Atelier Ryza 3's pushed release to the same day as the Resident Evil 4 Remake is a match made in heaven! I was purposefully avoiding trailers for Ryza 3 but I was floored by how ambitious it was. The team has come a long way!

Terrific video. Trails is for me what Atelier is for you: it's the #1 thing that everything else waits in line behind. For example, I loved the first Shazam movie years ago, but Shazam 2 came out three days after Trails to Axure released, and, sorry DC comics, but fighting for Crossbell and saving KeA's smile comes first. I'm sure I'll get to the next Atelier game soon enough, but I've just spent the last 16 days doing nothing but playing Azure, and I finally beat the game last night. What an amazing experience! Hope everyone gets to play it soon!

So, I had to pause my 2nd playthrough of Vesperia DE. I am the final dungeon of the story and was working on the Sword Dancer fights, so it's not too much longer before I complete it. The reason for the pause was Ryza 3. Been waiting for it since Ryza 2. Really enjoying it so far. I got far enough to get one of the new people in my party. I really like the actual open world feel to it. Like seriously, running from one part of the world map to the other without any loading screen is awesome! I am taking my time with this one as it is my relaxation game. And the chill vibes are aplenty. IF I have one negative about the game , it would be the DOF option. The weird blurred effect makes it hard to play at times. I learned the devs received feedback about the DOF feature and are working on an improvement for it. Some good news there. Other than that, it'll be just me playing Ryza 3, then going back to finish Vesperia DE. I would've been interest in Advanced Wars 1 & 2 Boot Camp, but I have the original games and still play them. Thanks for the video!

This month, I plan to finish Azure, then go straight to Trails to Cold Steel 2 (I played the 1st one last year). If I have any time after Cold Steel 2, I plan to play either Persona 4 Golden or Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. I also picked up Atelier Ryza 3 last month, but I don't plan to play it for a few months since I just finished 2. But I'm very excited to get to it!

Love these vids, they're as comfy as the games you're playing! This month I played through Ryza 2 to get caught up and started Ryza 3 (but have only played four hours). I took a slight break from JRPGs for Resi 4 Remake which is why I haven't touched Ryza 3 much yet, but I did go back to play Final Fantasy IX as I've never finished it - and I'm on the last disc of that game now. I'm also chipping away at Theatrhythm, but I don't want to play through tracks from games I haven't finished so I've got to get through what's left of IX, as well as V, X-2, and the XIII trilogy, though the Steam Deck is making these much easier to find time for while I'm commuting. This vid has reminded me that I really need to get back to NEO TWEWY as I only played a few hours of that. I've got a little time off from work coming up, so I'm planning to get cosy and really focus on finishing some of those classic FFs first. Unfortunately the Trails series is on the backburner for me atm but I find those games so text-heavy that I have to be in the mood to actually play them.

Thanks to the synopsis feature in the menu, I managed to pick up where I left off pretty cleanly. I haven't finished the game yet, turns out it's a good bit longer than I thought xD

I actually just picked Lost Sphear back up, and I remember when I first played it, it just didn't quite scratch my JRPG itch, but now it's hit the spot just right! It takes a minute to start breaking into the meat of the game, but I'm glad I picked it back up. I'm really enjoying it. I've also been playing Tales of Symphonia and Fire Emblem Engage off and on. Both are cool, but I've just been using them as filler games for now.

I will say start with either Ryza 1 or Sophie 1. The games have subseries that are related with each other, but you can start from the start of any subseries. After Sophie comes Firis, Lydie & Suelle, Sophie 2; or you can also play them Sophie, Sophie 2, Firis, Lydie & Suelle. The subseries are: The Salburg series (Marie, Elie, Lilie), the true start, but it's Japanese only. (Although we get a remake of Marie later this year in English) Gramnad (Judie, Viorate), also Japanese only. Iris (Iris 1, 2, 3) which plays more like a normal RPG. Mana Khemia (1 and 2. I haven't played them, I think they play different from the other atelier series). NDS, actually spin offs, but I kinda like them (Lise, Annie, Lina. With only Annie with an English release. Annie isn't that well liked, but I liked it). Arland (Rorona, Totori, Meruru, Lulua). Dusk (Ayesha, Escha & Logi, Shallie). Mysterious (Sophie, Firis, Lydie & Suelle, Sophie 2). Secret (Ryza 1, 2 and 3). There is also Nelke, which is a spin off, but it doesn't play like an Atelier game, but more like a town management game. It includes characters from previous Atelier games, since it was released for the 20th year anniversary of the series.

I don't remember if it's during February or March, but I got back to Pokemon with Y on the 3DS, I'm still at rhe beginning of it but I've been prepping for my gen 6 only run thanks to the Wikis that were a great help with that. March was also the end of the 3DS and rhe Wii U eShops, so I managed to bust out the dough in getting as many JRPGs I coild get my hands on before it was too late. Finally, there were 2 mobile games I wanted to continue progressing, those being Dragon Quest Dai A Hero's Bonds and Echoes of Mana. Sadly, both games are coming to an end in Aprik and May respectively, which sucks especially for Echoes since it hasn't been a full year before shutting down. Nevertheless, I still have plenty of JRPGs and other genres to replace them, which is a good thing since it's snowing again in Montréal for the coming week-end.

I am also really enjoyed Atelier Ryza 3. I cannot believe that there is someone who has already done a speed run of this! I have a couple of issues with this one though no matter how much I love the series. The first is the blurry DOF which is giving me a headache every time I play. The second it the microscopic text of the subtitles... took me a while to even see there was subtitles! Of course the other main game I have been playing is Trails to Azure. I have been doing a second playthrough of Persona 4 but I should be done with that later today once I beat Margaret.

I feel like I shouldn't be cuz it's not like they are that great but it's just the town is so amazing to look at. I walk slow pan the camera and just look at the city at times. I think its cuz Ryza 1 felt so small and 2 just feels bigger. I know 3 has places from 1 but does it have new places that feel bigger and grander in scope? If so I'm probably gonna be blown away again lol

If you do decide to go for them, I'd suggest keeping an eye on the cooking achievements to make sure you're getting the recipes, keeping track of which ones you've cooked and eaten and getting the ingredients for those you haven't, and make sure you focus on raising your pets early enough on, and also make sure you get on mining in the Lake Mine early as its AMAZING money. Still nowhere near as rough as some games I've 100%ed. Excluding the bugged cooking achievements, it was leagues harder to 100% Disgaea(I do wish there was an achievement for beating Baal on Etna Mode). The hardest achievement for me to get in Disgaea was dealing 10,000,000 in one hit, and the only reason I was able to do it is because I found a level in the item world that had like +150% or +200% damage bonus from geo panels.
