I just bought the RyzaDX trilogy on switch 2!
Wait this general was dead when the global Resleriana EoS
>>547374865It died yeh, I thought with all the recent /v/ threads and how much has released for the series it could come back maybe (pls pls pls)
yuripeak
It would have been great if the OP said ''revival edition''.Anyway, I don't plan to post here after making this post (at least for some hours) but I want to say, I like Firis.
>>547377563That would have been a good idea, I like firis alot too! She was super cute and travelling around the world in her game felt really magical!
post lesbians
>>547377931Undoubtedly
Honestly, I just started playing Ryza 1 dx on switch 2, I forgot how pretty the early environments are in this game. Can't play too much before work but will post a lot of screens this weekend while I play.
>>547377931Shallotte my beloved
>>547379232...the cuck chair
Such pretty games. Ryza yapping alot really makes the games feel like an active story! It makes the characters feel more real and alive!
All games from now on should be dual protagonists like Eschatology and Resleriana. Prove me wrong.
>>547382978I do like the concept but a bit of variety like having 2 sisters or like a young alchemist bringing her dad along for the adventure cause he is too worried about her would be so much more fun than typical hetslop
>>547383387You had me until "hetslop," come on man let's not go there
>>547382978>ratchet and clank
>>547383889I'm not against it at all, Its nice now and again. But if it was every game it would get tiring, sorry for using a slop term.
>>547384049Fair enough. Sister/sister, sister and brother, daughter and dad, daughter and mom could all be fun
>>547384852I love the idea of single dad going on an adventure with his daughter purely because he knows she is clumsy and can't trust her to be safe. He has a big beard and he is jacked wood cutter vibe, treats everyone like kids that he has to protect even though they are all like 20.
>>547384852They look like something embarassing happened between them
Atelier noob here. What is a good starting point to jump into?
reminder of what we lost
>>547385640Either rorona, ayesha, sophie 1 or Ryza 1. all of them are trilogys so you can enjoy a pretty consistent storyline/world.
>>547385640Resleriana if you want a traditional Atelier game and it introduces you to a lot of the most popular characters from other games.Yumia if you want the current evolution of the mainline games
>Threads picking upI gotta head to work please dont let the thread die in 10 hours
>>547386254I've had my fill of shitting on that ASMR trash, down to get back to talking about the actual games
>>547382978Fixed the image to be more realistic :)
Why is Atelier so LGBT?
>>547386012>>547386038Thanks you two!Been wanting to dive into one of these games for a while now, but had no idea which one. I figure a traditional game to start and see how the series evolved/changed from there
Halloween was a while back but fuck it
>>547386962Resleriana is probably your best bet then! Hope you have fun anon!
It was hilarious how he just randomly showed up at the end of the game right in the middle of the final eventsIt may have been just because I didn't trigger his quest until then but the timing was so random
>>547388313Holy shit he is massive...Sophie could literally fit inside his torso
My first post for the thread in almost 3 hours.
I bought my first open back headphones just to listen to the Ryza 3 OST but for some reason I'm not really interested in playing the games
https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/547373723/#547394471I'll keep this thread alive, btw.
The first post that isn't related to Atelier in the thread...Hinako's undies.>>547400135It seems that this post didn't bump the thread.
>>547393885Her boobs aren't that big
>>547405143I know, it's fan art. This official art is more accurate to how they really are.
I wanted to take a longer break after binging two Arland games but oh well.
>>547379419Lol.
Do you support Rias and Slade, /agg/ bros?
>>547412478He never stood a chance.
>>547412478I don't plan to get their game but if they have a canon relationship, that's fine, nothing wrong with that.
>>547386505What was the ASMR about?
Where is my atelier harem gaimu....
>>547418794In few words, ASMR content where Ryza is talking with Klaudia.
So I still have my global Resleriana progress that I've spent money backed up before it was EoS. There are still no one making private server of it?
>>547420013No, there isn't a private server yet.
>>547426443That's a big fish.
