To be honest? Them acknowledging Mana Khemia makes me want to buy this alone. Mana Khemia 1 was the very first RPG I played to completion, and its characters are ingrained in my heart for that reason.
I loved the Mana Khemia games. It's a shame they didn't carry on using that formula in future games. I really don't like the direction the games went in starting with Rorona.
@@shaneh87 Yeah, they kinda lost me when they started going to 3D models and abandoned sprites. Not that I don't understand that transition, but the atmosphere of each game changed with that as well starting with the PS3 generation. It went from an overall optimistic tone with some tragic undertones waiting to be discovered, to seemingly all happy all the time. I did enjoy Escha/Logy though, due to going for a combat system definitely inspired by Mana Khemia.
Gosh yeah I was so happy to see Vayne, and also a bit jealous that MK2 got 3 characters while MK just got Vayne (not counting Pamela cuz she's everywhere anyway), haha. Really loved MK.
I'm so happy you play the Atelier series!! Thank you for the review and detailed look at actual gameplay. You helped me make an informed purchase decision with no regrets! Nelke is a happy, rare mix of many things that I enjoy. 40 hours in and counting...
i personally got really hyped when they announced that nelke will have city building aspect to it even though i never play games like sim city or city skylines lately the mobage i play have city building (valkyrie crusade) or room designing (imas CG, princess connect, etc) and i always spend way more time fiddling around the city/room than playing the actual game the town building is simple and easy to understand despite the lengthy tutorial give to us (was sweating a little there, lol) but what sold me the most is the resource management and how it seems like we're just the NPC visiting the alchemists in their atelier once in a while to chat or give assignments back in the main games while they are still going around exploring by themselves when we're not watching it's a refreshing experience so i want to say my hype was paid in full, and with some extra
I cant believe that it has been 2 years ago since I first saw your video on drakengard and nier. The content has always been great Sophie, thank you so much
I "stumbled" on the video looking for reviews for Ateliers of the New World... and then I realized I've actually seen your Lore Summary of Drakengard and Nier. So, thanks for making this video! And I'm looking forward to more!
I look forward to hearing all your reviews even when they're often for titles like this where I never would've played on my own or even have heard of otherwise. Congrats on your 150k :)
The change in gameplay just reminds me of Recettear's business management and its a nice change of pace. Still seems fun and oozes the Atelier style so will probably get it eventually
I've never played any of the Atelier games, but I've watched your Atelier videos almost exclusively because of your love of them. How much you enjoy them really comes across through your excitement and knowledge. There are two things that may sway me into trying this one out: 1) City building and 2) The plethora of cute girls XD
I haven't played a ton of the games, but I love the series non-the-less, I had be actually been following this game but ended up forgetting the release date, lol. I'll certainly be picking it up when I get a chance. Just a fun fact, the first one I had played was Marie & Elie: Atelier Pair for the wonderswan. (Also how is the subscriber count not at like 500 thousand? You certainly deserve it)
Happy Birthday Sophie, Wish you all the best in your life. Keep up on creating fun yet absurd review that weirdly nice to watch. Hope your channel keep growing, 1 million subscriber seem so far away, but it's getting closer day by day. May year to come will be better than year to past. Congrats. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 🎂🎂🎂
great review!! i was one of the people curious about the switch up in gameplay / theme, but i'm still very intrigued in the game. i just wish the steam version had steam cloud enabled. ; 3 ; )
I personally have only played one atelier game, but I really enjoyed it so when I saw this title in store I bought it on the spot, despite not knowing it would be a city sim. Still, I have been enjoying this game very much even though I'm unfamiliar with most of the older characters
Just google which flower it’s a dianthus. Isn’t it also quite common in general for japanese media to use german words? I’m sure that Nier had also some german words. (But I may be wrong, I just occasionally google some words)
@@KuroiPK Fun fact: a dianthus/carnation has various meanings in flower language, depending on its color. The striped ribbons on Nelke's outfits remind me of a striped carnation, which is a symbol of rejecting love (as in, giving someone a striped carnation is a way to say "no thanks" to a date invitation). I haven't gotten to play the game yet, but I wonder if this symbolism plays into her character.
You really got me hooked on the Atelier series. I'm playing through Totori right now and excited for Lulua to come out. Thanks for introducing me to these games. Love your videos.
Its been 3-4 months since I played my first Atelier game, and since then I've gotten through 4 of the games and counting, I'm absolutely in love with the series and will consume more Atelier in a heartbeat. What I mean to say is, thank you Sophie, for showing me the true way
ty sophie for introducing this game sophie. this type of game is my drugs lol i remember spending 100 of hours in harvest moon.. now i will lose another 100 in Nelke
Kinda funny that the game that is primarily for fans of the series has my interest the most since it's primarily not a turn based rpg. Oh well, looks cute and fun. Will check it out when it hits sale or gog
Would you say this game gives a decent impression of the characters that show up? Like, if I were to play it without having played the other games in the series, would this give me a solid look into their personalities and who they are? I've been interested in the series thanks to your videos, and it being on the switch has made it fairly accessible to me, so I was curious.
