Atelier Ayesha

Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk

Sharing this to the Atelier fans, Ayesha will be heading to NA on March 5th.

Atelier Ayesha will actually be published by Tecmo Koei, not NISA. Also, the game will not have Dual audio. So only english voices.

I am honestly disappointed with only english. The other Atelier games I played were the Arland series and they had dual audio, so why stop now. I never played the PS2 ones. Also, I just like Japanese voices better. Of course, this is only my opinion. Others may like english better.
Also, I dont think a limited edition will be made.

I'm really, really, disappointed in Tecmo Koei for the way they're handling this game. No limited edition, no dual-audio, and to top it off they're releasing it in March which is basically a death sentence for a niche series like this.

It feels like they're releasing it with the least amount of effort and letting NISA take the hit. Unless it's way better then Totori or Meruru I won't buy it.

I'm really disappointed with the lack of dual audio. I just read through a bunch of forums/comment sections that were arguing over the whole thing. I'm not gonna buy the U.S release but I will import the Japanese one. I need to start learning Japanese though. I sort of know katakana and hiragana but kanji is gonna be rough.

I might get it when its really cheap... I guess....

Thats good for you. I know nothing, and since its Atelier, lots of text, descriptions and stuff. They also got a limited edition.

So, um, this game was released today. Is anybody else still incredibly infuriated about the way TK America and TK Europe handled this? I won't be buying it unless they give us a Japanese audio dlc patch.

Me, me.
I will just wait for a price drop. Their was no reason to pre-order. No LE. Just a standard game. Very upsetting

I am just hoping I can still find a copy when a price drop happens.
Considering how very little advertising they did for this... really hope this doesn't become a game you can't find anywhere in a few months time.

I think you can get get this game on PSN if you cant find a physical copy. But I dont think PSN have price drops. I'm not sure.

Personally I would like to have a hard copy of the game.

I prefer owning physical copies as well. I just hope they gives us that dlc option I keep mentioning. They gave Dynasty Warriors 7 a Japanese dlc option so they might give this game one as well.... hopefully... probably not.

Also, Ebay will probably have plenty of copies to sell so I'm not too worried about it being unobtainable.

dl psp something of this. Meh.

Atelier Ayesha is for the the PS3. I'm not sure what you played. There's vita ports of Totori and Meruru but both of them are still in Japan only.

Ahh I didn't realize Totori was on psp as well. I'm assuming you know Japanese then?

Somewhat. Kanji is a bitch. I just play with a memorize glare of a mexican reading Sanskrit.

Everybody who's upset with TKs treatment of the Atelier series should go take this survey. Tell them you want JPN audio DLC for Ayesha and a physical release of Totori Plus. Yeah, that game is out btw. They just randomly released it out of nowhere and it's digital-download only.

and almost a year later, I finally get the game and beat it.
I was able to find a copy and at a low price so I figured I'd get to it. There were times my ears wished I could have the JPN track, and other times I was okay with the dub track. Overall I enjoyed the game and had fun.
