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.

I would be really interested to see you rank the Atelier series OSTs!

'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.

You 100% got me into Atelier, Death end 1&2, and basically IF/Compile Heart/Gust games in general. These people are just putting out hidden gem after hidden gem and I'm grateful to your channel for introducing me to them.

Just purchased both my copies of Sophie 2, both for PS4 and Switch! I know I'm going to enjoy them when I have the chance to play them! Ircha, you definitely got me into the series a while back and I thank you! I can't believe I almost missed some great JRPGS!💕

Loved the video. I found a little interest in the Atelier series, in recent years, but watching your channel over time, made me appreciate it so much more. Your enthusiasm for these games have rubbed off on me, and now I always associate the games with you when I play them. They are almost as charming as you are.

Another great review, I do have to say ryza has my heart in terms of the crafting, got introduced to ryza by one of your videos when the pandemic first started & that got me through a lot, now it’s my second favorite franchise of all time, I can’t shake the feeling they will go action on one of the future ones which I wouldn’t mind & thanks for introducing this series to many of us 🧡

I actually love the synthesis in this one! It's the colorful puzzle pieces from the Mysterious trilogy, but with some added ways to connect and strengthen the pieces. I've been so addicted to it 🥰😊

Love your review so much!!! And your editing is always so good!! 🙌🏻🥰❤️ Sophie 2 is definitely my fav Atelier now!

Just started playing this game today. I didn't expect a review this soon.

I've been an Atelier fan since Rorona and I'm really happy to see it reach a wider audience. Thanks for helping to spread the word. 😊

Thanks for this video, I was going to buy this today so perfect timing. I’ve never played the first Sophie game but absolutely loved Ryza & Ryza 2 so am looking forward to playing this!

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

Ircha, I have been following your channel for years and have yet to play an Atelier game. I'm always intrigued when you post Atelier videos. Maybe when I finish Pioneers of Olive Town and Rune Factory 5 I can catch a sale and pick one up. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love your channel. It's always informative, wholesome & fun. ❤️

I love all of you content creators who have been covering atelier games for the longest time. Because of you I have just bought my first atelier game (sophie 2) and can’t wait go try it for myself!

A wonderful video and I like your talking style so much! Thank u for helping me to fall in love with Atelier Sophie 2 even more❤

Girl you got me into Atelier series after watching your reivews on here! I believe this will be my starting point to the series.💜

Because of your recommendation with ryza 1, I got into atelier. Thanks for the review, looking forward to checking this one out

my sister introduced me, but you got me to try the series, I'm super excited that Sophie has a sequel finally it's been my favorite so far and I'm excited to get the game soon. You are the channel I return to for specialized gaming reviews.

Thx for sharing. I was soooo looking forward to this. I’m hoping it’s going to be the best of the series!

Very nice review! I've been looking at getting in to the series... kind of narrowed down my starting point to Mysterious Trilogy or Ryza. I do have and enjoy Blue Reflection Second Light, but haven't played an Atelier game yet.

Im so glad ive watched this as ive asked for this for birthday which is next month and cant wait to try it. I started playing atelier ayesha because of watching your video's and i love it and cant stop playing :)

I love this game so far (my first Atelier) and I love your new hair!

Thank you so much for the review. I love the Atelier series (have all previous ones on ps4) and Sophie 2 is the first i'm playing on Switch Lite. Very impressed by it. Runs well and nice to play the series on handheld. :)

Been waiting to watch your review til after I finished mine. Great review! I agree with pretty much everything you said, except for the Synthesis, which I actually enjoyed more than the system in Ryza! Thanks for the vid!

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.

In regards to content and length. It is for $60. Only problem is tht there are so many. Look, I am not defending the price point since its expensive for me and I havent played it. Bur it most definitely is expensive. But the price point makes sense

Irene, me too, was introduced to the atelier series by you. I found a second hand Lydie and Suelle so I got it and loved it but I had to ask my nine year old to do the bosses for me, I totally suck at combat. I have preordered Sophie 2, I’ll get it next month, I went to check my game shop. They said next month. Will be worth the wait! I’ve been waiting for you review on Sophie 2 even though I knew it would be good lol.

Only like 6h in but i love it so much! Way more than Ryza. I also use auto synthesising, really convenient (unlike in ryza). I agree with everything you say in your review. They nailed it, can't wait to progress the story!