Yes! I havent played most of the games in the series, but so far most of the characters have given an great impression of themselves. And the ones I already knew, were written spot on, or very similalry as I remember them. Some stuff will fly over your head, if you haven't played the games but overall its a great way to choose which characters you might like.
I was just looking for a good review of this game when this came up in subs. :3 Thank you. Also I am biased, I really like Sophie and wanted to see more of her.
I LOVE THIS REVIEW. For the simple face that you took the game the same way as I did, It's not a main atelier game, its a spinoff to let you see and play with all your favorite characters. I kept hearing about how its worse than the main games and plays nothing like them, NO DUH. Idk I guess I just realized early before release what it was going to be, so it met and beat my expectations and I love it. But I'm terrible at it!
I picked up a copy today and played a couple of hours and in terms of first impressions I'm loving, can't wait to meet up Firis, Totori and Cordelia. As a side note I'll be ecstatic if Tess, Elise, Melvia and Drossel all show up.
I just recently picked up Atelier Sophie after enough thinking and with help from your vids! I really liked the art style of the Mysterious series so I wanted to start there. I'm really loving it so far! I'm addicted to mixing things. I don't think this game in the video is quite for me.... Yet. I would like it to be because it looks like fun too! But I'd want to play the games and know the characters more. Probably gonna go for the Dusk series next~
Never played a atelier game before, but might pick this up. I have always been interested in the games so getting to meet characters from all the games feels like it could be a nice way to decide what games to start with.
I havent finished any of new atelier games, last one in the series I finished was Atelier Annie or Mana Khemia. I love this spin-off so much! Nostalgia of characters and city management, which I love. Honestly this is a perfect atelier game for me.
I was scared to try the atelier series. I thought they were too wholesome and tame for me. Then i tried atelier Sophie. Spend 8h min maxing a single piece of armor, went on to obliterate foes who gave me trouble before and got some serious Fullmetal Alchemist vibes. All in all a great time. If the city building aspects are as intricate as alchemy was, this will be a blast.
This game has Raze and Vayne in it. I had a bit of a fan moment myself when I saw Vayne in your video. I got into the series through Cross Edge, which lead me to MK 2 and then to the Ateliers series. I honestly think I might have to buy this for the switch when I get it. Seems like a fun game to play on the road.
Actually, Koei is the publisher, but not the developer. Pretty much all Atelier games are done by GUST. Koei Tecmo just acquired them a few years ago. Think Bungie (of Halo fame) when it was acquired by Microsoft.
I like playing it on the Switch, but I can't imagine putting it on a big screen. It's got that "I could put this down anytime, but I just wanna do...one more...turn..." appeal on handheld for sure.
I wish I would have bought it for the switch (I bought is on PS4). It's still good, but mobile would be better. As for why PS4... well I have had some nasty glitches with Gust and I felt that a new console that they don't know that much would have more of them.
after looking at your videos to see if this is a series I should try and get into, and seeing this review in particular makes me wish that there was an atelier game that played more like one of my favourite games of all time. Rune factory 4. The idea of a game about alchemy and going out to get materials for it and having an emphasis on characters over grand story. On paper sounds like they would play like Rune factory. Oh well, when RF4 comes out on the switch I can hang out with my BFF Dragon and go hunting for the perfect materials for my alchemical and smithing needs while tending to my farm.
As a fan back when the Atelier series started. This game such a memory rush back when i first started playing the series. Definately a fan game that i personally couldn't recommend my friends if they never played an Atelier game before.
ahhhh that being said i do feel like the more latest Atelier games got more love than the older ones, but that could be me just focusing more on those characters.
Never played an Ateliet game before, picked this up mostly because of the appeal of a city simulator with a great art style. Safe to say, I'll be picking up some other Atelier titles in the future because of how much I've enjoyed playing this
Nelke = Carnation btw (12:26) Neu Boden District = New Ground District (thats just being lazy lol)also what is up with the ingredients randomly using the german name while others are in eng? (6:34 Zettel=note, 4:20 Eiche=oak)
Atelier has been one of those series I've been wanting to check out but just never seem to know when to jump in. It's probably best to start with a mainline title, but this does look like a cute game too!
I bought Nelke thinking it was a "main-line game" lol. I knew it had city builder elements but I thought it would play a bit more like previous titles. Though I haven't put many hours into it I'm still glad I own it. On the upside Ryza looks good and it's coming out in a week or so.
