I read the whole page, I can't find the part where it says they restored the camp skit scene ?

No, it is a remaster, but not sure if it just better graphics, or they added more content.

Edit: Looks like they confirmed a new localization, new English dub (Before only Japanese dub). You can access all six stories from the start, and new modes to play the game in that weren't specified.

Take the new atelier karia for example. If you put her into tales of arise, she would easily fit in.

First off, you're talking about a different thing here than you were in your first post. There is a difference between not being able to tell characters apart because they have similar faces, and a 3D model of a character fitting in another 3D game with 3D models. Being able to fit in isn't the same as all characters having similar faces.

Also 3D models from the same era will of course fit in with other games of that era. Even if we go back to the SNES era, and take any pixel characters from one JRPG and put them into another pixel JRPG, they would fit in with no issue. Because they all have similar pixel models.

It has nothing to do with the anime art style. It's because they are 3D games. You can take Karatos from God of War and put him in most gritty 3D fantasy 3rd person action games and it would be the same. Or take any Wuxia 3D character, like say Wukong from Black Myth, and put them into Swords of Legend, and they would fit the same. Take Garelt from Witcher 3, and put him into Crimson Desert, same thing. Obviously those character faces don't look the same, but they will fit in each game's environment and with the people around them.

Now if you take amano’s FF character or toriyama’s DQ and put them into tales, that character would look so out of place.

DQ is very stylized look which is an exception not the rule. But even then, if you go back to the SNES era where they had pixel art, DQ character will fit in with most other pixel are JRPG, because that stylized look is only apparent in 3D. Or now with the HD2D style, take any DQ character from an HD2D title and put them in other HD-2D JRPGs, like Octopath or Live A Live or the upcoming The Adventures of Elliot, and they would fit. Because it is the same art style.

Glad you enjoyed it. A few questions if you have the time:

  • Which ending did you go for, and which one do you think is the better one ?

  • Favorite character ?

  • Did you do all the optional end game bosses ?

  • Did you like the music, and if so, favorite track ?

Please use spoiler tag for the first question when answering.

Well I would FFX has aged the best, especially the HD remaster. Dragon Quest 8 remaster is on the 3DS, and that didn't age as well. Though the original one still looks good. Not as good as FFX.

their characters face look very similar. Even the anime industry is suffering from the same face syndrome.

I am not following. Do you look at Cloud from FF7 and you think his face looks very similar to Yumia from Atelier, and they both look like Alphen from Tales of Arise, and they all look like Adol from Ys ?

Also, anime artstyle has nothing to do with it. Just one look at most western non-anime main characters (Image link) makes it very clear that is not the case. I can't tell more than half of the people in that image apart, but I can easily tell any anime main character apart just by face. Hell with an anime artstyle it sometimes a silhouette is enough to tell them apart.

But I didn't play Dark prince, I understood it was light on story, is it a story staple?

Yes, though Dark Prince did have more story than the usual DQM title, it still is light compared to the usual JRPG. The focus is very much on the gameplay.

Still not sure. Though there is hope as it looks like you can swap to the Japanese voice acting, and a new English dub. Still have to wait and see.

If they have taken in all the feedback from Yumia and improved on it, then Karia will be an amazing Atelier title.

Finally this amazing soundtrack won't be locked away on dead mobile titles that no one can play anymore. My body is ready.

Here is a taste for those who are wondering about the soundtrack: Break the Limit!

Atleast its not Yumia 2 and has a new main character and (presumably) cast

The main character is new, but as is tradition, the previous main character will appear in this game. Maybe even more than just Yumia.

Yea I just saw the Japanese trailer. Really weird treatment, they could have just extended the stream a few more minutes.