Someone make me a mod to make Claudia's tits more reasonably sized and shaped in Yumia. I'll send you a few bucks or something if there is a way to do it anonymously.The torpedo design is just terrible and distracting. Yumia's and Isla's boobs are great.
I just can't enjoy Firis...
>>547430536Why not?
>>547429375I *think* you meant Nina Friede. Yeah, some people would say that ''too big'' is a thing that can happen, some would say ''no such thing as too big'' but other people disagree of course and yeah, there are *some* characters in games developed by gust that have not even large, huge breasts. Kokoro Utsubo, Lilysse and Nina Friede...they have huge chests, I swear their breasts are bigger than Drossel's for example...
>>547430704>Nina Friede...Yeah. I don't know how I hallucinated that her name is Claudia.I don't even dislike huge breasts. Senran Kagura girls for example have huge boobs and they have a great shape and are hot.This is just a weird design. They are conical.
>>547431223Weird that after the revelation that Nina is a homonculus that Hakase created after her own daughter, she looks like a normal young girl in the flashback. That means homonculus Nina probably implanted her chest
>>547430670I don't like the world in Firis so i find exploring it to be a chore and learning recipes in Mysterious games is pretty tedious in general
>>547431509Yeah, in that scene you see she got her present torpedo loadout somewhere around when they were "doing whatever they could to stay hidden" lol
>>547386254Well, considering the activity here and the fact that this post will bump the thread...success.
>>547433706Thanks anon. I just finished work!
Yumia.
>>547437372Her design really is pretty good. I still prefer the slimmer smaller atelier girls but Yumia and Ryza are well designed and very pretty!
She's so excited!!
How's Nights of Azure?
>>547438892The fact that no one ever talks about the gameplay should tell you enough
>>547438892I forgot that game was made by gust, I instinctively thought it was compile heart.
...dead already?
>>547443493It's the middle of the night anon.
>>5474437989 am for me, still yet to go to bed
>>547443964Damn that's hardcore. I can't do that anymore, 1:15am here and getting pretty sleepy
>>547444742I work the night shift and I gotta stay up today, the wifes getting a train to her mums in a couple hours so I gotta wake her up from a nap. She got me the Ryza dx trilogy and left me 50 bucks for a pizza bless my yurilife!
Raze sends his regards
>>547377931
>>547446240They are cute, reminds me how sad I am that blue reflection 1 isnt on switch
As a PC fag, how do I get this outfit on Sophie 2? They gave it away on console but not on Steam.
Ok i go sleep now, thread live just long enough for me to post ryza screens pls>>547447757That ones cute never seen it before!
>>547373723Sophie 2 not shown. I'm ready for my atelier bingefest.
>>547455248Cool.
>>547446240I like these two a lot.
>>547438892I really like it but maybe I can say that because I prefer action RPGs, at least usually. Good graphics, great music and enjoyable gameplay in my opinion.
Totori.
>>547473392Imagine the Kanchou
Any advice on how to make broken as shit items in Sophie 2? Just started.
>>547473392>people in her game keep mocking her for lacking sex appealThe Shit Taste of Arland
>>547485842Hey, most people in Arland probably prefer girls like Rorona and Pamela, that's all.
Well, 24 hours (or 1 day) since this thread was created, oh yeah! If anyone asks me, I say ''a slow general or not very active general is still a general'', even without considering the possibility that this may slowly get more popular or active with time (Atelier is here to stay), as I said, a slow general is still a general, nothing wrong if it's 4 or 5 people at most, that's fine and, again, the number can increase with time...Here's The Night, Servans, and I for the occasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehbqwou0AeE
>>547413447How could he say no?
>>547466467Yuki in particular was one of my favorites in Second Light. Any scene with her or Kirara was sure to be amusing or interesting.
>>547492186I honestly think I wouldn't like Second Light even half as much if Yuki didn't exist
Psssh...nothin personnel, kid.
>>547493505At least the game had a great boss theme. Different from the rest of the music in the games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcmTGOd2ZuA
>>547493505He's so cool and awesome!
>>547490407Cleavage.
