The PlayStation Vita version of Atelier Totori is titled Atelier Totori Plus ~The Adventure of Arland~. Koei Tecmo’s 2012 investor presentation lists it for Japan with a November 29 schedule. The original game, announced by NIS America in 2011, was a PlayStation 3 title developed by Gust; the available official sources do not establish what content or features changed for the Vita edition.
What is the Vita port of Atelier Totori called?
Koei Tecmo Holdings lists the Vita-era title as Atelier Totori Plus ~The Adventure of Arland~ in an investor presentation dated November 7, 2012. The title’s schedule is given as “Nov.29,” and the presentation identifies the schedule as Japan-specific. In context, that supports a Japanese schedule of November 29, 2012—not a worldwide launch date. Koei Tecmo Holdings’ November 7, 2012 presentation
