In a move that will hardly seem surprising considering its ascension to the status of best-selling Atelier game, Atelier Ryza may be getting a sequel as a second game entitled “Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy” was recently rated in Australia.
Not a whole lot of information can be gleaned from the Australian classification, other than its PG rating and “mild impact” themes and violence – Gust was also written to be the developer and Koei Tecmo as publisher.
This sequel was perhaps premeditated as noted in an interview where Producer Junzo Hosoi uttered that Ryza would appear in a future Atelier game.
Taking into account the obsession with the heroine’s supple thighs, the power of sex appeal surely had a hand in securing the RPG’s popularity, and a sequel was inevitable in the eyes of many.
The original Atelier Ryza can be purchased for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 now.
Lost Thighs & the Secret Cleavage. Fix that for you.
Round 2 of best Thighs and best girl Reisalin Stout 😀
Can’t wait to get this
f♥♥k yeah
Didn’t care about Ateliers before. The art style just wasn’t my cup of tea. However Ryza definitely appeals to me more, the attractive character is just the icing on top. Good for the series to be getting some widespread attention finally. Always found it odd how so many games released but yet nobody talked about them other than a small fanbase. Similar to Nier, which was irrelevant to most people until 2B came along with her voluptuously appealing booty, people suddenly payed more attention. Sex sells, always will… contrary to what SJWs want you to believe.
Specially now that western companies try to sell us ugly as s♥♥t dyke characters. Only in Japanese developers can one find solace in this garbage industry.
Look I like Atelier Ryza as much as anyone here but if you’d put all the Atelier sales of the last ten years they would not surpass the amount of sales that The Last of Us 2 had in three days (4m copies). I’m using that as an example because you brought up “ugly as s♥♥t dyke characters”.
Sex does sell but only up to a point. If sex was the end all be all the best selling games each year would be s♥♥t like Senran Kagura, Dead or Alive and Atelier Ryza but instead Call of Duty, Assassins Creed and The Last of Us will Top the charts this year.
Sex sells in that it has a high floor but a low ceiling, if that makes any sense. Sex can help you turn a profit but it will more often than not impede you from going mainstream. This is why the most popular anime in the world are the ones that include the least tits out there (Dragon Ball, Naruto, Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist) and why crap like Seikon Qwaser, Highschool DxD or Ikkitousen will never be more than a niche, but profitable, endeavor.
Isn’t that more to do with marketing? If Atelier were advertised and given 10/10 by every mainstream shill journalist, I bet it would have sold even better. Wasn’t this latest Atelier actually attacked by some outlets? With that said, given the production cost, Did TLoU2 actually turn a bigger profit?
The problem we have in the west is corruption in game journalism. Most normal people don’t research games before they by them. They rely on dishonest news outlets and advertisements to inform them of what to buy. Anyone surfing Sankaku Complex probably falls outside of the “normal” audience.
Yes man, even taking into account the gargantuan differences in budget from TLoU2 vs Atelier Ryza I assure you the former did already many times over the profit In its first three days than the latter did in its lifetime. 4 million copies X $60 = $240 million dollars in sales. Even if you remove the 20% that retailers keep its $192 million and that’s without counting the vast amount of digital sales where Sony gets to keep 100% of the $60. That’s a s♥♥t ton of money so yeah I guarantee you TLoU2 will make way more money despite costing more to develop.
They gave The Last of Us Remastered on PS4 for free on Playstation Plus late last year.
The Atelier series is published by the Koei Tecmo who are massive DLC whores who would never do such a smart thing like give away a game in a series to get interest there for any sequel.
That just proves there’s a lot of faggots in the west. I couldn’t care less how mainstream the games I like are. I actually would rather they weren’t mainstream at all in the west because then they would probably get corrupted and turned into s♥♥t propaganda filled garbage like 99% of this godforsaken industry.
Also, of course only good looking characters don’t sell games but ugly as sin tranny-like characters certainly destroy them, at least in my eyes. Again, there’s a lot of faggots in the west that dig that s♥♥t but I find it disgusting. Add to that the fact that the stories in these games are carcinogenic garbage written by SJW nutjobs and you got a recipe for garbage games that only indoctrinated idiots would buy if they knew what they were getting into.
Moreover TLOU2 sold as much as it did because TLOU was a really popular game and a sequel was obviously going to sell tons because people are stupid like that, consumers gotta consume you know?
The Last of Us Remastered on PS4 was given away for free on Playstation Plus late last year. So yeah millions of people would have played it for $0.
Koei Tecmo would never give away their Atelier games to get interest in a sequel. Nah. They’d rather put $100 worth of DLC and keep the prices artificially high for digital copies.
Look at comments from the lead dev of TLoU2 berating his fans for hating the game, then making bullshit excuses as to how “it was stressful” to come up with a sequel for TLoU. And on top of that fucking travesty, he praises the game for doing well, even though refunds were literally refuses in the thousands.
Japanese companies, targeting western market, ruin it all, just the same way. Proved by upper “cup of tea” comment. If western barbarians see it appealing, it fell off the original refined style to some level where those 2B-loving retards can comprehend.
The art style is great; but the gameplay is boring… I think. But yeah I rarely see game with fat girl as main character become popular…
She isn’t even fat, mad thicc. There’s a difference
Good more Ryza, this time give us lila and Claudia at the start of the game instead of the shota and other guy no one cares about.
The worst part about Ryza was you didn’t get all 3 waifus until way late into the game.
Ryza being in another Atelier game is no surprise because it has happened before and they’ve already said they’d do it. What I’m surprised is that they’re apparently making a direct numbered sequel where I assume the MC will still be Ryza. That hasn’t happened with the Atelier series since what? The PS2 days?
It never has happened in the main series. Only time the main character has been the main character again are a pair of spinoffs with Marie & Elie.
Money speaks for themselves