>starting with anything aside Atelier Iris or Mana Khemia
>>547505928I liked Mana Khemia, but I couldn't get into Iris. I didn't care all that much for Mana Khemia 2, either.
>>547512089Someone was creative with the photo mode.
>>547496416Rias maxed out this skill
She cute.
>>547524872Looks pretty generic without her main outfit
>>547487942Arland is the big titty nation. No wonder Esty stayed single.
>>547528030I was under the impression that Totori's sister is also flat chested and she's popular with men.
>>547528510Ceci is still well endowed.
>>547529082Obviously more than her sister, yeah. Ceci is comparable to Rorona at least.
The Atelier games are on sale on Steam. I don't know which ones to buy as a newcomer
>>547534824>>547386038
>>547534824I recommend Atelier Sophie (the first one), it's a good game for a newcomer and I consider it a better game than Atelier Firis, a little. I never played Sophie 2 because it doesn't have English voices (meh...) but Sophie 1 is a good entry point and then you can play the other Mysterious games if you like it.
Is the allegation that Raze is dating Totori true?
Does anyone have a guide to play the jp ver of the gacha with english translation? I remember one existing
What 3 things would a talking Ryza plush doll say when squished?
>Resleri S2>resna visit some island>help some citizen with their issues>getting in an argument/battle with one of her teacher's super homunculus(including this pic related fag boy) cause her mission is just to reach a certain island and helping people is not a part of it>fight some apexi >problem solved>repeat the first stepYeah, it is just Atelier's version of One Piece.

>>547548310Don't worry were just "handling a quest" bro
>>547549129holy shit thank you! Time to steal wifes paycheck and spam whale on it
>>547550225Lol.
Bump.
>>547550225Fun sized
>>547565092I don't get it.
>>547565893>4'9''>Imagine
I tried the first Ryza game but dropped it early because I couldn’t get into the combat. Is Yumia fun? I looked online and the reviews look really positive about the open world format and the combat system but I remember seeing some /v/ threads from atelier fans really panning the game.
>>547573819It depends on who you ask, yes.
>>547542705You’d think Blue Reflection was a game about high school lingerie modeling based on the screenshots of it that get posted. I swear I’ve never seen some of these girls wearing clothes.
Tranime
>>547573819The active combat does kinda grate on me too, but the characters are enough to make me stay desu
Almost 48 hours of this thread, oh yeah.
>>547548310>Resleriana keeps up being the NTR instalmentMimisisters...Ginobros...Look away...
>>547567342Okay, I think I get it now.
I love it when it's clear the loc didn't actually have the game in front of themAnyway I hate having to go back to a game months after playing it to do the DLC thanks
>>547595549Is all the Yumia DLC done releasing? I've been waiting
>>547598008They haven't released DX yet :^)
>>547573819I found it very fun and I am considering playing a NG+ soon.
>>547578738The game isn't really as fan service heavy as you might imagine from all the underwear posting, and what's there doesn't feel forced or out of place (barring DLC costumes and such, anyway.)
Ryza was the last game I played before they started pandering to ESG. How has the franchise been since then?
Can you tell the difference between Yuri and anime-knockoff-Yuri?
>>547601498They have had some sales and every game developed by Gust since then has had fanservice...but maybe not like the other games. Fun fact. Blue Reflection, not counting re-releases or new versions of games that already exist, was the last game developed by Gust that received the content descriptor ''Partial Nudity'', ''Partial Nudity'' is a descriptor that other games developed by Gust also have (Atelier Firis and Nights of Azure are other examples), well...the first Blue Reflection was the last game with that content descriptor...every game since then, only the descriptor ''Suggestive Themes'' at most.
Related to the post above.
>>547601498Ryza was the only ESG game though. The only game with an obese protagonist, with Yumia and Resleriana we are back to classically beautiful women
Did anyone make 4th region gear in Yumia? I just maxed out the 3rd region gear which was more than enough.
