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

Jakuri mug

What are you looking at boy?

Horray for another edition to my ever growing Ar tonelico collection. ^^ I won the official mug that Gust sold on their online shop off of Yahoo! Japan Auctions a month ago and now I own this wonderful piece of merchandise. They chose to have the right expression for Jakuri (sarcastic FTW) and color for it for this. I love it. I won't be taking this out of the box often until I finally get a glass case to store this and my figures in.

In other news, my birthday is tomorrow. Yay? I already recieved my gift from my parents: Fate/Unlimited Codes for the PS2. No special edition however as I have no real interest in the Saber Lily figma that came with it. Although the game was bought new the disc came out of its place in the case while it was being shipped and thus it got plenty of scratches on it. Fun. -_- Hopefully it still works.

A happy belated birthday

Vayne Aurelius's birthday was two days ago. I ended up becoming so busy that I forgot all about it. ;_; I'm sorry Vayne and happy late birthday you wonderful alchemist!

Hey, a Fate RPG!

It's fate that this game was created. All right, I admit that I made a pretty bad pun. xD (Image credit: Sankaku Complex)

I swear, the Fate franchise will never die. Not that I'm complaining. Imageepoch has been devolping a Fate/stay Night RPG for the PSP for quite some time called Fate/Extra. The graphical style looks very similar to that of Fate/Unlimited Codes. I'm pulling for a battle system similar to that of the Tales series. Regardless, this game is looking like a day one buy for me so far.

Also, Saber looks good in red.

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
