I want to get into the Atelier series, and i heard mixed things about Atelier Sophie specifically. Some say its the best of them all, and some say its the worst so im asking to clarify. I just want to play the comfiest game Atelier possible.

Sophie is probably the comfiest imo. Its not nearly as bad as some people like to make it out to be.

Sophie also has no time limit allowing max comf

Also, a lot of people hate sophie because it was a more "casual" atelier game, it eased up on a lot of the more annoying aspects of other games like resource and storage management, and everything was pretty simple to get to and manage. In other games you can't just grab everything you find on the floor like you can in sophie.

yea i wanna get into the ateliers too if you know what i mean

>it eased up on a lot of the more annoying aspects of other games like resource and storage management
There is literally no management to do

So apparently Lulua wasn't made by the main team. Instead it was made by the Blue Relfection team.

The main team was making the new trilogy game instead.

You still had to worry about storage in the field, and I think there was a cap at 9999, I think I hit it but I can't remember if that was a dream.

You'd think with all the people that want to get into Atelier recently they'd look in one of the daily threads asking where to start.

>You still had to worry about storage in the field
There is no time, so no, you don't. Literally just go back to town, make some space and go back to the field.

That's such a pain though, and you would lose stamina in the field which you needed to replenish.

Cons:
>No time = no failure state. No penalty for dying, you are just sent back to town and lose a few items you can easily reacquire.
>Four difficulty levels because they couldn't balance the game for shit
>Most of the characters are boring
>A fucking fatty as a party number
>The characters have little interactions with each other other than Sophie

Pros:
>Sophie is cute
>Plachta is hot

I didn't even realize a new one came out.
How is Lulua, I've only played the mysterious games, so should I play the Arland ones first (been meaning to buy them anyways)?

If it was the BR team, is there any gay?

Totori is the gayest Atelier if that's your interest

>I want to get into the Atelier series
Fuck nuGust.

Sold.
How's Lulua though, I was really disappointed with nelke.

Disappointing. It doesn't have the charm of previous Arland games, feels more like they just wanted to milk it rather than do a proper sequel, and doesn't have the "Everyone is here!" feeling of Meruru.

Outside of no time limit, I'm enjoying it a lot, though battling is kind of silly considering you just spam interrupts.

Ah that's a shame. I guess gust has just really gone downhill recently.

>recently
Gust has been going downhill since 2013

Your mom has been downhill since 2013.
I think sophie was fine, and the NOA games weren't that bad either

Lulua is a disappointment desu

>Your mom has been downhill since 2013.
Can't argue with that

They are still worse than previous games, so it's still downhill

STOP MAKING THIS THREAD
WE TELL YOU EVERYTIME JUST PLAY THE ARLAND GAMES

>I want to get into the Atelier series
Play Mana Khemia, then drop it afterwards, because the gameplay never picks up after that.

He's probably the Sophiefag pretending to be a newfag to the series.

nah im genuinely curious and haven't been browsing Yea Forums for a little while now, i just heard about the new game coming out and wanted to decide which one to get after all

Sophie is the only good thing about Mysterious so I can understand. Extremely cute girl, wasted on a shit trilogy.

You know you're only making people hate Sophie even more, right?

They should definitely hate Sophie (the game) since it is shit.

I had a great time with sophie and idk why people complain about it. Good music, fun combat, mechanics and characters, and pretty much every time you went to town there would be something new happening, usually cutscenes to either introduce new characters or advance their subplots. Meanwhile when I tried to play Totori it was a fucking snoozefest, right out of the gate all you can is repeat the same quests over and over again and barely anything happens

Note him, but I kinda agree that sophie is the only good thing about the mysterious trilogy.

Though I did just start playing arland and I have to admit, these games blow hers out of the water.

I don't get why everyone is so flat though.

Don't worry, there's one titty monster in each game

We can say good things about one thing without saying bad things about another thing guys please.

Whatever of dusk seemed like a good point to me. I played the series just before it and it seemed a bit harder. Roroni?

I miss this baka

It's a patrician thing, you wouldn't understand. And that's okay. No one's stopping you from playing your "big tiddy" plebeian shit.

Sorry bro she is booksexual and already has a bookwife

My 40 years old flat, virgin and ovulating wife Esty is so cute!
