It's the Maiden of Black Water entry, and they went overboard with the characters clothing. So much so that even in Japan it was criticized for it. You know... Japan? The country were no one gives a crap about the "male gaze" and all that feminist crap about how games "belittle and degrade women by turning them into sex objects"?
I've been meaning to play that one ever since it came out on PC. Are the outfits really THAT skimpy and scandalous? And are we talking about default outfits or unlockables?
I see and Thank You so very much~! Well, at least that explains why Koei Techmo didn't do the same with this game as far as "fan service" goes. IMHO, it takes more than a just short skirt for an outfit to be considered as sexy. It's what's done with it that counts. 😎👍
I think the Atelier series should try a real-time combat system next time, like Genshin or Wuthering Waves. This time, the semi-real-time combat mode isn't as fun as Ryza, and the dodging mechanics are quite awkward. I'm really a bit disappointed. Looking back, Sophie 2 was so warm, interesting, and fun. I hope this series can at least attempt a Genshin-style combat system one last time before it shuts down. Also, please give me back the Cauldron!
IMO, this is fine as it is. You got tales series for that kind of mechanic anyways. The game ui and vibes feels closer to blue reflection.
Though I do agree the battle mechanic feels awkward when you need to move closer or further way just to utilize your skills because skill regen is slow. Idk if regen is slow cuz Im on the early parts of the game or itll improve over with skill branches. And also the fact they broken up support items and battle items with seperate buttons.
The main hurdle for me was the poor optimization of the prepatch game. Can't even get up to 40 fps at low quality. Now managed to get steady 60 with decent quality settings
IMHO, this lushly, highly detailed game would be more fun if KOEI TECMO had added some fan service, especially given the main female character's skin tight, short skirt and the many opportunities available for its application as seen in the action packed, promo videos in this game's Steam page (See here)~! AFAIK, so far, there's hasn't been a single "Upskirt peek" to be seen in any of the action packed in-game or cut-scene sequences (Maybe the devs felt that having fan service in the game would be too distracting for the players).
Perhaps someone will create a mod to remedy this situation later on ... 😉 😀
You must not know much about Gust because they're pretty big on fan service not so much upskirts and stuff but the whole premise of atelier is cute girls doing cute things so putting fan service in this game wouldn't "ruin shit" as you put it
Thank You so very much for the backup, Trevor Stampfly~! 😎👍
I believe that this game's Steam Discussions page (See here) has the various Steam users' testimonies which prove that the dev studio, Gust, has been historically well known for including fan service in its games; much to their customer base's delight (Providing a link with proof of what you're saying always helps to reinforce any statements made within a comment)! There are many comments like Steam user "Walrus Beard"'s, post #11 (see here) which echo the shared sentiment of those fans! 😉
Yeah I'm sick of these tourist thinking their opinions matter more than the dedicated fanbases. Also forgot to mention that the devs fully model in detail under the girls skirts (which you can see in most games with camera tweak mods) so they're obviously fans of that kind of fan service as well. Just another reason to love Gust in my opinion
While some would consider the addition of a little fan service [not full on nudity] as a corruption of a game, others may see it more as an enhancement or illusion of reality. For example, in one of the promo videos posted in this game's Steam page, the main character leaps off a cliff, yet during the mid-air sequence, her skirt remains completely lowered beneath her panties whereas IRL, it would have been at least somewhat raised up by the air currents, exposing a part of her panties and a few goodies! IMHO, the scene would be more realistic in that way.
Anyway, no one wrote that the base game should be altered as such. I understand that some people would prefer this game remain intact "as is" for "family friendly" entertainment purposes. I was only suggesting that perhaps someone would possibly create an in-game (Not cut-scene) fan service mod for this later on which of course, would be an optional add-on for those people who desire it! No one is attempting to ruin "shιt" for anyone else! 😐
BTW - If you're such a "pure" person at heart for upholding "family values" then why were you the first one to start swearing in a conversation? I'm no angel but neither are you! Perhaps you need to re-evaluate yourself! You may find that you're not so "High and mighty" as you believe yourself to be.
too long, didnt read what are you yapping about, nobody even bringed the pure heart stuff lmao
play a few of the games of the saga, maybe then you will catch that the point wasnt never having a (Completely underage girl for non-asian standards) girl shoving her body, but to have a lighthearted adventure.
It's strange how you claim not to have read what I wrote especially since the part about you supposedly being "pure of heart" in your own mind, only comes in my last paragraph. If you prefer only to read another person's ending words while skipping the rest of what he/she has written beforehand then you will misinterpret the point of what the other person was trying to convey to you!
Since you're too lazy to read what came before my last paragraph, I'll try to condense it for you - My point was that there should be optional add-ons like an in-game fan service mod made available for those who desire it while not affecting others who wish to play the game in its original form. No one is threatening your right to do the latter.
