They don't. Delete the bubble and you're deleting save data as well.

Huh.
I don't really like the dub for this.
I actually like Totori's and meruru's dub, but I'm not feeling much for this.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Would backing the game up to a PS3 or PC preserve the save data?

Yes, but to get the data back on your Vita, you need to bring the whole game too. I guess you could unlock the items one at a time?

It should at least on the PC side.
You can also upload the save onto PS+ as well and that would be independent from the game data I believe.

yeah its REAL shitty that the only way to manage digital dl saves reasonably is to have ps+.

I'm ready! Having save data from Totori Plus and Meruru Plus get you some additional costumes, but that's it.
Alright have all the Arland games lined up now.
Question: where/how do you guys get those bg's? They're awesome. I have Totoro+ and Meruru+ on one of my saves. I may just buy Rorona+ for the vita and play them all on handheld.
Check two pages ago.

I made mine to match my White/Blue Vita! Pick the bottom blue/green wave first to have Miku Append floating in the appropriate aura wave.

Figured this out, BTW- while I got an error when I pressed the "import save" button on the game's "page," it detected them properly upon booting up the game.
That option is only for the physical carts. The US publisher probably didn't bother telling the devs to remove the code when localising the game.
That was present in the original Rorona too
I might be going senile and forgetting/mixing things between these Arland games.
You don't have to since they're completely separate things, but you might as well finish the game you're in the middle of before moving on to another one

Atelier Rorona Plus and Atelier Ayesha acquired! Both for PS3, Rorona is installing now.
Finally get to play Rorona after skipping it the first time.

I had no idea there were 5 games and 3 remakes out already, Rorona (sep 2010) was the only one released when i left for the military.
Jumping into this franchise now is a daunting task, are the previous Vita remakes solid?
And do all the games have a time limit? based on comments here Rorona has the most restrictive limit, how do the rest stack up?

All this talk of time limits brings back nightmares of Majora's Mask, could never finish it

Technically there are eleven games (not including remakes) localized if you count the PS2 and DS games.
The Vita games are all pretty solid. Start with Rorona Plus, then Totori Plus, then Meruru Plus, as they all take place in the same world and happen in that order. The Dusk games (Ayesha, Esha&Logy, Shallie) are a separate universe, but Ayesha and Escha&Logy are only localized for PS3 (and only Ayesha is on Vita in Japan so far) while Shallie hasn't even released in Japan on any platform yet.
Rorona is the only game with remotely strict time limits- you pretty much have to deliberately blow off the hard "do this by x time or game over" deadlines in Totori and Meruru to fuck them up. Much like with Persona 3 and 4, the time limit is only a big issue (even in Rorona) if you're going for 100% of everything in one non-NG+ run.

Will do, thanks. I've got a bad tendency to skip and skim when trying to catch up with any threads
That's awesome, thank you!I made mine to match my White/Blue Vita! Pick the bottom blue/green wave first to have Miku Append floating in the appropriate aura wave.

Do you need a save file far into Totori/Mereru to import to Rorona for the bonuses, or just a starting save?
And I guess you need to have all three games on the cart for the saves to be available?

No, you don't. You just need a save file in as you saved in those games, even if it's in the very first save point.

Actually really like the way gathering and travelling works.
Gives me less anxiety based on how much fucking time it takes to gather and travel.

Ah my mistake, Mana Khemia & Atelier Iris count as entries in this franchise right? i was too busy playing Disgaea back then so i missed them.
Ok, did Totori and Meruru Plus receive major overhauls like Rorona did or just some added content?
I see, i'm not a Trophy whore so not getting everything in one run doesnt bother me too much. What carries over in NG+?
Added content. Those are not remakes, just ports of the PS3 versions.
1. The Mana Khemia and Atelier Iris games do count as numbered Atelier entries.
2. No, Totori+ and Meruru+ were more like ports with some added content. Rorona+ was called "New Atelier Rorona" in Japan because it's a remake rather than a port.

This game isn't showing up in my trophy list, is that happening for anyone else?
Yeah, there's a glitch with the trophy list, just online tho, switch to offline mode and you'll see it
Even that much isn't necessary, just getting the games installed and system data made seems to be enough to unlock the extras.

Shit, didn't know Rorona Plus is also on the PS3. I always thought it was Vita only. It just showed up on my Amazon recommended list. I was about to start Totori, but now I have to get this.

Got this game today, my first Atelier game and the game is charming like no other, music and art style are gorgeous and the gameplay mechanics are super fun, my only complain is framerate, is really noticeable when your are outdoors, how come a game like this can run smooth 100% all the time?
I have one question about unlocking costumes with the other games savedata, I got some savedata from gamefaqs (same region as my game), but nothing got unlocked, I guess this way does not work?.

Man, I miss totori and meruru Sterk, where he was a little bit more... unhinged. He's just kinda super serious in this.

Are you playing on the Vita?
Yeah, that doesn't work, even if you resign the save data under your own profile it won't unlock it. I tried that after my Totori saves from a different region didn't work.
Is it bad that my main reason for wanting to play Rorona is Sterk?
I even want to check out that Warriors Orochi thing... =____=rockman zx

It seems to be setting files (not saves).
The original Atelier Rorona never actually creates a setting file unless you adjust the settings (like volume or language).
The RAR file at http://kalanyr.com/RoronaPlusPS3Unlock.rar should contain all the files needed to unlock all the game bonuses for a US Rorona Plus PS3 game (the Escha & Logy settings file is from Gamefaqs but the rest are mine).
I'm in the middle of trying to dodge 200 Lightning Bolts in FFX on my Vita, but when I get that done , I'll try and upload a PS3 system data for Rorona Plus with all the costumes unlocked (including the Vita games), so that those of you who want to and know how to can resign it.

Sterk is a very good reason for anything.

This worked, thanks.
Does anyone with an Asian PSN account own the Atelier Plus series (english) here? Could anyone confirm that Totori Plus saves are not recognised by Meruru and Rorona Plus, probably due to the Totori being the EU version and Meruru and Rorona being the US version (looking at the manuals).

Different region saves won't work.
