A UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita UpdatedRerelease titled ''"Atelier Totori Plus"'' was released in Japan in November 2012, and American/European territories in March 2013 over the UsefulNotes/PlaystationNetwork. It made headlines when [[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/02/25/looks-like-tecmo-koei-will-publish-atelier-totori-the-adventurer-of-arland-plus-in-the-west/ the Australian Classification Board classified it]] as R18+[[labelnote:*]]Restricted to 18 or older; this rating was introduced in January 2013 as a compromise to simply ''banning games outright''.[[/labelnote]] for "High Impact Violence" and "References to sexual violence", despite the fact that the original version of the game was rated as a relatively innocent PG. (In contrast, [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications the ESRB]] rated ''Totori Plus'' as T, and PEGI gave it a "12".) Another rerelease, ''Atelier Totori DX'', was released on September 20, 2018 in Japan and December 4, 2018 in North America as part of the ''Atelier Arland Series Deluxe Pack'' for UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}.

''Atelier Totori'' is the second ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' game in the Arland series, preceded by ''VideoGame/AtelierRoronaTheAlchemistOfArland'' and succeeded by ''VideoGame/AtelierMeruruTheApprenticeOfArland''. It was released in 2010 and in late 2011 in the West. Like many Atelier games, it can be described as one-part {{JRPG}}, one-part TimeManagementGame and three-parts ItemCrafting with a dollop of {{Moe}} for flavour.

* SuddenSoundtrackStop: When Peter's called a pansy by Gino in the beginning, the soundtrack stops when Peter registers it:
--> '''Peter:''' P-Pansy?!\\
'''Gino:''' I don't really get what it means, but it rolls off the tongue. Pansy.\\
I think I'll just call you Pansy from now on, like a nickname.\\
'''Peter:''' [[VisibleSilence ...]]\\
'''Gino:''' Something the matter, Pansy?\\
'''Totori:''' M-Maybe you should quit it...\\
He looks like he's frozen in shock.\\
'''Gino:''' Why? What's so shocking about me giving him a nickname?\\
'''Totori:''' Geez. Come on, let's go, okay?

* DrowningMySorrows: When meeting Gerhard for the first time, after Totori causes the game's opening explosion he jokes about the option:
--> '''Gerhard:''' Did you need something?\\
You here to drink your problems away?\\
'''Totori:''' N-No! I'm still too young for that.\\
I just wanted to drop by for a bit.\\
'''Gerhard:''' A tavern's no place for kids, you know?\\
'''Gino:''' Oh, who cares about that?\\
It's not like you have any real customers to tend.

Per this, Talking To Himself has been merged with Acting For Two


* ActorAllusion: A pair of side events revolves around Totori telling Hagel that he’s very similar to Gerhard. Hagel insists on meeting him. The two finally do meet and are struck by [[TalkingToHimself how similar they sound]]. This is an injoke about both characters sharing a voice actor, a joke that is present in both the Japanese and English track.

* TalkingToYourself: Played with. Hagel and Gerhard had the same voice actor, when Totori comments Hagel had the same voice as Gerhard, both of them meet up and compare their voice with each other. It becomes a BrainBleach for Totori.
