>coming out tomorrow>no one caresBros...
Boring MC.
>>721589389didn't yumia come out only a few months ago? was she that much of a flop that they are already rolling out a new protag?
>>721589389Im busy with silent hill f but i preordered because i know ill play the whole game with the preorder bonus
>>721589859Yes, yumia flopped
>Sequel no-one asked for of the gatcha>It's only been a few months since Yumia released >Practically zero advertisingGee, I wonder why nobdy cares
>>721589932erotic kot
>>721589389>male protagDROPPED
>>721589859>>721589948Yumia didn't flop. Her game is the fastest selling entry in the franchise
>>721589389Totori is in it so there's a fairly good chance I'm going to end up buying it eventually whether the actual game sucks or not.
>>721589389Wasn't this a gacha game?
>>721590096shame it sucked though
Bothers me how playable Ryza was an obvious layup, but they're obviously saving her for DLC. Just finished replaying FFX, so I might not bother with this for now, even though I was interested, especially since Pokemon is also coming out soon.
>>721590410A shame you have dogshit taste
>>721590360Yes, this a sequel to made into a real game for some reason.
No Ryza no buy
>>721590360They took the assets of the failed Gacha and recycled them into a proper offline game with a new story and protagonists.
>>721589389I was ready to play it at midnight but I see it's actually releasing way later than that. What the hell am I supposed to play until then?
I never played the mobile game so I don't even get how it's related to it. As far as I can tell they are just using the name "Resleriana" as a catch-all for this universe where all the Atelier protags exist simultaneously.
>>721590483it would have been great if the alchemy wasn't complete dogshit with zero depth
the catgirl is hotter than yumia
>>721589389>male on cover
I'll bite. What are the other MCs doing here? I love Sophie and her game, but I haven't played Totori OR Ayesha, and frankly, them being there kinda makes me not wanna pick it up until I do
>>721591059Your wrong opinion is noted
>>721590915I had enough fun with it, and the combat is by far the best in any of these games and alone would justify playing it
>>721590915meh, it's the first game of another trilogy I'm assuming. The alchemy can get better. What it really needs is restrictions to conflict with the open world so there's tension. Like a day/night system where you're severely hamstringed at night or something
>>721591432The combat also felt braindead, even on the hardest difficulty you can just button mash while avoiding the incredibly telegraphed attacks.
>no English LEno confidence in game it feels like
>>721589389Half the people think it's just the gacha game.The other half have no confidence after Yumia.Then there's simply the matter of timing. Everyone is releasing their games around now. There aren't many out there who would prioritize Atelier.
>>721591529You make it sound like this franchise is at all known for its diffiuclty. It isn't. I love Atelier, but it is the most piss easy JRPG franchise you can play that isn't Pokemon or Mario related. That not a knock against it either, that's the appeal. I don't give two fucks if its hard, I care that its sastifying, which it is and probably the most in the entire franchise
>>721589389I'm more interested in this than Yumia but its release is surrounded by a lot of other games that I'd rather play. I might check it out in a few months.
>>721590096Her game also has the biggest budget in the franchise. Seems that it completely disappeared off the radar after its launch.
>>721591851The satisfactions comes from autistically minmaxxing your alchemy, and the extremely simplistic alchemy in Yumia doesn't allow for that, unfortunately
>>721589389Do they crank these out every year now or what? I didn't even know the one Atelier game with the hag packing a fat ass came out.
>>721591280I only made it to the beginning of Chapter 7 in the gacha, so I don't know if it was explained in more detail, but essentially all the protagonists (and some nonprotags, I think) were sent from their own worlds to the world they're all in now. Alchemy is also different in their own worlds, apparently. Don't remember much else.
>>721592129The first game was on PS1 and it's basically been yearly since, yes. Sometimes it'll skip a year
>>721592029Which doesn't mean much, since it still cost pennies on the dime to make, like every game in this franchise. It's not like Yumia was free of competion either, literally the same fucking day it launched, Xenoblade X and that Bleach game did, to say nothing about AC Shadows, and even MH Wilds a few weeks back. It did pretty well given all it was stacked up against, something I can't say about Resleriana or that it'll be given that same mercy with nearly double the amount of games coming from every direction.
>>721592039Like >>721591495 said, its the fist game in its trilogy, there's time to grow, and for what it's worth, I didn't hate it.
Izana gets a short cameo!
>>721589389>fox ears>no tail What were they thinking?
>>721591851The games are fairly difficult on the higher difficulties and require you to actually put effort into your alchemy. It sounds to me like you play on lower difficulties if you really think they're that easy.
>>721592143I honestly really hate that.I hated it when FE Engage pulled this shit, I hated it when Summon Night 6 did this, I really hated when SMT has the balls to remind us about Demi-friend for the upteenth time. So I don't really feel that good about it being done here. Yeah, I get its a basically the gatcha on consoles now, but that doesn't make it any better.
>>721589389>Wanted the global audience with yumia and gave her a nigger ass go pander to americans>It flopped>Now back go normal looking ateliersThey can go fuck themselves those traitors, hope that garbage flops as well
>>721591160Just like the covers of Atelier Iris 1 and 2, both Mana Khemia games, Atelier Escha & Logy and all the Ryza games (but in those games Ryza is the only protagonist).
>>721592821One thing I appreciate is that the characters seemed to have actually acclimated to the new world, like some of them hold actual jobs. Which is better than them just being there to be there. Still, I mentioned getting to the start of Chapter 7, and there was like 23 or something when the English version went EoS, so could be a better or more interesting story somewhere in there.
>>721589389This was the stupid crossover gachaslop one, right? Or the sequel slash offline version, fuck if I know.No point. I don't buy crossover shit. It's all garbage unless it's focused on pure gameplay.
