Hello again,
you have right of course, the game deserves a decent review.
My my by, each subsequent game the Atelier series a step in the positive direction. It has improved every time with the game principle remains the same. A marked change we also recognize after GUST and KOEI had teamed.
Now to the individual points:
History - I do not want to reveal too much, but for the first time you have the possibility to decide between two characters. There are Escha (one speaks it from Eska), a young alchemist (many are in all of the previous main characters realize) and for the first time a young man, Alchemist Logy. Depending on whom you choose, the story is told differently.
Graphics - to the graphic is not much to say, it has not much changed since Ayesha. The colors are beautiful, the characters are lovingly decorated, nice cheesy and detailed.
In the countryside almost no changes are reserving, had it not put much emphasis, which is of course a pity, but the game, in my opinion, does no harm. It's all there, just not formed so lovingly.
Now the most important thing - gameplay - the game is on time, everything you do, takes time. It has every four months a main quest and quite a lot of small tasks and side quests. If you plan everything, you have no time constraints and it goes ahead without any problems.
The point system (similar to Meruru) also exists here, the more quests you do, the more points you have and
the higher your rank increases.
The world map reminds us the first look at Ayesha, but once you Step into the place to get a new inner Map opens. The system was already present in Rorona. What would also be worth mentioning, is that on the map appear exclamation point when an event takes place somewhere,
that is brand new.
The combat system is turn-based and basically everything has remained the same, but you now have 6 people. Three in the front row and three in reserve, which gives us more tactical options.
One of the most important parts is natural alchemy. Again, the basic principle has remained the same, who had already played Ayesha know what to expect here. It is only slightly redesigned from the design.
Music / Sound - the music is beautiful, as in any game of the Atelier series. Very varied and suitable.
Speech / text - as already mentioned, is all in English. No German subtitles available. Most scenes are with sound output and the English speakers do a good job. Japanese voice acting is also available.
That's it, I hope you have as much fun with it as I :)
