Hey folks, its been a minute! Thanks so much for your patience, I needed a bit of a break but I'm gonna try and get myself back into making monthly content for you all. I really hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope to see you over on my streaming channel or see you in the comments of my stream archive channel! (Also, go check out 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim if you haven't already. Just trust me on that!)
I used to make "potions" when I was younger too. That stopped one day when I had my little brother sit in front of the microwave to keep on eye on things as I got more "ingredients" from outside. The inside of the microwave was absolutely covered with mud and crunched up leaves and my mom was pissed. Still haven't died yet, so clearly I was onto something with that immortality potion.
@@Evanz111 my brother and I never made potions but we used to drown cotton balls in rubbing alcohol, light them on fire and grab them and quickly shoot them at each other yelling hadouken. I'm surprised we didn't burn our apartment building to the ground.
@@matrinezkevin11492 reminds me of when my friends and I soaked some nerf swords in alcohol and lit them on fire. Turns out chunks of the sword just turn to napalm and scatter everywhere
Your intro unlocked some memories I had long stored away. I used to do something very similar but I would mush up plants together and other similar things with rocks on my metal slide.
It’s the last place I expect to see people who had also seen it. I’m so used to seeing American tv shows get referenced on RUclips that I never once saw as a freeview user as a kid.
Thank you for alerting me to 13 sentinels! I had no vanillaware had released a game last year that looks so up my alley. I'm still in the prologue but damn am I already glad I didn't miss out on it!
Hope you're doing well, internet man. I recently picked up Ryza on your recommendation and It's exactly my kind of game- glad to see the second one isn't too much of a departure.
I’ve bought it from passionate players of Danganronpa and some other VN games, but I’m so scared to start playing it because of how much praise people seem to give it…
the only reason i haven't play it even do i want to is that my ps4 took a dump on me in April 2019, the motherboard on it stopped working. but if it ever comes to pc or i get a ps5(which at this point is begging for pigs to fly) i will definitely play that gorgeous looking game.
@@Evanz111 it's kinda weird to be afraid to play something just because people said it's good... like people are literally ways going to say good things are good. As a general rule, you should never let anyone's words about a game decide for you. Play a game and you'll know pretty quickly rather you like it or not.
Finally a video under which I can comment "My name is Cuban Pete and I'm the king of the rumba beat" without being off topic, 10/10 I love Clemps and his channel
Atelier making this the first duology/probable trilogy in over a decade gives Ryza a way higher chance of getting into Smash than I ever would have seriously considered up until this exact moment.
@@Evanz111 No they haven't. Both games were published by Koei Tecmo and they own both Gust and Omega Force as well as the rights to all characters and franchises. So there was no licensing going on there.
I really feel like your review helped sales of the first game quite a bit. I know that I bought the game because of your review and enjoyed it quite a bit, really reminded me of the JRPGs that I grew up with.
Yo, I love Ryza 1 & 2, hope Clemps does too... Edit: He does! Note on the difficulty: this game is *easy* even on hard if you put any effort at all into the alchemy, which is kinda the point. If you play the PC version though, you can grab a file to unlock the beat-the-game-once-first higher difficulties from the start. Very Hard is a good 'medium' where things will be easily handle-able if you make good alchemy stuff, but you do need to actually engage with the system, unlike on Hard. The level above that, for some reason called 'Charismatic' is actually quite hard, and requires tip top alchemy and execution, but is still not so bad that you can't blind-beat the game with it on your first run. The last, Legendary, really is actually NG+ or cheese strats only. The unlock file in question is easily findable, including having a link on the unofficial Atelier discord channel, that I also recommend.
I found it easy but tedious. Enemies don't do much damage and using healing items doesn't use much resources... yet battles take a while as you can't just use powerful items (or very powerful, cheap to replicate bombs) out of the gate, emphasizing on using skills. I ended up turning the difficulty to easy to make battles faster.
@@Jigkuro When I say "cheap to replicate" I was not talking about Ryza, I was talking of any other Atelier. While it's true that you can end battles early with a powerful item, you still need to charge some to being able to use it. But in say, the mysterious trilogy (Sophie, explorer twins) you could just turn one nuke, no need to charge anything. Sure, it's a trade off. You finish early, but you waste a good item (hence you wanted powerful but cheap to replicate stuff, in Ryza there's no such conondrum).
@@icarue993 you either didn't get far or didn't try that hard at optimizing alchemy. You can make Ryza start with 5 CC, and a few bombs easily strong enough to blow away fights instantly (on hard) for less CC than that...
@@Jigkuro I did like 4 dungeons already. I kinda stopped in the fire/lava forge one. Max I could get was like 3 cc starting. Yes, it's enough for some, but not a lot... Also, I have completed the alchemy tech tree (so far), my items are not optimized that much, but my equipment is very much so (again, prioritize skills over items)
Loved the editing and writing of this one!! I'm not even really that much into these type of games, but your style of videos just sells me on every game you cover
I always love that you include Legend of Legaia music in your videos. I've never really played the Atelier series of games but might try these two out :) Also I would love to see a video like this on 13 Sentinels because it's amazing.
Loved this game, such a charming experience and my god I love this channel, every video is a masterpiece I just recently binged the whole channel, again lol and I can always count on Clemps to deliver good time, thank you so much Clemps Also, Bos needs to be playable in Ryza 3 or riot 😀 Dropping hints AND training with Lent
thanks for the great video as always, i just finished ryza 2 and it was nice seeing your perspective on all the highs and lows of the experience. while the story was lacking it was a lot of fun to follow the characters' development. got into the atelier series through you, so thanks for that. gonna check out some of the other games now.
Great vid, Clempsy. I've been avoiding some of your videos for spoilers ala 7 remake and Bravely Default, so I appreciate dis :3 Also, that Rei Ayanami joke is subtle and excellent.