>>721592658If by "playing in the lower difficulties" you mean play normally, then sure. I'm sure being super autistic about your alchemy puts some extra challenge, and I'm also sure the game balances that towards the end, but that doesn't change that these games are designed to be easy. That is their appeal, there are lots of games designed like this but that doesn't change the core of what they are.
>>721593035It's not a sequel, it's a spin-off or console game set in the same universe as the gacha and it's a separate game.
>>721589389Pretty clear that Koei Tecmo/Gust deliberately want this game to fail to make Yumia look better. They want bigger budget Final Fantasy wannabes to headline the series and then feed low budget shit to their old fans to keep them happy. Problem is that they probably did not foresee Yumia underperforming and that would have opened up the possibility of their low budget shit actually outselling their high budget one.
>>721589997>>721590794Wait, it's related to a gacha?Are you just thrown into it and supposed to know what happened in there? Because FUCK gacha.
yumiacucks losted, worst gameplay in the series and Sophie/L&S still sold more.
>>721593140That changes absolutely nothing, you realize? My problem isn't purely gachashit, it's also crossovershit.
>>721592937>It floppedIt didn't though
>>721591851The franchise was difficult back in the Arland days when time limits actually mattered. Ever since they watered down and eventually removed the time limits it hasn't been difficult at all.
>>721592276>yearlyFucking hell, seriously? Thought there were a lot of atelier games but didn't think it was that often. It's like the yearly sports games or CoD releases.
>>721592937Kya tendiejeet
>>721593251>Muh time limitsEvery fucking time
>>721593153I'm fairly confident you won't 'need' to know what happened in the gacha. The protagonists are completely different people than the one's from the gacha. They just take place in the same world.
>>721593131yes, normal is one of the lower difficultiesAll you're telling me is that the previous games had both easy difficulties for casual players and actually hard difficulties for experienced players and that's no longer the case. And somehow this is a good thing.
>>721591059>sophie wearing heidi's outfitholy fucking shit
>>721593146>One of the best selling games in the franchise >underperformedWhy is every goddamn thread, for every franchise like this on this stupid board? No matter the series, I can't escape this mentality
B r 4 w h e n ?
>>721591813Making it connected to resleriana aka a gacha was retarded, and resleriana doesn't even appear till the dlc is released anyway.Not to mention ryza DX, people don't want to trust these games day one anymore
>>721593337Not really, sportsball games are the exact same shit over and over with a different year on the end.These are at least actual games.
>>721593495Nintendo India
>>721591813I haven't had any confidence in Gust since Koei Tecmo bought them.
>>721589389I never played any Atelier game
>>721593396Oh, alright. I guess that's... tolerable. Thanks for the info.
>>721593586rent free
>>721591280I'll post spoilers since only few can play the gacha anyway>Resna's(MC) teacher summoned everyone to help her reach a certain island>Whole thing is sus since the said teacher(along with the other one) can actually create 7 super strong homunculus that were once called heroes so reaching that certain island is easy or doable
>>721593460Except the core appeal was always the former, not the latter except for a certain group. Which while granted is also a signifant part of the fanbase, isn't what its aimed at. Even it wasn't up to par, there's still room to refine what they're aiming for, because that's sequels are supposed to do. Ryza improved with each sequel, and I have no reason to think why this would be any different.
So why's it called Resleriana if neither of the MCs are Resna? >It's in the same worldSo was the Arland trilogy but Meruru wasn't called Atelier Rorona 3.
>>721590087this, what the fuck are they thinking? every goddamn jrpg has the couple protags, atelier not having that made the series stand out
>>721593497Not gonna happen.
>>721593794no ryza 3 was shitopen world + level scaling should be a crimeThe game is also much too easy even on the highest difficulty for similar reasons as Yumia; it ties high level crafting to character progression instead of game progression. While it requires some autistic grinding you can make bombs that one shot pretty much every enemy before you even finish the tutorial. Even if you don't do this grind the point still stands the there's nothing useful to collect in the world. So if that's the case what's the point of exploring a big open world? You would think you have unique materials or traits that would help you craft better items (since that's one of the main reason to visit new locations in the previous games) but none of it matters since you've already solved all the fights in the game. So the only point is to touch the unique landmarks and watch the completion percentage go up which isn't very engaging at all.
>>721594327you mean except for that one time they did right?
>>721589389I want fox girl and not some dude, it's like watching porn and suddenly the camera focuses on the guys asshole, not thanks!
>>721594558And again, I do NOT give a single fuck about the difficulty in these games in the slightest. Because that was never a selling point. Which I think is the biggest impasse between us. You can scream to me about the alchemy being dumbed down, and how easy the game is. But I do not care because again, that was never it appeal. Finding materials to craft your recipes and dicking around in your cozy town with low stakes/classical adventures is. Can they improve this for later games? Sure, but I'm not going to hold it against them if they're lacking
atelier peak at ryza trilogy
>>721595398and I don't care that you're a retard who personally doesn't care. It WAS a selling point for the series, and it no longer is. No amount of repeating how it doesn't personally effect you will change that it was a real selling point among fans.
>>721595529Peaked at Mana Khemia actually but it was too much of a normal JRPG for most Atelier fans
>>721589389>called Atelier Lesbiana>MC is not a lesbianONE JOB
>>721590087>Troon can't fathom playing a man
>cat girl>no tail???
>>721597687she's a dog not a cat
>>721593495They announced that it sold 300k and ever since they have been silent. Sales almost certainly dropped off the face of the earth afterwards.
>>721595398You should give a fuck about difficulty, cause the main selling point of the series should be the alchemy. And how are you supposed to get the players to engage with the alchemy system if there's no difficulty for them to overcome?
>>721589389I miss when this game was for hebechads.
Are there any Atelier games that you would say have a really good story? I liked Ryza’s twist with the artificial island, but otherwise it was mostly just an acceptable story. Haven’t played the series really beyond that.
I would not call the gacha having good story since resleri is just atelier's version of one piece.
