Ryza because I loved the way each character grew.They were all amateurs at first but they each followed their passion, set their goals, and accomplished them. I especially love how Ryza was not an alchemist but just a regular girl that discovered her love for alchemy. Also their clashing and development with Bos throughout the game was so entertaining.
Probably atelier totori of arland series the map was huge lots of things to do time limit was tight but it was fine wish they imported that on switch in english but sadly only japanese for now
Ryza, Rorona and Firis for me! Rorona was my first game in the series Ryza is the one I put the most hours into so far Firis has a great open world concept! I love how each one is different and stands out in their own way :)
I really appreciate that you take the time to play out these games thoroughly. Like, you don't just hop on the bandwagon as soon as the game comes out. This is why I love your reviews! You're also the person that convinced me to get almost all of the Atelier games, and I love them! TY Ircha :)
@ircha yes this one of my favorite things. U play the games all the way through rather than playing 5 hours, say it is a great game, and then move on to the next game. When u only play a few hours of a game, it's cuz u don't care for it much and u tell us that.
I know, I normally avoid super duper heavy content games like these ones since normally I don't have the time to sit through several cutscenes in one go or to do long sessions of grinding, farming and such for extended periods of times and I really hated that because I love info heavy games with well thought and written stories. Queue the pandemic and I found myself in a situation with lots of spare time to actually play games like these ones and well... I'm addicted! The music is nice, the graphics are lively and it all feel so welcoming it's just amazing! If it weren't for Ircha, I wouldn't likely know about these games and I really like that she goes the extra mile to really put some feel and spirit in her reviews, thanks to her my Switch library is quite mixed with all sort of titles and I love it.
Your videos on this series were what convinced me to finally take Ryza 2 off my wishlist. It’s my first entry to the Atelier series and I’m probably only about 40 hours into it but I’m still absolutely addicted to it. Thanks for the push!
Wow, a lot of new mechanics from the first game (climbing, swimming, etc.). Looks really good. I like how it shows what you're gathering before you grab it.
I have the PS5 version of this game, and really getting into it. Last year when I gave it a try, the crafting seemed too confusing and I wasn't getting into it. But I've been more in the mood for exploration and story in jrpgs this year. Glad I gave it another chance. It's my first Atelier game so I plan on playing the first one too. Thank you for this review.
I had decided on Lulua as my first after watching your review but it took so long to arrive I ended up getting Ryza 1 digitally and I am just loving it as my first Atelier. I did put in Lulua later just to see the graphics and character and it’s so pretty I already know I will love that too. I’m so excited for Ryza 2 as well ahhh!! 💜🐐 I’m so glad you opened my eyes to this series!! 🙏🏼
Thanks for your thorough review! I’ve always been intrigued by the Atelier games and your overview is a great introduction to this game and the entire series. I think I will try Ryza 1 or 2 to start!
Too bad ! Try to play one ! I was VERY skeptical about the series (i dont like weeb stuff very much, and Atelier is pretty much weeb material) then i watched the Ircha review about Ryza. I found a copy of the game under discount and start to playing... and dude, its just a JRPG. A very good one. If you like rpgs and a very complex, deep crafting system you will love these games.
@@liquid3600 I'm not a huge fan of Japanese voices either, but I try to treat them as "Animal Crossing voices" where it's just gibberish to hear what their general voice sounds like 😂
I came here for your rune factory 4 review and i have never left. You even got me back into the atelier series ( I havnt played since the iris trilogy on ps2)
This is such a well made video, I know nothing about the Atelier Ryza series but you seem to have really enjoyed you're time playing it. I might give the game a try!
I literally just started Ryza 2 last night and then Ircha posts this video! If anything, this is gonna keep me energized to play more. Loveee your reviews, Ircha!
It is amazing how YOU are always the most interesting thing in your video. Not the games itself. Always get to me. Think it's because you are so funny and make all kind of great voices effect and jokes. Love all you videos. Thank you !!!
Thank you again for a wonderful review. You sold me on the Atelier series a long time ago. I just bought my first atelier game for my July birthday (Atelier Mysterious Trilogy DX) and can't wait to find it in my mailbox.
Ryza 2 handles difficulty curve a lot better too. In 1, the game allowed you to pretty much breeze through it only to slap you hard with the final boss. Ryza 2 put multiple bosses here and there as a ‘skill check’ before letting you progress. By the time I reached final boss, I was so much better prepared and obliterated him lol
Ircha is the foremost authority and expert on Atelier games. We got to hear her bird Nupi. 😄 I invite you all to join the Ircha Gaming Discord. Hopefully we will see you later!
