[Commander Fury]

Howdy everyone! Ryan from <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/nis/">NIS America</a> here, dropping by to talk about our upcoming PS3-exclusive title <a href="http://nisamerica.com/games/atelier-meruru/">Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland</a>! Due out May 22nd in North America, this is the final game in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/24/niss-playstation-lineup-bleach-aterlier-totori-disgaea-4-cladun-x2/">Atelier Arland</a> trilogy and we are super excited for its US debut.

 

For those new to the Atelier series, they are RPG games that revolve heavily around adventuring and using alchemy to synthesize items, weapons, and armor. In order to make items with alchemy, you will be out leveling up your characters and gathering materials in various areas. Although Atelier Meruru is the third title in the Arland trilogy, the story itself is independent from the previous two titles, so you can totally pick it up and enjoy it without having previous knowledge of the backstory. For those who have played the other two Arland games, you can definitely look forward to seeing familiar characters from the previous two titles!
