3
already. >_>

March 27th: A date where I'll certainly be on the lookout.
So Gust has decided to move onto the PS3 eh? It may not be a popular decision with most fans of the series, but I approve of this. The PS3 may be a hard console to develop for and I wish that Sony went with something other than their own blu-ray, but it's something that I believe deserves more support than it's getting.

Hopefully it's another entry in the traditional Atelier series of games. The Iris trilogy didn't receive that good of a reception in Japan due to its "save the world" plotlines and the traditional RPG elements. I believe that Gust has recognized this and has thrown the idea to the shack. Not to say that they weren't good games, which they were. Of all the games in the series, I've only played Atelier Iris 1, 2, and 3. Sadly. ;_; I've always wanted to try the normal entries in the series. *Has put off importing Atelier Lise and/or Annie for far too long*

It looks as Gust has brought in a new artist to do the artwork this time. I don't recognize the style right away, but the artwork shown looks absolutely stunning. Rorona, if that's her name on the right, looks adorable! ^^; She's up there with Lisette on my Atelier cuteness meter.




I'm so happy that you think that way Tenma!

Aww...no worries. After all, it's the truth! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XfHtscsjFw7yXWLDebaH2KsEUk3UW6FNyTx6TL_NkWmVhnCb1i6NskrbYtn6s-wEgGi2-R-SIUCQuYu2BMnkeGYy6Od-5HH9RR4oA2UCd4stJxskQPwIK8P_LanQfq9q79pM964xxYBx/s1600-h/roronaface.png">



Hmmm...I think we're going to be knowing each other for a long, long time. <3 href="http://www.crossmedia.com.hk/gn/20090312/10261">already named June 25th as its possible date at a price of 6800 yen. When it does hit the streets in Japan I shall be waiting here patiently for my share of Rorona goodness. I'm planning on preordering if I have the money for it, especially if there's a collector's edition of the game like countless other Atelier titles have had in the past. Yay!

Hopefully the official website will be up by then too. Atelier Annie just came out in Japan, so I hope that they'll start to concentrate on Rorona now.I'll be sure to pick up a PS3 before the end of the summer. I've already got some money saved up for it and I'm getting ready for the console's price to drop at any given time. Which I hope will be this spring.

Yay Rorona! ^^

Christmas day was quite the goodness. I finally got a guitar. It's just a small acoustic. As of right now I suck, but that's quite expected as I'm just your average beginner. The majority of my other gifts were accessories and spare parts for my guitar. Other than that, I got DDR Supernova, a dance pad, and Tales of Destiny Remake for the PS2. Yay.

My swap disc kit finally arrived yesterday, and I started playing Atelier Iris: Grand Fantasm. So far I've only started on the first mission. The game engine, including the active cost card battle system, resembles Eternal Mana 2. Not that I'm complaining.

I'm currently in Daath in Tales of the Abyss. The party found Fon Master Ion there, and found out that the chaos that has been active within the Sephiroth is not in the Score. Meanwhile, Mohs and Dist wants to restart the war despite the collapse of the Rugnica Plains into the Qliphoth. On their way out, the party runs into them and gets captured along with Noelle. They are taken to a place that looks like the Tartarus. Luke thinks that he going to be executed since he isn't mentioned in the Score. I'll find out soon enough. I also finished Chapter 2 of Disgaea 2. Finally.

I'm going to Arrim's annual Christmas party now. It's an insomniac party (It lasts until the next morning), and we're going to Red Lobster for dinner. Yay. It'll be nice to see AJ and company again.

Oh, and I want puni! I don't care if it's pink or not, I need puni! ;_;

Blah

Being a college student, I am very well aware that final exams are coming up. Wednesday is going to be nothing but hell. Total hell. I still need to do that gigantic portrait tomorrow.

I wonder what brother Snipe's doing right now. I haven't seen him since the Tenma bash, and the last video that he posted on YouTube is over a month old. That doesn't matter though as Hand Making Development shall finally be together after the fall semester is over! :poorly placed fake laugh x3:

I'm making slow progress on Tales of the Abyss. I'm in the Deo Pass struggling to beat Regret (Regret, Legretta, same person). It's either that I suck, I'm horribly underleveled for the area, or both. This is all on hard may I add. I really want to play AI: Grand Fantasm, but I do not currently possess the resources to do so, as in no Japanese PS2, mod chip, or swap disc. x(

Hyper levels rising. Need sleep.
