[Pimpalicious]

I wouldn't play this but I know a couple people I could buy this for as gifts.

Hi, I've been reading this thread for a while but it's my first time posting. Ah actually, I just made an ID so I could join in. I'm a big fan of Gust series that had published by NISA such as Atelier Iris series, Mana Khemia, and Ar Tonelico.

As for this game, Atelier Elkrone (you could find the newest detailed storyline in http://koiiro.wordpress.com/category/ot ... r-otomate/ ), I found it very interesting because this type of game (otome game) is rarely published in English (so the market competititon is not hard, right?). The first official English otome game in PSP is Hakuouki, which received positive reviews from English market. That means there's so many otome game fans out there who's longing for more english otome games.

The link I provided above is a website dedicated for otome games, too. You could see that passion for this kind of game is fiery enough. I personally think that Elkrone has a chance to be more success than Hakuouki since Elkrone use English names, and pretty medieval western setting which is more familiar to English gamers.

It's also a good chance to reach the girl gamer market. I'm one of a girl gamer who loves to play game with visual novel format and beautiful art (as you could see from almost all Gust games). And if Atelier Elkrone was published in English, I'd be sure to buy it immediately^^ This game has beautiful story and art, like made by paint brush. Girl always loves anything like this.

The platform which this game is in, PSP, could be played by everyone. It's not expensive so many people could play this game!^^I myself have been saving some money to buy PSP, in case this game is truly published in English!^^

So please, NISA, publish Atelier Elkrone in english version. A game with romance+alchemy+battle is very interesting, but we need a light and peaceful game once in a while, especially this game since the genre is quite rare. It would be a great choice for curious gamers, and maybe it would become a first step so more otome games are published in English!^^ who said that English gamers don't like dating sims+visual novel? Hakuouki just proved it, and it's Atelier Elkrone's turn to rock in the spotlight!

Thanks! Waiting...waiting...*wish for luck*

I'd really love to see this game brought over to North America! I'm a huge fan of both otome games and the Atelier series, so this would be perfect. Good quality games made specifically for girls don't get made very often (particularly in English), so I think it's definitely something you should consider.

I have to say that having a game such as this translated and released in English would be an excellent follow-up to the release of Hakouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom. Hakuoki had been an excellent first choice because, while it was an otome game, it had a deeply intiruging storyline that would enourage players to continue on. It opened a front for this genre of games in America, and I believe that this game would fit right into the scene. I've played the atelier games in the past, and even though this one is more text-based, I think it would still hold enough intrigue as a plot in itself to encourage players to continue on that are new to the genre. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and people already familiar with the Atelier series would definitely be among the first to pick this up. From what I have seen, America has a strong enough fanbase in the Atelier series (why else would they have already released so many of the atelier games in English?) that profits could rival other titles of this series, and it would be the perfect opportunity to expand this genre a little more.

Where are you guys coming from? Is this part of a coordinated effort?

I wouldn't be surprised. That happens from time to time. Happened a lot in the Umineko topic.

I buy every Atelier game that comes out as soon as I can, and if this one was translated I would preorder it! We need more otome games and I think an Atelier one is a wonderful ideas, because it is such a fun series.

I would absolutely love to see this game released in english! Hakuouki was an amazing release, and this would be a great follow up! Definitely keeping an eye out for this one. If Atlier follows in suit, we just may well see a growing trend in Visual Novels being localized for english, and loads more otome games!

Is this the same guy making alts? Or do these guys just really want the game localized?