>>721590096Fastest selling, but you didn't mention best selling.The fact they kept quiet afterwards suggests sales we frontloaded
>>721589389did no one get this game early i can't find anything online about it other than official info
>>721600638threesome with kot and resna
>>721600638plenty of people say they totori for her character design but I think it has a good story, even if it is pretty basic
>>721589389>More like Atelier Reseteria... is what I'd like to say, but the boobs are too big and the shorts are too short and the other girls are too cute. So the game doesn't really deserve it
So they just got lucky with Ryza huh? The series just went back into niche weebshit after she's gone.
they lost me on yumia.this is not a hag franchise.
Yumia sold well but was not well liked due to the removal of tons of series staples and simplified alchemy to ungodlt poor levels
Sophiefags might be the biggest and most unhinged cult in atelier fanbase.
>>721591813I thought it was gacha AND I have no real confidence.
yumia was made to be bred. she has a good ass but she doesn't slut it up like ryza so it's not as apparent
>>721593001I didn't play those, they had a male on the cover
>>721602619>>721602674>>721602672Sorry but hags >>>>>>>> brats
sex the kot
i purchased this game for the cute kot and the traditional atelier gameplay, yumia was fine but turn based > action combat
>>721606882Yumia was an action game?
>>721589389Isn't it censored? Can't have a leotard showing cause it looks like panties. Dumbest thing about gacha is it was censored when the pretty girls are what matters in it. I tried the "game," that alchemy was not atelier. I'm sure this game actually will have alchemy but I don't want to support censored shit. I don't care about male protag, I'm playing atelier escha as Logy right now and I enjoyed Khemia mana, I just don't want to play as a hag.
>>721607925*mana khemiaI always mix up the order for some reason
>gonna be at work when the game unlockscurse these work hours
>>721603124Why are troons like this

>>721607925Why are millennials unable to use fucking mods?
>>721600996The problem with resleriana is that they sold it as a resleriana/Valeria game but turns out resle and Valeria have no chemistry at all and they already had their own partners
>>721589389Im super behind on this series. I hate anual JRPG series
>>721612350It's about giving money to a company who censors their product, you bet I will mod my pirated copy though.
>>721612493*biannual now
>>721612579So how come lewd games sell so little?
>>721612493You can just play any Atelier you like. You don't have to "catch up". This isn't Kiseki.
>>721612493You can start with any atelier arc, they are not connected outside of their arcs
>>721612635are you familiar with the gacha genre of games? might wanna look it up, it will blow your mind.
>>721612630>>721612718>>721612793Yeah Im going skip both Ryza 3 and Yumie cause the former is a sequel to 2 games I didn't like and the latter is open world shit. But ai still need to finish Sophie 2 first. I can play any game I want sure but I can't move onto a new game until I'm done with the one I'm currently playing
Sex with Rias while Totori watches
>>721612350>Just mod it bro!Faggots who unironically want customers to fix corporate products like you are part of the problem.>>721612635Because puritans keep destroying their ads channel. The ones that slipped away and got viral sold out like hot cake. See Nobeta.
>>721602353What makes you say that?
>>721602674>>721602672Yumia is really hot (and so is Nina), it's a shame they made her game so bad. Do you think there will be a Yumia 2 or will they move on. I hope they make the world more focused. If they want to do a more open map maybe they should think dark souls instead of Elden Ring.
>>721613313With the past 2 games I do wonder if they're just moving away from the trilogy structure they had before
>>721613313Ending of Yumia suggests the next Envisioned game will have a new protag.
>>721612906uoooh totori thigh gap...
>>721592937I can't imagine being so turbocucked that seeing a woman with a nice ass makes you think of niggers. Actually pathetic & completely mindraped by online porn garbage. You should legitimately feel ashamed that your first reaction to seeing an attractive woman is to think about other dudes.
How's the alchemy? I need to satisfy my inner autism after Sophie 2. Does it get better or not?
>>721616063Brace yourself.https://youtu.be/7apNcv4cvWw?t=145
>>721616226I'M GONNA COLOR MATCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>721616226Eeeeeh, I guess it presents you at least with some kind of puzzle to solve and optimize than whatever the fuck yumia was doing.
>>721615707Sniff
>>721615707
bump
>>721589389The cat ears turned me off and I won't buy any of the games regardless how good it may turn out.
>>721589389I'm excited. Just like that time we got Nelke and Lulua in one year.
>>721602353Where's my Firis merch? It ain't fair.
>>721589389>followup coomerbait with a heterosexual couple pair of leadsthey want the game to fail
>>721610018>>721599575Source? Also why does she have animal ears? Bio says she's human for some reason and does having non human ears actually matter in the story?
>>721616226>This kills the colorblind trannies
>>721622338Remember Escha and her moving tail? The ears are probably the same.
>>721617316Yumia was kino though? Play it on hardest difficulty and crafting made sense. If you play on any other difficulty, it'll look like a waste of time because you don't need the gains.
>>721589389>Modern Atelier Game>Male MCThey failed as a gacha and they will fail as a non-gacha. They did this to themselves
>>721623758E&L is kino though
>>721623758Seethe yuritroon
>>721589389Probably the first Atelier I will skip, at least until sale or somethingVery unappealing designs, it looks more like fangame than something proper Not to mention it's somehow related gacha which I avoided like plague
>>721623463Needing the stats doesn't make the crafting system any less boring.And I was playing on whatever the highest available difficulty was. not my fault they don't make the highest difficulty available on a fresh system.I might replay it on legendary or whatever the highest is called somewhere down the line though.
Will it be good tho?
>>721589859>>721589948>>721590096What really killed Yumia is the price point. Well, that and the game was pretty shit but the price did most of the damage.
>>721612906I shan't be buying due to the totori censorship.

