it's not so much an issue, but the game require a lot of button to play so people are having a hard time mapping the button. The game is highly recommended to be played with a controller, unless you are familiar with Emulator game and can put up with it.
Ya I just played last night and first thing I realized is that there is no mouse option and I had to map quite a bit of keys. It took me a good hour to finally find a comfortable/easy to remember key binds. This could be an issue when the game will require to use a lot more keys during combat so I did purchase a Xbox one controller today which feels a ton better. It’s unfortunate but it’s still worth it cuz.. thighs.
Man that's a nice figure hahaha (pun intended) but too rich for my blood.
Koei Tecmo and Gust: We're going to ruin Game Freak and Nintendo's career!!!
Hey looking for advice last aleteir I played were on ps2 dont remember much. I plan on starting with this one would you recommend getting on ps4 over the switch. And if I like it and want to collect the other games on the switch or ps4. I love playing RPGs but have never played some of the recent entry of this series.
No time limit, that’s such a relief for me. Time limits always stress me out. 😋
remind me of logy and escha....im reached last level fighting a semi final boss i think the dragon boss but my level is sooo fucking low and weapon also not that great.....in the end "fuck it" i end up sold it....logy and escha is the only atelier series i loved because one of main character are badass male alchemist.
This game any good?
Tbh, I would have liked that it had time limit. I really liked that mechanic in the Arland plus games , especially in Meruru which you had time limit but it was somewhat forgiving.
Im so slow and dumb i woldnt can play if it had lol
Outside of the first half of firis, there hasn't been a time limit since shallie
Everyone: thiiiiiiiiighs!
Me: damn, that bust looks like it wants to escape the prison of this shirt
That's how I like my anime game wahmen... 乇乂丅尺卂 丅卄工匚匚
読めねぇぞこりゃ
@@___xyz___ It says EXTRA THICC...
Neon Dawn I agree, she’s thicc but her limbs are thin, where some guys like me feel chicks should have some meat over the body, better to cuddle 😆
@Neon Dawn I said her limbs, her arms are thin
Neon Dawn yup, both limbs, her arms are thin to me 😆
"She has been described as a tomboy"...a THICC tomboy
lmao! XD
You can get aroushed pretty much 😅
A girly tomboy which is like no tomboy at all
We can add than into tom as thomas or tom as raider or was catatomb 🤪
Very abnormal tomboy, lol
The weeb in me wants this pretty bad but my backlog is insane right now 😭
Same I'm busy with DQXI atm and I Haven't even finished Astral Chain, Daemon X Machina, Link's Awakening etc.
Atelier Ryza and Outer Worlds are fresh from the oven...
But I still need to start Indivisible at some point...
Same man... adult life sucks.
Same, tryna finish FE Three houses and DQ11 is next
A gamer's backlog is always insane, man. I have so many games I own, but have never played, or only played a little bit of before getting distracted by something prettier.
Thicc thighs and no time limit. Sold. I liked the time limits when playing Arland games but as I've played more games, I like the freedom of taking as long as I want more now.
time limit would be a game killer for me
I'm so glad I bought Thighza Atelielegs
This is truly a masterpiece, thank you for sharing.
This was my first Atelier game. While the battle mechanics and alchemy system can seem very overwhelming, a few hours of letting the combat auto pilot while you push buttons, in addition to spamming the "high quality" autocraft button for alchemy, and you'll eventually figure it out enough to play the game effectively. Came for the thighs, stayed for the plot. And by plot, I mean Lila.
In all seriousness, the game is worth the $60 price tag, and I don't say that much in the current age of gaming.
Admit it. You bought this game because Ryza's a huge meme.
@@philithegamer8265 I bought it because the gameplay looked colorful and smooth, and Ryza was easy on the eyes, which is important when she's gonna be on the screen the whole time. The massive thighs and booty shorts definitely helped too.
I'd rather play an attractive cute girl than some flat loli.
@Phili the Gamer what meme ? thigh ?
@@philithegamer8265 to be honest i never heard of this series or even seen any stuff of her
@@kingdomsoul8968 Everyone in the JRPG community has heard of Ryza at least once in their life...
THICC THIGHS IS THE NUMBER 1 REASON I WANT TO PLAY THIS GREAT GAME
I also want the statue.
Just remember that the jiggle Physics only work on the pc Version 😔 so keep that in mind
"practical adventuring attire"
roger lapp wait what?! What about the PS4?!
Finally someone being honest about why they're interested in this series now. Lol.
I just finished the game. It took me 75 hours and I didn’t want it to end. I was synthesizing in my sleep! I purchased Arland, Dusk and Mysterious trilogy as well as Lulua which means I will be very busy! My favorite JRPG!
