    In Ryza 2 i liked the fact that you can swim but annoyed me a lot, I hated the battle system and the menu was terrible. Sophie is better in all the aspects, but is less explorative.

    'You can def play on easy difficulty... I do.' *smile and hair flip* That's exactly how I feel too, Ircha! Games are for fun, after all. Having the choice to have easy mode makes me happier. I want to get the physical game but I might buy digital if it goes on sale.

    Just found the physical on sale. Trying it now. I see what you mean about the synthesis... I might do auto too. I got Ryza 2 for my pc and Sophie 2 for my Switch lite. Sophie 2 looks much better. Gotta say I enjoy synthesis in Ryza a lot more. But Sophie can jump! Yay! Each game has its own thing. I think I like both, but if I am playing on easy I don't know what would make them hard. Maybe monster fights are harder and possibly requests are more difficult to fulfill? I would probably recommend Ryza 2 for new players. It's more accessible with the alchemy synthesis. Plus you can swim underwater.

    I have been aware of the Atelier series as a franchise that exists for a long time but never looked into it. Atelier Sophie 2's release made me really look into the franchise for the first time today. Doing so brought me to your channel for the first time. I watched all of your Atelier reviews and this series seems mechanically and visually right up my alley. So after much deliberation on which game to make my first entry into and now I can't wait for my copy of Atelier Lalua to arrive on Tuesday I love your review style and enjoy your videos so I subscribed to the channel

    Hello Ircha i really was waiting for this Video, last year my girlfriend bought me a game for my birthday, i wanted Tales of Víspera, but she misunderstood and gave me Atelier Ryza. When she noticed it was the wrong game she told me to return it to Amazon... but... but...BUT... I investigate this unknown title, and i saw your review, thats the way i found your Channel, and i gave an oportunity to Atelier Series, and now i love it. I also got Atelier Ryza 2 and im very happy to see the series have been recongnized. I really enjoy your reviews. Greetings from México.

    I just finished Sophie 2 two days ago, it was so good! Story-wise this is perhaps the best one I've experienced from Atelier games (I've played all of Arland subseries, Mysterious subseries, Ayesha, and both Ryza games). Gust really put so much effort in making Sophie 2 a more story-driven game, compared to Sophie's more character-driven story. All of the characters genuinely had connections with each other and loveable. The graphics are- oh so good! I especially love how much facial expressions were put in the characters this time and so many times I cracked up from Sophie's expressions 😂 All in all, I think Sophie 2 is slightly better than Ryza 2. While I kinda missed some of the exploration mechanics like swimming and climbing, I definitely do not miss that awkward rear-angle shot when Ryza needs to crawl through walls. Though I believe that's specifically made for Ryza for her... developed form. I'm glad Sophie 2 doesn't have that mechanic because I can't afford to see Sophie like that (she's my first Atelier protagonist and I don't like to see her being sexualised).

    Would you recommend starting out with Sophie first before Ryza? I’m a newbie to the series but I’ve heard many praises for both Sophie and Ryza 🙋🏻‍♀️ also, would you mind sharing how long are the gameplays for each game in general?

    @@DulyDullahan if you wanna play a relaxed and character-driven story, I would recommend Sophie. It is much simpler than Ryza in terms of combat, synthesizing mechanics and the story is not as convoluted. Though I have to say Ryza wraps its story and game much better than Sophie does.

    I might try this one. I played the Iris games when they came out. Ryza brought me back and I just finished 3. 2 is my favorite by far, the npc quests made the city feel so lived in.

    Yep I got into atelier because of you Irene. I am still waiting to get my copy in the mail. I like ryzas fusion synthesis system but I like the older battle system and not the active style..its great for ryza but I think they ruined blue reflection with it. So I've heard that they are considering doing English VA again but fans need to make that known they want it. I also don't see anywhere on the eshop the bgm pack they used to offer for free for Sophie 2 either.

    I disagree. I like the battle system in BR and the Japanese acting makes it feel like more of a jrpg to me. A big reason I play these games is for my love of Japan. It wouldn’t be the same if it was developed in another country. Plus subs are more like reading a book so you get something good for you in the process : )

    I usually avoid JRPG's but I saw this review and thought I'd give it a go (thanks!!). I still have no idea what's going on but I'm really enjoying it so far. I really want to like more JRPG's and excet for Child of Light(for it's excellent mechanic), Ni No Kuni(because Studio Ghibli) and Monster Sancturary(just because) excluded, almost every other turn-based JRPG has failed to cross some sort of barrier. I'm still working out what that is, when I figure out what is so enganging with this game, I might be closer to figuring that out.