Thank you so much for your in-depth review! I pre-ordered Ryza 2 the day it was available, but I am still playing through Ryza 1. I am enjoying it so much and think I'm finally used to the new battle system. I also really wish there was English dub as in previous titles though 🥺
its kind of crazy how this comfy game with a cute protag has such badass battle animations. Half the monsters were so adorable I felt bad beating them up.
Thank you for another great review I love atelier series And I’ve enjoyed playing this game Atelier Ryza 1+2 is my favourite game of all time Great review
Love this game thank you for introducing this to mi!! I do have to say the room music you can change. If u go into the diary to BGM and pick the songs you want to hear and it basically makes a playlist at random of the songs you choose . There’s also downloadable songs. That way you are not stuck hearing the same one. 😸 Thank you!!
My boyfriend bought me this for my 30th birthday today! I wanted it because I've watched this review so many times and thought it looked like such a beautiful game :) thank you Xx
I saw Atelier Ryza 2 in store. But don`t wanted it without having Atelier Ryza 1 (no digital copy). A week later or so found the first game at Gamestop. Bought it and immediadely drove 60km to pick up Atelier Ryza 2 too. The only store which had a copy in stock.
As it's a direct continuation to the first game there would be no reason not to start from Ryza 1. I also found it difficult to make progress sometimes. I think that if you don't upgrade some of your tools you can't gather some of the items needed for some main guests. I also didn't know to upgrade the rope before it was mandatory. I saw that atelier mysterious trilogy collector's edition was released today but it costs almost 300€ lol :D I will wait to hopefully get it for cheaper price.
Love your channel have been a viewer for a while and great collab with Metal Jesus who I also watch as well. Keep up the good work. JRPGs aren't my thing but I watch because I enjoy your reviews and takes unlike most reviewers. 👍
I had never heard of the Atelier series before watching your videos and you convinced me, it sounds like everything I like ! I recently bought a switch and I'm dying to save enough money to buy Atelier Ryza
I had to craft the bell, but took a 1 month break from the game, so I COMPLETELY forgot what to do. It took me a good 5 hours to figure it out. This game is pretty chill, I play it before going to sleep, usually doing some fighting and gathering while waiting for my cat and then doing some management while my cat sleeps on my legs. When she gets up to eat, I stop playing for the night. The Romi stuff confused me mostly because sometimes I just go on a gathering spree and end up with thousands of items that I'll never use, but I'm not organized enough to find what I want to keep and what I want to give away. I think I'm going to just give away every item I'm not currently using and do a reset so I can get better shops. It's not like it's hard to find most items anyway :D
It's funny to watch how your makeup matures as your reviews go on. First YT vids are so much different. You found your style. Stick to this, you look the most polished. Cheers.
Bought this a few days ago, is kind of refreshing for a change from the usual same old games I am used to playing , it's abit of a grind but I'm only early in the game and I like it so far
Cc was basically the same concept as AP or MP which is attack points and MP magic points and cc would be core items and core charge so basically as you said it lets you use items and special attacks
Just wanted to comment here again to thank you for converting me into an Atelier fan! I remembered seeing these games on the eshop in the past and I didn’t think it was my type of game (thought it was one of those anime candy crush games 😂). If it wasn’t for the fact I clicked on this recommended video on my feed, I would have never known such an amazing series. P.S. I also managed to convince my bf to play the Atelier series 🤭 so make that TWO successful converts
I didn't even wait for you to review this game before buying it as I knew you were going to love it and as always I love your taste in RPGS. Ircha, I just watched Super Derek and Eric Landon RPG talking about you in a RPG show they did. Eric might be asking you on as a guest to share your awesome views on JRPGS etc. That would be an awesome show :)
I discovered your channel recently. Atelier Ryza 2 sounds very interesting. I haven't finished any Atelier game, yet. But I started with Atelier Iris some days ago. It is fun, but it didn't age that good.
Thanks so much for this Ircha! Maybe after Xenoblade chr. 2 I will try this. Never played atelier. Well whatever is going on in your life we are here for you. You and happy console gamer are my favorite youtubers atm. Love ya and want to see what you've been playing 😎💚👊
I was really hoping that Ryza 1 was going to get an update with English voices because of its popularity/sales numbers (voice acting is expensive) and that further iterations would keep the Eng voice cast. This didn’t happen 😭. It is really too bad because I think the series has a lot of new Eng speaking followers compared to previous Ateliers.
bought it bcs of your unboxing video never know this siries exist tbh 😂 and I LOVE IT i love it way too much. if u guys havent try yet u shud definitely!
