Atelier Rorona Scans Confirm the First True 3D Atelier Title

In an article from Dengeki PlayStation last week, it was confirmed that Gust's upcoming PS3 RPG, Atelier Rorona: Arland no Renkinjutsushi, will indeed be making the transition to full 3D.

The character models will utilized a cell-shaded look in order to retain a 2D feel, but the game will be made using a full 3D engine.

While I think the character models are quite attractive, the environments look a little bland to me, though its hard to really judge either from screens alone. Hopefully we'll get to see the actual game in motion sooner than later.

Other details including a first look at some of the characters, a quick rundown on the battle system, and a sneak peak at the game's story are also included.

You can take a look at the scans below, or give the game's first teaser a watch (though it doesn't really show anything).





Atelier Rorona: Arland no Renkinjutsushi will be available for PlayStation 3 on June 25, 2009 in Japan. You can check out the game's official site here.

Scans are available for translation requests in the comments.