Mana Khemia is a lot different to all the games that came after it. They might be worth trying out but honestly Mana Khemia is in a league of its own in terms of how good it was.
Wow, they butchered Totori and Meruru's model. Still, I'm glad that we get to see almost all characters/NPCs in previous Atelier games. I'm a huge Atelier fan and have played literally every version of Atelier games since Rorona (Original, Plus and Deluxe), and am looking forward to Nelke despite knowing its deviation from Atelier's standard synthesis-exploration cycle. But after watching your review, I think I'll wait for awhile before getting it, because I'm not all into the city building aspect of the game (at least from what I've seen). Plus my brain has been stuffed with too much Atelier games lately, having just finished Rorona DX last December, Totori DX recently, and maybe Meruru DX somewhere next month. I will still most likely get the game together with Atelier Lulua this coming May (
...And they said the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the most ambitious crossover ever. Anywho, nice review!^.^ Looks like a game I might need to check out!
Hmm...Though I usually avoid the 'time limit' Atelier games, I might pick this up because I enjoy city simulators. Plus getting to see some of my favorite characters from across the franchise is a nice plus. A question though. It was mentioned that you can send a party off to gather at places you have already been. Would you be able to send them off and go do other tasks while their doing that? Or even send them off to gather at a previous location while your leading a second party to an unexplored locale?
Ive only ever played Sophie so far, but got put off by the others with the time limit and tough grindy trophies. I wonder how the trophy list for this game will be, if it's reasonable I might give it a go, esp. since it's an independent title
Hey Sophie! You've done a list of your favorite Atelier games, would you think a list of your favorite characters from the Atelier series would be a good video? Also I think a better analogy would be "going to see a band you know and love, but they're going to play a different genre of music."
Been loving this game... I'm addicted and trapped in a "just one more turn..." mentality. I'm also ODC about filling a district completely before moving on to the next. also it's the first Atelier game i've picked up, not a fan of the series, but I'm in that niche group would would pick it up because it's an atelier game, now I wanna go back an play the other games :D
I fell in love with this series, and I will forever have you to blame. I can't wait to play every title in the series!! But I'm not thrilled about all the $$$$$$ I know I will drop on Atelier gamea...
Your videos about Nier:Automata made me so curious that finally i bought it And wow i love this game so much Thank you really!!! I mean it's one of the best and emotional game i ever played ❤
Congrats with 150k subs, you deserve it
nuh uh
I decided to give this series a try because of you and I LOVE IT! Thank you!

Same.. I still have the games though lol
I saw Vayne and instantly went on a 'WHERE IS MY MANA KHEMIA PC PORT!?' self rant. I have my original ps2 copy but would LOVE a pc port.
Gosh yeah I was so happy to see Vayne, and also a bit jealous that MK2 got 3 characters while MK just got Vayne (not counting Pamela cuz she's everywhere anyway), haha. Really loved MK.
The excitement is shown when you speak of Atelier games and its so exciting to watch ^^ your content is exciting overall :) You Rock!
I don't even play the atelier series wonder why I am here.
Maybe for that asmr quality voice.
Congrats for 150K.
same
Same same, I watch all these video... never played the games aside from the DS game but I want to start.
Good review and ASMR voice, what's there to not like?
me too, but i like city builders, maybe yt algoritm get that and recommend xD should i try this game?
I'm so happy you play the Atelier series!! Thank you for the review and detailed look at actual gameplay. You helped me make an informed purchase decision with no regrets! Nelke is a happy, rare mix of many things that I enjoy. 40 hours in and counting...
i personally got really hyped when they announced that nelke will have city building aspect to it even though i never play games like sim city or city skylines
lately the mobage i play have city building (valkyrie crusade) or room designing (imas CG, princess connect, etc) and i always spend way more time fiddling around the city/room than playing the actual game
the town building is simple and easy to understand despite the lengthy tutorial give to us (was sweating a little there, lol)
but what sold me the most is the resource management and how it seems like we're just the NPC visiting the alchemists in their atelier once in a while to chat or give assignments back in the main games while they are still going around exploring by themselves when we're not watching
it's a refreshing experience
so i want to say
my hype was paid in full, and with some extra
Thanks on spending the time to focus on this modest series when everyone else is talking about Sekiro and DMC 5 (both good games!). Love this channel.

Nelke actually is a German wird for a flower and you’re pronouncing it quite good :D
Doesn't Atelier borrow quite a few German words? :)
Just google which flower it’s a dianthus.
Isn’t it also quite common in general for japanese media to use german words? I’m sure that Nier had also some german words. (But I may be wrong, I just occasionally google some words)
@@KuroiPK Panzer Kunst - Alita: Battle Angel.