I really need to start the series at some point, but these japanese companies keep releasing yearly entries it's hard to keep track of where to start
>>721594059It's what Resna calls her atelier after chapter 3 and it means "an illuminated place of gathering"
>>721589389Yumia sucked so bad that I stopped caring about Atelier
>>721630523Just start with Rorona
>>721592039>previous atelier games>spend a bunch of time synthing a bunch of ideal fodder and then feed it all at once>yumia>select a certain boost trait and then put in as few materials as possible to unlock stuff and get a base level of quality with a certain, re-synthing it over and over again I mean sure, it's been patched, but being able to go "hey ima make a single item that will cover the rest of the game really easy" was not very good. didn't stop me from doing it and just steamrolling the remainder of the game because i got bored
>>721589389I like ys and tales or rather play them because there's nothing else to play. Is atelier for me? Might try trails remake, too.
>>721633127Even without abusing that I broke the game absurdly hard once I got duplicating intermediates and even the braindead AI party members started demolishing shit to the point that even without my input fights didn't last longer than 10 seconds.
>>721589389Because i dont have the slightest idea what this game is supposed to be. It was a gacha so i assume the characters are all over the place. Is there story? Will it be a trilogy? The steam page also lists a shitton of paid dlc, even new characters. I let you guys test it for me maybe i buy it if it turns out to be good.
So does this shit have autistic min-max crafting like older games or is it sissy fag retard journo bait crafting like in Yumia?
>>721633372Atelier is different than Ys and Tales, outside of action combat, by being less intense stories with more focus on slice of life and what events occur within and around that.Atelier is probably a good next stop for you if you've gone so far down you play Ys and Tales simply because there's nothing else. Other than emulating dead franchises that is. So yeah you can probably head into Atelier next.
Is this a gacha like the first resleriana?
>>721600349We should be get a game where a 3x years old protagonist is on a quest to craft a potion to turn herself into a loli.

>>721589389Didn't we just get a new one of these in March?
fuck this crapnew artonelico when Gust?
>>721637518>wanting new artonelico from nu-GustHopefully never
They should scrap all these kusoge and make something like Sophie 2 again. Everyone in charge of Yumia should be demoted with an appropriate pay cut.

Totori wearing a swimsuit.

>>721589389Why is it called Atelier Resleriana if the female protagonist is a generic Ryza knockoff and not Resleriana at all?
>>721590096>fastest sellingHow about "best selling?" Anywhere close to that? No? What are the total numbers? Have they been released yet?

The guy looks like a Genshin reject and the girl looks like they're just trying to clone Ryza (again).
>>721589389This shit will flop solely because it received 0 advertisement. Hell, I haven't even watched a single trailer of it, all I know is that it's a non gacha sequel of the gacha.Is my wife Ayesha in it at least?
Sophie 3 when
>>721612350faggot. I do use mods in games. Talking to me about not using mods when I was just using one for Atelier Escha and Logy though I got bored and uninstalled it for now since nude mods get boring fast.

>>721641274One day they will make this game
>>721640712wtf shes literally just ryza with cat ears..
Dead threadThis game will flop
>>721589389More Yumia tier atelier? I hate Yumia so much. The battle is shit. And it's not even hard, it's just pure SHIT...
>>721642273No because this game has turn-based combat unlike Atelier Yumia.
>>721642273The gameplay is different. It's closer to Sophie or Lulua in terms of combat and alchemy. Well, the alchemy is closer to the mobile gacha. But it's more involved than Yumia.
>>721642273>Yumia tier atelierA phrase we are going to have to get used to.
>>721594327Hilarious since the best Atelier games had male protags.
>>721641612Never.
They betrayed their core fans. Those fans are still upset.
>>721589389Huh I thought this is gacha
>>721639883You can try any starting recent entries, like the remake of Atelier Marie for a older game experience, Ryza for an accessible fully finished trilogy on modern systems, one of the seventh gen entries like Atelier Sophie is extremely popular.If any of those options don't seem pleasing, there's so many entries, that doing a bit of research on where to start is bound to give at least a couple extra opinions. But Sophie seems the most popular entry point outside of newer entries like Ryza, imo.
>>721642764The prequel was the gacha one. This one is the sequel to that but it's a standalone game.
I am sure Koei Tecmo is so sad about all 10 of those core fans. At least they still have those millions of Ryza fans to cope with.
>>721640942>no ryza game anywhere in the top 3ryza bros...who am i kidding, there are no ryza bros lmao
I like Lulua. I think Lulua is peak modern Atelier in the sense that it's a relatively modern Atelier that still has traditional Atelier gameplay. Ryza 1 of course is good too but in different ways, does new things and feels like more of an evolution. Whereas Lulua feels like a perfection of the Mysterious Trilogy's formula (tetris alchemy removed of course)
yumia is fine.
>>721643234>who am i kidding, there are no ryza bros lmaoThere are, but they're in twitch chats and twitter posts (they don't play video games)
>>721643234I am the only ryza bro in the world then
>>721642820Why does Koei Tecmo feel entitled to post its dogshit opinions here? I don't give a fuck what you think, mr faceless corporation, now fuck off and take your dogshit products nobody wants with you
>>721643457Yumia is hot, Ryza is just a piggy that needs to diet
>>721643539More like pixiv. Ryza still gets a new non AI-slop porn at least weekly.
the good thing about the series is you get a lot of diff protagonists and not just 50 games with 1 MC.
Man I fucking love Atelier Lulua The Scion of Arland. I got a new computer in the holiday season of 2023 and a high resolution monitor and I decided to play a low budget JRPG of all things. So many good comfy memories from that holiday season all through Thanksgiving and New Years playing that game. Ahhhh.
>>721590096>Her game is the fastest sellingThis kind of rhetoric is very much loaded. And since it's been months and no follow up you can probably assume at this point it is no longer the fastest selling since keeping up that rate would lead to the best selling.
