Curator Notes

Despite its number, Atelier Iris 3 shares only a name with the two games before it. Its Iris is a different character, its world is built from Alterworlds reached through guild missions, and its party is pared down to three — a tighter, faster game than the earlier entries. Gust released it in Japan in June 2006 as Atelier Iris: Grand Fantasm. NIS America’s North American edition followed on May 29, 2007, the last of the Atelier Iris trilogy to reach this region. The filing closes the Atelier Iris trilogy on the shelf, under the same Atelier series authority as the Mana Khemia games that followed.

Collection Documentation

Purchased factory sealed and opened for custody while assembling the Gust PlayStation 2 shelf. The copy is mint and complete in box. The retained object is the standard North American PlayStation 2 edition published by NIS America (SLUS-21564), with manual and cover insert, kept as the reference copy for this filing. The reference photograph records the seven Gust PlayStation 2 holdings together, as filed in the Collection Hall under synthesis.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Sony PlayStation 2; compatible North American PlayStation hardware
Original Hardware: Sony PlayStation 2 · NTSC-U/C
Playback Compatibility: Pressed for North American PlayStation 2 consoles. The retained disc remains the primary access copy.
Preservation Concerns: Optical-disc aging and surface damage remain the principal risks. The disc is stored upright in its original case under stable, dry conditions; printed materials remain housed with the copy.
Edition History: First issued in Japan by Gust on June 29, 2006 as イリスのアトリエグランファンタズム. The North American NIS America localization followed on May 29, 2007 (SLUS-21564). Australian and European releases by THQ and Koei later in 2007 are separate editions and are not this filing.
Access Status: The original physical edition is out of print and circulates through the secondary market. No current digital edition replaces this North American reference copy.
