The Tragedy of a Game No One Cares About | Atelier Annie Review

Ойындар

In 2009, Atelier Annie: Alchemist of Sera Island was released on the DS, soon followed by an international release. Ever since, the game has been considered by fans as one of the worst entries in the franchise and not even worth playing. It has seen so much neglect by the community at large, this is the only dedicated review of the game on KZread. Despite the common opinion I've seen of Annie, I don't think it's nearly as bad as people like to say. It has its own qualities and charm, and I think it's worth a look for fans who might be ignoring it due to word of mouth. At least, that's what I would say, if it hasn't been 15 years since the game's release. But we'll get to that in due time. Join me on a trip to Sera Island as I tell you the ups and downs of this obscure footnote in an already niche series.

    I can't wait to see you cover other Atelier games. 15:30 I never watched that one, but one old anime I liked in the summertime was Zatch Bell, the anime never finished it because I think the mangaka had an injury, but after a small delay he finished the manga. It was one of the earlier animes I liked so much that I read the manga. One Piece was amazing back in the day too, I can't imagine people nowadays watching it, I marathoned and watched 100 episodes over one summer when it was in Alabasta to catch up to it and nowadays people have to watch 1000+ episodes, though I prefer the manga nowadays too.

    "low stakes Dragon Quest by way of Harvest Moon wrapped around a great crafting system" That's a great way to describe Atelier, the way I usually describe it sounds like a modern isekai title: Chilling in a fantasy world with a pseudo chemistry degree and an adventurer's license

    I wonder if we will ever see any of the DS games character in resleriana, they made a small appearence in nelke so gust hasn't Totally forgot about Them. Resleriana has so much potential as a way to get ppl interested in older characters so i hope that gust realizes this and uses some events as a way to tease some remakes. Anyway great vid this was very interesting.

    With Gust making remake of Marie, would be nice if maybe the earlier games can get the same treatment, including Annie. But I might have my hopes too high for that. Also, good video. I'm guessing Annie isn't a hard game?

    I could see them continuing to remake the console games, but I seriously doubt they'd ever revisit the DS games. And no, it's one of the easiest games I've ever played.

    Oh gosh. My childhood game ❤❤❤ Atelier Annie was my first Atelier game. I had a hard time playing it as a kid. I went back to it during the pandemic. Made me realize why I love the game bcs I like the early 2000s anime artstyle and love the 2D style. Had fun doing the alchemy and guild jobs. The characters r so funny especially their dialogue. The character designs r fun and memorable. Fun music. The story feels more like slice of life and when u mentioned the Atelier series is like Harvest Moon makes so much now why I love it. I grew up with Harvest Moon Back to Nature and Hero of the Leaf Valley. Anyway when I played Atelier Annie again during the pandemic, it was so fun and made realize how to do the business part of the game better. Btw I got the Royal Alchemist ending 👍After getting that ending, I'm afraid of playing the other Atelier games bcs Atelier Annie is so nostalgic for me and fits into my taste of artstyle, music, the voice acting, and character designs along with gameplay. If anyone have a suggestion for me to play a different Atelier game that is similar to Ateliar Annie. Let me know! Sorry for the long comment. It's so rare to see a video or anyone talk about Atelier Annie. One of my fav childhood games. Thank you so much this video and best wishes ❤❤❤

    Atelier Annie is legitimately my favorite Atelier game! How? No idea. Why? Couldn't explain it. But it is! It's utterly unique in the Atelier lineup and something about it just hit RIGHT for me

    I appreciate your dedication to this series. Personally, I think the DS has one of the best game libraries so this tracks!

    I love the game, but yeah, even when it came out you could barely find people talking about it. Maybe it was like that since everyone on the ps3/xbox 360 era could only think about how portable games were inferior to console releases (which is kind of dumb, since a lot of ds games are better than a lot of the copy/paste shooters from that era).
