Atelier Elkrone ~Dear for Otomate~ (PSP)

[machinemaiden]

On the second link you posted, near the end of the article.

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.

Then I assumed wrong.

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.

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.

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!

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... =)

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.

[Quillbell]

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.
