With a bonus entry from the Sophie 2 encyclopaedia.

Hi! This is not particularly new, but I haven't found an high resolution illustration of this one, so I decided to share it.

It's a picture of Annie, Fitz and Pepe from Atelier Annie (DS Series).

Apologies if I used the wrong mans of the Dusk series because I was interested in trying out the game for its moe nature as I saw an image here of a character named Windbell hanging out with the girls.

But basically what I am looking for is get a better understanding of how the gameplay mechanics work such as the timer and crafting system since I have no idea on how to make items to use for my characters to help them fight in battle.

So I'm in the 3rd year of my NG+ playthrough and I started working on this little synthesis chart to have the materials ready for overtime. There are a couple points I'm uncertain about.

First, The CP Pure Oil (Blue left of Tiffany) seems impossible to make. Using the Supplement outlined it always gave me 108 CP max, even when the Cobaltberry had CP boosting traits of its own (though I didn't have all of them).

That said, the Rank Special trait on said Pure Oil seems entirely pointless. It's exclusively used for the Weapon synthesis below, but it's not actually being passed on to the Halmonium ingots, let alone the actual Weapon. Is it supposed to boost the traits that are being passed on or something? I asssumed it only did anything when actually present on the final product. Without that trait the entire CP issue is null and void.

Second, When trying to make the weapon ingots (trying with Platine), the left side went as expected, but on the right side Speed Boost and Speed Charge refuse to merge for some reason. One always overwrites the other depending on the order in which I pick the Pure Oils (C and D).

EDIT: Just changed the formating, sicne reddit loves auto-formatting into numbered lists.

The game won't launch at all for me, they worked fine for the base version, but dx just fails to launch at all.

I would like to know if there were any visual improvements whatsoever in the DX versions of the Switch 1 release compared to their original Switch 1 releases.

I wouldn't expect things like higher texture or density of foliage, but I didn't know if things like anti-aliasing could have been improved.

I've tried looking online, but have yet to find an actual comparison of these two specific versions.

The main reason I ask is although I could get the digital Switch 2 edition, the physical trilogy on Switch looks quite enticing, and with the addition of handheld boost, I'd imagine the differences with the native Switch 2 version would be less so on handheld (though I know there'd still be some).

I went from level 20 something to like 40 something? Is this a bug? Don’t think I’ll need to focus on levelling up for the rest of the game.

Quoting the Post:

Look what Karia found this time.
We have no idea what to call it yet, so we're asking you. What would you name this one?
Drop your favorite idea in the replies — if it feels right to Karia, it might just stick in-game!

This thing is 50 lbs of pure love and GORGEOUS despite being so difficult to bring off the porch lol. If Prime1 ever makes a Sophie I might actually collapse in the middle of a parking lot

I crafted both from the bench, but I can't place them down, I read online I need to select them from the catalog, but the game wants me to craft them again and I don't have the materials, why did the game make me craft them if I can't access them? Did I just lose the materials or am I missing something? Please help 😭😭

This is my first Atelier game, 14 hrs in. I love Yumia a lot. Voice acting is so good and soothing.

I love the battle system too but synthesizing seems too complicated. I'm not used to mechanics like this so I just use auto. Do I really need to spend time learning this, or do people usually get the process right from the start? Nevertheless, I want to continue playing Atelier games because the characters look cute.

I procrastinated on this when I realized it’s a lot of Atelier Firis and I wasn’t a big fan of but I did end up enjoying it once I accept the fact I just won’t see everything blind. The vague ambiguous timeline did give me anxiety but once I got into the grove, it was fun. Ended up with Rorona ending. I definitely feel like I missed a lot of the other character’s story since barely anything happened with them. My team ended up being Sterk and Rorona. I did get to cobalt, fought all the bosses that appears in the license (got wrecked by ocean kaiser and the azure beast in the long dungeon area), beat evil face, and being honest, didn’t feel like fighting some of these super bosses so I sort of skipped like, 9 months, so there was surprisingly a lot of time left over. I got the swim suits from the festival and caught the guardian and beat iksel in the cooking competition so despite missing a lot of the character stories, I feel like I did a lot of the side content despite having so much time. Which is to say, the scary timer was a lot more lenient than I expected.

I enjoy Totori as a character. I’m finding the Arland alchemists sort of funny how they’re almost idiot savants. Especially Rorona, who hilariously seems dumber than the first game but unrestricted. I can’t tell if I’m just bad at Totori or if it’s intentional but I feel like I struggle so much making good items in Totori cause of the cost restrictions on passing down traits. Anyway, enjoyed Totori and felt like sharing.

I am im year 3 month 8 and have recently ran into an issue when saving that when it does the system data and says save complete, it won't let me continue unless I plug my PS3 Controller into the PS3.

I've cleared out old saves and have less than 10

Has anybody else had this issue?

This is the English version of this post. My apologies, as I didn't realise at the time that we were going to have an official version in English (sometimes we do, sometimes we don't).

In any case, the campaign's official name is Karia Dev Council.

We need your help!
Karia's been collecting ingredients for her workshop, and this one still needs a name.
Any ideas?
Reply and tell us what you'd call it — if it catches Karia's eye, it might just become the real name in-game!

I'm confused with the game as recently unlocked Rutger and he's been added to the back row, however I cant seem to swap him in during battle.

I can press R to bring up the option but can only switch to Isla and Viktor, I understand from reading that I should be able to press X to bring up the back row, but there is no option/the option is blank and Rutger appears blue.

I'm playing on Switch/Switch 2.

A particular campaign is currently running on one of the official Gust social media accounts. Quoting (machine translation):

Karia Development Meeting: Call for Material Names! As part of our project to create Atelier Karia together, we’re calling for suggestions for material names!!

What should this material be called…? 🤔 Please reply with a name that perfectly suits the material in the image! Your idea might just be chosen as the name for this material in the game…!?

Please take into account that at the time of posting this, this had only been posted on their Japanese social media.

About the Survey

(Source) As additional news, the deadline for answering Karia's survey ended some days ago. And they have also name this in name of the "Karia Development Meeting" (Of course, this name is machine-translated, so anyone can correct if there's a more suitable name):

Thank you very much to everyone who took the time to participate in the user survey the other day.

Currently, we are compiling and reviewing the results based on the feedback we received from all of you, so please wait just a little longer until the results are announced.

And moving forward, in order to continue building Atelier Karia together with everyone, we plan to gather various opinions through this account. We would greatly appreciate your participation.

It seems we can expect more official community events like this. Hopefully, outside of Japan too.

I really love Atelier Resleriana story. Resna is such a great protagonist that it would be a shame for her story to be forgotten in a shut-down gacha game...

So, I hope they turn the game into a proper Atelier game and release the Resna & Valeria Season 1 and Alvina Season 2 stories as separate games or something!

Then we could get a Resleriana Trilogy with Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian, and The Thousand Lands and the Keeper of All Creation :)

Or, if that’s asking too much, then just an offline version would be fine.
