More Atelier because I went back and played five minutes of Atelier and then couldn't stop myself because I have the impulse control of a six year old.
music:
▶️ Atelier Lydie & Sulle OST - Camellia
▶️ Atelier Totori OST - Following the Footsteps
▶️ Atelier Firis OST - Song of Leaving Home
▶️ Atelier Rorona OST - Sunbathing
▶️ Atelier Shallie OST - Explain!
▶️ Atelier Escha & Logy OST - Miss, Would you like to eat apples together? - Ігри
You probably know this already, but "Escha & Logy" is a pretty incredible pun. In Japanese, the word for "and" is "to". This makes the Japanese version "Escha to Logy". The word "Eschatology" is the aspect of theology concerned with what happens to a person once they die. Fun stuff!
it's more the end of the world or human kind, not just a person
Eschatology is concerned with the end of the world or the end times
Sophie is the proud old mama of the Atelier series
I'm a little new in the series, why is Sophie the old mama of the Atelier series? x)
@@TheAntiCosmic oh now I understand XD I didn't know her name was Sophie tbh :p
@@Grayard that would have been a nice plot twist
Sophie at 80 years old will still be talking about how escha is the best character ever to her grandchildren
Rafael Sousa bruh that's just wow the way images
9/10 too many cute girls
what about the 1?
To be fair the boys are too cute too.
cute for female demographic
@@riotangel4701 hell nah.
I think you mean 7.8/10 too many cute girls
Absolutely agree with Escha and Logy. It wasn't the first one I played, but I really liked the way they implemented the exploration system as well as the wonderful interactions between the two principle characters. Logy is a BOSS, too. Definitely one of my favorite protagonists. Also, that opening theme song is so addictive. Took weeks to get it out of my head after I first heard it.
Logy is a boring character
Cant believe how crystal clear your voice is, i just close my eyes and listen to your voice, its just amazing, lovely game, great video!
It takes a good mic setup to have clear voice recording. Perhaps Sophie can showcase her hardware and configuration.
@@riotangel4701 or maybe she just has a sweet voice...
@@lyhthegreat oh no doubt she has a sweet voice. But a sweet microphone setup is also required. Some cheesy webcam or smartphone is not going to cut it.
I love this franchise so damn much! My first Atelier game was Rorona, and I fell in love immediately! Everything just feels so wholesome and nice
This series deserves more attention and love
It's pretty much up to us the fans to try an spread the word an get others into it.
hey, i just want to say thank you for helping me finally jump into the atelier series with your first video on it. i picked up lydie and suelle back in december, and i'm finding it really fun! while i'd seen the atelier games floating around, i'd felt a little overwhelmed about getting into them because i didn't know where to start, but thanks to your video, i was able to finally jump in without distress.
this list is really good, by the way! i really wanna give the dusk trilogy a try, though console limitations are preventing me. i hope they put them on steam like they did with the arland games.
I always love seeing top lists for Atelier because every list is so different!
My personal favorite is Ayesha! It has just the right amount of melancholy and sweetness. I loved exploring the world, was excited about how many different battle themes it had, adored the entire cast and their interactions... My other faves are Meruru (I enjoyed the town building aspects) and Rorona Plus (my introduction to the series & I honestly liked the time limits). I'm currently playing Shallie and hoping I'll end up liking it as much as I did Ayesha.
Your intros are so cozy, and your voice is very comfy. It's just pleasant listening to these videos. Thank you!
you introduced me to so many of my favorite series and im sure this will be the next great one that ill love
I love rewatching your videos, takes me back to simpler times in my life. But life is great the way it is.
I think Sophie wants us to play the Atelier games. Not quite sure yet though...
I'm really excited to start playing the Atelier series. Great video as always, Sophie.
I have to be honest, when you revealed Escha and Logy at number 1 I jumped for joy. It is my fav to and also the first atelier game I played. I bought it when it was on special and expected noting special of it and then Logy's intro scene happened with the fire and all that and I was immediately in love. I could tell that this game was going to be something special and it really is. There is just something so wholesome yet emotional about it.
