I don't even know where to start. I have so many good things to say about this game. It's not super realistic, but it doesn't have to be. The art is gorgeous. Since the game takes place in a dream world, the scenery is appropriately beautiful and dream like. It's a treat for the eyes at every turn. All of the characters have wonderfully appealing designs. Waifu design is top notch, and there are some really nice fan service DLC outfits as well. The story isn't the most involved or amazing. Doesn't have to be. The main emphasis is character moments, and the ending is truly emotional and moving. Combat is a LOT of fun. Each time a party member is being targeted, you can choose to have someone in reserve block, or allow the party member to take the attack. Blocking can have advantages depending on how you have your party equipped. There are also very flashy and fun to watch twin attacks and epic dual trigger attacks for high damage. The crafting is extremely enjoyable. It is a lot of fun tweaking things to try to get the most out of your weapons, equipment, and items, The soundtrack is just as beautiful as the art, and there are some truly breathtaking pieces. In summary, I am rather new to the Atelier franchise having played only Ryza 1 and 2, and Sophie 1 and 2, but in my limited experience, this is some of Gust's best work. I do not know how they can possibly top it. Get this game. You will enjoy it!

Easily one of the best Atelier games. You don't have to play Sophie 1 in order to play this one; but you will be missing out a little bit on the relationship between Sophie and Plachta. At the time of this review, it's currently the last Atelier game that's properly turn-based. But thankfully it is the best iteration of proper turn-based combat in Atelier games, along with a really robust crafting system that improved upon the previous iterations within the Mysterious' sub-series.

If you plan to play this on the deck, you might want to reconsider it, the game seems to have a nasty habit of permafreezing on loading screens, potentially causing you to lose progress, about 50/50 chance usually, with some areas its even more likely Anyway, with that out of the way, it's a pretty good game, though the ingame info could use some polish, as it has a tendency to send you to the wrong places for certain materials, like saying a certain boss drops silver crystals, when it doesn't. Still, i mostly enjoyed my time with this game

There are so many good things that I wanted to say about this game, which make this game the top Atelier game for me, right behind Mana Khemia and Ar Tonelico. The QOL in Ryza 1 are improved a lot in this game: - List of available (obtained/not obtained) drops on every gathering spot are shown on every map AND on every gathering spot. It's not something necessary since there's no time limit in this game so we don't need to be selective when choosing gathering spot. But a very good QOL nonetheless. Very useful when doing requests or hunting specific mats/monsters. - They also brought back the small chibi head icon showing up on maps whenever a new event available. Kinda disappointed they removed this from Ryza 1. - Fast-forward button in events are very useful to reduce the time following the story. - Auto-save feature is available an an Atelier game (finally!). This game crashed several times on SteamDeck and it only ran smooth with low graphic setting, so auto-save is an auto-win solution. Huge graphic improvement especially on characters models compared to Ryza 1. I especially don't like the shading on the Ryza 1's 3d character model faces. They looked jarring for some reason. I'm so glad they don't use the same style for this game. Gameplay-wise, there are many things they brought back from previous Mysterious games and Ryza 1: - Night time doesn't make monsters aggresive (stronger), just like in Ryza. There are traits that can make characters stronger depending on the time of day, but there's no way I use those situational traits on top of Dragon God's Blessing traits lol - The changing weather mechanic make the maps feel so dynamic (different enemies/boss/gather materials/terrains on each weather). - Camping feature from Firis is available here, though it's kinda useless because the game is not open world and we can instantly go back to the Atelier. Using camp is consuming item as well so it's another L. - Love that it retains the usual synthesis mechanic from mysterious series. it was fun because it performs like tetris and easier to get items with high quality. They went back to the usual full turn-based battle mechanic instead of semi-action like Ryza 1. To be honest I like Ryza's battle system a lot, but there are few things that Sophie 2 kind of different compared to other Mystrious titles: - Battle speed x2.0 is available here. I love seeing this feature on my turn-based games. - Twin actions make the battles in early game piss easy. you can just spam it and the enemies die in 5 seconds. Ultimates are called Dual Trigger and are activated with two characters instead of one. - By pressing R1/RB we can see which character the enemy will attack in their next turn by pressing, making the battles easier because you can make the characters guard beforehand. But you'll end up not using it 99% of the time. Sophie 2 OSTs for me are more memorabble here compared to other Atelier games. There are few that caught my attention when exploring. Most of the time though Atelier OST are usually forgettable. Story and character development/interactions are what made Sophie 2 shine the most among other Atelier games. I love the premise. There are depressing moments especially at the beginning. The interactions between not only the playable characters, but NPC are done so well. It has higher standard for a Atelier game for me than what I've experienced before. So I'm glad I've experienced it until the end. The only con that I could give to this game is that container is way too small. There's no way to extend container like in Lydie&Suelle so near the endgame you'll spend some time removing unwanted materials every time you go back to the atelier. This is kind of annoying because every map gives a lot, I mean A LOT of loots to pick up. If you're a hoarder in an RPG like me, you'll end up meeting this obstruction point sooner or later. --- Hours later into working, and I'm still thinking about the ending. It's similar to the ending of TLoH: Trails in the Sky 3rd. But this time I cried like a baby. It was sadder than I expected. I didn't believe it when that happened. I cried because of an Atelier game. The last time I cried because of a game is at the ending of Tales of the Abyss. I love Sophie so much as an MC. For me, both her looks and personality are league better compared to other Atelier MCs. I'm sad that her journey has finished long before I played this game, but I had to force myself to uninstall the game today so that I can peacefully move on to the next stories. 8/10

It's an amazing game! It was such an emotional yet joyful experience with Sophie on this Journey. The turn-based game-play and alchemy system were fun. And Sophie is just as cute as she was before! Always cherish your dreams...