>>547578738It's just the fact that the game has (mostly optional) scenes of characters in lingerie, and the fact that Gust bothered to give each girl unique underwear is a sign of dedication and a nice touch, for the most part each girl wears fitting underwear if one considers the personality of each girl and what not.The characters, to an extent, do look more homogenous or similar with the clothes they wear by default, but despite the slight differences, yes, these 5 characters go to the same high school...if one considers the PS Vita version one can joke that Hinako's school provided her with pajamas considering that her pajamas have the ''HM'' logo but only in the PS Vita version.As already mentioned, one should be able to play the first game with the girls wearing only underwear with mods.
>>547605407Eye color is what sets them apart.
Oh cool there's an atelier thread nowHopefully this thread doesn't die so I can get some help going through the older games
>>547609504ehh Ryza looks cuter than YumiaEvery character in Yumia looks boring and unappealing
>>547617338That may be your opinion but there is objective evidence that the majority view is the opposite, the characters were heavily advertised before release especially Yumia and Isla and the game was the fastest selling Atelier ever, suggesting that the character designs encouraged people to play.
>>547617832>and the game was the fastest selling Atelier ever,ehhh really? Ryza was literally everywhere ever but I haven't heard a peep about Yumia. I've heard more about Resleriana than Yumia personally.
>>547386559>>5473829781 grill protag and 5 BBCs. also a cuck chair mode would be nice-su.
>>547618015yep https://x.com/KoeiTecmoUS/status/1905772140781301832/Resleriana is a spinoff and had no marketing, it did well for its low budget but certainly sold a lot less than Yumia.
>>547618715I can believe it, even the genshin addict normalfag me and the wife rent a room too played the demo of Yumia and said it was alright and thought about buying it.
>>547618715>no marketing,the "free" gacha was the marketing.
>>547618715Well if it sold then good for them but I definitely believe Ryza was a ton more viral and everywhere ever since nobody could ever stop talking about Ryza's thighs or how Atelier was switching to fanservice but Yumia hasn't had that impact.Also yeah, it was odd how Resleriana just dropped with zero marketing.>>547619204The gacha is the worst part of Resleriana and I really hate how they did things because the released PC game is actually the 2nd game in the entry and it expects you to know the characters and story from the first one. Except, you can't read it or play it because the English version of Resleriana ended service so the only way one could get the story is if you really cared and watched it on youtube or knew Japanese and started on the JP server for the story.
>>547619449Generating discussion, being a good game, and being a high selling game are all separate things(Not pictured: Resleriana with ~2.5k peak players)
I think Yumia is a lot better as a game but Resleriana has a much better cast of characters
>>547620564It's not a fair comparison with Resleriana's characters mostly being ones popular from other games already and Yumia's all being original.
I was so sad when they introduced me to the characters from the first game in Resleriana because Resna and Izana looked pretty cute but their game is dead forever
I have a question for you all, is there any other jrpg series that you play? or any other games that you like that feel like atelier ? I play the dragon quest games as well cause they are simple and enjoyable.
>>547627751I beat Witch Spring 3 [Re:fine] a while ago, the Witch Spring (or WitchSpring) games feel like Atelier.
>>547628675looks cute! added to my wishlist
>>547629010On another note, Witch Spring R is a game I have played but haven't finished yet (maybe early next year at the latest) but the first impression is that it's even better than Witch Spring 3, that said, I like Witch Spring 3 on Switch too and I consider it a game worth playing especially considering its MSRP, it's easy to get it for less than $40 and yeah, it's a turn-based RPG with alchemy or crafting like Atelier, kind of simple or less complex than Atelier but it's a fun and kind of relaxing game like the rest of the series I suppose.
>>547627751Mainly just pokemon games pre-NSW and MMOs. Atelier reminds me of MMOs due to the shared satisfaction of crafting OP gear to get a big advantage
>>547627751The Swordcraft Story games were similar in some ways, and pretty enjoyable. Dark Cloud 2 is also vaguely reminiscent. Star Ocean 2 has a pretty different tone and structure, but it has crafting systems and a strong focus on the characters.I've played a lot of JRPGs. My favorites are generally ones with unorthodox mechanics and a strong focus on exploration, like some of the Metal Max and SaGa games. I like it when the player is given a broad overarching objective and then essentially dropped into the world to approach it as they please, which is also more or less how my favorite Atelier games work.