Atelier is my favorite game series of all time, and it's the only one I bother to buy the physical copies of every game. Such a wholesome, heartwarming series with hours upon hours of addicting crafting. My favorite part of these games is spending hours just making things.
Escha & Logy is my favorite game of the series as well, with Totori and Firis being right behind it.
Never will forget and always will love Aurora 💕💕
I gotta respect the love you show this series. Without that I probably would have kept seeing the games in stores and never pick one up. Thanks to these videos I've finished Atelier Sophie and plan to do the rest of the mysterious games.
I started playing Atelier Ayesha on PS now after watching your first video and immediately fell in love with the pleasant vibes. Compared to the games I normally play, it was like taking a walk on the beach during a perfect summer day. I’m excited to play as much of the series as I can on PS4. Thank you for recommending it.
Your videos are always a breath of fresh air for me. Can't wait for the next one!
Never tried this series out. Definitely going to give it a shot asap! Great video as always.
This year will be the year of Atelier for me. I recently picked up Lydie & Suelle after watching your last video, and I fell in love with the game. Now I can't wait to play the others (especially the rest of the Mysterious trilogy and the Dusk trilogy). I'm going to introduce the series to my friends as well. Thank you for the excellent videos and recommendations!
Whenever I start an atelier game I always have at least one more on the backlog. It's the most comforting series there is, and it's nice to always have a new one waiting.
Great video Sophie, you made me jump in to the Atelier series and im so thankful that I jumped in. So thank you and please continue to make videos for us you wonderful queen
I'm happy you made this and the intro video. I never would have checked them out otherwise! I never really heard of them before! I'm definitely going to go check them out now!
i got a couple atelier games for Christmas that i still havent found the time to play, but your video on the series is what made me want to try them in the first place! here's hoping i find time soon to play them!
You were one of the inspirations I had for finally playing these games after I had been collecting all of the recent games over the past year. I just finished Atelier Rorona and I absolutely loved it! I'm moving on to Totori now and I can't wait to experience it and the others you talked about here!
Wow excellent timeing! A few months ago I finished playing every single atelier game ever and today I started over from the very first game and going to play all of them over again. Honestly probably my favorite game series.
Ah, love this video! I actually picked up Atelier Sophie a while back after I saw it in one of your videos, and I absolutely love it, just because it's so different from most games I play. Instead of some grand adventure, you're just in one little town as the alchemist, making friends with all the other business owners, and It is just so peaceful, perfect to relax after a day of classes! Looks like I might have a few more to add to the list!^.^
Never heard of the series before, just discover your channel and this series, and now I can't wait to try and jump into this serie
Your videos on the Atelier series really make me want to pick one up. I shall wait for steam sales. Thanks for sharing all the love you have for the franchise with us ^^
I've had a major crush on the opening sequences of these games for a awhile and I think I'll give them a try! Thanks for the videos that you've done on the Atelier franchise!
I literally bought Lydie and Suelle yesterday because your videos made me want to play the atelier series! I’m so excited to get into this series!
vertigo's worstnightmare welcome aboard. You are in for a fun cute adventurous ride.
So far my favorite entries is atelier meruru, totori, and Lydie/suelle.
Escha and Logy is also my favorite in the series (I got started with Rorona Plus on the Vita). In fact I loved the music so much that I imported the instrumental soundtrack from Japan (there's a vocal soundtrack as well). Not that I didn't like the music in the other games, but Escha and Logy's really stood out for me. Really looking forward to Atelier Lulua, while I'm waiting for reviews before deciding whether to wait or not for Nelke, since it's more a spinoff game. Speaking of spinoff games, one that's often overlooked in discussion of the Atelier series, though it was released in English, was Atelier Annie on the Nintendo DS. Started playing it -- it's cute, but it's really closer to the early titles of the series rather than the later releases starting with Rorona.