You converted me! Bought Ryza 2 in December and it's been so good.

I bought Atelier Ryza and I'm in love with the game. I'm happy that there is so much Atelier games to enjoy. Those games are beautiful and amazing. Thanks for let the people know about this game series.

Yes you are the one that introduced me to the atelier series! Lol! I love these games. I am working on 100 percenting atelier ryza 1.

I'm so jelly my preorder hasn't arrived from playasia yet! It has finally made it to my state though...lol. Great review as always!!

Haven’t played a Atelier since the ps3 days. Then played ryza and it was great. This looked like a step back from Ryza but watching this video making me want it now. Great vid

yeah, you definitely converted me to the atelier series. Much appreciation for being the first on this for me.

Yep you were the one who got me into the series starting with Ryza 1. :)

Thanks for the post.Been wanting to play this game for a while.Havent got get any new game's other then Dying Light 2

Barrel! Thanks for the great review! Playing on PC--it's great!

I have the first Atelier Sophie, I'll definitely be getting this one too. Also a long time fan, since the mid 2000s. The first I played was Atelier Iris 3 on the PS2, and from there I have gone back and played 2, and most of the series since. A ton of fun.

I find it interesting that you rate the newer Atelier games positively because a lot of long term fans are more critical of the newer games. It's great the your appreciate the entire series. I loved Ryza 2 the most so far and look forward to playing this one. While I am enjoying the older Ayesha game from the Dusk Triology it seems like the series is improving and evolving, not getting worse.

I'll definitely pick this up with the ryza series. Thanks for this!

watching your videos on the atelier series makes me want to buy every single game!!!

Was waiting for your review since it launched.

This is a series I never played before. But watching your vids makes me think I should fix that! I think I’ll seek out the Ryza games to give it a shot.

Cool review video Ircha! And that accent never gets old!

I'm enjoying it a lot. I think it is super accessible and would be a great game for someone new to the series to start with.

Proud to be one of the people who were introduced to the Atelier series by Ircha Gaming 😎 they are fun and enjoyable games especially for a beginner like me 😉 thank you Ircha Gaming ☺️

I am one of them. Your reviews 100% got me into the series

Yeah, it was because of your reviews that I got into the series.😍

I’m super interested in this series now!!! Thank you! Which game would be the best to start with?

Yeah you got me into these games, I got this physical cheap but I need to finish ryza and I want to try blue reflection second light what's sitting in my backlog

It is another great game in the series. I loved Sophie 1 and I'm happy they gave her a sequel. I actually prefer this synthesis as well as combat. So even though I love the Ryza games this one is a 10/10 for me. Thanks for the review!

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).

@@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.

I've just got this game and I haven't played very much of it but I do like what the battle system looks like. The game looks like it's gonna be fun

Hello, came to your channel after your Collab ranking video of Atelier series with Landon to see your opinion of the latest game since it wasn't out yet when you ranked Ryza 1+2 as your top picks.

i was wondering if u look at witch spring 3 for the switch. thanks.

Converted indeed. Currently playing Ryza 2, cant wait to play Sophie 2. Already played (and finished, not 100% completed) : Ryza, Lydie & Suelle, Lulua and Meruru (have the trilogy, but only played this one so far).

Great review as always! Greetings from Discord 😻

I loved the first Sophie, currently playing it. I love how relaxing and chill the game is. I am disappointed that jrpg games rarely have english voice over these days. I will need to check Sophie 2 out when I am finish the first one.

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 : )

We pay money for that and at this point if companies like koei tecmo keep up their crappy practices it's only going to hurt devs like gust. Second light even flopped in Japan and for good reason. Because KT. No one like rushed overpriced buggy games.

I just went back to Rorona and like how easy it is to figure out what to do next. I'm in year 3 and did the minimum requirements of the main assignment. I'm doing them in order because I finally have them all on switch.

Finally, materials on the map!

Haha bought atelier Ryza 2 (switch) , Firis (ps4) and nights of azure 2 because of you. Want to get nights of azure 1, but its quite expensive in my country.

I picked up Atelier Aophie 2 for the PS4. I missed out on a lot of the Atelier games so I am no longer going to miss anymore.

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.