Silver MrE how was the story?
Never been interested in the series, but this one caught my interest. Hope I like it.
Same here. Maybe it's those thighs...👀
I love jrpgs, so I never understood the hate.
This is not that part you should start acquaintance with the series. Believe me! Trilogy of the dusk much better.
@@Ultra-Niche-Gaming Just because he's not interested doesn't make him a hater of jRPGs
@@RebellonRM Does Troligy of the Dusk have timelimits? I've only ever played one, that being Totori + on the Vita... and it's sort of ruined my entire view of every Atelier game.
What really sells Ryza for me, other then her *THICCNESS* , would be the focus on the other characters and the shift from the usual Atelier girl power plots (sans the first 2 Twilight gsmes and nearly all of the PS2 era games) and gives me something worth investing in...
This game is surprisingly great! Very wholesome levels and is very calming to the soul. And also, *THIGHyza*
Man that music sample was great, looking forward to playing it when it finally releases here.
I’ve never played the Atelier games before but I’m thinking of picking this up. And not just for the thighs, I’ve been lookin for something to push me into this series and this seems like it
Honestly if you’re not a fan of slice of life anime, you won’t like this series.
It’s my first Atelier game and the thighs were what caught my attention and was my main reason to purchase, but after playing for a few hours it really is fun. Just be aware that you’ll probably want a controller if playing on PC. There is no mouse option and you’ll have to bind keys that represent the controller buttons.
The game system is pretty hardcore, and needs time for grinding and gathering materials...if you are not a fan of it i'd say dont pick it up
i love slice of life anime, i need a game to grind while i watch anime, and i love me thicc thighs. my order is coming tomorrow
"There are no time limits here. You can progress at your leisure."
Finally! An atelier game i can play without that pesky time limit! I once bought Ayesha on the PS3 as my introduction to the series and that damn clock turned me off faster than you can say game over! I hope Ryza will be a good re-introduction to the series for me
That have been other Atelier games with no time limits...
You had me at "no time limits". I absolutely loved Atelier Meruru and was set to max out the alchemy book, lvl up, and do lots of questing only to get cut off at the 5yr mark and the fun was over.
I'm personally hoping for a remaster of Mana Khemia: Alchemists Of Al-Revis, the true best games in the franchise!
Mk1 and mk2 are the best, the battle system and the environment, still the best in atelier series imo
Debatable. Iris had a better story than either MK 1 or 2 and Shallie has MK2s combat almost 1 for 1 (mk2 had better frame rates, but that won’t be an issue any more once the Dusk remasters are out)
The only thing mk2 has going on is the school setting.
mana khemia was so good, argh. I want more of that game type.
Speak it into existence
While I support the idea since I really loved the game, I highly doubt (like 99% doubt) they're gonna do it considering how bad Mana Khemia was received in Japan. The PTSD they got at that time was too strong that they won't dare touch it ever again, especially with how kinda badly the "Atelier series" is doing in the passing time. But now that THICCNESS has come to save the day, the chance of it happening may probably rise in the future, probably.
I've played a few Atelier games in the series now. Totori, escha & logy, and ayesha(ayesha being my favorite) . I always loved the art style and the crafting in these games which is what rly attracted me to them. The stories and battle systems aren't bad but surely take a bit of a back seat in these jrpgs in my opinion. Thankyou for the review as I am stoked for Atelier Ryza :) It looks absolutely beautiful and I'm truly looking forward to the new crafting and battle systems. It's about time this series got an upgrade! I will be getting the PS4 version first and depending on how much I like it I may get the switch version later on. Thanks again for the great review.
@Final Fantasy XIII They really do look super cute lol. Seemed like the closest art style to a Tales of game at the time I first played an Atelier game
You had me the moment you said "they got rid of time limits" I played a few Atelier stories and noticed that the greatest flaw to enjoying the game was the time limit. The success of the game was always time management and making recipes in a certain amount of time. to put it bluntly it rushed the player into doing so much alchemy and no world exploration. I think I might give this game a chance.
The Atelier games didn't had any time limits for some time now about 5 years now I think, so the games are Atelier Shallie, Sophie, Lydie & Suelle, Lulua and Ryza those 5 games don't have any time limits.
@@everythinganime1140 Awesome! thanks for the info, I stopped playing Atelier because of those damn time limits. then failing missions.
I really like Time-management in this series. It's one of the main reason why I liked this series. But it seem like soooo many people hate time-management. I dont know why I don't think it's that hard. I can finished all Atelier game without much pressure.