We need a release of dusk series on ps4/pc/switch!
This! I didn't have a PS3 or Vita, but I do have a PS4 and PC, and would love to try the dusk series.
It just happened lol
Already been released, Check it out
Hey it's here
Escha & Logy was also my first game in the Atelier series, I picked it up randomly during psn golden week sale. I've been picking up whatever Atelier game ever since. To this day, Escha & Logy is still my favorite Atelier game! My curiosity of the Atelier games also made me find your channel.
The timing of this video is impeccable. I just started playing Atelier Sophie again to finish getting all the trophies (I was almost done with the game), and I couldn’t decide which game I wanted to go back and finish next. Now I’m looking forward to playing E&A :)
So glad I finally found a channel that spreaded love to the Atelier series :')
My favourite one is Ayesha! I love her character and the setting of the game and specially the soundtrack, the final boss theme is probably one of my favourite of all time
Oh my I'm so glad Firis made it to your top 5.
Firis is my favorite protagonist from all atelier series and has the best BGM imo. She is super duper cute and i totally relate to her as I am now seeking for a freedom from something in my life. (Totally can relate to Liane too as I'm also an onee-san and would totally want to have an imouto-chan like Firis - My Imouto-chan acts more like a Puni than Firis!)
Seriously though, Firis is so underrated. The Alchemy is fun and they gotta play it in Despair Difficulty and see how much fun it is to create the perfect items / equipments on your own while traveling. People need to give her game a chance!
Then when people ask me which Atelier Game I like most, I wouldn't know which one is my favorite as I learn to accept system the way it is and just find a way to make the perfect items / weapon out of that system. But i do feel the sadness when my game is limited in time. I just prefer the endless one or the one that give me choice for when i want to start my New game+
I'm currently playing Nelke and The Legendary Alchemist after finishing Atelier Lulua. Nelke is very challenging and I have to do so much Trial and Error in it. Lulua is the old-school Atelier, cute and fun too. Heck, I love all the Atelier Series! I want more! Waiting for Atelier Ryza!
So glad you made this video! The Atelier games really do need more exposure.
I have never played any Atelier games and eventually just purchased the Atelier Arland trilogy DX on the Switch. Then I will move on to Lulua. I appreciate all your videos, I have watched them all! Thank you! Subscribed.
I finished my first: Firis...and come into lydie... and now almost finishing Sophie! I love the series! I saw them on interner since rorona!
Very inspirational series!
Thank you. This helped me. So many options and I like your reasons for liking these. I'm going to jump into it with your first as well.
Gosh, it's been a while since this series caught my eye and I still haven't gotten around to it. Please keep stoking the fires of curiosity in me for this series, I'll cave one of these days. Oh, and I love a good list that says screw you to popular consensus opinion. It's so very satisfying to hear reasons why a personal favorite stands above common criticism, even if I'm not familiar with it. I just love it.
Great list! I have to admit I haven't played Firis yet, it came out at a time when I was super busy and I haven't gotten back to it. For everything else I am in total agreement. Escha and Logy wasn't my first game in the series, but it is my favorite as well. The characters, the world, Hidari's art. All of it ties together beautifully.
I really enjoy hearing your honest opinions on your favorite games. (^:
Though my list is probably a little different, based on my personal experiences, I think this is a good list.
(Then again, I can't think of a *bad* list. All of the Atelier games are really distinct and anyone can have any number of reasons to own the list that they do!)
But could Atelier Lulua possibly find a way to sneak itself up in that list next year, I wonderr~? c:
So after going back and rewatching your intro to Atelier video I was debating between Escha and Logy and Firis. I ended up picking Escha and Logy and have been loving it! They're such good and cute protagonists and I love them.
thanks for getting me into such an awesome game. and since firis is in your top picks I'll definitely be giving it a shot next
Nice list, keep it going!