>>721643618yumia has no personality
>>721643773what game is thateven rean only got 4 games
>>721644539Ys I guess. Can't think of many others. Ohhh um Halo? None of these have 50 main entries of course.
>>721589389this game has 0 marketing and is releasing next to a ton of other games, i don't know what was their plan here
I don't know why you guys keep saying this game has no marketing. They even got on camera to promote it.
>>721644794There's marketing right here, you're posting in it. This thread is the marketing.
>>721645031Wow that's sad. How much do you think they're paying him? 20 yen?
>>721643796>and I decided to play a low budget JRPG of all thingsPeople often bring up the "what do you even need new hardware for" argument when talking about upgrading, but upgrading still lets you play older or worse looking games at higher fidelity and framerates. It's also a mental comfort when you stop having to worry about stressing your 8 year old GPU.
>>721589389They censored Totori so this game can die in a fire for all I care.
>>721645906>no panties>chromatic aberrationAbsolutely soulless.
>>721645906season pass gives her a bikini
>>721640384I like Sophie and I love Totori but they should have put some other characters in like Ayesha and Firis
>>721645906And it has the same age rating as Atelier Totori with ''Suggestive Themes'' as one of its content descriptors too...
>>721645906The final straw for me was when they censored Suelle's guns and made her use knives instead. SAD!
>>721646689>an in game camera allows players to zoom inBros...
>>721646792meant for >>721646686
>>721646792I guess you replied to the wrong person but yeah, the ESRB must be talking about the photo mode. That said, they explicitly mention ''clothed bodies'', so, unless it's a character with an outfit that reveals ''deep cleavage'', that's not saying much...it's a game with fanservice but a bit less than previous games.
Less than 10 hours...
>>721589389Atelier has been fucking garbage since the PS3 era.
someone give me a qrd. I've been meaning to get into the series soon and I was going to start with Sophie but might consider this if it's turn based
>>721646689WAIT WHAT
>>721646520It literally cover her more than the bikini she had in her own game.You're a KT shill, aren't you?
>>721590096>fastest sellingThat's a bullshit metric publishers pull out when they're too embarrassed about the total number of sales.
desu this game will prob be more fun than yumia despite the smaller budget
Can anyone tell me if there's an outfit that the feMC can wear from like pre-order or something that is a bit less... silly? I was playing yumia with the leisure wear outfit because it removed the boob frame effect, but here rias is kinda worse. I don't think my wife would even bother if there isn't an option, she just would be annoyed
Some reviews are out.
>>721589389Is this finally an Atlier that delivers on a couple and doesn't copout like Escha and Logy?
>>721640942Gay survey
>>721648289this one maybe?
>>721648941I haven't seen so much "these two will fuck in the endgame" energy from Atelier characters like these two after Logy and Escha ages ago.
I will pay for playable kot Izana and her goofy double hammers!
watching some japanese guy play it and rias is cute...
>>721649650How can human girls compete...
>>721647990In the gacha, Sue is using knives instead of guns. I don't know if I would call this censorship or just a whole character redesign, looking at the new outfit leads me to think it might not have been censorship but a redesign.
>>721649098>"these two will fuck in the endgame" energyNot really. The guy looks like a gayboy from those chinese gacha games.
Is this game going to be as wack as Nelke
>>721650210Never mind it's censorship. She has her regular outfit in the gacha but still using knives. It kinda doesn't matter though, at least not to me.
Atelier is better with action combat.
>>721650617I wouldn't know. In terms of non-traditional atelier combat, I have only tried Ryza 1, and I wouldn't call that action.
>>721650334This is how you out yourself, huh?
>>721643618>dietNo.
she looks so fucking smug and that thing between her cleavage really makes her tits stand out
>>721589389I have to finish Muv-Luv Alternative and then watch all the gacha story before.
>>721651308ryza had more soul than this
>>721651458No need to consolewar every game, poser
>>721589389Ryza had a better design
>>721651857Console?
>>721652023It's the exact same design but with cat ears. That's an improvement.
>>721651458>>721652023Obvious flamewarrior
>>721589389Meruru already was pretty bad and got carried by rorona and totori before it hard, but mystery and ryza were unbearable garbage
>>721652298I have to disagree. I liked the Mysterious trilogy and the 2 hours of Ryza 1 that I played.
Yumia and her mole was ugly. No wonder they rushed this game out fast.
>>721652740Yumia was cute
Has there ever been a Nobeta-like Atelier protagonist? I feel like the first modern Atelier game to do that will sell like hotcakes. No, rorona/totori are not Nobeta-like.
>>721652781I don't think cute is the right word for her. She isn't like Totori who is definitely designed to be cute with frilly dress like a princess. Yumia has this older office lady sexy design to her, and how much you like her depends on how much you like the mature office lady look (personally thought it wasn't as good as the frilly cute designs the girls usually got before Ryza).
>>721653045I meant like cute in the face, but yeah I know what you mean.
Give us Sophie 3 you dogs!
>>721653563As much as I complain about the "american sensibilities" of these newer Atelier protagonists, I would enjoy a Sophie game where she is as old as Yumia and similarly proportioned.
Dead franchise after the Ryza 3 ”open world, bloom to hell” shitshow, way to burn your house down completely after finally making some money
>>721654254I said it before I'll say it again, these Japanese companies need to give these franchises to people who love video games and are passionate about making good games. Same thing with the Neptunia franchise: so much wasted potential. Cute characters, interesting concepts, poorly executed.
I need to fluff Izana's ears.
>>721646689
>>721653563With Sophie X Plachta yurisex.
rias and slade are totally going to fuck
>>721656062Shame on you. Atelier is a good and upright series.
>>721656256They won't even hold hands.
