>The main themes of the game are “regular youths growing up just a bit” and “memories that everyone has with their friends, that are nevertheless precious to each person”.
>Protagonist Ryzaline Schtaut (voiced by Noguchi Yuri) is said to be a normal girl who feels unsatisfied by her unchanging daily life, and spends her time with friends who like her wish for adventure. A “certain meeting” sets events in motion for the story to begin.
>Atelier Ryza is stated to have graphics on a completely new level from previous games, with expressions of light and shadow, wind, and depth. The systems are also entirely different from previous Atelier games: For example, in ingredient collection, using different tools to collect items from a tree will result in obtaining different ingredients being obtained.
>While no concrete details have yet been revealed about the battle and synthesization systems, screenshots show battles to have a “tactics level”, with Ryza in a “forward position” labelled as an “attacker”, and it is stated that battles will have a higher “sense of tension” that was not possible with the older turn-based command system, suggesting that the new system may be realtime and action-based.
>45% complete, and is scheduled for an autumn 2019 release for the PS4 and Switch in Japan, with a PC (Steam) release to follow later
>Ryzaline Schtaut Official spelling is Reisalin Stout.
>suggesting that the new system may be realtime and action-based. How the fuck does one come to that conclusion when in the same screenshot they described you can clearly see a turn order on the left?
No localization announced yet? Normally pretty quick with that shit...
Kayden Thompson
>and it is stated that battles will have a higher “sense of tension” This has to mean the game has battle sex/rape with monsters
Cameron Murphy
>45% done >Will be out in 4 months Oh yea can't going to be amazing alright. They're nearly Sonic 2006 tier of rushing trash games out the door just to get money
Nathaniel Jackson
>more 100% goofy SoL Why are all the Ateliers focusing on this now? Is it a side effect of ditching the time limits? There is so little story in the new games, just SoL shenanigans.
William Bennett
>Reisalin >Atelier Ryza Never pay attention to official spellings.
Jason Garcia
Lulua came out in the west a week ago, give it some time, announcing a localization for the next one now would potentially lead people to just wait.
Are you implying that the games with a time limit had a plot? Only Totori did. Games like Rorona and Meruru had zero. If anything, Lulua has a ton more.
Jacob Bell
>The main themes of the game are “regular youths growing up just a bit” Why not growing up completely?
Don't apply the same metric used to develop AAA trash games. These are low budget games made by a well oiled team.
Juan Nelson
>People actual buy these games and season pass every year No wonder Gust is still alive, they don't even need to try and Atelier will print money forever
Angel White
Those milestones are completely meaningless, it's probably just some random number they throw out for investors since every Japanese developer does it.
Jordan Anderson
I'm playing Firis right now and the open world exploring is great. The only thing I don't like is when time changes the shadows spin around fucking everywhere.
Xavier Fisher
>Most Atelier games have the protags as stick figures >This one is cute with the perfect amount of thiccness
They finally got it right.
Carson Nguyen
Why is Yea Forums shilling Atelier games so much? This year has been shillville jfc. Koei drones?
Oliver Mitchell
Story sounds generic as fuck. As expected from Japan.
Ian Hughes
brainlet
Michael Brooks
its Yea Forumsutism
Jack Turner
Just curious, what kind of story do you want in a nu-Atelier game?
Justin Williams
Son, I've played all of these games save for the last 2. They are trash and somebody is actually shilling this as if it were their job.
Jordan Murphy
Literally anything is an upgrade over something like Sophie where like 3/4 of the game was filler.
Evan Roberts
>inb4 by "all of these games" he means the mysterious series retard
William Campbell
why this shit never got mangas/anime?
how unpopular is this in nipponland???
Brayden Walker
there is escha and logy anime
Jace Hernandez
Because Gust keeps pumping out Atelier games. There's going to be 3 total this year instead of the usual 1 Atelier game + whatever else they make.
Christian Cruz
I dunno user she looks pretty grown up from the pictures
Jaxson Kelly
But what kind of story would interest you specifically?
