JRPG maker Gust may be teasing a new Atelier game with this character silhouette [Picture]

SGCafe:

In this week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine, Gust is teasing fans with a silhouette of a female character who’s wearing a miniskirt and holding in her right hand a magical cane; she could very well be the star of the JRPG maker’s next Atelier game.

The tease is a plug for Dengeki Thanksgiving Festival 2013, which will take place once again this year in Akihabara’s Belle Salle event hall (and expanding into the UDX building) on March 17 and 18. All will be revealed at a “Gust presents ‘Atelier 2013′ presentation stage’ on the 17th.

If it means more budget for atelier games, this is awesome.

Here i am hoping if by even a little strand of miracle they would port a localized FATAL FRAME V for the PS4/Xbox, godh how i miss that game.

Not happening it's funded and co-developed by Nintendo.

They own partial rights to all the Fatal Frame games they help fund and publish.

Well, all but Spirit Camera. I think they own the majority, if not all, of the the rights to that game.

You could always pick up a Wii U after localization is announced :D

To be honest Koei Tecmo really needed this, it's time for them to become a bigger factor in japanese gaming because the past years they've been pretty much irrelevant.

Interesting. I wonder how this merger will go.