Dropping in to say that just the other day I picked up the first Atelier Ryza for my Switch and while, to be honest, I don't actually remember if I watched your review of that game, I do remember that this video was pretty much the sole factor in my decision to give the franchise a try. I don't know when I'll actually get around to playing it, but thank you for introducing me to a new series nonetheless!
Personally I think for a final story for Ryza is she goes on an adventure into the Frontier to help build a new town that are buy some ruins. This way we can see some interesting new characters as well as the old and Ryza can use her Alchemy to make a new home for herself and we can see the culmination of the Ruins story arc and where the overall plot is going.
Clemps is one of the handful of youtubers that is an always watch for me, doesn't matter what it is. Him, Super Eyepatch Wolf, and Breadsword are the only three like that for me. Doesn't matter the topic, I'll love the video anyway.
Wow this never showed up in my sub box. Thankfully I was going through your older videos. Damn you youtube algorithm, almost made me miss a brilliant video.
Wow your videos and are incredible!! I don't usually watch longer reviews because it's hard to focus that long and it can be a huge time sink but damn your videos certainly keep my attention and leave me on the edge of my seat. Will you be doing a review on Ryza 3?
I used to make potions as a kid, too. It's an activity specifically born in the minds of early gaming savants. However, I wouldn't use a bathtub or a sink, but a pot I found in the rubble of a house that burned down and was never cleaned up or recovered across the creek my house was along. Which, at the time, I thought was very normal and not at all creepy. I don't know why, but it HAD to contain creek water and whatever berries I could find that day. I haven't thought about this at all until this video intro and I hope you appreciate that because I don't.
I had been trying for YEARS to figure out the name of the show I had watched dozens of times as a child JUNGLE RUN! That show was crack cocaine as a lil one
As much as I enjoy the newer Atelier titles I cannot help but miss the style of the Iris series. Something about it and Mana Khemia just really scratches that JRPG itch but different. Great Review!
Ohh I used to 'brew potions' as a kid too but I just mostly took a bunch of drinks and mixed them in a pot and boiled them. I think the overwhelming taste was warm coke and juice.
Finally beat this game today, was quite pleased to see your criticisms line up with my own. It's too bad the game's plot didn't feel so much like a proper journey as the first one's did. I can tell they were going for something more grand with uncovering these anicent ruins that were even older than the Klint Kingdom but it just felt a bit formulaic after a while. I missed the social drama of the small town and the twists and turns along the way. That said, all the other improvements still made this game a joy to play and I didn't regret it one bit. Fingers crossed Bos joins the party next time.
Ah, Dick and Dom in da Bungalow...Those were the days. EDIT: 19:06 AND JUNGLE RUN TOO! Damn, Clemps just giving all the nostalgia for my childhood. What next? Up On The Roof? Toonattik? Digimon? Pokemon? Power Rangers? The Simpsons? Noddy? Super Duper Sumos? Art Attack? Please continue to making me reminisce about my wasted youth.
I had a lot of fun in this game but i was always OP and by the end i had a Core Drive with two end game items that one shot the final boss as well as all enemies in the last two dungeons in the very first move of every battle. EDIT: Oh yes, the map design was so much better than in the first game, you could really feel it too since those old areas were accessible.
I'm not even interested in playing any of the atelier games, but the passion and dedication with which you do these videos makes even one about a series I don't enjoy a pretty cool experience
Woah!! Not only was I not expecting an upload from you, but I wasn’t expecting it on this game at all! I’m sorry I haven’t seen the entire thing yet, but do you have any plans to cover Bravely Default 2? Your coverage on the first was incredible!
Gonna keep trying to surprise ya. :D As for Bravely 2, I'd like to cover Second before it. But after the first games coverage, I'd like to make some "smaller" videos and tackle some other ideas I have first!
@@Clemps Thanks for the reply Clemps! Bravely Second would definitely better be a better follow-on after your in-depth on the first game, so that’s the right decision! Meanwhile I’ll enjoy the surprise uploads from you
They will pin you to the cross like Jesus of bloody Nazareth! I freaking died and listen to it three times before making it through the video! So good.
I actually really liked the storyline of the first game. There was good world building, lore, the main cast was very likeable and all had aspirations of their own, and it created a line of progression that was far more sensible than what we see in most other role playing games. I'm waiting for the second one to go on sale before I buy it.
Main issue I had with the combat is that party members feel really superfluous. Like you never really need to use em outside of generating AP so whoever you are controlling can trigger their action commands and build the tactics meter. You don't want them using the AP because they generally spam so hard you will never get a skill off to activate action commands and you won't generate CC to use items. Not helped that most of the parties skills are pretty similar so swapping doesn't really feel necessary and you don't really need more the 2 or 3 items to break combat in general so you don't need to worry about personalizing their item loadout. So at most for me they were back ups in case Ryza got dropped and had to revive her which never happened. Not sure how to really fix that outside of specializing everyone for specific combat scenarios but most enemies don't really have the skillset/resists to warranting changing party lineups.
07:08 BOY! that caught me off guard, here, have a like. 12:57 This needs to be a gif. 26:51 "me problem"? bro, everybody hates those types of voices, specially from mascots of any kind.
I would say it's time for me to get the first Ryza game, but if Gust is smart they'll wait a little while and then release a double pack of both games 👀 Or at least I HOPE they will!
@@Evanz111 I can understand how anyone can make a TON of assumptions about the game. The gameplay is really great, but the characters don't start off with good impressions. Usually, amnesia + 2/3 annoying main characters = bad story
@@AntiNihilist That’s fair enough, yeah! It’s the gameplay loop I love. It commemorates Pokemon just as well as Final Fantasy Explorers commemorates Monster Hunter. It’s a fantastic tribute!
Jungle Run looks neat. We had Legends of the Hidden Temple growing up in America. (in fact odds are good we might have stolen it from there like a lot of stuff 😅)
Hey folks, its been a minute!
Thanks so much for your patience, I needed a bit of a break but I'm gonna try and get myself back into making monthly content for you all. I really hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope to see you over on my streaming channel or see you in the comments of my stream archive channel!

