[PS4] Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland (Limited Editions Included) (Koei Tecmo, 03/21/19) – 27,734 (New)

Why in god's name would I ever do that?

Got it on switch and it's very comfy. Seethe more.

something about the new look of Gust games bugs me.

The games sop selling well after they went multiplat. I for one stopped buying them for example. Go back to making exclusives.

I HOPE GUST DIES
ALONGSIDE WITH SONY

It looks like one of those unreal engine demos people do where they put mario or something in a realistic, bloom filled environment. It looks surreal and doesn't blend at all.

The shading and colors probably.

This sold exactly the same as Firis and Lydie & Suelle did. In fact it sold on Switch the same as L&S did on Switch + Vita, so there's a fanbase on it too which would make no sense to exclude.

I guess. The girl in OP is reddish from eyes to ears for no reason.

No, Japs just stopped buying physical games in general lately.

The pricing on Steam is out of this world, what were they thinking?

Still the reigning and undisputed queen of the Ateliers. Should have made a sequel for her instead.

is this cm3d?

Gust costumes in doa6 when?!

Atelier confirmed for Smash when?

This
I was really only still buying them for completions sake, I have several which I haven't even opened. Now they roll out not one, but two LE's? Nah, fuck it, I'll buy a used copy in a couple years for half price if I ever want to play them.

They should abandon the failed franchise that is Atelier and focus on creating a new quality franchise with my waifu Hinako.

Gust and Team Ninja belong to KT. What smash has to do with it?

>Meruru sold 82k first week on ps3
>Lulua only sold half as much on two platforms
Is GUST done for?

I hope so. Annual games with no growth/innovation need to die off.

Evidently not as the franchise hasn't sold Meruru/Sophie numbers for the past half decade yet it's still going. Western sales might have improved, especially now that they're also on Steam.

>Is GUST done for?
Not until they do another EXA_PICO game.

so we can get a better magical girl game

That whole series is dead, and you'll never get ports of AT. Just stop.

He's stuck in mobile hell now. It's time to let it go.

Higher than DOA6 (27k vs 26k on PS4 and Lulua also sold an additional 13k on Switch), clearly KT will close Team Ninja before Gust.

Nights of Azure 2 was even worse than the original, I don't think these devs are capable of improving or learning from their mistakes.

39
Biggest flop in history

Is Lulua any good, though?

Who is the father? Is she a homunculus?

Adopted
Rorona had chemistry with Sterk again, but still 40 years old virgin so yurifags won't be upset
Mimi still not maired despite being noble heir
Generally trash
Even Shallie was better

>Adopted
Please tell me you're kidding.

That's not even their IP

Did you really expected from Gust to have balls for real kid after Meruru and Sophie pointless yuri pandering, really?

27,734 + 12,473 = 40,207

Lydie & Suelle did 37,171 across three platforms.

Meruru 3.0 with Sophie being Meruru 2.0
Nothing good

There's literally no point to her being adopted then. They could've easily made her just a random apprentice without needing to do the father bait like they intended and marketed for a time. This kind of silly shit where they can't put a stamp down on something due to fans makes Japanese games just fucking stupid.

They never marketed game as such, stop being stupid

Neither of those sound like negatives.

>not even Japan is interested in otaku pandering moeshit kusoge anymore.
Hopefully they will start considering making cool stuff again, like they used to in the 80s? I can only hope.

will they ever change up the gameplay?
real time would be nice

What does that mean? You didn't like meruru?

Atelier would be a fun addition to Smash. They get to mix and match materials to throw shit at the enemy while looking all cute and comfy.

"Find out our heroines origin and more" was literally the first thing they threw at people in that PS magazine from Japan. Then you can take their twitter account into consideration about how many fucking times they went over 'Lulua's family' and about 'Where Rorona is spending her time' were all pointed to that. They literally just stuck Sterk to the side of one of those conversation blurbs about her family, and you sure as fuck know it was baiting.

