I would say they are all equally great in their own way. Not until the Blood Elves come does superiority begin.

I guess if I had to pick one I would go with Dwarf or Tauren.

Why is "action" in itself considered "good"? I always find the action scenes to be the most boring parts of movies. Usually I just zone out on long drawn out action scenes.

What does the quote have to do with Diablo 4?

The quote in itself is impossible to be wrong which is why they said it as an excuse for their game. Who wouldn't want more content if they are consuming more than is being produced?

The quote is correct but it is a dangerous mindset.

"We can't satisfy them so I guess we shouldn't even try."

Gamers individually should also look at themselves and how they consume content. Most people just want to blaze through everything as fast as possible then complain that there is nothing to do.

What if all the states do not allow Trump on the ballot but in an outrage like never seen before among his followers they get everyone to write in Trump on the ballot. But all these followers lack the ability to spell and end up writing in the word Turnip. Then a Turnip becomes the President of the United States.

Sounds like a solid anime plot.

On the surface for casual playing these games can probably hold their own enough to satisfy someone who just wants their favorite characters growing up to all fight each other. However, once the fighting game community gets their hands on the game and instantly figures out every exploit that completely exposes the games weaknesses things tend to not hold up as well. Maybe the developers learned some lessons from the previous game but I doubt it as these games are probably just cash grabs trying to exploit nostalgia in a popular genre.

TopicBest Atelier game for a newcomer?
Dakimakura
11/07/23 9:29:43 PM

In a 23 game series, it's completely understandable to not know where to start. I'm here to break it down for you. We usually pretend the first ten games don't even exist when talking about what to recommend, and that still leaves a staggering amount of "modern" games left to talk about.

Overview
An adorable girl pursues alchemy to fulfill her dreams. Instead chasing a great evil to the ends of the universe, shes casually bending space to give herself a better place to sleep when shes on the road. The laws of physics and plain common sense mean nothing to a master alchemist; even the legendary philosophers stone isnt so precious that it cant be made into a tasty snack. Maybe the world is in danger, maybe it isnt, but Atelier is a simpler, more slice of life tale than your typical fare.
Atelier is basically the original item making RPG series. Everything else is a shameful imposter. Probably. More seriously, the series is known for incredibly deep item crafting systems, and the games from exploration to monster drops revolve around this aspect. If item crafting makes you groan, I guarantee you, Atelier is better than what you're thinking. Furthermore, it is not grindy; you won't fight things more than a few times to get the rarest of drops.

Outside of crafting, the games feature standard turn based battle systems (except Ryza's ATB). The game progression varies significantly; many have time limits and involve mild resource management, and the rest dont have time limits at all but still vary a lot. You'll find more detailed summaries further down the page. The more recent games are further known for cute girls doing cute things. You will have opinions on Cutest Alchemy Girl and if you say it isnt Totori you are factually wrong.
The primary thing the series is generally known other than crafting is the 'comfy' or 'down to earth' feel, as well as just being cute games. These ideas are not universal to the entire series, but if those sound like things you like, there are multiple games for you.

The only games that are related are those within the same subseries. So Mysterious has no ties to Dusk, Dusk has no ties to Iris, and so on. You will see characters like Pamela, Logy, Escha, and Hagel appear in several subseries, but these are different characters between each subseries.

Where to Start: The Simple Answer
There are two answers that will work for most anyone: Ryza or Sophie. These games completely lack time limits, making them rather casual friendly.

Ryza
The Atelier series is always on a spectrum between comfy and RPG; Ryza probably leans more toward RPG compared to most others in the series, but it's still more grounded than the usual RPG for much of it. Those of you less certain about the series will probably find it a bit easier to get into. Ryza features a fairly casual friendly crafting system, ATB combat (unique to this subseries), and a pretty standard JRPG style story progression. Ryza is, frankly, a 'low investment' point as you aren't strong-armed into buying three games at once.

Sophie
Sophie is the comfy to Ryza's RPG. It is peak comfort. Kiss that plot goodbye, say hello to everyone in town... and a talking book. The game is very concerned with letting you go at your own pace, smelling the roses. Sophie's crafting system is significantly deeper than Ryza's, but worry not; you don't have to be a crafting god to get through it. If the item crafting really appeals to you, you will find more to enjoy in Sophie.

With the release of Mysterious DX, you are encouraged to get the full Mysterious series at once. The following games are, perhaps, less chill, but you should find much of the same comfy feel in them regardless.

Sophie 2
If you just want to jump into a more modern game without worrying about a trilogy package, Sophie 2 is also a good game to start.
There are two returning characters, Sophie and Plachta, with their motivations explained clearly at the beginning. As it is a sequel, they do talk about the events and end of Sophie 1, so take that into consideration, but everything is clear enough for a newcomer to dive in. On top of that, Sophie 2 comes with a video that explains the story so far.

What about starting with Ryza 3?
Ryza 3's story is easy to follow without prior knowledge; you can start with it if you want. However, you will absolutely get more out of it by playing Ryza 1 first. It's really up to your personal feelings on how much the writing matters.
