those jugs deserives a physical release on all consoles

[@MiamiSunrise]

Really makes you wonder sometimes what these publishing companies are thinking. European buyers should be able to get a physical Switch version in their own region without having to import it.

[@wowgek7]

they dont care about the eu just look at crapcom or sony with the ps5 pro. thank god for no regionlock and importing being an option. personaly not interested in the atelier series because of the fucking time limit and all atelier games requireng a lot of patches. the time limit is realy the reason I have no interest in the atelier series and I know its lenient on some of them but an time limit in an rpg is an dealbreaker for me lenient or not

[@user-ng1yu7io4r]

This is sheer stupidity. The time limit is actually not a problem in most installments. And patches are also not a big thing. Been buying every new title releases yearly and there are really no crashes or bad glitches

[@wowgek7]

@@user-ng1yu7io4r reading your comment I think you meant to quote me first of those atelier patches in most cases do a lot I read the patchnotes for them if I could find them. I only buy my games physical if they are complete or if I deem the patches not necesairly. then the time limit an rpg for me is about exploring discovering everything etc. with an time limit lenient or not to me that means skip everything opional dont go exploring etc. it ruins pretty much everything I love about rpgs in the first place. final as an example these are the patchnotes of the verry first patch of atelier rhyza ever darknes there are more but just these seem pretty important and necesairy to me Additional function update (“Photo Mode”, “Weasel Roast”, “Puni Companion”) Fixed bugs that occurred under certain circumstances in battles and quests Expansion update(“Advanced Exploration Patch”, ” Highest Difficulty Patch”) Fixed a bug that prevented progress when selecting Chinese (traditional) or Chinese (simplified) in the language settings of Nintendo Switch™ after applying Update 1.02 Support for additional content Fixed a bug that causes the game to freeze when moving the map to the Secret Hideout or Hidden Clearing Fixed a bug when extra skills may not be activated when an extra order is achieved during battle under certain conditions. Fixed several display issues Other minor adjustments and issues.

Happy that it doesnt affect me. Feels bad that other people have to jump through hoops. Unfortunately, it probably wont have all DLC. Their last 2 games had digital exclusive DLC.

[@derekminna]

Just to clarify, I mean wont have all DLC available*. Ryza 3, Sophie 2, and Blue Reflection Second Light have DLC that you cant get unless you buy the digital deluxe versions. Kind of annoying for a physical collector.

[@roax206]

Which DLC? I don't really care about the swimsuits, but any of the synthesis or story/area packs would be annoying.

[@derekminna]

​@roax206 it is just additional cosmetics. But its more so the principle of the matter. Locking off content of any kind to collectors is a bad look imo. Its not gonna prevent me from buying the physical but I wonder if the intention is to get people to purchase the other version as well.

[@ramiroabreu4633]

I think you're right about the switch 2 physical version

[@SkyScourgeGod]

Thats super weird how the physicals are being treated in different regions. I am an Xbox guy so I am happy to see the game is coming physically to that console but this release still confuses the hell out of me. The Switch physical is only in NTSC despite being the most popular console of the generation everywhere and the PS4 physical is only in Europe despite generally being more popular than the Xbox. Something else you didn't mention is that it looks like the NTSC physical version on the Xbox will be playable on the Xbox One with Series X version being brought to us by smart delivery (meaning digital via disc authentication) but the European version says the Xbox One version is going to be digital only like the Switch version implying that the Series X version is on disc in Europe. Um, what...? 🥴

[@HonkaiMain]

Europe is somewhat on a power trip when it comes to being able to control what their citizens do. And so having games only being available as digital is an easier way to ban and take games from their own citizens.

[@ArcadeGamer1929]

I really hope I'll be able to pick up an Xbox One physical of this.

[@SkyScourgeGod]

@@ArcadeGamer1929 If you are in the NTSC regions then the physical version will include the Xbox One version on disc with the series version being downloadable through smart delivery. If you are in Europe, the Xbox One version is download only. The series version will be on disc.