They own Surge Concerto. Bamco owns Ar Tornelico.

Doesn't look like Bamco is against letting them use at least some part of it, considering they allowed Shurelia in Ar Nosurge.

KT should just do the right thing and sell/spin off Gust. Gust needs a parent company that will make them get shit done.

So... is this it? Is this the end for the Atelier games ?

It would be if Atelier games aren't made with a shoestring budget. They probably made a profit from this 40k sales alone.

And here i was hoping for a Mana Kheimia port on PC.

Just emulate it.

Don't the Neptunia games profit from 20-30k sales?

There's a reason why they keep making these games despite the lowish sales numbers. They somehow make a profit.

Not sure how Brave Nep did, but I imagine the Western numbers will save it. I just hope the big project they're working on is actually some decent in terms of moving the series, but I think it as a whole is in a state of permanent stagnation.

They should learn not to make a new game in the series every year.
That will kill the franchies from people getting tired or it.

>Not sure how Brave Nep did
Abysmal

Rorona and Sterk were a pair who broke up, lulua just not related to either of them

Was it not good? I've been looking forward to it.

Still doesn't matter since the West will save that title too, but man that game looked like garbage when I saw a few people stream it.
I implore you to watch some longplays of it.

>nep trash will be the indivisible killer I swear
HUE deserved.

Jesus. Why didn't they include animations? This looks less fun than PP and PP was trash.

It's KT we're talking about here.

PP is only acceptable if you think of it as a short Nep dating sim and that's all. It is a complete and utter failure as an idol raising game totally.

Apparently nu-gust atelier sales always around 30 to 40k. Why no one interested to research more about this people? It must be interesting to understand how their brain work to keep buying trash like this every year.

Yeah, I went in hoping for an idol game and was left with an awful taste in my mouth. It felt like an idol minigame that would be tacked on in another game.

Like you said, taken as a cute, short VN with idol bits, it's okay, but it's a disgrace of an idol game.

It's a complete filler game, but there were some cute moments in it. Weird it never got ported, maybe due to the music/waste of resources and such, but at least people quickly found out what it was really like.

With all the little drama cd bits they've released and the phone app, I'm really shocked they never did a full nep dating game yet. Seems like those cds still go for a decent price and do get quite a few views on YT, but it's always treading dangerous waters with that kind of thing. Though I think the Nep series is more popular in the West than East.

>They like what I don't so they're brains are fucked.
There is nothing trash about them.

Brave Nep was bad? Damn son. It looked so good.

>Brave Nep was bad? Damn son. It looked so good.
Like I said, I really implore ANYONE interested in the game to watch long format videos with gameplay and so on in it. I'm not going to put opinions in other's heads, so I really wish people would watch the content of the game and get an idea of how poor an idea of them outsourcing the Nep license to a canadian mobile game company was.

But people stopped and this is why they tried to bait people with arland
Neptunia fans whom Gust pandered with Meruru and Sophie isn't enough to keep series alive

>Sophie being Meruru 2.0
This triggers me and I don't know why.

Well watching videos of turn based games is boring as hell no matter how well made or poorly made the battle system is. So I'd rather hear actual opinions.

You don't know what you're talking about senpai.

Gust seriously went autistic with yuri garbage.
They should make Mana Khemia 3.

It's not hard to kill something that's never coming out

The problem with all the pandering is that they don't even go all the way with it ever. If you're gonna do that shit, just make your character fucking gay, or make them take a meat stick up their puss instead of half-assed bullshit.

I wish they'd stop pandering to lolifags.
Those angles in Blue Reflection made that game unplayable for me.

It's not "yuri" pandering. It's "purityfag" pandering. Which is to be expected for a waifu centric fanbase.

That game was ungodly boring and lolis were not the problem. Plus, GUST doesn't pander to lolifags at all.

I wish they did.