>>547419659>The extra episodes include tingly ear cleaning ASMR and the likeThat is so gay if its Klaudia.
>>547445257I miss Mana Khemia a lot.
>>547631594It's (You) who becomes Klaudia.
>>547631779Nah thats dumb. I wish Atelier were less gay for once.
>>547632150Play the games with male MCs like Eschalogy or Resleriana that do straight romances.
>>547632150It's tasteless as shit and insulting to the characters whether you like the ship or not. I refunded the DX releases when this dropped
Little known fact, Heiter was secretly relieved when Slade showed up and Rias finally gave him some peace...
>>547634714I don't remember Heiter but, okay.
>>547627751Ever since Resleriana EoS, I'm switching to Heaven Burns Red because it's illustrated by Yuugen and my Yuri fix. There's an alchemist character but she's more like Wilbell.
>>547634714GIWTWM
>>547640598I play this too, its a lot of fun. I do wish it was just a vn though and not a gacha
Ryza.. get away from the goat...
Hinako's chest is above average.
>>547419659>>547631779Absolutely disgusting. If you’re going to pander to ASMRfags, at least pander to its audience,which is predominantly not yurifags who suffer from agp.
>>547648210Oh come on, I thought we could escape from this in a general and not a thread on v. If you don't like yuri, that's fine, you don't have to like it but don't be so negative about it or try to ruin the fun of someone else, at least say ''yuri fans'' instead of ''yurifags''.
>>547649018Legit this don't come to a general obviously filled with people who like Yuri and shit on Yuri, just seems provocative
Wild that the thing you people took offense was the -fag suffix and not the AGP thing
>>547649018Holy newfag, first day on 4chan?>>547649402>capitalizationkek. There have been barely any posts about it here, it's not "obviously filled" with yurifags at all
>>547649958If people took offense to the AGP thing (or not just the ''-fag'' suffix), what then? It doesn't make it any better.>>547650242Obviously not, buddy. And like that person said, it's provocative or antagonistic, this is an *Atelier and Gust general*, games developed by Gust often have yuri undertones at least! Being exhaustive, there's Totori and Mimi, Sophie and Plachta, Ryza and Klaudia (it's implied that Klaudia may have romantic feelings for Ryza, not so much the other way around as far as I know), the Nights of Azure games with Arnice and Lilysse, Aluche and Liliana in the sequel, Rena and Yuki in Blue Reflection: Second Light and *maybe* Shihori in the first game. With all those characters, subtext and canon yuri depending on the game, of course people who like yuri are going to post in a general like this, just like the people who post in Neptunia and Compile Heart General and Senran Kagura general which are also games/franchises that have *at least* subtext too.The lack of posts about yuri for now is partially because the thread is just getting started, made less than 3 days ago and partially because it's not always the most relevant topic...people who play Gust games already know about the yuri content and subtext in some of their games.
Yumia is fishing for replies! Do you take the bait?
>>547649402To be fair, Atelier kind of did pivot away from all yuri to doing straight relationships now and then.Like Arland was gay as fuck but Dusk had straight relationships and they throw some straight characters here and there now. Ryza was also definitely aiming to the "male gaze" rather than the yuri audience too.
>>547651292Next time yumia goes on sale on switch im getting it, shes so pretty
>>547651610>Arland was gay as fuckt. didn't play Arland games
>>547651897Doesn't sterk just transform into crazy pigeon man for meruru? I feel like they did him dirty and people mostly focused on totori and mimi
Didn't Rorona have a child in Rorona 2
>>547651976Mereru treated Rona and Sterk so badly and people were so pissed off about it they had to bring them back and give them a proper ending in Lulua. And Assturd was erased from history like those people that disappeared from Soviet photographs.
>>547651292I like this post.
