On the import scene today, we can bring you news on the announcement of the latest installment of Gust's long-running RPG series
Atelier no Iris, entitled
Eternal Mana. Unfortunately this series has been Japan-only up to this point, which is a crying shame considering the extremely sleek, fresh look of the game; the superdeformed-sprites-on-3D-backgrounds style has never looked so beautiful and the hardcore anime-style character designs bring back memories of those wonderful Super NES RPGs of yesteryear. (
Check out some screens of the game here.) The series' "Japan-only" history is somewhat understandable though, considering that all the installments in the series have dealt with the common theme of alchemy; localizing the series at this point may only end up confusing a lot of gamers playing an Iris title for the first time. Nevertheless, we'll be sure to keep you updated on word of any possible stateside release for this game.
Atelier no Iris: Eternal Mana is set to be released this May in Japan. Importers, start your credit cards!
Looks good.
