I really want that bird stuffed animal, artbook, and Extra Tracks CD!

That green color reminded me of Miku

Looks like Gust has revealed the special bonus outfits which fans can get (via Noisy Pixel):

These bonuses include Yumia in a day off getup attached to the game’s Premium and Special Collection Boxes. Additionally, GS Cosmo Combo Set purchases from the Gust shop grant three T-shirts for Yumia. European fans can pre-order the Premium and Special Collection Boxes from Koei Tecmo’s online store.

You can view Yumia in these four bonus outfits via our gallery below.

Dang, T-shirt is just weird man. It's a fantasy world, not real world lol

I think this might be the oldest cast of characters in a new Atelier series (might be wrong though).

They really improved the quality of their art, is this really Gust?

Yep, they're cooking with this one. Look at the villain designs they've unveiled yesterday:

 

[JayK47]

This is really looking good.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Almost forgot, here's the new key art which was shared by Gust on their twitter account:

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I'm a sucker for these games, even though I'm not very good at alchemy. They come out faster than I can complete them.

 

[Skifi28]

Please don't botch the technical aspect of the game, everything else looks great.

 

[Lorianus]

Do we know if it is a more lighthearted tone like ryza or a more mature story like the dusk trilogy?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's 2nd trailer which was posted earlier in this thread, but with EN subtitles:

Like the Yakuza games. I finally catch up and like three more come out in a year.

 

[Project EVE]

Definitely more mature like the Atelier Ayesha series, which I love too.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The exploration looks pretty good.

 

[Skifi28]

The more I see, the more I love the animation and aesthetics.

Visually seems a bit underwhelming in the latest trailer, not very crisp either. Don't these games usually look very good?

And they say real-time combat, but it seems we cannot run around during combat?

They do, but not in a technical sense, it's usually the art direction that shines. The studio just doesn't seem equipped to do good visuals or performance and I wonder if it's using the same engine as Ryza 2/3 which also had issues, at least on console. Personally, I'd be really happy if they can do 1440p60 on PS5/Xbox, but I wouldn't be surprised if the game is 1080p or even locked to 30fps. We'll find out soon enough, I guess

They tend to dumb down the alchemy from game to game, but keep adding more unnecessary game mechanics. Still looks good, but I miss the shorter simpler older games. This looks like a 100 hour game.

I know Ryza 2 and 3 have 60 FPS so we should at least get that.

What about "Long Hairy, Hard to Carry, Full of Juice and Ready for Use"?

I think it has a certain ring to it.

Hard to carry lol?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like IGN has dropped their hands-on preview with the game a few hours ago:

 

[foamdino]

Uhh I was trying to hold off for later in the year and pick it up on sale, but this scratches so many brain itches. It basically ticks all the boxes for me. Backlog and wallet in a sorry state over the last few years

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I really feel like they are trying to transition Atelier to being more of a mainstream JRPG with a "serious story" but as long as Atelier as a franchise keeps crafting as a core mechanic I don't see myself ever really being interested in it. Guess we'll see with this one how good the game will be

 

[JayK47]

Dang, they jumped on the $70 bandwagon. $80 for delux and $120 for ultimate. Very pricey.

And no English Dub?
