History Trivia / AtelierSeries

* FanTranslation: After several years of DevelopmentHell, the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 remake of ''Marie'' and ''Elie'' have been translated, including several bug fixes and minor features restored from the original versions added to the English patch.

* RemadeForTheExport: The original ''Atelier Marie'' got a VideoGameRemake in 2023 with an international release from Koei Tecmo America. It was available on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and PC, with a port of ''Atelier Marie Plus'' included with the Digital Deluxe Edition.

* IKnewIt: Ever since the release of ''VideoGame/AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings'' without an English dub, many fans speculated that Koei Tecmo wanted to save money and in the long run and speed up the North American releases by stop dubbing the games altogether since the Atelier series is very niche as a franchise. This is somewhat proven correct, although they cited it's mainly because of the fanbase preferences of the Japanese voices.

** "Marth Syndrome" ended up striking the franchise ''twice''; ''Trinity Universe'' received a US release, and it features characters from Gust, Nippon Ichi and Idea Factory games... including the titular heroine of ''Atelier Viorate''. This means that Viorate ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS called Violet in the game itself]]) joins Marie in debuting in America in a game ''not directly produced by her home company''. Frothing, possibly rabid gamers [[InJoke armed with carrots]] have been spotted outside NISA's offices at this point.

* TheWikiRule: There are several wiki sites covering the games in the series, including the [[https://atelier.wikia.com/wiki/Atelier_Wiki Atelier Wiki]]. Unfortunately, NoExportForYou means that games that aren't exported to English-language countries don't have English-language wikis.

** As of TheNewTwenties, this has become an issue for some of the games, up to and including some of the ones released when this very wiki was new and had recent pages for the titles! While every ''Atelier'' title from ''Rorona'' on (save for mobile titles) has been released on [=PS4=] and PC, thus ensuring their long-term accessibility, earlier titles are in a rougher state: ''Marie'' has been re-released for numerous platforms and even got a remake, but ''Elie'' was last released on the [=PS2=] in 2005, and the [=PS2=]-original games have it even tougher. The ''Atelier Iris'' games have never been re-issued for ''any'' platform, and the Gramnad and ''Mana Khemia'' series were last released on the [=PlayStation=] Portable - and the PSP download storefront shut down in 2021 (and only the original ''Mana Khemia'' saw an international release on the platform in any event). As a result, from ''Elie'' through ''[=MK2=]'', anyone with an interest in the games as of this (2023) edit has to resort to either the second-hand market or outright piracy.

** As additional trivia, ''Atelier Lilie'' has the worst of it by far - the game has not been re-issued in any way since 2002 (with its ''Plus'' edition with expanded content), and was never put up on download storefronts or ported to the PSP, so it has now been out of print for more than ''twenty years''! It also lacks any kind of translation patch, so enjoying it as an anglophone can be extremely challenging. The ''Iris'' games at least got a second printing under the "[=PlayStation The BEST=]" label in Japan much later in the [=PS2's=] life, as well as the US printings - no such luck on either front for ''Lilie''.