Hi ! Nice video ! I discover the Atelier Serie with the lovely Lulua, I'm on the post game ! And I already have Ryza 1 & 2 waiting :D an I am excited to begin ! I didn't know the Atelier saga at all. I discovered its existence thanks to the Fairy Tail game on Switch, there was a Ryza costume for Lucy! And that intrigued me!
Will you review the Atelier Mysterious DX Trilogy? I am playing through it now, but I just want to hear you talk about it, haha. I want to know which of the three you prefer.
I only heard of Atelier series through Erick Langdon. Ryza2 is recommended game to get because has a lot of content. First game is hard to find other than eshop. Initially, I found combat difficult as fast pace turn based active battle but quickly got used to it. Disappointing there isn't English voice acting. I had to look up recipe morph as had no clue how unlock different recipes like Fish oil required to process a quest. Overall, I enjoy the game and love indepth crafting system. Remaking the items is must when facing bosses and tougher enemies. Tempting to collect all items on the field but basket inventory is limited. I find easy to unlock everything up to locked skills. Main things I love about JRPGs are music, graphics and stories. Can't wait to play more of the game.
I got Ryza 2 but haven't had the time to play it yet, I'm excited for vacation to start, I will become the perfect hermit. Edit: I think there is no dubs of any language because that would not make the game release world wide at the same time and that's what they were tryign to go for from now on.
Atelier Ryza is my first entry game in the series its so good and for me Ryza 2 has better combat still havent finished the game but enjoying it a lot.
I bought the 2nd atelier ryza first but didn't play much before I got the first one for 50% off on the eshop. I got the preorder launch discount for the mysterious trilogy too so I'll be busy for awhile, lol. I agree the voice acting is weird since Lydie and Suelle doesn't have it either but I think I remember it in Lulua which came after.
Very informative review. I would like to try the series out at some point and pick up both. They are pretty pricey for Switch compared to what you can find them for on Steam. I noticed Play Asia has a double or was it a triple pack of some of the other games. Maybe when I finish up some of the titles in my backlog. I still have both Xenoblade 1 and 2 to finish!
Kinda unrelated, but have you seen any of the videos for Skyclimbers? It is a kickstarted videogame being developed that will be on all consoles. It seems right up your alley. I pre-ordered, but I thought you might want to check it out. They might even send you a promo code or do an interview or something. Just a thought. You are my favorite reviewer (second place goes to SwitchUp) and I just want to put this game (Skyclimbers) on your radar. They have a RUclips channel.
@@ircha No problem. I'm super excited about it. They have to fulfill on the promise but they make regular videos and progress reports and have committed to work at an accelerated pace of months rather than years.
I played Atelier Iris on the ps2 and remember liking it a lot. I misplaced it awhile ago, and haven't seen a physical copy since. Whenever im on ps store browsing, I always come across these games, and consider jumping in, but decide against it.
''You can swim, now, and for the first time, even go underwater.'' You never played Atelier Firis, right? Sure, the underwater exploration of Atelier Ryza 2 differs from that same exploration in Atelier Firis, but it is a fact that you can go underwater in Atelier Firis and that game was originally released several years before Atelier Ryza 2. Other than that incorrect detail, this was another great review. I won't get the Atelier Ryza games (I often have a policy of ''no dub no buy''), but to everyone else who will get Atelier Ryza 2...I hope you like it :D
I played a good bit of the first Ryza game awhile back. At least halfway through but I dropped it for something else. Now I really want to play Ryza 2 but am torn on if I should replay the first one to the end or not.
I've always been curious about this game. Its like a 'normal' rpg? It's story telling? Its grinding? Every gameplay I try to watch theres a lot of talking and i end up getting bored. (don't punish me). But I keep getting drawn to this game.
@@peachiepao942 What?! Blasphemy! Nah, it did take a little effort to get into compared to the mainstream Atelier games. I may need to go back through her vids and see what it was about Nelke she didn't care for.
