Have at least Platinum the Mysterious Trilogy and Ryza Duology: Atelier Sophie 1 Atelier Firis Atelier Lydie & Suelle Atelier Ryza 1 Atelier Ryza 2 Plan to do Sophie 2 then it comes out next year. Awesome, welcome to the thread! Thanks for joining! Are you planning on playing the other games in the series too? By the way, I put your forum name on your awards but if you'd prefer your PSN name, please let me know and I'll redo the awards. Spoiler 20 hours ago, SmellsLikeJazz said: I’d like to join. I probably won’t begin one until a bit after the New Year, but this will encourage me to play the games and be more active in the forums! Of course, welcome! Thanks for joining!

Yeah, plan to work on the Plus versions of Dusk Trilogy and Arland Trilogy then I start working on my PS3 & PS Vita backlogs. Plan to return to Nelke too down the line and get the 4th Arland game then I'm done with the Arland Trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoTakino Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hey all, hope things are going well! Just as a minor update, I managed to wrap up Ryza and I can see why everyone likes this game so much. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait to jump into the sequel. All the additions really made this one a lot of fun for me and the scenery was beautiful (especially at night). Just for comradery, I've posted my tile below. Hope you all are doing great.

Maverick6146 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Ryza Sophie Escha & Logy Ayesha Meruru Do plan to pick some new atelier games, and may pick some old atelier DX for my vita. On 12/8/2021 at 11:14 AM, Malachen said: My favourite so far is Atelier Meruru. All the best parts of the Arland trilogy mixed together and I loved the developing of the city. The fact that you HAVE to do a full playthrough to start getting most of the trophies appealed as well because my first run through was completely blind. I've nearly finished EandL and Ayesha plus on the vita but I stopped playing for a bit. This will encourage me to jump back on them. Same here. I stopped playing this series after Sophie as I think the story and alchemy are really watered down. However a friend encouraged me to pick up Ryza and I had quite some fun with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEI2EK Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I went and picked up PS3 copies of Totori, Ayesha and Meruru to add to my collection, and now I have every PS3 Atelier game on PS3, PS4 and Vita I think I have a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, thanks for joining! Great job with the Vita completions and Ryza! Which atelier games are you looking into? If you like the older style, I'd probably recommend Shallie, as I hear its a lot of fun and it would finish off the dusk trilogy for you. Here are your tiles!

Awesome! I can't see any problems with that, Atelier is a really fun series and I'm glad you managed to track down the Arland trilogy on PS3! Then again, I'm in the same boat as you (I picked the Japanese versions on PS3 and Vita as well as the originals lol). I hope you enjoy them though, they're fun games but look out for Rorona, the original version is a lot tougher than the Plus/DX version from my understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoTakino Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Happy late new years everyone! I hope you all had a great one and enjoyed yourselves! I was personally trying to wrap up Ryza 2 before the New Year but didn't manage to make it in time. However, I did manage to wrap up the PS4 version last night and I've completed both Ryza games now. I'm working on getting the PS5 stack with my cross save before I hop on either Nelke or Sophie (maybe even finish up Escha & Logy who knows). For the sake of community, I've posted my own tile below.

TomoTakino Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hello everyone! Quick update, first of all I just wanted to mention that I managed to snag the PS5 plat for Ryza 2 and, for the sake of community, I've posted my tile below! Spoiler Also, the game guides section has been updated with the awesome new Lulua end game gear/item guide by @MakotoKaCun and @Beyondthegrave07 (thanks guys for your hard work!). Check it out if you're playing Lulua and want to craft some ultimate gear for that game! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aknosom Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm not sure how I missed this thread, but please do count me in! My goal is to platinum the entire series in 2022 (slowly but surely). So far, I have the following: DUSK Atelier Ayesha Plus Atelier Escha&Logy Plus Atelier Shallie Plus ARLAND Atelier Rorona DX Atelier Totori DX Currently working on Meruru DX and having a blast (her design is too adorable)! I'll probably keep Nelke for the very end since I'm not someone who loves simulators (but I'll be happy seeing so many characters again)! So far Totori has been my favourite. Maybe because I was dreading it at first (couple of people I know gave up on it), but turns out the deadlines were pretty lenient? The only thing that felt bad was the inability to sort when crafting (the little things you take for granted). I had even started with Dusk to avoid getting into Arland right away. What a mistake, it's been so fun (well, all Atelier games have been so far)! Gonna do Lulua next before moving on to Mystery (Sophie 2 will probably come out by the time I get there)! Then finally Ryza! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Well, I guess it's finally for me the time to play my collection and not having there in my backlog lol. I tried to start many years ago with Atelier Escha & Logy, but I could never find the ingredients for a recipe Considering I just got the platinum for Blue reflection Second Light which kinda share gameplay with Ryza games I'll start with them. In Summary I have in my backlog: Alchemist of the Dusk trilogy (ps3) Mysterious Alchemist trilogy (ps4) Ryza duology (ps4) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can finish them all in 2022 but please don't rush through them, they're a lot of fun but it's easy to burn out on them if you push yourself too hard. It's funny that you mention that about Arland though. I went through a somewhat similar thought process with Rorona as I heard from everyone how difficult it was so I "officially" started with Ayesha. However, I managed to play through Rorona on Switch and had a blast with it (I gotta go back to the PS4 and play through that version). I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Arland trilogy as well as the Dusk trilogy. I hope you continue to enjoy the series though! Here are your awards!

Are you planning on going back to the first Blue Reflection game? It's OK though, it can be really confusing at first when starting out Atelier games but once you get the hang of the core mechanics, you'll have a blast. I can say I really enjoyed the Ryza duology and it's a great place to start the series from since it's much more forgiving than past games and let's you explore and figure out mechanics without really penalizing you.

Skelletra Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I finished Firis and started Lydie&Suelle yesterday! I think story wise Firis might be my favorite so far, but I'm really looking forward to starting the Dusk trilogy later this year. I'm liking the characters of Lydie and Suelle a lot more than I thought I would. I'm very amused by what Suelle's chosen weapon is instead of a staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get the part about the1st Blue reflection, I mean I have Blue reflection platinums I'll go back the Dusk trilogy after beating the Riza Duology.

You've got a seriously impressive profile! 99% completion rate is nothing to sneeze at, especially with some tough completions!

I'm not sure why. I guess my biggest complaints were that I constantly got stuck trying to figure out how to advance the story, there were WAY too many cutscenes, and it started to feel very formulaic. The alchemy system seemed more convoluted than usual too, which is really saying something. I might wait on Sophie 2. I've been thinking of starting the Tales series soon and I'd like to limit myself to one JRPG at a time. Thanks for the badge! Best of luck to those trying to complete the whole series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
