Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) | comment |
Atelier Meruru is the third game of the Arland series of Atelier Series games on the PlayStation 3, released in 2011 in Japan and America in 2012. It is a direct sequel to Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland and Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland before it, and (like many an Atelier game), can be described as one-part JRPG, one-part Time Management Game and three-parts Item Crafting with a dollop of Moe for flavour.Merurulince Rede Arls (just call her "Meruru") is the Rebellious Princess of Arls, a small kingdom located in the north of the Arland Republic. Bored with palace life, she impulsively decides to become an alchemist under the tutelage of Totooria Helmold, the main character of Atelier Totori. This does not sit well with her father and royal retainer, so they propose a deal: if Meruru can prove that her interest in alchemy is not just a passing fad by improving her skills and using them to develop Arls into a thriving kingdom over three years, then she will be permitted to complete her training.An Updated Re-release of the game titled Atelier Meruru Plus: The Alchemist of Arland 3 for Play Station Vita released March 20, 2013 in Japan, with Regular and Premium editions available. The regular version was also released internationally on PSN in October 2013. Another rerelease, Atelier Meruru DX, was released on September 20, 2018 in Japan and December 4, 2018 in North America as part of the Atelier Arland Series Deluxe Pack for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. It is followed by Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland, released in 2019. | |

Item Caddy: You can now have Totori as your partner, along with Rorona who also fills this role, making this game the first to have three consecutive protagonist alchemists in a single adventuring party, all of whom can use brought items. | |

Multiple Endings | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Like the two games before this, what you achieve in game can determine the ending which you'll get, based on a number of factors. There's also a pecking order, where if you meet the requirements of one ending, you'll still get another if you meet the requirements for one with a higher priority. A bit of guide reading is in order. The game does do you one favor though— anytime you secure the requirements for an ending, you get a MeMemo (journal) entry with the phrase "I feel like I've uncovered a whole new future for myself!" Additionally, this phrase is presented in Rainbow Speak to draw your attention. | |

The Cameo | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Since Meruru was originally the last Arland game, it was seen as a celebration and send-off for the mini-series. While a lot of past characters make proper appearances, a few only appear in the background of other scenes just to give them a nod to their role in the sub-series. Marc, Ceci, and Lionela appear in the background of the town shots of the opening movie. Esty's character ending depicts Gerhard in a non-speaking role tending the bar in Arls while she and Filly take a break. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Meruru's charm and main point of being. Instead of going by her father's aim of letting the nation get peacefully absorbed into Arland's border, Meruru later wants to use alchemy to bolster Arls condition. Throughout the game, her efforts will be rewarded by the sight of the map becoming crowded with representation of Arls' growth | |

Visual Initiative Queue: The order in which combatants act is shown on the right side of the screen. Depending on the character's speed and the move they make, they will be moved down a certain amount of spaces. Some skills and items also place "time cards" which cause an effect to happen after a delay. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Instead of a straight out game over, this game repeats the previous' defeat penalty by whisking the player back to starting point, passing the same time should the player have walked back themselves. Should that be the case, players often would just do one thing: load the game. A piece of development equipment plays it straighter - with it equipped, getting defeated just puts the player back at the start of the current area, albeit still with everyone at 1 health. | |

Sheltered Aristocrat: Gio shows has shades of this. In one of the more comic scenes, he finds Princess Meruru minding a dry goods shop for a friend. One of the things Meruru is selling is carrots, which he doesn't recognize because he's only ever had them cooked and buttered. He offers 100 cole for one, but Meruru says it's way too much and sells it to him for 10 cole... which is still 3 more cole than it's normally sold for to the player at the shop! | |

Atelier Meruru DX, for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, part of the Atelier Arland Deluxe Pack or standalone. The game is virtually identical to Plus but also adds the pre-order costumes from Plus in the base game along with a sprinting function and fast-forward function for combat. Two bonus scenes were added to the event viewer that explain the storyline before and after Rorona Plus/DX's Overtime Mode and a Sequel Hook for Lulua was also added to the ending credits. | |

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_637ef67 | comment |
New Game Plus: Items, levels, money and development don't get carried over in the original version (just 1000 cole), but equipped items (including development items equipped to Meruru) do in all versions. Furthermore, it's only really practical to get most endings for Trophies in New Game Plus. Therefore, you should really just do your best in your first playthrough and make sure to synthesize the best equipment possible, then start a New Game Plus with this equipment equipped to everyone. Also, Gio's later events are only accessible in New Game Plus as he isn’t recruitable until the plus playthrough. | |

Improbable Weapon User: Lias Falken fits this trope for the main reason of shouting out Super Robot Wars' Kyosuke Nanbu, as his weapon of choice is a gauntlet-equipped revolver stake. Keina Swaya uses a basket carrying sleeping drugs and healing potions, though that fits into Improvised Weapon. The basket’s impracticality is commented on by Hagel when the player crafts the Almighty Basket for the first time. | |

And the Adventure Continues: At the end of the game, before the credits, Dessier says that he knows this isn't the end, but the beginning, as Arls, now part of the Arland Republic, has a bright future. Meruru expresses a similar sentiment and then you get to see a bit of how her adventures continue, based on which ending you qualified for. The DX version, which was released to promote Atelier Lulua, adds a Sequel Hook CG that literally says this. | |

