It’s rather rare to see an Atelier game outside of a PlayStation system these days. But with Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland, Gust Corporation has decided to bring this latest entry to 3DS.
Given Gust’s goals with Atelier Rorona Plus, it makes sense for the game to be on Nintendo’s portable. Series director Yoshito Okamura told Japanese website Dengeki that the company wants to expand the franchise to a more diverse audience.
Okamura said:
Naturally, when you shift to a different platform, the age demographic changes as well. In light of this, we have the super-deformed versions of the characters. However, even if there are many Atelier fans in their 20s, the age range goes up to people in their 40s as well, since many fans from the Mary games are still supporting the series.
