Personally i'm getting the vita version but it's neat to see more people getting to play good games.
Also, do you prefer the new art style or old art style?
>>323380028
Old art style. New is some generic moe horseshit.
>>323380028
>NISA
into the trash it goes.
>>323380686
NISA is actually decent when they're translating something from companies like Experience
>>323380028
So this is some fantasy style game but shes wearing a modern achool girl uniform under the armor?
Why?
I can't waifu ugly girls. So no purchase.
>>323380784
I'll take your word for it and pirate it to give it a chance. They're still not getting a single cent of mine.
>>323380028
Riu is the only character I feel is improved - or made less shit - with the new art style.
>>323380814
Because Japs are retarded and weebs eat this garbage up.
>>323380814
She came crashing into said fantasy setting on an airliner.
>>323380814
Normal people on a plane which crashed find themselves in a D&D-like universe.
>NISA
No.
>>323380028
Can you show an honest comparison?
>>323383268
This, I have no idea what the difference is.
>>323383268
>>323383493
I'm still looking for ingame screenshot comparisons. I saw one earlier, but I can't find it now.
I'm sure that they'll enjoy the new art style since Steam is the new home of weebshit.
So is there an image that contains all available character portraits for this game?
>>323383727
I like the one on the left WAY more, if this is what you're comparing.
>>323383727
>>323383827
So what prompted this exactly? Is this a re-release long time coming? Sounds a bit of a dramatic turn in the art department if you ask me. Nonetheless since I never got to see any of this I'm sure I'll enjoy the new stuff just fine (rather it looks better judging from that single picture)
>>323380028
Definitely the older art style, since I'm getting sick of moe and super cute character designs in most vita DRPGs. That being said, while I am getting this on Vita, I hope a PC release on Steam paves the way for more Experience games on PC in the west.
Is anyone here going to try and brave NISA's god awful website and preorder what's left of the LE? That artbook and soundtrack look mighty nice, but not $8 shipping nice.
>>323384153
Rerelease, both art styles are included and you can switch between them at will.
Wasn't this a PC game that got ported to the vita anyway?
>>323384173
I braved their shitty website for the LE of Escha+.
I don't plan on using it again unless there's another Atelier LE.
>>323384510
I thought it was a 360 game or something. It's also on the xbone in japan and will be releasing on the xbone in the west as well
>>323384153
I think they are adding in the new art style as a way to drive in more of an otaku audience (like a lot of their games have), without alienating the original audience at the same time. They may also have anticipated an international release at the same time, so who knows.
>>323384510
Its also coming to the Xbone
>>323383727
pls tell me the left is the new one
If the jap PC version is the one getting on Steam, don't bother getting it. It lacks the new dungeons, items, leaderboards and the new art (if you wanted to try the new ones)
>>323384702
Left one is the old one, but the game will allow you to swap between character design styles if I'm correct.
Does the western release have both artstyles?
>>323384991
yeah they're interchangeable
>>323380028
>headline game has been rated
>don't say what the game has been rated
>>323383827
Are there really people who prefer this to
>>323383947
The older one looks so much nicer, and I'm saying that as a weaboo.
Okay so what the fuck is the gameplay like other than generic first person static image dungeon crawling?
>>323386495
Basically. This one supposedly is incredibly difficult and has permadeath mechanics or something.
Another game from the Steamdb leak.