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: Due to the large carry-over of cast, a number of examples from previous games apply here as well. Two new examples for Meruru, however, are Meruru's father and "the young shop owner" - the former was "Dessie Horstna Arls" (デジエ ホルストナ アールス). As this was a bit feminine for a man, a bit of kana-interpretation alchemy transformed it into Dessier Hahlsner Arls.note A trailing "e" or "a" sound can be interpreted as a light "er" or "ar" in romanization of Japanese. More problematic was the latter, though, as "Fwana/Juana Olsys" (フアナ オルシズ). There've been several ways given of spelling her name and neither really matches the given katakana. NISA ended up saying "pike it" and called her Hanna Olses. An interesting quasi-example is Mimi; in the promotional material for Meruru, she was called "Mimi Houlier von Schwarzlank". This wasn't even consistent with the spelling Gust gave in Japan's version of Atelier Totori. NISA, naturally, opted to keep the spelling consistent between English versions as "Mimi Houllier von Schwarzlang". | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: If at anytime you allow Meruru's popularity to drop to zero, then Rufus comes to the workshop, chastises her, and then sends her before Dessier, who is so mad at her that he reneges on his promise and ends her alchemy studies immediately, followed by a Game Over without even getting the Bad Ending (and thus no "Castle Life" Trophy.) | |

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_8e9cf84e | comment |
"Blind Idiot" Translation: While the overall game is very polished, the text has a noticeably high number of typos and errors throughout in the English version. Some of the item effects in the Plus and DX versions are also incorrect as they still reference percentages from the vanilla game before it was rebalanced for Plus and DX. This causes problems with development because it will ask for items with traits that don't exist in the game and are actually traits from the original version translated wrong. For example, in Plus, one item needs the well-crafted trait, but no such trait exists in the game. It's actually referring to the hand-crafted trait from the original game. That isn't even the worst example. Another task wants an item with the ultimate trait. No such trait exists in the game. It's actually referring to the finest goods trait from the original game. Under normal circumstances, hardly anyone would think that the ultimate trait was actually referring to the finest goods trait. Aside from that, the writers clearly forgot that several characters in the previous two games had their ages raised in the English versions, leading to references to Rorona being 14 in the original game and Sterk still being in his 30s in this game (he should be over 40 using the ages from the first two Arland localizations.) | |

Hot Springs Episode | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_926e0d7d | comment |
Hot Springs Episode: An entire ending route has Meruru stumble upon a hot spring near the volcano and expanding it into a resort that turns into Arls' biggest attraction. One fanservicey scene shows the girls bathing together, while the actual ending of that route instead focuses on the guys taking a dip... much to the dismay of Peter, who took up a job at the hot springs in hope of getting to ogle women (the ladies do have a Skinship Grope, but it's hidden behind a black screen). | |

Pretty Princess Powerhouse: She is a lovely girl with Cuteness Proximity and long hair, and she is also an alchemist dedicated to improving her kingdom using her ability to synthesize items. Although she's not the strongest fighter in terms of pure martial ability, she more than makes up for it by crafting items to use in combat which include extremely powerful bombs, magical weapons, and a Fantastic Nuke shaped like a mushroom. The ingredients for these are items are found at the source. Need dragon scales? She goes to kill a dragon personally, no delegating to guards. One of the titles she can earn is "The Strongest Princess". Last but not least, she's the only Atelier Series protagonist with her own battle theme song! | |

(Unless, of course, you receive the Witch's Tea Party ending, in which case she finishes the game aged to 14 by a potion!) | |

Updated Re-release | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: Two of them. Atelier Meruru Plus for PlayStation Vita, which comes with all the DLC included, adds a dressing room for Meruru, Totori, and Rorona, a series of superbosses for Makina Domain, new endgame recipes needed to beat the super bosses, and a new ending. There were also some balance changes throughout the game - enough that players used to vanilla need to make sure they're using updated guides for building ultimate gear. Atelier Meruru DX, for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, part of the Atelier Arland Deluxe Pack or standalone. The game is virtually identical to Plus but also adds the pre-order costumes from Plus in the base game along with a sprinting function and fast-forward function for combat. Two bonus scenes were added to the event viewer that explain the storyline before and after Rorona Plus/DX's Overtime Mode and a Sequel Hook for Lulua was also added to the ending credits. | |

Flanderization | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: The game exaggerates the Rorona characters' most well-known traits to the point Sterk is obsessed with knighthood to Hot-Blooded degrees (compared to his previous characterization treating him as Not So Above It All at most), Esty is perpetually fixated on escaping her Old Maid status, and Astrid is constantly a Jerkass Troll to her disciples with fewer Hidden Depths compared to what she showed in Rorona. While some of it can be chalked up to circumstance, most of it is probably due to Meruru having a Denser and Wackier tone than its predecessors, since Lulua giving Sterk a significant Character Check results in Meruru coming off as an outlier. | |

Combination Attack: One of this game's ferocious selling points involving combat.

Totori returns after three days, having only supposed to have been gone for one day, but her sister Ceci wouldn't let her leave that soon. Meruru says that she should have told her the truth about the trip, but Totori points out that she never gave her the chance. Rufus points out "How could I tell a princess who refused to show herself?" | |

Old Maid | |
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland (Video Game) / int_ff2ceef1 | comment |
Old Maid: In and out of universe, both related to the Potion of Youth plot. In universe, Astrid’s concern with both herself and Rorona aging relates to not wanting this to happen to either of them for purely selfish reasons. When Esty discovers the Potion’s existence she becomes extremely obsessed with getting some for herself to try and save her terrible marriage prospects as she’s already forty by the time this game starts. Out of universe, the devs blatantly admitted that the plotline exists at all because they didn’t want to imagine Rorona in her thirties extending all the way into the original version only having endings where Rorona was turned into an eternal 14-year-old so she would still only be depicted as young and cute. Negative fan reaction across the world led to the addition of the "It’s About Time Ending" for Plus and notably the two extra movies add in DX to to explain the storyline of Rorona Plus's Overtime year also make sure to let you know that Rorona is once more an adult. | |
