I cannot believe how much more badass Klaudia is in 2 and 3 compared to the first. I didn't have anything wrong with the flute attacks, but seeing her fly into battle with the bow and land those amazing combos is just SO satisfying every single time
I'm so happy that Atelier games are getting more popular as they're all good to great games. Ryza is like Final Fantasy VII, in that it introduced a lot of new gamers to the series. At least that's what I think.
0:25 There is also the Atelier Iris which is a trilogy, but there were 2 different Iris'. One in 1st and 2nd game - she wasn't playable (only played a major role in a story) and the other which was a main and playable character in the 3rd game. Both of them looked kinda the same.
Happy to hear Atelier Ryza 3 is a great conclusion. Also enjoyed the open world in Firis, so happy they decided to try Open environments again and improved it for Ryza 3. I love the synthesizing element in Atelier games.
@@NoisyPixelNews i just pre order atelier ryza 3 ultimate edition i love playin this game it is so fun and highly addictive game i already beat atelier ryza deluxe edition now im almost done playin atelier ryza 2 ultimate edition 😃
Waiting for my premium box to arrive tomorrow, but i gotta finish Ryza 2 first and then i wanna play some other games too before this. But its good to hear the series ends on a thigh note!
I love the world and characters of Ryza most but the combat never really clicked with me at all. I’m a bit concerned to hear it’s gotten easier with shorter battles, but I might give it a shot and just play on the highest difficulty.
I really don't get how people don't like the combat in Ryza. It's like if turn based battles, Paper Mario battle actions, and an action RPG battle system rolled into one. It's easily the best Atelier battle system, and I've played at least 4 other games in the series. (Annie, Rorona, Ayesha, Escha and Logy)
@@infamousincubus2888 Just keep in mind that the battle system improves the further along in the game you get. Levelling actions (in the first game at least) makes you hit more when you time button presses. It can be fast and hectic if you really master the battle system.
I'm glad they replaced the flute for an actual weapon, no matter how fast Klaudia was in AR1, the animation for the flute was so slow, it felt like ages for her to finish an attack.
People are joking about tighs and so on but For me liking the characters personalities and their adventures is what made me fall in love with them And it is really sad seeing them for the last time :(
Something memorable about this series is that (at least in Europe) it never goes on sale 😂. I've been trying to snag the 2nd one but it's perpetually at 50 euros
@@MuffHam it’s very expensive and may make the difference between a game being able to get a sub translation at all or not. JRPG’s are niche and Atelier is niche within that genre. Not complicated to understand.
I own the first two but haven't finished them. I played enough of Ryza 1 to know the characters. I might do what I did with Xenoblade 3(finished 1/DLC and half of part 2), cut right to part 3 and actually play it. I heard that Ryza 3 has a decent recap of the first two games as well.
I've played the first hour and I like it. But I had to stop myself, because I havent played the other 2. So I will play this once I'm done with the other 2 first.
I never played the franchise but it has always been on my radar since the first Ryza game a few years ago. It looks like a game I would enjoy but it feels like something is holding me back to actually dive into in and I don’t know what that is. For the fans of the Ryza games, could someone convince me why I should try the game (besides things like thighs and jiggles lol)? Maybe some of you have the convincing argument to actually start playing those games
Hey what do you think have you tried the game yet? For me this game are very chills type games, played 1 & 2 on the switch, despite downgrade its perfect way to play jt since I can grind materials and synthesize on my bed. If you like chill games with beautifull view and lot of grinding this is perfect for you
Thank you for the review! Quick question, when you mentioned a turn based gameplay, does that mean like Ryza 2, we can't cycle between the active party members>? Or did i misunderstand that. Thanks
You can cycle, but that the worst part because you must timing the cycle correctly for blocking to prevent your teammate from dying It'll easier than ryza 2 tho coz in ryza 3 the blocking mechanism is perfected
for those of u who haven’t play atelier ryza 1 and 2 on the switch yet u need to play this game now this game is so fun and addictive i got atelier ryza deluxe edition i got atelier ryza 2 ultimate edition and i just pre order atelier ryza 3 ultimate edition as well i already beat atelier ryza deluxe edition already and im almost done playin atelier ryza 2 ultimate edition
One last adventure at 21 years of age. Isn’t a bit early for her to retire? Not saying a trilogy isn’t enough I just think it is a bit strange to talk of it as her last adventure at that age. I got the PS5 version of this to fully enjoy the graphics despite having the second game on Switch.
lol its allways the best entry of this series when I look at any on atelier series review. I am looking into sometimes trying this genre but its really not my usual cup of tea so i am very suspicious
If you enjoy or can look past turned based combat, good story, japanese-only language, party management, dungeon diving and this kind of graphic then I'd say you'd enjoy it. The only absolute MUST (imo) is that you enjoy crafting because there's so much of it. It can get quite complicated but I think they've always done a good job at explaining the mechanics thoroughly
Start with the protagonist you like. The previous trilogies can be played in any order, but characters from previous games make an appearance in later titles. Mysterious trilogy and Ryza are probably the most newcomer-friendly.
@@NoisyPixelNews Ahh - Good to hear. It was really bothering me. Not enough to avoid the game. I would have bought it anyway because I like those Atelier games, but it's nice to know the game will be even more enjoyable for me...
Thank you for the review. I really look forward to play this game, loved the the first two. I'm soooo happy to have Bos as a playable character. I honestly don't like how much Ryza evolved into a pear bodytype, but I appreciate some bodydiversity in my anime games
This will be a strange question but do I have to play the 2nd one to play this. I bought the 1st one when it came out and never got around to buying the 2nd but this third one has really caught my eye.
Nice review.. Ryza 3 currently sits at number 3 on my wishlist.. So day one for sure. I made a promise to myself that I will actually finish this time, lol.
@@carolinekifa145 In terms of Steam.... The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, Starfield, Judas, Hades II, SILENT HILL 2... Also looking forward to Diablo 4, FF16, Tears of the Kingdom.. I play the AAA stuff, but RPGs, games like Ryza are my favorite.
@@elkoyomudo4836 most of us know about it, but the real problem is not that it's a mobile game, sure that does suck some, but the real issue is that it's a Japanese only mobile game.
@@buckroger6456 well, being totally honest, the Blue Reflection series is niche af so i can understand why they wouldn't bother launching the mobile game worlwide with all the huge expenses it invloves knowing that almost nobody would care about it outside of Japan.
Even at the very end of the trilogy I still don't understand the whole thighs thing. Yes, Ryza has thighs that are slightly bigger and more pronounced than in usual character designs, but some of you talk like the series is this weird sexy h-game where Ryza is constantly showing off her thighs and being lewd.
@Noisy Pixel cough cough, Mana Khemia as a duology. But yeah, traditionally they tend to be trilogies and in recent times we've had 4th entries for Arland and Mysterious trilogies.
I love this series and these games are some of my favorites. But as a woman, I’d love to hear just ONE singular review that doesn’t mention thighs. Just one.
I'm a firm believer that no JRPG is coming close to how good this will be. Xenoblade 4 will have to drop to beat this. The Developers even extended the release date by 1 month to polish the game. Easiest Ultimate Edition I bought in my entire life.
I'm glad to hear this part of the franchise ended on high note. And with the upcoming anime, maybe the Atelier brand will get a bit noticed by Westerners.
Texts are unreadable small on the Steam Deck. That's very disappointing. Especially when characters are talking while you are moving through the environment.

