Got my preorder put in today, brehs. Let's DO THIS.
-
Waiting for a price drop.
-
You went back in time and preordered a game from March 7th?! :o
-
hahahahahahaha
-
I have it on pre-order although it was delayed for a week in my region. Looking forward to moe-ing it up on Friday night.
-
I still haven't picked up Ayesha yet...
But Gust makes some nice looking games, and they're pretty speedy at developing them with a small team... they must be doing something right.
-
Some points:
-Same basic gameplay is intact from the previous games
-Items used in the field are automatically restored when you return to town [these items are equipped in a limited number of slots]
-Lots of returning character from Atelier Ayesha
-Japanese voices this time, unlike with Ayesha
-Tasks are segmented into 4-month periods, with a main task and about twenty secondary tasks
-Monthly stipend based on your performance
-Collecting enough items and fighting enough monsters in the field give you a randomly generated event [finding a rare item, fighting a strong monster, ect.]
If you liked the previous games in the series, there's no reason why you won't also like this one. If you didn't like it before, you still won't like it.
-
Getting free refills of items is a gamechanger. Now you benefit from using adventure items as much as possible. No more sitting on your megalexirs until the end credits.
I finished all the objectives in the first assignment with 50 days to spare so now I'm trying to synthesize useful items in preparation of the next big assignment.

seems the next atelier game got announced, from the look of it, it's still a PS3 game
