So this Ar no Surge Plus thing has turned into an absolute saga. It seems like there might be a limited retail release through NISA:
@Mazyx We'll contact NISA.

They point out that Atelier Shallie also underperformed at retail (on PS3):
@InFo_47 It's difficult to trust 100% on the Internet input. Atelier Shallie was also meant to be digital. It just didn't perform as good.

But the collector's edition they did through NISA's store performed extremely well:
@Ichikyo57 @vincenth69 @InFo_47 But the Collection Edition did good! That's why we will talk to NIS America regarding this issue again.

So who knows what's going to happen... if they manage to get it working though and the retail version performs well, for the love of god buy it so we get some retrospective Atelier games at physical or something... otherwise 22GB of my 64GB card is going to be Gust games, lol.
