Can someone explain to me how the hell Atelier Ryza got so big? From what I umderstand it started as a smallish RPG with enormous crafting mechanisms, but from the widespread scale of fanart for the character you'd think she was as big as some of the great female protagonists like 2B. Feels like I woke up one day and was told "this series is massive now", what exactly happened? Also are the games actually good?
Jesus she's massive
>>736384689For you
>>736384464I'm also curious about the quality of these games? Are they similar to Rune Factory?>>736384689>For you.png
I love massive thighs bros, they're my weakness
>>736384464It was a niche series but her fat thigh design went viral for some reason and then brought in loads of zoomers that just happened to be around at the right time. Not even Gust really knew how it happened, I guess it's just the power of something going viral. All I know is that I hate modern Atelier, including this whore.
Atelier games are generally mid, like they are not bad but extremely forgettable. But, they happen to have extremely appealing characters. Ryza is one of the most appealing one, before that only the Arland characters were that popular.
>>736384464That's just how it is OP, some characters just inexplicably become massive.
They're okay but im liking mana khemia more so far
>>736384464She is hot as fuck, that’s how
Nice zoomer speel but it's financially struggling and niche
>>736384464I have no idea why people got so obsessed with Ryza's design. She just looks like a fairly standard Atelier protagonist to me.>Also are the games actually good?The series is inconsistent and varies in quality. Some of them are genuinely quite good, and others don't have a whole lot of appeal outside of the characters. I think the Ryza games in particular are fairly middle of the road by the series' standards. I think the series has been going downhill for a while now, sadly.>>736384954>Are they similar to Rune Factory?Not really, no. They're JRPGs with a strong focus on preparation/crafting, since alchemy is pretty much always the primary way to get stronger. The better entries are fairly open-ended, and give you an over-arching goal at the beginning of the game that you're reasonably free to approach as you choose. They tend to have relarively low-stakes, character-driven stories, in which the protagonist is trying to achieve a personal goal rather than reacting to some villain or threat. Some of them also have some form of time management mechanic, which adds some long-term planning and optimization to them, among other things.
>>736385869Those tits and thighs are anything but standard
>>736385869Thanks for the breakdown, Atelier bro. Do they have a lot of combat or is it mainly just crafting?
>>736384464Ryza 1 filtered me. It was too janky for me. I also wasn't feeling the combat.
>>736386919That depends a bit on how much you seek it out, but I'd say there's a decent amount of combat in them. Most enemies can drop useful materials, and there are some enemies that need to be defeated for quest/plot reasons or just because they're in the way.
>>736384689Fpbp
>>736385709How did she get so fat?
>>736385869ryza looks the most "normal", which makes her seem approachable and easy going. she has soft features and light brown hair which give her the girl next door look. big thighs and shorts and her personality give her a tomboyish appeal. it seems like it would be easy to become her friend, moreso than the other protags.
>>736388301>Paladin lay on handsThanks again. If I can pick anyone up for super cheap or I feel like pirating one, I will try the series out.
>>736384464Gaming was in a phase of no attractive female characters until Ryza's fat ass and thighs got everyone's attention without looking like a creep. In reality characters like Totori are peak female design but it gives normies the 'ick.
>>736384464>what exactly happened?ryza sexo.>Also are the games actually good?no they're literally made for little girls. if you're not a little girl you wont enjoy them. as someone who got baited, don't get baited.
AGP gameLiteral AGP gameEven in the ASMR you play as a girl making love to her
>>736384464They got lucky in the west with ryza's design with the "thicc thighs" garbage meme. Explains why they kept doubling down and they gave her a nigger ass in the sequels to appeal to the amerimutt and black audience. Pretty sure they pandered to the same amerimutt audience who made 2b popular as wellGood thing is they tried to do the same with yumia and gave her a nigger ass and even aged her up and the game bombed
Klaudia also looks pretty cute guys...
>>736388712>no they're literally made for little girls>Atelier Ryza 2 is the first game in the franchise to be rated CERO C (15 years and up)
>>736388936she has negative ass you retarded schizo it's the one thing she doesn't have.
>>736388712i genuinely doubt anyone under the age of 10 let alone a female was ever interested in atelier riza let alone the atelier series as a whole.....maybe only in japan....
