Essentially it's a hostile takeover via stocks for the IPs, namely the Atelier series. This news saddens me, I've become a HUGE fan of Gust games over the last couple of years, and now their IPs will likely not only be exploited to hell and back, but I wouldn't be surprised if Koei-Tecmo casually excused the current Gust staff in the process.
I'm NOT a happy camper! >_<

Well, I agree with you that I wish they'd left Gust alone, but the current Atelier games for the PS3 have horrible camera work and maybe they could get that fixed to make the whole package better. I think the battle systems could use a bit more work as well. However, if they screwed the Atelier series like how S-E screwed the Final Fantasy games, Gust would be on a one-way train ride for bankruptcy.Nobiyuki77 wrote:http://www.koeitecmo.co.jp/php/pdf/ird6_20111207.pdf

Very true. I kinda like how the Atelier games are currently though. They've really taken me and Atelier Meruru is my most anticipated game next year. ^_^LunarSilverStar wrote:Well, I agree with you that I wish they'd left Gust alone, but the current Atelier games for the PS3 have horrible camera work and maybe they could get that fixed to make the whole package better.

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Although, I'm kinda partial towards Gusts 2D sprite-based games on the PS2, especially Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny -- that one is by far my favorite.Nobiyuki77 wrote:Very true.

I need to play the Iris games. I have a hard time finding them used locally. >> <<LunarSilverStar wrote:I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Although, I'm kinda partial towards Gusts 2D sprite-based games on the PS2, especially Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny -- that one is by far my favorite.
