I'd probably buy them to play on PC as Meruru was pretty decent on PS3 - but 80$ for three old games is a bit much. Shame they haven't actually ported them. Then again I never thought Valkyria Chronicles or Disgaea would get a PC version, so who knows what they'll do in the future.

Rorona starts off as 14 and her model does not change through the game despite her being 17 by the end of her game. Then they have an anime time passing where she becomes 22 in Totori (who is 13 at the start) Then in Meruru (15 at the start, Totori is 19) Astrid won't stand for a Rorona in her 30s and de-ages her back to like 8 or 9. Depending on the ending the alchemist girls all become 14 years old with their memories, Rorona becomes 14 without her memories, or she's back to her normal age.
>>
>>321084250
And that's only in the Plus version of the game. In the original, Rorona was stuck as a loli without her memories of anything other than alchemy no matter what you did.

The Plus version has a Rorona ages back to 30 normally. It's tough as balls to get. You need to get everything, the pie shop, be miss popular, kill the volcano god, and the god in the tower, and complete astrid's storyline.

I can't completely remember if you actually need the pie shop or not, but I think that's only needed for miss popular. Friend levels are also only needed for the miss popular ending and nothing else. The hotspring is only needed if you're specifically going for that ending or want to craft the last costume shop.

But that price is ridiculous. Wait for it to go 50% off and I would recommend it to everyone. I already have all the Plus games(and their PS3 equivalent) so you can download the bundle but it just queues the 3 games like you'd expect. It's not a special bundle with extras or anything.

In the U.S. version they said she was 17 in the beginning of Atelier Rorona, but she was actually 14 years old. 3 years pass as you complete the game, so canonically she is 17 when the game is over (Totori takes place 5 years later which is why she's 22) but in the NA version she is implied to be 20. They seemed to stop caring about the minor censorship detail in later games. I guess they just thought people (i.e., reviewers) would be upset if some characters (mostly Astrid) made suggestive comments about a 14 year old.

I think this is actually a misunderstanding. Nisa put the age of the characters at the end of the game instead of the start. If they were doing it for censorship, they could've made her 18, but the difference is conveniently 3 years which is also the length of the game.

I want to add that almost everyone's age was shifted over by 3 in the instruction manual. I'm going by the Rorona Plus manual by the way since that's the one I have. Here's a comparison with the ages in the Udon published Arland Artbook.

>Name - Age in artbook, Age in instruction manual
>Rorona - 14, 17
>Astrid - 26, 29
>Cordelia - 13, 16
>Iksel - 15, 18
>Sterk - 25, 28
>Gio - 46, 46
>Tantris - 19, 22
>Lionela - 16, 19
>Esty - 17-ish, 29

I'm not sure if Gio was just forgotten or Udon just typo'd. There are a few typos in the artbook.
>>
>>321084250
So the real reason Astrid aged Rorona down was because she realized Rorona was going to surpass her as an alchemist, right?

Ehh...you can enjoy most of Shallies story without playing the other dusk games. But you will miss out on some interactions between returning characters. Especially with Logy and Ayesha coming back, I bet they'll have a few extra scenes with them.

I do think Shallie was one of the better Dusk games just because the other Dusk games weren't that great.

This is the entire Arland story. Atelier games are split up into trilogies and no characters re-appear save a ghost named Pamela through all of them. Similar to Anna in fire emblem or Nurse Joy in Pokemon. Logy re-appears in Sophie but I haven't seen anything about if it's the same person.

Arland is more cute girls doing cute things while learning alchemy, while the newer Dusk series is cute adult girls and a boy adventuring to figure out why the world is turning to shit.

I felt more like Shallie (vanilla) was a continuation of Ayesha than Escha & Logy. Four total characters appeared that originated in E&L, and only two were playable DLC characters. Characters from Ayesha seem to be the only important characters.

>>321103168
Ayesha and E&L still require time management and have multiple ends, Shallie requires you to have done a lot of missions to be able to select an alternate ending, then view both for the "True" ending.

>>321103805
The Plus versions have all DLC
>>
>>321103805
If you only have a PS3, then yeah it's fine to play the regular versions. You are missing some things like costumes and a new ending for Meruru. But they do run better than the vita counterparts.

Meruru will spoil the true end for Totori. And most of your party will be returning characters from Totori. Well, Gino, Mimi, and Totori at least. I don't remember who else. You won't really get their backstory without playing Totori first.

