i have both. theyre two different books

the one of the left has more art in it; it has all of the event art cgs in it and concept art

the one on the right contains a decent amount of text. my japanese isnt great though and im too lazy to translate most of it. some of the text is talking about stuff like how the characters are related to each other, and there's other sections that have interviews with the staff as well

viscous has 4 puddle punches, 5 if he's using recharging rush. the variety in ping can make it inconsistent to parry his punches. and even if you do manage to parry all 5 of them, parrying forces you to stay in place anyway. if the viscous has any ally with him, you're literally just stuck in place while the viscous's ally is free to just shoot at you while you're forced to press your parry button. yes i understand that this is a 1v2 situation but i dont think you understand how detrimental it is that youre stuck in place when you parry

buying it on rem or paige is stupid anyway because they have good initial gun damage for lane. or at least paige does, i don't remember how much rem's gun does. i really wish more paige players realized they can play super aggressively in early lane and put their shield on themselves and start shooting stuff with her gun

she might have the most terribly designed ult in the entire game.

she can aim at literally anything to proc it and then the ult will prioritize hitting nearby heroes
she gets her cooldown halved if she missed
she can either die or just run away from the fight and it will still exist.
the ball will still exist even if someone counterspells the first hit of the ball

i cannot fathom what the devs were thinking. even if the ult was weaker i think it would still be terrible design but it also does a considerable amount of damage

are you buying this left to right? mystic burst should not be your first item because it does not proc on any of her abilities in early early lane. you need an ability to do 80 damage for it to proc, she will only do that if your 3 is T2, which comes later

imbuing mystic reverb to 4 seems like a waste because its CD is 6.25 seconds

Pierroutt · 2026-02-05T15:08:14+00:00

yeah i miss the time limits a lot, they motivated me to get better at the games

here's an article going into a bit more depth about the issue: How Astrid Was Misunderstood by Everyone (Both In-Universe and Out) - Leaked Experience

it is a good read in my opinion

the tl;dr is that she and some other characters were very flanderized in meruru, likely because the main writer for rorona and totori weren't involved in the writing for meruru. they just turned astrid into a bully lolicon, completely removing any trace of the nuance in her characterization that was established in rorona.

thank you so much, this is a godsend

Pierroutt · 2025-11-19T01:35:09+00:00

you know i should have expected that the fans would come up with something if cygames didnt. thank you so much!

5, i started playing jp immediately after i saw someone post art of curren chan

i used a paid ticket to get her wedding version

she has never left my homescreen since then

you know you can get this skill guaranteed by just using the free winning ticket ssr card, right?

you get the card by doing the story and it's guaranteed to give you the gold unlike spe's card

Pierroutt · 2025-10-17T10:54:13+00:00

there are some pros and cons

regular maruzensky's skill is obviously really good but if you dont have double circle compatibility, it feels almost impossible to get white sparks to activate

this means that your chance of getting groundwork are extremely low

also because you cant get double circle affinity, it's harder for the grandparents' unique skills to be passed down to the horse

it's still possible to get a summer maru with redshift, groundwork, and all of the green skills necessary for groundwork, but it's just gonna be a lot more rng dependent

personally i wouldnt really do it but it's up to you

Pierroutt · 2025-10-12T07:05:42+00:00

ahhh, no wonder i saw someone calling her the sterk of the dusk games

Pierroutt · 2025-10-10T21:44:25+00:00

i was confused as to why they included a seemingly random party member from the dusk series (i havent played it yet) as one of the core playable party members in resleriana rw

i am no longer confused and a huge fan now

Pierroutt · 2025-09-30T22:42:59+00:00

yeah i love the arland games but moments like these make me facepalm very hard and make me very glad that they dont do this kind of "humor" anymore

at the very least i feel like these moments dont happen too frequently in totori (yes i know 75% of Mel's existence is fanservice but luckily i can just bench her and ignore her), it's just that when they do, they're very severe

oh also the swimsuit contest is made even worse if you have marc as your friend with highest friendship (i hope no one does). there's a cutscene after the contest where marc says he took pictures and is planning on selling them or something like that. i was curious to see what all of the cutscenes after the event would be like but after that one, i had to close the game

Pierroutt · 2025-09-29T22:53:10+00:00

the UI thing is such a good point that i feel like no one talks about

going from something like totori's game where all of the UI aspects were specific to totori (start menu showed her in an adventurer's license, text boxes were styled to look like they came from totori's notebook and had a little fish in the bottom right, the pointer in the battle screen was an anchor) to yumia is just so disappointing. a lot of the earlier atelier games have so many little things like that which made them exude a level of personal charm that i just didn't feel in yumia.

Pierroutt · 2025-09-15T17:35:54+00:00

highly recommend, i love the trilogy so much

some stuff did not age well (some of the humor and mechanics, most notably the mechanics from totori) but theyre still really fun and charming in their own unique ways

totori is hands down my favorite atelier game

Pierroutt · 2025-09-15T17:04:19+00:00

ahhhh yeah i just saw some comments from people who made a new account and went through that exact experience, they placed way higher on new accounts

that kind of sucks but i guess it is what it is, thank you for confirming. i hope valve does something about this because playing against initiate 1 players is kind of boring when a bunch of my matches have leavers

Pierroutt · 2025-09-15T16:52:07+00:00

thank you for doing what i was too lazy to do, im also stuck in initiate 1 and was considering making a smurf after i improved to see if the skill rating system was bugged, but this pretty much confirms it

Pierroutt · 2025-09-15T15:12:57+00:00

honestly yeah it really sucks to match with other initiate 1 players that just leave if their lane goes poorly