>>547652326She was right though, nobody wants to see a rorona in her 30's. I thank her for giving me loli rorona.Is it actually Rorona and Sterk though? I remember Logy being randomly in Sophie but it's not the real Logy and I don't think Escha was anywhere in the picture?
>>547651764Yumia is on sale 30% off on both Steam and PSN right now. Is the sale not extended to switch as well?
>>547652704No its not on sale on switch rn, i just bought ryza dx on there and was hoping to get resleriana and yumia on a sale but they aren’t
>>547652532Do you not see the word Fin aka The End? It's not Rona with some random guy don't be retarded, youtube it if you have to
>>547644894No! She got her
>>547652923What does that have to do with anything I said? How did you somehow completely sidestep the post and question completely to just repeat yourself?
>>547652829>Nintendo cucked out of the saleOuch
>>547653140Meds
>>547653172All the games went on a major sale at the start of the year, I bought all the trilogys but didn't buy yumia, regret it now
>>547653326Yumia wasn't out at the start of the year bro.
>>547653298My bad for expecting intelligent discussion I guess and my condolences for your terminal brainrot, I won't bother you again.
>>547653620Switch 2 wasnt out till like may so I meant around then, Im mad though cause I picked up all 3 ryza games and all the dlc just to buy dx now...
This thread got active all of a sudden. Nice, the general may be getting some popularity.
>>547654207I hope the momentum continues. I would love more fans of gust to gather and talk about the games. In other news I'm planning on buying this statue soon to add to figure collection on my desk, it'll be my first Atelier one so she will be surrounded by heaven burns red girls
>>547655050I want to actually talk about the games though, not receive dumb buzzwords when trying to discuss the game.I'm still curious about the above though, I always found it odd that the game reuses characters in certain games where it's alt versions of themselves but not really the same character then you have Resleriana where it's actually supposed to be the same character from the game but they got sucked into this new world where Alchemy is a long lost art.The setting of Resleriana is kinda funny for that, ancient lost art nobody SHOULD know anything about but you have all these isekai'd master alchemists that did amazing deeds just randomly in their world.
>>547655678Honestly I kinda like that, the comedic undertone of resleriana does make me smile a bunch, Tomorrow when my wife is back from her parents shes gonna set up a vpn and stuff on my pc to play the jp server of the gacha. I will post a bunch of that one as and when I can. I like the fact that all the alchemists from all the games can come together, its so neat!
>>547653785Your questions can easily be answered with google retard. Don't need to waste time on it
>>547655839It was nice recognizing a lot of the characters and being excited at seeing them in the game but I have to say I didn't recognize anyone pre-arland since my first Atelier game was Totori so my only cue to know they weren't an original character was the game telling me that they were a "Wanderer".
>>547656187I'm really cringe so my first game was meruru on vita cause it was on sale when i was 14. I played it a bunch but the crafting confused me so I gave up. Now im not a brainlet I really enjoy these games
>>547655050In case the thread dies, there's always /vrpg/. The /v/ offshoot boards were made to be smaller, slower and more comfortable boards to discuss things like this so just putting it out there so discussion can continue and not die completely.
>>547656598Yeh but /vrpg/ is extra slow sadly, like 200 posts in 3 weeks slow. Plus here if we just wanna post girls and stuff we can! I will do my best to keep this place alive since I'm actively playing ryza so Ill spam screenshots and stuff
>>547656719>Yeh but /vrpg/ is extra slow sadly, like 200 posts in 3 weeks slow.Well, slowness can be solved by telling people "Hey this exists!!" which is what I'm trying to do right now.But yeah, I hope the thread can survive.
>>547656808When /vrpg/ first popped up I was super hype cause I wanted more generalized rpg discussion, but I didnt realise how many people strap in for skyrim and skyrim like games, I always classed those as adventure games with rpg elements
She so pretty..
>>547658947She is.
>>547525294How bout now?
When the new game gonna be announced? I'm looking forward for the main protagonist to dance when the game went gold.