>>736384464>how'd ryza get so big?they eat well on her island>are her games good?I like 'em.
>>736384464>How>Ryza>So Big
>>736388712>he isn't a little Japanese girluhh, mods?
>>736388732retard obsessed with trannies>>736388936retard obsessed with niggers
>>736384464thighs, hot pants, draped blouse
>>736384464We need games with playable big ladies that aren't Skyrim
>>736385869I bet you wish time limits were back, don't you, faggot?
>>736390023Thick thighs + negative ass is such a cursed combo. Japan isn't learning fast enough.
So what are the best Atelier games, then?>>736390641You can kind of do it in Rimworld with the Big And Small mod.
Massive how? I don't know anyone else besides me that has played the games. It's just gooners like you OP
>>736392037Totori is the best
>>736384464damn the artist can't draw perspective for shityou can literally see the crag stick over the one that's supposed to be in the foreground
>>736384464It's because they stopped pandering to lolicons who don't spend on games or merchandise. Why pander to neckbeards with no disposable income when you can capture a wider audience with women that actually have sex appeal?
>>736384464I don't know how to break it you, Anon. But it was 100% about Ryza's fat thighs. That's literally it.Nothing about her game is outstanding, even in comparison to the rest of the Atelier series. She just caught on because of her delicious design.The fact that you think 2B is one of the "great female protagonists" is also funny, because the reason why her game sold so much and she got cross promoted in just about every game that ever does collabs, was ALSO because of her thighs and ass.Before Automata, Nier was the nichest of niche games. Maybe 1 out of every 100 JRPG fans had maybe heard of it before.
>>736384464Covid
>>736385869>She just looks like a fairly standard Atelier protagonist to me.She's really not. Ryza at the time stood out because of how blatantly lewd and different she was compared to the previous MCs. No dresses, sleeves or frilly skirts. We got simple clothes, fat tits, fat thighs with insane skindentation, zettai ryouiki and hotpants. I even remember KT advertising the wet clothes system and the reaction to the free coatless Ryza and Claudia skins. The entire thing was LEWD.
>>736384464I'm playing the first game right now and just got to the point we met Klaudia. Nothing special about the game play.However....>>Ryza has boob jiggle physicsI think I found OP's answer right there
>>736392037Rimworld is for a different type of autist than I am. I want more rpgs/ARPGs/action games with big ladies or size increases mechanics
>>736392037>So what are the best Atelier games, then?The Arland trilogy and Ayesha. Mana Khemia, Firis, and Sophie 2 are also fairly good.
>>736392434That's an edit to make her look huge
>>736395127Believe it or not I was actually trying to find the original because I remembered the perspective being shitty and making me laugh but I guess “promotional picture where Ryza looks big” would turn up an edit huh…
>>736392293>>736395091Thanks, lads.>>736393341That My Hero battle royale lets you play as Mount Lady. Yes, us big women enjoyers, especially gentle ones, have nothing outside of actual fetish games. It hurts, man.
>>736384464I wish they would remaster the mana khemia games. I dunno if they intentionally did it, but the first mana khemia is such a good parody of persona 3. It's like playing the Mel Brooks version of persona 3 like space balls was to star wars. I loved that shit.
>>736395907Mana Khemia was my first and honestly its still probably my favorite in the series in all but alchemy, which was still a pretty nice introduction to the system.
>>736395660Yeah it really sucks. Tons of stuff for shrink and footfags but nothing for big/growth/gentle chads
>>736396148The character where incredible and it's the funniest rpg I've ever played. It feels like a jrpg about nothing for most of its run and I love it. The combat system is also incredibly fun. I played ryza 1 recently and the combat in that game was a huge downgrade in comparison. Gust has definitely lost their touch but that's a lot of Japanese developers to be honest. Even Nintendo isn't really what it used to be.
>>736390641>>736392037Send all giant fags to the camps.
>>736396636Can't fit
>>736396636coward
>>736397335That's what the giant camps are for.
>>736388732>AGP game>Literal AGP gameare you trying to make me play it
>>736385869>I have no idea why people got so obsessed with Ryza's design. She just looks like a fairly standard Atelier protagonist to me.Cause she's got dat ass while the rest of them are sticks. I wish Ayesha had her body.
>>736384464Ryza herself has really good character design. That's pretty much it.Good character design can change everything.
