Kotaku - Last month, the Japanese publisher Tecmo Koei released the Vita version of Japanese role-playing game Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland. They told nobody that it was out.
"Gust's Atelier series offers plenty of lighthearted fun so let's see whether Totori or Meruru has the more worthwhile adventure." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Rorona is, and always will be my favorite. She's just too adorable.
Her game was great, but others have been better. I just like the character the most. One thing they got right in her game though was the pacing of the time aspect. Gave plenty of time without wasting too much here or there like all the other games seemed to do.
I enjoyed the story for Totori more but had more fun overall with Meruru. Love them both though.
I prefer Totori I was a bit boring and the only one that didn't hook me out of the 3 Plus versions I played though Totori was really rough on new players unlike Meruru

The games with it are Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland, and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, which have all appeared on PlayStation 3, as well as the PlayStation Vita. It’s quite an ongoing franchise with Atelier Rorona is the 11th game in the series and there are more plenty more to come.
It's probably my favourite 3 (well didn't like meruru much) But the price is trash. Should have been normal retail price for all 3 imo.
I haven't played the Atelier series for quite a while now. Last game I finished was Iris 3, although I didn't really liked it. I love the first one, Eternal Mana. I think I finished Atelier Iris 1 at least three times. I bought Atelier Sophie and played less than 10 hours before I dropped it. Would love to see another game with the Iris level of story telling.
A rating on Australia’s Classification Board lists Tecmo Koei as the publisher and the game’s English title.
Yeah but the Atelier series of games are more light hearted compared to other jrpg's, they're still good though IMO at least, and actually offer more challenge than you think if you're looking for it.
What? You mean... I can play this! Faster vita go on psn! Download!
TBH i did not know it was on PSN..
it's the first i've heard of a vita version :0

Really?
It sounds counter-intuitive but in a way it kind of makes sense.
Instead of all the hype and teasing and build-up from months of marketing, some dude just happens across the game on psn and is hugely surprised and excited. Then, it gets spread like wildfire and you have concentrated excitement all over the internet. It's almost like they didn't even have to wait for the game, because they weren't even aware it existed until they saw it for sale on psn. I'd imagine that's pretty exciting for fans. Risky, but I could see how it might work.
I've owned this on my Vita for awhile. =) A very good Vita adaption, very sharp and crisp gameplay...
I've always said that advertising was overrated. Good games will sell through word of mouth, and always have.
