It looks okay.

the only thing shocking is Gust stopped milking the Iris series

[squid]

Weren't there a bunch of other Atlier games before Iris that never made it stateside?

Gust makes a ds RPG.

This is their second DS installment of the Atelier series, you make it sound like it's there first. I played through the first Iris game, and thought it was all right, but I wasn't a big enough fan to bother with the rest of them. If this comes to the US, I'll keep an eye on it.

Atelier.... Annie? Sounds awful. The Gust logo ensures that it will be.

Dec 07 NPD:
Atelier Iris 1 - 62k
Atelier Iris 2 - 38k
Atelier Iris 3 - 19k
Ar Tonelico - 23k

Heavy series attrition. I guess Atlus/NIS will localize it if someone decides <20k is worth it.

It just goes to show they can't let parts of the trilogy go out of print before the last game gets released. Or else you'll be limiting sales of any future titles to those who bought and liked the previous parts.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

1 and 2 were fun, if completely unoriginal. Despite what Rei no Otaku says, Ar Tonelico sucked, and I stayed away from 3 because of the weird changes. I still thought they would have sold a little more than these pitiful numbers though.

Oh, so there was already one....... why didn't anyone inform me about this until now.

Those lying bastards, they said it would only be limited to 5000 copies. I should've known better!

[Draekon]

Figured I'd bump this as NIS officially announced that they're localizing this. Granted it was partially know a couple months back through an interview that they were localizing it.
