Atelier Elkrone ~Dear for Otomate~ (PSP)

[vampko]

I am pretty sure it will be a handheld game, but it has a possibility of being on a console. It just seems like a handheld sort of game. Maybe 3DS?

....that 3DS does not deserve an awesome title like this at all ...*MURDERED*

I dunno.. I'm not exactly looking forward to a reverse harem game.

I would love to play this game; it would be lovely to play as my own gender, for once! Hopefully NISA decides to bring it stateside! Though before I say that, I suppose it would be nice to have more information... =)

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!!

If it's for a Playstation handheld you can bet your butt it'll be for the Vita unless it's coming out in the next three months. Sony wants everyone all-in for the Vita, and by all reports everyone's been happy to oblige.

Anyway, dunno what to think about this. It's not for me, that's for certain.

Umm...the entire Atelier series has you playing as a female, except the Iris and Al Revis games. This includes the recent Atlelier Rorona, and soon to be localized Atelier Totori.

so is this really an atelier or some cross over?

It's really an Atelier game, the only difference is that the romance is official in this one. Hence the otomate in the title.

I really hope it's for Vita. That'll probably mean it'll have the best chance of being localized. Sony wants a lot of Vita games as soon as possible.

If it's for PSP you might as well forget it.

The more I look at the images, the more I realize why the art is not as amazing as what we see on Meruru/Totori/Etc...this is definitely IF art. I can't see this as being from Kishida Mel most indefinitely, and it reminds me a lot of other IF games.

[stealth20k]

seems to be either a 3ds or psp game.

I'm still surprised people are thinking this is the next set of Atelier games

Course, on this board the people seem to realize this, but all over other sites...>.>

Whoops, I guess I should have clarified that a bit- I meant bishoujo games that are available in English that aren't terribly hard to find, heh. I'm also catching up on the Atelier series, so I haven't had a chance to play as a female in many of them!

In my opinion, from the moment I laid my eyes on this, I figured it was just another Idea Factory Visual Novel, but with Atelier label on it. Idea Factory releases at least 5 totally unattractive VNs per year and that doesn't make any difference, maybe that's why they went after Gust and their established franchise.

Well to me, the art looks just like Idea Factory's other otome games like Hakuoki Junsouroku and Hiiro no Kakera Aizouban ~Akaneioro no Tsuioku~ which were both released on PS3.