>>547651043The "and Gust" side of this general is not going to set the tone for obvious reasons. Atelier is unique. It isn't a series where the norm is an overwhelmingly or entirely female (or male) cast with options limited to shipping characters of the same gender with each other or with a harem lead protagonist.Atelier games are about a girl on an adventure. And she, without exception, meets attractive men on that adventure with designs that are meant to look attractive and are attractive in-universe. We have never had any reason to believe any of the protagonists aren't attracted to those men and many of them if not all have shown it directly. You even see those guys having bishounen designs - i.e. designed to be attractive to women that like shoujo manga - that look like they could be from shoujo manga or otome. You can see that all the way back in the first games and in Resleriana and Yumia.But Atelier doesn't follow shoujo/otome conventions either. The games usually have more girls than guys in the cast, and often the girl protagonist spends more time interacting with other girls. This plus the collabs being only with strongly male targeted series like DOAVV and Azur Lane prove the audience is predominantly men. The gameplay is too complex for most women anyway let's be honest.[1/2]
>>547661428So you have shoujo-otome elements core to the franchise, but it's for dudes. What do we make of this weird situation? It's like Otome, for Men.Maybe this is what opens the door for yurifags, where you can draw parallels with Class S shit or Hibike! Euphonium the series that tore /a/ apart. I don't see any justification to compare it to real yuri series. The only canon romance is straight, all the protagonists are attracted to men as far as we know. My personal take is that scenes that pander to yurifags are fanservice for Jap men who see those things differently than we do, and I don't think further about it. It's a minor element in the series IMO. Obviously if you're a yuri diehard YMMV.Returning to the topic of throwing shade on yurifags, honestly just man up. After all that I have nothing more to say on that KEK. The ASMR is tasteless borderline porn and the AGP buzzword is probably appropriate given "Let's become Klaudia!" Let's collectively denounce it for the health of this general, if you must jerk to it please keep it to yourself. Thank you for your attention to this matter![2/2]
>>547661551tldr - please stop talking about yuri guys girls are too dumb for this anyway so stop having fun. Fyi this general was set up by a woman, the games are about gathering and crafting and you play as cute girls with cute girls so yeh girls play them.And some girls like yuri. Its not hard to figure out that this series can be looked at simply as cute girls doing cute things with other cute girls. Canon doesnt matter in the face of fun and yearning
>547662210RIP this general
I like these games alot. Can you all stop your crying about who kisses what and talk about how cool these games are?
>>547662210Heh, I guess this post wasn't made by the person who made the two posts above. Yeah, can't argue with this, it's true that Atelier games have fanservice like Plachta's design but characters like Julio and Logy for example, definitely feel like they were made with women in mine, like other Japanese games and especially compared to other games developed by Gust, Atelier for the most part feels like a series with universal appeal or "it's for both men and women" more or less.The part of "gameplay is too complex for women" smells a little like sexism too and yeah, if the person who made this general (you?) is a woman, I'm not surprised, Atelier has been popular with women for a while. Ircha Gaming, Food,4Dogs, Miss Bubbles I think, and more...there are women in YouTube who really like Atelier :)
>>547662734Yes, the games are very cool.
>>547662463At least reply to the person directly...
>>547662861Women like the games, men like the games , we all like the games. So why not all enjoy these games we like and talk about them. If you wanna do tranny hunting or get mad at yuri fans or het fans go do it on /v/. Here we can talk about them free of people who care more about there opinions than the games themselves
united we are stronger!!!!
>>547663070You and I are on the same page, I'd like to discuss Atelier and other Gust games, I'm not someone who made a big deal about yuri fans and what not.
>>547663070The games are marketed to men. There is zero marketing to women, no advertising to female audiences, no collabs with female targeted franchises, zilch. Nothing.The otome games were different but we haven't had one in many years. Resleriana is not one despite some claiming so.
>>547663565Good to hear anon! I'm still playing through Ryza 1 DX on switch 2, honestly I'm glad I got it on there cause it was an excuse to dust it off.
