Someday I will buy all the Atelier games for Vita in a sale
Escha & Logy Plus is for Vita.
KT announced that a few weeks ago. It's only in the OP because I'm too lazy to edit the image, lol.
And the sad part there is no Shallie Plus.
Yet.
If KT can justify making DW8 Empires on Vita, they'll probably get Shallie Plus out too.

I guess Koei even got tired of seeing people constantly confuse Yoru with Ni no Kuni.

This is the first title I skipped the PS3 release of to wait for the inevitable Vita release.
Now I'm worried I won't be able to complete that trilogy on Vita since Shallie Plus isn't even a thing in Japan yet.

Thanks.
What does the Japanese title of Nights of Azure translate as, The Country/Land of No Night or something like that? I definitely would've preferred that as the western title, but oh well.
That's nice, but irrelevant to me because I don't have a Vita (nor intend to get one). Will stick with the original PS3 version of E&L I've been neglecting.
Relatively curious about reasons for this. I've enjoyed what I've played so far, but at the same time, this was also my first game in the series (I also recall seeing it cited as a good choice for players new to the series).

Good I skipped the PS3 one on the high chance this might happen.
With how shit the port to Vita was it was for the better. Better of playing it via remote play!
Wait it was it unplayable shit? it can be worse than the Ateliers plus ports and those were semi playable.
It surely isn't the best looking game but it sure is playable. Of course it can't measure up to the PS4 version though. At least it doesn't go overboard with bloom like Ys Celceta.
EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure why the screenshots have the HUD so blurry since it sure is the sharpest objects in-game.
Two Vita western release announcements in one day. Some legacy platform it is.
I'm pretty sure they'll bring Vita version too after that twitter backlash. I mean they are releasing DW8 Empires Vita before Japan, it's obvious that they care about Vita.

Do you have a copy? Cause these pics are the only ones making rounds of the internet.
Care to give some impressions for frame rate too? I gave up on vita version because of this.

What is with the Plus versions? Are they much better? I'd rather play them on PS3 which I own already
Includes all DLC and gameplay improvements. Plus Portability!

Yes, i've been waiting for this!
Maybe the blurriness in the screenshot is due to a difference in pixel density between the vita's screen and your monitor? Added to that the somewhat crappy quality of vita screenshots.
Framerate issues, but is turn based so no biggie, the worse was the lastest one from the Arland saga can't remember her name was a princess or something, hopefully Escha & Logy are better optimized.

Goodness, that's rough. It probably looks a bit better in person, though. Most Vita games do.

Shouldn't really upload to imgur as they compress images. Use something like abload.
Well cutscenes are on Ar Nosurge level. At bit janky, but watchable. Hub is pretty smooth. Battle framerate is from 20-30. 30 with dips to 20 with lots on the screen. The main drawback is the resolution which is comparable to main field in Celceta. If you have a PS4, get it for that version. If you only have a Vita, it may service you well enough. The menus run at 60fps though xD

You misspelled Shallie.
I'm not expecting a cart for this; I assume the only reason we get the Plus variants at all is because the digital-only release is relatively cheap.
imgur compression aside, it's plain as day that it's a sub-native game.

The Nights of Azure logo is a placeholder and will be changed before release, but the name is final.
