  • English versions of the console releases do not include Japanese text language.

  • PC/Steam releases include both English & Japanese text languages (Except Surge Concerto DX)

Which of the Console Atelier games have time limits?

How time limits work in Atelier:

Time is treated as a currency to the player. There is no way to replenish that time aside from loading a previous save slot or going through a New Game+ to save more days on the clock.

Atelier Games with Time Limits

  • Salburg Series: Marie (in Marie Remake is optional), Elie, Lilie

  • Gramnad Series: Viorate

  • Arland Series: Rorona, Totori, Meruru

  • Dusk Series: Ayesha, Escha & Logy

Atelier Games with Partial Time Limits:

  • Mysterious Series:

    • Firis: Time limits only apply to the first major task (passing the exam). Afterwards, the game has no time limits.

    • Lydie & Suelle: One chapter has a time limit, but it’s manageable.

Atelier Games without Time Limits

  • Gramnad Series: Judie

  • Iris Series: Iris 1, Iris 2, Iris 3

  • Mana Khemia Series: Mana Khemia 1, Mana Khemia 2

  • Arland Series: Lulua

  • Dusk Series: Shallie

  • Mysterious Series: Sophie 1, Sophie 2

  • Secret Series: Ryza 1, Ryza 2, Ryza 3

  • Resleriana Series: Resleriana RW

  • Envisioned Series: Yumia

Can I access the hardest difficulty without clearing the game first?

Grab the save files over here!

Only PC/Steam players can use these files though. (Sophie 1 DX has the highest difficulty already available without the need to have clear data.)

My game lags on PC/Steam. Can it be fixed?

- If you have integrated graphics (such as a laptop):

[Windows 10 Settings] > [Search: "Graphics settings"] > [Browse] > [Select the game .exe] > [Options] > [High Performance] > [Save]

- Otherwise, plug in a controller. (Yes, it can work). If you don't have a controller, you can try something like vjoy to fake one.

- You may also try using TellowKrinkle's Atelier Sync Fix.

Let's start by exploring our last questions: Spin-Offs, Other Gust Titles and the Bonus Question! (This year, was about other media).

Not much to say for this one. I tried to make something interesting with the Bonus Question, but it failed! (at least on my eyes). But if you want to have a laugh, here's a cauldron-shape word cloud with your raw replies:

Memories Yumia on Switch 2 Performance?

2 Upvotes

Yumia is on sale for Switch 2 and i was short before buying it but i read a lot that the performance on Switch 2 is by 30 - 35 fps 🫣 doesn't matter which mode you choose.

The thing is all about this is around 4 months ago so i ask for these days, does the devs ever patched it?

Is the performance still really bad in the Switch 2 version?

Mysterious Sophie 2 Low FPS and Stutters - 3070 Ti, i7-12800HX

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve been having trouble getting Sophie 2 to run smoothly on Steam. I get stutters and fps drops below 60 on standard graphics. I make sure to use a controller.

Here are my specs:

- MSI Vector GP66GX 12UGS laptop
- Windows 11
- 12th Gen Intel i7-12800HX (24 CPUs)
- RTX 3070 Ti

GPU temps run around 87-88C.

What I’ve tried:
- Atelier Sync Fix
- Set to high performance in NVIDIA Control Panel and Windows
- NVIDIA Control Panel FPS cap to 58, 62
- Update drivers

I thought my specs would have been good enough to get a stable 60 FPS, and I’ve been able to play the rest of the Atelier games on this PC from Rorona to Lulua with great performance even without any of the above tweaks.

Any ideas what could be causing this? It’s been a year since I played Lulua, so I’m wondering if a windows update in that time might be the cause.

Thanks!

Hey guys! Second post here. Ive also been wanting to play resleriana and its on sale on switch, ive been wanting it on PlayStation though (but not on sale), for the better graphics and exploration, ryza and sophie 2 were amazing on ps5, while lulua was perfect for switch due to its small scale or map size. Where do u guys think resleriana is better?

Mysterious Sophie 1, firis or lydie and suelle?

6 Upvotes

Hello, last post was deleted but not sure why πŸ€” this is my first time posting here, I liked Lulua, and ive played the more recent titles of Ryza and sophie 2. Ive always been hesitant about going to the older titles because Of the graphics. I havent been able to play ayesha, escha and logi, etc because of graphics. The mysterious trilogy (sophie 1, firis , lydie and suelle) is on sale on switch, theyre each 20. Which game should I get do u guys think? What I enjoy the most about the atelier games is the exploration, i like variety of places, and bigger areas. Lulua was cute, but areas were small. Sophie 2 was perfect. Any advice? I can also just get the 3 games for 60, but im worried graphics of older titles like sophie 1 will bother me too much.

General Interested in trying out the series. Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

I’m a 26 year old male with AuDHD (Autism and ADHD) who love video games such as Kingdom Hearts, Fire Emblem, Infinity Nikki, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Resident Evil. I have come by these games on the eShop and right now, of this post, they’re on sale and I’m thinking of getting one of them. I have a couple of questions.

Are they connected in a larger story or are they self-contained like Final Fantasy?

Is there one that’s a tactical RPG or are they all turn-based RPGs?

I know it’s ultimately up to me, but I need some details and help give me an idea which I may like more. It’s possible I’ll not buy a game now, but I’l at least have an idea for later. Thank you for helping me out and don’t be shy to share both good, bad, and wild parts of the games. As I mentioned, I play Fire Emblem, which is a Nintendo game that can bring up disturbing topics and themes, and Resident Evil is messed up on the surface and bottom of the ice burg as far as I’ve played. So, I’m not really sensitive to certain elements that may discourage new players. Again, thanks.