Luis Ross
>new system may be realtime and action-based. ?????????????
Angel Gomez
I dislike the instant time shift the current games have. I wish the transition from night to day wasn't a dizzying effect.
Ayden Richardson
Nope. Cope more shill.
Luke Johnson
The main draw of this franchise is the gameplay autism of collecting stuff and crafting more stuff to complete a virtual list If you leave that there's absolutely nothing Just look at the Persona 5 anime and how awful it turned out
Elijah Hughes
Totori, Ayesha and EschaLogy all had fun plots. And Mana Khemia.
Christopher Evans
The UI is disgusting. Gust hadn't made a pleasing UI since Dusk. Also fuck gust and fuck OP for shilling this shit.
David Ramirez
I stopped playing after Meruru and jumped backed in with Lulua, what games from between them should I play? What's the fucking order even, why can't these idiots put numbers on the games?
Well, that's even weirder then. Maybe scheduling conflicts?
Adrian James
This year was the first time she'd gotten a job as a VA in like 6-7 years, and the role was "audience member". It's a mystery. ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/佐藤香織
Kayden Wood
>Ateliershit I sleep, even compile heart is stepping up their games and gust is still printing 100 season passes
Michael Hall
If she hasn't voice acted in a long time, it's possible that she was out of practice and her performance wasn't up to standard so they decided to replace her.
Ethan Johnson
So rorona is not her biological mother? Who would've thought.
Hudson Powell
>more of the same shit >add some fetishbait into the artwork that doesn't even resemble the character model >"OMG HOOOOOOOYPE"
Lulua is only 19 years younger than Rorona and for Rorona to be her biological mother, she would've had to be born between Atelier Rorona and Atelier Totori, which obviously didn't happen.
Nathan Myers
call me when they finally go back to iris/mana khemia style, until then it will always just be the same yearly shovelware.
Bentley Fisher
She could've been her daughter from the future or some shit. It's not like the arland series doesn't have time travel shenanigans.
Joseph Rogers
>going back to the worst arcs in the series They never will and that's a good thing.
Henry Howard
I know they won't, because of people like you, which is why my comment was mostly rhetorical, it won't happen and thus the series will never matter to me, but it's quite annoying having to hide tons of these threads every fucking day because of the sheer number of people with bad taste who believe that 3DCG is better than spritework because it makes their peepee harder, regardless of story, combat, gameplay, literally every other feature of the game other than the ability to look up a girl's skirt.
Dominic Williams
Iris and MK are bad exactly because story, combat, gameplay, etc. are shit compared to other games.
Cooper Morgan
>look up a girl's skirt. I wish that was possible in these games
Michael Richardson
gust has said that they always base the trilogies on current trends, the dusk series was when madoka and shingeki no kyojin was popular, mysteries was because of the sol anime trend, and lulua because of the new star wars movies they haven't commented on Ryza but if I had to guess then it would be kimi no na wa
I've only played 2 game sin the series but I started looking through the soundtracks of each game in order and there's some absolute bangers in there. That sample track from the ryza website makes me feel nostalgia for something I've never experienced. Any track recommendations you anons can give me? Good to know there's fanart already. Some of the other protagonists can't make it beyond a 100 pictures.
Justin Hill
English release when
Jack Barnes
Are there any Atelier games that aren't "moe moe kyun~!"?
I loved the Mana Khemia series, sucks that they stopped producing it.
Jeremiah Phillips
How heavy will they go with the yuribait? Why doesn't Gust just make straight up yuri for yurifags? Why doesn't Gust make any more Ar Tornelico games for people who don't freak out when a girl talks to a guy?
Noah Taylor
Is Ryza sequel of sequel?
Juan Sanchez
It's okay user, that's why we have these games and stuff.
Elijah James
Probably december or around there
Wyatt Flores
It's the first game in the next trilogy, assuming they are doing a trilogy again
Levi Sanchez
>$60 each for Firis and L&S, still Why do they hate sales?
They're milking the shit out of this series and you guys buy it for the art style and expensive collector editions.