@@nathan3084 it is definitely a different game compared to the others! I'm...struggling very much lol but I really love seeing characters from previous titles 🥰
Honestly I’ve just started a replay of Ryza 1-3, and it’s the best series. It’s so cozy, comfy and lovely. I love 3 and all the new updated stuff but 1 will always be my fave cause it was my entryway to atelier🥲🤩
Hello Ircha. Thank You for Your nice reviews. I love jrpg games, I think there is only few I did not try/ play for last 30 years :) I was thinking about playing this as well, but your review shows that the game is terribly tiring (inventory, tons of text and cutscenes) so I won't reach for it, but I respect that you wanted to get through these titles. However, this one is probably not for me. Cheers!
I must say this game looks great, before they had a time limit on the series which they took out & so I play Escha & Logy & also Shallie but overall I hate synthesizing like hate tht & now your saying to progress the story you need to synthesize an item which the game does not even tell you much (if you dnt pay attention to the story) sigh I think I'll pass for a few moreeee years & one thing i always once you use a walkthrough in a game it defeats the purpose of playing it yet we all got to use it at some point sigh. Nice video.
Well as always you inspired me to play this game! Ive never played an Atelier game before and will start this one! You mentioned Genshin Impact so are these two games similar in gameplay!? Because the art style is very similar!
As the high fantasy RPG expert, have you played Ravensword Shadowlands? and if so what do you think of it? It seems like a very budgety Skyrim, it's only £6.99 in my currency, I just wondered if it was worth it since I trust your opinion if you tried it :) Great review I have Ryza 2 in my backlog, I adored the first game. Keep up the great work, love your content
Hey Irchagaming, I loved watching your Switch games reviee before. Ever since I got my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset, I stopped playing my switch though 😅 I really love VR now. Have you tried it yet? Will you? I would like to play online with you in VR would be awesome haha! (I still love the switch reviews too 😉 ) Thank you for all your content, always a nice time watching your videos and reviews : )
I still cannot play my copy of Ryza 2, cause I cannot find a physical copy of the first one without importing.The drawback of not having a dub is the lack of the understanding of some dialogs that aren't subtitled (like during foraging).
Which Atelier game is your favorite, and why? ❤
Ryza because I loved the way each character grew.They were all amateurs at first but they each followed their passion, set their goals, and accomplished them. I especially love how Ryza was not an alchemist but just a regular girl that discovered her love for alchemy.
Also their clashing and development with Bos throughout the game was so entertaining.
Probably atelier totori of arland series the map was huge lots of things to do time limit was tight but it was fine wish they imported that on switch in english but sadly only japanese for now
Ryza, Rorona and Firis for me!
Rorona was my first game in the series
Ryza is the one I put the most hours into so far
Firis has a great open world concept! I love how each one is different and stands out in their own way :)
@@megsthebookworm6432 omg same! Rorona was my first! 😁👍 And Ryza may be the one I've put the most hours in to too! 😂 👍
I just started playing Ryza 1, after spending years saying "meh" to the series. Kicking myself, cause I'm loving it.
Both Ryza’s are in my backlog. My addiction for buying games far outweighs my capacity to play them. 😂
self is that u
lmao
Same
We can all relate hard on that one!
damn so I am not alone with this addiction. I am improving lately. I manage to reduce the backlog

Ahh... always a good day when an Ircha Atelier review notification shows up. A cozy review of a cozy game. 15 minutes to brighten 15 hours.
Aw thank you!! 😁
I'm just playing Ryza 1 right now, it's my first Atelier title, and I bought it because of you! I'm addicted.

In my opinion Lulua is just as fun. Though it's older and more challenging especially if you are not thorough with the side guests.
Nice one Irene! Mark
Thanks 😍😍
@@ircha Gotta be time for a collab soon I reckon!
This series has been in my to get list since you hyped it up so much, once I damage my backlog a bit I'm buying the first one. Great video as always.
I felt a tear coming.... feeling blessed to have so many uploads this week by our favorite gamer 🥰
😍 New video coming soon 😁👍
Thanks for your thorough review! I’ve always been intrigued by the Atelier games and your overview is a great introduction to this game and the entire series. I think I will try Ryza 1 or 2 to start!

I was really hoping that Ryza 1 was going to get an update with English voices because of its popularity/sales numbers (voice acting is expensive) and that further iterations would keep the Eng voice cast. This didn’t happen 😭. It is really too bad because I think the series has a lot of new Eng speaking followers compared to previous Ateliers.