Just discovered the channel as I got the game for my PS4 and omg this was so helpful, short and sweet-to the point. I am subscribing!
This is THE review I was looking for before i purchase. I have always wanted to get into this series but something has always stopped me. It looks like this game has everything I want now to get into the series. And honestly, I like them thick!
0:44 THANK YOU!! This has been rattling my brain for the past month on which version to buy. It's not about graphics, textures, or performance, it's that the significant jump and polish of those graphics that impressed us with the first trailer is significantly less noticeable on the Switch and a handheld system is my favorite way to play this series.
@@rockapartie Are the 'downgrades' in handheld mode resolved somehow in docked or no? Not that I'd base my purchase on that, but I am tempted to get the PS4 version if only for the trophies lol
The whole "I wanna go on an adventure" plot that covered most of the first half really reminded me of the first Grandia game.
This game is on sale on Steam right now and I am strongly considering get it. Thanks for making this review, it was helpful.
The crafting system seems very similar to the mana khemia series. And I loved the crafting system of that series. The combat too! It's like a 3d version of mana khemia!
Not surprise the switch was not going to look like the pc and other consuls when comes to details and graphics of the game. I’m still getting the switch version just because these games I sadly don’t have time for when it comes sitting down and relaxing hours of gameplay. On the go fits my life style. Thanks for the review tho!
Same gonna get it on my switch
Im super glad Atelier Ryza: got an anime. I hope we can get a S2
When there's a body slider option for thighs.
YEAAAH
No clear meta goal for the first 10 hours, no time limits, more than one character has plot development and the main character is the queen of all thiccs and a tomboy . . .
So this game is an anime?
Always has been lol
Indeed, Ryza has gone full anime...
I miss time management
"Praise the THIGHS"
You actually pronounced 'Atelier' correctly. You are the hero we deserve. Lol
i'm french it's easy to prunonce lol bcuz it's french word lol
“There’s no time limit”
Me: *download it right away*
I don't understand. What do you mean by time limit? I'm looking to try this game out
Mr. Rogue in most of the atelier game, there’s time limit in each chapter or when you moved to new main quest. Meaning we’ll be given days/hours to finish the quest or main event. The time passes when we travel to the areas, when battling and also during alchemy. The more complicated the alchemy recipe, the more time it takes. In atelier rorona, the time passes even when you move to the next frame even in the same area. But you’ll eventually be able to create items that can reduce the amount of time passes.
In some instalments, you can only choose certain events so you’ll need to choose which characters you want to know more and you won’t be able to view everyone’s story.
I’m not sure how the other players feel but it really stressed me out. I feel like I can’t do anything carelessly because I won’t have enough time.
I played atelier ryza and I enjoyed the freedom the game give me. I can also feel the depth of each characters because they have many interactions with each other as they traveled together. Each characters are great and I just in love with Ryza. She’s strong willed and fun which is different from atelier’s usual naive mc.
If you’ve played other atelier series before, you’ll enjoy atelier ryza. But if it’s your first time with atelier, I hope you’ll have a good time playing it because for me, atelier is one of my favourite instalments because the concept intrigued me
@@niafarquem5402 thank you very much for the explanation. I haven't played any of the titles in this series but this one caught my eye with all the Ryza for Smash talk lately. The time limit stuff sounds pretty stressful cause I'm big dumb when it comes to deep craft/alchemy/synthesis stuff. lol
But with no limit, I am infinitely more interested now and i'll probably pick it up.
Never played an Atelier game before, but you review makes this one sound pretty interesting so ima have to try it out. Big thanx!!!
You know its going to be a great review when the intro is cultured enough
Great review. You are able to breakdown the different aspects of the game in a great way without rambling on. Not many can do that.
Pre-ordered the game now, thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review mate. Will likely pick it up once I'm done with Ni No Kuni.
Last Atelier game I played all the way through was Atelier Iris. And I LOVED it. This one looks pretty good!
Really happy to hear Ryza turned out well. I'm happy we were able to get 3 Atelier games in one year. Can't wait to play this in a couple hours when it unlocks on PSN. I went with the digital deluxe version.
Wait, a couple of hours?
@@sergeanttailsrko4589 doesn't unlock till 3am for me. Actually i mispoke its less than an hour.
@@Makoto03 Oh, thank god, I was sitting here at midnight hoping it would unlock my preorder. Didn't know I was gonna be waiting until 2.
This game just jumped to the top of my list.
I love the track choice you chose to include in this game, it is a true banger
ThiccMasterGeneral made me lol while watching the review!
