Upcoming Niche Japanese Games

[soera]

Also I just pre-ordered my NISA LE. I love NISA releases.

I liked my version better. .__. But don't worry, you're still sexy.

So, how and when did N1 get Atelier back from KT?

If memory serves...

I think KT still does the localization and marketing for the Atelier series. N1 is just in charge of providing a special edition.

I know that sounds weird, but that's my understanding. Maybe someone with access to gaming news sites can verify. @_@

That does seem like an odd arrangement.  Like kash said, if anyone can explain this and/or provide more information on it, I'd be curious to hear about it too.

This is indeed correct. NISA has done this a few times now for games they haven't localized, including Atelier Escha and Logy Plus.

Did they do this for Shallie? That's one CE that I regret not purchasing.

They did. They've done this for quite a few of KT's localizations now actually. I regret not getting Ar nosurge Plus.

Is that the one for the Vita?

Yep, that's the Vita version. Unfortunately that limited edition from NISA is the only way to get a physical copy of the game. That's the reason I ended up buying Atelier Escha and Logy Plus even though I haven't played any of the others in the series.

Star Ocean comes West this summer!   Will enjoy making that update to the main list tomorrow.

English story trailer (game will have both English & Japanese audio):

I am really stoked about this. I was thinking that I would have to wait until winter to play it. Now I'm wondering if there will be a collector's edition. No matter, day one purchase and day one play.

Yaay. Now I'm even more excited!

List updated!

Y'know, I keep saying I'm going to get into one of the Atelier games one of these days, but they always seem to release at the same time as other RPGs I have a higher interest in - this time, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Grand Kingdom. But heck, this entire year is a JRPG fan's paradise or nightmare, depending on your perspective. I'd say my top 5 anticipated right now are:

1) Final Fantasy XV
2) Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness
3) Persona 5
4) I Am Setsuana
5) Tales of Berseria

Tales would be higher if I had actually played Zesteria yet!