As someone who's played the first one but hasn't gotten around to the second game yet... DAMN Tao gets a glow up! My child looks cool now 😂
bought it bcs of your unboxing video never know this siries exist tbh 😂 and I LOVE IT i love it way too much. if u guys havent try yet u shud definitely!
Absolutely! It's a series that's not talked about enough, I feel like? I highly recommend this series 😊❤️
Hi ! Nice video ! I discover the Atelier Serie with the lovely Lulua, I'm on the post game ! And I already have Ryza 1 & 2 waiting :D an I am excited to begin !
I didn't know the Atelier saga at all.
I discovered its existence thanks to the Fairy Tail game on Switch, there was a Ryza costume for Lucy! And that intrigued me!
Will you review the Atelier Mysterious DX Trilogy? I am playing through it now, but I just want to hear you talk about it, haha. I want to know which of the three you prefer.
Great review! I bought a few days ago and just came In today but haven’t finished the first one yet.
I had a blast with Ryza 2, even though I had many problems with Ryza 1. They really fixed a lot of my issues here.
Thank you Ircha, very cool review.
Okay Mr. Muscle 12-pack. IDK who you are but I see you. 👀
Love the bird ^^ have her join a review!
Thanks for the great video!
I only heard of Atelier series through Erick Langdon. Ryza2 is recommended game to get because has a lot of content. First game is hard to find other than eshop. Initially, I found combat difficult as fast pace turn based active battle but quickly got used to it. Disappointing there isn't English voice acting. I had to look up recipe morph as had no clue how unlock different recipes like Fish oil required to process a quest. Overall, I enjoy the game and love indepth crafting system. Remaking the items is must when facing bosses and tougher enemies. Tempting to collect all items on the field but basket inventory is limited. I find easy to unlock everything up to locked skills. Main things I love about JRPGs are music, graphics and stories. Can't wait to play more of the game.
I added the bundle to my wishlist and all there is so much stuff in the eshop for these games I love it
thanks for the reviews i have switch n few games but idk wat else to play at the moment
I got Ryza 2 but haven't had the time to play it yet, I'm excited for vacation to start, I will become the perfect hermit. Edit: I think there is no dubs of any language because that would not make the game release world wide at the same time and that's what they were tryign to go for from now on.
Atelier Ryza is my first entry game in the series its so good and for me Ryza 2 has better combat still havent finished the game but enjoying it a lot.
This is giving me a bit of dark cloud 2 vibes and I’m here for it!
I bought the 2nd atelier ryza first but didn't play much before I got the first one for 50% off on the eshop. I got the preorder launch discount for the mysterious trilogy too so I'll be busy for awhile, lol. I agree the voice acting is weird since Lydie and Suelle doesn't have it either but I think I remember it in Lulua which came after.
I got the collectors box set of this game and I CANNOT wait to play this! Just bummed I can’t find a physical copy of AR1 anywhere 😕
Very informative review. I would like to try the series out at some point and pick up both. They are pretty pricey for Switch compared to what you can find them for on Steam. I noticed Play Asia has a double or was it a triple pack of some of the other games.
Maybe when I finish up some of the titles in my backlog. I still have both Xenoblade 1 and 2 to finish!
Waited for your quality content. I hope there will be copies of the atelier series here in the ph. You're very influential. Hahaha
Kinda unrelated, but have you seen any of the videos for Skyclimbers? It is a kickstarted videogame being developed that will be on all consoles. It seems right up your alley. I pre-ordered, but I thought you might want to check it out. They might even send you a promo code or do an interview or something. Just a thought. You are my favorite reviewer (second place goes to SwitchUp) and I just want to put this game (Skyclimbers) on your radar. They have a RUclips channel.
Thank you so much 😍!! And I'll now check it out and see, thanks again 👍
@@ircha No problem. I'm super excited about it. They have to fulfill on the promise but they make regular videos and progress reports and have committed to work at an accelerated pace of months rather than years.
if youve beaten the optional boss after main game ... i salute your patience
I played Atelier Iris on the ps2 and remember liking it a lot. I misplaced it awhile ago, and haven't seen a physical copy since. Whenever im on ps store browsing, I always come across these games, and consider jumping in, but decide against it.
''You can swim, now, and for the first time, even go underwater.'' You never played Atelier Firis, right? Sure, the underwater exploration of Atelier Ryza 2 differs from that same exploration in Atelier Firis, but it is a fact that you can go underwater in Atelier Firis and that game was originally released several years before Atelier Ryza 2. Other than that incorrect detail, this was another great review. I won't get the Atelier Ryza games (I often have a policy of ''no dub no buy''), but to everyone else who will get Atelier Ryza 2...I hope you like it :D
"Ssstoryyyy". "Ggggameee play" etc 😆.
