Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book DX

Beautiful cozy alchemy game with all charming character !! This is the first of the mysterious trilogy so its nice at starting point especially for newcomer the character story is heartwarming and the interaction is funny also makes you sad sometimes. in my opinion the main story is a bit short but there is plenty side char interaction. also if you already beat the main story and credit rolls keep going there is some mission to transition smoothly if you want play the next mysterious series, atelier firis!. the alchemy in this series is good, easy to learn but hard to master especially keep transfering trait from one item to another and make it loop until you achieve the highest possible quality will take time. the combat is also fun, enemy is challenging. there is enemy can smash your butt even on easy difficult if you not prepare enough XD. i beat this game on despair difficult defeat any boss that require you to create the best equipment with the best trait. im looking forward to play atelier firis next!

[h1]The beginning of my story with the Atelier series[/h1] Atelier Sophie is a very special game to me. It is where it all started for me and it was very nice to replay it now after more than 10 years here on Steam to revisit some old memories now that the series seem to be going to a different direction. I will not write an actual review of the game, but will write a brief part of the memory of the experience that I had when I played it for the first time on my PS4 more 10 years ago and a reflection of some of my thoughts. I remember I played Atelier Sophie just because it was for free on the Japanese PS Plus. I had a PS4 at the time and was a trophy hunter who would play literally anything just for the platinum trophy and decided to play it just for that purpose and I did not know anything about Atelier, nor did ever hear about it before at that time. And well, I ended up absolutely loving Atelier Sophie and it was where my journey with the Atelier series began and I became a big fan of the series and proceeded to buy and play all older games and the following Atelier games. The game also made me a huge fan of JRPGs and niche games, which are now the genres I play the most. It…

There is some kind of nostalgic feeling as I play this game. Not the kind of playing the game again after a while nostalgia, in fact, this is my first atelier game I played. But somehow, the vibe, the story, the world, all of it, makes me feel home and be a part of the game. I don't know what kind of power does this game possessed, but one thing for certain is that atelier series will always be a home for me. Not just a comfy game, not just an RPG game, it's home. There's always a moment where I open the game just to listen to the OST, knowing the fact that I can't find it anywhere on spotify (except the Ryza's trilogy). I hope atelier series will always offer me the same feeling, the feeling of home and nostalgia.

Best atelier game

I had watched someone else play this game years ago, and since then, the itch to mess with potions has increased, so I picked this game up to try it out (I basically forgot everything except random story and plot bits). Overall, i love and enjoy this game, and I can't wait to eventually get to the next game in the mysterious arc. While it might seem below I have more gripes than pros, the many gripes are greatly outweighed by just how fun the potion system is once you truly understand it, and get enough going to make some broken traits (for example, there is a trait that trivializes every battle. Personally don't plan to use it but it might be useful for certain farming.) Pros: - The potioning feels so GOOD when you get a max'ed out result, and then seeing Sophie stand there as she commits war crimes with a nuke is great. - On death, you get sent back to base with a portion of your inventory discarded, but no game over. I'll accept it. - The story is cute, her friends are fun, the town is wholesome. There's enough yapping to keep you busy for a while. - Bless refills. Cons: - Lots of the information you need to git gud isn't actually told to you that well (i…

Fun once you gen into the item crafting