Yeah, she's 40 in Meruru, but she's not 17-ish in Rorona. I can't believe Gust would do that. 29 is more reasonable, but NISA changed character ages for the overseas release.

The plus games are mainly on vita. Rorona isn't which had the biggest upgrade. You mostly miss out on postgame stuff, playable characters and DLC outfits if you play on PS3 for Totori / Meruru. Rorona is the first game in the trilogy so you can just play Rorona plus on PS3 and see if you like it.

Realize the time restraints is even tighter.

>>
>>321109813

About 6 hours into Totori myself. Expect more freedom in the progression. You'll still do quests like in Rorona+ but there's a far greater emphasis on exploring new areas. Whereas Rorona+ is about completing assignments on a strict schedule, Totori basically says "here's a license to adventure and 3 years, don't fuck up", so depending on how you felt about Rorona+'s focused assignment design, Totori can either be a freeing experience or an overwhelming nightmare. Aside from that, it's basically more Atelier. Same cozy atmosphere, same kind of characterization and interactions, similar general mechanics, etc.

I found the story to be bigger and more serious, which is fine, but it keeps the relaxing nature. Melvia is GOAT, Cordelia makes better use of her gun in battle (she is DLC though) and Sterk's still a good tank. Music is great.

Less focused objectives. Instead of monthly "make this", it's gonna be "at the end of year 3 reach this state". It may seem like you're lagging behind at first. It's especially harder to earn money. But about 2 years in, you'll start getting license points really fast from new areas that open up.

There's a new world map design that is what you will be seeing for all the following titles.

The game is 6 years long, so don't take it easy after you fulfill your first objective.

Ok then, let's take a look at this development wise. Compile heart and IF developed 6 games from '10 to '15. That means they used time and resources on those games. Tamsoft developed 2 over a two year period, which isn't that bad. Then you got Felistella who developed 4 games over a 3 year period. All in all, even if you were to compare this to Mario or FF, the spinoffs and main games are sparsely populated enough that their release schedule doesn't look so fucking inflated. This game and series have blown up too fast, and that isn't even to mention all the reused assets across the remakes and main titles. Also look at my 5

>>321109630
So none of the other plus games are outside the vita? And you'd reccomend starting with Rorona even though totori came out first?
>>
>>321114605

Rorona comes before Totori chronologically but Totori got its Plus version first because vanilla Rorona was so fucked that it got a full blown remake instead of a simple Plus version. If you want to follow the Plus titles in terms of mechanical refinement then start with Totori but the trilogy proper begins with Rorona.
>>
>>321114605
yes start with rorona. Beat it, get some random ending, go to totori, fail to get the best ending, then move on to meruru, and then beat that, as you play, it will fuel your rage to unmatched proportions to allow you to have another playthrough of Rorona, this time, getting the new ending with Totori and Meruru.

The way those games work is that the protagonist of the prequel is the teacher of the maincharacter from the game you're playing. So if you start with Totori you'll have Rorona as your teacher and they expect you to know the people already that are in those games since they all take place in the same kingdom and they were introduced in rorona.

I currently have the game launched at pretty much the same point (11/29/4). Beat this fucker with Mimi-40/Totori-40/Melvia-38, platine weapons on them all, and dragonscale armor with defense +10, +5, sturdy only on Mimi and Melvia (needed 11 days to copy another dragon scale which is the exact time to get to that boss).
And some bombs, mind water, and heals.
Still wasn't easy.
Unless you have all that or at least some high tier bombs, don't bother.

>>321119938

I began just focusing on equipment at this point, too. I got the Velvetine (the one above the cloth you need the dragon drop for, since i can't beat the dragon either despite having Platine weapons with anti-dragon properties) armor and aformentioned Platine Weapons. I've been using Sterk and Melvia, with all three in the 30's.

What's the best healing items, then? Where do you get the recipes for them? I think I'm using sub-standard ones there as well.

Yes E&L+ is the one I ordered. Its not so much I want all the physical, just I need the limited editions.

I love the series, I just need to get past Rorona+ which is my least liked Arland game. Maybe I should just move on since I already beat the original Rorona, been craving Totori+ badly. And I never started Meruru yet.

Meruru limited edition was $120, Totori limited edition was $30, Rorona limited edition was $40 I think, I got the plus versions during some discount, everything else was retail price.

Yeah, it's not worth it at this price. Wait for a sale. Plus, if you end up not liking it, it'd suck to have bought 3 games at once.