>>721651308>>721636205nice bellybutton
>>721656347lewd acts like hand holding are reserved for after marriage
>>721653563Sophie 3 is nextit has to be next
We'll get Sophie 3 but Sophie gets turned into a loli like Rorona
Sophie's fat milkers.
>>721649098>Logy and EschaWell, did they?They didn't. Guess you're not good at reading energies.
>>721657960And Plachta becomes a hag with giant tits.
>>721640384Vayne's higher up on this than Roze and yet he's the one they made a 2*, still hate that shit. My tastes are pretty different than alot of fans though since Sophie and Totori were my least favorite protags out of they're respective trilogies
>>721640384How is Sophie so popular when her first game was pretty mid
>>721658862She's pretty cute and has a more general appeal than Totori who's mostly for lolicons.Both their games had issues, although I still liked Totori more.
>>721589389They make way too many low effort games, makes it hard for secondaries to get into the series
>>721643457yumia's design looks much better without the jacket
why does this stupid game release so late in the daydoesn't japan know I've got to play right now?!
>>721659165This one is them using all their work on the already EOS (in English at least) gacha that has all the characters from the previous games showing up. The titular character is a DLC party member.
>>721658503oh boy did they cram that shit into the Vita and DX ports.
Which Atelier game has the most fanservice?
>>721656370i didn't think much of rias design but after looking at her more the ears and exposed belly make it good
Apparently there was a fanart competition for Yumia, wonder if they’ll do the same for this or not.
>>721661401The Arland (Rorona, Totori, Meruru) games have the most in the way of little girls and panties and crap in game.All of the modern series have plenty of store cover variants, preorder items, andconvention merchandise, with the Escha and Logy and Ryza animes having additional weeb focused merch.
>>721662463like this promotional poster breaks people's brains kind of weeb merch
>>721662635Sexcha
>>721622149Too bad, resleri rarely show merchs that are not sophie or ryza.
>>721658862Better than yumia
>>721657960Everyone wants this
>>721658862It's a good game. Good music, good Sophie, good maps (for the Atelier series up to that point.) Also nostalgia
>>721658862It's more like she's really popular in japan as a character.I mean she tops most of polls i've seen lately in japan.I mean pic related is does not show all characters but still shows how powerful sophie's fanbase.
>>721662635wow it's literally nothing
I boughted the ultra giga whatever deluxe edition of yumia back when it released and I got burnt out 6 hours in, I'm going to wait until this goes on sale
>>721663646Why did Ryza do this?
>>721659165>>721661092You also conveniently forget to mention that the game is fucking censored.
>Someone posted roronaI can finally shitpost this.
>>721665176Starkbros...
>>721658503>Did they?They fucking did, anon. Where were you?
>>721642548Eschatology was a snoozefest with time limits so lenient it'd genuinely work better without, and whatever other male MC entries you may be thinking of hardly even qualify as Atelier games, let alone best. Unless you just don't actually like Atelier.
>>721664647maybe because no one gives a fuck except your faggot ass.You're one of those retarded "totori UOH" faggots that don't even play these games
>>721602619i really regret not getting the sophie one when that was available
>>721663646all this time i thought rorona and totori were way more popular...
>>721666906Those people who liked them grew up and probably became riajuu/wagecucks, anon.It's the cruel cycle of time.
>>721589389It's coming
>>721666906To be fair, totori was not included in the pol(resleri academy event) so we don't really know if her fanbase can fight toe to toe with ryza and sophie.
>>721667030Whoa whoa anon, don't need to get freaky. This is a Christian image board.
Wilbell a cute
>>721666906not really. Totori in particular is one of the least popular because her game kinda sucks.You only thought so because the non-players here think totori is a loli and just masturbate to her pics without playing the games.
>>721667030Denuver?
>>721666305I would play them if they weren't censored you fucking retard.Why the fuck would i support a company that disowned old Gust?You goddamn mindless consumer.
why the fuck did they use the same name as the gacha
>>721667469you don't even know if they're """"censored""" or not. You have never played any of them
>>721667185yes, she certainly is
>>721667582See >>721645906Sounds like you're projecting faggot shill.
>>721667185Why is she so flat
>>721667582Not that guy but it's pretty easy to check if something is censored or not
>>721589389My preorder should arrive on Monday. Silent Hill f should arrive tomorrow. It's gonna be a good month.
>>721667736>totorisee, youre one of those>>721667754and there is no reason to complain when he hasn't and wont play any of these games anyway
>>721667740Some girls are just better flat
>>721668106So you didn't even bother looking at the pic in my post?You're only showing that you're not playing these games.
>unlocks 3 hoursWHAT??? I thought it was tomorrow? SHIT
GUST games are low budget, low effort crap and always have been, enjoyed only anime addicts
>>721668225>You're only showing that you're not playing nah i'm not you faggot.
****HUGE SPOILER ALERT*** RIAS AND SLADE HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER!!!!
So is it better or worse than Yumia?
>>721668229Wish it was out now
>>721668382You couldn't even recognize Ryza 3 you disgusting shill.
>>721668508retard when I said totori i didn't mean the game but the characteryou faggot un-players only care about her and don't even play her game, just keep posting muh loli when she's not even one in the first place
>>721668324SAAR?
Slade is the first male character in the series with a shoujo design (i.e. meant to appeal to women). What are the implications of this?
>>721668409THEY EVEN HAVE TRIPLETS!!
>>721668654And yet, I posted a screenshot of Ryza, that you couldn't even recognize.You're only proving that you don't play these games, you're just here to defend censorship.
They really did throw yuri in the dumpster and slam the lid shut
>>721668409cute!
>>721668803this is ryza now? because that's the post you replied to me with >>721645906
>>721668702He's gonna get lots of pussy
Atelier Pregnancy: The red slut and the white chad
>>721668926See >>721667736 which contain both the Ryza pic and the link to Totori's post.But you're so stupid, you can only focus on one thing at a time.
>>721668803Sophie has really developed in all kinds of ways...