The grid feels like Mana Khemia, which I really liked. I have yet to play this game and desperately wanted the limited edition, but if I cannot get my hands on it, I'll aim for PC instead.
Ryza is a snack she's chun Li levels of thigh thickness
Yooooo! That intro!!
Lord in heaven, look at that bulging shirt at 6:22.
Man, the music sample is awesome
I will have to check this out sounds like the step for the series.
I think they should be the ones to make a Shield Hero game. The alchemy system could be used for a shield system. He could put materials into the shield to unlock new ones.
I'd totally be down for a Shield Hero game
@@joeldowell5059 Better not be a fighting game. Demon Slayer had so much gore potential
I'm glad I saw this review before I pulled the trigger on this game. As of this comment, the game is $30 on Steam, butI wanted a second opinion before I bought it. Will definitely pick this game up now. Thanks for this :)
I bought deluxe this is my first atelier game so if I like ryza besides her thighs I'll buy the physical and atelier games for my og psvita as well
Just got my physical copy for the Switch tonight. Hoping all of the stuff that comes with the digital deluxe version will be avaliable for purchase separately.
I've been playing this series since the first game released in the usa. So much has changed. And while yes alot has changed we saw the rise of alchemy in the first three then in mana-kelemia we saw the fall of alchemy. And these last games since then how the fall has affected the world and how it was forgotten then it's slow rebirth. Each story is short but the overall worlds story is truly grand. I think I still have the first three games in storage. People should see how the original synthesis system was. That was a pain and more like a slot machine then skill.
So many games right now and my backlog is crazy. Still need to finish Control, man of medan, judgment, yakuza 3-4, borderlands 3, assassins creed odyssey, the outer worlds, and now death stranding, star wars and need for speed are coming up this month. Let us breath! 😪
You should throw greedfalls in there. It was honestly a pretty good game and from your backlog list I feel you'd like it
Playing it on PC and it sure looks great!
I have the switch version so I take offense to his remark but i haven't experienced any switch problems or frame rate issues and the graphics are actually very rich I've already cleared the game and I love it honestly and I'm new to the series
Same! No problem at all. Still not finished but lately I play it the whole time since exam phase and graduation is done now and I need to wait until October to start visiting the university. Eldenring will keep be busy too now
amazing extra thicc waifu aside, this is my favorite atelier game, period
Nice review!
Well yeah the game is pretty short since there is more DLC in the imported version I think, but it isn't a bad game though, I didn't really spend the entire time making space for items and still finished everything I wanted to do quickly.
omgg the intro with her peeking through lol
thanks for a solid and concise review. -___- so many people making it so hard get an actual review with gameplay. was hoping the game was more my style but lost it once u described alchemy. guess i'll just stick to rule 34 art.
I'm sooooooo excited !!! I played my first 4 Ateliers on the PS3 and i loved it *-*... I'm looking forward to Ryza. .... just need to save some money :> i want too much games damn. The one thing i dont dislike but dont know sometimes makes me mad is the time limits but that is the Atliething like in Rorona i never had the time left i needed... so Did i understand it right ? That it doesnt exist in this new Atelier ?? (sorry im not native in english :>) If i understand it right ..im more hyped ~
I think i get this for the PS4 ... We'll see
~
2:40 yeah, that’s a lot of character. Yeahhh
This game has a story? Cool, I'll have to check it out when I'm done crafting. I've wasted hours at a time in this game just making cool stuff. Fantastic crafting system.
FOR THE POWER OF THIGHS!
Really enjoyed this video! What are the games in the first 40 seconds or so? They look amazing but I don’t know their names 😂
Here watching because I've never even heard of this series, but noticed theres a sequel releasing soon.
I just finished Ryza. It's a great jrpg. Very fun.
I started Ryza 2 right away.
I wish they would remake Mana Khemia! I know it’s not a true atelier game but it’s my favourite by far! Would love to be able to play it on the Switch!
*insert thigh based double entendre here*
But it's good to know this game is great, my wallet is hurting but I'm going to gladly keep it open just enough for this game
I've always questioned time limits in a game series designed for slow and relaxing
Game play
Hence why I'm a bigger fan of the mysterious trilogy as that game only
Had one very gracious time limit due to its open world nature
Hence why Ryza is more fun if harder to grasp at first
"There is no time limit..."
No need to go deeper, I'm already sold.
I am a long time Koei Tecmo customer for better or worse. This is my first Atelier game and I'm shocked just how high quality this game is on PC.
Jay I also made the mistake of getting the Switch version when I should have got the steam one, that realization is maxed out when you see the mods that are available :(
that snippet of the OST kind of sounds like something out of sword art online
ryza extra thicc thigh is cool, but how about the brave decision done by koei to let one of the first companion to be a fricking berserker?
