Atelier Meruru (PS3)

[Shizuka]

Gust Corporation’s next game in the Arland series of Atelier games has been dated and named in this week’s issue of Dengeki magazine. Atelier Meruru: Alchemist of Arland 3 will launch in Japan on June 23; the standard edition will go for 7,140 yen, while a fancier limited edition will cost 10,290 yen.

The game was announced during Dengeki Game Appreciation Festival in Tokyo, earlier this month. Its title wasn’t revealed during the announcement, only that it’d be the next game in the Arland series. A trademark for the name Atelier Meruru surfaced two days later. The game’s official website is scheduled to launch this Friday.

With more informations on the game, this first post will be updated.

Rorona as the anatagonist?

[Shizuka]

I don't think Rorona has enough ambition to be an antagonist, but that would be interesting indeed.

[Gene]

It would be a good twist

[Quillbell]

Would it kill them to mix up their character designs a bit? She looks like Rorona with longer hair.

[Shizuka]

There was a noticeable difference between Rorona and Totori, and there is one between Totori and Meruru, but there isn't one between Rorona and Meruru. I understand your point, Quill, but judging that we could expect anything, it has been discussed here that she could be Rorona's daughter, but I think that's unlikely.

...not really. She looks completely different.

[Gene]

Rorona lost her soul from an accident and went into cold sleep.
That soul reincarnated into a girl named Meruru

[Shizuka]

Actually, there's a Chibi Rorona in this game.

Actually, there's a Chibi Rorona in this game.

That Rorona or knows as Chibi Rorona is just an apparation of Rorona who lost her soul. She guides Meruru to her demise to take back her soul.

Meruru has a more round face, her hair's a more blondish color, her face is also smaller, her hair is in a different style, and the rest of her body is different. Sorry, but they are actually quite different.

You're absolutely right. Meruru's hair is a slightly different shade of pink. I can't believe I hadn't noticed it before.