>>721667162>>721667267Sorry bros, Rias is so hot I couldn't help myself>>721668229
>>721668842>He doesn't know
>no hinako oats drawfagshit thread
Gust is so fucking dead, they've been reduced to produce slop after slop.
>>721669273Seggs
>>721666906There's a phenomenon where a vocal minority of fans perceive the Arland series as being more difficult than later entries due to the stricter time limits, and as a result pretend to like the Arland series a lot. more because >liking more difficult thing means I'm coolThey're a vocal minority though.
>>721669097It does have a vibe we haven't seen before, it's not like Eschatology or iris games
>>721670363A vocal minority that only really exists here because if you go to the sites the majority of the playerbase frequents like twitter and reddit, most people actually recommend not playing Arland, or at least not as your introduction to the series, because the time limits are just not fun.
Removing time limits was the best thing to ever happen to this franchise.
>>721670642Well. It's not that the time limits aren't fun, it's just that a newcomer to the series might be turned off by how strict they can be to a newcomer.
>>721670714Lulua was my first Atelier and because there's 0 agency, I got bored and dropped it. It just becomes Yet Another Grinding Game.
If they do Atelier Sophie 3 they need to bring Leon back her design is sex
I play these games a lot more when I'm unemployed, because the tasks and todo lists make me feel more productive.
>>721670714>Bring it back in Firis for some fucking reason>time limit is so lenient anyways that it may as well not exist The people who make these games are on drugs.
Make more kot babies.
Spell cat correctly
>>721670642The series is only fun with time limits, though.
>>721671745Sorry bud the numbers don't lie. You are a vocal minority.
>>721670714Time limits keep us honest.An alchemist without time limits, there is no telling what they will do.
>>721670714It's harder for me to actually finish the games without time limits because I end up just fucking around instead of being pushed forward by the clock
>>721640315It's an unmobile offline unfuckening of a mobile game.
>>721589389Totori is playable but not Meruru so I don't care.
I hope this game is good like Ryza
it hurts her game sold like crap. it was fun riding around on the broom to get to new areas and going underwater and just exploring in general and firis is sexy
>>721589389When will they let male protags save the series again?
>>721672431I keep hearing the ps2 games are awesome but I haven't gotten around to playing them yet.
How the fuck is there another atelier game didn't one recently just come out
>>721672592Its a spinoff. It'd be like comparing normal COD to COD Zombies.
>>721672538Iris 2 is probably my favorite atelier game.Iris 1 was good but super jankyIris 3 felt like a quick cash grab2s basically a proto mana khemia for its battle system.
>>721672430I need to go back and replay it. When it came out I was already burnt out from having just beaten Sophie. So I only got past the exam and then stopped playing, didn't really spend time with the world or do anything in depth.
>>721666110Kill yourself.
>>721672995So fucking rude. What the hell is the matter with you.
>>721672862i would definitely recommend revisiting it. the game really opens up post-exam
>>721672678Is it all Male MC with main heroine romance for the Iris series?
>>721672430She has secretly the best game in the franchiseIt's such a shame that the game was broken at release and the stupidly forgiving time limit filtered crayon eatersFuck, I'll search for a free camera mod and replay, it's been way too long
>>721589389Didn't Yumia just come out a few months aggro?!
>>721672995We need to go back to male alchemists saving princesses and romancing shopkeepers.And Im not joking
>>721673284Yes and there were way more threads then...
>>721650509This is honestly as bad as censoring the panties. Gust is fucking dead. Fuck KT as well.
Let me in
Redpill me about the gacha game, is anyone working on a private server?
>>7216740412 more hours to go
Not even /v/ can keep shilling this series after the Ryza and last game flopped.
>>721589389No thanks.Not my Totori.
>>721668875No frog posting on this board please
>>721674395>remove time limits>franchise dies a few games laterGood. Hope you nuatelierfags enjoyed Yumia's open world slop at the very least.
>>721674507why do you faggots keep parroting this when you KNOW atelier exists now solely thanks to Ryza's legs
i forgot some of firis' outfits also had effects in game too
>>721674725Here's your alive franchise dudeAnd this even happened before Yumia did some permanent damage to the franchiseAll Ryza did was bring tourists that have already moved to next coom product.
>>721674751I heard way too late that on ng+ (and you can start it after a bad end at the start of the game) you can get all the effects no matter which one you wear
>>721674507That's not why. It's the shift to older female protagonists that scared away Atelier fans.
>>721674981>gachayou're not the birghtest are you
>>721674751Hate her forehead.
The PS3 games (Arland, Dusk) really ruined this franchise permanently.
>>721675039>"muh Ryza's fat healthy thighs saved the franchise!!!!">gacha that lets you roll for Ryza's fat drumsticks dies in less than 1 yar>"AAAAAAAAA IT DOESN'T COUNTTTTT"(You) lost
>>721675090Atelier died after 2008.
>Last game was fastest selling ever and highest steam player count ever>New game coming out in the same year, indications are that 2 different lines (Mainline like Yumia) and classic (like this one) will be released for the first time ever and possibly *2 games every year* from now on>somehow this means the franchise is deadBeing a butthurt AGPtroon/yuritroon really makes you lose brain cells lmfao
Atelier was never good.
>>721650509That's lame thanks for the spoonfeed
>>721675056but that's one of her charm points
>>721675262Its not about the sales man.Yumia selling is whats gonna hurt the series the most, at least for me.Unironically they took out all the soul.Did you ever try reading the synthesis items or enemies?They all look like they were AI generated information listing, instead of the usual "characters in the game commenting on the enemy, item and location."The fact that alchemy was by far the smallest aspect in Yumia is absolutely despairing to me.If they continue along her path its just not Atelier anymore, again this is just me. I really loved the little things it had, to make up for what else it didnt in the grand sense.