>>547662948Lewd
>>547662953No point. I'm willing to get along with yurifags but one responding immediately and revealing xemself as a troon who likes yuri is not making me optimistic
>>547664356I don't know if getting along is even possible considering the fact that You jump to that conclusion...even if that were true, the *fact* that you use the term "troon" smells like transphobia or someone who doesn't even like the existence of trans people. All this is a bad start and goes beyond mere disagreements.Well, good night.
>>547664356I don’t think anyone revealed themselves to be a “troon”. And even if they are does it matter? Seems like you are a very hateful person
I kinda want a game about Ramizel and how she became an Alchemist.
>>547665161I would like that, it would be cute. I want the atelier series to do something really different for the next instalment, like a modern setting but the mc is from the usual medieval time. Or make the MC obsessed with sleeping and naps so she uses alchemy so she doesn’t have to do much or work hard.
The protagonists should have kids together again next game
>>547665530Now I kind of want an Atelier eugenics simulator where you try to produce kids with good traits.
>>547665530What about having Lulua be Rorona biological daughter?
>>547666053Rorona and Sterk's yes.
Have dancing Sophie
>>547672879Nice.
>>547613191I did it for completion sake similar to the character art matches what weapon they'd use in game. I was fine with maxed out 2nd gear after my 1st attempt of a decent weapon started getting weak around area 3. This game really made me think I should play the next installments on hard rather than normal.
>>547665530An idea with potential.
Will next game be Resleriana 3 or Yumia 2?
>>547690676Yumia 2 is more likely.
I noticed that one of the posts (''you will never be a woman'') got deleted, that's good. It's a fact that this thread was made partially because of the recent Atelier threads on v and the fact that there have been recent Atelier releases for consoles and PC especially the DX editions of the Ryza games, someone who posts here doesn't have to like yuri and that's fine, but it really should be just ''I don't like yuri but it's okay if other people like it'' or something like that, without saying that yuri fans are ''troons'' or whatever. I can only speak for myself but if anyone asks me, hetero or straight content and yuri content in video games are both fine, I like both things and there's nothing wrong if a video game has a (canon or implied) heterosexual couple and the same thing goes if it has a yuri couple, canon or implied, that's what I would say.I'm not the OP of course but I appreciate the existence of this general, I hope that there is better discussion going forward.
Does anyone have a link to that one BGM from Ar Tonelico 3 that's the first 20 seconds of Rebirthia Protocol, and then it glitches out and restarts? I can't find it anywhere.
>>547709026I haven't played Ar Tonelico Qoga and I haven't listented to much of its soundtrack, so I can't help there.
>>547711104Thanks, I appreciate it anyway.(By the way, it's the first 70 seconds, not 20.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoncs3EUeg
3 days since this thread was made.
Is yumia god looking on switch 2 in handheld? Its the only game I don't have but I dont wanna play an absolutely gimped version of it.
>>547723482*good looking
>>547723482>>547723663I only played the demo for Switch but the first impression was that it runs and looks fine, the graphics aren't bad and it looks nice actually, 7/10 maybe 8/10 at most graphically speakingAs you probably know Atelier Yumia doesn't have a native Switch 2 version but like other Switch games, it's possible that the game at least runs better on Switch 2 compared to the original Switch.
got my refund
>>547730291Huh, this post didn't bump the thread. Well, I hope you're happy with your decision at least.
>>547730291Based
>>547730291Why?
>>547732640Probably this >>547633741Someone really didn't like the existence of that ASMR.
>>547732640LGBT ASMR
>>547735316So, my post was right. Well, it's your decision.
>>547733678I got my refund days ago. Same reason tho
>>547735316Yeah fuck that trash. Are you dropping Atelier entirely or just Ryza series?
Gonna try to draw this in the coming weeks. Loom forward to seeing trash art.
>>547740408LOL. I can't wait.
VAYNE WHAT ARE YOU DOING
>>547748643Someone had fun with the photo mode.
Originally a simple design, in the end she wears one of the most detailed underwear sets in the game.
Firis is cute.
