This was my first Atelier game, so at first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it or not. I ended up loving it - it works great as a "slice of life" RPG where the characters aren't really facing world-shattering catastrophes, they aren't the "chosen ones", and the stakes are pretty low. The game's progression was stellar, the items were fun to find and the areas you find them were equally fun to explore. The crafting system was obviously the game's highlight - but the reason for needing to craft stuff was always a huge pull for me as the main story and side quests stayed fun and interesting throughout.
Hopefully they will also print another Switch run of the first game. It's like $200 on ebay...
Tried to get the first game on switch for a long while. Then i saw today that my physical copy actually shipped.
Very interested to play it. Always loved the crafting aspect of the older Atelier games.
I'm guessing because Ryza was the best selling Atelier game and lot of people liked Ryza herself.
Now that's the kind of technical analysis we need
Ryza was my first Atelier game and the reason I enjoyed it because how fun and rewarding to explore. there is nice gameplay loop of gathering stuff so you can craft items that helps you in battle and later on crating items that let you explore more places.
Bigger than her head is the right size
lol who cares about Ryza? If Lila is back I'll get it.
Try Ayesha.Ryza was my first Atelier game and the reason I enjoyed it because how fun and rewarding to explore. there is nice gameplay loop of gathering stuff so you can craft items that helps you in battle and later on crating items that let you explore more places.
Also even act of gathering items is fun because based on which tools you use you get different stuff for your crafting, so it becomes even more fun to go back previous places with new tool to get different stuff.
edit: Also the game is just gorgeous!
You mean this?
Yep. Turn based, better music and characters. You might not like the fact your actions take up time in game though.You mean this?
I might, in fact I might try out other Atelier games since I enjoyed Ryza vey much.
No, I don't mind that, I enjoyed Hashino's Persona series and Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Like picking up some grass takes up hours...in game. Even then you should be able to get the good ending on your first playthrough.
I'm guessing the time is divided by morning, afternoon and night?
More like you can miss events with characters (or even getting them) by doing random battles/synthesizing items ect. You'll get what I mean once you play it.
So you can't do everything first playthrough, I'm gonna give it try anyway, I don't mind time managements in my games.
You can. I wasn't able too because I wasted too much time making bombs but eventually I did.