[@ArcadeGamer1929]

@@SkyScourgeGod Guess I'll be importing the NTSC version, thanks

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Same with tales of graces f remastered. Only available for switch and PS5 physically in the West, yet in Europe, they have a physical PS4 and Xbox version. The lack of a physical Xbox version in the US in particular makes no sense because you'd think Xbox is way more popular in America than it is in Europe. So why is it that Europe is getting a physical Xbox release but not America?

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

I got Ryza on PS4, Ryza 2 on Switch and Ryza 3 on PS5. I’m not good at being consistent. I bit of a shame there is no Switch version here but you may be right about the new version. We can hope.

[@MusouTensei82]

Well they lost my sale then, I will someday buy a 2nd hand PS4 copy.

[@InfiniteStarz39]

There's also evidence about Switch 2 because the Switch version is $10 cheaper than PS5/Xbox Series X. It's very likely that there'll be a $10 Switch 2 upgrade.

[@MiamiSunrise]

@@InfiniteStarz39 that’s honestly the first thing I noticed when they announced the physical release. I thought it was a bit odd that the switch version was $10 cheaper. I don’t recall any recent releases having that alteration in price. Usually it would just all be the same price and you pick the platform you want.

[@PhysicalParadise]

I guess. But the higher powered consoles have established the 70$ price tag by now. Nintendo has not.

[@zip3704]

Thank god metaphors isnt coming to the switch last thing i need is for that gem to be held back by ancient outdated hardware like the switch

[@Tylerda-sb3iw]

I really don’t have a problem with Atelier Yumia not being on PS4 because I do have a Switch console and more than likely this game and also Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma another JRPG announced during the Nintendo Direct in August will be on the Switch 2 console since both games have some really good graphics and art design. I believe we’re at a point now with Nintendo where they will still be having games on the original Switch while those same games will be readily available for the Switch 2 console with an upscale in graphics and maybe memory data. Let’s hope though that the price for the Switch 2 will be less expensive than the PS5 Pro.

​@@PhysicalParadiseIt could be the console is getting different release dates around the world, but not some of the games that are coming out near its release, so to cover all their bases they're trying to give a portion of the people that but it a release on the Switch and maybe give Europe an upgraded version of it because they can't confidently ensure a Switch version vs. a Switch 2 version of the game can release at the same time there. I'm sure I've seen the Wii and Wii U do this before where two versions of the same game exist for separate generations of consoles.

[@millasgameroom]

Your theory about a Switch 2 version is likely correct. Otherwise this makes no sense, given the Switch fanbase is a huge portion of Atelier sales at this point.

Could it be that they are too lazy to add the newly announced text languages on cartridge (French, Spanish,...), and will put only English, thus deciding they can't physically release on switch in Europe? In any case, soooo disapointing... Every single Atelier game released in NA was released in EU too in the past 😔 Now they are following the Capcom route..

I doubt it. Text is such a minimal amount of space. If it was voice acting it may be different?

I'm sorry to all of the Europeans. First, I heard about the Code in the Box for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and now I'm hesring this. Tbh, I have been importing some games that either US get no physical copy, being only exclusive on LRG, or other exclusive websites or only getting like one game in a cartridge while the other is a download code like Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remastered for example. That's why I'm glad the Switch is region free.

The problem with the EU switch situation is, if you get an American version the game is bound to get dlc, and that won’t be compatible with the eu store

My Guess that because Nintendo doesn't have that strong of a presense compared to Sony in Europe despite the switch's success. So I think these publishers don't thing that effort is worth it. Same thing is happening with Capcom and the MVC collection.

Capcom are borderline negligent in Europe

You think there will be a Switch and Switch 2 version? There is no way it’s only going to be on the next Nintendo console and not on the current Switch. That’s just not smart business

[@PhysicalParadise]

I think it'll be cross generational. Maybe I'm overly hopeful. But maybe a Switch 2 cartridge could also be compatible with the Switch 1? Giving the less enhanced version. Just guessing though. We'll just have to wait and see what Nintendo reveal.
