Have you been eying the North American Limited Edition release for Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea but been delaying a possible purchase of it? Unfortunately, the decision to pass or purchase may soon be made for you, with Nippon Ichi Software America now reporting that their pre-order capacity for the edition is somewhere between 0% and 5%. Once the total drops to 0%, it will not be possible to purchase this edition unless more stock is made available at a later date.
At a price of $64.99 USD, this collection includes a copy of Atelier Shallie on the PlayStation 3, a 48-page full-colour hardcover artbook, an original soundtrack CD with jewel case, Atelier Shallie poster (16″ x 24″) and a side-loading limited edition Collector’s Box to store everything in. As of this post, the Limited Edition collection is unavailable through NIS America’s European online store – with Koei Tecmo Europe exclusively handling the game in Europe. In Australia and New Zealand, the team at Mindscape will once again be handling distribution.
Choose to play as either the reserved, mission-focused Shallistera or as ambitious, energetic Shallotte. While their personalities and appearance are drastically different, both girls share the nickname “Shallie.” Shallistera is the daughter of a tribal leader who embarks on a voyage to find a solution to the crisis affecting her homeland. Shallotte, on the other hand, has been struggling to bring success to the alchemy workshop since the passing of her father. Uncover each of their journeys using the dual main character system, which has been improved with multiple separate stories and endings for Shallistera and Shallotte.