You convinced me to get 13 sentinels... its epic lol
13 Sentinels is so good!!!!!
Can you do a video on a game call Dragon Star Varnir?
Wonderful video buddy!!
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

Me and my cousin used to do it in our bathroom sink. We used to make potions every once in a while too.

5:49 Puts in a casual psychicpebbles joke. God I love this channel.
That MapleStory music gave me nostalgia poisoning, holy fuck. I'm gonna cry.
Your intro unlocked some memories I had long stored away. I used to do something very similar but I would mush up plants together and other similar things with rocks on my metal slide.
I'd mush up berries and leaves and smear it on my sneakers to make me run faster lol
i'm just here for the "early 2000s british children's TV" deep cuts
It’s the last place I expect to see people who had also seen it. I’m so used to seeing American tv shows get referenced on RUclips that I never once saw as a freeview user as a kid.
Seeing jungle run of all things in a video took me to places I wasn’t willing to remember but here we are
Same, I used to watch that a lot as a kid on CITV. It was awesome.
I always wondered if the kids who got stuck in the monkey’s belly had to stay in there forever
6:58 honestly that sounds closer to ‘Smiles and Tears’ from Earthbound with a dash of ‘New Bark Town’ theme from Pokémon Gen 2
Thank you for alerting me to 13 sentinels! I had no vanillaware had released a game last year that looks so up my alley. I'm still in the prologue but damn am I already glad I didn't miss out on it!

Ah yes, another enlightened soul who played 13 Sentinels. Legitimately my favourite game of last year.
I’ve bought it from passionate players of Danganronpa and some other VN games, but I’m so scared to start playing it because of how much praise people seem to give it…
the only reason i haven't play it even do i want to is that my ps4 took a dump on me in April 2019, the motherboard on it stopped working. but if it ever comes to pc or i get a ps5(which at this point is begging for pigs to fly) i will definitely play that gorgeous looking game.