I discovered the atelier series through the osts on youtube and i thought:"Damn I think i wanna play that"...
But i never got around to do it, then I discovered your channel and your previous video on the subject.
Though i didn't follow your advice on the order, I still played a few of and gonna play the others too...
In the end i wanna thank you for your great content and for really getting me in the atelier series!
Love your list! I share pretty much the same sentiments you mentioned throughout. Love how you're covering the Atelier games and getting more people into the series.
And was surprised to see how well Atelier ran on the switch from the gameplay you showed. Here's hoping they port the Dusk Trilogy to switch as it's my favorite trilogy :')
I'm glad you're talking about stuff you love now more! :) I know you were saying you wanted to get away from lore type stuff - and your new videos sound much more happy and passionate :)
I love hearing you talk about a game series I have never heard of and learning more about a new world of games.
I just within this last week started my first atelier game. I watched your atelier where to start video and I went with ayesha. So far I'm really enjoying it. This video was great too.
One for Lydie and Suelle here.
It had the perfect balance of interesting and touching story (if you went for the true end), time limit not binding you at lategame, so letting you to explore the world freely - the painting worlds that were by far the most unique "gathering regions" in the franchise, and incredibly cozy interactions with the previous characters of the trilogy.
And the alchemy was very polished and enjoyable, if you wanted to get hardcore into synthesizing, which I was always looking foward to ever since the material placement was introduced.
Oh yes, I usually like the shy/meek type characters the most, but it was Suelle I fell for in this title, though I liked Lydie too.
I felt like Lydie shared quite a similar personality with Totori, and Suelle with Meruru.
the way I got into atelier was pretty simple, got my ps3 and thought I need a jrpg, quick amazon search and saw Atelier Totori's cover, loved the cover art and didn't search any further, best blind purchase I ever made for a game, while I agree dusk saga is pretty solid, I have bias towards Arland, mostly cause I love the cast, specially Rorona, so you can bet I am excited af for Atelier Lulua
I played Mana Khemia many years ago and loved it ❤️ Although other Atelier games look much different, watching your videos has made me want to explore the series further. I just need to choose which one to try first 🙂 Great videos!
Great list and video! Thanks for drawing more attention to this amazing series (almost my all-time favourite RPG series, only coming second to Ar noSurge/Ar Tonelico xD) I personally have a soft spot for Ayesha, just because I LOVE the soundtrack, development of the story and characters... it was so intriguing and addictive. You’re right though, it’s so hard to pick a favourite because they’re all so great for different reasons ❤️
P.s. YAY for some Firis love!! It’s so sad to me that it sold the worst out of the trilogy. I actually enjoyed it WAY more than the other Mysterious games... the exploration and constantly hopping/adventuring to new places was so addictive and rewarding.
After your last Atelier video I've started to play the Arland trilogy and now I'm so in love with the Atelier series
still remember playing these on our old PS2, especially the Mana Khemia Series! Can't believe you've played them!
Appreciate that you made that first video from an objective standpoint, while still being willing to share what your preferences are with us in this video.
My favorites in particular series are often less popular within the fanbase as well haha.
I'm so happy to see Shallie as number 2. Shallie is my no.1 favorite Atelier game. I've only beaten the Dusk trilogy and played some of Rorona and Sophie. Shallie has a wonderful soundtrack, great battle system, addicting alchemy system, and fun characters. The lack of time management also made the game a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for uploading! I also love Atelier games, from Japan!
I understand emotional attachments to certain games in a series. When I was 8, my family and I went through a bunch of nasty changes, and not only was Final Fantasy IV my first FF game, but I played through it around that time and it helped me cope a lot.
I think I'm probably gonna start the series with either something from the Arland series or Lydie & Suelle maybe.
my favorite series! ❤️❤️ I’m surprised more people didn’t love firis! It’s one of my faves as well!
