It seemed Gust was trying to push more story content and world setting with Ayesha, hopefully they continue that with this game and go back to story focused alchemy RPGs like the Atelier Iris series with the new Dusk series.
The Arland series was fun, but it was too lighthearted and character focused rather than having a strong story to follow. The settings were also fairly weak in comparison to Ayesha.
Since Gust has stated they are interested in continuing both Arland and Dusk series at the same time, hopefully that means we will get the best of both worlds. Arland is likely to continue as a Vita series since Gust is very pleased with Vita sales on Totori and Meruru Plus (by the way there will be no Rorona Plus as stated in a Meruru countdown video, a Rorona 2 or full remake is likely). Dusk will likely stay PS3.