@@Bawinni I guess with the vtuber thing you never want to break character so that makes sense
@@elidasilva5558 that's not the reason, she just wants to move on from it!
Excuse me, DID I SEE A SYMPHOGEAR CLIP IN THIS REVIEW WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LENT?!
GOOD TASTE.
oh my god I have never heard of another person doing the potion thing I used to do that ALL THE TIME at my grandmother's house
Gust title's always have this really comforting air surrounding them! Hope you are doing well Clemps! Much love and take care of yourself!
Holy fuck perfect cut on the egg joke I almost spat out my drink
Atelier making this the first duology/probable trilogy in over a decade gives Ryza a way higher chance of getting into Smash than I ever would have seriously considered up until this exact moment.
Sophie appeared in Dynasty All-stars so it’s not off the cards! They’ve licensed use of the character before!
@@Evanz111 No they haven't. Both games were published by Koei Tecmo and they own both Gust and Omega Force as well as the rights to all characters and franchises. So there was no licensing going on there.
Maybe the next smash?
When you got to the part with Fi making his noise, my dad in the other room said "Sounds like a dog."
I only watched FMA: Brotherhood for the first time last year, and I do agree. It is excellent.
I really feel like your review helped sales of the first game quite a bit. I know that I bought the game because of your review and enjoyed it quite a bit, really reminded me of the JRPGs that I grew up with.

Great vid, Clempsy. I've been avoiding some of your videos for spoilers ala 7 remake and Bravely Default, so I appreciate dis :3

SO CUUUUUUUUUUUTE
Atelier Ryza, return to Rzya's thighzas.
And boy are we are glad to be back.
perfect, i was just deciding on whether or not to pick this up based on your video on the prequel. this really helped seal the deal 👌
l0l i love how you put the dog in her lap xD adorable lil pupper too!
Atelier is the kind of series I'll probably never have the time to get into but will always like the idea of
So glad to see the new video clamps! It was really good! (Also symphogear reference heck yeah)

Personally I think for a final story for Ryza is she goes on an adventure into the Frontier to help build a new town that are buy some ruins. This way we can see some interesting new characters as well as the old and Ryza can use her Alchemy to make a new home for herself and we can see the culmination of the Ruins story arc and where the overall plot is going.

I actually really liked the storyline of the first game.

16:37 We just gonna ignore that giant ass fly on Clemp's wall?
Main issue I had with the combat is that party members feel really superfluous. Like you never really need to use em outside of generating AP so whoever you are controlling can trigger their action commands and build the tactics meter. You don't want them using the AP because they generally spam so hard you will never get a skill off to activate action commands and you won't generate CC to use items. Not helped that most of the parties skills are pretty similar so swapping doesn't really feel necessary and you don't really need more the 2 or 3 items to break combat in general so you don't need to worry about personalizing their item loadout. So at most for me they were back ups in case Ryza got dropped and had to revive her which never happened. Not sure how to really fix that outside of specializing everyone for specific combat scenarios but most enemies don't really have the skillset/resists to warranting changing party lineups.
22:43 is that Synphogear??
THEY CAN DO *THAT* !?!
XD
loved the symphogear reference
07:08 BOY! that caught me off guard, here, have a like.
12:57 This needs to be a gif.
26:51 "me problem"? bro, everybody hates those types of voices, specially from mascots of any kind.
Ah yes, Clemps video from Mr.Clemps.
Clemps brotha you have done it again
What I totally missed this! How did I miss this?
My god the character design is just so good.
I would say it's time for me to get the first Ryza game, but if Gust is smart they'll wait a little while and then release a double pack of both games 👀 Or at least I HOPE they will!
I can't watch yet as I haven't played it yet but have a like. Always enjoy your videos.

MultipliCauldron!

1:50 that moment when you're grinding in World of Final Fantasy while watching this video...
I wish more people spoke about this game! I loved it so much
@@Evanz111 I can understand how anyone can make a TON of assumptions about the game. The gameplay is really great, but the characters don't start off with good impressions.
Usually, amnesia + 2/3 annoying main characters = bad story
@@AntiNihilist That’s fair enough, yeah! It’s the gameplay loop I love. It commemorates Pokemon just as well as Final Fantasy Explorers commemorates Monster Hunter. It’s a fantastic tribute!
Jungle Run looks neat. We had Legends of the Hidden Temple growing up in America. (in fact odds are good we might have stolen it from there like a lot of stuff 😅)
Oh hey, I also marathoned Brotherhood over the course of 3 days like two weeks ago. What a wack coincidence.
Love that plug at the end. Please cover 13 Sentinels, it was my GOTY 2020 and I consider it Vanillaware's masterpiece.