Lucas Fisher
How are these games? Are they fun? I own one of them but never got around to playing it.
Kayden Martin
Straight yuri would be a complete flop, they know better than that. The rabid /u/fags actually don't care enough to keep a whole franchise afloat. Waifufags and purefags on other hand
Colton Long
There are like thirty games at this point. Some are good. Some are shit. There's a big range. Hopefully you got one of the good ones.
God, original Firis looks like shit (and somehow they managed to make her look worse in Nelke). L&S's Firis is top tier, though.
Michael Richardson
>Will I like them? No one here can answer that, user. Just give them a try. Interestingly, if the one you got is Sophie: people who got that game as their first Atelier tend to love that one, while old fans of the franchise tend to dislike Sophie.
Reminds me, I'm not sure why Firis' in-game graphics were so awful. L&S is all right, though.
Henry Garcia
What does the heart% on your party members in Lulua do? Just unlocks events?
Brandon Cruz
I have Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book.
What's wrong with Sophie?
Gabriel Morales
I hope you like grinding to unlock events then.
Alexander Parker
Yes, it's the usual friendship value, only this time in percentage rather than a pure number. It's used to unlock events.
Aiden Murphy
I guess in the end... we truly are Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book.
>tfw dropped the game on Chapter 5 and never played Firis or Lydie or Lulua I'm still traumatized by Sophie, do later games have that grind to progress bullshit?
Eli Fisher
There's nothing wrong with Sophie. Maybe because there's really no competition but Sophie, the character is probably the best protagonist in all of the franchise, and Japan agreed with this.
the only grind that I remember in Sophie is getting the end game gear, I don't remember needing any grind to progress, especially once you unlock Cornelia
Caleb Miller
Except going by character polls doesn't excuse the games. Tales of Zesteria almost killed the franchise but one of the Zesteria characters is topping the popularity polls.
He means "repeat the same exact shit ad infinitum", which is the essence of nu-Atelier trash, ever since they removed time limit.
Korean MMOs have the same kind of gameplay.
Matthew Nguyen
what a roundabout way just to spew a few mindless shitposts
Christopher Miller
>muh time limits They never really mattered outside your first playthrough if you even slightly competent.
Carter Myers
Schtaut thighs
Ryder Parker
Game without a clear objective is a bad game and gets boring after 15 minutes.
Grayson Turner
And Lulua has as an objective using 50 times the Interrupt thingy to unlock done stuff. That's way worse than anything Sophie asked you to do. Win 10 battles, synth 10 times is a requirement in one chapter. And the next chapter asks you to win 20 battles and synth 20 times. Oh yeah, but because Arland characters are shoved in there Arlandfags don't talk about all this bullshit.
Zachary Stewart
>Oh yeah, but because Arland characters are shoved in there Arlandfags don't talk about all this bullshit. I'm pretty sure most of the people playing Lulua are Sophiefags. Slapping an Arland skin on a follow up of the Mysterious games isn't going to get me to play it.
Josiah Howard
Meruru had all this stuff as secondary objectives. And 'synth X times' is infinitely better than 'go synth, fuck you'.
Matthew Hernandez
Didn't they have two artists working on the same games, at one point?
Totori was filled with objectives like that and they'd be among the ones giving you the most points for the adventurer rank, how is it anything new? Same for some tasks in Meruru that forced you to synthesize several units of tools that you couldn't put in wholesale or assign the Homs to.
>go synth That's exactly Lulua. Lulua doesn't tell you how many times you need to do something. Hell it just tells you if you do x on y ? times on Z map you'll get A which you need for B.
Tyler Nguyen
>lulua >health bar blue >mana bar green >no max number anywhere Why are they so bad at basic shit like this?
Hopefully some of the other costumes are a bit more feminine. Mel Kishida had a knack for elaborate and girly costumes that were appealing. So far this all looks like basic anime fare
Adam Long
Agree to both of these. Atelier games are the same shit over and over. Gacha is literally shelling out money for anime titties.