Lulua's childhood friend is actually gay for Lulua, but the latter doesn't think she's serious.

Atelier IP is doing just fine

Attached: Koei Tecmo Annual Report.png (1166x820, 1.44M)

>sell 40k
Lmao OP why lie

Which games are yuri?

Fine, skfags then.

I'm not much of a fan of lolis but BR's girls weren't lolis.

Stop trying to ruin OP agenda, haven't you got the memo?

If one of their main marketing strategies is making you wonder who's Lulua's father then that's a really shitty atempt at yuri pandering

Actually none of them really, OP is just an obsessed faggot who want male and fat selfinsert in everything.

None of them, actually.

What's sk? Senran Kagura?

How long can GUST really go on like this?
I get that they make games dirt cheap by reusing assets, but it really can't be good for them when they haven't had a hit in years.

Like I said, skfags if you want to be pedantic.
Bottom line is, those girls looked way too young for my tastes.
Its short for a Japanese term that I don't want to butcher, basically means middle schooler body type

How it is?

Rorona didn't had problems with male endings on her game
Totori got nice male pairs too
Since meruru? Only girl x girl is allowed, neptunia fags are cancer

This is the gayest shit i have ever seen

The Sterk ending was the one that made the most sense for her, given her personality. And man, they were cute together too in that game, and it'll always be my canon ending.

she also always got 1st place in the last several characters popularity poll

>male endings
They still weren't romantic in nature. It was never explicit so the waifufags were still pandered to.

>middle schooler body type
That's just a standard asian body. Sure there are plenty of thicc and well filled out girls but majority of them are deliciously petite.

MK1 & 2 were magical.

It's so bad Logy can't even fuck Escha.

They've been doing this for multiple decades now.

Is Atelier the NBA2k of Japan?

I stopped playing after meruru. They clearly wanted the yuri audience only so I took my money elsewhere

PS2 Era Gust was pretty much the last time that Gust was really willing to take risks while almost everything they do now almost follows a checklist.

Escha and Logy came like right after

It's why I stopped caring. It really became clear that they can't even do endings/ pairings that make sense and had to keep characters safe from everyone. Yuri and het shit, they couldn't do proper pairings for either due to how indecisive fans are when it comes to this. But really why care if they can't put their foot down with an ending and they just make their characters walk really no path and just grow older?

How does Nep compare to this?
Is there less yurishit

Yeah I saw that but it was really cringe, there was 0 romance between them due to the yurifags

Modern Gust games are hilarious, it's like everyone is sterlie and people just pop up from heavens or something.

Why do japan like her? she's so bland

How is gust even still alive?

There's yuri in this one? That's a surprise.

It's yuri bait like the rest of the series

It's not even yuri, they can't even commit to that shit.

>Since meruru? Only girl x girl is allowed
Holy shit are /pol/flakes the most easily triggered dumb faggots on this board. There is no girl x girl in Atelier. It's not yuri and never has been, you're just reading shit into it that doesn't exist at all because you project your MUH SJW bullshit onto literally everything.

Earlier user is right, it's purity/projectionfags this shit is aimed at. Yurifags these days want to actually see girls together not just """"subtext"""" bait that never amounts to anything and promotes endless drama. The people who like this stuff are purityfags. Which doesn't exist much in the rest of the world but is big amongst otakus.

There was romance between them and yurifags have nothing to do with the actual games. They just ship characters in their own delusional heads.

I burned out on gust shit after buying a new atelier game from them ever year for 5 years.

Gio ending was pure kino
Shame neptunia fags ruined series

STOP releasing a new game every year. Who the fuck buys all of them at full price any more?

I know who you are, back to Xenoshit 2 you fucking faggot.

KT are retarded

Cute, light hearted, obsessed about alchemy, loyal to her friend
exactly the core/root formula of Atelier franchise, Dusk trilogy trying too hard to be edgy, but it just doesn't work

They don't all have to be paired up, but for fuck's sake, at least pair the two in the god damned title.

