Either this will help give the series more exposure, or the milking has begun!

I dunno, perhaps I'm overly worrying but this is one of the worst conclusions to this buy out that I can think of.

I'd worry, too, although I haven't personally played any of the Atelier games (I only own Rorona, but plan on buying Totori and Meruru). Fom everything I have read of people's opinions, the Atelier series is a very good one in terms of gameplay. I know we've seen a lot of bad things happen when a company gets bought by a big company or when a merger happens.

I just know that I will miss the extras that NISA almost always put into games they publish.
