I wish the old Atelier games that still had time limits would update the character appearances for the child/teen characters at least yearly. I'm just reminded because the CGs are usually pretty good about it and you get peeks at older-looking Ayesha or Meruru but the character model still shows them at their youngest

Ryza only needs a little bit more to become the top selling Atelier of all time The surprising thing to me about this article is that Sophie is the current record holder. I expected it to be Rorona.

that actually surprises me too since at least L&S outsold Sophie over its lifetime as well or so I thought

Sophie is also the reigning most popular protagonist I think, unless there's been a new poll I missed. Ryza will likely unseat her once she's added, though.

sophie also had the most hits by far on pixiv for any atelier protagonist until ryza was announced (and overtook her like instantly), for reference

Putting your heroine in hotpants is a good way to drum up interest. I like Sophie in Sophie but less so in following appearances because how one-note character events become for everyone after a while. It just stretches the material way too thin for all the characters and I'd prefer less call backs and returnees for the series in general. Sophie being the number one seller doesn't surprise me since it was the first pc release and is not laden with 100+ bucks of nickel and dime dlc practices. You can just buy the entire game for a reasonable amount and you can't say that from Firis onward. Sivek fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jan 28, 2020 |

i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of sophie's 1st place ranking in the 2018 popularity poll stems from her being the only protagonist to actually meaningfully appear and play a role in all three games in her trilogy and she's a pretty great character in L&S not just because her character arc finally comes to a close when she turns plachta human and they tie the knot, but she gets to be a reliable supportive adult for the twin protagonists with a deadbeat dad

im so glad to be back to more traditional atelier combat for ayesha and eschatology (even if the penultimate mandatory boss kicked my rear end sideways like ten times before i actually finished the job)

I think the biggest thing Ryza needed was a shared inventory pool. I get that they wanted Ryza to carry more items than Lent because she's an alchemist but it's just not necessary, and "who has the lightning bomb" is just another thing to remember. The dex mechanic is really clever and I hope it comes back in future games.

I hate it cos I'm like 'time to improve my items!', oh wait Lila can no longer hold this cup because it's too good. I'll be honest I don't enjoy Ryza's combat a lot because most of the systems seem designed to restrict alchemy from being too good instead of being designed to be fun.

Finished Ryza finally. It's a decent game but I don't think I could bring myself to do any aftergame stuff. Crafting got kinda annoying for me as I got towards the end as well - I wish it was easier to auto craft without it using items that might be rare or precious. Just choosing "low quality" doesn't always mean that it'll work! The quests you get from the townsfolk feel like they kinda...end as well, I think that it'd mean more to me if I knew who Pamela was maybe? I get that she's from other games but I've not played them so she was lost on me a bit. I can't get over how weird the lady alchemist is, the one who uses claws. Why does she look like that?!

I'm about halfway through Ryza and only just realised that quality and traits determine how many elemental points an item has. I thought it was gonna be a circle. Oh well. Really enjoying the fast travel, it's very snappy and makes it so easy to go get more stuff.

One of the trophies in Ryza seems to be bugged and the rest require more grinding than I can be bothered with, so rip getting the platinum trophy in one of the few Atelier games that doesn't require following a guide or multiple playthroughs.

I'm about to put a bow on L&S and wanted to mess around with the older games a bit but the menu lag in Rorona pc is soooo bad. There's about two full seconds between hitting the menu button and it opening and this is a game where you will go into to menus constantly and I think dealing with this would drive me crazy. I can't wrap my head around how low effort koei-temco ports are, like I'm pretty sure they literally frankenstein ports to include the worst combination of 2d/3d assets available. They don't even bother to offer even the most minor and basic of graphical options.

I found a mod that reduces the menu lag a good bit. Here it is on the off chance this forum is still operational a year from now and someone uses the broken search engine looking for a fix for atelier rorona pc menu lag.

Getting back used to the old-style item crafting is hard since I really like the mysterious series crafting and spent a lot of time on it. The return of a good time limit is nice and keeps the game moving at a solid pace. I didn't plan on doing a full playthrough of this, just wanted to check out the port quality but once I got the menu lag toned down I ended playing for three hours straight and will likely play through the entire game at this point.

i actually watched the eschatology anime adaptation like two years ago and now that i'm actually playing the game i get to see where the anime took its liberties with the source material (e.g., escha not already knowing nio and wilbell, wilbell tagging along with escha and logy to confront the fire spirit at first, etc etc)

Sakurazuka posted:Not happy about this final boss in Ryza Most games are like a class that has pop quizzes and homework every week, to make sure you’re keeping up with the material... Atelier Ryza has a midterm and a final. Actually L&S was like that too. Do the older games have that structure as well, with major, serious boss fights at the middle and the end of the game, which are much harder than everything else? e: At least the transformation looks sweet.
