Info regarding Atelier Meruru Standard/Limited Editions

[Houk]

Hey folks,

It seems some people have questions about the different versions of Atelier Meruru that are available for preorder right now. So let me lay it out.

Standard Edition: This will come packaged in a standard game case along with the Atelier Meruru art book, and will be available from the NISA Online Store as well as all our normal retailers (GameStop, Amazon, etc.) (Preorder page here.)

Limited Edition: This will come packaged in a bigger Limited Edition box, and will include the standard game case and the art book as well as the original soundtrack and "Barrel!" T-shirt. This Limited Edition is available ONLY from the NISA Online Store. (Preorder page here.)

Hopefully that should clear up any confusion. If you have any other questions, fire away.

I don't personally care about Limited Edition only been Available ad NISA, since I decide to only buy NISA games directly from NISA Store (If Possible), but know a few that don't gonna like this.

Think of it as NISA giving back a little after cutting distribution costs

i assume the standard edition with the artbook will be just for the first print run and then after it will be just the game then correct?

That I don't know. I'll have to look into it.

[vertical09]

Is there a reason you guys put the artbook to be included with standard copies of the game?
Not that im complaining or anything, it just seems like it'll cost more money in the long run.

Good I get an artbook, I have no use for a shirt that won't fit me and could care less about a soundtrack cd that I'll never listen to.

So.... is this what it's come to? No more bugging the gamestop employee to see if the game has enter the database, This working designs approach to preorders now? This is so very sad. I put 80$ down on my preorder at gamestop but lo and behold i was disappointed at what I got.

Now, I have to go on ebay and pay 120$ for it cause it was only told to a bunch of super secret club fans.

Nice guys.. I love you too.

Errrm... what?
If you're trying to say you tried to pre-order a limited edition that never was going to be released outside of the NISA at Gamestop and were disappointed when it didn't exist, I'm confused, as it clearly didn't exist.
Although, if you're enough of a fan of the series to even know what the Atelier series is, let alone know when the games are coming out, you probably know NISA have their own store.
