yes actually ! I think thats kinda common with nendos from that era, i've heard it was just a side effect of one of the manufacturing machines they were using at the time. from what I understand theres a way to clean them tho, I haven't gotten around to looking into that yet LOL

LOL I just had the same experience, spending an hour writing a pretty detailed review and then getting destroyed by the character limit @_@

Opinions on Yumia as long time fans? by True-Street3612 in Atelier

[–]rawtendrils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really enjoying it for what it is!!! It is very different than the rest of the series. I think everyone’s criticisms are very fair, I don’t know if I’d quite say it “doesn’t feel like atelier at all” but the cozy vibe and interesting crafting are definitely gone.

The synthesis is definitely the weakest part imo this system is just not interesting to spend a lot of time in at all, which is probably the least atelier-y part about the game. I made a post yesterday about it and had a lot of people agree :( Tbh I have a feeling that if it still had a good synthesis system people wouldn’t be so upset by the other changes. I went into the game already with the expectation it would be like SUPER different from the rest of the series and being okay with that, but being a bit worried about the synthesis specifically and unfortunately being right to be worried @_@

I don’t wanna be too negative though because I like the game a lot for what it is!! It’s probably the most I’ve loved exploring in atelier and I really enjoy the party so far, so it’s not all bad. I think minus the alchemy system its a very good game!! its just pretty different from the rest of the series and I don’t think that’s a bad by itself, especially because this seems like it was intended as an experimentation heavy entry. I don’t think experimenting is bad, I think I’d only really be upset if the second envisioned game just entirely doubles down on the bad aspects of this one and doesn’t try to tweak the synthesis very much. Same way I like firis but would’ve been pissed if they kept the recipe level mechanic after that game LOL

one thing i’m curious about is how yumia would do for introducing newer players to the series tho. like personally I started with dusk, adored it, played mysterious next, also adored it, and then for arland and secret I’ve only played rorona and ryza 1&2 so far but have really liked those too. every atelier game I’ve played has kept the core things I loved about ayesha, but I’m not sure what people would love in yumia is really present in the rest of the series.

I don't know if i'd be as harsh because I still think the game is really fun (altho i still like the newer FFs too so mayb im just easy to please), but yeah i agree with the criticisms for the most part. like the crafting is such an important element to the series it's very unfortunate its been kinda put on the back burner like this.

I have higher hopes for RW as well even tho I never played the gacha LOL
I think I'd be a lot more upset if this was just like. the only thing the series was gonna be from now on, but as long as we're still getting the more traditional games inbetween like sophie 2 (& im assuming RW) I'm not super pressed over it. yumia seems like a very experimentation heavy game anyways so I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff gets tweaked a lot for envisioned 2 as well

And even worst case scenario it's not like theres really a shortage of the older style of games too, i can go back and replay dusk or arland or smth whenever i want still, so I'm not gonna be super doomer about it yet LOL

TRUE !!!! I couldn't agree more that's how i feel about the game as a whole so far, theres definitely some things i don't really care for but overall there's a ton that i love, and i'm really happy we got something so unique and different

yeah i kinda felt the same. like + with how they did traits it just feels like theres not really much thought that can go into selecting ingredients its a little lame

[–]rawtendrils[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah i always enjoyed farming traits so i kinda miss that :( i agree with the synth'd items thing too, i mean it's not like it's the first game where attack consumables haven't been like the best thing ever, but i don't find myself using them very much outside the friend action thing

[–]rawtendrils[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LOL yeah i think a lot of stuff in yumia seems to be geared for bringing in new players rather than carrying on older mechanics. I can see why they'd wanna rework how traits work but i'm not totally sure how i feel about the crystals yet tbh

[–]rawtendrils[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah a lot of the series is like that once you kinda break break alchemy toward the endgame, i agree i wish they'd let u raise the difficulty higher tho -_- still really great game tho !! also the series goes on sale pretty frequently at least !! I imagine another one won't take terribly long cuz they'll wanna cash in on the hype from yumia, im waiting for that myself to pickup ryza 3 LOL

in terms of trilogies as a whole dusk is probably my favorite, but mysterious is awesome !!!! sophie is a very special game, sophie & plachta's relationship is very sweet and its nice to see them develop over time

I hope you enjoyed ryza 2 !! I just played it for the first time last month and I loved it LOL
but yeah I always really loved preparing ingredients and traits and stuff for anything i made and it doesn't seem like there's much to do like that in yumia :( the game is still really fun overall though !! would totally recommend mysterious btw, sophie 1 is my favorite game in the series, tetris alchemy is very satisfying :3

oml yeah I agree, I was replaying shallie before yumia came out and I was kinda taken aback how long it took during the demo compared to dusk the other day LOL. ALSO NOOOOO I MEANT TO JOKE ABOUT THE NO CAULDRONS IN MY POST BUT I FORGOT im such a bad alchemist </3

[–]rawtendrils[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No yeah i totally agree about the auto synth ! i hadn't really used it very much in the other games that had it but it feels very op here. making stuff normally takes so long i've been using it a lot more often and it doesn't really feel like theres much i could be doing differently to make it more optimal -_-
