[PS3] Atelier Shallie ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sea~
New Atelier game announced, it will be the 16th installment in the series, and third chapter of the Dusk series. Release date in Japan: June 26 postponed to July 17.
There will be two heroines, Shallistera (Shallie) voiced by Koiwai Kotori (Iwai in Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, Renge in Non Non Biyori) and Shallotte, voiced by Uesaka Sumire (Dekomori in Chuunibyou, Erbia in Outbreak Company). The director will be the same of Atelier Rorona and Totori, so the game might be more on the ecchi side if compared to Ayesha and Escha & Logy. . Additional infos about the two heroines (source: Gematsu): Quote:

Day 1 if it ever comes here. I just wish Koei will handle the localization better. There were a bunch of error in their translations in item's property and description, and a lot of text go over the text box.

Main site has been opened.
You can listen to the 4 sample BGM on the main site. I can see buying this game for just the BGM alone is worth it. Also, the 3D model in characters section actually made me go "wut?", since I thought they are 2D artwork instead.

Sorry for double posting, but they have reveal more characters. The returning of Solle Grumman is also one I welcome.

Several new videos came out in the last period, showing the game dynamics. There seem to be some news this year, particularly as far as time management is concerned. From what I've gathered it's been radically changed and the majority of the japanese fanbase isn't particularly happy about it. Can't say much more than this since informations are still vague and scattered all around (besides the game won't come out before 40 days).
By the way, it turns out that Wilbell is Shallotte's teacher! Now for some videos Spoiler for Game mechanics:
Spoiler for Battle:
Spoiler for Boss battle:
Spoiler for Misc:

So... the Vita version comes out days... this version comes with all DLC.
As someone who played and finished Ayesha and Excha/Logy, I have a question for hose who have played this: Does Shallie delve more on how the Dusk is ending their world and more or less give a satisfying conclusion to the Dusk Trilogy? As much as I liked the first 2 Dusk games, my only complaint was that for a world that was essentially dying, there was a certain distinct lack of gravitas for the whole thing. For as Ayesha focused more on finding Nio and learning what an Alchemist is and how Escha/Logy focused more on keeping their dying region going while investigating ruins, both games never really delved much on the lore and history of the Dusk which I found a very interesting background to the whole story arc. I know I know as someone who's been playing Atelier games since the PS2 era story was never ever a main selling point in this series, but this is the first time this series got me engaged in an underlying story.

My understanding was is that it was generally accepted that the world was dying, it was past the point of no return and it was just merely a matter of time thanks to humans wasteful and shortsighted policies steadily destroying the world by damaging the land and destroying resources thanks to misuse of Alchemy. Later Alchemists tried various projects to save and revitalize the world which either failed or generally made things worse.
The Protagonists in the story are generally more down to earth characters who aren't world savers, they're just trying to live their own lives and accomplish their personal goals, be it finding their long lost disappeared sister with Alchemy, get through their day job using Alchemy so they can bring home their paycheck as well as have fun exploring and doing things, or try to help/save their own town/village etc. The world has basically deteriorated beyond the point anyone could individually save and the scale of projects we see attempted by people in the backstories are FAR beyond what any of the individual protagonists in the game can do. Some of them do go out into the world seeking for their own answers about the Dusk but for me the story has always been about these individual's journeys rather than the eventual destinations. I'm pretty much rambling at this point, but hopefully I got my point across.

Well my point being that the adds and trailers for Shallie as the Dusk trilogy finale is supposed to bring closure to the Dusk story line. Whether or not the world is saved from it's doom is not really important to me; I've accepted that in all likelihood their world will eventually die off anyway, but I can still accept that it may be saved.
All I want is a conclusion, whatever it may be, as long as it's satisfying.
