From her design, it kinda looks like Totori is the father...

Whoa whoa whoa, Totori x Mimi is a thing here. 

 

on topic. Rorona's daughter eh? Sterk finally confessed I guess? Guess we'll wait and see. I'm excited to see another game in the series. Can't wait to see who's the real father. Wonder if Astrid will be there as well.

Finally someone... But my problem is with Rorona instead Totori, and this is a strange feeling to be honest. ): 

 

Don't really understand what the problem is, but I guess everyone thinks different.

 

I really like the idea of Rorona being a mother. I think she'd be a great mother (and Astrid would be a great grandmother xD)

And she really looks beautiful and reminded me of Totori, too.

 

Guess I really have to play the last trilogy and then the DX version before playing this then.

Maybe I'm being selfish about the matter of Rorona now became a mother, but I can't understand the logic behind this, why if Rorona now is mother Gust let her in other land far away where her daughter is... If you don't want show me Rorona in her 35+ and most importat the Lulua`s father don't touch Rorona and simply create another Arland game with another protagonist... In the last update they said that we could know who the father is...

The last update has something very interesting:

 

- “While it may be surprising that Rorona is a mother, we don’t want to betray everyone’s expectations or destroy the feelings of fans who have watched her grow thus far, so please rest assured.”

- Gematsu.

Nice thank you Gust... but seem like Junzo Hosoi will write the story of this new Atelier (The same man who did Blue reflection) but I'm already  disagree with this game just for this official comment:

 

- "Since the world is so vast, there is no time limit."


Ok fine, the first Arland game without time limited, old Atelier fans are already dead for Gust and now just because you want create a "vast world" the best choice is eliminate the true essence of Atelier, do whatever you want Gust and destroy Atelier.

More Infos on the Story and the characters:

 

Quote

Story

A story of “inheritance” that revolves around “ancient records.”

The setting is Arklys, a town on the frontier of the Arland Republic.

An alchemist girl lives in this town. As the alchemist disciple of Piana, who is said to have aimlessly visited the town, the girl strives to master synthesis day after day. Her dream is straightforward: “to surpass the great alchemist that is my mother.” And her mother’s name—Rorolina Frixell.

This girl, who inherited the Frixell name, one day comes across a book. This book, which cannot be read by anyone other than herself, is incredibly difficult to understand. After managing to decipher the first page, she feels with certainty that some sort of power dwells within her.

Holding on to her natural curiosity and dreams, she makes the decision to decipher the book. That decision will eventually lead to the unraveling of the truth of not only Arklys, but of Arland as well.

■ The Environment Surrounding Rorona’s Daughter, Lulua

Lulua does not have her own Atelier. She uses the covered carriage atelier of her teacher to synthesize items.

 

Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland

Lulua wants to be a prominent alchemist like her mother Rorona, but her ability still has some way to go.

 

Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland

One day, Lulua comes across a book called “Alchemy Riddle.” This book of many mysteries, which is said can only be read by Lulua, will change her future and grant her great power.

 

Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland

■ Familiar Places of the Arland Region Reappear

Lulua will visit locations once traveled by Rorona, Totori, and Meruru. Do these places look familiar to you?

Yeah the last three silhouette are clearly Rorona, Totori and Meruru. But to me the explanation about Piana continue be few coherent. Now Gust said that she was a Totori's apprentice and that mean at least to me that if she learned alchemy with Totori only it can be possible after Totori's adventure finished (Totori game) or after Totori spent 6 years with Meruru and she return to her village or Piana find Totori in Meruru's kingdom or maybe Arland. 

If you play Meruru read this:

Spoiler

Of course Totori in Meruru game go back to Arland and maybe she could see Piana while she go around Arland, but she just go back for few days and with the teleport item to do two fast travels.

Spoiler

Atelier-Lulua-Charas_01-25-19.jpg

 

Here is an overview of each character:

Totooria Helmold

A student of Rorona, Totori is a highly capable alchemist. She is also Piana’s teacher, with whom she is carrying out activities to spread alchemy across the world. Recently, she is being mindful not to immediately say out loud what pops into her head.

 

Mimi Houllier von Schwarzlang

Totori’s childhood friend and a veteran adventurer who works as her convoy. Her spearmanship is top class in Arland. She is still as tsundere as ever.

As for whether Totori and Mimi will join the player’s party, Dengeki PlayStation does not feature any screenshots with the pair in the party.

Just in case anyone's interested, here's the entire prologue from the Weekly Famitsu demo:

 

 

The full demo is actually much longer than 48 minutes, since it contains not only the prologue but also the entire first chapter. I'm currently ~3 hours in and still haven't finished it yet. If you want to try it out for yourself, here's the link for the digital copy of the Weekly Famitsu issue which comes with a download code for the demo: https://bookwalker.jp/de35181525-2418-47b9-b658-487776ce2ec6/

I initially didn't plan to upload more footage, but since people seem to like it, here's another video of the first chapter. It directly continues from the prologue video posted above - after the screen goes black in the last few seconds of the first video, the next thing that comes up is the title card of the first chapter.

 

 

I also uploaded a short video of the title screen, so people can enjoy the short loop of music that plays there.