I picked up Atelier Shallie in late 2017. I just haven't gotten around to playing it since I play alot of games, but I'm so glad you think so highly of it. I plan on finally going through it this week.
I'm just getting into the series now, and happen to be around 22 hours into Escha & Logy atm, LOL! The main reason I took so long to try the series is because I thought the time limits would stress me out, but they're actually doing a good job of forcing me to prioritize and not just fool around for hours on end, so it's pretty interesting! I loved Ayesha (my first full Atelier game) and so far Escha & Logy has been nearly as good (I prefer Ayesha's story, so far, and the fact it had multiple towns you went between was pretty cool.)
glad that you made another video about the atelier series cos i still can't decide which arc i could buy and play cos the ones take tickle my fancy are the ones that's like in the middle or end of arc. so i ended up trying trails of cold steel series for the time being.
My first (and tragically only one) was Rorona, but you've inspired me to go back to the series :)
I kind of enjoy the Atelier series, it isn't my favorite but I've still played almost ALL of them because I love the atmosphere. I never gave the Dusk series a shot because I was busy and broke when they were originally out. You've convinced me to go back and play them. Thanks!
Hello ValkyrieAurora I have been siting and siting on them games but after watching this and your other video think I will start on them very soon but I really have to say I sorta fall in love with the music track for Atelier Shallie lol it sorta sounds like the song Gabrielle Aplin - The Power of Love I don't know it just made me think of that also found you're channel not to long ago too anyway's keep up the awesome work. :)
I only ever played the Iris trilogy ages ago. Always had an urge to dive back in, but didn't know where to. Thanks for the recommendations!
When I was younger I didn’t understand the appeal to atelier Sophie game writhing it off as waifu sim bait, as I gotten older and life been a bit more crushing I found comfort in the atelier series, especially Sophie, I have a hectic life that sometimes / “git gud”/ “grind till you die games “ take too much out of me. That I appreciate your own pace games
The atelier series is like a warm blanket to me now and I enjoy it so very much
I really love the trilogy aspect of the games, especially when I experience it in the Arland trilogy, which isn't anymore. It is really enjoyable to see the characters growing up and how they changed over time. Seeing Totori becoming the master of Meruru in Atelier Meruru is really enjoyable. We see how much Totori grew up after her adventures in her own game and especially what kind of Alchemist master she is.
What I love the most about Atelier Meruru is how the master/student relationship is much stronger and focused than the two previous ones.
I have only played escha&logy of these and that was a few years ago, but i really enjoyed the game. The characters were distinct and fun and the collecting/crafting system was statisfying. Also the battle system was fun to play.
Your number one pick was also my own introduction to the Atelier series. Just like you, I picked up this game out of pure curiosity a couple years ago and although I haven’t played any Atelier game since then, I clearly remember enjoying it a lot.
I never clicked on an upload so fast :3
I knew Escha and Logy was going to be number one because of your pet bunny.
The Ateliers have always intrigued me, but unfortunately I never had the chance to play with them
With this video you have intrigued me even more, peace and love from Italy
P.S. Your voice is so relaxing ahahah
Based on your past video, I didn't expect "Escha & Logy" to be top 1 instead of one of the more "adventure-like" games. Still, it was a real amusing surprise!
The animation of "Esch and Logy" was what first got me interested in Atelier, but never really went into playing the games due to having no idea where to begin playing. That is, until I saw your past video explaining the good points of all Atelier games which gave me the courage to "blindly" buy the Arland Trilogy for the switch.
At first Rorona felt too easy and overly simple. Then you get to Year 2 where the game begins unlocking all sorts of facilities and combat gets harder. I'm actually writing this after finally having beat the dam "Electric (boogaloo) Wailmer" after 8 tries. Simply put, the game begins slow yet grows on you.
What I'm trying to say is, THANK YOU a lot for your videos!!!
Note: I hope they port more Atelier to Switch so I can play them more in my spare time at work :)
This went under my radar for way to long. Even though I probably don't have the time, I'm gonna check it out. This is game looks perfect for me.
