If you enjoyed the first one, then I'm confident you'll enjoy the second as well. Best game I've played this year so far! :)

Glad you're enjoying it! It's the best game I've played this year, can't wait for the final game (if the trilogy talks are to be believed).

Your reviews are always so awesome! Thank you!

Really enjoyed the crafting & battle mechanics of the first Ryza & the changes in the second make it feel refreshing. Seasoned gamers may want to play on hard. On normal I never reached tactics levels higher than 3. The battles would be over too quickly.

I played it on the highest difficulty available at the time (there's a 'charismatic' difficulty once you beat the game, so didn't get to play with this), and I had a decent enough challenge. Keeping the characters in line with the enemy curve is key.

I'm absolutely blown away by how much of an improvement Ryza 2 was over 1. I had some issues with Ryza 1 (particularly the plot), but all my concerns were set aside as soon as I played as little as an hour of Ryza 2.

I picked up the Atelier Ryza games because I needed something to tide me over until CS4 came out for PC, and I gotta say I agree with you 100% that the second one is an improvement on almost everything. I especially liked that the tactics level and core count went up based upon the skills you used this time, which encouraged the use of skills rather than saving the AP for getting to a higher tactics level like in the first one.

I think what surprised me most is that it trumped one of my favourite games of last year in nearly every aspect. They just took everything that was good about the first and polished it up even more. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the final game in the (supposed) trilogy.

With Ryza 3 announced I went back and watched your two videos on both these games like you I haven't played any in the series, but I've been intrigued. The idea of a more wholesome JRPG where you're not dealing with some major epic threat traditionally didn't seem like my cup of tea, so I never really went further into looking into the series but I've started to think it might be a nice change of pace to the usual "grand epic", your comments and excitement on the games got me more interested so I'm thinking maybe I will give these a go. Thanks!

I think that's the issue, Koei never really drops the price of their releases. Falcom games for example you'll see on sale consistently, but Koei have full control as far as I'm aware, and the price remains relatively similar even a year on. I will say it's worth the money, but I understand others waiting for the price reduction.

Too many awesome games to play man! Luckily we've got a lot of time on our hands to get through them. My YS IX limited edition still hasn't arrived so I might have a chance to plow through YS VI before it arrives (just finished YS 7 yesterday).

This game was mentioned by youtuber MapleSyrupGaming and I acquired it. I have played Persona and the likes and this game is, in my opinion extremely fun. I wish the dialogue could be skipped easier because after 20 times I know how to mix stuff. Fighting can be quite tedious. Colour and story are amazing.

I generally enjoyed Ryza 1 so i gave Ryza 2 a shot and found it a slight improvement, solid enough soothing RPGs wouldn't be surprised of Ryza 3 comes next year

Even switch can hander open world games like botw or the witcher well.

Thanks for the video, I'm in the same situation with Atelier Ryza being my first game and now this one is the second one I've picked up, only put about 10 hours into it so far and I'd heard that it was a bit worse than the first game when it's all said and done but I'm happy to hear you didn't think so.

It's a very good game, the first Ryza was my first title from the Series. But it's different to many other JRPG's, the crafting system is integral to the experience. So you have to prepare yourself on that front.

I play and finish the first Ryza , was my first Atelier game and my last... The game wasn't bad by all mean but the focus on crafting/synthesis is not for everyone. The battle system was interesting but that was it... Kiseki games put the bar way too high lol ;)

That's fair, Atelier games won't be for everyone. Like you say, the focus is on crafting and that's immediately hit and miss for players. Didn't work for yourself, but definitely worked for me. :)

Hi! Can I suggest you? Can you make the Trails series iceberg? There's Trails theories like "Rean's past", "Osborne is Dreichels", "Rufus as "C" spoiler", "Millium's and Altina's creation", "The Black Records", "Trails references in Tokyo Xanadu and Ys", other Falcom work with Trails with secrets, deleted (or discarded) scenes, "one of the unused ToCS1 songs used for Tokyo Xanadu eX+", "pop culture references in Trails series in english dub", voice actors' secrets, a long etc... I have the ToCS4 OST "Black Truth" for the final level of the iceberg. Greetings!

7:18 you could do that in the first game but you had to upgrade your gathering equipment

1 thing that makes this game so much better than the first game is you get item duplicator and gem reduction so much earlier than Ryza 1 and it add so much convenience

Very nice vedio

Atelier games are underated, the combat systems are the best in the turn-based rpg realm and the crafting systems are the best in the video game world overall.

Do I need to play number 1 to play the sequel? I have little time to spend gaming now

The game really does improve and almost every aspect compared to Ryza 1... but it messed up, by that I mean the pacing. It should NOT be possible to make end game items before finishing the 2nd ruin, yet it is. There SHOULDN'T be so many quests and side stories open before finishing the 2nd ruin since its the main story. Crafting, side-stories etc should go hand in hand with the main story, yet it doesn't which makes the main story bosses a breeze to fight through. And this inevitably makes this game weaker than Ryza 1, though it literally improves on every other point... pacing of the game is quite important, isn't it.

Meh, Klein are besically your usual shonen anime protagonist that's loved by every girl while Felt feels like a Gary Stu with the whole choosen one thing, I'll pick Viese over both of them as a better protagonist any day (though, I'll agree that Gray's a cool character). I hope the series never returns to those games ever again tbh, there's a good reason why those games are extremely unpopular among the Japanese fanbase & it's better off for Gust to focus on a new project instead of touching their dead games to please a small amount of people that happens to hate most of their recent games. Also, it's funny that you called every game after those 2 fanservice-y when Iris 1 shows 15 years old girl (Lita) in her undergarment while Iris 2 did the same thing with a 13 years old girl (Fee), most of the fanservice in modern Atelier games are optional DLC, nostalgia are one hell of a powerfull drug I'll tell ya.

Alelie4 Ryza 2: Coomer Tale

is this better than genshin impact on mobile games

I was so bored throughout Ryza 2, they need to get rid of the "puzzle" and stick to just the fun stuff. Their whole idea of puzzle is asking the player to put the square block into a square hole etc, I was so done towards the end. Combat is ok I guess but gets pretty repetitive unless it's a boss fight. Alchemy system is good compared to other games, but nowhere as good as the Mysterious series.

You: I played the game on PC Me: Not sure I can take gaming advice from a casual... get a console. Seriously, I get that most youtuber probably have to play on their computers to grab footage or whatever but it's just funny to hear anyone who is obviously a serious gamer mention that they play on a platform that is mostly just for casuals who don't game enough to justify a console purchase.