Love your humor 👍
"verdict!"💁♀️🙆♀️🙅♀️
Don't forget "Music" 🌙👌
Very solid review. I never got too big into the series, but there seems to be a lot of enjoyable stuff in there.
I always go to your review before buying. Havnt disappointed me yet others, I guess, don't get my kind of gaming. You do! 🤗💕
I’ve put in at least a few hundred thousand hours into this series between Wii vita ps4 and sone I’ve played it on a few different systems
I played a good bit of the first Ryza game awhile back. At least halfway through but I dropped it for something else. Now I really want to play Ryza 2 but am torn on if I should replay the first one to the end or not.
Looks such an amazing game but why do so many JRPG’s have to have excessive cut scenes and turn based combat?😥
I've always been curious about this game. Its like a 'normal' rpg? It's story telling? Its grinding? Every gameplay I try to watch theres a lot of talking and i end up getting bored. (don't punish me). But I keep getting drawn to this game.
Atelier games have long been a guilty pleasure of mine. You should also give Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists a go as well if you haven't already.
Ydarf I can't remember what video it is in, but she mentioned she didn't like Nelke at all :(
@@peachiepao942 What?! Blasphemy!
Nah, it did take a little effort to get into compared to the mainstream Atelier games. I may need to go back through her vids and see what it was about Nelke she didn't care for.
@@nathan3084 it is definitely a different game compared to the others! I'm...struggling very much lol but I really love seeing characters from previous titles 🥰
Honestly I’ve just started a replay of Ryza 1-3, and it’s the best series. It’s so cozy, comfy and lovely. I love 3 and all the new updated stuff but 1 will always be my fave cause it was my entryway to atelier🥲🤩
Sooo good! 😍😍
@@ircha it’s my comfort game!’ I get a bit caught up on synthesising though, think I spent 2 hrs making stuff😭😂
Hello Ircha. Thank You for Your nice reviews. I love jrpg games, I think there is only few I did not try/ play for last 30 years :) I was thinking about playing this as well, but your review shows that the game is terribly tiring (inventory, tons of text and cutscenes) so I won't reach for it, but I respect that you wanted to get through these titles. However, this one is probably not for me. Cheers!
What is better ryza 2 or sophie 2? Thanks been loving atelier from watching your videos
I must say this game looks great, before they had a time limit on the series which they took out & so I play Escha & Logy & also Shallie but overall I hate synthesizing like hate tht & now your saying to progress the story you need to synthesize an item which the game does not even tell you much (if you dnt pay attention to the story) sigh I think I'll pass for a few moreeee years & one thing i always once you use a walkthrough in a game it defeats the purpose of playing it yet we all got to use it at some point sigh. Nice video.
Well as always you inspired me to play this game! Ive never played an Atelier game before and will start this one! You mentioned Genshin Impact so are these two games similar in gameplay!? Because the art style is very similar!
Great video!!!!! Can't wait for your next one!!!! Thank you!!!!
This was one of my favorites
I still need to play this, I’m pretty hyped :D
I still say the best Atelier games are the Mana Khemia series. I would love them to make a third game.
As the high fantasy RPG expert, have you played Ravensword Shadowlands? and if so what do you think of it? It seems like a very budgety Skyrim, it's only £6.99 in my currency, I just wondered if it was worth it since I trust your opinion if you tried it :)
Great review I have Ryza 2 in my backlog, I adored the first game.
Keep up the great work, love your content
Hey Irchagaming, I loved watching your Switch games reviee before. Ever since I got my Oculus Quest 2 VR headset, I stopped playing my switch though 😅 I really love VR now. Have you tried it yet? Will you? I would like to play online with you in VR would be awesome haha! (I still love the switch reviews too 😉 ) Thank you for all your content, always a nice time watching your videos and reviews : )
Straight Up Buy! Both Atelier Thighza- errr I mean Ryza games are perfect in both story, synthesizing and combat.
-Cultured Bucket
I like your make up in this video Ircha 🥰.. Watching this again lol.
I still cannot play my copy of Ryza 2, cause I cannot find a physical copy of the first one without importing.The drawback of not having a dub is the lack of the understanding of some dialogs that aren't subtitled (like during foraging).
New sub. Love the enthusiasm!