5:29 poor Rimuru xD
I played 4 hours into it, and i'd say this game is absolute gorgeous! Always stuck gazing at the clear sky for couple of minutes especially in morning/day. The gameplay too has become faster than before, not as a common turn-based anymore. Characters and plot has more adventurous vibe than before.
If you love jrpgs, you have to pick this up.
I though I was the only one staring at the sky in the morning haha
@@alrrruunoda7955 You can literally even see the clouds moving. Why is that impressive? Cause it even shows up on the explorer map at times how the clouds float over the island like you a actually look from above.
This is my first A.-t game, Once its finished I def wanna play more a.t games
20h for game? I could watch Lila-sensei for 20h only :3
That is literally how I saw this game. Just pure rule 34 service
I'm going to buy this, thanks.
I would honestly say the game feels more like the PS2 era Atelier games. Which I think is too its benefit. It has a nostalgic feeling to it like I am playing Mana Khemia for the first time. If only they'd bring Mana Spirits back.
I'm about 6 hours in the underpowered but amazing Switch verson LOVIN IT!!!!!
People seem to always judge games by how long the main story takes, but forget that the main story isn't all the game is.
Skyrim's main story can be beaten in like, 6 hours. 10 if you suck. But Skyrim was held, and is still considered by many, to be one of the greatest games of all time.
100% agree. Skyrim is THE GAME.
Never played this series and i bought it today, don't know why maybe because those thigh lol
You had me in the first 10 seconds.
Is there just one language option or do they have dual audio?
Woah gonna buy it on steam!
But somehow i still can't move on from atelier iris series 😂♥️
Taking notes 📝
Thicc thighs save lives !!!
That title is gold 😄
Looks interesting! Been wanting to try a new JRPG franchise (I started Trails of Cold Steel bc of you this year). Any major JRPG series that this one would compare to?
It's hard to compare Atelier to other series because it's one of the only series like it that regularly gets localised, it's most like what the Shining series has become over the last decade (Shining Resonance Refrain being the latest localised title).
Atelier occupies this spot in between smaller scale/lower budget JRPGs and mid-upper tier JRPGs like Tales. They generally have a development cycle of 12-18 months with budgets on the lower end of adequate so you do have to go in with the right level of expectation.
They mostly tell smaller scale, personal stories focusing on the main protagonist and a handful of other characters. The stories have somewhat of an open-structure, with optional scenes triggering in certain locations at certain times, and the expectation that you'll get distracted throughout by the main gameplay elements: Alchemy (crafting), Collecting, and Combat.
Combat is turn-based and was pretty standard until Ryza which really changed it up a lot (for the better), Alchemy has been getting deeper and deeper as the series continues, and collecting (for materials and ingredients) has mostly stayed the same but functions like a dynamic treasure hunt - different tools can give you different materials from the same object (e.g. hit a tree with your weapon and get fruit, slice it with a farming scythe to get some bark, and chop it with an axe for wood.)
The main sacrifices the series makes is in world size, graphics (on a technical fidelity level only - the art-style is fantastic), and the OST which I would normally describe as "fitting but largely forgettable" (with a couple of exclusions that fair better, including Ryza).
@@JRPGGaming Awesome - thanks for the quick response and vids!
So on a whim I got a copy of this for PS4, since it’s hard to find new. Came across your review to see if I should try it, and I definitely think I need to. I’ve never really played a slice of life anime game before, and the crafting system looks like it’s a blast. The mention of mini sphere grids definitely interests me. The OST clip you chose to play as well also helped sell me on playing this. I love a good OST if I’m going to be grinding in a game and it sounds like there’s some good stuff in this package. Thanks for the video!
didn't know you could pick both thicc thighs and thigh gaps
Well there goes some more cash. Grabbed the Steam release as per your advice. Earlier release helps too!
I am just about to add a message to my pinned comment regarding this but I have heard there are some issues with keyboard and mouse controls on the PC version. It might be worth it to check out the steam forums for the game to see if there are any major issues that are going to affect you.
Apparently the PS4 version is very close graphically to PC so that is an option too!
(Switch is also a great option, I just felt like I didn't really that get that initial wow-factor with the graphical jump from Lulua to Ryza but that's mostly a one-off novelty.)
It’s all good I’ll play with a controller anyway. I imagine the resolution will be lower on PS4 so I’ll stick with PC.
Something odd has occurred though as Steam released the game a day earlier than planned...I purchased from GMG so still waiting!
Is she a Paladin? Because those thicc thighs will save MANY lives.
Great review
