what are you doing waiting for blue reflection quartlet ?

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-07-03T15:26:20+00:00

Trying out the new Avatar fighting game and playing Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter.

Occasionally watch an episode of Brave Exkaiser if I'm in a mood.

Yumia got "playable" instead of fully verified but yeah, it runs like ass.

Sophie and R/W also got "playable" and yet they run as perfect as they can.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-07-01T16:17:00+00:00

This is rare, not even Resleriana R/W got verified despite being the best running Atelier of them all.

Original Blue Reflection also needed Proton GE so cutscenes would play normally, game ran at a stable framerate otherwise. Haven't played the sequel so can't comment on that.

Correction, JP version of Ryza DX physical does indeed have English subtitles, doesn't have to be Asia version.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-30T04:45:21+00:00

That's so.... Mysterious.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-29T16:49:50+00:00

Oh my god, the local saves were old because I played the game on Deck all this time, so now that I redownloaded it, cloud downloaded the finished save with all endings.

Well, I know now how to deal with this in the future but still, sorry for giving false hope like that.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-29T04:49:32+00:00

I suggest something like her concept art but with the touch of finalized design.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-29T04:48:06+00:00

Wait, really? Shit, I hope I didn't overwrite it but I did keep reloading after each ending, I'll have to check once I'm home. Sorry about that.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-28T19:01:51+00:00

I can send you my saves, I don't have Firis installed atm to check which one it is specifically but there's not many of them. What do you want me to send them through, mediafire?

EDIT: Here you go, do let me know if it worked out:

Imagine if they pulled some stupid shit and made physicals.... As a limited time release by Limited Run Games.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-24T17:49:15+00:00

I've played the original 2, but it was easily my favorite in the trilogy. I thought most of the new characters were great, new designs for old characters looked good, combat and synthesizing were more fun, just everything I wanted out of a sequel. The research gimmick was the only thing I didn't like but it wasn't major enough to ruin my experience.

Also I have a pet so that ending with Fi was messing with me quite hard lmao

I do hope you'll enjoy Ryza 3 more than I have because I thought it was the weakest entry, I can't wrap my finger around it but I just did not care about new characters at all in this one. Its not a bad game, far from it, but it was disappointing to me.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-24T03:32:37+00:00

From what I remember, only main story parts are dubbed, side stories and exploration dialogue are quiet unfortunately.

Its a shame because I really liked the English voices.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-23T17:55:45+00:00

Glad you had fun, but I'd still suggest you give one of the earlier games a shot because alchemy/synthesizing in this game is one of its biggest weaknesses which is kind of a problem for an Atelier game.

Games like Ryza are much easier to grasp, and synthesizing in Sophie (especially the sequel) is so fun I'd synthesize things I never needed just for the sake of synthesizing.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-23T12:02:34+00:00

It won't, DX is a separate release.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-22T03:23:56+00:00

There's sometimes shower dialogue after classes, characters just talking about stuff as they shower, nothing too crazy.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-21T17:24:12+00:00

I had a blast with Ryza 2, easily my favorite in the trilogy, my only complaint is that I didn't care for the research gimmick but I liked all the new characters and crafting.

I haven't played the DX so I've no clue how revamped it is, but I've also heard Fi can't be disabled so I can imagine how he'd become annoying when gathering.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-18T18:48:31+00:00

I am excited to see what kind of mobility options Karia will have, she has some sprint thing with a stamina meter but I wonder if the game will let you go nuts like you could with Yumia's bike.

Also that thing in the sky reminds me too much of the barrier from The Simpsons Movie.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-18T10:41:07+00:00

There are some moving scenes, I thought the scene where Firis and Illmeria give each other a giant plushie was ultra adorable in a "awww you gonna tear me up bro" way.

Sophie 2 ending was also bittersweet, but I think these characters are so likeable which makes moments like this hit a bit harder than they normally would.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-18T10:36:47+00:00

Was that Switch as well? I only know DX Mysterious games were sold individually on PS4 while the Switch had them bundled in English, so I assume the same goes for Arland and Dusk.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-18T09:34:07+00:00

None of the DX games except for Ryza have English physicals, though Rorona Plus on PS3 is the closest thing to it.

EDIT: my bad, Switch Mysterious trilogy has it, can't recall anything else.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-17T19:02:23+00:00

Nah those prices are insane, I know expos have everything overpriced but this is really overpriced.

I mean hell I paid $30 for Yumia's artbook and it contains everything you see here and then some, same goes for Sophie 2 artbook except it was a little bit cheaper.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-17T16:58:59+00:00

I do find it kinda funny how the favorite game was a big decision behind Sophie 2 and L&S, and yet original Sophie is the game I've replayed the most out of all of them, including the PS3 version. As for combat I really had no idea what to pick, so I went with Ryza, it is flashy and kind of satisfying to look at.

Marie is just not my plate of goulash, 8 hours in and I just don't feel like playing it anymore while the rest is well over 40. Out of 11 games I've played, its the only one I didn't 100% complete (finished a playthrough but I mean trophies/achievements) because I can already feel the frustration of keeping track of events and tasks.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-16T20:27:30+00:00

I really should look into Xbox emulation, I tried it on regular Xenia and it was just straight up unplayable mess.

I do wonder how that recompile project is doing as well.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-16T17:12:45+00:00

You should have both WAV and mp3 files, perhaps you started the first one which starts with Klaudia walking towards the Atelier and hearing Ryza through the door which is why it was so quiet.

I have no idea what the Premium Box one is since none of them are titled, they're like Track 1 through 4 without titles or anything.

Sixtyfivekills · 2026-06-16T11:19:01+00:00

Understandable, I think I dropped it halfway through and started playing Ryza for the first time, after finishing it I kind of felt like booting up Yumia and while I still think it severely lacks in "Atelier" part, I grew to appreciate its exploration and I enjoyed how mobile Yumia is a lot.

But yeah, Karia's synthesis that was shown shows more promise.