Nobody wrote that any underage girl, by Asian or others' standards, should be "shoving her body" in place of having this game being a "lighthearted adventure". That is all only in your own twisted little, closed mind's misinterpretations of another person's writings. Again, read my entire comment instead of only skimming to the parts that "Catch your eye"!
"now, the only real high and mighty party. touch some grass."
If your idea of partying is to get real high on some grass/weed/dope/ganga/cannabis [marijuana] then that's your choice whether you want to smoke your brains out with THC as you drain your wallet [and mind] empty, foolishly chasing that "Ultimate high". Nobody's stopping you. Personally, I choose to get high on life instead~! I did enjoy lmao while watching the Cheech & Chong stoner parody movies from the '80s! 😀
And you're being hypocrite here. I actually hate pedophilia in games like in some modern gacha games.
But, yumia is 21.
She's the oldest girl(as MC) in the whole series. Atelier Ryza has many fan services, atelier games are for fan services. I don't like a game that only shows ass and tiddies but little bit fan service is okay.
People will make mods even you don't like it. So, don't even bother commenting.
Thank You so very much for the backup, Dr_Alex_Prime~! 😎👍
I believe that this is the article from which you referenced Yumia's age as revealed by the dev studio, Gust (Providing a link to your sources always reinforces any statements made within a comment).
It's okay to let a person like "Weebhardt Valkyr" voice his/her opinion. In this case, it served to expose his/her own prudishness as well as his/her predilection for smoking marijuana which tends to blur its smokers' vision (See here)! Perhaps that's why he/she couldn't clearly see that the character Yumia is a grown woman and not an underage child (17 or younger, teenager)! Perhaps he/she needs to put down his/her bong and try to focus his/her eyes as best as he/she can before making any rash judgements! 😀
FYI, I have and am still considering doing so as well as participating in a few REIT investment opportunities, even in these financially troubled times. However, like the old saying goes, "All work and no play makes for a very dull person"!
It's too bad that too many people define themselves by their work [employment] alone. Such individuals have a hard time coping with their situation and redefining themselves should their own means of employment be suddenly taken away from them. "Chillax" man! 😐 😉
The graphics are too blurry, and my old monitor can't be set to 3840 x 2160 like the Atelier Ryza. , after playing for ten minutes, I got a headache that made me immediately hit ALT+F4. I've played Wuthering Waves for three weeks and didn't have this kind of discomfort :( Sophie 2 and Ryza 2 are both much more fun than this
awww man this sucks . some games has that with the way their camera movement works i had this issue with outer worlds . wanted to play this game so bad but an hour of playing would leave me with very bad eye strain and headache :/
I wonder if anyone play this on linux, I tried to run it with Lutris, most game work with it so I wonder why it didn't run at all... I currently using Bazzite if you ask..
sorry if my question seems strange I don't really know anything about it but should those who have already taken the version with several parts take the version with only one part? Is there an advantage with this or someone who has already downloaded several parts can do without it? I really liked when there were several files
I think it's time to change bro. Years ago, we uploaded 500mb/part. After changing to 5GB/part, a lot of people complained, they said 500mb/part was the best. But now i believe people will complain a lot if we upload 500mb/part. Current AAA games are all around 150GB or more. If anyone has a slow internet speed, then i'm sure they won't bother downloading 150GB from hosts. But for anyone with a fast internet speed, then they will feel tired downloading more than 30 parts (5GB)....
I don't use torrents because in my country, the isp watches and vpn's cost money. It's technically not illegal to download the cracked game but it IS illegal to share it, and when you torrent, you immediately begin sharing the parts you have downloaded and they will use that to shut off your internet permanently.
I don't see anyone with less than 50Mb/s internet connection downloading big games...that's like downloading PS2 games with dial up connection, a waste of time.
I am one of those who still find use for downloading in parts, the maximum connection in my country is 1 Mb/s with peaks of 4 Mb/s on special occasions. Downloading such large files in one go is a real torture, more than downloading the current titans of the industry.
That's awesome! Now you only need to download once to complete the download, without having to split it into several parts. For those who are worried about disconnection issues, I recommend using IDM for downloading, as it can resume interrupted downloads, which is very practical
megaup.net is working fine. didn test any others, my adblocking software is turned off. but, i use a vpn 90% of the time. point being, dont run adblockers on megaup as itll block the download sometimes depending on whatever adblock you use...
typical koei tecmo shit
but I dont understand why people are complaining about skimpy outfits?
What other kind of outfits should there be?
😎👍

Leave them bro. They don't even worth your attention.
Yumia is not under-age, she's 21.
Little bit fan service doesn't harm.
If these guys are too pure then they should complain and report every female streamers. (because, almost all of them shows tiddies to gain attraction)
Have a great day!
I've played Wuthering Waves for three weeks and didn't have this kind of discomfort
:(
Sophie 2 and Ryza 2 are both much more fun than this

I currently using Bazzite if you ask..
it's hard to download without corrupt and can't resume
is there only the patch for new update?
I used to download torrent a lot back when you still use parts upload.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSl6_15Gf04
But it seems I can't load the save game. The game says DLC is not installed.

Then paste (override) it to your game's dir. Let me know if it work