I just discovered your channel and I already looove the videos you make!💖😊 Also, you should be a voice actor because your voice is so nice!🤩😜
I’m sold just finished your video and I’m downloading it for switch right now!
I just found your channel and I really like your videos. If you haven't already, it'd be cool to see a video listing your favorite things about JRPGs in general. Like what sorts of themes/mechanics/stylistic choices draws you to the genre.
I need to give this series another shot lol. I own three of the games, but haven’t played hardly any. I first picked it up because it looked cute, because it was super niche, and because it reminded me of the Tales series, which I’m a huge fan of. I did a tad bit of research before settling on Totori as my first, but I doubt I played more than 2 hours before getting distracted. I bought Sophie when that came out, attempting to give the series another shot and because I thought Sophie and Plachta were SUPER cute. I’ve played by far the most of that, but it wasn’t more than 10 hours, I don’t think. I later bought Escha & Logy because the artwork looked awesome, but I’ve never opened the box.
I think I need to watch your other video on the Atelier games xD
Huh, you're really addicted to atelier.
I started Atelier Rorona because of your first video.
Really liked it so thnks for hooking me op to a great series :)
Ah I haven’t played this series since my first game Atelier Rorona and your videos have inspired me to give the series an actual chance. Though first I’m going to have to actually beat Rorona I think XD
Amazing video! I could talk about atelier games all day long!!!
Think this has finally pushed me over the edge to start this series
This is mind blowing because I didn't know that Mana Khemia is a part of this whole franchise. Mana Khemia 1 & 2 are some of my most favourite game on PS2.
That settles it. I'm gonna sink myself in this series through and through. Thank you so much for talking about this. ❤
I will try this games since lately I've wanting to play something different, so thank you so much
Rorona was the first Atelier I played that had a time limit, and for me, it was very easy. I had lots of extra time in each section of the game and spend a lot of the in-game days just doing whatever I wanted.
However, I found Totori to be MUCH more difficult to manage. I actually got the bad ending because I wasn't strong enough and didn't have the proper equipment to fight the final boss. I definitely plan on replaying it because I really liked the story.
Hello, Sophie I'm so happy that you introduced so many people to the Atelier series with your videos and I'm a huge fan of your overhaul work (thank you for introduced me to my second favorite video game franchise Drakengard/Nier). I would like to help you making your video more accesible in a certain way so I'm finally asking, could I translate your video in french (like making french subtitles) ? I saw that we can't add subtitles so I suppose that you would prefer to check if the translation is accurate or something like that.
I was in a weird place with jrpgs when I have my ps2. I played all that I could put my hands on, and atelier games where one of those! A lot of good memories.
Omg I’ve never knew Mana Khemia was apart of a greater series, I always loved the that game and especially the alchemy part of them. I’m definitely gonna give this series a go
same here, i enjoyed mana khemia 2 on psp, didn’t knew there are other games of this Series, will try escha and ryze 2 now😄
My first was Rorona when it released, and I have played them all since that one. Rorona likewise is special to me like your number 1 is to you. Hard to believe it has been 10 years since then.
Firis was my first start to the series and it was thanks to your video, no idea why it isn't as loved.
The top atelier game for me is Firis and the second is Sophie.
But I love the character Sophie the most. And the scenes about Sophie saving Lydie and Suelle is so touch.
i tried to get into the franchise but never knew where to begin. Appreciate it
Man I really need to get into this series
When I first discovered it, I really loved the aesthetic of the Atelier series, so I immediately wanted to try it out. I eventually got Atelier Sophie on a sale...but after multiple hours of play, I just couldn't get into it, so I dropped it.
But I don't want to give up. I haven't started it yet, but I've borrowed Atelier Lydie and Suelle from a friend, and from watching this video Atelier Firis seems like one that might be more my taste. Here's to hoping the series can grab me for good!