Attached: 6546.jpg (1400x1000, 1.73M)

That's a gross overstatement, BR had as many good qualities as bad ones. It's just sort of mediocre and a bit of difficulty tweaking alone would do it a world of good.

Honestly even Neps are going to be clearly better games at some point
Compile is actually trying unlike Gust

The current Atelier series is probably the most "nothing is happening" games ever created.

There is NOTHING in these games.
No plot.
No conclusions.
No romance.
No tension.
No goals.

It's just void of turn based combat system and sterile cute girls and asexual boys.

Wants to get shitfaced and blow up her hometown, what's not to like?

Sounds like the good old atelier series, exactly what atelier fans wanted

Gust is retarded. I hope there are at least some decent interactions between the two in Nelke.

FUCKING THIS. It's disgusting to see people point at "yurifags" or whatever when there isn't even any yuri, at least that'd be SOMETHING. It excuses the true, total soullessness of modern Atelier. Nobody does anything. Nobody has any romance, at all male or female. Nobody has some overarching plot. Nobody has real tension. They ride the old engine and some cute designs but it doesn't take long to realize the game at its core is pic related.

Rebirth 1, 2, 3 and VII are decent games

No one ever develops in Atelier, so yes.

Of course they will
Meruru/neptunia cancer will riot otherwise

You'd think there'd have been some sort of development on that front by now. That's kind of depressing.

See

Christ I don't give a fuck about whether it's yuri or not, tell if it's fun to play if I never played any Atelier games before?

>tell if it's fun to play
they are

No, only arland trilogy was fun. This has boring alchemy system, boring characters and boring story

>tell if it's fun to play
>Neptunia style atelier like meruru
No

Anything pre PS3 Gust is safe to play, literally anything.
Anything PS3 onward is shit.

I haven't play this yet, but most atelier series are fun to play
You can start with rorona plus, it's also on steam
or you can start with Sophie if you want to play on ps4, it's also my favorite atelier

No shit, from put soul into Sekiro
Gust and Mel Kishida just wanted to pander neptunia cancer once again

see
but it should be (...) Shallie > dogshit > Sophie

>There was romance between them
No, not really. No kissing or clear confessions. And it also doesn't go anywhere in the sequels. It's still just platonic and subtext at best. In the "delusional headcanon" territory.

Not that user and I'm not blaming the yurifags either. Just saying that Gust doesn't really do romances.

Rorona and Ayesha are best
Totori is good, but neptunia cancer already started poisoning game
Others not worth even touching

I played lydie and suelle and had fun with it being almost like a daughter sim. Will I enjoy this one?

Sophie was universally regarded as the best game in the series, Meruru was also great

>Giving a shit whether or not its /u/trash or not
Id rather them fix it so the gameplay and alchemy would stop being worse and worse.

Let me guess they are still too lazy to go back to the ps2 era of having a cutscene for each new item you synthesize?

Didnt ayesha try to do something different but japs complained it was too depressing

Play Mana Khemia instead, if you have to play Atelier play Rorona Plus only.

>Sophie was universally regarded as the best game in the series
By that mentally ill guy on Yea Forums, yeah, I remember that.

Its nothing to do with yuri or any fags. Its just Japanese console market has been shrinking, and games do not sell well anymore, except for nintendo games that are made for kids, and only a few super major title, such as DQ, FF, MH. I would say it is really "average" expected numbers for a title, Atelier. Japanese market is dying, bro.

>Sophie
>best game
This faggot is lying.