It's "Nelleke" in Holland and "Nele" here in Flanders. I think we had three Nele's back in kindergarten.
@@KuroiPK Fun fact: a dianthus/carnation has various meanings in flower language, depending on its color. The striped ribbons on Nelke's outfits remind me of a striped carnation, which is a symbol of rejecting love (as in, giving someone a striped carnation is a way to say "no thanks" to a date invitation).

There's at least one other out there, yeah...?

Always a joy to hear your voice.
Also the game looks cute, something to look forward to, it seems.
Good god that intro is majestic
So like Meruru, Rorona with the time period jobs, with a more extreme version of Ni no kuni 2 with the work placement.
I like your dedication to niche jrpgs
Great video as always I love your channel 👍💗
And now the day is better and brighter!
I was scared to try the atelier series.

Good review! I'm looking forward to my limited edition to come in the mail.
Knowing this is a Koei Tecmo game, I can't help but think of this game as "Atelier Empires," since they're the publishers of the Warriors franchise.
Actually, Koei is the publisher, but not the developer. Pretty much all Atelier games are done by GUST. Koei Tecmo just acquired them a few years ago. Think Bungie (of Halo fame) when it was acquired by Microsoft.
Been waiting to see what you thought
I’ve always meant to get into one of these games. I love the designs of them and this looks like a great love letter to fans.
My wife loves city sims and we've both played at least 1 or 2 atelier games, so I'm definitely gifting this to her.
omg i've missed this intro :D
I like playing it on the Switch, but I can't imagine putting it on a big screen. It's got that "I could put this down anytime, but I just wanna do...one more...turn..." appeal on handheld for sure.

You got recognized by the publisher already. Nice.
Oh god, it's like a review, tutorial and ad at the same time.
Holly.
...And they said the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the most ambitious crossover ever.
Anywho, nice review!^.^ Looks like a game I might need to check out!
Not sure if this was asked before but are the intro and outro of your videos soundtracks or originals? They are so beautiful ^__^
3:33 VAYNE?! IS THAT MY BOY VAYNE?!!! YOOOOOOO! What is he doing here?! Does Alchemist of Al-Revis exist in the same world as this one?!
Nope. Apparently he and the other Atelier characters got teletransported to Nelke's world for some Deus Ex Machina reason.
Man... I'm in cloud 9 now. I love the Atelier games AND city sims! Now I can have my cake and eat it too!
Mana Khemia kind of look battle system
Hmm...Though I usually avoid the 'time limit' Atelier games, I might pick this up because I enjoy city simulators. Plus getting to see some of my favorite characters from across the franchise is a nice plus.
A question though. It was mentioned that you can send a party off to gather at places you have already been. Would you be able to send them off and go do other tasks while their doing that? Or even send them off to gather at a previous location while your leading a second party to an unexplored locale?
*_What's the intro. tune?_*
Ive only ever played Sophie so far, but got put off by the others with the time limit and tough grindy trophies. I wonder how the trophy list for this game will be, if it's reasonable I might give it a go, esp. since it's an independent title
Here because of the Epic Indeimaus impression. xD thanks for that.
The way you say Nelke calms my mind somehow
Congrats on 150k subs btw
Hey Sophie!
You've done a list of your favorite Atelier games, would you think a list of your favorite characters from the Atelier series would be a good video?
Also I think a better analogy would be "going to see a band you know and love, but they're going to play a different genre of music."
Hey! This was a really informative video, thanks a tonne for making it!
I want to play this game if only for the outfit designs lol, this all looks so pretty
Can you still get the dlc Town Building 5-Item Set?
I still have not started this series but I want to. I kind of think think I should start with Sophie
Hi it reminds me of the kingdom builder in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Been loving this game... I'm addicted and trapped in a "just one more turn..." mentality. I'm also ODC about filling a district completely before moving on to the next.
also it's the first Atelier game i've picked up, not a fan of the series, but I'm in that niche group would would pick it up because it's an atelier game, now I wanna go back an play the other games :D
I hate my mind, the only thing I could think of when she said city simulator with all the atelier characters in the game is to open a big tampon shop
I was waiting the little toy sound of the Valkyrie ventures in the intro. Totally forget of the original intro.
I fell in love with this series, and I will forever have you to blame. I can't wait to play every title in the series!! But I'm not thrilled about all the $$$$$$ I know I will drop on Atelier gamea...
This game sounds like the most technical game with how much is necessary to manage and balance out which kinda intimidates me
Your videos about Nier:Automata made me so curious that finally i bought it
And wow i love this game so much
Thank you really!!! I mean it's one of the best and emotional game i ever played ❤
