Atelier Elkrone ~Dear for Otomate~ (PSP)

[machinemaiden]

I'm putting in my 2 cents now for this so it can get support now for this otome Atelier game and start to grow and blossom!
It has been confirmed for the PSP and will be a text adventure, but with item collection and alchemy elements.

Official name: エルクローネのアトリエ Dear for OTOMATE
The official site is here: http://www.otomate.jp/elkrone/

isn't 1 topic enough..?

Yes, but since this one is the one that was posted in the official Requests Forum it's the one I'll be bumping from now on.

+1 support.

when was this announced?!

it sounds really interesting. the Arland games feel kind of Otome-ish anyway, might as well take it all the way. i'd definitely like to give this a try.

Indeed. It also looks like they're keeping the gorgeous artstyle of the Arland games, which is definitely a plus.

Indeed, the one I made in the Atelier is more of a discussion one. This one is my official request in hopes of support and others to spread word to show their support to!

And thanks for the response guys! ^-^

when was this announced?!

On the 17th. I just happened to stumble upon it when I went to the otomate webpage. imagine my shock, suprize, squee and then total WANT.

PC+PSP? Oh well, let's hope another company still cares about the PSP.

[Rarutos]

Th-This is... Whaaaaaat. I-I never thought I'd see something like this from GUST...

BUT DO WANT.

Wait, where does it say PC+PSP? o.O

NIS America seems to care about PSP games. Well... some... If this is a PSP or heck any system they better!

As far as I can tell that's a different game. The info for Atelier Elkrone ends at the picture, because 「うたのプリンスさまっ Debut」 is a whole different game.

[Shizuka]

Then I assumed wrong.

[machinemaiden]

Ya from all the info I've been digging up (yes, I'm going crazy for this game!) the system has yet to be announced for it. The verdict seems to be either PSP or PS3 though for sure.

Kinda hoping PS3 because I feel it would have more of a chance to be localized but then again I could be wrong.

[miruki]

Or maybe it's gonna be for the PS Vita? ;>

My guess would be PS3 tho, the PSP is already flooded with otome games (in Japan) and an otome / RPG crossover game would probably a good choice for a release on the PS3 to get some otome gamers behind the console and to get some of the Atelier series fans interested in it too.

I truly do hope NISA will have some interest in the game, I'd love to see this localised. But first I'd actually like to see more info on this.

Or maybe it's gonna be for the PS Vita? ;>

Nooooo! God no! I just bought the 3DS for Harvest Moon and I'm broke! I can swing a PSP if this is for it and gets localized (along with Growlanser) but not the Vita!!

And ya, I'm hoping PS3 as well cause an otome/RPG crossover like you said would be AWESOME! It could appeal to a greater audience as well. For now though aside from that art there's no other info it seems. If anyone can post more I'd be more the happy to update the first post and the official request one!