Atelier Iris 2 being completely honest

They complained that it was too bland, bland character, bland design, bland color palette, bland world

Though it's kinda fitting, the stories was about dying world afterall, if the world was vibrant it just doen't fit

No
Meruru/Neptunia fags complained about time limits being too harsh compared to totori and meruru
That's all

Japan literally had a poll for this

See

nice one, faggot.

they had a character popularity poll. I want to fuck Sophie too, but it doesn't mean that I like her game

Who knows, I think he's just want me to go and post in another neptunia style game or something

I didn't know that. Just shows what trash humanity is

Isn't this good by Gust standards?

ds games were though

kneejerk reaction to try pander to opposite fanbase
it was far too late at that point

>It must be interesting to understand how their brain work to keep buying trash like this every year.
Nobody knows how the mind of mentally ill yurifags works

I want to play it already.

I don't think a sequel with the same cast would even make that much sense.

Meruru had yuri pandering though.

They won't, Neptunia and Meruru showed that there always desperate yurishitters who buy any garbage, and they are main Gust audience now

they can always find a way if they really wanted.
that obviously would ruin the end of the first game, but they don't care as long as it brings money.

It panders hard to purityfags and waifufags so there's plenty of breeding ground for yurifags.
The shitty male endings also promotes their interest and removal of male characters.
This one even has dual gay moms bullshit, fucking garbage. Purityfag waifushitters are fine with yuri because they can still envision their waifu straight for themselves, while they never interact with males to make them feel threatened, which they hate. This also creates more safe space for t/u/mblr yurifags as Gust doubles down on gay pandering to try get the waifufag and yurifag demographics, which are both purityfags.

It's one to thing to not like her, but I'm not sure how you can describe her as bland. She outright calls Oskar a fatass, and appears in Firis by blowing up a giant door with zero regard for human life. She's a well-intentioned lunatic.

How the fuck did it get an anime

For insecure incels it definitely is.

What I said is facts

You're the one sounding like an embarrassing falslefagger desu.

Gust is spineless and wants to pander to everyone for money, but not offend anyone too by making no clearcut ending or romance.
Pathetic company that should end up with nothing for taking no risks.

Imagine how good series could be, if Meruru/Neptunia fans didn't complained about timelimits and demanced to cancel them

Based, fuck the yurishits and purityfats
They ruined this franchise

yurifags do hoping for yuri
but get let down every time
but never learn their lesson

It's not just Guts to be fair. This is pretty common for a lot of Japanese media. Not just games.

Not that I'm a nepfag, I hate them and their ilk on steam
But the anime was fun

>The games sop selling well after they went multiplat
The games stopped selling because they were bad. As much as Sophiefags deny it, I wonder why sales plummeted so hard for every post-Sophie game.

>Arlandfag

Disregard his opinion. Watch some gameplay and ask yourself if you'd like to play a breezy game about alchemy.

People don't actually play Atelier for romance, do they?

>Anti-Sophie posters

They'll never stop being mad about Sophie being a big success, will they?

some yurifags eat it up and are inherently part of the problems as yurifags are purityfags by default
I hate Gust more than anything but it's true, if yurifags never were pandered to they might've given up on waifufags and maaaaaybe tried an actual romance
But they thought they could pander to waifufags and yurifags at once, and this is what we end up with: literally nothing

I play it for the comfiness

People don't play atelier for meruru/neptunia style character interactions and dynamic, that's for sure and sales prove it

Why do people keep bringing Nep up as if it has any relation to Atelier? People can enjoy both series.

>sales prove it
But not really

How butthurt would people be if Atelier did the impossible and got a spot in Smash, and Sophie is the chosen rep?

>needs to be on 4 consoles plus English Asian release too

Wait what? Sterk x Rorona were comfy, I would have bought two copies if Sterk and Rorona fucked

no it's about gust trying to pandering to everyone, but end up pandering to nobody instead because the game has nothing for anyone, it's too safe

Can't have that, this is a yuri series

>Nice, but Sophie was still the best selling Atelier series ever
Title belongs to Elie though
Since Meruru Gust desperately trying to pander and get neptunia fanbase, because meruru fucks complained about time limits, they were slowly removed, because they felt threatened by male characters, they were forced into obscurity
It's just sad to see how much they ruined series

Really? I fucking hate Sophie the game, but Sophie the character was the only good part of it.

