Ryza 1 is still my favorite. The pacing of new zones for new ingredients for new recipies was continuous, wherein 2 and 3 the 'older zones' were mostly nostalgia bait with maybe 1 or 2 bonus ingredients that you'd get from an upcoming new zone anyway, and very few of the treasures or secrets to find were worth it.

I have to agree that the original 4 characters should have gotten more time. Lent and Tao's stories conclude mostly fine I think and I'm happy for them both. Ryza and Klaudia left a bit to be desired however. They're obviously close friends, but across the 3 games there's so much that implies there might be something more. I really thought they were gonna be travelling together based on their previous conversations, but no. That being said Ryza becoming a mentor like Empel would be a really nice bookend to her character in a sequel.

I agree with you about the frequency of the random quests, although I attributed that to the fact that I built each atelier with adventure boosts (like seeing treasure chests on the map). You see the reward for the random quest, so I could avoid it if it wasn't good enough. I chose to complete ones offering skill points (like one I completed for 700sp last night). Another feature I don't remember seeing in the other games is the little basket icon in the lower right, showing how much room you have left in your basket. Nothing frustrated me more than deciding what to toss when the basket got full. Edited to add: I appreciated being able to synthesize certain adventure items earlier in the game this time. But a couple of them were used very rarely, and one I haven't used at all.

Seems like there were a few problems with this game, but I'm glad it didn't deter from your experience. I am still not sure if I want to get into Atelier, but maybe I could start with the Marie remake. The one thing that deters me from Ryza is the battle system. It looks like the perfect trigger for motion sickness. I have motion sickness. But I'm happy for everyone else who has a good time with this game. I am still playing Apollo Justice and have to redo an entire section from yesterday because my game crashed while I was in the bathroom. I was almost done with that entire section. I hope you play the other Ace Attorney games too at some point. Since next year you can play the entire mainline series on PC. But still, Ryza looks nice, the crafting looks cool and I just hope you had fun. I still need to solve that case my boy is involved in. Apollo is best boy. And I think you may have a thing for Klaudia. But she is quite pretty, I admit.

But i also love a more easy going fun/happy n light game story and after finaly found a Final fantasy game i actually loved "FF7 Remake integrad" Sadly its so far the only game in the series i liked n i tried alot of them since the PS 1 was released WAAAAY back... So is there a story to be had in this game,would u call it a more easy going light story on the happier side compared to RDR2 and games w death n sadness in it sooo i dont know i only hope and there aint alot of great looking games out there that seems to be more funand on the lighter side of things(of course there are,but then its usually not as good visuals n graphics as in the atalier ryza 3 game) OH yes i also got the Atelier Ryza 2 game at the same time on a sale so hope i like it(once again i buy without knowing all to much about the game exept it looks great) RTX3060 12gb I5 12400f 16gb 3200mhz windows 11 This should be more then enough to run this game in high settings 1080p i think...just strange if its not..

I have been playing this since the release and haven't complete it (how the hell you complete it in 42 hrs while i at 78hr?!) ands I do like it but I prefer the second one over the third one. I did over-power myself (think i did it within 20 hrs into the game) with having no problem beating the enemies and bosses. With taking the combat and the alchemy from the second, this is the correct thing to do as it is perfect as it is and the exploring the world is still fun to do with the landmark to check out and places to find. All character and new one as well, they are really great, it fit the team really well and their backstory are interesting to learn. With the new addition, the key, I do like the ideas with being help in combat and Alchemy, also creating the key from landmark and enemies. I think i have too many keys but they do have different effect on it which what I love about the keys. Now there are couple thing i didn't like , first one is the random quest, I'm sorry but who thought this is a good idea. It is get very annoy and the reward can be very rubbish, I did ignore most of the random quest, but i did some of them as it boost the char stat. Next one is multiple place to visits, i just find it too much, I would think 2 or 3 is more enough, not this many. I am hoping to complete this week or next (i think i am near the end) and see the ending of this grand adventure of Ryza. I will miss this series as I do have a great time playing this trilogy. I will be planning play Atelier Marie remake some point.

Your "too much shit in a box" (paraphrasing of course) metaphor is actually how I look at games development as a whole nowadays. I think it applies really well to the gameplay in this series though, especially the alchemy. People seem to think it's very "slick" or w/e in the Ryza series, and sure, it's visually appealing compared to just looking at a base menu or a cauldron tetris interface like previous titles had, but overall it just feels more and more tedious to me. Every new gimmick, every new "feature" is just another layer of tedium. The same goes for the battle system. Does it feel fast? Sure. Does it look nice? Sure. But a fight in the Secret trilogy actually takes quite a bit longer than a comparable encounter from earlier trilogies... it's just flashier so that the ritalin-addled kiddos won't start looking at something catching the light in their periphery and get distracted or bored. All the extra systems in battle used to "spice it up" just feel like more and more and more tedium weighing it down to me. I miss being able to play with a drink in one hand and not having to babysit extra meaningless bullshit like tactics levels and keys just to deal with random mooks. I won't start on the detriments I think bloated environs (especially open worlds) have on games.

My only issues other then the ones mentioned is the Text Size isn't great, I'm really not a fan of how the Traits are handled (this is an issue I've had since the 1st Ryza game) and the Switch port seems not to run as well as the other two predecessors this also goes for the visuals. Though I think I'm nitpicking with the last two points. And on a personal note and I might get a lot of hate by saying this; I prefer the older protagonists over Ryza not to say she's bad but I found the bulk of her companions arcs more compelling then hers across all three games.

I don't have much experience regarding Atelier games, been introduced with Ryza and proceeded to do the trilogy before going to the Mysterious games (done Sophie, Firis and currently into Lydie&Suelle), and I would say that she's pretty okay. I preferred Ryza over Sophie by a pretty long shot as she honestly didn't feel like much of a character at all. Firis was pretty funny and had the most compelling character arc of the protagonists I've experienced for now, so I would put her above. And finally Lydie/Sue (especially Sue) are just great, my favorite so far. So overall I'd rank Ryza on the low-end in the protagonists ranking if I'm trying to think about it.. But she got thicc thighs so she ends up tied for 3rd place in my heart