9/10
OMG, Ryza, we will miss you. 😢
it's definitely an intense conclusion
A-tier Thighza
Atelier for life crafting and synthesis is fun!!
this one makes it faster with some great new systems to make bad ass items.
Love the Ryza series!!!!! Really looking forward to the conclusion of these amazing games!
Maybe we'll get additional map area's via DLC.
Cos they did it with the 2nd entry.

I just wish it had english voices. I got several Atleir games which are in English. So what's the excuse with not doing it for Ryza.
@@MuffHam it’s very expensive and may make the difference between a game being able to get a sub translation at all or not.

@@Dingbat42069 I got 6 Atelier games with English dub. They can do it. They chose not too.
🍗
I wonder what the next step in the Atelier series will be?? I know they are releasing a remake of a classic Atelier game soon too!!
Thanks for the review.
I bought all 3 games, but I haven't find time to play them as I'm currently focusing on other games
Would you say 1 & 2 need to be completed before getting into this one? I have them but they’re in my back log lol

Start with the protagonist you like. The previous trilogies can be played in any order, but characters from previous games make an appearance in later titles.
Mysterious trilogy and Ryza are probably the most newcomer-friendly.
Get a deck.
Should’ve I just jump into the series without anyone lore or knowledge? Looks exciting
I had atelier ryza 1 for a year now but I just started it I know I’m gonna be addicted please help I don’t understand the gear mechanic😂
Can you turn off the filter that makes everything so super blurry on pC?
Ryza 2 is my favourite game ever so my expectations for Ryza 3 are hight.

CONCLUSION? Ahhhh no more Ryza thighs. I'll most definitely miss her adventures.
Still no English dub despite how big this game has gotten..? I normally watch all my anime subbed but for some reason in these games it just annoys me