Such pandering to neptunia/meruru fags was really painful

I always figured that was the main appeal.

Samefag

Such as? Name an anime, ln/vn, manga or whatever which is as bad at pandering to nobody by attempting to please everyone? While "bait" type shows exist, they at least have their own demographic who doesn't watch them for anything more than comfort. Gust shit has a story which begs for something satisfying plotwise and nothing ever happens.
it would be a different story if it was just some shitty sol to begin with that's inoffensive to everyone

Shipfaggotry is unironically worse than yurifaggotry.

this was back then when digital sales & steam, was pretty much nonexistent, GUST already survived this, there's no reason they can't survive for another 20 years

Gust was bought by Koei Tecmo and merged into it because they couldn't survive. Now it's just a semi-autonomous game studio inside Koei Tecmo.

cgdct =/= yuri
Shihori is just an airhead.

Remember when Gust actually put soul in their games?

man these games somehow just keep getting uglier and uglier. Just look at that Ayy Lmao looking character model for god's sake.

you just know

>proceeds to release the game with shitty eng dub only

>ayesha
>soul
lol, it doesn't even feels like atelier series

>Atelier series
>Crafting
>Exploring
>Having many endings with really different conditions
>Time limits
Sounds like typical atelier game, unlike meruru and sophie neptunia style ones

Oskar, my fuckin MAN, what a chad

these series sucks. Alchemy system is always annoying eventually in every game. It doesn't help japans taste is shit. The male protaganist ps2 games had way better stories and gameplay.

>muh time limits
>bringing up Nep

Begone, shitter

>has actual story
>great lore
>music
>10/10 MC
>world to explore
>time limits
How about you fuck off back to shitsterious trilogy?

Maybe the super detailed character models but barebones world itself. The world looks like straight out of a PS2 game (I hate this meme usually, but this time it's true). Also the animations. They look worse than the ones from Falcom.

>Adopted
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

what's wrong bro?

I want Lydie to crush me to death with her muscles

I started with Totori and bought Meruru for even more gay girls and only stopped at E&L because het and took my money elsewhere.

Did it sell more than Nelke?

What the fuck? Why is an atelier thread alive?

What is this? MMD?

Play Totori and Ayesha for the plot. Play Meruru for the gameplay / Kingdom building. The other ones were less engaging for me.

Whoa this looks super high quality. I don't remember Sophie's game looking like this though.

No, lol

>didn't sell more than Nelke
>Nelke literally has no discussion whatsoever
Are people just too busy enjoying the game?

My brother, I want to believe.

Nelke is overpriced as fuck, so no one cares
Lulua got as much hate as Sophie in japan

Is Nelke even a good game? I dont care about sales but i fear Nelke might be a C tier side project some intern did in his spare time while they were busy with the Mainline game. The reviews i read were very meh at best.

I keep seeing everyone say Nelke is overpriced. Why is that? Just because it's not a mainline game? I don't get it.

That's Ayesha.

its a cellphone game sold for $60

>it's a town building game so it's a cellphone
You guys disgust me. You must be an Arlandfag.

What's cellphone about it? Looks like a city builder game.

Not him, but so far the town building has even less depth than MLAK, though I'm only a couple of hours in. Simplicity isn't a bad thing, but not everyone is going to be on board with a $60 barebones city builder, especially when Anno 1800 is out in less than a month.

It's Musou Stars.

>Was it not good?

It's a Neptunia game

you forgot best male party menber in all of Atelier

>Lulua got as much hate as Sophie in japan
No need to lie

I like Meruru and Shallie.

Time limit fags are insufferable

Combat sequences remind me of gacha. You got those characters just walking from one side to other and sometimes you click attack. They even added auto battle cause that's how braindead it is.
