Atelier Ayesha - Gust Announcement in Dengeki Magazine

I'd recommend avoiding those non-Gust-produced titles... even if you have the monies.

Me too. While it's personal preferences and all, those games are vastly different from GUST's actual games. The Atelier/At characters in there are mostly just for fanservice, so it's perfectly okay to skip them if you just want to enjoy GUST games.

Those games I'm referring to are from different series that have no similarity; I love Gust and their games, but I do have other interests.
What annoys me is the continuous 'let's release the games on one console' junk; I see no reason why they can't put these games on the 360 as well; all it would do is increase the number of people interested in their games.

[SlashZero]

Something about Microsoft and minimum print numbers I think. Plus the 360 is basically a failure in Japan and the Wii lacks processing power.

The 3D models are GLORIOUS! Almost a perfect copy of the 2D artwork.

It may be just me but Asha reminds me of a certain blonde-haired maiden that we all know too well...

Cool, Marina Inoue is one of my favorite seiyu; if only Gust would release it for the 360.

so....3D models instead of 2D facial expressions now?

[Eleinia]

I wonder if this game will get localized.

Hmm... I'm curious to see how much the 3D models have improved. If they are dropping 2D facial expressions, they'd better have some good 3D models with the facial expressions to make up for it.

Palsa, maybe you should just tighten your belt and shell out the money for a PS3.
It might not be worth it if there were only a couple games, but apparently Gust is keeping its PS3 exclusivity.

[Nash]

How many roleplaying titles of Japanese origin get released on 360 anyway?

If Sony would untighten their. . . self, and stop acting greedy over a console that's been on the market for 6 years, and lower it to a more economically stable price for the consumers; then I'd happily give them plenty of business when games for that console are concerned; in the meantime, that's not happening.

[Utsuho Lazy]

Official title is Atelier Ayesha -黄昏の大地の錬金術士-

(Kensou, would you mind updating the topic title?)

[Nash]

If this was Arland, then she might have been called Yeyesha instead? *sublimated*

Guess it's not Arland after all.

Btw is the subtitle "Alchemist of the Ground of Dusk"? that's what it said on an official image ...

"Land of Dusk" sounds a lot better than "Ground of Dusk"...

[Nash]

Dusk... could be the Arland before Ar ciel?

Hmm... I wouldn't mind its price going down but I don't think it's that expensive now. Considering the price was $600 when it came out and now it's $250, it did drop quite a bit over these years (and yeah I know it no longer supports PS2 backward compatibility...). PS2 was about $300 (if I remember correctly) when it came out and dropped to like $130 when I looked a year ago. Last year around Thanksgiving, there was a deal where a Holiday bundle PS3 was going for $200. It was a good deal.

I would also think it's a better deal than the Xbox360. PS3 with 160GB HD is $250 and Xbox360 with 4GB memory is $200. I wouldn't mind shell out another $50 just for the ability to playback blu-ray and a HD on PS3.

Sorry for offtopic post.

I'm impressed by people who can go and own multiple consoles of the same generation... I only have one, and my backlog has grown exponentially!