>>721672430Which one is this? I've only played a single Atelier game
>>721675646For me the series is ruined because they have to go the hag route from now on
>>721675665Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey!
Man I love the terrible english dubs they used to put in these games. They were so bad that when other people were watching me play it made them laugh during certain dialogue scenes.
>>721675665It's the one only cool people play.
>>721675860>>721676021Alright I'll give it a try and if I don't like it, the series must not be for me.
>>721676021corneria is so sexy and monika is cute
>>721675970After they flopped pretty badly with Firis they realized they could just do Asia English and actually release it in the west.
>>721675970Sophie's dub was decent, but then they said "aw fuck it" right after.
>>721674751It was a fun mechanic.>>721675008If you do that, you're only cheating yourself.
Does GUST have the GUTS to make a Corneria-type protagonist?
>>721676475I recognized some talented actors in Sophie who just blatantly sounded like they were reading from a script. I don't know if the voice director was bad or if the actors weren't being paid enough to care or if they were kidnapped and forced to work on it.
>>721676514They'd have to actually do art/models of the main character at different ages/sizes and I doubt they would put in that much effort
man I don't have any money. I wish I had friends to gift this game to me.
>>721675646A classic Atelier game more focused on alchemy and with turd based combat is releasing in 30 minutes. Calm down. They're making both from now on.
I just saw a youtube review that said "A traditional Atelier fan's wet dream." This is gonna be good
>>721676774Just pirate it. I just beat Death End Request Code Z to the true ending all for free.
>>721676824No u.
>>721675970I played Ulrika's side first in MK2 and man, i couldn't stand that accent of hers. Pepperon's voice was incredibly painful too. Since then I've just gone with the jp voices only and even passed on Ayesha the first time around because it was English only
Izana doko
>>721672430Lol! Someone nonchalantly saying that Firis is sexy, even though it's a character with a high pitched voice regardless if it's her original Japanese voice or her English voice.
>>721677593Did you ever buy that super expensive costume from that last town?She goes from cutesy adventurer to literal hightownslut.
20 more minutes right?
>>721677240I miss my Izanas. Somehow managed to roll both bride and original back to back, loved them so much
>>721677663Actually, yes, I bough it. Firis is like ''I got these clothes because I wanted to look more mature'' and Liane is something like ''grown-up/mature clothes actually make you look cute'', that event is something along those lines.
>>721676917I found one that says the main difficulty in the crafting is transferring and combining the traits you want instead of being basically free like in most of the gamewhich is really all I've wanted since the original rorona
>>7216777211 hour after thatsteam cuts off minutes remaining so once the hour rolls over it'll start tracking minutes instead
>>721677663Is there an image of all of Firis' costumes like there is for Plachta?
>>721678106Oh, guess I have time to watch Towa no yuugure ep1 then kek
>>721678153
So is this some offline gacha or an actual good game.
>>721678278It's not a westoid artist unless it spams patreon links all over the place but the japanese ones are now spamming the DO NOT USE FOR AI watermarks all over lol
until they commit and put in a time limit again I can't care
Will we get a hot springs scene?
I think I"m going to draw my wife Sophie.
>>721678417I doubt it, and if it has a scene like that, one should expect something like the image you posted, in other words, something tame compared to previous games.
>>721678169Sadly not any that I could find
>>721678337It's $60 so it better not be a gacha.
>>721678392the time limit was there so the characters could retain their hebe status before the game endsnow that everyone is hags its irrelevant
>>721678417>characters are fully adult>still have to wear bikini burqasWhat the fuck is happening over at Gust
>>721678417Pathetic
>>721678586>the time limit was there so the characters could retain their hebe status before the game endsThis always bothered me, for example Totori is supposed to be 18 by the end of her game but still looks like a toddler.
>>721678858>anyone who looks younger than 40 is a toddlerAmericans hahaha. I love you guys but come on.
>>721678586the time limit was there to make the game interesting.
>>721678974Yeah because those games were so bad they needed time limits as a gimmick. Good thing Sophie's game doesn't have that problem.
>>721678629I remember when it came out anons were defending it 'b-b-because shes with men so of course it cant be appealing! I dont want her in a swimsuit or nude with men!"
>>721679110>she's with menAh so that's it. Now that I think about it, Yumia has had more revealing promo art, no?
>Rias's game>Thread is all Sophie fan artbased
>>721589389>Making a mainline game based of a dead Gacha (outside JP anyway)>Releasing it just a few months after YumiaI wonder what was going through they’re heads when making it, just seems like a choice all around honestly unless they weren’t confident with Yumia and wanted something else to back up their figures.
>>721679416Did they confirm this was a mainline game? I didn't get that impression at all.
>>721679405Sophie appears in the game...that and Rias' official art has been posted already.
>>721679416>few monthsmore like half a year
>>721679527Yes, it was confirmed when it was announced.
So i don't understand, is this a sequel or a remake of the gacha game?
This thread has reached the bump limit, nice.
>>721678417This reminds me of what happened to Fire Emblem Three Houses.Anyone have the pic?The one with Awakening? swimsuits and then 3H's potato sacks?
>>721679661It's neither. It just happens to feature the same main characters.
>>721679405Game's barely out the art will come
>>721679661Neither, it's a separate game set in the same universe as the gacha game, but it's not a gacha game (I mean, it costs $60 plus tax).
IMPLAYING THE GAME RIGHT NOW!!!
Still waiting...
>>721665176She tanked that btw.
>>721679661It just reuses assets from the gacha, nothing more.
>>721679661Think I read somewhere that it takes place at the same time as one of the chapters of the gacha game. So it's like a side story and that's why some characters aren't around, they're busy doing other shit
>Not even out on steam yet>Already crackedHow does this even happen? Youtubers with early access codes leaking it to fitgirl or something?
Make a new thread, I'm at work!
>>721679929Do barrels still exist?
